!!!!!!!  BAGUIO  !!!!!!

(The City of Pines, The Summer Capital of the Philippines)

YAY!  XD

It was cOoL! Both literally and figuratively.
I was with Bona, Jeanie, T. Lei, Rimmer, Rico, Jay, and Martin. Great people who made Baguio trip more memorable! Hahaha! From the loooong bus trip to our 'homes' (cottages, we had two by the way, one was pretty scary good thing we transferred to a better one :P) to the activities to the trip back home again! :))))))

I went to the 23rd YMCA and I really learned a lot. We had leadership seminars, activities, different speakers, activities, contests, and a lot of activities! :D We were also put in different groups so I was able to interact with other delegates from other schools as well. It was good because I think it helped me improve my socialization skills, my leadership skills and in working with different kinds of people from different backgrounds. I also enjoyed the programs they prepared like cultural presentations from different schools and the ice-breakers were also fun! I was also able to meet new people and make new friends, but at the same time strengthen our old friendships and discover more about each other! :)

I really enjoyed my stay there in Baguio even if it was just for a week. (It felt like a month! Hahaha!) From waking up so early in the morning and staying up real late at night cracking jokes and basically just "horsing" around (Hi! Rico erm... Honkey Morseheim! LOL) Even the "hiking" we had to do just to get to the main hall and have breakfast! Wow, we had exercise every morning! Hahaha! XD

I also had fun going to some nice places in Baguio even if it's short and it seems like a rush. I was able to see beautiful places and realize that Philippines is indeed a beautiful country to live in! We went to take pictures, boating, take pictures, buy souvenirs, take pictures, and take a LOT of pictures! Yey! :P

This Baguio trip was a really wonderful and memorable experience for me.    :)       :D     XD
I'm so sad it's over, I could still remember the excitement I felt before going there. It seems like it was just yesterday... (sigh)

I hope I can come back again next time! Bye Baguio! T_T

(I brought pasalubongs! Missed you my family! :) Strawberry Jam! Yum!)
