It was quite the audition process; very physical.

So long ago this all seemed. This was sometime in 2004 when I was auditioning for Spider-man. Unfortunately I didn't get the part. Not even a callback!

Seriously, I went with a few friends one Saturday afternoon to the Veterans Freedom Party grounds in Manila for some wall climbing and rappelling. This was during the early stages of my short-lived hobby that was mountaineering, when I was still in a seemingly perennial "Let's go!" state.

The gang. The guy in the green and black striped polo was our host. Forgot his name, though.

Now I wonder if that wall is still around.
