Day 1: Road Trip to Baguio

Travel to Baguio City

We spent day 1 of our anniversary celebration on the road going to Baguio City. +Jomar Tigcal and I met up with Mama +Chelle Gray, +Jerome Locson, and +Reymart Canuel in McDonald's near Greenbelt 1 to wait for Ms. +Aileen Apolo and +Maricar Dabao with the van.

Hot Chocolate from McCafe

We left Makati at around 8:30 AM. We had lunch in Max's Restaurant at SM City Rosales in Pangasinan and met with Allan Medrano there. By 3:30 PM we found ourselves in the beautiful city of Baguio. We went straight to +Azalea Baguio and rested a bit.


Burnham Park

There are dancing fountains in Burnham Park which was cool, so we went there first before heading for dinner.


O Mai Khan

For dinner, we went to O Mai Khan. We occupied a long table and on our end was +Jomar Tigcal, +Reymart Canuel, +JR Padilla, and +Allan Paulo Medrano. We were discussing our events as well as the different apps and technologies (geeky talk). They all had a piece of the Mongolian buffet while Jomar and I ordered something else. 


PNKY Cafe

After dinner, we walked (yes, walked) to PNKY Cafe for desserts. Ube crepe is delicious.

Chocolate Fondue and Ube Crepe

We all went back to the hotel tired. I still need to prepare some content for my presentation the following day.

Growing up in the Philippines, I only heard of the famous Philly Cheesesteak in movies or when watching Food Network. Thus, it shouldn't come as a surprise that last Satuday was the first time I tried a Philly Cheesesteak from The American Cheesesteak Co. in Vancouver. I have an uncle and cousins in Philadelphia and when I visit my goal is to try a Philly Cheesesteak while in Philly. The same way I was so estatic to eat Japanese Katsu Curry in Japan and Vigan Empanada in Vigan. The American Cheesesteak Co. Jomar and I went to St. Paul's Hospital for the last weekend of Lights of Hope and decided to have dinner here. Why? First, it's close to Granville Street where we will take the bus going home and second, I remember seeing the You Gotta Eat Here episode featuring them. Therese and I are attempting to try most of the restaurants John Catucci went to. Here's a map of restaurants the show visited in BC as of Season 5. The Philly VS New Yorker Since it's...

Vancouver Christmas Market experience and review

Jomar and I have been planning to go here last year and even the year before, but somehow we never have gotten around to it. Today, after the Pokemon GO Community Day, we went to Jack Poole Plaza where the Vancouver Christmas Market is located. Then, it started raining. Merry Christmas! Nope, I'm not going to be drenched in the rain and endure the cold to be here. This rain is not in the forecast so it was completely unexpected. We decided to let the dark clouds pass inside the Starbucks at Shaw building across the street. After an hour, it stopped raining. Thank God! We lined up again and entered. It was still before sunset so it's bright. We took pictures around and feasted on the many great foods! I wish we could eat more but at some point, you just know that you're full.
