Back Story: I deactivate my social media accounts a lot. It has become a habit actually. I was planning on spending another long weekend in my little room swamp with all the books I badly need to finish. But in the middle of a busy week, I was tempted to check my not-so-active old FB account just to waste some time after a full day at work. I wasn't expecting anything worthy in that feed because aside from it is an old account with an inactive friends list, it wasn't subscribed to the pages I used to spend most of my time whenever I'm on Facebook. Not until I stumbled into an FB event confirmation post of a close friend. The photo banner used in the event thread irked up my interest. It was a hike for a cause. Without batting an eye, I clicked on the post and checked the details. Just then, I decided to join the event, and the rest is history. About Akyat Serye: Hike for a CauseAkyat Serye was a hike for a cause activity to help the children of Tuyan, Naga, who experienced a great deal of water shortage. The said event was organized in cooperation with Team Bang - Cebu, The Bisaya Traveler, and other hike enthusiasts in Cebu to gather donations like school supplies, sanitation items, etc., from the interested participants. On our way to Temple of Leah, I had the chance to talk to some of the organizers and learned that some of them are Engineering students from CIT. The Akyat Serye ExperienceI literally have no idea about the difficulty level of the trail. I was quite worried that I couldn't make it to the end, considering that this was my comeback hike after some time. But since it was an event for a cause and was open for many joiners, I thought that maybe the hike would be fairly easy. Or so I thought. It was, unfortunately, quite a struggle. I remembered a lot of times I felt I couldn't proceed any further. But we were all halfway to the destination, and there's no use turning back. After a quick orientation, we started walking from the left of the church, going to the Brgy. Napo, which then served as the jump-off point of the hike. Right there and then, an immediate steep climb welcomed us. A trail followed it with numerous ascents by the edge of a mountain.
