craving for vizco’s strawberry shortcake 🤤

12월 30일 2022년

Last December 25, my mother and I went to Baguio for a three day stay. We rode the bus going to Baguio and booked our tickets online. We rode the Genesis Premium bus which had an ample space of leg room, a lazy boy type chair, and a restroom onboard. We left around 12nn but we’re supposed to leave manila at 11am. There were a lot of stop overs in Manila- first at their Pasay bus terminal then to Cubao to load passengers. That’s why we left at 12nn. It was a short ride, around 4 hours. We arrived at the bus terminal in Baguio around 4:30pm.

We had a hard time getting on a taxi because it was a sunday and session road is closed to vehicles. So my mom and i walked to our hotel. It was a 30 minute walk but it felt like we were walking for an hour. I was out of breathe, occasionally removing my face mask to gasp for more air. The hotel we booked is in a residential area. We were so exhausted from walking that we took a rest for two hours before going out to get dinner.

We had dinner at 456 restaurant. My mom said it’s one of the oldest restos in the area and she and dad used to eat here back when my dad was building fastfood restos. We ordered fried vegetable noodles and mami. I didn’t get to finish the mami because I was already full but the food was delicious. The restaurant wasn’t that clean though and by dinner time, there were already a lot of tourists waiting for an empty seat.

After dinner, me and my mom went to SM Baguio to look for clothes she’ll use for the wedding. We basically went to baguio to attend a wedding but I told her I won’t attend because I do not know anyone except for a long time family friend whom I haven’t seen since I was 4. I helped her pick a green suit and black dress from H&M. After that, we ordered coffee and pastries at James Wright Cafe. I also bought a sourdough bread as a take out. We were able to get a taxi at SM Baguio to our hotel.

Since we only booked for one night in our hotel, we had to look for another available room but much nearer to Burnham Park and Session Road. We were able to book one at The Golden Pine Hotel.

Day 2

My mom and I woke up early to get a return bus tickets at Victory Liner. We had an early check-out and headed to Golden Pine Hotel to leave our bags then went to Victory Liner terminal to book tickets. We were able to get a premium seat.

We had lunch at Vizco’s Restaurant. We ordered chicken ceasar salad, beef caldereta, and pesto pasta. We also ordered a slice of strawberry cake.

After lunch, we headed to Golden Pine Hotel to check-in. We headed to our room (it’s a themed room so I didn’t get to take photos haha) and took a quick rest. My mom then headed to the wedding but waited for an hour to get a taxi. It was already late so she wasn’t able to attend and instead went to the reception. I was left alone and went out around 4:30pm to walk around Burnham Park. There were a lot of tourists so it was hard to get a quiet seat. I also walked around session road and check out the church. The side entrance of the church was so steep and high, I was breathless when I got to the top. After praying, I looked around the small bazaar beside it. I was able to buy a kamagong scratcher for dad haha. By 7pm I was exhausted and hungry so I headed back to the hotel since the night market opens at 8pm. I figured I’d eat my dinner there because there were food stalls.

By 8:30pm, I went out to check out the night market. Good thing the hotel is near so the walk took around 5minutes. I was so cautious because the night market was packed with people. Like people would push you so you have no choice but to follow the crowd. I was also disappointed because I wasn’t able to try the food because I hate waiting on line. There were a lot of food stalls but I only tried one- another fried noodles. I wasn’t able to put sauce on it so it was bland lol.

I was able to buy a few stuff for my brothers- a tshirt for ja, four boxer briefs for jan (that only costs 200php!) and a bucket hat for dad. I got to the hotel around 11pm. I was so hungry I couldn’t bring myself to get up and buy food. By 11:30 my mom arrived from the wedding. I went out to get some dinner and was able to find one across the street. I bought liempo.

I slept around 2am.

Day 3

I had breakfast at the hotel. It was complimentary. Though I got disappointed when I got my english breakfast- I thought the sausages were big.

We checked out from the hotel around 11am since we leave at 3pm. Good thing we checked out early because we had a hard time getting a taxi. For two hours. We were waiting for two hours to hail a taxi. By 1:30pm I was able to hail a taxi to take us to Victory Liner terminal. We got there around 2:20pm because of the traffic. Everyone’s going in and out of Baguio so the traffic was insane.

