Baguio is by far my favorite city next to Davao.
There are actually lot of things to do and places to go to in Baguio. But I'll be honest, the very reason why I was excited to visit Baguio would be the strawberries. I can ditch just any other tourist spots in Baguio, but not the experience of picking strawberries.
Jan and I only had a day in Baguio, so I have to make sure we get to pick strawberries and have a lot of rest afterwards because we'll be having an exhausting adventure the next day.
We arrived in Baguio at around 5 o'clock in the morning and the first thing that greeted me was the cold breeze. I was already having chills inside the bus and it even got colder the moment I stepped out of it. I would rather board back into the bus, and even with the aircon turned into full blast, I would still feel much better.

I was never built for the cold. I lack those natural thermal insulators a.k.a fats that could have given a little resistance. I knew Baguio is cold but I never expected it to be freezing that my fingers numbed and my body shivered at the gentle blow of the wind that then and there I wished for a glass of warm milk. And I don't even like milk. But I swear, I'd be willing to chug one down in exchange of heat. I don't really remember what cold is anymore. The heatwave in Davao has spread to my brain, toasted it, and erased every memory I have of what it feels like to be cold.
Then out of the corner of my eye, I saw a taho vendor. A strawberry taho definitely sounds better than milk. So I bought one to save my cold butt from freezing. The warm soy pudding treat made me feel better that I gobbled it up in no time. It was so good, Iwasn't able to didn't leave any for Jan. Haha.
And now that I'm blogging about it, I realize that I should have taken photos of the food we ate or places we went to. If I wasn't such a lazy person, that strawberry taho would have been instagram or blog post worthy, and then I would have tons of pictures to share, too. The Session Road in Baguio alone has a lot of tiny wonders and I don't have a single photo of it. Sigh.

I know, I know. I fail as a blogger. But I won't apologize for my lack of effort in trying to fit in into the world of social media where everybody just knew stuff about you. Like what you did, where you went, what you wore, or what you ate.
Anyway, I still took a few photos. Here's how we spent our day in this charming little city. We definitely love it here. We had a blast.
And oh, the strawberry ice cream was good too. :)

| First time to ride on a tandem bike. |
 |
| And it was fun. |
 |
| Tried rowing the boat but I had difficulty handling it. Haha. |

| You've never been to Baguio if you haven't taken a photo with them Saint Bernards. Medyo naawa ako sa kanya. How is he able to enjoy his day? That's all he does, magpapicture. But at least he gets a lot of love from people pa rin. :) |
 |
| Let me take you down to the strawberry fields. |
 |
| Yummy! Patikim-tikim pag di nakatingin ang bantay. Haha |
 |
| Strawberry fields forever! |
