BAGUIO BOUND

Here are some photos of my family’s trip to Baguio while in the Philippines!

My nieces: Isa in the back and little Gabby in the front at the Filling Station inside Camp John Hay.

fish and chips and curly fries

The Ultimate Cheeseburger was not very ultimate. I don’t have a liking for us Filipinos’ habit of making everything taste sweet, heh.

WE UP IN THE WOODS. My nephew Jared Leto as in yes, he is named after the actor/singer.

At SM Baguio’s Shakey’s.

Before we drove back to Pangasinan, we stopped by a fruit and vegetable stand(s). My aunt picking out avocados!

I have no idea what those are called but I hear they’re pretty sour!

Miss ya, Ma! Let us also take note of the AA hoodie. Paired with that Chanel logo necklace! 😉

I love peanut brittle. I could finish a whole jar in one day.

Gabby looking at different flavoured pastillas, also one of my favourites!

Jeepney

The fog after the rain.

Fried fish known as pingka.

I arrived back in California last Thursday. Sleeping schedule isn’t cool, but I moved to a different house with a good-looking room. I have about two weeks of summer left! School starts and that only means fall and winter are just days away!

CALERUEGA CHURCH, BATANGAS

We visited the church where my Uncle and Aunt renewed their vows. The Caleruega Church sits atop a mountain that overlooks beautiful valleys and hills of Batangas. There are many pathways that weave in and out of gardens. It’s a very serene and solemn place; perfect for church events or just to get away from all the ruckus the city brings.

MABUHAY VOLUME ONE

Hello all! As some of you may know, I left California last Thursday to officially start my summer vacation. 15 hours in the air and I arrived in the Philippines Saturday morning. My uncle, cousin and I got our tourism on yesterday (Sunday). We took a trip to Tagaytay City! Here are some Hipstamatic pictures since I didn’t want to bring out my camera in the rain.

My cousin, Ate K at Leslie’s.

After the sky cleared of fog, we could finally see the Taal volcano (on the right!).

Then some lady brought her Daschund sporting a dress with the Brazilian flag on it.

In the afternoon, we went to Bag of Beans and I ordered this delicious Apple Pie a la mode.

In the middle of the day, we visited Caleruega but I will save those photos in another post! Today I am probably visiting the Alabang Town Center and tomorrow I finally get to visit a LUSH store in Makati!
