<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The past few months have been ridiculously busy and all I could think of a better way to unwind is to plan for a sweet expedition in the coming months.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Crossing my fingers that I would be granted with my requested leave of absence though.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Me and my travel buddy are thinking of going international backpacking for a month or so.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Discovered Iloilo for the first time and many thanks to Cebu Pacific Seat Sales for a hundredth time. haha.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For starters, Iloilo City was our side trip during that time. We were actually headed for Boracay Island however we had a one day idle time so we spent wandering around the highly urbanized city.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Iloilo City manifests </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">historical structures inspired by the early Spanish colonial times. Strolling around the city and the distant towns felt like traveling back in the 16th century. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wanderland 2013 - It was the first ever indie music and arts festival in the Philippines. Held last May 18, 2013 at Globe Circuit Grounds in Makati City. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This was the closest thing to Coachella so imagine the excitement and enthusiasm me and my friends felt at that time. It was also the first music festival that I have ever been to. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We arrived at the venue round 1 pm and the place was already jam packed with people. I enjoyed watching the assortment of individuals who dressed their part during the event. The popular accessory that time was definitely the flower head dress. There were these hippie chicks, bohemian styles, rock star get ups, dainty ensembles, dreamy wardrobes and some bizarre-looking-but-they-actually-nailed-it looks. </span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The next good thing I appreciate about the festival is that the venue was grand. The place was perfect because it was spacious and everyone had the chance to lay their mats/ sarongs without invading each other's personal spaces. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">***</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We were not allowed to bring food and drinks from outside because they had available food stalls in the area. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One thing I had to comment on though is that the food stalls were not enough. I think the huge number of festival goers was underestimated because some of the food stalls run out of their supplies/ ingredients. For someone who has fast metabolism and easily gets hungry like me, I would not desire to have to wait on que that long. To make this more convenient, they could have at least brought in some vending machines to supply food/drinks which was really important to keep the people from being dehydrated especially the crowd was mostly exposed under the heat of the sun. </span><br />

It was a good thing though that there were plenty of portalets available around. Although you could not expect that the cubicles could remain pleasant looking, at least it did not stink that much but nonetheless it was still disgusting.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> More to that, there were inflatables and velcro wall available around to unleash the inner child in you and some live painting, some rad stalls like Ray Ban</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> , Roxy, Quicksilver, etc.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The best part of the outdoor festivity was the music. Of course, it was the main reason why we actually flew from Cebu to Manila just to see our favorites perform live. The line up was awesome that showcased a variety of artists from different parts of the world. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First few to perform were the homegrown artists, Taken By Cars (my personal preference).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I was stoked to see them on the flesh since I became an avid fan of their electro, new wave music back in my college days. It was a nostalgic moment to hear them live. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Then came in Pulso with overwhelming instruments that reminded me of Explosions in the Sky. She's Only Sixteen was surprising as well. I have never heard of them but when they did their thing on the stage, I fell in love. Then there was Yolanda Moon with a jazzy feel that calmed the atmosphere.