XTRM Getting Started

Meet XTRM Couple, Raymond and Aime. XTRM means "eXcito Truimphus Recuso Mediocris" a latin phrase which means "to bring forth the triumph, is to refuse to be ordinary!, and that's our mission."

Though they're not yet married nor living together, joined by common likes and interests, spiced-up with opposite views in life, they're in a relationship since 2006 and always went out in any place they could go together. Raymond won't let Aime alone. Since then, they're inseparable (Raymond to Aime, haha). Last year 2011, one of their friends invited them to climb Mt. Batulao at Nasubu Batangas and the passion for mountain climbing started. Later, they joined T.E.T.R.A, their friends' adventure group in every climbing activity, explore different places and met new friends. 


Because of first time adventure experienced that year, Aime attempted to make several blogs with several names to log all of it, but she kept on changing it, she just don't like the titles and aura/concepts of those, haha and now did this new blog and telling to herself that hopefully this would be the last. As thrill gets more and more in every activity, desire to photography also came in to her. Though she's not a photographer nor studied formal photography class, as a hobbyist she tried to sharpen her own craft all by herself by browsing internet and experiment if she can do it nicely. As of now, she still do some self study to perfect it. "I don't want to be a perfect photographer, I just want to be happy." -Aime.


Since then Raymond, whom at the start carried all their packs and essentials during their climb or vacation, always support Aime in every way and made each adventure the easy way. Sometimes to budget their total spendings and for easier side tripings, he's the one driving all the way to their destination but sometimes they commute, depending on how far it is from our town. "Nothing is greater than mesmerizing en route scenery"-Raymond.

Now they were planning to do lot's of activities, every year, every month, every week and if possible everyday to earn memories as they aged. They decided to site they're previous voyages to encourage others to travel in simplest and in budgeted way together with your buddy/ies.

"Adventures did together, were memories bind relationship to last forever."--Aime Maranan
