Baguio 2015


Can't exactly remember the last time I went to Baguio but I know it's been more than 5 years!
Anyway, this photo was taken from the balcony of our transient house! Bella <3





We took the overnight trip of Victory liner bus from their Pasay terminal.
The ride lasted for 6 hours and costs P460, one way :)

Once you arrive in the city, you would notice the picturesque Microtel Baguio beside the terminal!
so lovely <3




Thank you so much!haha




Obligatory shot at Session Road.




First meal is at Good Taste and yes, their food really tastes good lol




Since there were only 2 of us, (our other buddies decided to catch up on their sleep) we decided to get the rice toppings.

Got the Lechon Brocolli and my friend ordered the Beef Brocolli both priced at P95.
Good deal right? and just look at the serving size!



Ordered some take away too.
Chocolate muffin, yema cake and chocolate mousse.
All priced at P25-30! omg O_O




Strolled around Burnham Park, ate mangga along the way and bought some caps/hats(not in picture) for P150 each hehe




When our buddies have woken up, we went straight to Camp John Hay for some photo ops LOL




I'll def try to book here next time!! such a beautiful place <3



into the woods...





A trip to Baguio won't be complete without visiting the Strawberry Farm in La Trinidad.
It's a 20 minute taxi ride from the city center and would cost you around P70



Strawberry picking on the other hand costs P350 for 1kg worth of strawberries.
I suggest you split this with a friend so you could save your budget.





Oh the joy of harvesting! LOL




♪ ♫ strawberry fields forever ♪ ♫ nyahaha






emote emote~



our harvest divided into 3 hehe!



If you're not so keen on spending P350 on strawberries, you could just opt for the ones on the stand.
Much cheaper at P170 for 1kilo :)

They also sell assorted vegetables, 3kg for P100!
Romaine is at P50 for a bundle of three.



Aside from strawberry jams and wines, there's also a strawberry love potion!!!
haha wow!



Once you're finished shopping, cool down with some strawberry ice cream P20




or a hearty strawberry taho P30



and what do you know, there's also a grape taho!! P20
(got this at the entrance of Good Shepherd tho)




For some good sight-seeing, head on to Mines View Park.








You could take a photo with this popular St. Bernard at Mines View too.
*Good Shepherd is near Mines View so do drop by for some ube jam or alfajor for pasalubong!




Another combo you could do is visit The Mansion and..


Wright Park! they're just opposite to each other. Very very convenient.




Lastly for some good relaxation, do some boating at Burnham Park!
P100 for 30mins ;)

Panagbenga 2015



Even though I've been to Baguio several times already, this is my first time to witness the Panagbenga Festival!
Finally! time to tick this off my bucket list <3




We went during the weekend of Feb 28-March 1 for the street dance and grand float parade!




it was really beautiful!
The costumes were so bright and colorful




Plus all the participants were really enthusiastic despite the heat and (I assume) the pain from the high heeled boots some girls were wearing LOL




Surprised to see some students wearing bahag!
talk about dedication, WOW!




We didn't see the actual "float parade" because we went to the strawberry farm and consumed much time there haha
When we got back though, we were so lucky to catch the floats parked in an open field YAY




This is waaay better than watching the parade since we can go near the float and even take a selfie!




But in our case, we got the chance to go on top of the float!
hahahaha feeling VIP!





tropical paradise theme maybe?




surfer dude hehe




Hogwarts train express?nyahaha








The ferris wheel was actually moving on this one! how cute <3








looking at the floats closely, you can't help but think of wanting to get those flowers attached on it!hehe








Out of all the floats, this was my favorite <3
