Baguio, My Baguio

Baguio Country Club, circa 2004. As much as we want to stay here, we just have to find a place that suits our budget.

It's vacation time once again (well, for me and Roxanne anyway). Our first year anniversary is coming up, and there's no better place to spend it than the City of Pines: Baguio City.

It's not my first time to visit Baguio (and I think Roxanne has been there as well), but I always have fond memories of this so called Summer Capital. Prior to this one, I have been there four times already. The first time I was there was back in high school, barely a few years after the deadly earthquake of Luzon. I can still vaguely remember biking all night in Burnham Park, having my hand injured by a horse saddle in Wright Park, and our old car that barely survived the crazy slopes of Session Road.

My next three outings came one after the other, with the last two graciously sponsored by our company. The first of three was my first real out of town experience with the JETS (sans Tim). Even though we weren't complete, we still had a blast. My only regret is that I never mastered my camera well since I just got my G5 then. All of our shots were in 640x480.

The next two was a combination of work and fun, as we organized an event for our company's sales people. It was memorable for so many reasons, like our stay at the Baguio Country Club (see picture above), the numerous photo opportunities, and the food (I love lamb). It was also a time for me to get to know more some of my office mates like Bobby, Jorel, Mae, Ronivi, and of course, Jhen.

So now I have to end this post, and go back to packing my stuff. We still have to buy other necessities later, and plan our itinerary. I'm not sure if I will bring a laptop there, but for sure my G5 and 400D (and my artillery of lenses) will join me. My mom's birthday gift to me, a camera backpack, will sure come in handy.

Baguio, here we come!!!

I'm also taking this opportunity to greet Roxanne. Happy anniversary honey. I love you so much.
