Here I present you our rainy, foggy and chilly Baguio trip sample itinerary 'cause we owned it in our own way. Soon, I shall present to you more of Baguio... soon. :)) 

(AND THAT SOON IS NOW. HAHA. DAMING ALAM. BAGUIO TRIP OCTOBER 2015 LINK: HERE.)

I finally got to finish this year's series of Baguio posts because of today's holiday (and I've nothing to do but stay at home. Thanks to financial constraints that today is entirely a rest day): Eid-al-Adha (Feast of Sacrifice). Fyi, it is an Islamic festival to commemorate the willingness of Ibrahim to follow God's command to sacrifice his only son. 

This is the fourth time that I've gone to the "Summer Capital of the Philippines" but since my last was more than a decade ago, it felt like this trip was my first time going there. What is in Baguio? Where to go in Baguio? What are the things to do in Baguio?

It kept on raining in the afternoon and early evening so we had no choice but to scrap some outdoor plans. But then sometimes, while walking along the roads of Baguio City, I thought to myself that I like it there more during the rainy season. hahahahaha. Why? Because fog. Albeit some cancelled plans, it was so amazing to see a thick layer of fog blanketing everything in sight. I know that it can be dangerous especially for drivers and it can feel eerie but it was very relaxing and fascinating for me. The fog reminded me of Genting Highlands in Malaysia only better. Ohh, simple joys. 

EXPENSES:
NOTE: A three days and two nights Baguio City tour is possible with less than P 3,500.00 per person budget. 

Murang accommodation and food, lakad lang or jeep na lang kung magi-ikot-ikot. Tingin ko, pwede na sa P 3,500.00 lalo kung hindi bibili ng mga pasalubong. Mahalaga naman, nasa Baguio diba? Parks naman karamihan na andun. :)



P 545.00
One-way bus ticket from Cubao Terminal of Dagupan Bus Company
Travel Time: More or less 6 hours

P 300.00
Per person rate at Tuvera Transient House in DPS Area (with private bathroom)

P 600.00 (Rainy Season Promo)
Per person rate at Veniz Hotel with free breakfast buffet

P 30.00 and P 2.50
Current taxi flag down rate in Baguio and rate for every additional x meters.
Of the three days that we stayed there, we only rode a jeepney twice and the other was because the taxi driver we (Okay, I!) made pa-cute to in hopes that he'll take pity and drive us back to our hotel didn't even bother to prioritize business over his friends. Aside from riding a taxi, we walked around a lot which makes perfect sense because we ate a lot and it was actually fun walking around there. While taxis are the reason why I don't know the jeepney routes, walking is the reason why I became more familiar with the places and roads. As in seryoso 'to, may instant connection kami ng kalsada. Wala 'yung pakiramdam na nawawala kami kahit di namin alam kung tamang direksyon ba 'yung nilalakaran. Hahahahaha.

Foggy skyline of Baguio
After Under the Tree Book Cafe, we passed by Baguio Cathedral.
At the moment we stepped on the gate of the cathedral, the fog started blanketing the view again.

 Hayyy, we're about to leave Baguio after an hour. Goodbye, fog... -_-
Baguio Cathedral On-going Mass
Our Lady of Atonement / Baguio Cathedral

After this Cathedral, we started walking again because we had to go back to Hotel Veniz. Since we already have a cognitive map of Baguio in our mind, we just walked until we reached Session Road and then when we were already near Hotel Veniz, we took the long cut so we could pass by Burnham Park again. 
Burnham Park Sign
Burnham Park is at the heart of Baguio and is considered as the "Mother of all Parks" in the Summer Capital of the Philippines.
Foggy Burnham Park
Fog at Burnham Park
Unlike our first day when it rained so hard, Burnham Park was just foggy that afternoon. Thick fog that is but tourists were enjoying themselves nonetheless. That's the allure of Baguio anyway. Maka-refer sa ibang tao as tourists, e noh? Locals kasi kami. Haha.
I don't watch American series but my friend said that this place was like a scene taken out from the Walking Dead. 

