I am on Vacation Leave, and it was scorchingly hot in Manila! I wanted to go somewhere new where I can relax and just have a cool time! So I decided to go to………BAGUIO! The Summer Capital of Philippines. We took a ride thru Victory Liner Bus and the ticket costs Php 450. Throughout the trip we had a series of stop overs on our way so that we could go use the Comfort Room. The thing is all of them need payments. Tsk. I was really shocked. And the foods that they were selling were pricey compared to those sold in Manila.
We arrived in Baguio around 12 Midnight and it was really cold! The trip took about 6 hours! I thought it would take longer! =]

On the third day, we went to MinesView Park. Sadly my phone got stolen today, I was a bit off at first, but then just managed to enjoy the rest of the trip. I had no choice, I had to be happy and I had to enjoy despite the fact that I lost my beloved black 9780.
