These are the proofs he went cray cray, photoshop-ing himself.
But this story isn't about him. He needed some therapy and the best way to get him back to sanity is mountain climbing (and doing the photo above). Thus, Pico de Loro in Ternate, Cavite.
It's my second time in Pico de Loro and I just wanted to redeem myself from the first one that I had because I was a pussy I didn't even try going to the famous Parrot's Beak.
This time, there were five of us who joined my boyfriend's craziness.

| Dennis, Kiko, Toots, Phil, Gem, and Da |
We met up at around 5 am in Baclaran to board a bus en route to Ternate (P80) then rode another tricyle (P225) to DENR. Well, we all know the drill and why don't we fast forward to the main event, shall we?
Cut to: the jaw-dropping Parrot's Beak
I still can't believe we managed to reach the summit in 2.5 hours compared from the last time I've been here. I feel that my body got stronger and lighter! Char. But kidding aside, Sir Kiko is a living testament on how we can get stronger and leaner by mountaineering. Haha! He was our pacer and not even a sign from him getting tired.
He used to be this:
Good Job!
Big thanks to the good weather, I didn't worry about a puddle of mud I might slipped into. It was such a perfect day, indeed. And a big factor why we trail blazed.
Though no mudslides, we were challenged by the short assault going to the summit since the soil is very loose and there's a little to grip on to.
Now here's to the fun part. Remember my boyfriend wanted to put up an office on top of the Parrot's Beak? He failed his mission. :( Instead, he settled "working" on top of Pico de Loro's summit. Career!
Additional craziness won't hurt as the rest of the group had their own way at the beak.
Phil doing his I-just-got-out-from-shower pose.
Me trying to be pa-cute teenybopper
Toots who looks like he came straight from the mall.
Sir Kiko with his YOLO pose in trunks and goggles.
Dennis who didn't have a clue about this costume party.
And Dada who's disappointed he wasn't able to bring the laptop on top of the Parrot's Beak
We descended the mountain non-stop in 1.5 hours. Not bad! Now, I already redeemed myself climbing the Parrot's Beak and will definitely climb this mountain again.
I don't know about the therapy if it works, but who cares? Craziness will take us to places we've never been before. Haha profound!
Till next climb!
