The Farm in Batangas

Theme... relax, unwind, loosen up, de-stress, slow down, hang loose, take it easy.
This place is called the Farm located in San Benito Batangas, Philippines. It's actually a health Spa. The place offers programs for wellness and health and mainly to entice the people from the metropolitan area to adhere to health programs that the resort offers and find the relaxing benefits of being in close proximity to nature. I stayed in this place for about a night. Honestly, i think it was not my cup of tea. I guess coming here alone was the problem it gives a complete different vibe, their is no one to talk to, yes, it's understandable that this is not a social place, hence, the point of relaxation as its very meaning. So no complains in that department, i stop here...
The food is geared towards eating healthy. I mean not just basic salad but bland health food. I mean the point of eating healthy is to live longer and maybe early prevention of certain diseases that may be aggravated by the unhealthy food that normal people eat, although, most of the diseases are determined by genetics or maybe some pathogens (I do not know why i have to add that). Anyway, health food feels like cutting my life short, It's not satisfying even if i kept on thinking "eat this and you get five more years added to your life, and there in my mind screaming pizza"). I just want to be fair that the idea is great in this place. The healthy living is of utmost importance and should be considered early on in life. So that we can live healthy on our old age though that will deprived the doctors of their trip to Europe it's not a bad option. The place, let me tell you is amazing completely serene and calm. And as Bjork said: Oh so quiet. I am surprised by the rarity of such peaceful place. The silence is a bit exhausting every kind of sound that may manifest from afar i have to decipher. I was trying to understand where and what that particular sound was. Is it a bear?By night time meaning exactly sundown, i have to eat and rest immediately. No T.V. , No WiFi, No Xbox, No Movie, No PC. I was trying to extricate myself from the technology- dependent world at least for a day and i still cannot make it through the night, I was so restless that i have to call all the people I know and some people that i do not even consider talking. I felt horrified that whilst i was there I am thinking about my precious MacBook, the love of my life. So much more for my nature tripping a complete disaster, i may say. It might be that, its not so natural for me. Everything is so set and orderly. The position of the palm trees are uniquely lined and there are pathway and directions to pin point your location and to guide you on certain places that you wish to go. There's a path! i can never be lost in the jungle and be rescued after five months and be interviewed by Larry.
The garden is a huge expanse of beautiful scenery. I hardly see any people, just a few ones that happened to walk on my path but we pretend not to see each other. I am craving more for the uncertainty. The adventure i very much seek. At the end of the day, i surmised it's really just the lack of caffeine.

My conclusion, it's a wonderful place.. it promotes a healthy way of life that one must commit to and one must enjoy whole-heartedly. When you leave the resort you must be refreshed and rejuvenated and must take with you a feeling of a new improve you.

Back in the capital of Philippines, chaos was emerging, the air smells different, i can't see any surface just huge density of people floating. Every piece of land is occupied. The clogged roads, the unbearable traffic and the noise generates enough decibel to be deaf. And where are the trees? Ah.. replace by towering concrete.
I started to miss the farm but i am glad to get my double espresso.
