I can’t fully express the depth and urgency of my need to travel and get away from the city. Work has been a cause of my sadness and stress for the past months. It went from bad to worse just a few weeks ago when the timetable plus all the tasks just weighed down on my heavily.
I asked Daniel, the man I’m praying for/with, if it would be possible to schedule an out of town getaway just for a change in environment. We were blessed to be allowed and trusted by our parents to go out on a day tour in one of the famous stretches of beaches in the Philippines – Laiya, Batangas.
It was raining almost all week that I prayed so much and asked ADONAI to favor us with a clear, sunny weather. We were truly grateful for the sun, which wasn’t too scorching hot on our backs, the breeze that kept us cool, and the friendly staff of La Luz Resort. As a bonus, all the food served were kosher and it was a lunch and snack buffet. Happy tummies for Eeay and Daniel!
Since it was Shabbat, we made sure to read and study about the parashah. So imagine while reading and discussing about Mattot, there was a cool breeze and the sound of lapping waves to soothe us. I have to be honest though, work and business kind of bothered us during this short vacation. Daniel did not get to do one important task that caused his client to call him on that day. I, on the other hand, could not resist to take product shots of my barefoot sandals since this is a beach!
So here you go, a few shots of my short vacation at La Luz Resort, Laiya San Juan, Batangas. Click each of them to see what I was up to yesterday.
