Due, to a friend of mine misjudging the tide, and a storm that hit the area a week before, me and my buddies end up slogging through the Philippine jungle for several hours. trying to look for our car that was less than a kilometer away. Going off trail wasn't exactly our brightest idea, especially since the person who knew the area best decided to stay behind on the beach for some privacy with his girlfriend. Long story short after hours of going through thick foliage, incredibly thin thorns, a rather colorful spider, and several millipedes we managed to reach a semblance of civilization by the incredibly sophisticated art of yelling and following the replies.

My charming wit and personality. In all seriousness though my knowledge of Philippine culture, tidbits and advice on places I've been too before, and a friend who in, my humble opinion is a great listener.
