Hello dear Hivers, @Pearlyshelll here—bringing you another story shaped by experience, wrapped in reflection.
Today June 16, 2025 I will share with you a special day for me and my friends. These are my very best people, the ones I met when I was in senior high school, Grade 11 and 12. Now, we are officially in college and studying at different schools. We don’t see each other every day anymore, so we decided to have a summer outing together before our classes begin. This happened yesterday June 15,2025
This is an afternoon session, and everything feels nice and calm. I’m excited to share our moments with you in this blog.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE PLACE WE CHOSE
We are here at Fatima Beach in Liloan. This place is very nice and peaceful. In the picture, you can see the *big and tall coconut trees beside ** They give a cool shadow, and they make the place look more tropical and calm. The trees are really tall, and when the wind blows, the leaves move so softly. It feels relaxing to sit under them.
The sea water here is very clean and nice. It looks blue and clear when the sun is up. When we walk near the beach, we can hear the small waves touching the sand. The sound of the water makes us feel peaceful. Some of us just sit and look at the water while others go and swim.
There is a cement line at the beach, like a small road that goes near the water. We can walk there if we want to take pictures. It’s also a nice place if we want to jump into the sea and go swimming. Many of us enjoyed taking photos there because the sea and sky look so good in the background.
The place is really clean. The sand is soft, and we did not see trash around. The people there also remind us to keep the beach clean. We also cleaned after ourselves. It’s important to take care of nature so others can enjoy it too.
MY CIRCLE OF FRIENDS
After some time, we sat down and made a circle together. It felt so fun and warm to be close like that again. One of our friends, Matthew, brought his guitar. He knows how to play it very well. He also started to sing, and his voice was nice and calm. It made all of us feel good and relaxed.
We had some drinks with us. They were inside the cooler, and we could drink while we were talking and laughing. We talked about our old school days, our college life now, and many funny stories.
The foods were placed inside the cottage, so we could just go there when we felt hungry. Everything felt simple, but it was a very happy moment. Being with my friends like this is something I will always remember.
ME AND BEST FRIEND KURT
After that, I spent some time with Kurt, my BSBA best friend. We have been close since senior high school, and now he is also in college just like me. Even if we don’t see each other every day anymore, our friendship is still strong.
We sat together, talked, and laughed about our funny memories in school. Kurt shared some stories about his college life and the things he is learning in BSBA. I am really proud of him because he is trying his best in school.
Being with Kurt reminds me of the good old days, but also makes me feel happy for what is ahead. We promised to stay close and support each other, even if we are in different schools now.
ME AND MY ANOTHER FRIEND FAYE
After talking with Kurt, I went to sit with Faye. She is also one of my closest friends. We started talking about life and how things are now. Faye didn’t continue college and she shared her own reasons.
I listened to her with an open heart. I know it was not easy for her, but I saw that she is still strong and positive. She told me about the things she is doing now and how she wants to try again in the future when the time is right.
Even if our paths are different now, I still see Faye as a very kind, brave, and real friend. We both smiled and felt happy just being there, talking and spending time like we used to. This moment reminded me that true friendship is always there, no matter what happens in life.
NEXT, I WENT TO TALK THIS 5 PEOPLE
*Next, I went to talk with Villa She is taking Education in college because she wants to become a teacher. She told me how she loves kids and wants to help them learn and grow. I think she will be a great teacher one day.
After that, I spent time with Claire and Klent. They are both taking Criminology. They said their course is a bit hard, but also very interesting. They want to help keep people safe and serve the community. I’m so proud of them for following their dreams.
Then I talked with Anthony. He is studying "Engineering*. He said he enjoys building things and solving problems Even if it’s not easy, he is really working hard to learn more.
Last, I sat with Ivy. Her course is HM (Hospitality Management). She told me she wants to work in hotels or restaurants one day. She loves serving people and making them feel welcome and happy.
It was nice to hear all of their stories. Even if we are all on different paths, we are still connected by our memories and our friendship.
AFTER THAT I GO BACK TO KURT TO BORROW HIS LAPTOP TO WATCH SOME MOVIE
After that, I went back to Kurt. I asked if I could borrow his laptop because I wanted to watch a movie. He smiled and said yes, of course. That’s one thing I like about Kurt — he is always kind and helpful.