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Next in line were the international artists. Colour Coding performed first but unfortunately I did not get to witness them as me and some of my friends had to attend to something emergent. However my friend who apparently stayed there told us they were pretty awesome. :)</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Avalanche City entered the stage and brought in folk music feel. The cheerful vocals of their front man plus the soothing violin and the country-ish rhythm of their songs got us up in our dancing feet.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The late afternoon was preparing for the sunset however the festivity just got better and better. Tully on Tully killed it on stage. Their female lead vocals was a delight to our sight as she was one hell of a performer with striking tangerine dress and long blonde hair, she executed their songs well with her powerful vocals and charming accompaniment. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I appreciate the fact that they were so particular with their music.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><b>Day 9 - March 22, 2012</b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This officially marked the last day of our 10 day Northern Luzon expedition. (I missed the first day when my friends went to Zambales due to conflicts on my work schedule.). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was an idle time in Clark since we did not have any definite plans. We just wanted to relax before flying back to the reality in our hometown, Cebu.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We arrived round 9:30 in the evening the night before and we didn't have a place to spend the night. As usual, we were being spontaneous again. Trust me, it was not easy for us to find a decent place to spend the night. While on the bus to Clark from Baguio we dialed our significant others back home and asked them a favor to search on the internet if they could find any modest stay inns etc. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally we agreed to stay on a budget friendly hotel however it was something unusual. It was kind of old and the rooms were a bit weary. I mean what do you expect, it was a low cost hotel so you get what you pay. The place really needed some serious renovation but despite everything else, the staffs were accommodating and lovely and they had shuttle services too. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Therefore, it was not bad after all. :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">***</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As reality started to sink in, I thank God for giving me the opportunity to embark such an experience of a lifetime. The spontaneous moments, laugh trips, amazing and well grounded friends, new friends from around the world, challenging physical activities, gastronomical and affordable eats, quality shut eye, breathtaking landscapes, pristine turquoise waters, the annoying and incoherent drunk, long hour bus rides, inconvenient wash rooms etc.. . . </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Traveling would never be the same.. . :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">***</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> To recap, here is a video arranged by my dear 'Pre', Leigh of eltorrefranca.blogspot.com with Fader by The Temper Trap as our official 10 day track. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What better way to travel towards Sagada than to experience toploading.on a jeepney. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Excuse my funny face in the photo. Hee. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The sun was really radiant that day however the cool breeze, the scenic mountain views, lush greens, soothing waterfalls and some impeccable rice terraces seem to add comfort during the risky ride.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Risky I say because we were just like a few meters away from the cliff side of the road. Anything could happen that time you know. God forbid. Good thing was the roads were cemented. However there were blind curves, there were no uneven paths or the like. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Moving on, we were totally enjoying the scenic ride to Sagada. It took two hours and I tried my best not to fall asleep. I could be narcoleptic sometimes you know. Haha. I could just sleep in any position I'm on. To avoid from being drowsy, we kept ourselves busy taking videos and joking about anything under the sun. </span></div>

