the weekend that was nov 29-dec 2: overdue

We're going to Baguio!

Irvin and I are first timers so I'm happy to be in the company of friends who have been there a lot of times. We left the bus terminal at 12:45 AM, slept while travelling and woke up to the sight of the foggy, winding roads of the North. And then, I saw the "Welcome to Baguio" sign. Finally!

While waiting for that someone who will show us the way to the transient house we rented, we had breakfast at McDonald's first. And then, the hassle of waiting for our room…haaay! Grrr! Very disappointing, promise!

As soon as we got the chance to leave our bags safely, we proceeded with our Baguio tour (even if we have not taken a bath yet, so as not to waste our very precious time).

1st stop - Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes. Managed to say a short prayer in between heavy breathing after climbing 250+ steps.

2nd stop - Taw-awan Village. A small compound showcasing Igorot artworks and native houses. The smell of basil leaves invited us to have lunch there. The food is quite okay except for the mountain rice that doesn't look edible, hehehe, and it's quite expensive.

3rd stop - House. Bathtime!

4th stop - Baguio Botanical Garden. Being surrounded by a lot of flowers, a lot of photo opps!

5th stop - The Mansion. It's already dark so wala lang!

6th stop - Market. We already bought our pasalubongs. Vegetables are really cheap here!

7th stop - SM Baguio. Had our dinner at Don Hen. Brrrrr!

We then retired for the night. My plan is to close my eyes for a few secs, the next thing I knew is that Irvin wakes me up because I snore too loud. Hehehe! Thanks to Marie, Grace, JJ and Irvin for the breakfast (ako lang ang walang participation sa pag-prepare, pero sa pagkain, hindi nagpahuli). The water is sooooo cold. As in! (Promise!)

1st stop - Baguio (Our Lady of Atonement) Cathedral. We attended the mass and had picturetaking after.

2nd stop - PMA. We had fun posing with the tanks and other weapons of destruction :). We visited the museum, climbed a treehouse, walked and posed!

3rd stop - Mines View Park. We enjoyed the sweet corn! Andaming tao so konting picturetaking lang.

Uwian na! We returned to our very memorable house to pack our things up. Had lunch at McDo and waited at the Victory Liner Terminal. The bus left at 2:20 PM. All is well with the trip except for the kulang-sa-pansin guy in our front. He might be from a country where attention is inadequate, poor guy.

We were at the Pasay terminal at around 8 PM, took a cab and got off at SM Bacoor. Rest na.

Monday (National Heroes Day). We woke up early, we'll be going to Greenhills to buy…dyaraaaan!

Irvin liked it so much (or at least that's what I think…)

Dropped by the office to work for less than an hour. Had lunch at SM at bought some goodies for Ate.

Tuesday. Wasn't feeling well. Worked from home, thanks to the good souls who helped me out. Rest.
