Traveling with companions is always more fun as compared to traveling
solo—no matter what, if you ask me. I have already traveled to several places
where I was with my close friends like in Subic, Bolinao and Dasol. In some of
my travel series, I have been with some companies they call “bloggers”—or
people who write articles and post it in their “blogs”, or online portfolio. My
most amazing adventure happened to be with a blogger and our trip was in Sagada
last year. But I cannot condemn the parts where I also enjoyed my trip with
other bloggers in Osdung, Ambuklao and Baguio. This 2013, my first trip with
other bloggers was well no other than my beloved Baguio City, and I honestly
enjoyed our trip. :D
Baguio Panibago—The 2013

| Mojos in Jim's Diner |
I rediscovered Baguio, the way it was done by several tourists. This time,
it wasn’t an ordinary trip after all, because my friend bloggers came all the
way, hundreds and hundreds of miles away (seriously!) from the Queen City of
the South—Cebu. It wasn’t their first
time to see Baguio (or feel the freezing winds of Baguio, because we had our
trip in the third week of January which was in fact the coldest week this 2013)
but we felt as if it was our first time to visit Baguio City. Let’s say I’m a
tourist just for a day.
Before I became a blogger, I stumble upon several websites which inform us
about things to do and places to visit. And one of them was Penfires!. It was a
cool blog because I was honestly helped by Cille, the owner and writer behind
it, on how to roam around the city of Cebu (thank God, it was a great help
indeed!). After several months, Cille of Penfires!, together with the
FieldTripBoy, Titus, went up the hills of Baguio for a refreshingly cool
vacation. And I hitched on their trip! (Yes, many thanks to you both Cille and
Titus!)

So let’s start it with a winter wind of about 10˚C, in a cold night in the
middle of Session Road, where I met them both, Cille and Titus, in front of La
Azotea. I welcomed them here in Baguio, and both of them also welcomed me as
their new companion in this special trip to Baguio. We dine inside Jim’s Diner,
ordered food like mojos and pasta for me. Hehe, medyo nakakahiya pero nilibre
nila ako, thanks anyway. I was happy to meet them at last, because I find them
very passionate about their blogs (and I honestly admire people who have the
will to survive the world of Internet and blogging).

Well, if you ask me about the food, it was good but I cannot remember the
price anymore. But you know, it’s always almost 3 digits when you dine inside a
restaurant in Baguio, maybe the price was something like P130 or more. I forgot
to jot it down because I enjoy talking to them both, Cille the Cebuana blogger
and Titus, blogger from Laguna. I’m not here to talk though about how they met
and things like that. But the thing here is, they almost travel with one
another, and that was just sweet. Haha.
To cut the story short, we were supposed to do a “haunted tour” in loops
of Teachers Camp to South Drive (remember that 5-star Hyatt Hotel?) or the
roads going to famed Diplomat Ruins. It could’ve been a good idea, if not only
for the fact that we don’t have anyone who knows the trail to it (I honestly do
not know how to do it). Yes, it was a chilly evening, and doing things like
scaring the nuts out of ourselves—another chilly double for us! Yun bang
nanginginig ka hindi dahil sa multo kundi dahil sa lamig. Haha.
We ended our conversation with a simple goodbye and decided to do a
touristy tour in Baguio. I was lucky this time I have companions to revisit the
different landmarks in Baguio, because I now have my own camera that I love
because it takes good photos.
You know, even if I already spent one-fourth of my life living in Baguio,
I still love it. There is something in Baguio, aside from its cool climate that
I really feel I was so attached. The culture, the people, the place. And those
little things that I cannot account anymore.
