One Saturday morning, I found myself wondering and asking, "What is something in the urban that I never knew before?" As an avid fan of Nature, I always dream of being with it but due to some certainties in life, I lack time, and of course, money.
I let myself be dragged to the city by a clumsy feet. To the malls, we went. Oh, great! What a wonderful idea to be with 'Nature' in the mall! After eating, shopping (with the eyes), we got tired and bored. Well, I realized, mall's really not for an adventurous heart.
These clumsy feet dragged me to another place in the city. Closer to Nature, yes it is! We walked and talked, and laughed. I am happy. Cool wind, smell of grass, river...
As the sun prepares to set, we're walking on the riverside when a boat came and dropped few passengers off. They are teenagers, all girls, college students, as I perceived. I asked one girl about the ride. "It's fun!" Okay, then. I thought. I was thinking of getting myself out of the picture and just satisfy myself with good old books when the clumsy feet jumped out and ask the boat man how much would it cost for a ride back to the 'town proper. 2O PESOS per person. Okay, okay, let's get out of here, I was about to say.
I just found myself inside the boat, sitting, watching, waiting for what will happen next.
As the boat started to move against the strong current of the water, the adventures I had with the sea came rushing to my mind. The wind, the water, Nature!
