No Ordinary Girl

It was days before Christmas when we planned to trek the Sanchez Peak. I was originally invited by one of my beshies but i was not able to join them because I was very busy preparing for the Christmas eve.

On Christmas day, one of my friends from elementary messaged me if I am available for a mini-reunion. I suggested that we hike Sanchez Peak for a change and also because I want it off my bucket list.

We planned and decided that the hike will be on the next day, a day hike.
