Baguio City... The City of Pines (Day 2)

We may be tired from yesterday's affair but what the heck, nobody will prevent us from loitering around the city! We had our breakfast and talk about where to go next. It's a majority decision, we had to visit the SM Baguio (one of the biggest Mall here in the country), Burnham Park then the Bell Church.

I'm really excited as it is my first time to visit the Bell Church! A lot of questions going through my mind really! Well just can't wait to see the Church...

Enjoy =)

Can't help myself to take this picture! Nothin special really, it's just the Mall's Sign =)

Baguio City is clean, you will be embarrassed trying to litter around =)

Just a snap shot of what's inside the mall =) I think we're from the 3rd floor =)

We decided to buy some souvenirs, mostly t-shirts =) they offer a lot though, from key chains to idols =)

Fascinated how they decorated the outside of the Mall! Might want to take family pictures there =)

We didn't visit the Baguio Cathedral, though you can see it from SM Mall =)

Well what can I say? Welcome to Burnham Park? Enjoy the view =)

Havin fun taking pictures from almost anything =) One of the Park's corner =)

Well then again, welcome to Burnham Park =) Havin fun with the family =)

There is a history before this monument, I think, I didn't get the name though =)

The same monument, just from another angle =)

What to say about this? There's a lot to shoot really, I don't know why this again! =)

Time to leave =) Next stop, the Bell Church =)

As the sign says, welcome to Bell Church =)

I don't know what it says, might want to ask a Chinese friend =)

Ahh, that's very relaxing really =)

So sad as it may be but we need to go home, it's getting late =) This is the Session Road at night =)

Well, not enough pictures right? I'll try to update this when we visit the City again. Hope it won't be long! Can't wait what's for Day 3 =)

The Most Expensive Philippine Coin Ever Sold

I personally am fond of collecting old coins. I have an ample collection, and decent if I may add, of Philippine old coins. Though I collect coins for a hobby, some people kept on asking me how I acquire those coins and if I’m selling one. So in some cases, when I visit the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (Central Bank of the Philippines), I always try to order an additional from my own to sell or give it as a gift to my friends. I always wonder, what Philippine coin is the most expensive ever sold, and how much. Priced at $22, 000 or Php 1,038,136.00 as of this writing ($1 = Php 47.19), the 1903 San Francisco Mint fifty centavos is perhaps the most expensive United States-Philippines coin ever sold. Only 2 specimens have reported and only one formally auctioned for the price mentioned. Do not mistake this one for the common 1903 Philadelphia Mint fifty centavos. This coin is an absolute rarity. How this coin surfaced? The story behind that incident is still a myste

Hanamichi Sakuragi: In Real Life

I am not that young, though I am not that old to have watched the Manga Series Slum Dunk. A lot of people is being fascinated with the game of basketball. Almost everyone knows how to play the game. Maybe, just maybe, NBA really popularized the sports. Apparently, one story caught my attention, and surely, it is really worth to tell ;-) Slam Dunk (スラムダンク Suramu Danku?) is a sports-themed manga series written by Takehiko Inoue about a basketball team from Shōhoku High School. It was first serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump in Japan from 1990 to 1996 and had also been adapted into an anime series by Toei Animation which had been broadcast worldwide, enjoying much popularity particularly in Japan, several other Asian countries and Europe. Inoue later used basketball as a central theme in two subsequent manga titles: Buzzer Beater and Real. In 2010, Inoue received special commendations from the Japan Basketball Association for helping popularize basketball in Japan.

The Great Badjang or Giant Taro

As we try to come up with things to do to make our days productive this Pandemic, a lot of people are leaning towards Gardening. Here in the Philippines, people are becoming crazy with a certain plant. It has large leaves which resembles an Elephant’s ear. Badjang, as we call it here in the Philippines, scientifically called Alocasia macrorrhizos, is a species of flowering plant in the arum family that it is native to rainforests of Island Southeast Asia, New Guinea, and Queensland and has long been cultivated here in the Philippines, many Pacific islands, and elsewhere in the tropics. It is also famous as Giant Taro. The giant taro was originally domesticated in the Philippines, but are known from wild specimens to early Austronesians in Taiwan. From the Philippines, they spread outwards to the rest of Island Southeast Asia and eastward to Oceania where it became one of the staple crops of Pacific Islanders. They are one of the four main species of aroids (taros) cultivated by Austron
