While most of our grand adventures left us enchanted, in love, and amazed, others, no matter how simple and small they are, unexpectedly leave imprints of happiness in our hearts just like how I came across the river pool of Lusaran.
Have you ever stumbled upon a hidden gem that instantly lifted your spirits and filled you with happiness and contentment in nature's wonder and life's simplicity? I recently had such an experience when I discovered Lusaran, a small river pool tucked away in the lush vegetation of Catmon. This serene oasis, known only to the locals, radiates a unique charm that's sure to put a smile on one's face. Join me as I recount my delightful adventure to Lusaran, a place where happiness flows as freely as the crystal-clear water.
Let's go! Taraaaaa!
Discovering the Small Haven of Lusaran
As I set out on my journey to explore Catmon's natural wonders, I was left in awe with the Linaw Spring and the hidden Busay Waterfall, little did I expect that I was about to uncover a treasure (a small one) yet trove of happiness, the Lusaran pool.
The path to Lusaran was a winding one and downhill. One must watch his/her steps going down. However steep the path was, I was not concerned at all, instead, I was amazed by the lush vegetation that surrounded the whole place. They seemed to whisper secrets of the hidden paradise ahead. My anticipation grew with each step I took going down.
On my way down, not only did I see the green surroundings going down to the river, but I also encountered another source of water. It's amazing how this water naturally spurts out from anywhere. I had a similar experience when I visited Busay Waterfall. Maybe this part of Catmon has a reservoir of spring water underneath the ground.
The place is untouched and feels like a sanctuary!
The fairies' laughter?
As I approached the river, I heard the echoing laughter of a group of people filling the otherwise tranquil surroundings. Their joyful voices seamlessly merged with the gentle murmur of the babbling river. The sound heightened my anticipation to discover the source of this merriment. Could it be fairies laughing by the river?😱 Couldn't wait to see it!
Not fairies but Poseidon's sons!
As I drew nearer to the river, I saw the sight of young men bare-chested who were immersed in conversation. They were gathered in a circle. They appeared engrossed in lively conversation, punctuating their discussions with hearty laughter. So the laughter I heard a while ago was not from the fairies but by these sons of Poseidon!
It almost seemed as if they considered this serene paradise their own, a secluded haven for their gatherings and discourse. with some lively and interesting topics, women I guess.
Their faces lit up with surprise as they noticed my presence and my companion and they greeted me warmly. Their camaraderie was palpable. I couldn't help but admire the genuine happiness radiating from them within this humble setting. The contentment on their faces was unmistakable, proof of their deep connection with nature specifically the river pool of Lusaran.
Lusaran, the hidden, happy paradise.
Upon reaching the river, I was greeted by a sight of sexy men that instantly warmed my heart. A pristine river pool glistened under the sun's gentle caress, and the sound of flowing water filled the air.
The atmosphere was alive with the joyous laughter of the young men. When I was in front of the pool, I noticed that they were bringing their drinks with them. I think they are planning to have a pool party. Hehe.
Refreshing Escape
I sat on the rock and lingered my eyes on the beauty of nature before my eyes. It's not that big in size but I am sure that the pool is more than enough to give a satisfying dip to anyone. I couldn't resist the allure of the crystal-clear and lightly emerald-green water any longer!
I dipped my hands in the pool and felt the sensation of the cool water embracing my skin which was pure bliss. It was just so refreshing. Moreover, the natural surroundings, with vibrant greenery, the gentle rustling of leaves, and the hearty laughter of the locals provided the perfect backdrop for my happy escape.
I lingered there for a while, allowing the enchanting beauty of this secluded and joyous spot to fill my soul. I noticed that the young men grew somewhat reserved in their conversation, aware that I could hear them. Sensing their desire for privacy, I politely excused myself to let them relish their precious haven of happiness.
My discovery of Lusaran was a reminder of the simple joys that life has to offer. It's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life, but sometimes, all it takes is stumbling upon a hidden gem like Lusaran to rejuvenate the soul and see how this simple and small paradise brings joy to others.
This charming Lusaran, with its lush vegetation, friendly and warm locals, and refreshing waters, left an indelible mark on my happy and contented personality. I also encourage you to seek out your own hidden gems and let the beauty of the world fill you with joy and other people's joy and energy, just as Lusaran did for me. Happy exploring!
That's it for my Lusaran adventure. Thank you so much for reading. I hope you enjoyed it. I wish you all safe and well always.
