BINAGYO SA BAGUIO

Nina Typhoon. Landslide and long weekend. Baguio. My sanctuary.
Feeling ko kasi noong past life ko, I was an Igorot. Siguro kaya kating kati ako to go back in Baguio.
Kailangang magkwento, para maiba.

Everytime na pumupunta ako ng Baguio, laging new experience. At laging umuulan. I have to say thanks to my friends who are more than willing to roll and get dirty. No itinerary for this trip. No plans. No nothing. Ang saya lang because when you don't have plans, it's where you get your most unforgettable experiences lalo when you feel that the air is filling out your lungs because you are physically tired. I got sick. Terrible cough. I think I passed the virus to Tina kasi hindi kami nangangalamansi unlike Allan. Haha! And I will never trade these kind of moments over money. Shet.

We spent the whole Saturday sharing stories, me watching porn, watching TV shows, sleeping and playing PSP while enjoying the cold weather. We had lunch at Max's SM Baguio. Sobrang ginaw! As in! Sa kapal ng taba ko, nakaramdam pa ako ng panginginig ng katawan. Grabe, mas naaawa ako dun sa isang kasama ko. Isang pirma na lang dead na sya. Yung isa, nagtanggal ng jacket. Feelinggero! :D

INTRODUCING: MY HOUSEMATES ON A STINKY SUNDAY MORNING

Tina felt like we were playing bahay-bahayan lang, because we spent the whole time inside the house. When it's time to go out on a Sunday morning, we decided to go to Bencab Museum first because I haven't been there. It was a long taxi ride and my ears are starting to hurt and pounding mildy kasi mataas na ang lugar and may sipon ako. Don't you just hate sipons? Plural, para masaya.

Hindi na daw pwedeng pumasok ang taxi. Allan thought may bumagsak na poste at kaya namang lakarin, kaya go na din. Bumungad sa amin ang landslide na basura. It was stinking and muddy. I am thankful dahil hindi ako nakatira sa bundok at may threat ng landslides. I feel sad dahil nakita ko naman na may mga bahay na natabunan. I thought the local Baguio government (or whatever it is) ordered an early evacuation kaya wala sa isip ko na may casualties. Good thing: Nakababa kami ng landslide. Bad thing, Sarado ang Bencab Museum. What the hell, right?

Asin Rd. Kilometer 6 Landslide.. :( unaware that there are dead people..
See the fog? See the fog?

Kung kasing determinado sana namin ang Bencab peeps, baka nagkaron ng konting saysay ang pagpuputik namin dito. Pero okay lang talaga. Punong puno ako ng kaba.. Haha! It took us approximately 15 minutes before we reach the other side. Slippery when wet ang arrive!

Nagkaron ng bagong joke. Punks si Allan e. Muntik akong gumulong sa sahig.
Di: Tina, okay ka lang?
Tina: Yea, yea. Feeling ko lang lalagnatin ako.
Allan: May gamot ako dito. Gamot sa arte.
Di: Bwahahahahaha!
Tina: O_o (Clueless)

Punks yung place. Pero yung rice meal hindi. Mag monster sandwich na lang kayo para masaya.. :)
