Baguio: Food, Friends, and Events

Image
After a restful evening in  +Azalea Baguio , we woke up to enjoy the delicious breakfast the hotel served. I fell in love with the Baguio longganisa. After having breakfast and loading all the tab, I needed for my Google Search presentation,  +Jomar Tigcal  and I went to the events place on the other side of the hotel. There were almost a hundred women entrepreneurs and students! Android wood carving is their token to the speakers!

Day 1: Road Trip to Baguio

Image
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.

Cagayan de Oro: Food, Friends, and Events

Image
It was our first time in Cagayan de Oro (CDO) over the weekend.  +Jomar Tigcal  and I were speakers during the  +GDG Cagayan de Oro   6th Monthsary Meetup . We were at NAIA Terminal 3 at around 5:30 AM (early for our 6:55 AM flight). Surprisingly, our flight departed on time and arrived CDO on time. By 8:20 AM we found ourselves in the one-month young Laguindingan International Airport. By the time we exited the airport, we had seen our former colleague +Paul Michael Labis  who is now home-based in CDO. Divine Mercy Shrine Our first stop was the Divine Mercy Christ Shrine in El Salvador City, Misamis Oriental. It's one of the cities and municipalities between CDO City and the airport. Paul dropped Jomar and me off at the bottom of the Shrine, and we climbed the many steps of stairs (I should have counted it!). Oh, and at the entrance, they'll lend girls a skirt that you could wear while inside the shrine compound.
