THE DAY I DECIDED TO GO UP BAGUIO


" Going up North on my own was a sudden decision. I had no regrets plowing my already tired body and mind, exposing myself to more than 5 hours travel on bus back and forth on the same day. It was done partly out of boredom, partly out of a want to escape and find some time to sort things out. It's been a long time since i went to my birthplace... and despite of the congestion of its city, Baguio never lost its appeal.

I met some interesting people along the way. People nice enough to share snippets of their harrowed lives with me, glad to have someone listen to it. Also, cheerful and helpful locals. People amazed at my solo-flight tour of their hometown. I have to admit i was initially apprehensive with this decision of mine considering my many bad experiences, but i was thankful God assured my safety... There just may be some hope for this world"