We opened the laptop and looked for a good movie to watch. Some of our friends also came and sat with us.
AFTER I STAND UP AND TOLD THEM THAT WE HAVE TO Take some photos FOR MEMORIES
SO HERE'S THE SOME PICTURES
📸 First Photo
This was one of the first photos we took during the outing. I sat beside my friend, smiling and feeling happy to be there. I wore brown pants, and my friend wore a blue jacket because the air was a bit cold in the afternoon. Behind us, you can see our cottage with bags, mats, and snacks ready for the day. It was a simple setup, but we were all so excited just to be together again.
📸 Second Photo
Here, we were standing by the shore, enjoying the beautiful sunset. The sky looked soft with colors of pink and orange, and we wanted to take a group picture to remember this peaceful moment. We laughed a lot while posing and fixing how we looked. Each one of us is now in a different college, but in this photo, it felt like we were still back in high school, just having fun like before.
📸 Third Photo
These photos were taken under the bright sun, near the blue ocean. I was with my friends again, smiling and walking on the sand. We took more pictures to keep the memory of this day. Even if the sun was hot, we didn’t mind, because we were just so happy. We hugged, talked, and took turns taking pictures of each other. It was a day full of friendship, laughter, and good vibes by the sea.
TOGETHER
In this picturs, you can see how happy we were just being together. We all sat and lay down on the mat under the shade, smiling and making cute poses. Some of us held mini fans because it was a little hot, but we still enjoyed it so much. We made funny faces, showed heart signs, and even took group selfies while lying close to each other. These pictures show how close we are as friends — always laughing, joking, and enjoying every small moment. No need for big plans — just being with these amazing people is already the best part of this summer outing.
NIGHT TIME
When the night came, everything around us felt more quiet and peaceful. The wind was cool, and we were all sitting together near the cottage. We turned on some small lights and used our phones to make it brighter. The place looked simple, but the feeling was very special.
We sat in one big group, still talking, laughing, and sharing stories. We talked about our lives now, how college is going, what course we took, and what our dreams are in the future. Some of us talked about the hard parts, and others shared the fun things too. It felt safe to talk like that because we were with people who understand us.
Some friends brought snacks, and others shared their drinks. We took turns playing music from our phones. We even played games like "truth or dare" and charades. We were shouting, cheering, and clapping. It made us laugh so much. One of the best parts was when we just looked at the stars together. The sky was so clear that night, and it felt like the stars were watching us too.
Even if it was dark, the feeling was bright in our hearts. We felt thankful to still have each other after everything. Now that we are in different schools, we don’t see each other every day. But in this moment, it was like nothing changed. We were still the same group of friends who used to walk in the school halls, eat lunch together, and make jokes in class.
That night became one of the best memories for all of us. It reminded us that no matter how far we go or how busy life gets, we will always have this group, this bond, and this summer outing to look back on.
HERE'S THE PHOTO AGAIN THIS MOMENTS
I stood on the beach with my close friend during the sunset. The sky was soft and colorful. We smiled and took pictures while feeling the cool wind. It was a happy moment. I felt free and relaxed. This picture reminds me of the fun and peaceful feeling of summer.
We sat on the sand, close to the sea. My friends and I talked, laughed, and played. The sound of the waves made everything calm. We shared food and happy stories. It was a simple time, but it made me really happy. I will always remember this moment.
After walking around, I sat down and stretched my legs on the sand. I looked at the sea and took a deep breath. It was quiet and peaceful. I felt thankful for the day and the people with me. That short quiet time made me feel calm and full of joy.
When it got dark, we still had fun. We played games, took pictures, and laughed a lot. The beach was full of lights and happy sounds. I was very happy to be with my friends. That night was full of good memories and real joy.
This outing was not just for fun, but also for the heart. It gave us time to share our problems, to let go of the heavy feelings, and to feel okay again. That's the type of friends that we have. Some of us are going through hard times, but this day helped us feel lighter. We listened to each other, we hugged, we understood, and that made this outing even more special.
Even if we are now in different colleges, we will always remember this day — full of care, laughter, and love. It reminded us that we still have each other.
Thank youuuu for reading this part of our life. Until next time — bye for now! 🥰🌅
