Strolling on a Gloomy Day at Larawan Public Beach

in blurtpilipinas •  last year 

Hi Blurt Fam!

I remember back in my college days when I used to walk at this beach early in the morning or sometimes late in the afternoon. I would be with my family or sometimes some of my friends, spending time together here. I couldn't say that the beach was so nice because I couldn't appreciate its black sand. However, what I liked about it was the opportunity to do grounding. I had learned before that grounding is good for our health, so whenever I found time to go to the beach and do grounding, I would grab that opportunity.

I hadn't visited this beach for quite some time as my family had moved to a new place. It was a bit distant from our new location, so I haven't had a chance to return to the place where I used to enjoy my free time. However, a few weeks ago, I felt bored and couldn't think of any place to visit except this one.

I was fortunate that the weather was nice. Oh, by the way, I love gloomy weather as it provides a cooler temperature. So, while going to the beach, it was quite pleasant because I didn't have to struggle with hot weather. However, I found the beach to be a bit chaotic, with many people around, most of whom were groups of youngsters.

I noticed that the place has undergone significant changes since the last time I was here. There are no more native cottages on the beach; they have been replaced with modern-style buildings housing numerous food stalls. Additionally, the boardwalk is a new addition that I hadn't seen before. Overall, this place has improved compared to before, and I can confidently say that it has become more progressive.

I could feel the cold breeze as I walked on the boardwalk. This is one of the reasons why I miss this place. While I was busy taking photos, I noticed a little girl enjoying her own company, playing with bubbles. I suggested that she create more bubbles so I could capture them in photos, and fortunately, she followed my instructions.

After strolling around, I decided to check the neighboring areas to see if there were any changes. I still liked the architectural style of the church. Although there were no other changes aside from a fresh coat of paint, the ancient building still looked nice to me.

On my way home, a garden filled with many roses caught my attention. This garden is right in front of the government-owned building. Do you know what I sang when I saw this garden? "I can buy myself flowers " by Miley Cyrus.

I was clad in a sense of nostalgia on that day. It felt great to be back in the place that had once brought me a sense of enjoyment. Based on my experience that day, it is indeed our responsibility to entertain ourselves when boredom strikes us. I was happy to spend the day in a way that was a little different from my usual daily routine. Until then, Blurt fam.
