On our second year photo-trip anniversary, we spent the past weekend in Quezon Province. The original Wildboyz, Mot, Ryan, Raymond and I, welcomed our fellow high school buddy Mykko in an unforgettable adventure filled with burn-sessions, gastronomic challenges, tests of physical and mental endurance, and of course, non-stop laughter.
Our first stop was in Taytay Falls in Majayjay, (we like to pronounce it as Ma-jey-jey for a masculine feel) Laguna. I can't believe we survived after passing through the treacherous steep and unfinished roads, meeting town-folks armed with bolos (HUGE knife), and hiking for 15 minutes with no lights in the path. After seeing the waterfall and the rocks, we completely forgot all our stress and hunger, so we quickly set-up our gears and started shooting.
We reached the Tayabas proper around 730pm and hurriedly went to Mot's Aunt's place to leave our things and eat dinner. I am thankful that I still live after meeting the Hounds of Hell in the house (Owner: Mot, wag mo muna buksan yung gate baka kainin sila). I think the writer of Resident Evil movie also went there and got the idea of T-virus injected dogs that eats whatever flesh it can see. Then, we ate at Mi Casa de Tayabas and ordered lots and lots (and lots and loooots) of food, then went back to watch Taken in DVD.
The boyz woke up at 4am and immediately went to Malagonlong Bridge, one of the oldest bridge (160 years old) in the Philippines. It was hard to pass through the rocks because everything was unstable and slippery so I wasn't able to take many pictures. The fun began when we photo-tripped in the middle of the new highway bridge, where we needed to avoid all incoming traffic (composed of trucks, cars, motorcycles, bicycles and a police car). We did many poses in the middle of the road but the highlight shot of the day was our unique group jumping shot courtesy of Ryan's cam.

Since Mot attended another photo-shoot, the remaining Wildboyz went back to the HQ at around 9am for another movie trip (The Crazies) , and since its movie time, we bought a half gallon Nestle Baby Ruth flavored ice cream to enhance our bum experience. After we had our well-deserved siesta, we ate lunch (at around 5pm) in Kamayan sa Palaisdaan and ordered lots and lots (and lots and lots) of food, again.
Our Quezon Project was a very memorable experience. Nothing beats bro-bonding that shares a common passion for photography, music and eating. I hope we can continue this tradition to inspire others and bring in new members because as the saying goes, "the more, the manyer.
two thumbs up! :)
