Hey you! Yes you, I can feel that you've been stressed the entire week. Did I guess it right? Well i t's up to you say.
From time to time, we are in need to have space and time to escape from the things that strains us. But where should we go? Nature, it was calling us all the time but we refuse to listen because we are too caught up by our jobs, business and studies. We all need to put our feet up and spoil ourselves to get rid of stress, worry, anxiety, pressures, agony and all that raises negativity. And that's exactly what I did last Saturday, June 28, 2025.
It was all sunny, a perfect day to stroll around. My best friends and I decided to meet because it's been months since the last time we saw each other, we gathered in the nearest cafe in town. We ordered cheese burger, cheese and barbecue fries and fruit soda. The memories we share is life, but food is lifer....... lol. Who else would agree? That get-together will not be perfect without food and a little bit of gossip lolz. You read that right, gossip, mens do gossip to..... hahaha. It was fun seeing each other again, talking about the good old days and remembering those days that leaves our stomach in pain for laughing out loud.
After filling our stomachs, we travel a few kilometers away from the cafe to fill our soul with peace and relaxation. We went at the one of the famous tourist spots of Tabogon, Cebu, Philippines, the name of the place was Managase Mountain View, also know as Trans Central Managase (TCM). The place was all neat and clean, you can really ensure safety because they installed a firm road barrier. The barrangay officials (district officials) put up a public Wi-Fi at the place with the intentions of giving the tourist / visitor an unlimited connection, they even set up attractive street lights during night time, so that the drivers can see the people stopping by to avoid possible accidents.
It was the perfect place to breathe fresh air and think about life for a moment while eating some of the munchies we brought with us. The breeze, the scenery and the atmosphere will leave you breathless in the scenic glimpse of the true wonder of nature and it'll surely give you a sense of tranquility. You can literally say to yourself "why is this place not in my door step?" but speeches at some point.
Which made me wonder why people keep on destroying the beauty of the natural world that the creator entrusted us, throwing away our trashes that'll leave the bodies of water in a polluted state, deforestation and green house gas emissions. We are so blessed to have eyes to see and heart to feel, yet we are blind and insensitive to what's around us. We have taken it for granted and abused the privilege given to us, we are not the only ones who needs to thrive, but the ecosystem as well. We should protect it in return of the favor that the Creator has given to us.
We might not have all the time in the world, but the memories, the laughter, the moments and the misunderstandings that my best friends and I share is enough, it will always be with us forever. Wonder why I include misunderstandings? It's because no one perfect, we all get into a situation where we are tested if we really value friendship over pride.
And that's it for today, I hope that you find time to indulge yourself and wind down for a bit. Have a nice day my dear gorgeous Hivers. Cheerio!
