Travel: Baguio's Cold Breeze Made Me Forget It's Already Summer

Two weeks ago, my good friend Jesa and I were planning for our weekend getaway / my post-birthday celebration. We both decided to beat the heat by going to the coldest place in the country, Baguio.

It was a 7 hour ride with only two stopovers, Tarlac and Sison- the best thing about these stopovers is that the place were already serving food by the time we got there and the restrooms had 20 cubicles so there was almost no line.

It was characterized by over-sized sweaters, beanies, ripped denims, sneakers, mismatched colors or prints. Read More
