A GAZEBO OF JOURNEYS AND RANDOM THOUGHTS OF AN AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER AND WRITER. Life is a series of pictures. Some blurred, others vivid and sharp; some are panoramic while others are close-up views with tiny little flaws. You may be taken by a luxurious DSLR camera or a plain Point and Shoot Cam, but in the end, when all of the films are used up and all batteries empty, people all have one thing in common: what we leave are footprints in the sand, pictures in the album, and flashes of memories.

LIKAY-LIKAY BEACH



 "Likay" is a local dialect which means "avoiding or running away from something". The beach is named as it is because years back, when typhoons frequently hit the town, the sea is murky with its coast lined with the storm's remnants. Despite this, people take a swim while effortfully avoiding the twigs, leaves and other kinds of dirt. Therefore, locals who take a dip here would have to watch out for some UFOs (unidentified floating objects).

The beach is located near the heart of the city "Tunga-Tunga", just behind the Maasin Central School and the City Hall. It is the beach that lines along the Espina Boulevard. At present, the beach is clean and well-maintained by the authorities and people come here often because it is FREE. Ergo, there's no entrance fee or corkage; and people just have to bring their food and tables, chairs with their umbrellas while looking for a spot on a "first come, first served" basis. It was Easter Sunday when I with my family went there, so as expected, the beach was jam-packed. There were men and women swimming, some sunbathing or picture-taking, and some kids on the shore building sand castles, running after the waves or diving for it.

But while people were doing their own business at the beach, my family was busy eating. 
I was busy eating, too. *wink* @.@
