Last weekend, my friends from college came up from Manila. After years of convincing, this was the only time they were able to come and enjoy Baguio. :) I volunteered to take some shots while they were here.
We had breakfast at Little John's, located at the commissary part of John Hay. Their Rib Eye Tapa's quite good. :)
Next, we walked up to The Manor and I showed them the garden. Their restaurant's dining area leads to this lovely garden with a view of the log cabin-inspired hotel. You can visit it even if you're not a guest or even if your not dining. I think. LOL. Its a great place to take photos.
Because my two guests wanted a more "Twilight" feel (as in the forest where Edward and Bella roamed around), I brought them to the site where my sister and I shot last December. I couldn't quite capture a shot as if they were moving and jumping from tree to tree, but I think the picture came out quite cute anyway.
Also, my friend was trying to do a spoof of our shoot and here's the shot. Not bad. :)
Here's a shot of me and Karrots, one of my best friends during college. :)
We headed to Chaya after that mini photo shoot and after a brief visit to Mines View, cause I know they like Japanese food. Which reminded me, I haven't given my thoughts on Chaya, but to sum it up, I love it. And my friends loved it too! :) Mines View is still a nice place to visit if you're a first time visitor, but its too crowded that you might just appreciate it less.
During lunch, we were too preoccupied with our food and our conversation that we didn't really take photos anymore. It was really fun catching up and seeing my friends in a different setting. We had a short shopping trip after at the infamous ukay-ukay. Ukay-ukay's are so expensive now. Still, we were able to find some things.
Hope this post helped anyone planning a Baguio trip soon. LOL. I wanted to bring my friends to other more places, but time was our enemy that day. Anyway, there's always a next time. :)
