A REDIRECTION: So, here’s the scoop: We set off to Calayan Island, this total gem tucked away in Northern Luzon, just below Batanes. Cruising on the Lampitaw for a solid seven hours, soaking in all the views along the way. But get this: turns out, our plans got flipped! Imagine our surprise when we realized we had it all backward! We were convinced we were bound for Aparri, only to discover it was actually the reverse journey. We double-checked the ferry boat schedule, and lo and behold, it was set for Aparri to Calayan. Talk about a plot twist! With one of us needing to be in Baguio by the 24th, extending our trip wasn't an option we could entertain. But you know what? We didn't let that little hiccup ruin our adventure. Instead, we embraced it and stumbled upon Dalupuri—a hidden paradise untouched by phone signals or electricity. Imagine this: just the five of us, feeling the boat's gentle sway as we watched the sun set in a mesmerizing display of colors. And oh, did we have a blast! Taking a refreshing dip and swimming under the stars was just the cherry on top. What made it even more special was getting to chat with the boat owner. We heard all about their life as fishermen, their struggles, and triumphs. And talk about a unique experience—we even got to watch them fish right before our eyes! It was one of those moments that remind you just how magical life can be when you go with the flow. In the end, what started as a simple trip turned into this epic adventure—a reminder to always expect the unexpected and embrace every twist and turn along the way. Absolutely! As the preaching we heard at the church in Calayan reminded us, God’s rejection often serves as a powerful redirection. Sometimes, what may seem like a setback or disappointment is actually a divine opportunity for growth, discovery, and new beginnings. #redirectionisablessing #christiantiktok #travel #traveltok #calayanisland #dalupiri #travelling @Tobi | VA HR Manager @Yannie A.
