Mines View





Yeah~! It's Mines View! People rent costumes of the Ifugao people (I forgot what ethnicity) and people also take pictures of the city from the Mines View.

It's nice there though people aren't allowed to take pictures of the shops (which I almost did). Luckily, I didn't take the picture of the shops because my first subject was the signboard....and it read : "NO TAKING PICTURES HERE". Good thing it was my first subject..hehehe

Well, in the end, we took pictures and walked the 3 km path back to the camp.

The Greatest Part of Being in Baguio





Yeah...we're from the mountains and we come to a city in the northern part of the Philippine archipelago. What to expect from mountain people aka "tagabundoks"? Extravagant people are everywhere but the simple mountain people go high-ho like the seven dwarves in Snow White and the Seven Dwarves in a single pile while walking the streets of the cold city...hehehe~

BAGUIO Philippines!!!





It's been my second time in Luzon and it's been a long time ever since the last time I rode a plane to Luzon. It was a tough journey going there actually.

We're there for business of course. Because we survived the Regionals for STEP Techno Quiz, we made it to Baguio. It's still cold there though global warming has already been going on for years.

There were still a lot of conifers and greens. Strawberries actually taste quite sour but the jams taste great along with bread and pastries. We really loved the times we spent there away from the troubles and pressures from school. It's my last year in school SO I should spend this last year like I'd never be able to come back to high school. It's really cold there.
