Baguio: 2nd Leg of Roadtrip

Posted by girlie on April 16, 2010

It wasn’t as cold, but colder than Manila’s 38, so I couldn’t complain more. It gets colder though in the early mornings and late evenings. It took us 4 hours to get to Baguio from Bataan (Subic) again via SCTEX (no Noynoy controversy here). Traffic was somewhat heavy because it was a long weekend. You know how it is when it’s a long weekend here in the Philippines, everyone goes to their fave destinations. First thing we did when we got there was to check Ukay-Ukay coz Ish wanted to own a leather jacket. I told her that she wouldn’t be needing it actually so she should not spend a fortune for it (she was considering buying either at Zara or Mango). I was the one who suggested to get it instead in Ukay. Success! But we found it the following day though when we really spent time going through all the stuff, coughing along the way. We got a few things too, she found 2 bags (not branded but pure leather or should I say of good material) and I found a cute bag too (rabeanco) in the color that I really really love. Nope we haven’t worn or used it yet coz we needed to airdry (whatever it’s called) it out in the sun. I think I’d make a separate post for our Ukay finds.

Anyway, Baguio was fun. All we did was walk and eat and sleep. We didn’t bother going around since it was the nth time that we’ve been there. Burnham Park couldn’t be skipped though coz the kids want to go biking, and of course no one misses going to Burnham without riding the boat. Hhhmmm what else did we do? Oh did I mention that we ate? Haha, I gained back the pounds that I lost even if we walked a lot, do I need to tell you why? Dang the good food that MIL fed us.

We enjoyed this once in a lifetime bonding, it does not happen everyday you know. We are all thankful that my MIL thought of bringing us together and have fun. This was her way of celebrating her 68th birthday instead of having a grand celebration. Well this is a grand celebration in itself since she spent a fortune too having 19 persons (drivers and yayas included) in the whole entourage. Fun, fun, fun!
