Sundays @ the Park - LOVERS

I am a practicing Catholic. My family attend mass every sunday. Sunday is always a family day. Since our chapel does not have regular mass, we usually attend mass at Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage Parish downtown


OLPGVP for us in Gensan is located in front of the Public Park. Now that it has been newly renovated more people go and visit the park. Loners and groups. Young and old. Happy and Sad go there. It is so nice to do people watching there as they somehow unveil their life story.


I will be having a special mini-series of Sundays @ the Park posts with features pictures of the week.

This time I'll be making a special on Lovers at the Park.


Enjoy the Spring of Love and Youth, to some good angel leave the rest; For Time will teach thee soon the truth, there are no birds in last year's nest!

-- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow





They say, as people mature, they also grow tired of expressing their emotions especially when it comes to love. Noticing the captured lovers, they all are - young lovers. You will rarely see older people going out and expressing their love publicly and obviously you will rarely see them sitting sweetly  in one of these park benches or walking holding hands. Such a sad thought. Is love for the young alone? Or the elders have better things to do than making nonsense public display of affection?


Here's another famous love quote from a famous Beatles Member  for my take:


Love is a promise;
love is a souvenir, 
once given never forgotten, 
never let it disappear.

~ John Lennon






Spread the love everyone!

LAST MINUTE SUMMER BONANZA

School bell is about to RING...

Days to go and SUMMER is over...

Before it ends, here's a rundown of simple summer activities you can have with your love ones..

Summer time, is usually  hot (minus the CLIMATE CHANGE).. a good time to go to the beaches and enjoy the sun (before 9am) and the water...

to those of you who wish to enjoy a pool with exciting slides, you may check out Del Rio Splash Resort.. It may be small compared to the Swimming Resorts in Laguna BUT you can enjoy the fresh water and its slides, by just taking a bus if your taking off from General Santos City... A less than hour ride from GenSan is not bad if you wanted to take a dip and slide for you life at del rio..






but if travelling is too tiresome for you, GENERAL SANTOS CITY do have a lot of beach resorts to choose from...

My family's favorite is Rajah Beach Resort. It may not be well developed, but we love the serenity of the place.. Plus, they still have those trees on the seashore that you can put a hammock and enjoy a nap while being blown by a sweet summer breeze...


There are also Motor-boats that may take you boating on a fair fare price... just make sure to wear proper sunblock..



but then again... if you are on a tight budget... you may still enjoy summer buy staying home!

all you need is a TUB or if you have an inflattable mini-pool, fill it with water and... its up to you how you wanted you day to be... you may turn your speaker ON and play reggae music to have a HAWAIIN vibe... prepare delicious a sumptous feast or just dial up and have some food delivered... 

Note: You may also recycle the water you used for the TUB or mini-pool. Use it for watering your plants.




Not a big fan of WATER?... 

you can engage yourself to a SPORTS hobby... you can go to a nearest TENNIS Court/Club and start sweating it up!

General Santos City do have alot of TENNIS Enthusiasts and we have a TENNIS COURT right at the heart of the City.. near the City Library...


Summer or not, you may unwind and enjoy what our City has to offer...

you may bring you and your kids at our CHILDREN's PLAYGROUND, at Oval Plaza in front of BIR Office.. pictures on my next blog...
