Happy Halloween...ooops Happy Camper of the Month

Who would think that this 55 year old granny can still climb mountains? Naysayers said she's just too old and should stick to cross stitch and her rocking chair. Hell NO! The First Lady of Yokogawa Philippines recently climbed Mt. Dulang Dulang... the second highest mountain in the country. When her doctor told her to stop what she's doing because of lumbar problem... she made sure to get another doctor and slapped him. Our Happy Camper does not need a porter to carry her bags. She needs a good looking porter to carry her during climbs. She's 'very energetic and can even make KC Concepcion run for her money.
She swears she'll never climb Mt. Cristobal because it's the Devil's Mountain. Me thinks she'll drive away all the evil spirits in the mountain when she sets foot on it. Tita Merly is a woman who's always in a hurry... to buy souvenirs. She arrives early in the meeting place well ahead of everybody. Occasionally, she'll arrive one day ahead. I just dont know if it is the early bird mentality or alzeihmers catching up on her.
Keep smiling Tita Merly because you are our Happy Camper of the Month!
