Dreaming of summer in Philippines

I don’t like swimming, but I do love chilling at the beach. And the best time to do it is now until mid-May! Yeah, it feels as if it’s always summer in the Philippines, but June to December means having frequent rain and occasional typhoons. February to May means calm seas and sunny days!

How I wish I had enough to spare for a round trip ticket and a short getaway to Bohol or Camiguin! I can almost feel the sea breeze while lying in a hammock.

Well, I don’t have to travel and spend a lot because a few minutes walk from my family’s house is a magnificent place. It’s not blessed with white sands but beautiful nevertheless!


The photos above was taken last January so the weather was not at its best.
You know what I also miss? Fruits that are only abundant in summer! Mangoes, jackfruits, guavas, young coconut, the list goes on.

Magoong Beach

Before I start the series of recollections from my sad homecoming, I would just like to share some photos of my beautiful hometown.

One can’t find white sand beaches in Magoong, Linamon, Lanao del Norte. But for me, the beaches in my hometown are some of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen.


This shore is facing Iligan City, so it’s easy to tell if it’s raining there or not. When it’s low tide, you can see the Siquijor island from here, too. Yep, no kidding. :D

There may be a few things that I don’t like about the place where I was raised, but I’m not gonna trade those with a sunset view such as this one:

Why do I love my hometown? It’s because of my family, friends, memories, and just a few steps from our house, is an abode of beauty and serenity.
