year in HS (early 90's), looking over the beach of San Remegio

speaking of Bogo, what i remember most whenever i think of it are the beaches. well, they aren't exactly found in Bogo, but rather in the neighboring town of San Remegio. we used to go there a lot during the summers of the 90's. it was a regular place for us to hang out whenever the weekends would come. so it wouldn't really be a surprise to see me all tanned up in most of my pictures during those times (that explains why the picture above is in black and white... hehe!).

the white beaches of San Remegio then were a haven for us, untouched yet by the commercialization of humans. you can walk for miles along its very wide shores, especially during the low tide. we would typically rent a little cottage by the beach (then costing P25 for the entire day) and spend our time swimming, eating (boiled saba, puso and sinugbang baboy -- yum! :9), kwentuhan and even sleeping. cheap thrills! :-) those were the good days.

i haven't been to San Remegio for quite some time now. i don't know what to expect when we go there this coming christmas. i just hope that it remained to be the beach we used to know -- clean and affordable.
