The Groto near the Pergula

This used to be a very nice place. Lots of roses and ornamental plants around the groto and around the pergula. Lots of people would climb the mountain and pray the rosary and they’d also bring some flowers. This place is overlooking the city.

As the time passed, seems this place is forgotten already. Though the statue is still there but few people would come and pray. And since it’s a government property, there are armies around. But, I just don’t know right now, if they’re still there. I used to have lots of friends from there.

One Holy Thursday, all of my cousins (mother side) and I slept over at the ground. Since I’m the oldest, so I’m the one guarding them. Everybody was sleeping and snoring but I’m not. And also, one of my cousins stepped a poop nearby so it’s so stinky. Til there’s one personnel saw us on the ground using mats, he let us borrow one of their sleeping bags. That was so nice of him. Thanks to him. But I was not using either one of the sleeping bags because it’s smells like a man or something. Hehehe!

I will always cherish that moment wherein all of the cousins are together and one.

This is such a memorable place. It will leave a mark in my heart for life.
