00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:16,100
Monday, June 25, 2019, together with three 
of my close friends from high school, we 
decided to hang out (spend some time together)

2
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:21,800
Unlike what other people would do, we chose 
to go mount climbing

3
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,400
Climber 1: For our trip, that we may reach 
our destination and come home safely, let 
us pray…

4
00:00:30,300 --> 00:00:31,900
All : Amen (Prayer concludes)

5
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,300
I was the only one who had had some climbing 
experience, hence it was not easy to convince 
them

6
00:00:39,100 --> 00:00:47,100
Climber 1: We need to arrive at Post Four 
by nightfall, otherwise we would have a hard 
time finding the campsite and building our 
tent

7
00:00:48,100 --> 00:00:54,200
And it gave me a bigger responsibility in 
making the preparations for our trip.

8
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:07,400
One of the things I love about climbing is 
the conversation which keeps us engaged during 
the trip

9
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,600
And by doing so, we learn more about each 
other

10
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:29,400
I am very lucky to have friends who are open 
to accept, listen to and communicate with 
one another about how we feel

11
00:01:29,500 --> 00:01:34,300
Climber 2: How much longer? / Climber 3: 
Why are we still not there yet?

12
00:01:35,900 --> 00:01:39,200
Climber 1: Bear with me, we’re nearly there

13
00:01:39,900 --> 00:01:49,500
Coming back to the essence of every journey, 
it is full of uncertainties. However, every 
step teaches us a lesson

14
00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:59,400
It teaches us to be patient, to know when 
to stop, and most importantly, to surrender 
our ego

15
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,000
Climber 2: I can’t do this anymore… I am 
so tired

16
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:11,600
This is why we must make a thorough planning

17
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Climber 1: OK, I have brought these walkie-talkies. 
I would like to ask you to go ahead with 
Andre to Post Four. Build the tent over there, 
and use this to communicate with us

18
00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:25,400
Climber 3: How does the connection work? 
/ Climber 1: Simple. Just switch it on. It 
will be connected right away

19
00:02:25,500 --> 00:02:30,800
Climber 3: What about the range? / Climber 
1: It can go pretty far, up to 10 kilometers 
/ Climber 3: Alright, we are leaving

20
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,900
Climber 2: Let’s go... / Climber 1: Are you 
sure? Do you feel OK?

21
00:02:58,100 --> 00:03:02,300
Climber 2: I am serious. I feel sorry for 
them / Climber 1: OK, let’s go

22
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:22,200
We eventually spent some quality time which 
I will always miss, amidst the mountain breeze 
and the warmth of our conversation

23
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:45,300
After everything that we have gone through, 
we discover the real essence and beauty of 
the journey

24
00:03:53,300 --> 00:04:00,000
Nature never stops revealing its beauty to 
anyone who walks towards it and brings him/herself 
into its midst...
