Let me state at least three realities that should have no contentions whatsoever; I am Robert Stephen Co a student of section III-8, Bachelor in Social Science Education, and I am going to tell a story in this fifth week journal about a travel I had last Sunday at Tagaytay, Cavite with my relatives; and about how much I stick to some of philosophical principles of Realism.

Let me start small by sharing what happened last Sunday. Our relatives have invited us to go on a road trip to Tagaytay, Cavite, where we visited People's Park in the Sky and went to a lot of places to eat, take pictures, get souvenirs, and sometimes chat on things that were of interest.

However, I am not the talkative type when it comes to my relatives, I always shy from discussions, and actually even enjoys travelling alone because for me, reflecting on nature, society, on life and the universe while seeing the beautiful landscapes, urban or natural, fascinate me because of the never-ending amount of information and new things that I have yet to understand and discover.

That is why on the road during travel, with or without companions, I frequently look at the surroundings, appreciate the geographical locations, peer through roads or unknown depths and distances that I am curious about, think of shortcuts, exciting and unique ways of getting through travelling, and in all while looking at the window of the vehicle.

And when I am on the place or the destination itself, I take my time to walk alone and roam around, look at people and the way they interact with each other, what is high, what is low, what things can I do, and what places permits me to go.
