“Last Summer in Baguio City, Philippines”

Almost 2 years (since 2nd year) of non-sense planning where we can stay-vacation for 5 days and more, we’ve finally made it. It’s been a year-throwback with this gallery, and finally got my time to do this! And I can’t believe that we’ve made it in just one week or less planning for this, and could say that, there’s only way to make your drawings into reality, massive determined actions!

After 8 hours from bus terminal, we’ve finally arrived around 5 am in Baguio, the summer capital of the Philippines, to experience the chilly weather that everyone’s boasting over the hottest temperature in Manila. Since it was my second time in Baguio, we’ve decided to stick to the usual tourist’s spots. But before anything else started, we left our luggage and heavy things to the house of uncle of Eva. We rented a van good for us, that can brings us wherever we want to go and wait for us until we finished to take selfies in specific places, and that was good enough for whole day trip. (for only 2,000 pesos)

Touch down Baguio! Selfieet.

“THE LIONS HEAD”

The Lion’s Head is a statue along Kennon Road, it is the major highway in Luzon, Philippines that leads to the summer capital of the country, located in Camp 6, the Lion’s Head measures 40 ft (12 m) in height. This is the first spot to take selfies.

Took me a quick shot! hahahaha snapped by @brentttm

We stopped and took pictures in this breathtaking view.

I never loved this group photo, it looks like a photobooth, a digital mountain background. hahahaa]

So where to go next?

Where do you think you’re going guys? (nagpapautang in green scarf @thisismenicanor, with darla the platypus @creativetine, with snatcher in hoodie red @brentttm and with stressed tour guide @roselliedm)

“PHILIPPINE MILITARY ACADEMY”

Located at Fort Del Pilar, it boasts of a long and illustrious history of the best Filipino men (and, in recent times, women) for military service. There’s so much history to know and pictures to take in this place.

I did a test shoot for cousins of Eva, the two cute girls …. I hope these two girls can learn and memorize every places in Baguio, so they’ll be able to tour us once we come back again.

For my day 1 in Baguio, I wore my all time favorite white sneakers, partnered with acidic black jeans all from Penshoppe. Cream-Cardigan and Black-Long T-shirt all just from Pasig Night Market. Fur-Cloth Jacket from H&M and glasses from Sunnies.

There you go, the sun kissed my skin so hard! As always, Kristine don’t really know what count to pose.

“CAMP JOHN HAY”

The look seems like that each step takes toward to more commercialized future turns to rustic atmosphere forest into things of the past.

Happiest/Candid pose will always be the best pose.

“THE DIPLOMAT HOTEL”

“TAM-AWAN VILLAGE”

To those art lovers, this place would full fill your inner-creative mind and heart, there’s a lot of paintings, sculptures, hand-made cloth and etc., they said its the Baguio City’s pride rests in the wealth of its colourful heritage from pre to post American era, and in some parts are still untouched from civilization, the old traditions from its Cordilleran roots.

Entrance Fee for only 25 pesos if you bring school I.D. with you. And 50 pesos if y’don’t have it on your small bag.

“MINES VIEW PARK”

Mines View Park is one of most visited parks in the city. From the deck of the park and breathtaking panoramic view of Benguet’s gold and copper mines surrounded by mountains that unfolds before you. It is a spectacular sight to take more and more selfies and should not be missed.
