Quezon Province is a melting pot of exquisite globe jotter paradise, a conflation of sightseer destinations and ethnic diversity that unquestionably convey the reasons why it has always been a favored province to visit in the Island of Luzon. Real and Infanta islands are part of the jewels of Quezon province. Located at the coast of town that is surrounded with cream sand that exposes significantly during low tide. These islands have diverse ecosystem and simply known for being a complete paradise for adventure and nature tripping lovers.

Conquering the shady and cozy under on the dominating mountain in the middle of the sound of the owl while appreciating the curvy route of is not a joke. My back suffered from a pain as it slowly made me feel numb. Nonetheless, we rode a van in a van on an estimated time of 10:00 pm and depart exactly 3:00 am of breaking dawn. The leaves were swinging in the rhythm of the whisper of the arctic wind as it blows in the surrounding. We were still on the verge of sleepiness that time, so we decided to take a rest inside the classic nipa hut surrounded by harmonic flowers that gave an oozy smell in the middle of the howling night. Waking up in the alarming sound of the usual sound of the hen outside the nipa made us realize that we were on a vacation escapade, to relax and to reflect. Added with the smell aromatic breakfast made by the grandmother of us. The original cocoa of Quezon province melted in a hot pot. The sweetness of the originality blasted in our tongue.      Moving on for our first bucket list, we headed to our destination by riding a tricycle  to conquer the path of  La Coronacion Beach Resort. It is located at Real, Quezon with a sparkling turquoise water and crystalizing sand that converge to the reef. As we stepped on the hidden paradise, the Filipino hospitality gave us a warmth welcome, the gigantic coconut trees gave cozy shade that embraced our tan skin. The breeze of the aquamarine persuaded us to swim in liberty, but we still managed to prepare things for a better enjoyment later.  Happiness plastered on my uncle’s face when he was walking towards us, on his right, he had a freshly caught pink salmon that was ready to be vanished that time. Partnered with stirred fresh vegetables as a classic side dish for fish for a reluctant lunch. For the climax of the first part of vacation, the calm water still persuaded us to swim and we nonchalantly accept that. I felt happiness when the cold water touched my tan skin placed the under then. Leaving my stress behind of all and think only fun and enjoyment while sunbathing under the blazing sun but also in the deep of the arctic water was the best feeling that time. There were various people enjoying the rendezvous. Some were building castles while were building happiness. There were also playing beach volleyball while some were playing with their family. We stayed up until dusk and headed back to home to regain energy for further enjoyment ahead.

For the next line on the bucket list. The Cawayan Falls at Real Quezon. Its famous name is Cawayan Falls but the original is MahanginHangin Falls. The waterfall is made up of six-layers cascades upstream and required climbing, scrambling, and bouldering to reach the top. The raging sound of water made our morning alive and boosted our confidence to swim to its rocky portion where the water falls in a smooth way as it gave relaxation intro our body. We were surrounded by dominating and gigantic mountain with chirping of various birds watching us as they were comfortably resting on the branch of tall trees. I made myself climb ate the top of last cascade urging to jump but my confidence slowly fade away and that made me walk back at the latter part of the falls. Partnering the raging cold water of falls, our family prepared their original dish of Squid and sour mango for our lunch. Wandering into the falls, we saw tourists enjoyingly relaxing into the fresh water of the nature. I made myself under the raging water of the 6^th cascade to meditate and feel relaxation up to my inner senses. After a while, I decided to get dry and be ready to head back home again for another lunch.

 Beside of nature tripping we also tried their food. First, the King Crab. The delicious sea creature that swims on the fathom part of the see is one of their known foods. The orange like and brownish color made a heavy tint of shade through the ray of the sun. After the process of cooking the King Crab. We did not waste time to taste it. The heaven-sent taste of its meat made me shiver in realms. It was my first time tasting a King Crab so I made myself sure to eat a plenty of it, but my mother put off limits and told me to be conscious on my health. Next is the Sinantolang meat and crab with prawn, I found the dish a little bit gross based on its appearance in grayish hue inside the casserole but then I believe that do not judge a book by its cover and I applied the principle on food. Goodness Gracious is what expression came to my mouth. The combination of sour taste of santol in a meat of crab and gigantic prawns with a touch of burning spice made our lunch table reached our desire of happiness. We ate like an elephant wanting to finish all the food and savoring the pleasure madness that we have felt. The food really tasted heaven in earth.

These experiences will always be treasured as part of my growing life. This escapade made me realize the wonders of nature that are needed to be taken care off, to have more paradise beneath the heaven and off the coast. Let’s have wander and explore the hidden paradise of Utopia.
