Sharing with you snippets of our spur-of-moment road trip to Baguio last February (before the Panagbenga season), where everything was done last minute: last minute hotel booking, last minute decision to bring our car (instead of taking the bus) and last minute packing hehe!

Back from the Blogging Hiatus
Hello, everyone! I’m back from the blogging hiatus to say I’m still here and that I missed you all (naks!).
