Every time we have a reunion, we always choose to celebrate at Odlot Beach in Bogo City, Cebu. This place never fails to provide us with memorable moments and experiences. Every time we go there, we feel nostalgic.
It gives us peace of mind and relaxation.We rarely have the opportunity to do this because of the distance between our homes and the travel expenses. It usually happens when my aunt from Bohol wants to visit here in Guadalupe. Guadalupe is my hometown and also where my mother's parents are from.
They want to stay there for a long time because it has been a while since we've seen each other. Additionally, my aunt who lives in Nailon also wanted to visit, so we grab the opportunity to celebrate together.
The Church of Odlot is near the sea. This church is very well-designed, with great sculptures and a unique architectural style. It faces in front of the sea. Every time we have an occasion to celebrate, we go here first to give thanks and pray for our safety.
The beach in Odlot has very soft sand. The water is clear and doesn’t easily mix with the sand. The atmosphere is windy. The cottages there are affordable, and you'll be satisfied with them. Furthermore, here in Odlot, even during low tide, there is still enough water for you to swim freely. Also, there are many ships passing by Odlot, which bring huge waves that splash on the seashore.
No matter how far apart we are or how long it’s been since we’ve seen each other, the bonds we’ve created, the time we’ve spent, the stories we’ve shared, and the memories we’ve made will never be forgotten and will always remain in our hearts. These connections help us maintain our strong relationships as a family.
We may be busy with our own lives, but having those precious moments when we all gather together for occasions like birthdays, Halloween, Christmas, and New Year’s is something we will never miss. Those days are very special to us because they allow us to come together to celebrate and cherish these little moments, creating memories that we will keep forever.
I'm so blessed to have relatives like them. They are always there when you need them and give advice when you seek it. They will lend or give you money whenever you need it. They aren't wealthy, but they always share their blessings and whatever they have.
Keeping those precious moments alive helps us maintain our good relationship with each other.
