Finding Solidarity at Tomodachi Beach Resort
I recently had an enjoyable "me time" at Lian, Batangas in my new-found gem in the south, simple, but the water is pristine, the locales are friendly and most of all, it's safe even if you stay alone.
Tomodachi Beach Resort offers Native Nipa Huts Accommodation good for big family reunions, barkada outings, or team buildings. It offers a beautiful sunset and a long stretch of shoreline. Though the sand in Brgy. San Diego Lian, Batangas is naturally grey, I can assure you that the water is 100% clean. 
I arrived at the resort in the afternoon, and while the sun was too high, I took advantage of it to work and eat lunch. At around 5PM, the water seems very calm. I went to the beach with my newfound locale friends.
The sunset was so nice! The water was warm and very calm. It's exactly what I needed, realizing that like the sunset, beautiful things come and leave so quickly, it will mesmerize you for a moment, and if you are not quick enough to appreciate the beautiful things in life, you might not enjoy them until they're gone.
The resort has a restroom, kitchen (where you can bring food to cook), open pavilion, three native nipa huts with bunk beds, and a dining area. The whole area can accommodate 15 to 20 people.
Although there is no electricity in the area, the resort is well-lit, with solar lights in every corner.
Their water resource for bathing and washing comes from a manual water pump, well I can say that I enjoyed pumping the post, nothing beats hard work for your own pail of water.
At night, you will hear nothing but the clash of water to the shore, and the cool sea breeze. I went out of my hut to gaze at the stars, I can't imagine how big the world is, and what a waste if people dwell on negativities. Alone time is enjoyable, and finding some balance and peace of mind. That night, I slept with peace in my heart, remembering that above anything else, I love myself, I appreciate myself, and I value myself because no one can pour from an empty cup.
I woke up early the next morning to witness the sunrise. I walked a little in the barangay and on the beach. I appreciate how simple yet happy the lives of the people there are. It may be very far from how I live my life, but living in this beautiful place is a treasure. I even stumbled on one of the caretaker's houses, and we had a little chit-chat about their life. I was amazed by her story, that she and her husband had been waiting for 13 years to have a child, yet after long years they were blessed with twins, a boy, and a girl. I realized that miracles come to those who have faith in Him.
Some fishermen offer freshly caught fish, lobster, and squid. Unfortunately, I could not buy any of them because I did not bring a cooler. So, when you come here, it's advisable to bring one so you can take advantage of the cheaper price of fresh seafood.
Until it was time to go home. But I had a great time, carrying home peace with me and hope that no matter what life brings, I just have to be brave and let God.
My overall experience? 5/5. Cleanliness of the place, easy transaction, proximity of the place, safety, and peace.
Thank you Tomodachi Beach Resort and to the management who quickly responded to my message.
