Still in luv w/da place. Wish I had a magic wand to rid our city of criminals and bad elements. Luv all our good restaurants but will never set my foot at SM. This place just gives me da creeps for some reason. Da thought of Hyatt Plaza crumbling during da 1990 earthquake just petrifies, and looking at the architectural configuration of this SM, it won't survive w/da same magnitude. It's just me, and by no means trying to scare anyone. Live your own life.

Like you, I ...I so agree with everything you wrote. <BR/><BR/>Like you, I am both exasperated and in love with Baguio. I love the place, can't stand the folks living in it sometimes. Small town, small minds. Being way, way older than you, I remember times when we had many more tourists than today and it was still oh, so lovely and very manageable. Because there were not that many residents then. You see, Baguio is suffering from the environmental impact of so many bodies trashing the place 365 days a year. Gimme the tourists anytime, send the migrants back to their provinces. And regulate the diploma mills!<BR/><BR/>I have included your blog in my blogroll under "The Baguio Connection," which is exclusively for past & present residents of Baguio. <BR/><BR/>Keep blogging! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-668137273721176495.post-55219424039856947972007-03-20T17:46:00.000+08:002007-03-20T17:46:00.000+08:00lyn: hi lyn, thanks for dropping by! i think we ca...<B>lyn:</B> hi lyn, thanks for dropping by! i think we can forgive our hometowns all their faults. :)<BR/><BR/><B>exskindiver:</B> i'm glad you liked the kikay bag article. i enjoyed writing that one. it's one of my favorite posts. that's why i couldn't leave it behind in my old url :)<BR/><BR/>i've had no problems with this template so far. when i was over at your site, the page loaded just fine. i agree with you about readability. i chose this one because it's simple and isn't so cluttered.<BR/><BR/><B>jr's thumbprints:</B> i'm really interested to find out what people are writing in their blogs, but it's hard to stem all of the information. i'm still getting used to all this random clicking. anyhoo, thanks for dropping by!<BR/><BR/><B>josh:</B> but aren't you just proud of andok's? they're really moving on up there. have you seen 300 yet?kubiyathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06392920019795971967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-668137273721176495.post-79252452739241506242007-03-20T13:19:00.000+08:002007-03-20T13:19:00.000+08:00Home will always be home. I consider Baguio to be ...Home will always be home. I consider Baguio to be one my three favorite places on Earth (depending on my mood, hehe. The other two being Makati and Palawan)<BR/><BR/>I remember all through out HS and College I just couldn't wait to get out of Baguio - to nowhere in particular - I just wanted a bigger city, haha.<BR/><BR/>Now I live in a city about 3x the size of Baguio, and about as far away from Baguio as I can get I guess, and I'd rather be in Baguio right now. :P<BR/><BR/>Although it's funny, it seems Baguio has changed so much yet it has still managed to retain it's charm. (To me at least)<BR/><BR/>After being gone for almost 2 years it really felt great to be walking down Session Rd again with a silly grin on my face that I just couldn't wipe off. :D Then stopping to stare at the bright "new" Andok's resto, haha.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-668137273721176495.post-79266069911850392802007-03-20T12:07:00.000+08:002007-03-20T12:07:00.000+08:00I fairly seldom go out in public anymore; that's w...I fairly seldom go out in public anymore; that's where I used to people watch.
