I was tricked into making a treacherous hike to this godforsaken (almost secret) place by the photographer.  Photo credit: Daniel Olsen

I was pushed far beyond my physical limits and it&#8217;s proven to me once again, that I can quite literally make it through anything.  It has also done wonders for my physical being and I find [...]]]></description>

Going up, because I was so sick, my heart was pounding like crazy most of the way. The last 2km of the 6km trek to the hostel was very difficult. I could hardly move, and after five steps, I had to stop each time. Even when I could [...]]]></description>

I decided to challenge myself by not hiring a porter and carrying my own bag up. Halfway through, I started feeling sick and paid [...]]]></description>

Only thing I can&#8217;t really do is post my flickr pictures on my blog via the BlackBerry browser because of the way the mobile flickr page is rendered, and I can&#8217;t get the code of the picture to [...]]]></description>

I can&#8217;t believe I&#8217;m going on vacation, even though a mentally enduring one. I can&#8217;t believe, either, that I&#8217;m actually going to climb a mountain!

		<description><![CDATA[What I really like about having friends in media production is &#8211; despite the fact that our schedules are so fluid and irregular, we are super efficient in tight time constraints.
Last night, my fellow producer/director friend, Kim, and I booked ourselves on a trip to climb Mt Kinabalu.  We talked about it a few [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I arrived back from Bali last night, to a daughter who is down with a fever. OK, maybe I shouldn&#8217;t use the word &#8216;down&#8217; because she&#8217;s still hopping around like a bunny and zipping around like Speedy Gonzales.  How wonderful it is to be a kid.  
This is my first time in Bali [...]]]></description>
