We didn't get to walk around much due to the storm. Larry and I stayed at the Blue Mountain hotel most, watching 90's Tagalog flicks like Gagay: Prinsesa ng Brownout and GNN Channel 4: Kabuhayan Special (How to make Chicharon). If we're not at the hotel, you can see us strolling around SM Baguio, drinking at Starbucks like pros.
What I loved most about the trip was the food. Volante and Sizzling Steak were nom! Also, the taxi drivers were super nice. If the fare was 47.00 and you gave 50 bucks, they will still give you the three peso change! Metro Manila drivers suck compared to these local heroes.
I really enjoyed Baguio. I think I enjoyed it too much --- that I am now thinking of moving there for good. The weather was wonderful, even if there was a storm. I went crazy for scarves and trench coats (from the pictures, it's pretty obvious). CRAZY I TELL YA.
I cried upon arriving in Manila. It was like the real world was screaming, "WELCOME BACK TO HELL MOTHAFUCKAZ!" Another long weekend, please?

ReplyDeleteyou shouldve tried don hen too, iba ang don hen sa baguio at sa manila. wayyyyy different...

i would recommend klatsch but then again it wasnt the same as it was when i was still there. or the bencab museum, and be artsy fartsy. damn i miss baguio.
you couldve gone to up rin to take a stroll, our school's nice :)
Cool (literally)! I didn't think it would be THAT cold in Baguio that you'd be able to wear scarves (although maybe it was the storm too)!
ReplyDeleteAnd I must say "wow" to those taxi drivers! Bad trip mag-taxi dito sa Maynila. >_> Pfft.
@ayz I'll be back with a vengeance! LOL Can't wait to go around Baguio proper!
ReplyDelete@Claire I was freezing. Also, I needed an excuse to wear scarves. Fumafashion. Hahahaha
ReplyDeleteI love Baguio, too! Because I studied there for about two years (before transferring campus at UP Dil) and because my boyfriend lives there hehehe Nakakainlab talaga Baguio
ReplyDeleteMarami ka pang mapupuntahan dyaaaan! AND I know where the ukays are cheap

ReplyDelete@Len, let's go back to baguio!!! i miss UPBAguio. These pictures make me miss baguio moooore :(
ReplyDeleteYou should've tried the Pesto in Volante! And yes, there are cheaper Ukay places there. The one where you went to(I'm assuming) in the photo, which is Skyway sells expensive goods.
ReplyDeleteWhen are you going back? :3
ReplyDeleteI shall show you my secret Ukay spots when u and Larry come back!
ReplyDeleteDid you guys try out 50's Diner? You should've! Great service, great food, huge servings. Mura-ish din!
ReplyDelete@Luigi: We didn't kasi it was raining hard. :( Next time!
ReplyDeleteHi Tin! How did you find Blue Mountain? Will you recommend it? We're thinking of staying there this December, but we're having second thoughts... Your feedback will be very helpful. Thanks! =) - Cath
