Finding my spirits at Sitio Biga, Laiya

Last weekend was a really happy one for me and my family. We finally got out of the house and off to parts unknown... And the destination?



Sitio Biga, San Juan, Laiya, Batangas.

 

I have been feeling restless lately, to be honest. My spirits have been down, and I am currently fighting my life's biggest enemy- procrastination. I can't really get my muse for writing to work with me lately, and I just wanted an escape.





Turns out- all I needed was a bit of true family time. A time away from all of the worldly things tying us to the ground like the internet and heavy work schedules and generally, the negative stress emanating from the house I live in. And now, I'm very much excited to get myself out of this funk. :D







There are lots of wonderful places to check out in my own hometown province, as I am once a resident of Lipa in my childhood. But this will be the first time that I went a bit father south. The place itself is very pristine, and I personally liked it much better than the over the top resorts that I usually see and have come to.



Do take note that when you get here in Sitio Biga, Laiya, what will welcome you are smooth stones and corals, and some patches of not-so-fine sand and massive rock formations. Things to do here in Sitio Biga are banana boat riding, flying fish riding, renting out the water skis, snorkeling and visiting coral reefs. :)





We just rented out a couple of tables with a roof over our heads, and a big ass jeepney that's enough to bring all of our family of 40+ (including kids :D ). And of course, since a jeepney can only accomodate up to 20 adults usually, we also brought a couple more cars to accomodate.



And my parents and titos and titas brought lots of food enough to feed the Laloon Army. XD



Life is definitely good for me at the present. Now, after having saved myself out of the negativity emanating around me, and fighting off the laziness, I'm ready to face the world again. But for sure, I'm definitely coming back to check out the Laiya Rock Formations and Mt. Daguldol :)



Next up on the list: More food and beauty reviews, and an update on my next great adventure! :D

The place where we stayed had no entrance fee by the way, and we only paid for the cottage which ranges from 2000+ to 4500, depending if you're up for the tables only(1500 per long table), or if you want to get one with actual rooms. The Banana Boat rental, Jet Ski and Flying fish are at a standard of 2500, per 30 mins up to an hour, and you can always work your bargaining charm at play if you want to get a better price :)
