I swear I had no idea when I said YES to the trip to Baguio that it was for Panagbenga 2008, much to my surprise! Just in time with the Nursing Board's release. While having my feet done Ate was overjoyed with the results of the exam. She passed the board, finally! And so I oferred to treat her to Baguio City. I was going there anyway and travelling single. *Without much ado, Paul, She, Ate and I went to Baguio Friday afternoon (Feb 22) via the 2pm Victory Liner trip. The travel was a bit gruesome at 7 hrs arriving Baguio at past 9pm. My back ached! It was biting cold. Yes, the gush of wind was seeping through my bones, trembling. My thin frame was shaking and looking for the warmth of another human. *We stopped at Mocha Blends to have coffee while waiting for the ride to Paul's house. To my surprise someone called Pau saying that there was a dare for a meet-and-greet thing. Pau's "Boo" was there too! Another boylet in the making! Pau's place was a 15-20 minute drive away from town. The place is called IRISAN. *Noteworthy was Pau's handsome teen-age brother Tadj. I didn't have his pic though. Bad. Sinalubong nya si "ate." How sweet. I fell inlove. Love-at-first-sight. *We went out the following day, Saturday, and watched the Parade. I ate strawberry taho to which I suspected as the culprit for my sore throat that lasted until I arrived Manila without any relief. Same day we went to Strawberry Farm. The vendors know how to appease customers. Ako nga binola na nagpa-rebond eh! The stalls are right along the way and the items from all sorts are cheap. Of course, all Baguio. *Wasn't really feeling well any longer. Had to buy medicines and gargle too often. Drink lotsa water. Until the following day came I had to shift medicines to antihistamine for my Allergic Rhinitis. Until I arrived Manila not feeling relieved at all. I had my Doctor's call this morning. We shifted to another medicine. *Anyway, we also stopped at SM Baguio (the loft area was great). Dined at ZOLA. Had the chance to eat at a posh Japanese Resto (Emperor's Court, parang kainan sa loob ng motel). Drank at Ala Carte Grill and Bar. Sang at Red Lion (Legarda). Filled our tanks at CALTEX Cafe.
*At Red Lion the room was co-occupied by screaming mommas! They were wild like Pros. Old as they look. Pero maasim.
*My savings ATM Card was lost. So I ran into a dilemma of cash shortage and had to resort to choosing places to dine and unwind that accepts the credit card. While Ate was a victim of pick-pocket loosing her MENTOS, hahaha. *Pau was unbelievable. He had 2 men going gaggah over HIM. Samantalang nilangaw ang beauty ko. HE was too busy with HIS men that we barely had time to rampa! Unlike Juno who has a world of his own, I am not crazy! Ask Pau about Mokz and Jojit. See the pics! Grabe! Pinagaagawan sya ng isang PILAY at isang BI. May rhyme pa! *We missed watching the floral parade coz (1) they were busy drinking the night before until early morning ( I went home ahead to rest) and (2) it was raining! Oh we have been drinking every night pala. And they were drinking heavily. I had to rest. *The weather was really cold! Imagine fog at ground zero during noon!
*Baguio was simply CROWDED specially Session Rd. Seem like Baguio was so small that it was ONLY Session Rd that people know of.
*Taking panoramic pictures is one of the best things you can do in Baguio. I just didn't have the right camera for that though and barely had training on how to get these pictures with the right exposures.
*Before leaving they served Pinekpekan, hahaha. Kidding. Don't know how they spell it!
*Leg room of the bus going back to Manila was cramped. Seats were closer compared to the previous bus but the ride was faster at 5 hrs.
