Baguio City... The City of Pines (Day 4)

Day 4, the supposedly last day of our stay at Baguio City! So before we condition ourselves to go home for tomorrow, we have to visit Good Shepperd, Mines View and the Botanical Garden.

We might not cover all the beautiful places here at Baguio City, but we have to enjoy what we can. So for our last day, please accompany us as we visit these places...

Enjoy =)

What else can I say, welcome to The Good Shepherd =)

Found ourselves at the corner of Good Shepherd Convent and the not-so-readable-street-sign =)

Good thing we didn't brought the horses =)

I didn't get the name whose patron is this, well maybe next time i'll tell you =)

'nuff said right! But can't help myself to pick one! Just kiddin', i content myself just taking pictures =)


You can't see this at Good Shepherd's, not at Mine's View either, this was just standing on the road on the way to the Convent =)

Can't help myself, thought it was funny an Igorota texting someone! Or just maybe, she was asked to take some pics =)

After the Mine's View, we went to The Botanical Garden! My nephew insisted =)

There's a silver shoppe nearby, why not pay a visit, might bought something for someone =)

Those were statues of, well I don't know really! It's already getting dark when I took this =)

A woman carrying her two sons, forgot to copy what's written below there =)

Yeah I know! I should have copied what's written on their what, tomb?

Cutting the story short =) time to go home! As always, bus from Baguio to Manila =)

Ahh can't have much to satisfy yourself! Hope we can go back soon =)

It's getting dark but, didn't fail to take some pics along the way =)

The lahar area still visible at some part of the Pampanga City =)

I will be happier if this was taken via DSLR! I'm really dying to buy one =)

Last shot of the day, the sunset with a, a tower? I don't know what that is =)

Well, that's it! Our short but really relaxing, enjoyable, bonding and stress reliever escapade to the City of Pines, the Baguio City. Hope you can join us again as we visit some cool places in the Philippines.

Cheerio! =)

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
