2015 Trips:

April 25, 2015, my first motorcycle road trip together with my co-xplorerboy Melvin. We had a quick motorcycle ride to the Province of Rizal. We managed to visit two towns, Pililla and Tanay, Rizal. First stop was at Pililla, to visit the so called "Wind Farm of Rizal". Next and last stop for our quick motorcycle trip was Twin Waterfalls of Tanay named as Daranak Falls and Batlag Falls.

April 4, 2015, a quick day tour activity and quick city tour in the province of Nueva Ecija. We managed to visit the towns of Gapan and Papaya. In Gapan, x-plorerboyz attended a christening held in Three Kings Parish Church and had a quick city tour around Gapan and followed by a sidetrip to hidden gem of Papaya, Nueva Ecija known as Minalungao National Park.

March 20-22, 2015, a family vacation on my mother-in-law's province at Baccuit, Sur, Bauang, La Union and Naguilian, La Union, we had such different activities like beacheenering, go to farm, meet & greet my mother-in-law's relatives and a night of family gathering.

Note: This is my journey map since I have started sharing my adventures and stories behind my travels, together with family, friends, co-mountaineer and specially with the X-plorerboyz.......

I've started traveling since 2004, after an unexpected death of my mother. That was the time I indulge myself into backpacking and mountaineering. Since then i've climb different mountains of our country. I've started as a freelance backpacker, joining different climbing invites, started with LA COBRA, YABAG, HALHALIN, and other few mountaineering groups out there.....i'm really sorry to forgot their names...^_^

But since 2007, i'm really glad  to joined a company organized outdoor group, and i'm happy to say that i was no longer a freelancer backpacker. I've joined a group called SPI Mountaineering Club (A Company Outdoor Org) based from Paranaque City, as of now, i'm of the oldest from the group that still climbs once in a while from "Batch ECO", Mt. Dagulgol 2007 Induction Climb......

But since i've started blogging...it made me realized why i not started it way back 2004 and then...
The year is 2010 when Meet the X-plorers born, i just tried it first for the first month to do stories about my 2009 climbing adventures, and the rest was history....a name was born.... LAKWATSERONG TATAY became one of my nicknames since then....due to my nonstop outdoor and trekking experiences, backpacking trips and most of all this trips should be TIPID TRIPS!!!!!!
