at the famous Burnham Park in Baguio City I got my first digital camera (Brand: BenQ) in July 2006. And I named that 3mp cam "Ben" (isn't it obvious? lol) It was a gift from my brother on my 26th birthday. I've been travelling since I started working in 2002, but since my documentations decade ago were printed in some glossy/matte paper, so I cannot make a story out of those trips. Maybe it's about time to get a scanner just for those old stuff.
I woke up one morning and decided to make an online diary of my travels, about my love for running, food perhaps, my emo days, anything. Some random thoughts.
Browsing my travel folders, I found this Baguio trip back in 2006. I realized since I got "Ben" in July, 3 months after I took him to Baguio.
I attended some serious event; a convention for the young adults at church. I remember a typhoon hit the country that time but it didn't stop us from going to the convention. After all, that was for the Lord. Promise for the Lord, not an excuse for get-away *eyes rolling* (lol). Why would I be excited, it's my second time anyway; was in that famous city in 2004 with my grandmother (grin). And so this time with friends ... ah noooooo, bahalag bagyo larga ta! ^_^
In Manila, we were being ilad to an old taxi driver. I kinda forgot the story, basta It was something like not knowing where the Mall of Asia is located. So when we asked, "Manong, papuntang MOA ba ang daang to?", and he answered, "Sa MOA pala kayo? Nako, hindi ko alam papunta doon." And we were like, "hello manongggg ganiha ra kaha mig sakay2x nimo." And so we let him stop the cab and transfer to other taxi and he wanted us to pay him (the nerve!). That is MOA, and it's wayyy impossible that he would not know such place. It's like when you're in Cebu and the taxi driver will tell you he doesn't know SM or Ayala. Hay.

In MOA, trying to pakalma Ptr.Joseph, he's really pissed with the taxi driver. :D
We wanted to go up north at midnight. So we were just killing our time in MOA. Window shop. Eat. Take pictures. Tsika, tsika, and tsika and lots of tsika.
using theater lobby as tambayan
Wendys!
parang nasa bahay lang :D
bang! sleeping at the bus terminal! :D
early morning fog at APTS Arrived safely in Baguio, headed immediately to the Asia Pacific Theological Seminary for checked-in and convention registration. At the back of my mind, maybe this would be the best venue to find Mr. Right. Let's see if I got one :D But first let me take you to the awesome campus of APTS.
The convention was awesome. Powerful speakers, awesome venue, great crowd, relevant topics just made everything perfect. It was for the young adults with the theme Work in Progress encouraging all to bring God to their workplaces, how to deal pressures at work, setting good example, and doing all our best for the glory of God.
I forgot his name but I remember he was my favorite among the speakers when he talked about "The Beloved" which made me had the name "sister amen" :D
then my second favorite topic: Accepting Work as a Calling
So at the end of the 3-day convention, of course touring around Baguio came next in line. Let me take you to the summer capital of the country. We decided to wear our group t-shirt because we just really loved it ^_^
Baguio = Pine Trees :D
