Mount Mayabobo is a cinder cone situated at the base of Mount Banahaw which are located at Brgy. Mayabobo Candelaria, Quezon. It has a height of  300 m and it is one of the tourist destination for local residents of Candelaria and nearby municipalities, it has a telecommunication site at its summit for sight-seeing and hiking. For beginners even it’s height is low still it was hard to get to it’s peak because the road is pretty slippery. When you get to the peak you will see clearly the town of Candelaria, other hills and Mount Banahaw. This Mount Mayabobo was the first hike for me and it gives me chill that time.

Pinagbanderahan is located at Quezon National Park in Atimonan Quezon. This park which is nestled in the famed Sierra Madre Mountain Range, accessible by a scenic zigzag road that cuts through the forests. Built during the American period, the Forest Park is one of the oldest protected areas in the Philippines. Pinagbanderan is a historic site which means “where the flag was hoisted”, the flag signifies as a beacon in the Philippine Revolution and it witnessed the American and Japanese flags being raised in its heights before finally the Philippine flag reclaimed its proper place in 1946.

The peak of Pinagbanderahan was a perfect place to view Mount Banahaw as well as the city of Lucena and the town of Pagbilao, Tayabas, Padre Burgos and Atimonan. It is a nice place to unwind and to relieved stresses. There is also a small cave you will see as you go to the peak and it takes 1-2 hours to climb up the flight of stairs that leads to its peak.

Sa bawat oras ng kalungkutan may mga tao parin na gustong tumulong para mabawasan ang kalungkutang nararamdaman mo at iyon ang “kaibigan”. Ang kaibigan ay ang mga taong handa magbigay o maglaan ng oras kahit sila ay may mga bagay na ginagawa. Oo, maraming kaibigan pero iilan lamang ang mga napapagkatiwalaan at kayang maglaan ng oras para sa iyo at sila ang mga tunay na kaibigan. Sila ay handang makinig sa ating mga problema dahil naiintindihan at nirerespeto nila tayo. Ang kaibigan din ay handa sumuporta sa lahat ng bagay at handa magsabi ng walang pagaalinlangan ang mga bagay na alam nilang mali at hindi makakabuti para sa iyo dahil sila ay tapat at walang tinatago. Ang isang totoong kaibigan ay hindi nadiyan dahil may kailangan lamang sila sa iyo dahil may mga kaibigan na kaibigan ka lang dahil may mga bagay silang kailangan mula sa iyo at yun ang isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit mahirap magkaroon ng mga totoong kaibigan dahil hindi lahat ay totoo at mapagkakatiwalaan.

Cagbalete Island was the most promising Island I’ve been to and it is surrounded with cream sand and crystal water. A simple island that offered the quietude we’ve been craving for a long time. Cagbalete is one of the crystals of the province of Quezon, an island of white sand which is located within Lamon Bay and Pacific Ocean on east side and it is popular because of sand ripples during low tide that makes the Island more unique. We arrived at the island when the sky is getting dark then we stayed at Pansacola Beach Resort. That night there are a group of people dancing with fire and there are fireworks firing and it feels so good and it was a very relaxing night for me. Also, the city lights and the power plant of Mauban are very visible that night because of their sparkling lights that also catches my attention. I got amaze on that island because it was so nice and I feel relax that helps me relieved stress and that Island is one of the places I want to go back to.

Social media is one of the reason why people get busy because they can easily access and communicate to other people online and not personally. Social media has a positive and negative effect. The positive of it is that people can easily communicate to other people and can easily make friends through online by the use of internet and also, people can also easily get your personal information without knowing it. In spite of that, there are also a negative effect of social media and that is there are people using it just to harm people. Also, sometimes there are people who are addicted to social media and sometimes they feel that they cannot live without it and they spend so much time on it which affect their healthy lifestyle. Social media can also reduce your self communication to other people personally which aren’t good in developing communication skill of a person.