While waiting to board the bus, my mom went to SM Baguio to buy water and snacks. She ended up buying breads too. By 3pm, we boarded the bus. We were supposed to be seating in different seats but we were able to seat together in front of the bus driver.

The traffic going back to Manila was insane, too. Expressway was jam-packed. Good thing the bus took the skyway so we arrived in the pasay terminal around 8:30pm. We had to wait for another 30 minutes because my brother and dad parked at MOA seaside. They thought we’d arrived later.

We had dinner at Chowking. We got home around 11pm. Man, that was tiring.

Buti na lang nagtry ako. Ilang days ko na kasing plan na bigyan siya ng strawberry cake. After 2 weeks di ko na napigilan.

Thursday palang umorder na ko para ibigay ko ngayong sunday. Pagka pick up ko ng cake ay punta agad ako sa kanila. Kinabahan ako kasi siyempre surprise to. Di ko alam kung ano iisipin or mararamdaman niya. Ang plan ko ay ideliver lang talaga at alis din agad ako. Nagchat ako at tinawagan ko siya pero mukang tulog pa siya. Naisip ko tuloy na pwede ko namang iabot sa parents niya. Pero gusto ko siya makita.

After ilang minutes ay sinagot niya phone call ko. Tama ako, kakagising lang niya. Sinabi ko na baka pwede kang lumabas saglet kasi nandito ko at may ibibigay ako. "Nag abala ka pa. Ano ba yan? Bulaklak? Lechon?" yan mga tanong niya. Sabi ko ay di naman kakasya sa motor lechong baboy, lechong manok oo. Pero di ko alam bat naisip niya flowers. Siguro napifeel niya na gusto ko siyang ligawan. Masyado na yatang obvious yung nararamdaman ko para sa kanya.

Magbibihis lang daw siya at magpapaalam sa nanay niya na lalabas. Baka daw kasi tanungin siya kung san galing at para san yung bigay ko. Malayo palang siya at tanaw ko na nagbabike palapit sa akin ay di na mapigil sa mabilis na pagtibok ng puso ko. Ang ganda niya kahit kakagising palang. Paglapit niya sa akin ay lalong di ko mapigilan ang sarili ko na mahumaling sa kanya. Inabot ko yung cake. Masaya ako kasi nabigay ko na at panay thank you niya. Bago siya umalis ay nakipag fist bump siya. At nalusaw ko siya habang pinapanood magbike palayo.

Pag alis ko ay nag thank you siya sa chat. Sabi niya tawag daw ako. Panay thank you pa rin siya. Nagchat pa siya na grabe daw sa effort. Tas nasarapan din siya sa cake. Ang sarap sa pakiramdam kasi damang dama ko na naappreciate niya yung cake at effort ko. Lord, sana po siya na po ang para sa akin.

Baguio City: The happy place I want to visit, You should too!

When I was a child, I always hear the word Baguio from my parents and relatives. It is just funny to think that I used to think that Baguio was a typhoon, in tagalog 'bagyo'. I always hear from my mother and relatives using this dialect that I don't understand. Growing up, I always asked about Baguio and I found out that it was my mother's place. And my mom's dialect she always uses when talking to our relatives is called Ilocano. I came to think that I want to see the place where my mama grew up, and because of the good comments I have heard about Baguio, how beautiful it is, how refreshing and cool the air, and how simple their lives were. Baguio, also known as the Summer Capital of the Philippines. Established in around 1846 by the early spanish colonizers of the pine-covered highlands of the Benguet Province. As time passes by, Baguio was discovered and became the eight ancient wonder in the world.

After this pandemic, our whole family plans to visit and travel around Luzon, my Mom’s place and especially the summer capital. Baguio, on the Philippines’ Luzon island, is a mountain town of universities and resorts. Also called the “City of Pines,” it is particularly popular in summer due to unusually cooler weather. At its center is Burnham Park, with gardens and a lake. Nearby, Baguio Cathedral, completed in 1936, has a rose-hued exterior. The main thoroughfare is Session Road, lined with shops, restaurants and entertainment options.

