Nagbook kami sa Le Chateau. hanapin nyo na lang yung facebook site nila. first time namin dun, recommended lang din online.

[Jaaa!]

For those asking for transient house, try to look up recedencia alekzandra. We stayed there last August, we were 11pax and stayed in a 2 bedroom unit. We only paid 3k ata. It's at Palma St, near Burnham. I think may olx page sila.

Excited much. Hoping and praying for a safe trip.

We're planning to spend our 4th anniversary in Baguio. We'll be there from Dec 10-12. No place to stay yet and no itinerary too... Any suggestions for affordable place to stay and possible itinerary...

[sassy_gal18]

So natapos din ang trip. Kwento ko na ba? Haha brace yourselves mahaba to ng onti. Honest and true to life review.

Umalis kame sunday, nov 16 ng 10am. Planning to ride kasi yung early trip ng de luxe victory liner. Kaso puno na. Nag antay kame ng trip na 2:20p.m pa. Lesson learned: mag pa book ng maaga. Dami na pumupunta baguio.

Mabilis lang byahe. Enjoy kahit kabado. Dumating kame baguio ng 9:30 ng gabi.

Wala kameng place na pinareserve so dun pa kame naghanap. Inapproach kame ng tourist guide na si kuya Manny nagshow sya samin ng clear book na puro kwarto sa iba't ibang pension house/transient house at hotel. From mura to mahal. Napili namin yung FERRIONIE, 1200 per day for 2. With free breakfast. Pension house/dorm sya. Malapit sa burnham park. Sa likod ng St.Louis University. Ok yung kwarto may tv na hindi cable, isang cabinet, cr, kama na kasya sa 2 tao at kumot na ubod ng nipis.

Disaster ang place na to. Tingin ko kung nagtingin pa kame ng iba mas ok pa. Kahit no free breakfast. Baho ng cr. Super! Disaster yung drain kasi barado. Sumisingaw sa baho yung banyo. Ang dumi ng mga basahan. Ang dumi ng room. Siguro dala ng excitement at pagod kaya namin napili to. Hindi na kame makapag back out kasi nakabayad na at no refund daw. So-so ang breakfast. Minsan pa hindi avail yung food na pipiliin mo na nakaindicate sa choices. Walang matinong service. Pangit in short at hindi na ko babalik sa place na to ever.

Baguio. Ok ang parks nila. Burnham park. Wrigh park. Good. Masaya. Sarap mag unwind.

Burnham lake. Wala pang limit yung rent sa mga bangka at swan boat. Kasi wala pa tao. So one to sawa kame. .

Ok ang food sa GOOD TASTE. Sarap ng buttered chicken.

No no for me ang choco drink ng CHOCO-LATE de Batirol. Lagkit ng drink. Super tamis. Ang layo pa ng nilakad namin para marating to. Epic fail. Pricey na parang ordinaryo lang lasa. Ewan ko pero hindi ko sya naappreciate.

Harrison night ukay ukay. Dami ko nabili. 3 nights din ako bumalik balik dito. Actually nas mahal pala dito mamili kesa pag sa araw ka bumili. Saka madaya kasi hindi mo mapapansin yung damage ng mga damit. So payo ko mas ok mag ukay sa umaga sa mga pwesto mas mura pa. For sake of experience ok na rin. Daming branded na gamit kaso fa kasi minsan hinahaluan nila ng fake tapos icclaim na orig.

Camp John Hay. Ang layo pala nito. Daming lalakarin. No car so lakad gallore. Dito pala yung mga outlet store ng mga branded na shoes at clothes. Hindi ako tumingin since tight na budget.

Good shepherd convent. No limit pa yung mga ube jam. So dami ko nabilim by the way MUST TRY for me yung alfahor. Super sarap nya ha.

Old diplomat hotel. Scary place inside and out.

To sum it all. Masaya at magastos ang trip na to. 3 days 4 nights kame.

Lesson: magtingin tingin muna bago magsettle. Wag magmadali bumili or magbayad. Magdala ng extrang damit. Extrang pera. Extrang energy.

