Good day, Hivian! How’s life? I hope you’re fine while reading my blog. As I checked upon the stored photos, I stumbled upon these pictures. I wanted to visit this place for the blog today, but the situation didn’t let me. Luckily, we still have these pictures.
This place is Salag Public Beach. Located at Salag, Tabogon, Cebu Philippines, one of the barangays of Tabogon. Salag is 3.8 km away from the barangay where I live. It’s too far that you need to have strong stamina to reach this place if you do not use a vehicle.
I was unfamiliar with this place until I reached high school where three or four of my classmates live here. I was very interested in their place since as they described it, their beach was nice, and they would use bamboo float to reach the school. Since using the bamboo float was a shortcut and less effort. Unfortunately, they will become wet from the seawater after using the bamboo float, and they will bring extra clothes and shoes.
I’m curious about the bamboo float. I wanted to try riding it because it’s new to me. I live in the downtown area, where establishments are located, and all the goods can easily be accessed without using any transport, just the foot.
I had no determination to ask permission to go and explore Salag because the place was very far. When you’re still a teenager, you have less freedom to explore. You live in the house of your parents, it means, they’re the manager of your life. You’re under surveillance. It would be a great reminder to Gen Z that adults have a right to monitor us. I know my parents would not give me permission looking at the distance of the place. They would think how dangerous the place is.
Years had already passed. The bamboo float has gone. How sad I’ was when I heard it. Yet, I was happy for them because the float was replaced with a hanging bridge. The extra clothes and shoes will become unnecessary to bring.
My curiosity about the bamboo float has gone, been replaced by the look of the hanging bridge. I’m still a teenager and coward enough to ask permission. The thing that I could do was wait for the right time to visit. Patience is a virtue.
It was after I graduated from high school, that I officially visited the place. I was very excited to walk and the tiredness I experienced was gone when I reached my destination. I crossed the place using the hanging bridge.
I was happy at the time that finally, with my parent’s permission, I crossed the famous hanging bridge of Salag and witnessed the beauty of their beach.
I realized the time would come. You may not be able to go to the place instantly, but I know, with patience, it will be granted. It may not be today, but soon, you will. Just don’t force things. There will always be a good time for everything.
What place do you want to go, that you know you can reach, but the timing is not right? Hope I can hear your opinion too.
Thank you for reaching this far. If you want to inspire, learn, and to witness beautiful scenery, experiences, and places, do not forget to follow, upvote, and reblog my post as a way of supporting and motivating me to write more. Thank you.
