Panagbenga 2008

I haven't experienced Panagbenga Festival in my whole life. This is the infamous flower festival that is held yearly in Baguio every February. On some cases, my friends and my sister always talks about it and yeah, I was a bit curious of checking that out.







Since we went on gimick to Nevada and went home at 5 in the morning, we woke up late, and prepared to eat food that we bought. Again, I was the one doing the kitchen work, with different help from some people who knows want to cook and doesn't want to sleep, unlike Eggie and Anya :P

Since we were late, we took breakfast and all, we havent had a chance to see the whole parade. It was a bit hassle to all of us, riding a cab, going to some places and all, since we were a lot. We were really having a hard time looking for a taxi.

When the caretaker visited us at the house, he suggested his friend and his van to be rented at any places we want to go. We agreed to pay him 1,500 for a day.

the ever stupid driver that we had(stories will follow...)

We passed so many beautiful and famous places like The Mansion, Botanical Gardens but we didnt get the chance to go down since we were rushing to watch the parade. We knew that we were a bit late because of the breakfast but we still tried.

But don't fret, since the morning team arrived earlier than us, I will post the pictures of the yesterday's parade as well as the judgment night of these floats that we haven't seen. It is real Sinulog of the North perhaps, cuz it's kinda the same. All pictures came from the sooper digi cam of Dennis ;)

when evening met morning

We arrived at past 3pm in Baguio. We were a bit late compared to what we planned to do, have lunch at SM with the morning shifters. We learned that the guys were waiting for us in SM so when we got off the bus, we head our way to the mall.


It's like we're still inside the bus, we felt the aircon on the street. It's still cold.


Photobucket

Photobucket

no parking and we're all standing beside it.. We can park ryt!!


Photobucket

Photobucket

nathan took the picture of "us" travellers

Photobucket
SM Baguio, a good place to hang out...


...but since there's a lot of people, we wanna eat somewhere far there. We went inside and met up with the morning shifters. We found them in front of Pizza Hut. We were like yelling at each other cuz we missed each other a lot. Haha. Parang di nagkita ng isang taon. LOL.

We contributed P100 each for the groceries. Dennis took charge of shopping for food while Jan joined us and took us to lunch.

We walked in the city and Jan recommended the resto they ate lunch at. I forgot the name, again, please enlighten me, and ordered sisig and sinigang.

Photobucket

while waiting

Photobucket

we're all hungreee!!

Photobucket

pork sinigang..wasnt able to take sisig's pic cuz it's already empty when I turned my camera over the sizzling plate.

...and the bill?? it's oozing P900++ for the two viands and rice and drinks. That's expensive!!! wala na kami magawa, gutom na lahat e.

Jordan dropped by in less than 5mins with her girlfriend and left. He said he will drop by on our place daw, but that didnt happen. Sama ng loob ko lalo na si Jan. :)

Photobucket

anya, jan and eggie

We waited for a cab, in Baguio, it's the FX taxi they used as a cab, going home but it was really hard to get one. We waited for 30 mins before we were able to get one.

Photobucket

jan and me, at the fx

Photobucket

and traffic :(

Photobucket

anya tulog

We arrived late, past 7 at the place where we stayed. It's a small bungalow type house but with an attic. It was far from central Baguio, hopefully next time we'll stay near SM :), but it was really a good place to stay.

Photobucket

there's a small chitchat place aside from the living room and there were big pillows that you can sit into.

We cooked some food, then rest a bit then we took a shower. Darn, water was freezing cold! Grabe, but tell you what, everyone, took a bath only that time and never repeated it again, hanggang sa makauwi na ang lahat :P

Photobucket

cooking!!

We started our first night with a gimik in Nevada Square. It's like a compound of offices in the morning, but turned our to be a gimik place at night.

Me, jan, Junel, Rhea and Dennis went to Nevada and the other batch was left home to wait for the FX to pick them up. When they arrived, guards from Nevada didnt permit them to go in since it was early morning that time, it was 4am, and the bars were starting to close. It rained so we didnt have any choice but to go to a boring and jologs bar beside Nevada.

Photobucket

happy friends

Photobucket

eggie and jan

Photobucket
