"First Timer in The City of Pines" - Our Baguio Vacation (Day 3-B)

So, how did a 31-year-old first-timer fared in his recent fare to Baguio City?

Last time, I covered the first half of our third day of stay in the City of Pines. It was unfortunate that I had to split the post for the third day, but it cannot be helped since there is no argue that the 3rd day was our longest day in Baguio in terms of places that we visited, so I think the split was justifiable.

Moving on, the first half of the post for the third day covered our visit at the Strawberry Farms and our visit and subsequent trekking on Camp John Hay. Now, we will start the second half of the third day post in one of the places that my mom specifically wanted to visit at the camp - The Bell House.

"First Timer in The City of Pines" - Our Baguio Vacation (Day 3-A)

So, how did a 31-year-old first-timer fared in his recent fare to Baguio City?

In contrast to our first day in the City of Pines, we had a whole day of adventure on our second day as we had stops at Mines View Park, Wright Park, The Mansion, and Baguio Botanical Garden to name a few. For Day 3, we will take our visits a little bit farther as we go to a place outside Baguio City and then to a place with a very American-sounding name.

"First Timer in The City of Pines" - Our Baguio Vacation (Day 2)

So, how did a 31-year-old first timer fared in his recent fare to Baguio City?

In the first part of this feature of our vacation in Baguio City, it was shown that we chose to spend Day 1 of our trip by doing stopovers before going up to the City of Pines itself and just visiting places around the vicinity of Burnham Park when we got there. For Day 2, however, we picked up the pace and started things early as we have the "whole" day ahead of us.

Update!!! - The third part of this feature can be viewed HERE and HERE. Unfortunately, I had to split it up in two parts, but it is still a good read nonetheless.

"First Timer in The City of Pines" - Our Baguio Vacation (Day 1)

So, how did a 31-year-old first-timer fared in his recent fare to Baguio City?

If you can still remember, I said (in a couple of my previous blog posts) that I have never yet set foot on the City of Pines through my whole 31 years of existence. However, that streak was broken when we had a vacation in Baguio City for not just one, but THREE full days (4 days, 3 nights is the better way to put it).

This vacation happened last October 24, 2014 - October 27, 2014 with me and my family (wife and kid) together with my Mom, my Lil' Sis and her BF, and a niece of mine. Join me after the jump as I tell how this trip to the Summer Capital of the Philippines turned out for a not-so-young first timer like me.

The TARDIS has landed at the Terraces – A visit at the Filbar’s Ayala Fairview Terraces Branch

“If you want a quick snap or “Selfie” with a life-sized TARDIS, then you gotta drop by at this Filbar’s Outlet!”

It is obvious (if you track back with my previous posts) that I am a Whovian and being one, what I would love to see and take pictures with are things that are related to the Doctor Who universe. On top of that list of course, is having a snap with a TARDIS replica, a BIG one specifically. Unfortunately, some of those can only be found when there are conventions of sorts and finding one is even a hit or miss on those conventions, so as bad as it may sound, it is basically hard to find one, let alone have a picture taken with one..

Well, not anymore, take a look at this picture below...

The Ayala Fairview Terraces - The Follow-up Review

Here comes a new challenger!

If you guys track back, I had a blog post about the newly opened Ayala Fairview Terraces a few weeks back. (You can view it here)

As promised in that article, here is the follow up for that post. We recently visited the mall again and this time around, in addition to the mall now fairly populated with shops, I also brought a better glass for my camera to shoot the place a little bit better. (My mistake last time was I brought a prime lens)

Now, I promised a review, so here it goes:

The Newly Opened Ayala Fairview Terraces - Me and My Family's first visit

Recently, a new mall opened up at the Fairview area.

Being a resident on the North Caloocan Area, for the longest time (that is since 1997), the only mall lording it over in that area is SM City Fairview, so having an Ayala Mall being opened in the vicinity is a very WELCOME news for us.

A Post-Valentine Breakfast Date, Sealed with a (Chocolate) Kiss!

As much as I want to take my wife out for a date last Valentines Day, our busy schedules (We are both working parents) really did not permit us to have one.

Well, who says you can only have a date on the 14th?

Not being outdone, I discreetly planned a post-Valentines Day "Breakfast Date" with not only my wife, but also with our daughter on February 16, a Sunday - so we may call it a "Sun-Date", I guess.
