I'm @jadeneywrites but you can call me ken instead, went to a place where here in Tabogon it also a famous place here cause it called a pantalan,Pantalan where it has been abandoned so many years. I don’t know the reason why, and I didn't here anything about it's past. But this place is nice for traveling with friends.
We went there to hang out with my friends, but we only stayed for a short while because we just wanted to swim in the sea. We just buy a food good for us. We go there chilling, laughing, and everything that makes us happy we did in a good way.
Even though the Pantalan looks old and quiet, it gave us the kind of peace that we needed. The sound of the waves crashing, the salty breeze touching our faces, and the wide view of the ocean made us feel free for a while. It’s like the world slowed down and we just enjoyed the moment together. We took some pictures, shared stories, and made memories that we will always remember.
Before we went home, we sat down for a bit, watching the sunset slowly fade into the horizon. I missed to take a picture of the sunset because my phone are out of battery. It was simple, but it felt special because I was with people who matter to me. Sometimes, it’s not really about the place it’s about the moments and the people you share it with.
For me the Pantalan here in Tabogon is the best cause the water are clean and so deep, that’s why the color of the water reflect the color of the sky, the color blue. When you look at it, it feels so calming, like the sea and the sky are one. The waves may look strong sometimes, but they carry a kind of peace that makes you forget your problems even for a short time.
Swimming here feels different because the water is fresh and cool, and every time we dive, it feels like the sea is embracing us. The surroundings may look a bit abandoned, but for me that’s what makes it special like a hidden place waiting for people to enjoy it again. Standing at the edge of the Pantalan, watching the endless horizon, makes me realize how beautiful and simple life can be when you’re close to nature.
