Baguio at 12 C

2 weeks before the Panagbenga, we have decided to went north again to experience the coldest weather Philippines could ever have! The past few days, wala nang laman ang balita kung di kung gaano kalamig ang  whether dito sa Manila or ibang part ng bansa thus we have immediately packed our things and looked for a hotel to stay in in Baguio.

Unfortunately, we were pressed out of time and I cant find any cheap hotels kasi fully booked na lahat. Rami atang tao ang umakyat din sa Baguio! hahahah!

I was able to book a 1 night (Sunday) on Hotel Veniz and good thing my bf' former officemate's sister still has a free room in Trinidad ready to be rented for visitors. hay... thank you Lord!

We were welcomed with 12 degrees temp, It was freaking cold! No, it's super freaking cold!!

Below are the photos of Hotel Veniz, we rented the Standard Queen size bedroom since that's the only one available. No choice kumbaga.. 1700 with free buffet breakfast for two. (Note: I didnt enjoy the breakfast buffet, very limited choices or baka late lang kami bumaba nun, mga 9am.) They serve  their free breakfast meal from 6am-10am.

There's a designated wifi connection on each floor so medyo mabilis sa lobby of each floor, un lang pagdating namin sa room, weak na un signal. They gave us the room na malapit sa lobby so rinig na rinig din namin un mga ingay ng mga dumadaan.. no window din.. :( So di namin namalayan na 9am na pala nun gumising kami kasi madilim pa.. hahahaha!
But I would like to commend the staff, they are so nice.. Okay din un room itself, malinis sia in fairness.











The last time we went to Baguio, nag food trip lang kami.. Sarap kaya kumain ng mga fresh na gulay dito. Lakas maka healthy healthyhan ang peg. haha!

This time, nag libot libot na talaga kami!

We went to Ben Cab Museum, Tanawan village and Camp John Hay.





more flowers more fun!










lunch out at Cafe Batirol - it's a taxi ride from the entrance of Camp John Hay... you may walk your way there but its kinda far.













After Camp John Hay, we went to Tan awan Village

Aquria, Playa Calatagan

Image
It's a long weekend na naman, kaya we have decided to lay down on the sand under the sun. My skin is still tanned and havent been recovered from yesterday's outing with my family in Lipa and yet again we have this biglaang lakad. We went to Aquaria last Sunday as we thought that we would be able to enjoy the solemnity of the place but I was wrong. Forgot that since it's a long weekend, a lot of people will be on leave as well and will rush to the beach for the last few weeks of summer. We didnt bring a car for I wanted to learn how to commute to Calatagan  (sometimes it better if youre lost - that's my fav tagline) and I also thought that it is just a piece of cake since we will be coming from Batangas. BUT I WAS WRONG! PLEASE WAG NIO KAMI GAYANIN! hahaha! Since we came from Batangas, we had a hard time looking for a route going to Calatagan. Unlike those that will be coming from Manila, I think there's a direct route going to Calatagan. As per my res...

TAAL BASILICA

hmmm... Im from Batangas  that's why I always have the chance to go to the Asia's oldest church which is St. Martin de Tours of Taal... but one day my boyfie and I decided to climb at the Tore of Taal church.. at first I didnt like my bf's idea since Im really afraid of heights but we still decided to try it just for the heck of adventure.. twas creepy, I mean the way up.. coz its too old, too dark and the old stonewalls look like weak and will break anytime! I heard some bats as well and the smell wasn't that nice.. but definitely the view from top was indeed breath taking! You can see the entire city of Taal, the market and the Municipality. Its kinda windy as well so its not really advisable to stay that long since it doesnt have fences. Before you can go there, you need to visit the main office so they could have you assisted by their guards or sakristan since it's not really safe. Then a little donation wont hurt your pocket, I guess. We gave 50 pes...

Image
Hiyaaahh!! It's ber month and Im back on backpacking and beaching mode! Oh yeah, nobody cant stop me from exploring every niche of the PI.. :p   This time, I went to Northern Mindanao with my solemate and his friends. First, we went CDO for the white water rafting - see next blog. The morning after, we went straight to Camiguin. From Cagayan de Oro, we went to Agora Market Terminal to catch the first trip to  Balingoan Bus Terminal. From Balingoan terminal we took a tricycle (10pesos each)  to the ferry terminal bound to Port of Benoni in Camiguin. Fare is 170 PHP / Terminal fee is 2.50pesos and travel time is 1 hour - 1 and 45mins (depends if it is a fast craft or not)  The 5am ferry that we took was not! We arrived  Port of Benoni at 6:45am :(  Recap: Cagayan de Oro  to  Agora Market Terminal (Bus bound to Butuan) Bus to Balingonan Bus Terminal    Ferry to Port of Benoni Camiguin Sunris...
