in Lazi Convent or San Isidore Convent, Siquijor Island

wearing vintage/thrifted/second hand romper; world balance walking shoes bought from cebu city I've had in forever, it's literally falling apart. haha; a snapback from a cousin's barbershop business in the US; and random jewellery from everywhere.

This place is always so picturesque. The running and walking space here is so huge you can totally do somersaults in the open field and no one would care...except...don't. It's, well, a church after all and they hold masses here daily and on Sundays.

I have always been the most curious about this place when I was last in Siquijor Island. The last time I visited was way back 2013 with a close friend and dorm mate in Dumaguete City. And now that I've been to this place, the San Isidro Labrador Parish and Convent or the Lazi Convent for short, all I can say is...WOW. This place is such a good place for shoots and more. Plus, if they opened this one to people who like to picnic, all you need to do is lay a blanket of sorts on top of the grassy soil and you're good to go. If you're not allowed to picnic and sunbathe this way, then there are other things to do here.

Lazi Convent has a museum at the second floor and the grounds you can see from there is just as beautiful. Museum entrance fee is only 20 Php per person. REAAALLLYYY CHEAP and just incredibly affordable. There are also some places to sit in inside, of course. 

More photos of the place especially what's inside it to name a few places we went to during this Siquijor trip can be viewed in the next post.

By the way, this romper will be on sale in the instagram shop one day soon! Well, it'll be in a few weeks, of course. Once all the photos for the items when worn have been taken. Also, the romper is a really well-made one that's an Italian brand! A really cool find from one of the thrift stores I frequent here in my city of Cagayan de Oro. Some parts of it have faded but it's still so beautiful as a whole! It's a perfect summer piece to wear in this hot weather! I just love how this looks and feels comfortable although it's a bit small on me.
