Spicey Baguio Series- Le Chateau

Isang pinaghirapang i-schedule na lakad mga Spice Gurls Bessies. Unfortunately hindi pa rin kme nakumpleto. Kinulang prin kme ng isa. Si Cacai ay hindi nakaabsent dahil may biglaang work na sya lang ang nakakaalam pano gawin. Anyways, after so many months of scheduling at diskusyunan ay natuloy din ang lakad ng tropa.

By 12 midnight nasa Cubao station na kme Victory Liner and we left for Baguio at around 1.30 am. Wala pa kmeng booked accomodations dahil nagaalangan kami sa weather. But someone recommended a place to stay so we contacted na lang the number that was given. Fortunately available ang desired room namin for the 6 of us.

We reached Baguio at around 7am. So dumeretso na kame sa room accomodations namin. 

Its La Chateau.

We were greeted by Sonny. Ang nakausap namin through text na nakalagay sa contact card. The building was nice looking. White painted building. Sonny accompanied us to the Blue Room. Ang napili naming unit.

It was a condo type unit. It has 2 rooms.  1 Room has 2 Double Beds and another with 1 Double Bed. It also has small receiving area, a simple dining table and a small kitchen. May utensils and working gas range so pede ka magluto. Merun din Refrigirator. The restroom is clean. It is the Blue room so Blue talaga ang motif nya. Our Unit is just below the roof deck so accessible kme sa itaas. It doesnt have airconditioning system. Hindi naman namin kinailangan dahil malamig ang weather nung nagpunta kami. But pede naman daw sila magprovide ng electric fan kung kailangan.

We are satisfied with our stay. We stayed for 3 days and 2 nights. We had the room at the rate of 2,500php per night less 500php discount. Imagine we are 6 pax and we only paid 750php for a 2-night stay. Plus magkakasama pa kmeng lahat sa isang lugar. And i assume the room is sound proof. Dahil nagconcert ang mga hitad 1 night super lakas ng mga singing voice! kinabukasan nakachikahan namin ang katabing unit. wala naman daw silang nadinig. haha. And there is a Spicey story happened here. Hmmm haha!

What I Love About the Philippines

Isa sa mga kelangan sa tuwing pupunta ka sa isang lugar na una mo pa lang pupuntahan ay alamin kung ano ang magaganda at mga hindi sa lugar na yun. 

Well kilala ko na ang Pilipinas, hindi man ang lahat ng lugar but in general. So ngayon, as my Independence Day special, I'd write about the things i love about my country, our country. This is my HOME.

1. Filipinos are one of the happiest people on earth.

 Yeah thats true. Yung magagandang ngiti (although may kilala ako di marunong ngumiti, nakangiwi. Ang chaka!). Yung maaliwalas na mga muka. I remember nung nasa UK kame for a month training para sa work. We attended a horse racing event na sponsored ng company namin. A British woman approached our group and asked us "Why are you all smiling, even there is nothing really to smile about". We are stunned by the question and all we could answer is, "Well, because we are Filipinos, we are happy people. We smile."

At hindi lang chika ko yan huh! eto oh survey, we are Among the 10 happiest country . Go pindutin ang link!

2. We have the best Natural Resources in the world!

Kelangan pa ba i-memorize yan? Our beaches consistently ranks among the best in the world. Our underground river as one of the New Wonders of the World. Our Unesco Heritage and Protected sites. Nakakapagtaka ba na pilit inaagaw ng mga bwisit na ibang bansa ang mga yamang dagat natin? Mga echoserang ingeterong mga yun! Nakakainit ng dugo!

3. The tastiest and most sinful food are here!

Asan ang apple! Makasalanan talaga ang mga pagkain! Kung hindi ka magpipigil hindi ka hihinto. Bawat rehiyon at probinsya may kanya kanyang specialty na luto at pagkain. Pare-parehong ulam, iba-ibang bersyon at recipe. Lahat ng klase ng pagkain andito. 

4. We re are innately talented people. 

Imposible sa pamilyang Pilipino na walang marunong  kumanta, sumayaw, tumugtog ng instrumento, magsulat, magdrawing o umarte. Maaarteng tao tayo eh! haha.

Yung mismong may ari nga ng the Voice hindi mapigilan sabihin "Filipinos are the best singers in the world". Sa dami ba namang talent competition dito sa atin, hindi din maubos ang mga contestant. At sa international scene, hindi pedeng walang dugong pinoy. Kahit kalahati or one-fourth! haha.

5. Fun is our forte

Ano meron kapag pinagsama-sama ang masasayang tao, magagandang lugar, masasarap na pagkain, kantahan at sayawan? FIESTA!

Araw-araw sa Pilipinas may fiesta. Para sa mga santo, sa mga bulaklak, sa mga gulay at prutas, sa sapatos at kung ano ano pa. Kung ano ano iniimbento makapag fiesta lang! Paandar huh!

 

6. Freedom

Of course this is not absolute. Sabi nga ni Madam Miriam Defensor, there is no such thing as absolute freedom! Pero isipin mo kung doon ka sa ibang bansa nakatira. Doon sa wala kang laya sabihin ano man 

sa kapwa nyo o sa gubyerno. Wala kang access sa Facebook (saan mo ipopost mga selfie shots mo at saan mo iistalk si pag-ibig), sa Google (saan ka magreresearch), hindi ka na makakapagshake shake ng WeChat, paano ka na lalandi sa PlanetRomeo at Grindr. San ako sasagap ng chikka kung walang Twitter. Online freedom plang to. Mukang simpleng bagay pero kapag inalis, welga! Paano pa kaya yung mga ibang bagay na mas malalaki at importante.

7. I can be happy and Gay in the Philippines

Oo aaminin ko na, matagal ko nang inililihim to.. ipagtatapat ko na. BAKLA ako. Charought! Haha. Hindi ko ata kinailangan itago na bakla ako. My friends and family accepted me as who and what I am. And its good to know that the Philippines ranks among the top countries that are gay friendly. Yes madami pang aspeto na dapat i-improve. Pero at least dito, hindi ka susunugin kapag nalaman kang becky ka. Ano ka mangkukulam?

There are more things to love about our country. And are also lots of negative things about us, heck there are lots of negativity in the world. Yes we are not living in the best country in the world, but we are living in a country that's better than other places in the world.  

Introduction

I decided to create a travel blog, hindi dahil sa nakikiuso lng (pero medyo pede na din), but because I

missed having an outlet para marelax ako at ma-express ang creative side ko (meron pala ako nun?).

 Na miss ko talaga magsulat. Ewan ko, nitamad ako magsulat ng mga emosyonal na kwento ng buhay ko. But i think eventually babalik din ako. Hintay hintay lang sa mga pasabog kong kwento. Haha.

Sayang din ang pag-gawa ko or namin ng mga itinerary sa mga lakaran kung idi-discard na lang namin basta.

At may mapaglagyan din ako ng records ng mga yun kapag may mga kaibigan na nangangailangan ng impormasyon tungkol sa mga lugar na napuntahan na. Sayang ang dami ko ng napuntahan lalo na dito sa napakagandang Pilipinas, ngayon pa lang ako gumawa neto. Pero ok lang, madami pa naman ding nakaschedule na kembot. So..this is it!