Warning: INGAT SA MGA MANDURUKOT. Dami nagkalat nagbebenta ng mga iphone5. Phones and whatever na obvious namang snatched lang.

[mommynin8]

sis caterpillar-girl,  ok naman yung itinerary mo.  Marami pa kayong pwedeng isingit if ever.

[anniegurl]

i super love baguio. go to place namin ni hubby everytime we want to go out of town. Hubby has relatives from baguio so everytime we go there we stay at baguio country club. i never get tired of baguio. kaka miss tuloy. i want to go back before christmas kaso im 33 weeks pregnant

[red_yesha]

will go there on Dec.5, I hope pag punta namin dun mayroon pa ring available room sa hotel 45.
excited na ako   makabili nga ng bagong jacket

[yndy]

ok naman sis caterpillar-girl kung ayaw mo masyado haggard and wanted plenty of time to enjoy the place. Ask ko lang kung ano gagawin mo sa palengke sis. kung bibili ka lang ng mga pasalubong baka pwede mo i-move na lang sha sa last or 2nd to the last day nyo in baguio.

ako scouting pa din ng place to stay, sa baguio din kami magcecelebrate ng anniversary ni hubby on dec 10-12 but pwede ma-extend ng 1 day more.

^ sis red-yesha malapit na dec 5 book ka na ng room para ma-ensure mo yung reservation nyo...

may nagpost sa last thread ng Lindi Hotel. Nag inquire ako 800/night pero may ongoing renovations daw sila so they can't send pics of the old rooms. Sabi open for reservations naman daw yung old rooms nila. Mga sis meron ba nakaka-alam or makakapagshare ng pics ng hotel if ever? wala ako makita sa google eh. takot lang ako baka ndi ok... hehe

[caterpillar-girl]

Thank you sisses sa mga reply nyo. Dito na kami Baguio and ang lamig! Ang sarap. We are staying at Azalea Residences. Maganda sya and central ang location.

For those na pupunta this weekend, bring an umbrella. Maulan ulan pero di naman sobra. Pabugso bugso pero natatapos rin kagad.

Have fun sisses!

[red_yesha]

Thanks yndy balitaan ko kayo kapag naging successful ang pag gagala namin hehe.
Have a great weekend!

[brandi]

No no for me ang choco drink ng CHOCO-LATE de Batirol. Lagkit ng drink. Super tamis. Ang layo pa ng nilakad namin para marating to. Epic fail. Pricey na parang ordinaryo lang lasa. Ewan ko pero hindi ko sya naappreciate.

Sorry, but they offer the original recipe and blend. Ganoon talaga ang texture non sis. If you're going to try chocolate de batirol from baguio hotels/restaurants, smooth na ang pagkakagawa and diluted na.

Maybe it's not just your thing pero sometimes, i visit baguio just because of that drink.

we're planning on celebrating christmas in Baguio  maiba lang. naghahanap ako ng mga transient houses para makamura dahil 4 kami and most likely ako gagastos. 

Eto mga nakita ko online:
- sentosa transient
- mileshome

halos lahat kasi wala naman website. baka may masusuggest kayo na malapit sa mines view/good shepherd. basta wag lang sa session road kasi parang nasa manila lang hehe.

[super bratinella]

Kami naman before the year end plan namin pumunta, if you still have affordable transient home na for family pls share.

[swtgrl_bee]

hello mga lakwatsera hihi...
its been awhile since my last post.
nwei, ask ko lang, anything NEW sa Baguio?

We'll be going there this Christmas.
Actually, I've been there 4-5 times na ata  but what excites me is buong family ang magse-celebrate ng Pasko duon. esp. with my parents - i think its their first time there as family trip. so im excited to prepare our schedule.

But my hub and 3 kids will go up earlier than them kaya since dati na kami pumupunta, i plan to visit new places.
suggestions and recommendations please on a place na BAGO... may it be a new place to see or new food haven... basta mga bagong must see in Baguio... (been there 3-4 years ago).

thanks in advance.
