Escape To Baguio

Dear Me,

I miss dear, old Baguio. That cold place has been my hideaway sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of everyday living here in Manila. Despite the shortened visits, I feel rejuvenated each time I come back here to face the next day of pollution and stress. It has been almost 5 years since I started this habit of disappearing from the metropolis during weekends. The nature of my work has brought me places and usually commands a very active, agile body with a strong resistance to boot. My physical stamina is strong enough to cope up with the exhausting demands of my job. It is my pyschological (the mental and emotional) aspect that is driving my spirit restless.

For the first 3 years, I went alone, solo. I preferred it that way. It felt wonderful to be alone, doing your own thing, biding your own time. It was great to discover an adventure for myself. I even made some good friends there.

One time, I also spent my weekend in Baguio (last December 2002) with my close friends from PEx - Jon, LA & Mariel. Yeah, just the 3 of us. Jary, Kerwin, Jheng and Paul were pretty tied up that time so we went ahead. It was fun. I really miss those times!

When I met my boyfriend Dex, I brought him to Baguio as well. Hehehe. He was like a child, enjoying his time there. We had so much fun then. Whenever I go to Baguio, I always request him to come. Hmm. For a while, I think it was fine with him but I guess there was a time that I felt like he was sort of giving in just to go with me. I guess nagsawa yata siya because it has always been Baguio. But of course, except for money and the weather, nothing can stop me from going there. Hehehe. Well, he always comes along whether I invite him or not. The perks of having a boyfriend who does not want to leave me all alone. Hehehe.
