Brrrrrrilliant Baguio! (Part 2)
DAY 2 : Gallavanting in the City of Pines
Our second day in Baguio started with a sunshine-filled morning. Breakfast was courtesy of Tita Gina. On the menu... scrambled eggs, longganisang Guagua, and fried rice. Yum!! Here are some morning scenes at the house...
When everyone was bathed, dressed, and ready, we left # 8 Pluto to go to our first Baguio stop for our second day... Burnham Park! When we arrived at the parking lot, Mr. Nagtataho greeted us with his huge silver taho cans. Syempre, di kami makaresist! Ang sarap kaya! Manong! Padagdag please ng arnibal! Hehe. So here are the Taho-stuffed peeps, toasting to this quite healthy treat (kasama si mamang nagtataho!)
Burnham Park is famous for their boats! Self-sagwan of course. Some of us tried this... But it was Kuya Jerry who did most of the rowing.
Those of us who stayed ashore, taking silly pictures seemed to be the next logical thing to do.
My favorite model that day was Lola Naty. Having the showbiz Aguirre lineage, our ulirang Nanay loved the camera. See her "Feelings" poses below!
Here's Lola kapag di nagtetext si Tita Marison where she went. Haha! Joke lang Tita! This is her face kapag merong pasaway sa pamilya!
Here's Lola kapag naubusan na sya ng datuuuung! Hehe! This is also the same face Lola has when one of the Tanquiluts are sad or has problem. Eto ang kanyang empathic face.
Here's Lola when she has the entire Tanquilut clan together and happy! This is also the same face Lola has kapag kakakuha lang nya ng kanyang datuuung! Haha!
The numero uno tourista in our group is the very energetic Gibo. Labs na labs nya everything Baguio. Including this puppet Lola bought for him na nagkabuhol-buhol na pagdating sa Manila. Hehe. Also, see what a little showbiz direction can do for Gibo's image! From "Siga ng Tondo" to "Most Behaved"!
Syempre, di pahuhuli ang barkadahang boys! Pao and Macky were the Bling Bling boys of Baguio! They happily indulged in the silver accessories. Kuya Jerry-boy, our trusted driver and all-around guy, kept the boys company, and in some instances, acted as the referee. In the third picture, the boys fall for the "Uy! Bukas ang zipper mo!" ploy. Hehe! Gets 'em everytime!
Lunch time crawled right in and we were all delighted to partake on the Mongolian buffet in the famous O Mai Khan restaurant, which was Lola's treat.
Sa sobrang pagkabusog namin, an afternoon siesta proved to be irresistable. Especially to Rommel, who seemed to be in the habit of dozing off quite easily.
Thank you again Lola for the lunch treat!
Next stop that day was Minesview Park for some serious shopping and sightseeing. At ten bucks a pop, Kuya Ariel and Tita Guste took the roles of ahem, plausible Igorots.
The view was quite nice from the view site. We could see the many houses in that side of Baguio. Also viewable were the many, many tourists who were cramped in the jagged site. Hehe!
We spent about an hour going around and shopping in Minesview. Several beanies/bonnets/choco flakes/lengua de gato/sling bags later, we got on the van again to go to Good Shepard for some seriously good Ube! On our way to Good Shepard though, one trip highlight was Tita Guste mentioning the color "Burgundy" with her very Kapampangan accent (therefore pronounced as "bur-gaaaahn-deeee". She also bought some coin "parses" ("purses"). Tito Rolly of course is her "parse" love. Hehe! Peace Tita! We love you! Especially si Gibo! Love ka! Hehe!
Anyways, after we got our Ube in Good Shepard, we went to Camp John Hay, The Manor. This is one of my favorite places in Baguio. I think I could really live in The Manor! Hehe! When you're in John Hay, it's as if you're in another country! The Manor in itself is a spectacle.
The Tanquilut ladies enjoyed the cool wind, the great atmopshere, as well as posing for the camera. Here there are in their happy and supposedly seductive/thoughtful poses.
Our day of touring ended with Kuya Ariel and his peek-a-boo shot. Bulaga!
Last our Bagiuo agenda was to eat at the Kubo Grill, which Tito Mar's friend, Tito Nelson, owns. This dinner was courtesy of Tita Marison, myself, and Tito Mar (Although he was absent, he was VERY present in the wonderful dinner we had!). The BBQ was awesome, so were the Bicol Express, and this Kampangan Sisig we ordered. YUMMY!
We thoroughly enjoyed Tito Nelson's company (so many business stories he shared!), the food, and the huge discount! Haha!Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!
After dinner, it was back to #8 Pluto for us where we did some serious packing and poker! Hehe!
It was quite a long day, but we all had fun seeing the sights and stuffing ourselves silly!
