I cannot count how many times I’ve been to Baguio, but I can always remember the beautiful memories I’ve shared with valuable people who were willing to spend moments with me.
My first several times going here is related to work.
The succeeding times were because of simple vacation.
I remember, the first time I have witnessed the Panagbenga Festival in year 2010. It was full of spectators coming from different places. Some are foreigners enjoying the cool breeze of Baguio City and the astounding creativity of each float and street dancing participants in the parade. Some already slept along Session Road the night before the parade just to get a nice view of the morning’s event.
Check out slide show below for sample pictures I have taken during the Parade.
My next visit was during the Oath Taking Ceremony of Yam held at Camp John Hay. It was such an awesome experience to see my beloved achieving a milestone in his life, and I becomes part of it.
Another visits few years ago, just exploring Baguio City more and delighting the only SM Mall without aircon.
We’ve been also to some tourists spots, but because of frequent visits and some are already few years ago, The pictures were lost and some moments were not taken at all. Well, this is a note to myself, that I should take more pictures wherever I may go, so that I can take the memories with me even in my blogs. 🙂
