Since the trip to Baguio was unplanned and there's no time to prepare, I just brought a small backpack and a tote bag that doubles as camera bag. I cannot believe at first that I can carry a backpack on a 5-day trip, but I did actually survived (i had to request a laundry service though).
It was not just my grandmother's burial, it was a REUNION with my beloved cousins and the oldies in the family. It has been a practice among Filipino families to gather and be reunited during baptisms, weddings, AND burials. In my family, oh well...we are a huge clan, it was indeed a once in a lifetime get together.
I stayed at Hotel 45 just across SM, same hotel where we stayed 3 years ago with Mabe and JITB but this time, I had a great view of the sunset from my window.
Coffee everyday to keep me going, then I tried green tea and matcha too for more energy. Baguio during this month is actually sunny in the morning, there's no need for a jacket, a thin wrap will do, but at night you need a thicker one since sometimes it gets chilly and you might catch a cold.
It was a fun trip but a sad one as well. Quick and unplanned but will forever be remembered.
