Baguio Camp Story

I only slept for 4 hours, the trip was more or less 6 hours. First thought, strawberry taho! It was surprisingly cold in Baguio and I heard one of the manong said that it was indeed colder that day. Great!


We were greeted by a lot of people offering for a place to stay in Baguio. My bro in church (Tope) kept on saying that we already have a place - which was in my Papa's townhouse. A few minutes after a man with a paper in hand is approaching Tope. Thinking that it was another of those vendors offering for a place, before the man had uttered a word Tope already told the guy that we have place to go. Apparently the guy wanted to do an interview regarding our trip. LOL! I knew Tope was really embarrassed but kept his composure and did the interview.

Pastor was also interviewed aside from Tope. It provided us a venue to advertise our event. Hehehe, Pastor was really proud. After the interview of course we took a picture. The interview was later shown in Umagang Kay Ganda and Balitanghali of Channel 7.



Finally we arrived at the townhouse. The place always amazes me. It is simply beautiful and pleasant to stay. And everyone was very pleased as well. They already asked me if we can go back there again. By then we're all hungry and the strawberry taho for sure wouldn't last long. So half of us went to the market to buy food, half of us stayed and prepared the camp kit.


I guess everyone is on a pleasant mood despite having lack of sleep. Before breakfast we managed to clean up the place (no one stays in the townhouse so it is surely dusty). By the time breakfast was ready, it was near lunch. The weather is nice, place is great and everybody was just happy and gay. I guess everybody is just in their positive state because not one ever complained cleaning up the dishes. Or being assigned to throw the garbage. They didn't let me do anything on the house though. :)

After breakfast we all slept like dead. As for me, I didn't get to sleep much because Papa and Tina kept on texting me, checking me if we're fine.



Of course the Advance Party as planned had to see Baguio. So we went to Burnharm Park, Session Rd, Teachers' Camp and Mines View. For me I'd rather stay at the townhouse because there's nothing much to see around Baguio. But there's much to eat! Pusit, mais, strawberry... Yum!

I decided to do my shopping on this day as it was less crowded than on weekends. I was able to bargain well on my items. While we're roaming around the town, I was feeling anxious about me having a slot in worship to sing as lead (not as backup). Ate lot was very supportive to practice with me while we're walking along Burnharm.



All in all it was a great and tiring day. We decided to eat dinner at the townhouse and retire for the day as early as 10PM. I got a call from Mr. F around 11 and finally closed my eyes after that. Tomorrow is the day! :)
