Our Baguio Honeymoon (To the music of "Mem'ries")

[tourist guide]

Honeymoon is spent best in Baguio--to me, that is. I and my wife had ours here. That was June 4, 1995--we were married June 3. It was raining, so we're supposed to get rich according to tradition.

Anyway, we arrived there 6 am. The mist was thick and love was in the air. Fog covered roofs and hilltops in the distance. Wow! What a way to spend honeymoon. And my wife looked so...so....umm...never mind. I might be banned here.

We stayed at Terraces Hotel near Burnham. Well, first we stayed in that old dilapidated hotel along Session. It looked like Dracula would appear somewhere anytime in our room, and it was the kind where Darna would have to rescue you several times in a day. At dawn, after an earthquake that sent us grabbing each other crazily and saying our last farewells, we left in a hurry and found Terraces. This hotel was superb!

Then we had our meals at Sunshine Restaurant at the corner of Session and Magsaysay Roads. The Chinese food there is yummy and always hot. The vegetables are cccrrrunchy! I have a friend waiter there whom I befriended for better services in the future.

Then we bought chacku sets and arnis sticks, among other souvenirs. The whole thing was so memorable. Baguio is our favorite vacation place. Each time we're there, wife and I reminisce our honeymoon--which was 14 years ago. Boy, how time flies! Now we have 2 active kids crazy about martial arts! hihi!

Planning on your honeymoon or vacation? Think no more. Go up Baguio!

hiyee! i've never been to Baguio for the last 12 years. some of my friends go there during christmas season. they like to torture themselves with the temperature there . but they said a lot has changed, and it's been crowded than ever. Burnham Park and Minesview Park has been deteriorating, and less tourists go there nowadays. is this true?

anyway, i'm intrigued as to where they usually stay. i forgot the name of the place, it's not your usual hotel, more like a retreat house or something like that. they said it's behind the old Hyatt hotel (creeeeepy)! taxi drivers refuse to drive them home when they say the name of the place, especially late at night from their gimmicks. so they took off some kilometers away from where they stay, and walk. there are no light posts so they use their cellphones to light their way. exciting, noh?!

ugghh i really forgot the name of that place.. i'll ask them and get back here!

peace!
