In God's Perfect Creation

This last summer, we went to San Juan, Batangas specifically in Laiya Beach. This is one of the unforgettable things for me, because, first this is my first time in Laiya Beach (before we went to Quezon, but it happened a long time ago, maybe I was 1 year old back then that's why I can't remember it) and second, my Kuya got mad at me for I was the one who marinated the barbecue, small thing right? Then he really got mad at me. Anyways, we celebrated Mother's Day there. We packed our snacks and we're ready to go! Around 7:00 am, we rode. We arrived there around 1:00 pm. The place is so beautiful. White sand shore, blue sky, and clear blue sea. Haven for stressed people. 

We ate our lunch there, our ulam is Adobong Baboy. We eat by the seashore. A fish vendor offer us fresh fishes from the sea itself. We bought bid squids and a two flat-looking-fish and I don't know what its name. We waited for almost an hour for our room to be cleaned and ready. When they were finished, I immediately pick my bed, eventually, we have this kind of competition within our cousins only, first come first serve! My other cousins were still on the road. So, me and my Ate sort out the things in the car. 

Nicole and I searched for some seashells by the seashore. We found an umang, its a crustacean living in a shell, once they get bigger, they will leave their shell and find another one. Not for a long time, we set him free. Every afternoon, the sea is in low tide, we reach about 50 meters away form the shore and still, the sea water was just above my knee. We played tag along the sea. We had so mush fun. 

The night came, I started to prepare our dinner. My cousins arrived around 9:00 in the evening. They helped me to grill the barbecue and the squid. We ate our dinner together and after that, we decided to stroll the sea. It was still in low tide. The children there were digging and catching talangka (crabs). Early in the morning, we ate fried chicken and barbecue, again, cooked by my Kuya. Few hours later, we packed our things to go home. 

This Laiya Beach experience will be forever in my memories. As the beauty of the place and how polite the people was. I'm really happy that I had the opportunity to witness God's beautiful creation through the place. I'm glad that I have a family that has respect for each other. I remembered the movie Lilo and Stitch when we were there. Stitch said, "Ohana means family, family means no one gets left behind."
