Smiled in Baguio

paolosdala — Fri, 4 Jan 2013 07:06:00 GMT

Alright, I have to admit it. I had fun in Baguio. I never expected to because I've been there more than 3 times, but I did. I just realized that places are always full of surprises. Till next time.

A Taste of the Baguio Night

paolosdala — Fri, 4 Jan 2013 07:01:00 GMT

When you have lots of friends, you'll run into them in unexpected places even when you're only in that place for a night.

Two old friends found out that I was in Baguio last night through Facebook. They picked me at my hotel at 1 am and took me for a drink in a music lounge. Haha. The music was almost great. Anyway, Night life is part of experiencing the place, and I never tried I the Baguio night life!

It has been a pretty long time since I last saw you, so it was really nice seeing you guys again. Sorry for the short notice. Till next time. Salamat. I enjoyed. Haha.

Old Magazine

paolosdala — Thu, 3 Jan 2013 06:56:00 GMT

Found a 99 year-old original National Geographic Magazine about the Philippines at a bookstore in Baguio City. I was supposed to buy it, but I don't have P3000.

Mt Cloud: The High Bookstore

paolosdala — Thu, 3 Jan 2013 06:48:00 GMT

I never expected to see the coolest bookstore in the coolest city. It's heaven for book lovers. Mt Cloud just inspired me to dream of having a private library that looks just like it. This is a shop that must be visited in Baguio City.

Heart for Art

paolosdala — Thu, 3 Jan 2013 06:45:00 GMT

Seriously, Humanities 2 is one of those subjects that changed me. Maybe because it has lots of field trips. Anyway, I hated art when I was in high school. I appreciate it now because of Hum 3. I'm not really a big art fan now. I don't buy books about it, but I kinda like it.

I had fun at BenCan(Benito Cabrera) Museum when I was in Baguio because I love taking photos. Art galleries are just great subjects because they're overflowing with colors.

Gazing at the Zamba Sky

paolosdala — Fri, 28 Dec 2012 04:01:00 GMT

I was with some old friends on the shores Zambales three days ago. We stayed until about 3 am. We were gazing at the infinite sky and we were talking about aliens, stars, meteors, etc. It was just so peaceful.

North Luzon Reunion

paolosdala — Fri, 28 Dec 2012 03:02:00 GMT

I went with some friends to San Narciso, Zambales just to get a way from the all the troubles of the world. I wanted to think of some solutions for my problems and I wanted to breathe fresh air. My friends invited me to this place for a couple times before, but I never showed interest. It was only this time when I decided to join them, and I am so glad that I did.

Thank you Crystal Beach Resort(which is owned by my friend) for not disappointing me. They have a great beach and a great place to lodge. I hope to be back here soon.

Mountain Kids

paolosdala — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 13:17:00 GMT

We were hiking in Mt. Makiling last Friday and I came across some kids along the way. They are residents of the mountain and they were playing along the trail. I love interacting with kids, so I decided to talk to them. They're very nice kids. I learned a couple of things about their lives because they were kind enough to talk to a stranger.

I had a fun experience with these kids. I just can't go away without taking a photo of them. I asked them to pose for me. They gladly did it for me. I took a shot and bid them goodbye.

To the Top without a Top

I was finally able to climb Mt.Makiling without wearing a shirt. Oh yeah! I always wanted to do this!

A Mountain Reunion

paolosdala — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 12:48:00 GMT

When I entered UPLB back in 2008, Jyko and Julio became my first friends. They were BS Biology Students of Class 2005 back then. Now, they're biologists. One is studying medicine and the other is running his family's business.

These two are busy very busy people. That's why I was really happy that I got a chance to climb Mt. Makiling with them. Climbing a mountain is a great reunion.

The Beatles Shot

paolosdala — Sun, 8 Apr 2012 23:36:00 GMT

My cousins asked me to take a photo them while crossing the street. They wanted to imitate the the photo of the Beatles crossing Abbey Street. I had second thoughts on granting their request because Manila Streets are dangerous, but I did it anyway. I took a photo of my cousins while crossing a pedestrian lane.

The Old Manila

Oh I just love the old Manila!

Tagaytay Morning

paolosdala — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 16:25:00 GMT

I arrived at Tagaytay at 5 a.m. with a couple of my friends just to have coffee. I had to get back immediately because I have a class at 8:30 a.m. It's been quite a while since my last mountain trip. It really feels so good to touch the clouds once again.

The Shortest Vacation

paolosdala — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 23:06:00 GMT

I left Habor Sqaure for Camaya Coast, Bataan at 6 a.m. and I returned at 2 p.m. This was really a short vacation, but I really enjoyed it. The place made me forget my problems. Haha.
