An Unplanned Expedition to Paradise

Good day hivers! Another travel adventure filled with so much joy alongside someone dear to my heart. It was a simple trip , but it was filled with so much fun. Being with someone who truly values and knows your worth is a big blessing. A person who's always there to help and support you in any way, and stayed even the hardest days of our lives. ![IMG_20250815_152913.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mariajasmin/AKDhEa33coZ7Hxxmkrsf5hFE4RdeRJkCUAJxdh7VShfc1Q9gAcYEd6fYFCvSffd.jpg) We used to make plans whenever we were going somewhere. But this time, all of this was sudden, it wasn't planned to go this far. We had only talked about going to a nearby place to relax and refresh our mind. But while he was driving, he suddenly suggested going to Tabuelan. I was shocked and was hesitant to agree. However, there was an excitement within me to visit the place again , until my phone rang, and it was my father. I had a chance to ask permission from him, and luckily, he agreed as long as we didn't stay there for too long. As we headed to our destination, the first thing we did was rush to the ocean. The silence covered the whole area , except for the rhythmic crashing of waves against the shore, and the cheerful chirping birds around. There were no other people , it was truly a peaceful spot. As we stood there, we felt an overwhelming sense of freedom, freeing us from all the burdens we had been carrying. ![IMG_20250815_153332.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mariajasmin/23ynNRz7XwXVHC7QhA3EEF6pr4YfmdfuXQ3NZX3T7m78Fri8NQ3g4gqCkdeU2khMbT3kp.jpg) ![IMG_20250815_153012.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mariajasmin/23u5ztdswt6HDn94tmNzmcr1trMzqw1kGeCD9D9hBm6efjkDCWuroQN3Ta4bEx6SsG2G4.jpg) It was so hot that we wanted to take a bath in the sea , but we couldn't because we didn't have anything else to bring or clothes to change into. So we just sat here in the small tree. It gave us shelter from this scorching sun. The leaves on the tree were few but enough to give us shelter, and a big root that we seated on. Trees really have many benefits. We can make a house, fire with its branches, get food to eat from its fruits, and many more. ![IMG_20250815_153043.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mariajasmin/23xVFEgxvURecGi2iFVeWWner8RyhSbAiG1XQWRsYpppiVFt4pjQmmtedo4Kcymqz5jr1.jpg) ![IMG_20250815_153102.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mariajasmin/23yJE6K8ubmQcetgLRFNyQT9gr72ZP3CZgcdf63PJuRaaNASRHDoH5Hj5BPYhA3Cy5vfg.jpg) I asked him to take pictures of me while I was sitting on these massive tree roots. They climb all the way up to the rocky area above, creating such a cool landscape. There are also big rocks, and the roots are truly impressive, winding their way up to the rocks. Above this is the soil where the coconut palm trees and lush greenery leaves are planted , making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy. ![IMG_20250815_153629.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mariajasmin/23wX1BidFdAuSLGhrYheV6u9GeVqUAZS3XiHMjoxH869ZHMNJ8J1sgiSEf2SET5dKT7Mh.jpg) ![IMG_20250815_153543.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mariajasmin/EpT3j4vivb61qESbyBZyNExmgVJFptqj8k1kTn6cTtHq4JT8icWeeu2zv7GtZqihPJa.jpg) The water became more beautiful and crystal-clear as the sun shone on it. It is so cool. It sparkles under a cloudy sky , its gentle waves reaching the shore. I could smell the salty water of the sea , carried on a gentle breeze. In the distance there were boats, and it's good because they create a lively and picturesque scene. It's a spot where life feels simple , connected to the sea and its rhythms. If you were given a chance to go there, you'll really enjoy it. It's great for those who love jumping from high rocks into the water . There's a cliff where people can stand when they want to jump. Since I don't know how to swim and I'm afraid of those kinds of activities , I thought the cliff would seem really high. But Niño said it was just the right height, and he did it many times. ![IMG_20250815_153802.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mariajasmin/24246EiEfChtxmcqkYguDKZ3J8ntC1yw8egnuLCZ5J1pZnjnZZYGabNR7wjGDhYLPepkH.jpg) ![IMG_20250815_153023.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mariajasmin/23xL17RCKJb5FvrUSG9dUsbn5n9aezwbrNWc27cNCbvcrZAfsKtSPJ7z9mjCXkU4WdNtX.jpg) We've also seen a hanging wheel on a tree which served as a swing. Niño looked adorable while having fun swinging on it. The inside was wet so he climbed up instead. He was even more excited about what he did and I just laughed. I wouldn't be surprised because he is also energetic and easy to make people laugh. We know that there are people that have strong charisma when it comes to making people laugh, even small things are made funny and can also bring happiness. And if you're someone who brings laughter to others, you're making a huge contribution to their happiness. This is very helpful. This is how simple our adventure in Tabuelan was. Yet, we enjoyed ourselves and made the most of the time. It proves that happiness doesn't require big preparations , the important thing is that we found happiness there. It's a reminder that sometimes, the most beautiful things in life are the simplest. It's about the connections we make, the memories we create , and the laughter we share, regardless of where we are.
