Where's Waldo?

All around Baguio!


(WARNING: Photo dump ahead.)


First stop was the BenCab Museum for some culture and lunch.

 

Second stop is the Tamawan Village where we gave up on the steep stone stairs, and where I met a really friendly posing cat.

Then we went to the Easter Weaving School. It was amazing to see the process on weaving fabric.

And our last stop was the Pink Sisters chapel to give our thanks and to have taho.

Reappearance

So after breakfast, we freshened up a bit and then rode on a van to explore Baguio. But before I get to that in a separate post, here's what I wore:

The problem with sporadic posts is that a piece of clothing can make another reappearance just after a few posts ago. But that just goes to show how much I love it, as I've said before. :)

And if I do say so myself, this is just the right outfit, AND the perfect day, when exploring Baguio.

Sunlight, oh Sunlight

My lovely aunties, nanay, and I went to Baguio last weekend for a three-day bonding session. It was so fun and all we did was eat, reminisce, laugh, and take pictures. More memories were made during those three days.

So here I am upon arriving at The Suites at Camp John Hay. We arrived in Baguio just as the sun was rising, and the view--pink-orange tinged clouds, the sun's rays peeking through them--was just breathtaking. Anyway, the coat I am wearing below was thrifted from Baguio by my boyfriend for me, with a little help from his girl cousins. It is my absolute favorite coat and it kept me warm during the midnight trip.

This is the lobby of The Suites. It's just newly made so the rooms still smell of fresh paint. We stayed there during the first day, then moved to the Manor during the second day.

We're on our way home

This was what I wore on our way home from our outing at Stilts in Batangas. I was so eager to have my picture taken while the sun was setting.

The dress, by the way, was a last minute thrift. I was waiting for my friend to come out from the fitting room, and to kill time I went around the store one last time. I saw this dress and I had to leave a skirt that I was planning to buy.

Sea and Sky

Before the summer ended, a couple of people from my division, including me, went on a day trip to  Stilts Beach Resort in Calatagan, Batangas. The place is really charming, with multicolored plants and flowers eagerly saying hello at the entrance. And the day was just perfect with the sea frothy and the sky just staying a nice shade of blue. But what I’m so happy about is that I was able to make new summer memories (this was my only getaway during this summer) together with some of the coolest people I have ever known. :D

The photos, by the way, are only a few of the many photos taken by my very talented colleagues, Loreto Capucao and Neil Dalanon.
And before I end this post, here's a video of our trip made by Neil. Do check out his site to see more of his wonderful videos!

               

On the Road Again

I wore this outfit on the way to a resort in Batangas for our company outing (it was more like a division outing actually). Isn't it already obvious how much I love this jacket and shirt together?

I'll show you more pictures of the wonderful resort that is Stilts, plus a video of our trip made by my officemate. Which reminds me: I haven't posted the video on glitter shoes yet! Eep!
