Tagaytay Sunset




Do I still need words to tell you how splendid the sunset is?

There was a downpour the whole afternoon in Tagaytay that Saturday. The rain was so hard that it got us stranded for like an hour in that nice Bali Seafood resto where we had our lunch. I didn't think that the sun would come out again. But it did and that lifted my spirits.

We climbed up the winding road hoping to wander aimlessly in that park at the top of the mountain. But unfortunately they closed it down an hour early because of the bad weather. But I was so amazed to see a lot of people there still lingering by the area contented and happy enough to marvel at the beauty of the sunset. And I thought to myself, indeed the Pinoys are really "mabababaw" because we easily find pleasures in the simplest of things. But then I realized that it takes a deeper presence and awareness to be able to admire an everyday thing like a sunset.
