the adventure of my life in Ü

according to my dear friend wiki..

The City of Baguio (Ilokano: Ciudad ti Baguio; Filipino: Lungsod ng Baguio) is a highly urbanized city in northern Luzon in the Philippines. Baguio City was established by Americans in 1900 at the site of an Ibaloi village known as Kafagway. Baguio City was designated by the Philippine Commission as the Summer Capital of the Philippines on June 1, 1903 and incorporated as a city by the Philippine Assembly on September 1, 1909. There is a presidential mansion, as well as supreme court and legislative offices in Baguio. Baguio is the seat of government of the Cordillera Administrative Region. The name of the city is derived from the word bagiw in Ibaloi, the indigenous language of the Benguet Region, meaning ‘moss’. The city is at an altitude of approximately 1500 meters (5100 ft) in a moist tropical pine forest conducive to the growth of mossy plants and orchids.

****oh well.

haha..yes! i have been wanting to go out of town since i started to go to work and school at the same time. you know.. to unwind, to rest and of course have fun. so ive been bugging my dear boyfriend to go out of town. and because he’s so great.. yes! we went to baguio, i was so excited since its going to be our first out of town trip and sa baguio pa! and so i went undertime para umabot kami sa 3am trip but unfortunately hindi. haha… so dito na nagstart ang adventure namin ni armani..

so there.. umpisa pa lang funny. pumunta kami sa ticket booth and then sabi nung babae 5am pa daw ang next trip. so syempre badtrip, kasi overnight lang naman kami sa baguio so sayang yung time diba. so we had no choice.. nag “CHANCE passengers” kami. ang COOOL! pumila kami and waited for the next trip which is at 4:30am. at eto mas cool…
lumapit samin yung guard na nagbabantay sa pila..

*EkSEna::

Manong GUard1: “Boss, gusto nyo singit ko na lang kayo?”
Bugsy: ” O sige, pano manong?”
Manong GUard1: “Basta diritsu na lang kayo dun sa pinto ng bus.,”

.. so we waited. si manong medyo parang humihirit ng
pang balentayms! haha
(AFTER 10 MINUTES)
[naglakad kami ni armani papunta sa bus..]

Bugsy: “Manong, okay na daw?”
Manong GuArd2: “Duon ang pila!!!”

[ahh keii.. sorry na manong.]

Grabe talaga natawa na lang kami. kasi sabi naman nito ni manong una okay na.. di pa naman pala.
haha mukha lang gago. anyway.. to make the scenario short. we took the 4:30am trip and ayun!
Hahaha.. as usual, bugsy was asleep sa buong byahe. hahaha

so we arrived at baguio ng 9:30am. my friend madie picked us up at the terminal. she lives in baguio kasi she studies at up. ayun. so malamang kabisado niya na yun. sinamahan niya kami to look for a place.. and it took us 2hours bago makahanap. hahahaah ang hirap kaya.. well sabi namin magtitipid kami pero dito din pala kami nauwi…

so.. since we were pagod sa travel plus the “hunt-for-a-place tp stay-in” pag dating namin sa room. ayun! plakda! haha.. we feel asleep. well of course, si bugs ang nauna. haha.. i watched pa the da vinci code then di ko namalayan na i fell asleep na pala. by 2pm we went out to feed ourselves. we ate at max’s in sm baguio. then took pictures, amazed with the “no aircon mall” haha a bit lang ha. hahaha

