Hello, Hivers!
How are you all? I hope life's treating you well.

Today, I would like to share you about our family gathering to celebrate my nanay's birthday. We chose to visit Maño, San Remigio, Cebu for a beach trip. Although there’s an entrance fee and charges for the cottages, it’s all worth it, especially since there were many of us. My aunt had already made reservations in advance, so when we arrived, everything was ready—our only task was to set up the food. It was also convenient for my aunt since their place is nearby.

This beach is our usual go-to spot for swimming because it’s clean, and the water is vast. We also like the staff there since they’re very approachable and accommodating.


Our Travel Experience

We started our journey by preparing our things and loading them onto a pickup truck, also known as a multicab. We took a shortcut, and the views along the way were breathtaking.

From this route, you can see mountains, trees, and lush greenery—everything was so soothing to the eyes. I sat in the back seat, where I could sit comfortably and enjoy the scenery. I couldn't stop shooting pictures since the scenery was so breathtaking.

However, throughout our drive, we discovered that one of the tires was deflated. Then unexpectedly, the tire burst while we were on the road because it was overinflated. We didn’t anticipate this problem, so my dad called his nephew to come and help us replace the tire.

We were determined to reach the beach since we had already prepared everything, and it would’ve been such a waste if we couldn’t continue. Everyone, including me, was so excited!


Making the Most of the Moment

While waiting for the new tire, I decided to make the most of the situation and capture some photos of the mountains. The place was so serene—surrounded by lush hills and fresh air. This experience reminded me to always look at the brighter side of things. Imagine, because of the delay, I got to enjoy the scenery and appreciate the beauty around me even more.

Aside from the mountains, I also took pictures of goats I saw nearby—because why not? Goats are fascinating animals! There were more goats further down the road, and I couldn’t help but admire their carefree nature.

As someone who truly loves nature, seeing these views and moments gives me an incredible sense of comfort. It’s like nature has this calming effect that soothes my soul.


A Little Help Along the Way

My uncle eventually arrived to check on us. He was worried because of the tire burst, but seeing that everything was under control put him at ease.

While waiting, I asked my friend to take some pictures of me with the beautiful view as the backdrop. I wanted to make the most of our time there, so I even took a close-up shot of myself.

On the Road Again

After an hour of waiting, the tire was replaced and YES we were ready to go. I was so excited to get to the beach that I could not sit still—my legs were jumping with anticipation. On the way, I took pictures of a school we passed by. If you’re familiar with this route, you’d recognize it when heading to Maño, San Remigio Beach.


That’s it for today’s blog, everyone!

Stay tuned for Part 2 of this adventure, where I’ll share about our time at the beach. I hope you’ll wait for it since this journey was too eventful to fit into just one post.

Hello! It's nice meeting you here! You have a nice day too @arieswilly

Yes thank you

Flat tire is very unfortunate. I hope I can travel with family soon!

Flat tires are a hassle, but part of the adventure! 😊 Hope you get to travel with your family soon—it’s such a special experience!

The green sceneries on the way is so breathtakingly beautiful. I'll enjoy a trip if that's the beauty I'll witness on the way. Sad that you got a flat tire. Yong time sana na inaayos yan would be spent in the beach no. You'll spent more time in there sana. Still, I'm sure y'all enjoy it pa din naman even with what happened. Ehe.

Yes, the green sceneries made the trip so enjoyable despite the flat tire! < 3

A simple tire mishap turned into a delightful pause, allowing you to soak in the serene beauty of nature on your way to Maño, San Remigio Beach—what a refreshing perspective!

That pause really let us soak in the beauty of nature.

What a beautiful way to turn an unexpected delay into a moment of appreciation for nature! The scenic views and your positive outlook made the journey as memorable as the destination. Looking forward to Part 2! 🌿✨
