Last year, right about this time, we often visited the park at night to experience the Christmas vibe in there as early as October. We'll enjoy the "Pailaw," the night market, and the small events that take place in the plaza. We'll have our walk and enjoy some snacks. I purposely don't eat anything before coming there because I want to buy foods in the night market. I experienced buying homemade siomai in there, the cinnamon rolls with sour cream which is my first time, and those cakes in the cup, and I will also bring a takeout for the oldies.
But now, I can't freely do that even when Mama asked me a lot of times already. Just this morning she asked me to go to the park later tonight with her to sightsee and just enjoy a short time in the plaza to experience a lively night view. But I said no. I can't convince myself yet to go anywhere, especially at night. I'm still not healed with the trauma I experienced because of my nose, and I have this thought that I might experience it at the park if I go there at night. The wound is already healed, but my trauma wasn't sad to say (｡ŏ﹏ŏ).
That's also why, during our last visit there last week, I took my time strolling around the park and see and enjoy the changes in there -you know, the new addition or the ongoing construction of some villages in the park. Although it is so much better to visit there at night to see those big changes, I won't go there during the night for now.
So here's one of the things they added in the park. This part before has no benches yet. But now not only have they put a bench here, but they also built a roof on each bench. It's more amazing because if people decide to sit here or hang out here even with the scorching heat of the sun, they are still protected from the sunlight thanks to the roofs built on each bench.
This could be a perfect spot for a couple, a family, and a close friend who wants to sit and talk or eat together without minding the sun or the rain. I really love how they are paying much attention to the park. And this can attract more attention from other people in other municipality. I'm sure it looks more amazing here during the night ( ꈍᴗꈍ).
On the other hand, some of the bench roofs are still under construction. I'm sure before Christmas, everything will be done here. Every year, you will really see big changes in the Plaza de Bansud. And that is why people won't ever get tired of visiting this place because they can always look forward to something new every year.
Also, this metal in the shape of leaves was not in this spot before, but now they are. I am really not sure though what's the purpose of it. But it still looks good either way. I actually saw a group of people taking their stroll that day and taking their group photo there. I think they are not from Bansud.
And now this! This one I know is new. I'm not sure though when they started building it here. Maybe just last month, I actually saw a box not far from this one. I think those boxes came with these things here, that triangle-shaped thing. Not sure what it is, but there's a bunch of big lights inside of it. This must look good during the night. This is one of the reasons why I want to get tempted into visiting the park at night. Lol. Too bad I'm still afraid to do so. And by the way, people can fit inside. It's maybe for that purpose, you know, people going in there to take a photo.
The area surrounding here is as beautiful as I remember it to be. With the lively and green plants everywhere, the bright flowers that give the place the scent of nature, and those tall trees -it's still a lovely place where you can hang out and have your relaxation. I actually feel like it's been a year since I last visited here, seeing the big changes that happened for a very short time ( ꈍᴗꈍ).
I just wish I would be able to see the night view of the park and enjoy it to the fullest. It will happen once I finally find the courage to do it again ＼(^o^)／.
