ice_of_dreamsMore pictures, haha it's fun to be on vacation isn't it?
Having freshly graduated from UP Diliman some of my blockmates and I decided on a road trip to idyllic Laluz Resort in Batangas.
Unlike Boracay and Puerto Galera, Laluz Resort isn't a party scene, so it's something that you'd take your family to on a nice quiet weekend to get away from the busy and quite noisy city life.
It's not the cheapest place on the block, but the place is good, you have a cabana in front of your room for the open fresh air of the sea, beach side lounge chairs and free life vests. Why free life vests? Unlike usual beaches, laluz beach resort has sudden plunges into the deep sea. However, it's a very rocky beach, big rocks sprout out of the water and my friend recieved a long gash on her leg for it.
Wet shoes(?) are advicable. Thing is the snorkeling here is ok. Considering it's in the shore, you could already see a number of gaily colored fishes even if you don't venture far. If you take their free life vest, use a snorkel and goggles you brought along you'd do fine.
However, Batangas isn't a place that you'd spend weeks and weeks over sicne you could barely do anything there but swim, take pictures, lounge in the sun and talk to your friends. It's the quiet get away, but after you've soaked in enough sun, you don't know what to do anymore.
:)
Pictures from Laluz resort, so you could see all its glory. Taken with a better camera, still not SLR though.

I'm probably going to tinker with the dusk sky a bit with photoshop. Uhh... and I didn't take all of the pictures here since I didn't bring a digital camera but a film camera.