Burnham Park is the place where people visit more. You can ride a bike, take a boat ride, or just walk around the park and enjoy the breathtaking place. It always feels like it is your first time whenever you visit it again and again. I remember my Mom and Sister’s voice reminiscing experiences there by even writing this. Oh, how excited I am for those bike and boat rides!

After spending time seeing the place, you will definitely be hungry and get something to eat especially in its cold weather, right? right!

The restaurants there have delicious foods that you will never forget. One of the most popular dishes is the bulalo steak sage, that warms your stomach in cold weather, it is very delicious! Here is the list of the 8 must-try bites and sips that are distinctly Baguio; Baguio Longganisa, Dipasupil, Strawberry Shortcake, Vizco's. Ube Jam, Strawberry Jam & Peanut Brittle, Good Shepherd, Raisin Bread, Baguio Country Club, Hot Chocolate, Choco-Late de Batirol, and Message In A Bottle, Baguio Craft Brewery.

Let's try the desserts!

"Great snacks while waiting for the bus.", "I just love these belgian waffles!" you can really tell how delicious it is! Well, Belgian waffles are ranked no. 4 out of 6 famous bakeries in Baguio. The highly recommended dessert shop in Baguio is the "Pamana lechon tsokolateria cafe", a chocolate shop located in Igorot Stairs, upper Rd. Actually you can just walk and not ride anymore because the cafe is just near the park.

Woh! I was suddenly hungry again hehe. Okay, let's move on!

I am pretty sure that you always hear the word 'Igorot', I am one of those called Igorot when in fact I am part of one of the various tribes which is Ifugao nevertheless say since people have kept on generalizing . Sometimes, people make fun of using this word and even use it to tease people who are dark, ignorant or just for stupid reasons. But in reality they just don't have any idea how wealthy they are in terms of money and of course in culture. I think the world has no idea on how they look right now, I don't know with you but do I look like someone you imagine a Igorot would look? Check my account and my whole "angkan" or clan's account (email me if you disagree,winks). Not much of the people and Filipinos know but this tribe have contributed so much in the country's overall food supply, like you know where does much of the "gulay" (vegetable) comes from. Igorots have massively influenced the Philippine's Agriculture. Though, true enough not all of those who farm are greatly blessed as much as the overall farmers but here in the Philippines as we know, most of the looked down poorest are such.

The Igorot are any of various ethnic groups in the mountains of northern Luzon, Philippines, all of whom keep, or have kept until recently, their traditional religion and way of life. Some live in the tropical forests of the foothills, but most live in rugged grassland and pine forest zones higher up. They are clustered in the Cordillera region of Luzon. It is true that they are famous for rice-terrace farming but saying that some of them have been known to be cannibals in the past is an exaggeration which only downgrades them. While the rice terraces were important to the Ifugao economy, they also served a cultural function, requiring intensive cooperation among the people. By the early 21st century, however, the number of Ifugao in the area had greatly diminished as many migrated to more urban centres. Meanwhile, Ifugao is a province in the Philippines situated in the Cordillera Administrative Region., which I have mentioned earlier we are part of or where my Mom is originally from.

But it would be great to give some amazing facts about igorots:

1.) The first ever Filipino to ride an airplane is an igorot - In february 1912, during a manila carnival celebration, Governor Walter Hare invited 120 tribes men from the cordilleras. One of the tribe's men named Gagaban who is an igorot chief accepted the American pilot Lee Hammond's invitation to fly with him. Before Gagaban, no other native had ever flown as a passenger.

2.) The first ever igorot beauty queen that captured the heart of manila - At just age 13, Eveline Chainus Guirey was the most famous beauty who cost a massive sensation in Manila in 1902. She was the eldest of the ten children of the Guirey family. She was the youngest beauty ever in the history of Philippines Manila carnival.

3.) The Igorots were never slaves by the spaniards because they fought for their independence - Contrary to the history textbooks that are commonly used in schools in the country which are stating , "We can never know the history of the FIlipino people during the Spanish period because they were slaves to the Spaniards or at least forced to play the role of slaves." The Igorots were never actually slaves of the Spaniard nor did they play the role of slaves. On the contrary of these books, Spanish records make it clear that they fought for their independence with every means at their disposal for 3 centuries and that resistance to invasion was deliberate, self-conscious and was continuous.