This is what Burnham Park looks like on a foggy afternoon. Personally, it's dreamy more than eerie. 
Last picture before going back to our hotel, before leaving the Summer Capital of the Philippines... :))
We rode a taxi to the terminal of Victory Liner only to find out that the ETD of the tickets they were selling was at 2AM. It's not like we have the time and the money to lengthen our stay so we decided to take chances and walked to Dagupan Bus Terminal to check. 
Thick fog at SM Baguio. Grabe... <3 Weird ko. Hahaha.
From Victory Liner, we walked (directionless. kahit saan. walang tanong-tanong kung nasa tamang lugar ba kami) until we reached SM. As what I've mentioned in one of my last post, finding the way to a place was easier for me if I use SM Baguio as my starting point.


And there, our bus left at 6 PM which was just in time to catch the sunset while driving down the zigzag and picturesque road of Kennon.

Must find a place along Kennon Road to see the sunset once again when we go back to Baguio someday. Haaaay.

This is the end of our Baguio 2014. :))
HOPIA like it.

Anyare sa September?
Bakit bigla na lang siyang nawala? Kakasabi ko lang na gusto kong maging fruitful 'yung September ko eh pero parang wala. Ang bilis!! Anyway, I believe that October will be a lot better in all aspects of my life. Claim lang ng claim!! Huhubells. Claim lang ng claim!!!! (Ano pinaglalaban ko ba? haha)


Life has its special way of surprising people by making (good) things happen all at once. 

By the time you're reading this, I've already edited out the part where I wrote about that something which is supposed to be this month's highlight. It's so crazy how I spent weeks waiting for a news then a day after I decided to stop keeping my hopes up and to just do something else, the news arrived leaving me with no other choice but to "give-up" other things for it. Huhuhu. But it's not everytime that I'm torn about my decisions so I'm still being grateful and hopeful that nothing else goes wrong and nothing else adds to this heartbreak I am sort of experiencing now. Wag naman sabay-sabay please. Life, don't make me choose among the good things. Proper time management naman oh! Claim lang ng claim!!!! At ic-claim din na naka-spread out 'yung mac-claim pls. Ang hirap pag sabay-sabay.

Haaay. I've been uneasy since my mind is so preoccupied with needless worrying but I... huhuhu. Shems, lahat ng bagay kayang gawan ng paraan! huhuhuhu

...

Isang taon na simula nung nawalan kami ng kasambahay and it has been a year since I started washing plates after we eat, organizing my closet, etc. You see, even if I don't belong to an affluent family, we've had a maid to do household chores for us eversince we were young. But it's hard to trust anybody  these days so we decided that we are better off not having one. 

Those times when I am washing plates, I just couldn't help but think of all the days I spent doing nothing but eat and leave all the used plates in the table for another person to wash.

Buti na lang, change is constant and by undergoing these changes, you learn a thing or two. We all know that life's series of having and not having, of moving and not moving, of loving and hating (maisingit lang!). I failed to appreciate the comfort I had until I lost it. During the first months, kulang na lang pakainin ko sila sa dahon ng saging para lang wala akong hugasan but now I am more than glad to wash used dishes and kitchen utensils because of the fact that I CAN. Having the ability to do something is worth a celebration in itself, diba? K na lang. K. 'Yan, pero wag kang judgmental kasi baka sabihin mo ang babaw ko. May kanya-kanya naman tayong pinagdaanan kaya hayaan mo na e sa ito 'yung gusto kong sabihin. Ang sungit ko. Hahahaha.

Thing here is, we all have a person who makes our lives easier so now that it isn't late, be grateful to him/her.


When you have things to do (a lot of things to do), you appreciate your idle moments.
When you have nothing to do, you appreciate your busy days. 
Haaay, life. Wala ka na bang iko-komplikado?

 Whatever situation we're in, let's always remember to live our lives with gratitude.


Surprise me, October. :)
EDIT: Your suprise on your first day was a real shocker that I was kind of upset but I'm hoping for more, October. KERI!!! :)))
