A Quick Walk on Paradise

Recharging oneself after a very busy week could be of great help to gain the energy that had been lost. Relaxing and chilling for a moment with the beautiful creature of nature could soothe one's body and soul. Whether you believe me or not reconnecting with nature is the best no matter what it cost. Therefore, taking my time to be in this splendid place is one of the great strolls.

Way back then when we had our three days Tabogon District Roll-Out Seminar Workshop on Gender Fair Career Guidance Program, my co-teachers wanted to unwind after that day on the seminar. It's good that @elloquent one of the participants and my colleagues at the same time have her car which is why we can go wherever we want. Yeah, it's a relief when seeing new beautiful places within our area then.

The Venue of the Seminar...

Energizer mode just to awaken our sleepy heads.

This was the last day of the seminar and everybody was very excited to go home and take a rest. The participants were the grade 10 and grade 12 teachers together with the guidance teacher designated to each school. I was one of the resource speakers which is why it was draining on my part but it was a relief when the last day has come. I was busy preparing the certificates then.

At last, we had our certificates...

This is the most awaited time during the seminar it's because it means that the seminar has come to an end and we're ready to go home. Hooray, for this day! But our one way to unwind after this is to go to a place where we can enjoy and relax for a moment which is why we decided to visit one of the newest developed spots near our place and its name is El Paradisio, Nature's Retreat.

The Arrival of the Great Squad...

Before we came to this place we planned on what to say so that the guard will allow us to get inside without paying any centavos. This place is good for overnight camping, picnics with family and friends, and many more. We were thankful that our strategy of convincing them to get inside was effective which is why we're here for merely the sightseeing without getting a penny from our pocket.

The Pool Area...

It was amazing! First time to see something like this. On top of the mountain is the beautiful saltwater pool where the swimmers have a fascinating view that can be seen throughout.

Down there, it has tables and chairs wherein you can sit and eat at the same time enjoying the cool breeze coming from the ocean and trees.

It has also like this for those who wish to sunbathe under the heat of the sun while embracing the richness of how majestic this place is.

The aerial view says it all. There's a portion there wherein you can enjoy watching the turtle (turtle spotting). So fantastic this bird's eye view of the campsite.

They have the stone house there and unfortunately were able to take a photo of it. But I have this picture with the outside portion there. I don't know what they called this big thing beside me but it struck me the most. Good thing they provided the high chair there so it's possible for me to take a photo with it as if we're on the same level.

For those who wish to stay overnight at this place, there's nothing to worry about regarding where they will stay, or where to cook its because they have a good place for that here. One of them is this beautiful house built with a very unique design. As if I were in the other country.

On the ground floor, it has 3 bedrooms and upstairs it has like this. The ceiling has a rare design made up of the mat, the traditional hand-woven mat in the Philippines. Such a creative and resourceful idea.

Upon walking on this very wide area of the place these trees captured my eyes. I never went back home without any remembrance of it through taking a picture of course. This place reminds me of my travel abroad. I found a place that is a resemblance to this during our forest hiking with my foster mother. Unfortunately, I was not able to take pictures there. If I know that I will be on this platform during those times for sure moments like this will be captured all the way.

Our priceless smiles though that even any amount of money cannot suffice the happiness we felt. Our stressful week became the most energetic one when we found this one-of-a-kind place worthy of a visit. Hooray! To God be the Glory!

That's all for today's blog dear Hivers! Thank you so much for your time reading this. Until next time, see you around. Stay safe and God bless everyone.