Additional Trivia would be that originally slash-and-burn farmers, they have since begun to practice more sustainable forms of farming. The Isneg are also known as good fishers, and have a penchant for coffee. Kalinga. The Kalinga tribes are perhaps the most diplomatic of all the Igorot.

Strawberry picking completes Baguio tourist’s experience!

LA TRINIDAD, Benguet-- This capital town of Benguet not only receives a spillover of the tourists who go to Baguio but also a visit here completes the experience of the visitors to the country’s summer capital, through its strawberry picking activity. Strawberries in Baguio are the best. Let us not forget strawberry picking!

What is your happy place? Where is that certain place you can consider as your epitome of tranquility? Well for me that would be family and that makes me want to make Baguio one of those I can call my wonderland. A place where I can also take not just a lot of instagramable pictures to post or put on my day stories but memories stored in my heart that I could share with my future children (forgive my futuristic approach,laughs). Memorabilias that I could gather with my family, Oh how wonderful it is to be able to witness and experience such culture and sights that have not just cultivated a lot of inspiration not just around the country but the entire world. Just imagine that historic park that couldn’t even be compared to the famous parks in other countries or how about that luscious strawberries that you can pick on your own. I don’t know about you but one thing this pandemic has made me realize is to live to the fullest, it would be great that we could go back and see the world or visit some of its God given majestic place nevertheless it would be greater to be able to see your own country’s tourist destination. I mean, we can not be just a tourist to other countries, right? Let us go ahead and visit to experience our very own. My very own, Baguio! Voila!

We were supposed to go out at night on our first day pero we prefer to stay sa condo kasi my parents are tired and they need to rest para the next day may energy pa sila. 

I woke up too early because I thought mag-attend na kami ng mass pero sabi nila sa gabi nalang daw before mag dinner. Pero nag-ayos parin ako kasi sabi nila aalis na daw kami at pupunta na kami sa first destination namin which is Strawberry Farm at La Trinidad. 

Syempre nag effort na ako magbihis na magmukhang tourist. Char. Eh minsan lang naman kasi mag travel kaya nag-suot ako ng long dress (makikita niyo sa mga next blog post ko or dito rin makikita niyo rin naman sa photo collages ko).

We took a jeep going to the farm since gusto ng parents ko na makatipid kami. It’s fun to ride din naman sa jeep sa unfamiliar places kasi you get a chance to see different people inside the jeep and how they talk. I am not tsismosa, okay? HAHAHAHAHAHA. I mean it’s fun to see different faces and hear them talking about their lives sa Baguio tapos may iba rin naman they’re not speaking Tagalog. I wish may alam ako na ibang language from PH.

Pagdating namin sa Strawberry Farm ang dami na agad ng tao tapos ang hirap maglakad since naka-sandals ako pero wapakels kasi kailangan panindigan ang outfit. Sayang di ako nakapag strawberry picking kasi nga naka-sandals lang ako and maputik. Kaya yung farmer nalang ang kumuha for us ng strawberry. Kung may dala lang kami na car may iba pang bibilhin yung parents ko like vegetables or mas madaming strawberry pa.

Our next stop was a quick stop lang since ang gusto ko lang talaga is mag picture. It’s so nice to see the Valley of Colors. They said na kaya naging ganyan ang itsura nung mga bahay kasi may mga visitors from ASEAN Summit (not sure) kaya they made this concept na pinturahan yung mga bahay. 

Sa Bencab Museum talaga ang plan namin puntahan pero dahil sayang sa oras lalo na ang travel time, we decided na sa mga malalapit nalang na lugar kami pumunta. Our third stop was at Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto... Nakakapagod umakyat! As far as I know 200 steps ang stairs nila. 

Pero worth it naman yung pagod pag-akyat kasi ang ganda nung place lalo na yung chapel nila, solemn yung ambiance. I had a chance to pray and mag light ng candle to give thanks to God and Our Lady of Lourdes kasi I was given a chance to go there and I feel so blessed.

