     At this moment, we are here at a cave near Twelfth District to feature it on my travel magazine.

    Recently, I was also planning to write a book about my journey here in American Region. It might be entitled as My Travel Diary.

    Maybe next time.

    At first, I am planning to go here alone, but Nathan, Andrei and Eldon decided to join with me. Andrei said that he wanted to relax themselves by trying something adventurous.

    "Are you sure we're going inside of that cave?" asked Eldon

    "Why Mr. Alejandro? Are you afraid of going in dark places?" asked Nathan

    "Of course not!" said Eldon

     They are the best of bests friends that I've ever seen. They are obviously close to each other.

    "Then why are you complaining?" asked Andrei

    "I'm not complaining! I'm just asking!" said Eldon

    "Really?" asked Nathan playfully

     "Then why don't we go inside, so that you can shut your mouth?" challenged Eldon

     "Sure! Why not?" said Andrei bravely.

      "This is going to be crazy" I said.

      My camera is always ready. I am also ready to go inside, and my flashlight is already turned on.

     "So, come on?" I asked

     "Let's go humans!" said Nathan

     We enter the cave. The entrance are wide, so we don't need to sacrifice our lives entering small entrances.

     "What if there's a monster here? Or creepy creatures? What are we gonna do?" asked Eldon

     "Are you still a kid? Do you still believe in monsters? Plus, you, who work on PAGASA, haven't discovered any living creatures here except for plants and microorganisms. Then, why are you afraid of encountering creepy creatures?" said Andrei

     "I'm sorry, okay?" said Eldon

     "Stop that. Let's proceed" said Nathan

     We continue walking in the cave. We saw too many stalactites and stalagmites around.

     I took a picture of each of it.

     We reached the middle part of the cave. It has a pool here where you can swim in.

     "So, are we going to swim in there?" asked Andrei

    "Sure! Why not?" said Andrei

    "On my research, that's not too deep, so we can swim there" I said

    "Then what are we waiting for?" said Nathan

    Suddenly, we hear a splash of water from behind. We look behind and saw Eldon just dived.

    "What are you looking at?" asked Eldon

    "You changed your clothes that quick?" asked Nathan

    "Why?" asked Eldon

    "Nothing" replied Nathan

    Good thing we brought extra clothes. I took a photo of the pool.

    "The water is quite colder here" said Eldon

    Nathan and Andrei also dived into the water.

    "Hey!" said Eldon

    "Why?" asked Andrei

    "You didn't inform me that you were going to dive" said Eldon

    "We're sorry" said Andrei

    The three are swimming happily. I guess I have to take a photo of them, and put this on my travel magazine, so that I can show people how good friends they are.

    Since I met them personally, I learned so many things from them. I learned that friendship is one of the most beautiful things in the world. Without friendship, life is just black and white.

    "Hey Brix! Come and join us!" said Eldon

    "Yeah. Go change your clothes" said Nathan

    "You're our friend now. You're not different for us, so come here and join us" said Andrei

    I smiled. I fixed my things and changed my clothes.

    Then, I dived and swim. We have fun swimming and playing on the cold water. Feels like we're kids again.

    After having fun, we continue walking in the cave until we reach the other side of it.

   "Hey! I think that's the exit" said Eldon while pointing the wide opening of the cave.

    "Let's go" I said.

    We walked and reached the exit. We exit the cave and see the beautiful sea shore of American region.

    "I think we're here near Seventeenth District" I said while looking at my mobile watch.

    "Searching for where we are?" asked Nathan

    "Yeah" I answered.

   I took a picture of the shore. The sands are white and the water is blue.

  "Gonna swim again?" asked Nathan

  "Let's just relax. I brought a picnic blanket, and I'm going to lay here" said Andrei

  "No fair! You should share" said Eldon

  "Wait. Why don't we try camping here?" suggested Nathan

   "That's good" said Andrei

   "Good thing I brought a tent" said Nathan

   "Let's share with my tent, Eldon. Nathan and Andrei would be sharing in one tent, too" I said

   "That's pretty fun" said Eldon

   "This camp is gonna be so cool" said Nathan

    I took a picture of our camp. There's no one around, so we're the only people here. The place is quiet, and the waves of water are just the only thing we hear.

   We ate our dinner and watch the sunset.

    I also took a picture of it.

   "It's beautiful!" said Eldon
