Sagada Saga Part III: I Love You, Goodbye Sagada!

View at the Highest Point
"To travel is to live." - Hans Christian Andersen

Day 3 (March 29,2015)

At 7am we say goodbye to Sagada but our journey didn't stop there because we still had our side trip to Baguio! We first had our brunch at Mia's Muffin House in Bauko, Mountain Province. Their carrot cake is a must-try, so grab some when you're there!

Next, we headed to the Highest Point located at Cattubo, Atok, Benguet.  The place is about 7,400 feet above sea level. 

With my crazy friends!

After enjoying the view at the highest point and after having so many photo ops, we tried strawberry picking and hoard vegetables in La Trinidad, Benguet.

Our tour ended at the location of the teleserye Forevermore. One of the reasons why I'm super excited about our Sagada trip is because of our side trip to La Presa. Yeah, I won't deny that I'm a fan of Forevermore... Super fan to be exact (haha!) 

It's foggy on our way to La Presa

If you think La Presa is easy access, think again. You need to walk about 3-5 minutes from the main road to reach the location. 

There's a lot of souvenir shops on the way to La Presa

Prepare your legs for a long walk

Finally! Before entering the place you need to pay Php10, they say it's for the caretaker of the house. I was hoping to see Xander and Agnes but there were no shooting that day, nonetheless, I'm still happy being in the location.

This is where Xander slept when
they (La Presa people) first met him

Bonita Rose!

Yeah... That's La Presa.
It wasn't big as I picture it every time I watch Forevermore.


If going down to La Presa is a struggle,
what more if you go back to the main road?

My Sagada trip is absolutely fulfilling despite the fact that it was fully tiring. I'm very thankful that I'm able to explore an awesome place with an equally awesome people. I'm very much grateful for Pilipinas Roadtrip for the memorable and hassle free trip and not to forget, of course, the competitive driver suitable for the competitive guests (haha!), Kuya Kuneho!

Team Kuneho for the win!

Learning 한국어 (Hangugeo/Korean Language)

"Learning another language is not only learning different words for the same things,but learning another way to think about things." - Flora Lewis I'm into Korean dramas since I was in high school, Korean movies and food after I graduated from college, and this year I've been quite addicted to Korean variety shows and songs which lead me to be more interested in learning their language. My brother and I decided to enroll in Korean Cultural Center 's 3rd term (for this year) for Korean language class, but unfortunately the schedule that we wanted was already full. So, out of my desperation in wanting to learn the language, I decided to study it on my own. One thing I like about internet is that when you need to know something it's just a click away. So, I used this awesome benefit of the internet for my self-study of Hangugeo. And, here, I list the websites that I'm relying on: 1. Pinterest This is where I first learn how to write Korean lette

Pasinaya 2016 and Free Heritage Tour: Appreciating Philippine Art and History

Image
I, together with Mavic and Tetet, planned on joining the free heritage tour around Manila hosted by Royal Posted Heritage Guided Tour . The said tour set its meeting place in the Manila Post Office's lobby between 12:30-1 pm... Since we had a lot of time after attending the 8 am Mass at The Feast, we killed our time appreciating Philippine art at CCP for the 2016 Pasinaya Open House Festival. Anything that is related to Philippine art, whether it be a painting, drawing, song, dance, play you can see it at the festival. Since we were only killing time, we weren't able to see a lot, we spend more time on viewing paintings, drawings, and crafts. Various paintings displayed at the second floor of CCP Show your creative side with slippers Art using bleach. This one is my favorite among the all the artworks displayed at CCP.  Tetet writing on the freedom art piece Traditional costumes are also displayed You can even try making your own masterpiece.

Hotteok (호떡/Sweet Korean Pancake) for my Sweet Tooth

Image
  너무   맛있어요...  진짜  맛있어요... It's very delicious... Really delicious... My love for sweet food and Korean food has led me to an idea of trying to make a very popular Korean street food called Hotteok.  It is like the Korean version of our Piaya. Hotteok  seems hard to make but it isn't. But let me warn you, patience is needed to make this sweet snack. INGREDIENTS: Dough: 1/2 c. warm water 1/2 Tbsp. yeast 1/2 Tbsp. sugar 3 c. flour 1 c. milk 1/2 Tbsp. salt Filling: 1/4 c. brown sugar 1/4 c. white sugar 1/2 tsp. cinnamon powder 2 1/2 Tbsp. peanuts,chopped PROCEDURE: 1. Make the yeast mixture. Mix warm water, yeast, and  sugar. Set aside for approximately 5 minutes to allow yeast to grow. Make sure the water is warm and not hot. If it's hot, the yeast will not grow. 2. While waiting for the yeast to grow, sift the flour and salt. 3. Add milk and the yeast mixture to the flour. Mix until well blended. 4. Cover the dough with a plastic or lid