we went back to the hotel cause we felt a bit tired na din ulit. imagine i came from work pa then travelled 5 hours and a half to go to baguio. we woke up because we had to meet our friend lara.. di kami magkatagpo.. cause we had to pila pa sa metrobank to withdraw. sad to say it took as 30 minutes bago magawa yun dahil nag bug down sila for three days so na excite lahat ng tao mag withdraw, including yours trulyÜ haha.. at eto pa ha,, andami pang mga koreans na ke bobo sinabi ng di pdeng magwithdraw ng ibang card sa metro since inaayos pa yung system. anak ng.. oh well.. and so di namin nakita si lara cause they had to go somewhere ng mga kasama niya.. so niey and i went to camp john hay instead to eat dinner. we ate at carlo’s pizza. ang ganda.. sarap yung food. we ate pizza and drank beer.( woops. si niey lang pla nag beer and i drank iced tea since im still recovering from my gastritis. ) ayun.. we chatted or should i say talked. really talked. and i can say that for the times that weve been together that would be our REAL talk. he was able to share everything, including his pasts (f.yi. bugsy is really not the makwento type of guy. he doesnt want to kwento about his pasts nor mine. for him everything ends there. it should. and we should just all be quiet about it and keep it to ourselves.) i was able to know more about him, of what kind of guy he really was and is now. i cant say that i changed him cause i believe that its his choice to become better. at that time we were not just couples exchanging sweet nothings, we were also friends. friends who share their sentiments, their fears, heart aches. everything. and for that i salute my man. Ü

so after our little talk. we decided to go back to our hotel and ooh siomai! we forgot about lara.. haha so we picked her up sa sm baguio then we went to nevada. gmikan ata yun dun.. i forgot the place were we stayed but we had a great time. napag kamalan pa atang girl si bugs nung singer dun and so he flirted with us. [the singer] hahahaha.. after the night out, hinatid namin si lara then we went back to the hotel to sleep. we called it a day Ü

our second day.

FIRST STOP

this is the lakwatsa day, we woke up at around 6:30am, it was palm sunday. we went to the strawberry farm. i was freakin psyched about it! haha.. it shows in the pictures naman diba? haha we were supposed to pick strawberries but then parang kinuha na nilang lahat di nila ko tinirahan

SECOND STOP

we went to the cathedral to attend mass kaya lang di namin naumpisahan so umalis na lang muna kami tapos we decided na after na lang namin maglakwatsa. haha so we ate luch at kfc then went to the botanical garden. ive been to baguio for so many times but ive never been to this place. weird noh? as usual pictures.

THIRD STOP

after the botanical garden.. of course we went to good sheperd to buy the famous ube for our families. we were not able to take pictures here.. haha nahiya kami for no reason. then we walked down papunta sa next stop namin. we saw this cute hat and so my dear tried it on..

FOURTH STOP

minesview park. haha andaming jologs. oo. but still nothing can beat its view. its freakin awesome. asarin nyo pa ko.. but still i took landscape pictures of the view. aba.. walang paki elamanan camera ko naman yun eh. haha.. although it took me 2 hours bago maka baba dun sa mga bato bato. you see.. im acrophobic. haha.. pero ang pinaka kalaban talga namin ni bugs.. eh ang pag panik ulit sa taas. haha.. were really not “the-lets-go-hiking” type. we’d rather stay and eat. haha

FIFTH STOP.

the grotto. and so we loved it! we climbed the hundred steps of the grotto. penitensya namin yun for the holy week.. medyo sinumpa ako ng unti ni bugs but then di naman nya ko matitiis. haha

SIXTH and FINAL STOP

the cathedral. yes! we did it! naumpisahan namin and the mass was in english. wheew! kala talaga namin ilocano na maabutan namin. after the mass we had our rosaries blessed. then went to the bus terminal to buy our tickets na.

but something came up after we have bought our tickets.. me plans pa dapat kami.. but then………

we lost pot we dont know how he was stolen from us but bugsy was really devastated. huhu.. and of course ako din. but then maybe it was meant to happen. sabi nga nila ayos na daw yun kesa iba pa ang kapalt.

we arrived in manila at around 10 in the evening. i really had a great timea and i can say that this trip helped us to become more closer. i can say that this trip was the greatest adventure of my life so far cause i had a blast. i hope that when something beats this trip.. its still going to be with him. *:)
