*** I did it already!!! ***

*wink*wink* Yahoo!!! I did it already!!! Yesterday, went to glorietta with hubby, and we went to his favorite store (it's turning out to be my favorite store as well :D), Tobys. I am looking for a new pair of rubber shoes ( I need it badly!), but I wasn't able to find one that I want. There was a mini sports tournament that was going on, and getting bored (as I always am!), I saw the wall climbing area... I dared myself to try that, since I have been wanting to do that for the longest time, and at long last, I finally had the courage to try it! Nyahahahaha....At first I thought, it was, yah know, easy... the first path that I tried was fairly easy, the rocks were positioned next to each other and it wasn't that high. I finished it in no time at all, with no sweat! :D Even the second path was easier than the first path. But the third path was so high (I was thinking it was as high as our apartment) and the rocks were apart. The instructor told me to try this path, and I knew this is where the challenge will come in. There were even some badminton players watching me, and yah know, giving me the moral support. :D :D :D...

I climbed, and at around 5 feet, it was pretty easy, but my arms were already failing me, and my grip was not that strong anymore. Even so, I still wanted to prove to myself that I know I can climb the top of the wall. There were a few times that I struggled halfway through the wall, and there was a time when I honestly thought I was about to fall, but then again, I steadily regained my balance, when I was three fourths up, I really thought I could not do it at all. I was shouting "Ayako na! Hindi ko na kaya" But the folks down, which includes the instructor, hubby and the badminton player were saying "Kaya mo ian!" Then I said, "O sige na nga, eh di kaya ko". The instructor told me to hold on to whatever I can grasp, since I was a first timer, that was allowed. I grabbed onto the railing and held onto it while I reach for the rock. And I became so ecstatic as I reached for the top. :D When I reached the top... I felt like I have already reached the top of a mountain.... Okay, so I am exagerating a little. Hehehehe... To be honest, when I reached the top I didn't even know what to do. Hehehe... I called the instructor and he told me to get ready to go down and to rapell, like what they do in the movies... I did that, and I enjoyed it so much... To go up was so hard, but to go down was the best! Honey was even teasing me that I enjoyed it to much that even if the instructor wasn't ready yet, I wanted to go down already. :D

When I went down, the badminton player who was watching me congratulated me for a job well done. He even said "Kaya mo naman pala eh! See? Malay mo ikaw ang first ever Filipina to climb Mout Everest. Good Job! Congartulations!" We were laughing as he was saying this, but then again, I was proud. At least, for a first timer, I guess I did well. It's just that my arms were failing me already, and they were also loosing their strength. Honey told me not to go up anymore, because I cant already, I tried, but my grip started slipping, and I thought it was just better to rest it off and do it again the next time. I really enjoyed that experience and I am planning to go back and do it again. Maybe we can do it at Rockwell, and maybe I can talk honey into doing it as well. :D
