Anyhow, for starters, I will apologize for the really bad resolution of my camera but I hope it works here in this blog post... I will promise for better photos in my posts real soon...
Arriving in our first destination: Baguio Botanical Garden, one of the most well known tourist spots here in the city. Most of the pine trees are here so the air's fresh (well, except if you go closer to the horses...) and you can walk around there and enjoy the view and the parks.
My brother and my brother's girlfriend, walking down from the stairs.
Yep.
The horse.
And the other horse.
Our first stop in the garden: souvenir shops lined up.
My brother bought this for me. It's a blade, really sharp and it looks like a micro katana (lmao). I'm keeping this with me all the time, just in case for emergency. Anyhow... it's my new toy~~!!!
MORE SOUVENIRS ~~~!!!!
The tall trees~~~~
More stuff in the shop.
I bought this :D It's a really sexy sweater and it's really warm ♥
Them again.
More souvenirs outside the shop.
More stalls and their products.
I remember this wood carving (yes, it's a wood carving) in my childhood. I remember this when we were in our old church and beside our church is a place called Igorot Stairs and these wood carvings are there. Well, it seemed like the Botanical Garden management bought these carvings and transported them there. One one of the carvings here lost its head.
The garden's sign...
The couple~!
I can see my eyes xD

Just a statue of a native along the rocky stairs. It looked really creepy~
Pathway...
Just the bridge in the Taebaek Park in Botanical Garden.... behind this one is the Philippines-Japan Memorial Park.
BORED~~!!!
Just another muddy pathway to the Philippines-Japan Memorial Park.
Here we go!
The spirit gate (I don't know if I said it correctly but that's what my brother told me...correct me if I'm wrong)
Leaving the garden now and off to the Mansion House.
The Buckingham Palace inspired gate. This gate is placed during the Marcos era... I think?
Another view and behind is the Mansion itself.
Zoomed in. That is the mansion house and we're not allowed to go up there. That house is for the President and such...
Actual view from my position.
From up there to down here. Yes, the stairs of Wright Park! But from up there until here, you will never like the breeze. Yeah, it is windy but if you're gonna inhale, it's not that good at all because all you can smell is the horses' crap and pee.

Well, after this, we sat for a short while, took a taxi going up to Mines View Park and my brother and I are deeply disappointed to what happened to the park. There's a lot of changes in there. The simple Mines View Park turned into an another central business district of the city and us, the actual people from Baguio who got another chance to stroll around, are not happy about the changes. anyhow, we still went for the classic stroll in the park and stare at the really deep cliff as if you're going to fall.

View from Mines View Park's view deck. I only took the mountains because it's just really nostalgic, with a hint of wanting the old Baguio back.
After this trip, we ate lunch, decided to go home and take a rest but then my friend, Claudia, called me, and she wanted to see me so I went there. What surprised me when I got in her house is her HYDE hair [and yes, it's sexy] and while taking a stroll around the mall, seeing the faces of the people, seeing their reaction to Claudia's hair is just priceless.
By the way, we stopped by in the bookstore and bought something that I will never, ever gonna regret.
And going home, I bought something that will satisfy both my thirst and hunger: MOGU MOGU~! ♥
I guess that's it for now... there will be more for the Day 2! lmao
Love lots everyone ♥
