Baguio Beyond Tourist Destination

    Tropical paradise in summer, nippy winter air at night, or fall in love with city kissing clouds; any idea about what I’m talking? Uhmm how about when I say panoramic vistas, 26 degrees centigrade at its warmest or Bernard the celebrity St. Peter dog? Still no idea? Oh come on! Okay how about pine tree paradise, wild sunflower backdrops or sundot kulangot? Or should I simply say strawberry, Panagbenga Festival and summer capital of the Philippines? Now I really hope that you already figure out that it’s Baguio City. And in lieu with that if you don’t mind (hehe), this city also plays a very important role in my late teenage life so it’s worth showcasing it for I know her already coz we’ve been together for more than three years.

Agoo- My Hometown

     Tale goes, a father called his son "Ago" to join him for lunch; the son upon hearing his name being called answered “O”. And it so happened that passers-by heard the resounding sound "AGO-O" and thinking that the place they just passed was called AGO-O, they relayed their experience to their companions and hence the name of the place was called "AGOO".


Dinengdeng Festival

   Agoo is a small and pleasant town of Ilocandia definitely not a significant tourist destination at all, but in reality a notable sights of a town that never sleep offering not just a beauty of creation, bounty of hospitality or roots of history and culture however needs a matter of appreciation.

Who would say that backyard was a secret paradise?




Rice Field Paradise
       I love travelling even before till one day I got a chance to have a visitor which are my friends from Province of Quezon and decided to take a vacation in our place as part of town festivities and to tour them around City of Baguio as my promise. So the story begins when the three of us had nothing to do but to start feel boredom until my “pamangkins” (nephew and niece) gives me a bright idea which is to tour them my more than twenty years paradise- my childhood playground just at the back of our house.

Dreaming is Forever Free

    I remember back to my elementary days, my mother just gave me ten pesos a day as my allowance and believe it or not it’s more than enough because the budget goes with a student discount tricycle fare of four pesos going to school and back to home, one peso for candies and gums, and last five pesos for snacks and additional toys to collect like “teks” (a small card with cartoon character usually ghost fighter and dragon ball z), jolens or marble in English, plastic balloon or trying luck with “bunutan ni ale” (a suspense board with number at the back that you need to flip to know if you won an instant gift if it matches the prize board) and hoping this time a 1990’s baby like me surely relates to this stuffs (lol ahaha).
