Last Nov. 25, 2012 I flew to Baguio for the two- straight convention; one is for the PACSA and the other one is for the PART- Inc. annual convention. I was excited to see the summer capital of the Philippines for the second time around. Way back 2010 when I was a student then, I've visited Baguio for the same reason. The first experience was full of excitement with an idea that Baguio is one of a kind. It was really amazing to see the place when what you've had before was only a picture. I came to believe that pine trees exist and the temperature is completely different. Strawberry awed me for it was real "manol na kung manol" but it was a jaw- dropping experience to see that some things really are true.

In my second visit to Baguio after 2 years, there was nothing spectacular with the place. What matters this time was, this is little bit different because I had been there not as a student anymore but as a professional, so to count this is my first time as a RadTech to attend the seminar. Same places had awaited us, we visited same set of places; the burnham park and the boating experience, the minesview park and the giant dogs, the pink horses "ang lakas maka Nicki Minaj ng mga kabayo", the Igorot costume, the PMA, the Camp John Hay and the Pacquaio mansion and same old stories.
One remarkable thing happened this time is the foodplace named 50's diner. Wagas kung wagas maka serve ang restaurant. It was the heaviest breakfast in town I believe, it was picturesque of classic american resto and the ambiance of Hollywood was vividly evident in the place. Nevertheless I have enjoyed the experience, the travel, the company of my students and the whole vacation as I call it because it was a long- week official leave for me.
Looking forward for more years for Baguio experience. Thanks Riverside College though.
Sounds unfamiliar, tastes like no other. There were the words that came out from my mouth after taking a single bite of J.Co. dough nut. J.Co. dough nut was only introduced to me by my student, at first I thought it was just an exaggerated way of telling me that J.Co. is heaven. To be honest, it was a real heaven, I took the most emotional bite for my taste buds and it was like unforgettable. The dough is so soft, that when you bite, your teeth played deep and your lip messes with the toppings. 
It was never a disappointment to us waiting a couple of minutes under the radiant sun for the J.Co. to open. Folks do fall in line for the store to welcome the customers. Play your taste buds with their various flavors and toppings; alcapone, oreology were among the best seller flavors. 
The sweetest talk in town is all about J.Co.
