Tales of Mt. Dulang-Dulang & Macau




The Gang left without me for Mt. Dulang-Dulang. I was in Macau... how could they do this me! While they sip their wine staring at the starry night, i am drinking my beer getting dizzy with the glittering lights of Lisboa. Totally Unfair!!!



They trekked the mountain trail led by the Pied Piper while I huffed and puffed catching the trains and ferry that will take me back to Hong Kong. These people are my friends they say...huh! I am sourgraping alright, but who would'nt? The pictures they showed were AWESOME to say the least and they even managed to smile doing this while i bit my lips in envy grrrrg. I am a Happy Camper, but camping in Macau is not funny while the Gang is having a grand time at the summit of Mt. Dulang-Dulang!!!

Happy Lawyer is a Happy Camper


Atty Joel proudly shows off his bruises and insect bites in his first climb. Although he regularly goes to the gym, mountain climbing proved to be a different world. He threatened the mosquitoes in Mt. Arayat with litigation if they did not stop attacking him. The insects responded by ganging up on him. He debated with the steep trail to cooperate. The trail became a "slippy trail" and knock him out 25 times. The law school taught him to fight it out, the mountain taught him to accept and adapt. At the end of the day it does not matter how many times you are proven right, it's how you live your life. Atty Joel will be climbing more mountains... and he deserves to be our Happy Camper of the Month!
