In Seventh Heaven

Look at the surroundings, look at those beautiful plants, look at the view. Aren’t they awesome? This is the beauty that Sarangani Highlands brings. It is a restaurant located on top of a hill and overlooking the Sarangani Bay. This is where those Cacti and Bonsai were located. My niece took these pictures while some of us were still having our lunch.

That day was really memorable and every moment we spent on that place is still very clear to me, as in crystal clear. Hehe. Perhaps you might check out the place if you happen to visit Sarangani Province here in Mindanao, Philippines. You would love the place like we did, for sure. It is very calm, quiet and very relaxing. You get to breathe fresh air too coming from the bay. You would surely go back to the place from time to time once you’ve seen it, like us.

This Bonsai plant has the same location with those Cacti — still at this resto named Sarangani Highlands. Bonsai plants really fascinates me. We talked with the owner of the resto while having lunch and he said most of his Bonsai plants ages from 60 years up and mind you, they do cost much. I never thought they could cost that much. Just learned about it that day. He said he had actually spent over a million on his Bonsai plants alone. Gosh! That’s how he love plants. Well, he probably has a lot of millions that’s why he never had second thoughts on spending a million in plants. Wish i have a million too. Hehe. But anyway, i really admire his love for plants ’cause the area was really full of beautiful plants that would really leave visitors in awe.

I’ve always loved surprises. And just recently, i was bombarded with such. This friend of mine keeps on calling me surprisingly. I’ve always thought that my friend was out of state and would be busy with work. I had been sad since the time that i was told that we would probably won’t have communication for a few days just yet ’cause of the seminar that my friend is going to attend but much to my surprise, my friend doesn’t seem to be busy at all. Calls were pouring almost everyday. And whenever i learned that it’s already my friend on the other line, i would always end up laughing out of surprise. Well, that simply is happiness. What else? (“,)

Up to now, i still keep on reminiscing what transpired that day when my good friend paid me a visit. What happened the whole day is still very vivid to me and i still haven’t forgotten every detail from start to finish. It is such a memorable day so what else would you expect, right? Hehe. There were times that i would actually wished that i could turn back the clock and return to that day. Just a wishful thinking though, i know it is really far from possible. But anyway, i know i will see that friend of mine again soon and i know, it would be much happier this time. I can’t wait.

These plants caught my attention when we were in this resto located on a hilltop in our city. The place is actually around a 15 minute drive from the heart of the city. I love the place. It’s very relaxing and you feel like you’re only a step away to heaven. Hehe. Anyways, aside from the fresh air and, breath-taking scenery and the superb food, there are beautiful plants surrounding the entire place and it’s really good to look at. These cactuses are just some of them. There were also Bonsai plants but unfortunately, i wasn’t able to capture one on my cam. Maybe next time.
