Revisiting the City of Pines - Baguio 2013
2013 has been so far
very very good to me. Juggling work and
making my mom and dad happy is not really that difficult. It has been a promise
upon starting this year that I will spend more time with ma and pa and will
find ways to have short trips with them. I know it’s a little far off since
this year started but we finally had our first (definitely not the last) family
trip this year.
I was indeed blessed
to have started this good year working for a new company. That alone is so much
of a grace and it was definitely followed by so much more things that I have
been aspiring for a long time now. God has been so good to me and one way of
saying thanks is to return the blessings
He has been giving me by making my mom and dad happy. This trip I hope
gave the things that my parents deserve, and that is to relax and enjoy simple
pleasures in life. As a birthday present
to my mom (her birthday by the way is July 23), we decided to have a short
Baguio vacation.

Visiting Baguio
after so many years had been fantastic for me and parents. It was pure
nostalgia in almost everywhere we go. We
spend a lot of summers in Baguio for short vacations when I was a little girl.
Visiting Burnham Park, Mine's view Park, Botanical Gardens, The Mansion and
Wright Park has always been delighting as a child. Though we haven't really
visited all of those, we still get to revisit some of those memorable place and
then some.

Mom and dad loves to
eat and I totally got ecstatic as soon as I realized that I am the one whose
going to prepare the itinerary for this trip. Our focus: FOOD!!!

For this Baguio
Getaway Series, I will be featuring some food spots in the summer capital of
the Philippines:
I will also share a
quiet little boutique hotel in Baguio:
And my visits to
some cool places in the city:
It was indeed a fab
time with ma and pa. Plus the fact that the visit to Baguio also gave me the
opportunity to see a good old friend and her hubby's art gallery. I will
definitely be back there in no time. :)
Enjoy the posts and
please feel free to share other awesome places to visit in Baguio. I do know
that I have yet to explore the entirety of the place but hey, Baguio is just a
few hours away from Manila and now that I have somehow familiarized myself around,
I'm betting that my visit to this fantastic place would be frequent.
