Selfie Sunday : Erick of Roadworthyman and Rocel of Hapipaks

The Happy Roadworthy Couple in Pulag

It is the penultimate week of the love month and I must admit that the cheesy bug sometimes bit me. So with your indulgence, let me share a selfie of two of my good friends in and outside the travel blogging world. Erick and Rocel both love photography, traveling and rock and roll music and the first time I saw them together, I know that they are meant to be together, forever.

Mt. Pulag in Kabayan, Benguet is the couple's favorite place. As a mountaineer, Erick has already climbed this majestic mountain eight times. On the other hand, Rocel is not that much into mountain climbing and this particular Mt. Pulag climb was her first overnight climb. Amidst difficulty and of course, the loving guide of Erick, Rocel managed to reach the top. 

 As per Erick : "What makes this mountain very memorable for both of us? We saw the Milky Way hours before our summit assault but more than that, I proposed to Rocel at the summit last June 9, 2013, the day after our second anniversary.

Did Rocel say yes? Well, they're be tying the knot next month. Congratulations Erick and Rocel!

  3. As I hurriedly open your new post link, I was delightfully surprised by the awesome photo of the couple bloggers. And what's even more exciting is to learn that they're tying the lifetime knot and spend the rest of their adventurous life forever.

    Congratulations to both of 'em. They both deserve each other as I can sense how loving Erick is to Rocel.

    God bless them both.

    1. Thanks Jay, I have known Erick for almost five years now and Rocel half of that. We always meet for a simple food trip around the metro or a quick jaunt outside. Such a good and fun couple.

    2. It's always nice when friendship formed in the blogging world goes beyond that and level up to a personal level.
