“AESTHETIC BEHIND THE ARDUOUSNESS” Author: Honey Lor O. Claros

This photos are taken on the 17th day of February 2020. This is before we faced the challenges we encountered as we go along the trek up to the famous and beautiful Two Trees. We were all thrilled to finally see its beauty and feel its serenity, not minding the difficult road that’s waiting for us. Our journey up started here.

This is the trail ascending to Two Trees, it's very arduous and slippery.

The difficult road indeed leads us to a beautiful destination. This mesmerizing view Two Trees have paid all the sweats and body aches. We all adored the scenery and the peace between the blue sky above and the breathtaking view below. We filled our eyes with its beauty and never let the opportunity of having a photo with it pass. It was just funny how we adore the mountain when we are just starting and be amazed much more by the view below when were already up there.

This is the Sittio Tigbawan, this picturesque view can be seen when you're already at the peak.

These are some of the views that really caught our attentions. Aside from the view, we were also accommodate by a simple “bahay kubo” where we were able to cook our food and rest. It was a very different feeling because we are away from the busy streets of the city and the noise of the busy highways. What we can hear there is the sound of the leaves dancing with the wind and the birds enjoying their freedom. Plus, for a while, we did not mind our social media accounts for we busied ourselves enjoying all of it.
