A Visitor No More

I could be native to my hometown, Baguio, but the fact is, I'm also a tourist in one way or another. I haven't gone to some of the very few authentic scenic places the province boasts of. I'm not referring to the usual spots: John Hay, Mines View, Wright Park etc..etc. These parks are commercialized anyway.

I was reunited with my SLMC-RBD "sisters" the past weekend and indeed we had so much fun rekindling, recalling, rebonding. Umakyat sila to visit Kimi and our family. After years of planning and planning, it was only now that the idea translated. We've traversed the globe and yet we've proven that no matter the distance, the power of 3 is always alive. We've been friends for 9 years now.

I'm thankful! If it weren't for them, Hubi and I could not have set our foot @ La Trinidad's Strawberry Farm. Nakakahiya mang aminin, it's our first time. Sabi nga, "Huli man daw at magaling, nakakahabol din." True!

There maybe nothing spectacular @ The Farm, but with the company of loved ones, the entire time became special. Kwentuhan and tawanan habang naglalakad sa makipot na daan.

We didn't try picking ourselves since it wasn't worth the price: Php200-250/kilo, whereas, you can purchase it for Php80-100 in the market. Our eyes just feasted kaya tuloy nasita ng isang Manang. Picture na lang daw kami ng picture =)

Here's a peek:

Strawberry Fields Forever!

Bloody Red

Family 3+1

Me, Myself and the field of lettuce

The fruit & the cloverleaf

Ang Arnibal..bow!

Innovate!! Strawberry Taho (for only Php15..yum!yum!)

si Manang Masungit

( be careful of her, she's the scarecrow of the farm, she drives away people who are taking pictures of her territory)

the lovely sunset

Afterwards, we proceeded to the Capitol for a bird'e eyeview, but to no avail. Darkness has fallen and there was nothing to see. We decided to return to Baguio and bring them around. We passed by The Wright Park and The Mansion and we had our pictures taken there, merely relying on the super dim street lamps. Salamat sa SB-600 at headlights, kita pa rin kami. =)
