I consider this summer as one of the most random season I've ever had in my entire lifetime. From being a part of this mission team going to Dipolog and all the way to visiting these beautiful places in this one called paradise, then truly it's an exciting and a memory-filled event I'll cherish and I'll keep in this lifetime.

Despite such unforgettable experience here in Dipolog, I can't also help but feel incomplete, thinking that I have skipped a blog for more than a week now. And that's truly awful right? Anyway this is with the fact that the signal here is quite slower compare to Cebu. However inspite this, still it did not move me from enjoying such beautiful experiences because for one's in a while it's just really nice to be alone and be completely free from anything that may disturb you from inhaling the natural beauty of this one of a kind place.


One, I can generously share to you is our experience here in this Linabo Peak. People wanting to reach at this summit has to take 3003 steps before reaching the topmost area and overlooking view of Dipolog and Dapitan City.

Okay to clarify things first, I called it unfinished it's because we were not able to reach the top. Yes, that's right because we all really run out of time and ofcourse strength and energy on our stint of going higher and higher. Hahahaha. That's why the four of us called it "The Climb of a Lifetime" because of the unexpected height and draining climb in this peak.

We travelled late already going to Linabo at 1:30 pm because we spend a long time at lunch in a certain restaurant here. Then, we arrived at Linabo 1:50 pm since its just minutes away from the center of the City. But wait, did i mention that it's a late minute decision of pursuing at this Peak which made us craft a memory of a lifetime? Yes, it surely did. That's why random travels are indeed the best in life.

One of the rural views you see as you travel all the way to Linabo Peak.

The gateway and the signages notifying the hikers of the observed rules pursuing the peak.

Sadly, we only reached at 1000 steps. This is for the fact that we are now starting to get cramps and shakings with our legs. On the other side, we dont want to risk the time of getting back to the center of the city because we still have to travel back in time for our travel to Cebu. Though thinking this, I cant also help but laugh at the sight of seeing my friends all down because of this exhausting hike. We really teased our heavy weight friend yugs at this sight. Hahahahha.

The struggle also of this hike is we never really felt the wind freshing us up as we go higher and higher but instead we felt the hot temperature breezing us. Moreover, It did not also help us not bringing a bottle of water, no warm-up or stretchings and above all me also wearing sweater at this whole time of hiking. Huh. Anyway, that's why as of this writing I can still really feel the pain and numb with my legs and back in this hike.

This is exactly the reason why we have to disappoint our stint of pursuing to that 3003 steps having to aboard on the ship before 7 going back to Cebu. Though I'm personally disappointed, still the fire in me to go back and finished at the top of this peak will be my cause at my next return. Hope this gang would still mind pursuing it.

The sight of their boulevard, really a good way to freshen up and recover from the unimaginable fatigue of the Peak. This is truly a good way of compensation with the cold wind satisfying the thirst of your senses.

Before we officially left Dipolog City, We had first this supermeals to reenergized us from that total draining climb.


Truly, that being here in Dipolog is one of the most memorable higlights in my life. Being random and spontaneous are real things in this life. Shalom everyone and may I also know your interesting blogs about Dipolog and let's bring the atmosphere of this city at its Peak.
