ever since my folks migrated to the US a few years ago, i’ve been having crappy holidays at home because 1) my relatives are no fun and i can’t relate with them, and 2) my buddies have their own family celebrations (aside from the fact that i have few close friends). i wasn’t expecting to have fun this christmas holiday. in fact, if worse comes to worst, i was planning to finish reading the fresh-and-sealed books i bought months ago, and probably grow mold in the process. (which reminds me of the boxes of tikoy already crowding my refrigerator. they’re probably moldy by now, eek!)
anyway, i’m glad a friend of ours came up with the out-of-town idea. at first, batangas is not my idea of a perfect getaway, really. all i can think of at that time were the overcrowded resorts of matabungkay infested with subic beach jologs who bring their own karaoke machine.
la luz, on the other hand, is a complete opposite. even though we had a slightly bumpy ride going there, it was worth the minor hassle. the resort is located in laiya; clean, peaceful and far from the hustle and bustle. i suggest you bring along an extra sarong or shawl so you can enjoy the very cool breeze, and chismis under the stars hehe :)
the buffet food was not even 3star-spectacular, but it was home-style tasty (and sinfully oily) we were full to brim most of the time lol. the resort is also a nice place to wear your cute bikinis, so far there weren’t any rude oglers. (in my case, since my companions are slim, i don’t have the balls to flaunt my flabs. i still got sunburned, tho.)
i think this will be my most memorable year-ender yet. nothing beats a quiet resort, a good bottle of wine and great company :)
