Traveling to a place I've never been excites me a lot. May it be on the beach, in parks, or in nature, it was my healing process from the stressful days I had. One beautiful weekend my Aunt in Asturias Cebu invited me to come over to her place. Without a second thought, I'd love to visit her place once again and witness the beautiful scenery around.
It was a timely invitation that I'm not planning anything for the weekend. With my cousin, we will be coming over to our aunt in Asturias, Cebu.
My cousin wanted to have a morning walk around Asturias, and going with her is not that bad for I don't have a morning walk lately because of some important matter attended.
....in this blog, I will be sharing with you the incredible and healing view of nature as we have our morning walk with my cousin in Asturias, Cebu along Langub Elementary School road.
We started our morning walk around 5:30 am and planned to have a one-hour walk for a better and healthier body. We started our morning exercise with a jog in place so that we will be ready for an extensive walk.
Seeing the captivating nature around the area where we jog was so amazing. We had our starter point at an open space where you can see excavators around. This area is planned to be the place for a certain school rise here soon. It was not yet realized but it's an ongoing project.
As we go further, a lot of hidden gems can be seen. Gem of mountains around the area where we are doing our morning walk. You can see a lot of shrubs growing around. It's not that difficult to walk and jog in the area for it is a cemented path.
It was so amazing seeing how lovely these mountains are around. Seeing the rays of the sun slowly covering the mountain top is captivating. The green-colored mountains transformed into golden-colored ones because of the reflection of the rays in them.
Side by side you can see beautiful nature. It's an incredible feeling to walk and jog breathing the fresh air. You can feel the cold temperature in the place while going to the top of the mountain.
It was not an easy walk, you will also have to strengthen your muscles for there are areas where it's a hilly part. Yet, an enjoyable one.
Within 20 minutes of walking and a little jogging, I can feel the sweat wrapping around my body. As a famous quote by Seyi Ayoola, “Endure the pain in the sunrise, so when it's sunset, there's a lot of profit to be gained.” It's a good way to endure the pain to achieve a healthier body today.
Moving further, you can see that people here indulge themselves in farming. As proof, growing banana fruits and planted corn can be seen along the way. On the other side, the tranquil and captivating nature can be seen. There's no trace of any human activities in the area. The density of trees growing can be seen.
The sun was slowly rising, but we didn't stop until we will be done with an hour of walking. After 40 minutes of walking, the beautiful rays reflecting in the mountain are so captivating. As we jog and walk, we also include a sort of dancing while walking to our destination. This way, we will have some fun.
After an hour of walking, we decided to get back to our aunt's house. I was mesmerized by the view of the last stop that we had. You can see three hills with slopes on the lower part where animals can be seen in the area. It was so lovely seeing the sunny hills. The radiating sun slowly occupies the darker part of the slope.

While going back, I had the chance to have some shots of these wildflowers that can be seen along the road. It was so captivating to see this bamboo shoot growing healthily. Three new bamboo shoots are growing. I remember during my childhood days we used to get this and fried with sardines in it.
Another is the full bloom humble plant flower (makahiya plants). A foamy light purple color attracts attention while we are walking home.
Next, we also have a shot of this lantana plant (kanding-kanding) with pink-colored flowers. These flowers are very much familiar everywhere in the Philippines. Its juicy flowers usually attract bees and other insects to sip it.
A morning walk towards an unknown place is so worthwhile. Got the chance to see this lovely view around us. Its hidden gem can only be seen if we will have a short but meaningful walk to nature.
This spot is one of the beautiful areas I've wanted to take pictures of after a couple of hours of walking and jogging. This presents a picture-perfect view of the area. It was just a plain abandoned area but the view from the back is superb. A peaceful and relaxing place to go. You can also practice your driving skills here because of the wide open space and fewer cars will be seen passing along the area.
That's all for today's #WednesdayWalk initiated by Hive friends. That was the jaw-dropping view I've seen while having a morning walk and jog. Hopefully, I made you smile today.
Have a nice day everyone!