Not every one though is capable to be buried this way. As one of the locals said, someone has to be a pure blooded Igorot who had been married and had offsprings. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some of the coffins appeared to be relatively small and we wondered how a person could fit in such a small funerary box. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We were then told that there was a certain burying process. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When the person dies, he/she was usually assumed in a fetal position. The locals believed that when a person dies, he/she should look like the first time he came into this world. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After which the remains would be placed inside their homes so people who knew the departed could come see him for the last time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To prevent the dead body from emitting an unpleasant odor, the family burns certain leaves and let the smoke surround and consume the bad odor of the corpse. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After a few days, the dead body was then placed in the wooden coffins and hanged on the foot of the mountains or hills in Sagada. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">***</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Day one was almost over and we spent the rest of the time just strolling around the cold and quiet town. Not to mention, Sagada had great eats! Every restaurant we went to had surprisingly delicious food with really big servings in such reasonable costs. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We were like indulging in a food feast. Everything was so delicious whether it be a Filipino or American inspired dishes. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The cave connection experience was not just about the adventure but it was educational as well. </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Stalactites, stalagmites, columns, drapery, etc. are just about few words that I added in my vocabulary.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After a long day, we gathered around in our favorite restaurant The Lemon Pie House for our supper as it was our last night in Sagada.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our friend, Primoz from Slovenia tagged along as we exchanged interesting stories and travel experiences and indulged on some tasty lemon pies and hot lemon tea. :)</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So it was time to bid farewell to this beautiful and tranquil town. We bought a few souvenirs. I remember purchasing organic orange marmalade and blueberry jam because it was soooo good. :) I got me some sweet smelling coffee beans as well as my mother is fond of drinking coffee. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We finally left Sagada with mild sore bodies from spelunking, full stomachs from all the gastronomical delights, updated knowledge about some basic facts about the town and about life in general and a heavy heart full of happiness and laughter. :)</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fast Facts: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* The Banaue Rice Terraces is a 2000 year old terraces that are engraved into the mountains of Ifugao in the Philippines.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* It was technically commenced and manually done by the ancestors of the indigenous locals. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* The terraces is nourished by an ancient irrigation system from the rain forests situated just above the rice terraces.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><u><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">S</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ource: Wikipedia</span></span></u></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* Each terrace or more belonged to a certain family.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* The locals have this belief of associating their photos taken with death. So if you want their pictures taken, you have to ask for their permission first because some of them find it really undesirable. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Though some of them allow it in exchange for small bills / coins. :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* Amazingly, the native people speak very good English. They even can not entirely comprehend the national language, Tagalog. I just found out from the sister of a friend of mine that long ago, they were educated by the missionaries.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Everything made sense. .. :)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the best things about traveling is you get to meet interesting people from different parts of the world. First off there were these travel enthusiasts from Australia. Actually one of them found out about the rice terraces through this book, 1000 Places To See Before You Die. Apparently he had done over 500 places already. OKAY. Haha. Seriously, I envy that man. Good for him. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then there's Riko from Japan. She was very bubbly and her happy disposition lights up the mood of the day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> She's one kick ass lady as she also journeyed on a solo travel to India one time when she was 18. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Talk about courage and independence. \m/</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Lastly there was Chris from Germany. After tagging along with us during the trek and playing card games with us during the evening back in the lodging house, he ended up with a face marked with red lipstick on. Haha. Super :)</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"> ***</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The experience in Batad made me ponder about a lot of things pertaining life in general. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It positively altered my perception in the way I perceive and fathom certain matters in life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For instance, it is amazing how they actually keep the tradition alive by persistently planting rice on the terraces manually with minimal equipment every single day under the scorching heat of the sun. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's no easy feat and it's a great deal of sacrifice. They have to endure it every single day so they can feed their families and they could make income out of it. Cultivating the soil, harvesting the rice crops; they have been doing this for thousands of years and passed on the deed from one generation to the next.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">More to that, in order for them to reach the upper town, they have to travel on foot for about 30 minutes or more up hill and on those uneven paths they have to cross or worse, if necessary, they would carry along on their shoulders heavy loads just to transport these items up to the uptown.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However, despite all the inconveniences, they all managed to live a peaceful, happy, simple and contented life. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">***</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I told myself then that I never had the right to complain in the first place. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That each and everyday is a new life and a new blessing. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That great sacrifice pays off well in time. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That it never hurts to live each day like it was your first time and</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> we should appreciate every single circumstance may it be good or bad.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fact: Traveling is never a convenient experience. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You have to be living on your rucksacks/ suitcases. You could never predict what will happen next. Moreover, some of your expectations are not met and some circumstances just don't allow matters to go on your way. