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.

Suso Beach, Santa Maria, Ilocos Sur

The place is called Suso Beach because it is situated at barangay Suso of the municipality of Santa Maria, Ilocos Sur which is known for it's world heritage site the Our Lady of Assumption Church which is sometimes called the Santa Maria church. The beach sands were fine and brown but the picture at the top was taken around 10 am so it's almost white in color. And would you believe that this beach is located just along the highway? Yup! You heard me right..  Eventhough it was not our first time to be here I was still excited probably because I super love  beaches or probably because I haven't been to a beach for a long long while now or both. Because the last time we were here was a few years back around 2011 I guess and we just had a stop over, because we're going to Vigan. So right after Santa Maria is Narvacan which has some awesome beaches too, which is already near Vigan. So when we got to the beach...

Fortune Hongkong Seafood Restaurant, Baguio

One of the new restaurants being built here in Baguio is the Fortune Hongkong Seafood Restaurant. Well I say new because outside it looks like its not finished yet. I don't know what's on the 2nd floor up but the first floor is already finished. What interests me is the word "Hongkong". Boyfriend always brags about saying how delicious the foods are in Hongkong. So I would like to have somewhat a taste of it. Finding this gem is actually just an accident, I was just browsing through the net of a good venue here in Baguio on where we can celebrate Julian's christening. And voila! I saw a good review of this restaurant. The good thing about it is they also have a set package for 10-12 people. But my top most criteria for looking for a good venue is the food. Of course, it should be delicious. First food that was served to us was the pumpkin soup. The soup was really delicious, it was full of fish, shrimp and crab meat...

Santiago Cove, Ilocos

Santiago Cove, a beautiful stretch of fine sand beach.   The beach is very shallow so don't be scared to get drowned.  It was my birthday and Jardy brought me and Tita Tessie's family here in Santiago Cove in Santiago Ilocos Sur. Last year we were actually looking for the beach resort in Ilocos that was famous for its white sand, but we don't have much of a time because there were alot of places to visit in Ilocos. So finally, we found Santiago Cove, which I found out from a coworker who's been here.   I We stayed in Santiago Cove Resort and Spa. Inside the hotel. Look at my baby bump. Getting big now. My handa for my birthday which were all delicious! Nyahaha!
