Panagbenga


Panagbenga or flower festival is a month long annual event being held at Baguio City.   Held every February to celebrate the "season of blooming" of flowers.


Float Parade
This is my first time to experience this festival. And you don't know how I've been wanting to see this. It's just that every time I apply for leave it won't get approved. Pffttt! Good thing the main events are being held on my rest day so I could just go up to Baguio and watch them. And thanks to the additional VTO I can have more days to see them. Yehey!




Market Encounter
I got so excited when I saw this. Look! A long array of stalls selling clothes, accessories and other stuff. What a shopping haven for a girl like me! Haha! 


See what I mean? Accessories! Accessories! Accessories!


Of course, I won't let this market pass without shopping.

Bracelets


And if you got tired and hungry with all the shopping, don't worry the market also sells food and refreshments. There's different kinds of food to choose from, from burgers, siomai, shawarma, corns, pasta, cakes , empanada and more. And if you are really hungry there's rice and a wide array of viands to choose from.




What I like about the shakes they sell here is that you can see that they came from fresh fruits and they will put in a lot of fruits from your shake not unlike the commercial ones like "fruitas" or other stands selling fruit shakes where in you'll see they'll just put in tiny pieces from the blender. Hehe. 

Shawarma
And yes one of my favorite, the shawarma rice. I like it because of the garlic sauce. I was even called "the garlic sauce girl" at the office because of the amount of garlic sauce I put in to my rice. Hehe. And look at manong he even pose for the picture. Haha!









Landscape Exhibit

And to shake off all the fats and carbs from your tummy after eating, you can go to the landscape exhibit just besides the market encounter where in you will see how the artists of landscapers in Baguio show their crafts.

Solibao Restaurant

Belated Happy Valentines Day everyone! Well obviously this is were we celebrated our Valentines day here in Solibao at Session Rd, in Baguio City. They have 6 different branches here in Baguio and it's an all-Filipino restaurant. It's my first time to try their food and man they're really delicious! Here is the food we ordered. Just for the two of us. Isn't that great! Haha! I loved how they served their rice, directly from the pot where they cooked it. First thing on my list to try is their kare-kare. I love kare-kare and their kare-kare really tastes good. You can even eat it without the alamang. Their chicken has a sesame seed into it. I'm not a fan of sesame seeds but the taste is still good. It gives out a bit of a nutty flavor because of the seeds. But generally its ok. I would love to try other more but i don't think me and Jardy will be able to handle more.  Hehe. Oh well there's always a next time. So will ...

San Fabian

San Fabian, Pangasinan is famous for it's beaches and resorts. The good thing about it is you can use the beach without paying a single dime! Yes, it's free! But if you will rent a cottage then that's the time that you will pay. Hehe. I can't remember how many times I've been here but my first was when I was still pregnant with Julian when Jardy organized a Christmas Party for his miners. It was year 2012. See how almost powdery white the beach is. The beach is so wide and long. It's best for big groups since there's a lot of space to walk a play. But the beach is not always almost white, it turns brown sometimes and sometimes it's black. These are Jardys' miners playing hilan lubid. Sack Race.  The pictures below were taken last October 2013. That time we rented a cottage in one of the resorts there, so if you don't like going to the beach you can swim on their pool...

LUCA'S

Since we are already at Talipanan Beach we visited Luca's which is just a few steps away from the hut we rented. They serve good Italian food and there were lots of flavors of pasta and pizza to choose from. It took time for us to get our food but the good thing about this is that you can see through their kitchen and you can really say that the food were cooked as they are ordered. You won't also feel you're waiting long because the surrrounding was really beautiful. The pasta were so delicious as well as the pizza. Aside from restaurant it's also a lodge so can stay for overnight here. On our way to Luca's, it was scorching hot!
