Baguio Centennial

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us



Baguio is celebrating it's100th anniversary this year.

I love this place. My home for over 8 years. The people, the weather, the food... just few of the things that I love about Baguio.




I miss walking along Session Road. Look at Session Road 59 years ago.


I have just started collecting "before" photos of Baguio. I'll be posting them all once my camera is done taking the "afters".

Happy Centennial Celebration to Baguio!

reynaelana, nagulat lang ako sa kwento mo sa BS, ung madilim sa session ng gabi? hehe. kasi after 12MN wala na kc maxado tao dun eh.

chuva said...

Ang ganda ganda pala ng Baguio noon - parang San Francisco!! Ganyan pa rin ba ngayon?

duke said...

minsan lang ako napuntang baguio. nung 1990 ata yun. di ako naligo ng isang linggo. yun lang.

Ely said...

Chuva, iba na po ngaun, pero I agree, ung topography is comparable daw sa San Francisco, so may mga architects na gusto mag-propose ng cable cars...

duke, hahaha, ndi ko ata kaya un ah! Kahit sobrang lamig ligo pa din ako.

reyna elena said...

@ely,

when we went there, madilim talaga ang session road, dahil andun ang hotel namen sa medyo baba, one block sa session and we would walk sa mcdo and then sa unahan lang nun me bar where we would go at night. nag-lalakad lang kami.

natakot kami dahil andaming sumisinghot sa sidewok! leche! andami palang durugista sa Baguio?!

Ely said...

Ah, must be hotel venize? hehe. hmmm...medyo madami nga pero hindi pa ko nakakita ng suminsinghot sa sidewalk ah. hehe. may bad experience ako sa session kaya doble ingat ako dun pag gabi.

Ronnie said...

nagu-ulan sa baguio tuwing hapon but i enjoyed the trip na din. one thing na dapat i secure is a good map. nakaka-peste yung nabili naming mapa. nakakapag-init ng ulo. haha!

hoping to be back by december.

Ely said...

ronnie, ganun na talaga sa Baguio, every afternoon umuulan, minsan kahit summer. anong map ba yun nabili niyo? hehe. actually mas madali magtanong2 na lang instead of using a map...

Ronnie said...

got the map from el cielito for 80petot. hindi accurate yung engineer's hill area. nahirapan kami pumunta sa mine's view. hahaha!

Ely said...

ronnie, hahaha. ganun ba. may binurang kalsada sa mapa? malapit na ung engineer's hill sa mines view ah. hehehe.
