As of this writing, I lack:

~ a poncho/raincoat (I will have to turn my old stuff at home and find this wallet-sized raincoat giveaway from PAL, given to me by Allee)

~ a jacket (since, as of latest inventory, I only have really unsuitable ones like, 2 denim jackets, varisty-type jacket made of mylon, cotton and lining that's real heavy, a gym sweatshirt and a cashmere sweater)

~ a sleeping bag (I intend to buy this 'rolled pillow' I saw from Expressions, probably good for 3-5 uses to cushion my back)

~ a fisherman's cap/bonnet (I once tried a bonnet and looked good in it, but i'd really prefer something that will protect my ugly face somewhat)

~ long-sleeved shirts

~ a water bottle that will keep the water cool and i can suck on while walking

~ hiking shoes (argh, expensive)

~ watch (I can't exactly whip out my cellphone like I always do while traversing trails, ryt?)

~ running shoes

~ socks w/ toes (trip lang)

~ mini towels

~ trail food (I keep thinking chocolate, but if it will only melt, how can it satisfy me?)

~ feminine wipes

Suffice it to say that am also extremely agitated by not yet having everything, and anxious of whether up to where I can go until my legs give out on me, and worried on how many mosquito/insect bites i'd be getting for souvenir...

But this is a dream. And I may go broke, but at least i'd be fulfilling my dream.
