Datu Lipus Makapandong is actually one of the resort that could be seen in our hometown. This resort was located nearly at the foot of Mt. Diwata, the famous mountain in our place. It is my favorite escapade because the pool was supplied with fresh water from the mountain which was very clear and cold. Aside from that, the resort charged us cheaper entrance fee so we could afford to enjoy in the place as often as we liked. Unfortunately the resort is quiet a distant away from the town but as for me and my friends , it added more exciting to the adventure.
Before going to the place, I used to planned what to brought including my shorts, T-shirts and some personal things then followed by planning the budget that would be consumed in there. Each of us was assigned who would brought the rice, viand and drinks and after that we also set-up the time.
The following day when things were all ready, we took a rode on a motorcycle. Along the way, we could saw the tall trees on both sides of the roads including wild flowers and animals tamed by man. We also felt the roughness and steepness going to the place. As we approached the resort, we could felt the fresh air and the cold weather underneath the heat of the sun. Then, until we all ready arrived we could saw families having their bonding moment and some of our friends outside.
While there, we rented a cottage good for all of us and paid the entrance fee. We arranged the food on the table while others prepared the meat that would be cooked. We talked about things in life and sometimes cracked jokes while waiting for the food to cooked. When the food was ready all of us prayed and then enjoyed the food on the table.
When we were done eating, of course we then jumped into the pool and played different water games. Someone would lead the game that everyone of us could participate. After a tiresome activities, we sat on the edge of the pool then started to sing a song. Finally, before leaving the place we took pictures which would be a sort of remembrance. We packed up the things and checked them one by one. We walked as a group until we arrived at the highway then that’s the time we took our way going to each of our homes .
I could actually imagine myself in your place, doing this kind of stuffs with a whole bunch of friends. I always love the bonding moments with friends, especially during playtime; playing like we were still kids and we had to laugh at each other.
ReplyDeleteNot to mention on taking pictures, which is my most favorite part ;well, that's because I have this mental attitude that i could easily forget moments. But because of this pictures it reminds me of those times I had .
I hope someday I could be with you visiting that resort :)