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, fuck inconvenience. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Traveling will always be my passion.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">***</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So finally it was the fifth day of our 10 day expedition and some </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">few interesting moments happened during the time we ventured from Vigan-Baguio-Ifugao.. . .</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1) We had no definite plan as to where to go next from Vigan. Originally it was supposedly Vigan - Baguio - Sagada. However, we figured we had one extra day to spend an</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> idle time. So we opt to go for Ifugao instead before going to Sagada because we figured things would work out well with that plan. We even had to research in the internet station just to figure out what to do and what not. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whatever. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just go with the flow, we muttered as we all shrugged off our dilemmas. Haha. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2) We had to take a bus ride from Vigan to Baguio which took around six hours. After we had our whole day tour around Vigan, we already checked out from the hotel at 12 noon that day. We just left our bags in the hotel for safety as we went wandering around the city. At the end of the day, we felt the need to wash up before we took the evening bus ride. The problem was we did not have a place to wash up. The hotel where in we left our bags charged us an impractical cost just for the use of their bathroom. We turned down the chance anyway and headed straight to the terminal. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, there's this thing called hygiene first before convenience. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So what we did together with a friend of mine is that we took our tumblers, found a bucket and good thing there was a faucet with running water and bathed ourselves inside the PUBLIC restroom in Vigan's bus terminal. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know right?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3) The freezing atmosphere and the dark city streets welcomed us as we arrived in Baguio City round 4 am in the morning. We were all tired from lack of sleep so we rode towards the terminal where the bus ride to Ifugao departs. Hoping to get bus seats to Ifugao, we were told that the first trip would retreat not until 8 in the morning. Great. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After we secured bus tickets, we stayed in a 24 hour eatery to spend idle time until we have to leave from Baguio. Everything was going fine and we even caught up some shut eye until this drunk and incoherent man started approaching us. We totally ignored him at first but then he became persistent and annoying. I was starting to get pissed off but I did not blew up my temper because I knew something worse may happen at that time and our safety was at stake. Good thing the security officer of that establishment sought help from the police and eventually the drunk man left after almost 2 hours. .. .. for good. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Phew!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4) Finally, we ventured towards Banaue, Ifugao and endured another 8 hour long bus ride. Take note, 8 hours on broad day light. Kill me now.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Actually, I have no problem with regards to long bus rides as long as it is in an evening or night time because I could just doze off whenever I want to. But in day time, I get easily distracted with the light and I can not help but to stay awake. Good luck to me. My cryptochromes seemed to function well. (x.x) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was my first time on the road for 8 long hours in broad day light but I was glad that I was able to manage. I mean I had no choice anyway. I am the type of person who does not skip meals but unfortunately I remember not having a decent meal at that time. My feast consisted mainly of soda crackers and water. And maybe some street food after we had a few bus stops along the way. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But who cares. I was going to Banaue, Ifugao. Not everybody had the chance to go there. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yet I did. Screw inconvenience! Pssh.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5) Finally at around six in the evening, we arrived in the beautiful and bustling little town of Banaue, Ifugao. It was not what I was expecting. At first I pictured a quiet, quaint and rustic setting but instead, there were so many people out on the streets. Maybe half of the population were people from around the world. There were plenty of restaurants, the vegetable market was still alive and kicking, an array of souvenir shops and there were a number of accommodations to choose from so we did not have a hard time scouting for a place to stay. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The moment we checked in in our chosen lodging house we immediately grabbed some decent meal. And God, did it feel like heaven. :D</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b><i>Day 4 - March 17, 2012</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">After getting some quality shut eye, we woke up to a beautiful morning in Vigan, Ilocos Sur. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Realizing we had ample time to spend the entire day wandering around the Hispanic town, we decided to don our presentable ensembles to add up a stylish feel in our tour. Haha.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">To mention few facts about Vigan, it is generally the capital of the province of Ilocos Sur, Philippines. It is a World Heritage Site and it is one of the few Hispanic towns left in the country. Vigan is recognized for its cobblestone streets and unparalleled construction that blends Philippine, Oriental and European inspired edifices and architecture. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Vigan had a lot to offer. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">We headed towards the humble abode of their reputable governor, Chavit Singson. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Little did we know this Filipino politician was fond of the wildlife.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> Hence, the renowned Chavit Singson's Baluarte.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">***</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Baluarte was not just an ordinary zoo where in animals were surrounded with steel bars and maintaining a social distance is mandatory.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">It was a different way in Baluarte.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">It was more of an interactive wildlife sanctuary that allows its visitors first-hand experience in learning the protection and conservation of endangered species and wildlife. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">More to that, the vast stretch of the field and scenic boulders were as captivating as the sky high trees and luscious greens that surrounded the entire landscape.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Completed </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">in the 18th century, the church is famous for its distinct facade and is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Recently, it was under renovation as you can see structures of bamboo being set up around the church. However, the remodeling was interrupted as ordered by Imelda Marcos because the handwork did not appear appealing to her. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Repairing ancient structures like this is not an easy feat. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">It generally takes time and a large amount of effort because you have to be meticulous in handling such detailed and delicate architecture. .. </span><br />

