I was born and raised in Baguio City. My folks were from the Ilocos Region (dad
from Santiago, Ilocos Sur and mom from San Fernando, La Union), but I am truly,
deeply, madly a Baguio Girl. I grew up
smelling cool pine breeze, trying to catch hail stones falling like pebbles
from the sky during hail storms in the afternoon, hiking at the yellow trail in
Camp John Hay and getting lost, burying a treasure chest made of shoe box full of coins , smelling roses on our pathway, picking and
eating wild strawberries, walking home from school on a road I can barely see
because it was blanketed by fog, and seeing my breath on a really cold day.

Happy 104th Birthday, Baguio! You may have
changed, but you still continue to have that old country charm which makes you
forever my home!

Wow, that must be an awesome place to be growing up! I love Baguio! 🙂
I so want to go back to Baguio, even if it did lose some of its beauty. But then, the places and tourist spots, I still want to go to! 🙂 I also love seeing the "smoke" coming out of my mouth. Makes me feel I am in another country! LOL!
