PSE end of the year trading

Dec. 28, 2012 - PSE end end with optimism, above 5800, window dressing for some, the 3rd quarter GDP @ 7% plus, the credit upgrade by S&P, Moody and Fitch.  I supposed to write the part 3 of our journey but I do not want to forget the last trading day of 2012.  Anticipating the window dressing I sold one of my favorite BDO, i will get back for more in January.  See if correction will happen in first week or the second.  In my list are MPI and EDC.  CPG and FDC are also on my watch.

Travel and Adventure - Palanan 2

I have proven, I'm wrong by under estimating the mountain trails, it's a virgin forest.  Birds, wild animals were spotted.  The cliff and the wild is overwhelming, but it was a great fun for explorers.  We started to move and now it's descending...yahooooo...... at last, we will reach the Destination, the place in the wild where human touch to nature is limited.  The place is remote and far to human.  Descending the mountain, we reach not the sea but a valley with coconut.. and the next thing was, enjoy young coconut and it's juices.  We ate a lot, starving from the climbing and descend.  I hope i brought bundles of chocolates.

Travel and Adventure - Palanan

May 2012

My latest visit in Palanan, Isabela.  Here's what made the trips so nice and interesting.  Upon landing, I had in mind the feeling that this would be a great adventure, though I did not plan for it.  Oh! it's summer and the climate was on for trekking and long walk to the sea shores.  Yes, we did, Alvin my nephew and Angel our tour guide arranged for the three day outskirts.

Destination: Disumanget

Palanan Isabela - Disumanget

From town proper, trekking mountains took three hours, passing through beautiful rivers and streams and rainforests.  The journey was filled with excitement, with my heart and my brain imagining the beauty of the place that I have visited when I was seven.  After 32 years, what would it be? How does it look like? Is it the same when I get there the first place.  Oh, I can't wait to see, i can't keep my brain thinking how beautiful the place was, hope that this time, it's natural beauty is intact.

On our way, we met Rody (Agta - native) together with Lemon, also a native. Took pictures with them and chat a little, share a piece of chocolates, then we proceed to our journey.  Looking afar, the mountain seems to be small but the trekking damaged my Croc sandals and i asked the team to take a breath at the top, checking my compass 3,000 feet above sea level. I thought I can easily conquer the mountain but I was wrong.
