Baguio Weekend

For someone who's maternal grandfather drove a bus to Baguio and whose parents met there, I am the only person in the family who's never been there. I don't go out that often, you see.

Last weekend, we headed to Baguio for this event we committed to. Because we were not allowed to take leaves during earnings season, we just swapped schedules with people with earlier schedules.

We were able to take the 6 a.m. bus to Baguio after work. May nagsabi sa amin na buti at nakaalis kami agad sa ofis dahil nag-crash daw lahat sa system namin at ayaw nila magpauwi ng mga tao. Medyo nakakatawa.

So Meow and I had little sleep. It's a good thing the bus ride was nice. I like looking at large expanse of fields and greens. It's very refreshing.

We arrived in Baguio and had to look for Oh My Gulay!, a vegetarian restaurant/gallery where the exhibit was to take place. We arrived there to see a bunch of seemingly snotty young people. We left our pictures with the group and looked for a hotel, then we headed back to V.O.C.A.S. This time we were able to really work. We were assigned to to post the pictures on the wall. The first wall was done by a bunch of people, so it was hard to pitch in.

We were asked to make a wall. We had that one just for ourselves. There were really nice pictures from the group. I still wonder why we were left alone to do that.

The arrangement mostly was the concept of Meow. She arranged the pictures applying design theories (even if she wouldn't admit it), while I just pitched in and gave some suggestions.

It turned out nice, and we hope we gave the pictures justice. I'll probably post how it looked on a later post (I only brought film cameras). Oo nga pala, di nyo makikita ang kulay pag lumabas na kasi B&W at grayscale lang film na meron ako nung panahon na yun. Kailangan pa i-process.

And yes, we were able to finally meet nice and fun people. Artists are the coolest people ever.

Because of our lack of sleep. We headed to a nearby resto, ate and got back to the hotel. As much as we wanted to be in the concert, 36+++ hours of being awake got the better of us and slept until later that Sunday. So if may mapadpad dito na ka-grupo, pasensya na.

I was able to take a LOT of pictures the next day. We also had lunch at VOCAS, and the food was really great. The place reminded me a lot of Angono's Balao-Balao resto, maybe because it was also an artist resto and had so many wood and sculpture there. May tile mosaic sa men's room, at sabi ni Meow, pati din sa CR ng mga babae.

Sa lahat yata ng nagpunta sa Baguio, kami ata ang kapos sa pera, tulog at oras dahil kinailangan na namin bumalik sa Maynila ng hapon.

Eto pala ang mga sinali ko:

It looked better printed on paper.
