Laiya 2007

********

It's summer once again....! Time to head on to the beach...

I'm not really a beach person. I prefer forests and mountains. Don't get me wrong .. ayokong tumira sa forest. But if I had to choose among the three places, the beach would be the last place I would choose. Why am I not a big beach person? Hot sand. Maalat na tubig. Sticky wet hair. Sunburn. Sharks! At mga bilbil na nakalaylay sa swimming trunks or two pice bathing suits. Hehe. Meron din ako nyan. My main reason is ..... di pala ako marunong lumangoy....! So, no....I don't hum to Sandwich's song that goes ... "i just wanna be on the beach!".. I do love the band, but that's another story.

Everry summer, however, I get to go to a resort or beach for our company outing. I try to make the most of it.... try to appreciate the view..... Last year we went to Laiya Batangas.

I can't comment much on how salty the water was but I can share some pictures of the view.

Wouldn’t you love to walk on the beach with this view while listening to your favorite summer songs on the background? My personal favorites are listed down below:

I just hope we realize how beautiful our beaches are and be responsible enough to preserve them.

Walang ganyan sa States..!
