Hello there, my lovely Hiversss!! I hope you are all doing well today!!! I'm thrilled to share another place that we explored with my classmates and teachers. It is just near our classmate's house.
It was my first time coming here, and I was amazed at how big the tree was. It is called the Rubber Tree (Balete). During my childhood days, my grandma told us that any kind of big tree had supernatural beings or spirits living there. And I still believe in that belief. I still wondered if it would be scary here at night. But when I came here it felt so peaceful.
Going to the place was so quiet, as it was full of greens. My classmate took a picture of me on the way.
As we walked towards the rubber tree, I was in awe because it was my first time seeing this kind of tree. It looked ancient and had twisted roots. It felt like it had been here for more than an age.
This tree is essential because it serves as a shelter for animals like birds and insects. Even though it looks scary, but the locals in here collect water here for their laundry or even bathe in this place. It has many purposes in their lives and helps them in many ways. This tree is their source of water, and it is clean.
Standing under the Balete tree, I was amazed at how mysterious it was. It reminded me that nature is full of surprises, and it made me even more curious about big trees.
This place was well maintained. As there was no trash when we came here. There's also a sign saying" There is just a sack, and you should put the trash into it."
That’s it for today’s blog, my lovely Hivers!!! Would you like to visit a place like this?
Pretty same! I used to be scared of the tree because of those scary folk tales that I have heard when I was a kid, but now, everytime I see trees like that, I got super amazed that there are still some big trees existing. It's rare to see such trees if you're living in the city.
I used to feel the same way because of all the folk tales, but now, I just admire how majestic these trees are. It’s amazing to see such big trees still standing strong, especially since they’re so rare in cities. Nature never fails to amaze us.
that tree has such character but I can see why some may see it as scary