Posed outside the Mausoleum. The inside atmosphere was gloomy and dim lighted with fresh white flowers surrounding the glass coffin that encased the late President's lifelike wax figure. It felt rather cold as the air conditioning was put to a high level to keep the preserved figure intact. The experience was kind of eerie. The preserved figure looked really true to life you could almost convince yourself that the president only succumbed in to a deep sleep. </div>

As we started to head out back to Laoag from Batac, we found these outside the museum. Fortunately, the lady selling these native rice delicacy offered us a free taste.<br />
It was really delicious. It was actually a mixture of coconut meat, cheese, margarine, sugar and viscous rice in a young bamboo or 'tubong' in local term.<br />
I wish I could bring home some but unfortunately it had an expiry date. We have yet to travel 3 more destinations and bringing these around would not be so convenient and it might rather spoil the food.<br />
tsk tsk.<br />
Maybe next time perhaps. ;)<br />

After wandering around Batac, we headed to some cheap restaurtants to fill in our hungry stomachs with some of Ilocos Norte's delightful eats!<br />

Laoag's very own version of empanada. like EMPANADA to be exact.<br />
I have never seen an empanada this HUGE! haha.<br />
In my local hometown, Cebu, empanadas were made small with a starchy and pie like texture that contains meat, carrots, potatoes and raisins.<br />
Laoag's different, theirs include rice flour for the crispy crust; fillings include egg, mongo sprouts, grated papaya and in special, Ilocos longanisa.<br />
It is usually paired with a catsup or Ilocos vinegar. I prefer mine with vinegar though. The catsup tends to mask the authentic taste of the empanada.<br />
***<br />
We also treated ourselves with Miki. It is a chicken flavored soup with dense consistency with thick home made noodles, chicharon bits topped with hard boiled egg and chicken floss. I believe the recipe varies according to the cook's preference however I find this soup very appealing to the taste buds. ;)<br />

The lunch was made even more special as we get to know our tourist guides brothers, Jeremy and Eric Rosal. They were very accommodating and had impressive knowledge about Ilocos Norte in general. We shared a few laughs and joked around until it was time for us to head to our next adventure: PAOAY.<br />

G</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">oing there, you have to overcome an unpleasant rocky road ride which was 3.1 kilometers long.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><i>March 15, 2012</i></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">After months of wishing, hoping and waiting, circumstances finally allowed me to join my friends and embarked on a 10 - day long and majestic journey towards the Northern part of Luzon. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">***</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I had to miss our supposedly DAY 1 itinerary to Zambales due to certain conflicts in my work schedule. So I arrived in Manila the next day for my DAY 1 trip towards Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">***</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">It was very challenging in my part because I traveled alone towards the capital and I have to meet up with my friends at the GV Florida Bus Liner Terminal situated in Cubao, Quezon City, which was 30 minutes away from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. I was not really acquainted with the city so I was so fortunate enough though that my cousin fetched me and accompanied me in navigating towards the bus terminal. He honestly confessed though that he was not much oriented as well as to how to get there however, I was glad I was armed with my ever reliable Metro Manila map. So after contemplating about my chances for making it on time in the terminal, we opted for the cab instead of the MRT/LRT because we figured we could not make it there by 8 pm, which was the scheduled time of the bus to leave for Pagudpud as I arrived in the airport around almost 6 pm already. Nevertheless, I made it on time in the terminal and I could not be more happier to see my friends patiently waiting there for me. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Then it was time to go to.. .</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">After a ridiculously 10 hour long bus ride, we arrived safely in the quiet town of Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte around 6 am the next day with the bright morning sun beaming radiantly in the clear blue skies .

We then hired 2 trikes and went ahead. We discovered that the tricycle ride had standard rates depending on the number of kilometers covered by the ride. They even have package tour rates that included the Northern and Southern areas of the town. We were quite impressed as to how organized and standardized their tours were. You did not have to worry about bargaining because the costs of their tours were reasonable enough.</span></div>

But gone are the days when you compared paperpLanes with friends and attempting to ‘outfLy’ each other by making it fLy higher or Last Longer in the air. Today, paperpLanes are repLaced with those high-tech gadgets that I’ve aLways find hard to get acquainted with, and the friends? Already mapped aLL over the gLobe. So how do we bring back those good oL’ days? That exactLy is the main goaL of the exhibit. So we asked our friends from aLL over (unfortunateLy, we couLdn’t find a contact from the Arctic or Antarctica) to take us with them to their pLace by taking photos of interesting spots in their area with an object that wouLd represent us - this is where the paperpLanes come in. The diversity in the photos is just raddd, from the differentLy made paperpLanes (the Origami paperpLanes from Japan are a fave!) to the unusuaL spots where the photos were taken. It just shows that we’ve got a bunch of creative friends! And we couLdn’t thank them enough for the time that they took from their busy Lives to participate in this LittLe project of ours. This exhibit is for them and by them, it is their exhibit, we are just the fortunate ones to execute it. ;-)</span></span></div>
