Mountainside part of the town gives so much good feeling. The light feeling surrounds with fascinating views from nature. That different feeling being in the mountain, indeed unexplainable. I'm not sure what kind of feeling but as far as I know it's exhilarating. No words to state and no voice to come out. It's just that and that. Probably it's like that because from the very beginning nature is where we find ourselves comfortable.
Exhausted and bored from recent days. The weather was so hot and annoying. When I went outside there were no friends to glimpse. I was just thinking of having someone to kill time while there's nothing to do. But couldn't find one and it couldn't be helped. Staying in a place alone and just to entertain me with whatever comes to mind. Although I felt tired of it and that's why I decided.
I joined my friends in getting coconut fruit to the mountainside of the town. It was passable by vehicles but not all roads were concreted. It's rough but being flattened that it's not hard to pass. Fortunately, my friends had a single motorcycle each. It's just 6 of us and it's perfect because I have friends who owned one motorcycle each.
I captured the surroundings while I rode on a motorcycle. I was amazed by the plants and vegetables that were planted by the locals. I didn't have the chance to capture a better shot. We were in the inclined part of the road that it's hard to stop.
This rice field was made like rice terraces from Baguio. That rice fields like numbers of stairs from the bottom to the top? This was made the same to save the amount of land. I didn't have a great photo because it's a bit far and my phone camera couldn't reach it.
We arrived at the place we desired.
Of course, we were here because of the coconut fruits.
One of my friends has a relative here. A brother of his mother and the land that we visited to get fruits. They owned it. He said the land was not divided yet so in terms of who can benefit. It would be set and would be in some agreement. Although the brother of his mother was the one who has more privilege. He was the one who was looking at the land and taking care of it. But asking for the numbers of coconut fruits would not be harmed to a coconut. They gave us and he seemed nice too.
My friend was climbing a tree.
But not the one who owned the land.
This post was not your typical travel. This place was not a tourist spot that you may want to see something beautiful. But what's beautiful here was the feeling of being in this place. I posted it here since it's an adventure and maybe in the future. You will love to visit places on the mountainside of the Macrohon. There's a lot here and not so crowded maybe you like to visit. The idea here is to show how much fun I experienced being in this place with friends.
By the way, that friend in the photos who were climbing the tree. He was always the one who climbed the coconut tree. We couldn't do that so if he wouldn't come. No getting coconut fruit would happen. lol
But he was lucky this time because the brother of my friend was the one who climbed. He was good at climbing coconut tree because it's one of his jobs as well. In our place, we climbed a coconut tree to get the fruits. Unlike other regions or provinces that they used tall materials in getting the fruits.
Checking the fruit if it's perfect for making a dessert.
Started getting the flesh of coconut fruit.
We were planning days ago to get fruits to eat. The problem was, a near place to be. This place was a bit far and you know it's in the mountainside. It became farther because of the rough road. The motorcycle couldn't drive at a fast speed. Also, that time when we're planning, we're lacking a motorcycle to use in carrying many persons to come along.

My friend removed the cover of the coconut shell to make it easier to carry
By the way, maybe you just want to know. There's no internet in this place. Even a signal to a phone network to call someone wasn't here. You will have nothing to worry about anything here because it's unreachable with social media. You will enjoy it here by pure human and not a virtual natural. Everything is real here.
This is how it looks like the flesh of a coconut fruit
Buko salad was the named of the finished product
Buko salad is very popular in our country Philippines. If you want to eat like this type of food in the Cities. It's expensive and there's no assurance that the fruit would be fresh. Unlike in the province, we could just ask for it. Although we can't do that all the time because the coconut fruit will be the one to provide coconut oil. This type of oil is the one commonly used in our country. The types of fruit to extract oil is different from the fruit that we had in making it as a dessert. I had a post of for some time ago their differences.
Anyway, after getting enough fruits. We decided to go home right away to eat it. We added some materials to make the coconut fruit to be delicious. That's my adventure ended.
