The Duhatan Ridge: The Magnificent Camp Site of Mt. Batolusong to Witness the Sea of Clouds

By
The thing that you should be looking forward to see when visiting Mt. Batolusong is the iconic sea of clouds view when you're at the Duhatan Ridge, the usual camp site of climbers. Although it has limited flat space to set up your tents, the sea of clouds makes your stay on this ridge worthy.

Duhatan Ridge, from the name itself, I assume is that it came from the name of a fruit-bearing tree called Duhat, in Bisaya and Cebuano we call it lumboy. It's just about an hour and half or two hike from the jump off point of Barangay San Andres.

The sea of clouds is spectacular and picturesque especially during rainy and cloudy seasons, and today we're lucky that the weather cooperated for us to witness this magnificent view from the Duhatan Ridge, our camp site.

The Sea of Clouds from the Duhatan Ridge

A lot of things you'd love to see there, as for me who's used to live in urban areas, seeing rice fields is a thing to miss since I rarely go home and when I do, I just have little time to stay there and immerse myself to nature again. It's just like my home where you can see rice fields and breathe some fresh air from nature while trekking and enjoying the view.

The Rice field you will pass by as you start your trek to Duhatan Ridge 




I know mountain climbers are always ready and they always are bringing things they need, but as for people who aren't really into it and are just wanting an escapade to try something new, they might forget to bring things they need, such as drinking water and other stuffs, but yeah, don't worry because in Mt. Batolusong you can find mini stores like the photo below, and they also sell refreshments and some healthy snacks like steamed banana and camote, fresh buko etc, there's also an ice cream! Yes you heard it right! The little ice cream on popsicle sticks which you'd love to bite when you're very thirsty trying to reach the summit.

I saw someone selling it there in the Mapatag Plateau and not on this store below, unlucky I am that I left my money in the camp site to reach the Rangyas peak that's why I wasn't able to by the popsicle. Next time, bring some money guys so you won't regret you don't know what's great buys ahead, so better prepare even just a little cash would do.

The mini store just a little hike from the Duhatan Ridge, very near to the Camp Site 

The photo below is the usual place where hikers set up tents. It's part of the Duhatan Ridge, you could see the Duhat trees around, plus you got an amazing view side by side, this is the perfect spot to witness the sea of clouds.

In case you're still raising your eye brows on what the Duhat fruit looks like, I got some for you, so the next time you see them you know it's the tree behind this ridge, and yeah you can eat it it's edible. Make sure you eat the ripe one that's dark purple coloured and not the pinkish and reddish ones because they're still not ripe and not still good to eat 😂

Reaction Paper for the movie The Count of Monte Cristo

By
The Second Part of the Reaction Paper on the Count of Monte Cristo Movie. The Count of Monte Cristo is a great story that helps you to realize how far the reaches of vengeance can really go. When the Count is going around ruining people it seems like he is more of a machine than a person. It seems like he has no emotions and can’t forgive the people who hurt him. Although some people might argue that the people who wronged the Count truly had what was coming to them, some of the Count’s actions could be seen as unnecessary. In the end everyone will be punished or rewarded by God and you shouldn’t be worried about what other people do or say as much as you are worried about yourself. “God will give me justice,” this line which was engraved in the wall on the prison was retained on my mind when I watched the movie” The Count of Monte Cristo.” This movie amazed me very much because of its excellent theme. I really like the story because it has a mixed of drama, suspense and rom

Pluggle Review: 6 Reasons Why I doubt Pluggle and Why I'm Not Joining

By
First thing first, I am not concluding that this Pluggle is a scam because as per my observation and as far as my knowledge is concerned, people including my close friends seems profiting from this scheme and got the money they invested into it in a short period of time, and with profit ( although I'm sure the return of investment they got was paid by the people they invited and not from the company itself ). I think there's no doubt as to their legitimacy because, YES they are legitimate and are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the Philippines as PLUGGLE INC. Are they scam? " Scam " is defined as a " dishonest scheme or a fraud ", are they being dishonest? I think no because they intend to do what they say. Are they " fraudulent "? Fraud is defined as " wrongful or criminal deception intended  to result in financial or personal gain "? This is also vague but I think I was struck by the last pa