Our next top... Diplomat Hotel. Since malapit lang siya sa grotto pinuntahan na namin. I was so excited to go to this place kasi haunted and abandoned hotel siya. Nung nakita ko na malayo palang, I am scared and excited at the same time kasi I used to see the place sa photos lang pero now nakita ko na siya. Nung naglalakad ako around the vicinity, ang scary talaga kasi feel ko parang nasa horror movie ako and anytime may manggugulat sa akin. 

Infairness naman maganda ang view sa rooftop pero grabe ang init nun kasi tirik ang araw. Buti nalang talaga wala akong dala na jacket kasi mainit talaga. Naisip ko nga baka umitim ako pero wapakels kasi alam ko naman na di ako iitim and naka-long dress naman ako.

Nag taxi na kami going back to the plaza kasi pagod na pagod na kami maglakad. Nag snack muna kami sa Greenwich, hindi na kami nakapili ng kakainan kasi gutom na talaga kami kaya kung ano yung una namin na nakita na kainan dun na kami kumain. Right after namin kumain, pumunta kami sa public market para bumili ng pasalubong. 

Tapos pumunta na kami ng Good Shepherd Convent para dun bumili ng Ube Jam. Unsure kasi kami kung bibili kami sa labas baka di naman original at ang mahal. Tama rin yung decision namin na pumunta ng Good Shepherd Convent kasi mas mura dun ang Ube Jam kahit traffic okay lang kasi we had a chance na pumunta din dun. Kumain ulit kami kasi may snack place dun. 

Bumalik muna kami sa condo after namin pumunta ng Good Shepherd to rest kasi by night aalis kami to attend mass, eat dinner and pumunta ng night market. Nung pag-uwi namin dun ko nafeel yung sakit ng tuhod ko sa right, sobrang sakit pero push lang kasi last day naman na namin sa Baguio. 

Mga 5:00 PM kami umalis para pumunta sa Baguio Cathedral. Mga 6:00 PM yung mass na pinuntahan namin kaya while waiting, pumunta muna ako sa mall para kumain ng snack kasi gutom nanaman ako. Right after ng mass, naghanap na kami ng pwedeng kainan ng dinner. Kumain kami sa Sizzling House sa may Session Road. Ang daming serving nung sisig nila at busog na busog ako. Pumunta rin kami ng Vizco’s to buy Strawberry Shortcake and Oreo Cheesecake.

Last stop namin sa Baguio Night Market, pag punta namin dun nag aayos palang yung mga tao ng mga binebenta namin kaya tumambay muna kami somewhere. Dun ko na nafeel yung sakit ng tuhod ko, I mean parehong tuhod ko sobrang sakit talaga. Nakadress at naka-denim jacket ako nun, sobrang lamig pa nun kaya sumakit lalo yung tuhod ko. Uwing uwi na ako talaga! Since naghahanap pa yung tatay ko ng pwede bilhin, naghanap narin ako ng pwedeng bilhin. I am so lucky I got two pajamas and one sweatpants. Nung tapos na kami mamili ng mga pwedeng bilhin sa night market, bumalik ka kami agad ng condo to rest.

Ang aga ko nanaman nagising the next day. Kill time muna kasi 11:20 AM pa ang balik namin ng Manila. Sobrang mamimiss ko yung weather sa Baguio kasi ang weather dito sa Manila parang madedemonyo ka na. I am looking forward to go back to Baguio and puntahan yung mga places na di ko pa napupuntahan.

Thank you sa parents ko kasi sila ang gumastos sa travel. Akala ko talaga di mangyayari na magttravel kami pero eto na nga nakapagtravel na kami. Sayang nga lang wala na si Ate Mara, pero alam ko naman na masaya siya sa heaven at nakikita kami na naka punta kami sa Baguio. Hehe.

Thank you @begoodstoreph and @bsaguinaldo for bringing this delectable Baguio Strawberry Shortcake all the way from Vizco’s @baguiobakes 😋 Love the tartness of the fresh strawberries mixed into the cake, generously frosted with cream.
