"Better Late Than Never: My Unforgettable Start to 2025 at Alicia Panoramic Park"

Hey Hivers! ✨ I know, I know, it’s been a little quiet from me for almost two months now, but hey, better late than never, right? Life has been a whirlwind of events, but I’m finally back to share something that’s been on my heart since the start of this year.

I wanted to kick off 2025 with something truly unforgettable, and what better way to do that than by exploring The Alicia Panoramic Park in Alicia, Bohol, Philippines? 🌄 It’s been on my bucket list for a while, and despite the delay in sharing, the memories are still fresh and absolutely magical.

Thanks to Kuya for this incredible shot he took of me. It was truly an amazing place, and just by looking at it, you can’t help but be in awe of how God is absolutely amazing and powerful in creating such a place.

This is one of the amazing view you can outlook from above.

Come with me as we explore a place that feels like a slice of heaven—The Alicia Panoramic Park, nestled in the heart of Alicia, Bohol, Philippines. This spot is a paradise for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike, especially for those who have a passion for hiking. 🌿🌄

Our journey began under the cover of the early morning sky, setting off around 4 a.m. The crisp air and the stillness of the night made the climb even more magical. We reached the top just as the first light of day kissed the horizon, around quarter to six. The descent was equally beautiful, and we were back at the base by quarter to 8. The mountains surrounding us whispered tales of ancient beauty, and the sunrise... oh, the sunrise was nothing short of a masterpiece, painting the sky in hues of gold and pink. 🌅

I was with our youth pastor, his wife, and Ate Jean's cousin, whom I had just met, but there was already a spark. We share the same interests in adventure and daily routines for a healthy body. It was actually me who invited her to go for a hike in this beautiful mountain. Here we are, with me taking a quick selfie with them, while Kuya is quietly busy setting up his drone, and Ate is doing her thing with the camera.

Here she is, Ate Gladys. I really like her name—it’s very beautiful. One thing I admire about her is her positivity and determination. She is full of positivity in life, and she was the one who encouraged the couple to join us at the panoramic. I’ve learned so much from her, especially in terms of relationships, ministry, outreach, the standard of a well-respected woman, and so much more.

Standing at the peak, I couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of gratitude. Despite the physical exhaustion, every step was worth the awe-inspiring view—nature’s purest reminder of the incredible wonders God has crafted. It truly made me reflect on the beauty of life, reminding me that every journey, no matter how challenging, is filled with moments that are worth cherishing.

This was all part of my dream, and now looking back still in awe of God's perfect timing.

As I began my 2025, I couldn’t help but look back at the rollercoaster of my 2024—a year filled with growth, wisdom, and countless opportunities. With every experience, I gathered lessons that I carry with me into this new year. And I truly believe that 2025 holds even greater promises, brighter opportunities, and more remarkable moments to embrace.

Here's to a year filled with adventure, gratitude, and the magic that only nature can offer. 🌟 What’s your 2025 looking like so far? Let’s make it unforgettable! 💫
