From Baguio to Sagada

Before the vacation, my family had a meeting on where will we visit. My father and aunt they wanted to visit Sagada. In my thought, Sagada ahhh ok and I was worried if the road was good, safe. I imagined the road would be like from the show World's Dangerous Roads.

We only spent a day and one night in Baguio. We arrived at Baguio around 6pm, and on the next day we went to the tourist spots in the city then travel to Sagada via Halsema Highway in the afternoon. I can not sleep during road trips and going to places during the first time of my visit because I want to see the places before reaching the destination. During the travel the thought of worrying what the road might be like was gone. While we were in Burnham Park we asked the boat operator about the road going to Sagada and was kind to share some of the tourist we can found. We were assured that the road going there was good. And it was true.

Halsema Highway is one of the craziest road I've travel. Lots of blind curves, subida but it has a breathtaking view and the government did a great job on improving the highway (the people's money). I was not scared seeing the "bakilid" beside the road because I trust my cousin driver.

Backpacking

Hello everyone! Last week, I was on a tour/vacation around the Philippines with my family. We aboard on a plane to Clark and traveled home by land. My uncle and cousin traveled to Luzon first by land, and they fetch us at the airport.

Before the trip, I was tasked to search and book for transient homes, hotel, and etc. It was challenging because it is hard to look for cheaper and affordable places on the internet.

It was a fun, exciting, tiring, and memorable experience I had. I'll be blogging entries about the places we visit.

This entry is about backpacking. Backpacking was one of my major problem because I do not have the idea when will back.

This video really helps and gives my ideas:

• Only bring the things that are necessary.
• Instead of a soap bar, bring a body wash.
• Shampoo bottle ---> tingi tingi. OR If not and you do not want your toiletries bag to be "soapy", make sure to clean the bottle using a dry tissue or cloth, and make sure you closed the lid is properly closed.
• Pants --> Leggings/Jeggings
• Footwear that can be washed (crocs, and etc). it depends on your trip
• Bags must be waterproof.
• Cellophane bags for your laundry. if there is time have time to do laundry during your trip.
• Save money during the trip.
• Prepare an itinerary. Do some research about the places you will be going to visit.
• Have a travel pack checklist.
• Bring a map or GPS.
• Always be alert.
• Bring a travel pillow. (so useful)

will add some tips... later. xo


always smile! =)

Quote from Lord Baelish

Quote from HBO's TV series the Game of Thrones:

                       "Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail, and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, but refuse. They cling to the realm, or love, or the gods...illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is. But they'll never know this. Not until it's too late."
