Two weeks ago, I went home to my family in Mindanao to spend vacation and celebrate heart's day with them. I didn't want to be alone in Cebu making drama over the weekend while everyone else is out having date with their loved ones. My wife's family lives in a small but very peaceful city Gingoog, Misamis Oriental. To get there, I had to take plane Cebu to Butuan then ride a bus for an hour and thirty minutes going to Cagayan. Gingoog city is between Cagayan De Oro and Butuan. There's not so much to see in Gingoog to be honest except Tiklas falls but the place itself is very clean and super less traffic. Plus the cold fresh air coming from the mountains is just so refreshing. Most people from Gingoog would go to the pantalan or wharf at night since they have a breathtaking view of a mountain and beach ( to see what their wharf looks like you can go to nabzfotografic section of this blog and go to Places). Plus they have food stalls there. Laidback life? Yes, and I wouldn't want more establishments there to preserve the simplicity of life in the city. If you're living in a hustle and bustle place I'm sure you would understand why I said that :-) My wife told me while I'm in Cebu that we will be staying overnight in Resort De Alberto. It's a typical hotel with a pool located in Medina, Misamis Oriental. I got hyped when I knew about the plan because it would be a perfect place for me to show my music video which is my gift to my wife. We went there around 6pm since we have to wait for my mother-in-law who came from a seminar in Baguio. When we got there, the weather was cold and it was raining a bit. But the cold never bothered us anyway. Frozen lang lol. So after we settled our things in our room we went to the pool and enjoyed swimming. The water? Man it was so cooooold but we just tried to ignore it since we wanted to enjoy. I had to wait until 12 midnight before ma solo ko si misis lol. So that it would be romantic to show her the music video while everyone else is sleeping. And my plan worked! Na solo ko na nga lol. While she was watching the video I can see her shining bright teary eyes. I told myself, moments like this is really priceless. I'm a person who loves giving surprises and romantic gifts to my wife. After my mom died three years ago I realized that life isn't just about what you have or possessed it's about memories that you make. It was absolutely a romantic night for us. I hope your Valentine too is memorable. Feel free to browse the photo below. Note that there are a lot of photos :-)
