I remember when I was still in college, the park was really close to our university, so if not in a computer shop, we would stay in the park and enjoy the cold breeze in there while savoring the tranquility of the park. You know how hard it is to be a college student, so having a peaceful environment while relaxing is what we crave most, aside from food, errrr (≧▽≦). I'm just glad that it's close to our university (◍•ᴗ•◍).
So I can understand why these students here chose to hang out here rather than at their school, some still chose to hangout in the Park after school, maybe because they can find peace in there than at their home, but who knows no. And although it is also fun to stay at school because it can be quiet too when students go home and decide to go to a different destination, a park is still so much better because you can enjoy the fresh air. It can be very hot in the classroom too, you know, especially if it's only an e-fan and not even an air conditioner.
Anyway, we visited Pinamalayan Park in the morning, so there's still a few people in here. But when it's lunch time, that's when this place starts to be filled with students from different schools - not just students but also some employees that are having their break time too. There are some who just went there with their family, maybe to have fun, same with some couple or those groups of friend that decided to hangout here. It's really hot at that time, but it's nothing with the cold breeze, you just have to find a perfect spot here where you can settle and enjoy the air. There's actually a lot in here where you can also rest. We lacked time at that moment, so I couldn't get a full picture of the park.
So, we found this good spot here where we can enjoy more of nature and the cold breeze. Look at Mama, so busy with her phone, while I'm also busy taking photos and admiring the place with those tall and beautiful trees and the green grasses.
And whether you go left or right, or in front or at the back, what you can see is still pretty and really worth taking a picture of, very instagrammable. The whole place is surrounded by trees, just like our Plaza de Bansud, so if it's too hot and you still want to enjoy the place, you can take cover using those tall trees. That's why having trees in our surroundings is really important. They're pleasing to the eyes too.
Look how some people here can take cover using those tall trees. It's also a good thing that there are benches and waiting areas everywhere where they can sit and rest. While looking around, I saw more people coming over, and they were resting in different spots. I actually want to explore different spots in this park, but I can't walk without Mama, and she doesn't want to come with me. That time, my loner side took over my body and got shy again to face people ( ꈍᴗꈍ). You know, I'm not sure if other people experience that too, but there are times that I get shy and don't want to face people if I'm not with someone closer to me, like Mama. Is it just me? Lol.
But anyways, when Mother rested enough, I was able to drag her in this part, finally (≧▽≦), where I asked her to go climb up into these rainbow arc stairs. This rainbow design here is actually a double purpose, because aside from it is a rainbow design, this is a staircase too, I love this spot seriously. If only it weren't too hot, I'd stay on these stairs much longer. And the view - hold your breath, guys, as you're about to witness a breathtakingly beautiful scenery where you will feel more calm just watching it.
Even on top, the tall trees can reach even higher heights, which makes this adventure of climbing up more exciting and fun. And yes, thats the kind of view that is waiting for you on top. Lovely right? I mean, the word lovely is not an accurate term; it should be spectacular or maybe *majestic! Would you agree? Hehe.
So here's the view on both sides, front and back. Both have wonderful views, on the left and right views, you can still see more trees. Ah, what a lovely paradise this place is. I'm curious how and what they look like at night. Like, is it full of lights? Just like in a magical movie, no? Ehe. It is sad because I never visit Pinamalayan Park at night. Maybe I should add that to my bucket list ಠಿ_ಠ.
We enjoy the top view, but it's time to go down now, lol. I really want to stay more ಥ_ಥ, lol. And look at those kids enjoying their break time with their friends. I saw more students on the other side, but they are all busy "chitchatting." I mean, the best thing to do when you visit the park is sit down and have a very interesting talk, from nonsense to some serious topics, right? Ehe.
