Read it right!
I traveled solo last September 13-14, 2013. That was a first
time! J
Jenny I did it.
Kaso I’d be more thrilled if I did it in an unfamiliar place.
It was not as scary because I think my destination is very
familiar to me. I lived here for 5 years so it’s very easy and husband allowed
it since I have a valid reason to travel alone.
Backpack Backpack!
I rode a Victory Liner bus at around 1am in their
not-so-lovely Cubao terminal beside a delusional “artist” who I discovered was
a pervert. Okay erase. What is a more subtle term for that? Hmmm. I
don’t have a word. Clue: He was the
patriarch of a famous show way back in the 90’s. The show had a remake aired
today with those three lovely ladies with initials AKN. If you got it, then
good. If you don’t never mind. J

By the way, my facebook post below was for him.
We arrived at Baguio city at 6:30AM. Since I am very
familiar with the place, I went out of the terminal and proceeded to my
favorite place to eat Filipino breakfast. I ordered my usual Hotdog Meal with
hot choco and ate silently. I observed that parents together with their
children went to the counter with their lunch boxes and ordered the breakfast
steak. The crew happily placed the order inside the lunchboxes. I was able to
count 6 parents and children do the same. I don’t know if it was a promo or
something. I just thought it was cool.
After getting what I needed from Baguio, I was ready to
explore [again].
[perk] I walked from T. Alonzo to Wright park passing by
Baguio Center Mall, Baguio Public Market, Session Road, SM Baguio, White house,
Botanical garden, Saint Joseph church and Ketchup community. Wondering how far?
Hmm. I walk for about 2 hours. That's all I can give.
The whole experience was relaxing because walking along the
roads of Baguio city was bliss. It was cold, comforting, warm to the heart and
uber relaxing. I have a very good attachment to nature ever since I started
climbing mountains. If you’re not on that side DON’T TRY THIS. J
I chanced upon a good place to eat in front of Wright Park.
It is called Ketchup Community. I think I read about this in one of the blogs
and it is gaining popularity in the blog world. I must try this on my next
visit.
Meantime I hailed a cab and told the driver to drive me to South Drive. My goal for the day is to visit the Secret Garden.
Full review is posted HERE.
I keep on discovering new things/places in my favorite
place. Thanks to the creative businessmen, it keeps on going and going and
going.
After my lunch I went straight to the city market to buy
some fruits for my family who are waiting for me at home. [perk]
Conclusion:
Paul will always be my favorite travel buddy. But because of
some unavoidable circumstances, there are times [and will be times] when we
need to take separate routes.
Being alone means I can control my time. [perk] I can be
anywhere I want to be [perk] and I can eat anywhere I fancy. [perk] I can buy
things I want without the usual side comment “Mahal yan.” [perk] I can walk
kilometers without hearing any complaints. [perk] I can be at the same place
twice and eat the same thing over and over again. [perk]
On the other hand, I don’t have somebody to ask where would
be the nicer place to eat. [irk] No comments whether my new slippers are pretty
or not. [irk] No one there cheer me up when I’m feeling down. [irk] No one to
laugh with. [irk] No one to carry my bags. [irk] And no one to talk to over a
cup of coffee. [irk]
I guess I just need to find the balance. I want to explore more things and do more things alone and with company.
Tara byahe tayo!:)
