Scenic Friday

Holy Friday, April 22, 2011 when my friends, sister and my cousins are ready to go on our journey to the white cross. I woke up at 5:30 in the morning because I was thrilled to go to the top of the mountain for the first time for the reason that I am very curious what would it be look like or what experience would I encounter in this day and when I was in elementary days this have been a curiosity to me because every holy week, people would go there for sacrifices & different reasons.

At 7:00 am when all of us are set and ready to go, we start walking... since most of us are first timer, we don't know really how long would it take. It was a beautiful sunny day with so much talking and laughing as we try reaching the mountain, it was kind of not so easy to be climbing the mountain if you get lost and use the wrong way, so it was sort of adventurous without any equipments for climbing but our bare hands.

We didn't feel tired as we go along and even if we are perspiring because of too much heat and struggling climbing some damp land and holding/helping each other to reach the peak but everytime we look what's down the hill, we are so much delighted of the scenic nature and its so worth it to hit the highest point of the mountain and feeling overjoyed as you see the beauty of nature. It took us 1 hour and 5 minutes to be on top of the mountain and there are lots of people who were there and had overnight on that peak, so we find a place where we can sit and just look downhill. We are very noisy when we got there, because we had lost track, so it took us long to get there but we were happy of the experience. So, after finding a place where we can have a look at the beautiful nature piece of art, we just stare at it silently and was so proud to watch God's art.

It was one of great Holy week experience watching the beautiful view of nature and reaching the big white cross at the peak of the mountain. I know people and my companions have had fun and so am I.
