of pines and fog...

Our three days in Baguio wasn't much... less of the stroll... less of the sight-seeings (thank god it wasn't a virginal visit...) but Manny surely lead the group in seizing almost every wagwagan (ukay-ukay) in the city... hahaha... well, i had fun shopping for my angel's much needed jackets in Switzerland (some were ukay finds... but 2 were from john hay's commissary...).


Dinner was set in Carlo's Pizza in SM Mall... then we went back to the house to drop off our ukay goods and then proceeded to bar hopping...


coffee and beer was served in Cafe Clutch... great band... wish i had a picture taken with the cute guy on the beatbox... as usual, treated them cans of beer... that's fine... they sang my song anyway... "couldn't ask for more" (these are the moments of edwin mccain)...

Mama was getting bored... it must be the age... hahaha! love you 'ma... i think she wanted to eat again (she spent the day indulging with almost all available streetfood...)... hahaha... and so we transferred....


it was more like a bistro which name i dont even remember (ei manny, is it "1856 Bar"? hmmmm...)... more fitting for mama... hahaha... she by the way, as suspected, ordered rice topping, gaaaaahd...tomi forever... hahaha!

and she seems to be having a little more fun now... after all, Donita (haaaaaaalleeeeeer... bakla po 'yan.... Carlo by day), her boyfriend (ah ewan... bakla sa bakla? bahala na... masaya sila dun eh... hehehe!) seem to really make her happy... which is actually nice to know.



two bars after, the rest of the group had to be fair with Weng and Edward (manny's friend in Baguio... such a dear actually... a Gary incarnate... the gesture... the way he speaks... just imagine...)... The two were having an urge... gotta go to the gay bar...

O naku ha! wasn't my idea... was just along for the ride... hahaha! di nga...not me! i'm sure di maniniwala kayo... oh there are really no pics...ciempre bawal... at naman... kahiya! it's in Naguillan Road by the way... Male Box... for a saturday night, it was boring-ly tame... hahaha!

Called it the night arond 3am... made sure though not to soundly fall asleep... Kuya Enteng, the driver i made arrangements with for service, is picking me up around 5:00 in the morning...

it is the thing that will complete my Baguio get-away... a glimpse of the sunrise... come to think of it... i've been to Baguio many times before but i've never relished the city at this time of the day...).

I was so excited... i really want that snap shot of the sunrise in Baguio... it will be my second entry to my collection.

But it wasn't how i hope it would be...



it was almost zero visibility... the road was covered with thick fog... even my digicam wasn't able to penetrate the thickness...

and when kuya enteng and i reached Mine's View Park... had to switch my camera to manual so i could take decent shots... still here's what welcomed me...



nothing... no sun is rising... no mountainscape... just a thick fog... a very very thick fog... Kuya Enteng noticed how frustrated i've become... he said it isn't always like it... the rising sun almost always is the nicest sight in Mine's View Park...

and then i realized , it isn't purely the sight... it's being there in that exact moment... of feeling... of knowing that you have something to look forward to...


it's the first time i've witnessed this beauty of Wright Park...



and the Mansion at 6:00 in the morning with that weather offered a nostalgic experience...

i felt i was not in the country... withh the cold breeze and the thick fog that illusioned as mild snow... oh gaaaaahd, how i pray my imagination was real... sana nga i am where my heart is... where my angel is now... in Switzerland.




I MISS YOU ANGEL... IT'S A DIFFERENT BLISS EVER SINCE I MET YOU.
