Oh my... Omang The Erudites

It’s already five in the morning. Kring... Kring... Kring..

I was lying on my single bed, feeling its coziness and the coldness of my room when I realized that I was no longer in Rizal because I decided to take my last shot before my summer has ended. So, I decided to rise up early so I could accomplish lots of my activities.

As I unveiled the beige curtain of my cottage’s window, I witnessed a picturesque view of Caramoan. It was intensively heaven. There were varieties of green trees, ornamentals on the right side, it seemed like a forest somewhere in Arizona but it was not.

On the other side, I saw the God-made shore covered with heavenly white sand with reachable horizon at the end. My eyes were feasted on the wonderful sceneries, it was magical for me.

I immediately started my day by walking taking to the well-known, Omang Cave which is few meters away from my cabin in Gota, one of Caramoan’s finest resorts. I never felt the distance because of the place’s ambiance and atmosphere. I could also hear the monkeys seemed like talking with each other, chatting about us who were strangers in their place.

As I reached the cave together with the other tourists, I wore my protective gears especially my helmet before I entered to the prominent cave of Caramoan.

It seemed that the cave is like a dark hole leading to Hades’ kingdom. I hurriedly turned on my flashlight to see the wonders of the cave. Upon entering the cave, I saw thousands of bats, screeching and screaming which seemed like they saw hunters and tried to fly in different directions. It feels like there’s a thin air passing through the narrow path. I could hardly breathe. But as we continue trekking the rough and soggy floor of limestones, we embraced the fresh air touching our exhausted bodies.

As I reached the other side of the cave, Sohotan River surprised us with its tranquility and sacredness. We decided to take kayaking for us to reach the other side of the beach.

At exactly nine in the morning, I went back to the resort and started eating my breakfast and waiting for the telephone to RING once again... Kring... Kring... Kring... to get ready for my next adventure here in Caramoan_._

Just like a house, the elements might be arranged slightly different. But at the end of the day, they are usually all present and accounted for. Literary elements are the fundamental building blocks of writing. They play an important role in helping us write, read and understand literature.

Hartgers (2020) defined literary elements as writing techniques used to create artistic special effects, that immerse the reader into a narrative, story, or text. Literary elements are specific ways that storytellers use words in specific patterns to tell their stories. They are considered as main tools in a writer’s toolbox.
