Baguio City... The City of Pines (Day 3)

Wow, days here at Baguio City seems so fast than normal! It's our 3rd day already but I think we didn't explore much of the city yet! Better start early then, we had our usual breakfast and get dressed in a hurry to go visit The Camp John Hay, Crystal Cave and the Butterfly Sanctuary!

Where to go first? Well it's not that hard because the locals will guide you to maximize your time. Just be friendly but yet cautious to avoid unnecessary arguments or problems, you'll never know whose willing to help or just trying to get something out of you! I'm nothing against the locals though, just being cautious I think =)

Enjoy =)

Don't be afraid to get lost, directions like this are scattered strategically within the area =)

Just another signage guiding you where to go =)

Need to observe the speed limit while visiting the camp, we went there on foot though =)

Thought it was Camp John Hay at first glance =)

A great advisory asking us to befriend the trees, better take some care while we're here =)

The Baguio became City officially last September 1, 1909 =) 

Can't decide right away where to! The family wants to visit them all =)

The Manor! Just like the sign says =)

This is what The Manor is all about! Didn't get the name who owns it =)

The Butterfly Sanctuary! Better see what's inside =)

My sister and my nephew are havin fun =)

Both Superman and Spiderman are havin so much fun at the park! They're so much younger than I've seen on TV =)

Next stop after the Camp John Hay, the Crystal Caves! Took us about 20 minutes to get there from the Camp =)

We need to get there below! Are you kiddin' me! =)

Yeah, I think we have to go down there =) My sisters are terrified at a moment but what the heck, it's an experience =)

Wow! The body aches paid off =) it's fascinating inside, it's pitch black though, can't see a thing =)

Enjoying ourselves but we have to go deeper in the cave =) waiting for the bats to frighten us =)

The guide told us that the stones are forming something but I didn't catch it! Better listen next time =)

I think the guide told us that this resembles a group of bats! What do you think?

There, a much better view! Those really look like bats I tell you =)

Yeah I know, it's the same shot! Well, it's of different angle =)


This one is like an old man's hat! Something like a cowboy hat if you ask me =)

Behind the hat-looking-image, there is an Octopus there right! I can't argue with them when they say it is =)

On the way home, I can't help myself but to take this picture =) The moon is really full! Aw, I really need a DSLR next time =)

What's for Day 4? Well, sad to say that that would be our last day here at Baguio City! Better think twice where to go then...

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

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

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.
