Memories amid natures abundant.

In accordance to Angie Weiland Crosby,"Nature is the purest portal to inner peace".

Before the month of June ends, my friends and I went to a resort that was 12 kilometers away from our house, the Buro-Buro spring resort. The spring resort is located at Sitio Campuestuhan, Brgy. Cabatangan, Talisay City, Negros Occidental, Philippines, at the bottom of the Campuestuhan Highland Resort.

It was a good experience for us in going to this kind of place, it wasn't really that expensive. They offer a free entrance, only the cottages/nipa hut and parking lot has a fee. In which, the cottages/nipa hut costs PHP 250-300 and the parking lot for cars is only PHP 50 and for the motorcycle is PHP 10. The staffs there has a best service, and they accompany their customers very well. They only want is that,to not destroy any plants in the surroundings, and of course to clean the area before leaving the spring resort. It was heart melting that everyone cares for the environment.

When we arrive at the spring at exactly 1:30 PM, we are really amazed of the crystal clear water that awaits us. We tried to step at the spring to check the water, but because of the cold weather, the water also gets cold and we decided to go back to our cottage/nipa hut and started to fix the things we brought. Actually, we brought cooked rice, chicken adobo, and a pork that we are going to grill. When we started grilling the pork, we talked about the place, wherein it is really relaxing even though the weather is not really good for the reason that the sky is getting dark. Despite of the weather, we eventually enjoyed the time that we are at the resort.

After we ate our lunch, we decided to swim at the spring. We endured the coldness of the water for the reason that, I told my friends that they should teach me on how to swim because I do not know how. The funny happening is that, when I am about to swim, I am drowning myself into the water, but I am just lucky to have those friends of mine, they teach me on what to do in order for me to float in the water, and they also teach me the proper way of breathing when I am in the water. One of my friend that is taking a Bachelor of Secondary Education major in Physical Education, taught me on how to swim back stroke, front crawl, and side stroke, but because of a little time that we have, I am not able to perfect the different styles of swimming, but at least I have now the knowledge on how to swim.

After we practice swimming, we go back to our other friends and talk everything just as, how our life in college, how we survive everyday. We talk about like that it is because we are far from each other, it's our first outing again after not seeing each other for a very long time, for the reason that each of us is busy for our responsibility in our studies, especially we are now in college, that is why we seize the moment that we are together. We laugh about the jokes that my other friend is talking, we got sad about our other friend situation, we got shocked about the thing that we just knew. All the happenings in our life that we've shared together is one of the best happening that we had while we are at the resort that is very relaxing.

They said if you want to be at the place that you won't feel tired, just go to the place that you will feel at peace. This is one of the reason why my friends and I went to spring resort, to find peace and to relax ourselves after the school year ends.

We all know that sometimes life is really draining us, but we need to defend ourselves to such things that makes us sad. Sometimes, hanging out with friends is a good thing, the pain that you felt and the problems that you have would be vanish that you will only feel is the happiness. I am thankful that I have a circle of friends that won't judge me for who I am and would understand my situation in life, the friends that even how many years you won't see each other the bond is still there. They never know that they are healing me when I'm with them, that is why I really enjoyed being with them, always. Find a good place that will heal you, and surround yourself with people who cares, and would be there for you when no one else was.

Reconnect with the nature, it would help you grow your own roots and would assist you to bloom like a beautiful individual as you are, just as a beautiful flower that blooms every spring. Always seek for a place that you can have your peace.
