Monday, April 17, 2006Holy Week In BaguioIn the Beginning... This Baguio trip was most unusual. To begin with, when the Ligons and the Carloses arrived at the humble abode on 48 Gibraltar, there was a fire... due to tar that was being burned for the paving of the driveway. So we had no choice but to park the cars in the property of the Metrobank house, which has a pathway going to ours. Upon reaching the boundary of the house, we were welcomed by all the Titas hanging outside the house screaming at the people to put out the fire, and there were 2 firetrucks, an ABS-CBN van, and a motorcycle from the Presidential security. Big issue!   Changes... But that was just the beginning. The rest of the trip proved pretty relaxing and, well, still pretty unusual.   1. To begin with, the driveway is no longer the ultimate off-roading experience.2. A construction was going on for the rehabilitation of the house. Turns out our foundation is gone and we've been floating on air this entire time. 3. There are flowers (hydreangas, daisies, and snapdragons) in our front porch 4. We had a vast supply of wood for the fireplace, and 5. The living room was filled with toys, a sign that there's a baby in the house. The Usual... Boating in Burnham Park for Macie's benefit, walking on Session Road, and going to the market were just some of the indispensables of the trip.    First Times and Funny Stuff...   1. Other than that, it was interesting to have gone to Green Valley to see the view.2. The Filling Station in John Hay was the favorite hangout this time. How can you resist  Strawberries  and ice cream the old Magnolia way!3. When we weren't eating too much, the younger group spent time just talking and taking pictures in the garden. 4. We went to the anticipated Easter mass (which turned out to be a vigil) at the Country Club... nangatog kaming lahat sa lamig. So much for "this trip isn't cold". 5. We went with Macie to the Easter Egg Hunt in Country Club and unleashed our competitive skills just so our baby would win 6. We realized how truly enjoyable Cranium is. 7. It was funny how the house was instantly transformed into a gambling den - poker here, mahjong there. 8. Everyone had friends up in Baguio... even Macie. All in all, it was a truly enjoyable Baguio experience!
