Elusive Mount Mayon
Wet or very wet.
As I have already mentioned in my previous post, that is how I would describe the weather here. I am speaking of course as someone who resides high up in the mountainous regions (read: taga bukid). LoL. Anyway, at first, I did find it hard to adjust to the very wet weather here and to days that never go by without any rainfall, but I am pretty much warming up to it nowadays.
Due to the high altitude, more often than not, I also get to experience really foggy days (and I mean really foggy!), and as I look below the cliffs beside as we travel to and from our work site, I can’t help but imagine the eerie feeling you somehow always get when you watch horror movies.
One time I asked our driver,
“Meron naba nahulog sa bangin dito?” (yep..tagalog kunuhay…hehehe),
to which he replied,
“Wala pa ho sir, gusto nyong subukan?”
LoL. Kidding..the first part was his reply, and the second part was part of my mental conversation, my unverbalized thoughts, hehe.
Anyway, as we travel to our site, we get to see the majestic Mt. Mayon from afar, granted that the skies are clear and there is no fog. We’ve seen it on a couple of occasions and indeed, it is a sight to behold. I mean, I have seen it on postcards and from numerous history books, but nothing really compares to the feeling of seeing it with your own two eyes.
..ang mga bakasyonista..bow!..
Which reminds me..my exilim digicam has bade me goodnight. Game over. I dunno but there seem to be many horizontal lines whenever I try and take pics with it, but when I use it to take videos, all seems to be working well. I dunno whadaheck is wrong with it. I am not in the mood to purchase a new one anytime soon. But it always is good to have one in hand whenever you are in the mood for taking snapshots, right?
Everyday I get to watch the perfect conical shape of Mt. Mayon from afar, and everyday I am reminded of my retired digital cam…
sigh…
