It was already eight in the morning when I woke up and stretched my sleepy muscles. Funny but true, my neighbor’s roosters serve as my day to day alarm clock. For a while, I remembered that I have an important thing to do, and it was to go to Mountain View Nature’ Park. Fortunately, we had no classes on that Valentine’s Day so we had the perfect timing to go to our destination. When I turned on my damn cell phone, I received four messages and sooner I realized that they were already waiting for me in our school campus. The “they” that I meant are Gian and Lorem whom are both my classmates. We decided to go to Mountain View because it is one of the many topics for our school’s website piece for the upcoming 2007 International CyberFair contest. Our group was assigned to make a good website that features that gladsome place.
After an hour and a half, I arrived at the rendezvous and saw their tired faces, and I know deep inside that they were waiting in vain. Unfortunately for them, I’m invulnerable to shame. First thing we did was to ride a Plaza housing-bound jeepney so we can ride a habal-habal vehicle going to Busay. For those who don’t know, Mountain View is situated at the topmost part of Barangay Busay.

When we arrived at the park, we observed that the place was so peaceful and very natural. The whole park is crowded with big old trees that make the place very cool. We had a good time roaming around the wide place even tough our tummies were already grumbling. We played in the seesaws, hanging bridges, monkey bars and in other playground things. Actually, I took thirty nice pictures of the different areas in Mountain View using my not-so-high-technology cell phone. I was so amazed with the park’s designs and well-furnished cottages that I almost forgot that it was already past eleven o’clock in my watch. And so, we did not waste our time and the three of us agreed to journey to the topmost part of the park where the giant cross of Jesus is located. As we were ascending to the summit, I felt the in tensing coolness of the place even though that day was very sunny. When we got there, we burned ten minutes of our time to reflect to God Almighty. After we calmly meditated, we had a little conversation for the planning of our web designs.
We had a really good time watching the magnificent view of Cebu. I felt that I was on top of the whole wide world. Unexpectedly, it was the very first time I felt that strange feeling, a feeling of true happiness. I felt it not just because of the magnificent park but also I had a peace of mind at that moment. While time passes by, I was on another world, a world of infinite enjoyment and excitement.
From that time on, I discovered that what really makes life worth living is to have a peace of mind and always be optimistic. I even remembered the famous term in the animation film The Lion King which is “hakuna matata” that means no worries for the rest of all your days.Indeed, it was time well spent on that special day of the hearts. As expected, my kin were sun burnt but that was nothing compared to what I just unpredictably experienced.
