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 ...

Pebbles Beach

On our second day of our Puerto Galera trip we went to Pebble Beach which has a very magnificent view. Since the sands were made of pebbles I thought it's going to hurt my feet but no, I really love the pebbles it feels like their massaging my feet. It was very relaxing.  The fresh water coming from the mountains conjoins the salt water from the beach. The good thing about this place is that if you don't like the saltiness of the beach you have an option to swim onto the fresh waters. The small pebbles. Cutie little Julia choses to swim onto the fresh waters.  See, you can even lie on the beach without hurting your back. These are the shirts we bought at Sagada. Nice huh? Like couple shirts. Were also both wearing checkered shorts which I just noticed now. Haha! Nyahaha! Hungry me! I saw a stone that looks like a mini surf boa...

Yakimix

Just a few days ago,  my team went to Yakimix Greenbelt to experience another eat-all-you-can affair. It was our teams second time to be here. And yes this resto never failed me as my tummy was so full of grease again . Haha! Well it's not only the food that you will love about this place but also the interiors. The place was filled with beautiful chandeliers giving you a very classy hotel-like feel to it. The dining tables were set up with smokeless grills at the center for cooking raw meat and I really enjoyed grilling my own food. I wish our house has a smokeless grill at the center of the dining table as well. Haha!
