The sun was peeking out in a small gap of the window curtains as I got out of bed. Weather was fine that day after a heavy rain that engulfed the whole city the other night. It was my last day on that Baguio City trip and I have nothing in mind to do for…
We’re lucky not to be part of the dinosaur periods having no worries about horrifying monster lizards that might squash us on the ground with a single step. But we’re so unfortunate not to experience seeing them alive, and rumbling. I’m not fascinated with dinosaurs but I remember having about 3 dino toys when I…

Aside from its cool climate, Baguio City is also being invaded by tourists for the numerous pasalubong items available. There are a lot of things to choose from such as souvenirs, ukay-ukays, and to flagship Baguio pasalubong. The best place and probably the cheapest to avail them is at the Baguio City Public Market located…
Perhaps you already observed the way your friends rave when they heard Oh My Gulay everytime you ask something about the place. For those who haven’t experienced it yet, Oh My Gulay is one of the most recommended places to enjoy food when in Baguio City. They are located on the uppermost floor of La…
Time for dessert! And the best option would be cakes, and preferably cheesecakes! I found one in a newly opened restaurant along Leonard Wood Road that serves pizza, pasta, burgers, frappes, and more. Grumpy Joe started to cater customers last February 2014 during the Panagbenga Festival. Still in its fourth month, the place is already…
