Up there 2,900 meters above sea level, at the summit of Mount Pulag, I thanked God for my life and for my family. I was reminded once again of His greatness. God is really more than wonderful and more than amazing.
At the dawn of May 17, 2010, what I saw was a spectacular view of HIS creation, unfolding before my eyes as the sun slowly crept and established its presence in the sky. As of this writing, and to my mind, none can compare yet to the majestic and breathtaking drama that is Mount Pulag.
I was able to climb Mount Pulag with three people closest to my heart - my husband and my two boys. I was also with dearest friends. It was a difficult experience not because of the steep trails but because of the temperature. My tolerance to cold was really put to an extreme test there. Even my patience was stretched to its maximum limit.
I realized that not everybody gets to see the grandeur of Mount Pulag and the spectacular sunrise there. But to all of us who had the opportunity, I know what a great experience it was and we are all LUCKY to have gained it. We are blessed.
I left the summit of Mount Pulag with the thought that if I have a God who created such grandeur, then my GOD will also continue to work wonders in my life. So there at that highest elevation achievement of my life, I threw all my cares to the air, I casted all my worries, bad memories, hatred, envy and selfishness. Upon going down, I promised to take better care of myself, to love life, to always make my family my number one priority, to love those who are around me, to cherish my friends, to be positive at all times..
When I reached home, I knew I mutated into an improved version of me.
