alcoy, cebu


is it lavish to feel good and go away with a loved one? we are frugal in some ways. but we were in cebu that time for some important matters and we thought we can go on a side trip to Alcoy.

how do you explain my insomnia in manila unknown in a place like this?

Argao, Cebu




Spent many summers here, some 3 decades ago. Time flies. Time is diamond.

ARGAO, CEBU
TOWN HALL AND JUSTICE HALL



Balay lungsod (town hall). My grandfather used to work here. My cousins, my sisters and I used to play in the spacious hall way inside the first floor or run up and down a big wooden stairway to the second floor. Behind this building was a tennis court which doubled for a dancing floor during the weekends.

On the first floor was the post office where I mailed my letters to my parents and pen pals. I had some pen pals when I was young and summer was good time to write to them.




Below is a beautiful structure (Hall of Justice)but this was once a "ruins". Years ago, there was a day care center and playground behind it. I was enrolled for some months there when I was small. I remember we had ballet. Even when we were older, we used to go there during summer for the see-saw and the swing. I wanted to show them to my husband but the school and playground are now gone. It does not feel good to not see the old markers of the town, and of my childhood.

Is it possible that Balicasag was once a great coral?

you mean, we are facing Mindanao?

We went to Loboc but it was not Tarsier or the river (although I enjoyed them too)that went with me out of Bohol. It was the feeling that I felt when we passed by Bilar, the town where my grandmother lived as a young woman before they went to Davao. Whatever they meant by "roots", I felt it that day and can remember how it got me.

So far, SOGOD.
