Baguio Trip

Hi everyone!


Good morning!


One more day and we will soon be saying goodbye to 2014.

What have you been up to these holiday season and super long weekends?

Whatever it is, be sure to have fun and make the most of your well-deserved vacation. :)

As for me, well I have to work on the 24th and 25th kasi sa new year's eve ako nakabakasyon but everyone else in my family is on vacation mode na. We made plans to go to Baguio since November pero our schedules won't just meet. So, 3 days before the weekend nakapagdecide na din na Saturday ng umaga ang roadtrip.


First stop, San Fernando La Union.

The reason for the side trip to La Union is to basically try their bulalo and magswimming sa beach. Unfortunately, after 3 attempts in finding a bulalo restaurant, either ubos na or matigas pa ang baka. So, in the end hindi namin natikman ang bulalo kundi ang sabaw lang. We came up with the idea na baka wala naman talaga pinapalambot na baka sa malalaking kaldero na nakasalang sa harap kundi sabaw lang talaga ang mga yun. Haha, wala lang tamang hinala lang, blame the bulalo craving.And with regards sa beach, hindi ko feel maglangoy kasi maaga ako nakapagbath and nakakatamad na magbihis pa ulit. Simply said, tamad lang talaga ako haha!

Since it's the holiday season and biglaan lang ang trip we were unable to book for a place to stay. So, we searched the net and found Sea and Sky Hotel in La Union. Ok lang sya, I mean kung gusto mo lang ng tutulugan for a night at madami kayo na magkakasama ok na yun plus malapit lang sya sa bayan just a tricyle away (15 pesos lang ang pamasahe).

Let me share the view from our room.

Buses

Hello everyone!


Good day!


Hey, hey, hey I am back!

Yeah, I know it's been ages and I am sorry. I am really adjusting to all the mommy duties and now finally I'm getting used to it. So, am I forgiven? Say yes. :)


Well, what's new? Nothing much.

Oh yeah, there is something to share about living east of Manila. I've been living in Rizal since 1985 on and off and one thing is constant the G-Liner buses. I studied in Sta. Mesa and during my time the LRT 2 was not yet constructed so we rely on these buses, I actually call these bus Gapang Liner (G stands for Gapang, peace out) especially those times that I left home late and my first class is 7.30am haha!

Lately, like 3 or 4 years ago some other buses appeared from nowhere and providing more choices for passengers. They are big helped during rush hours. Call me loyal to these buses, even with the other choices and added feature offered by other buses like wifi I still choose to wait for G-liner buses. Why? For one, I grew up seeing them and to be honest some of the drivers and conductors that I met in passing while in college some decade ago ( I know, i know I am old haha, guilty much di ba?) still works for the company. The benefits must be good for them to stay that long. Why am I writing about this? I am happy with the service over the years, FYI I never got a free ride in all of those years. The fact that a lot of people were able to reached home safely in all those years says something about their company.
