A Noteworthy Summer in Gingoog

This post is long overdue but I thought I'd still want to post this.

When I was in high school, I used to see some photos of my friends with those giant fruit statues in Tatak plaza. It's really the first thing that came into my mind when I had the chance to visit Gingoog last year for my brother's wedding. But what's noteworthy for me was the clouds- meet- the- sea view at the Promenade by the bay (photo above) and the scenic mountain ranges when traveling from the town to brgy. Samay.

I can't forget our time in Samay. Going somewhere unfamiliar at your own pace plus the cool breeze on that late afternoon was just perfect. You can really appreciate what you are seeing around you- one of the cleanest and the best countryside we've been to. It's a place where you can still see children playing the traditional larong kalye like patintero, luksong baka and habulan. I suddenly wanted to freeze the moment to go back in time when children still prefer to play outside than spend time on gadgets and online games. I'm one fortunate and proud 90's kid.
