Bencab is one of my favorite places in Baguio. Every time I tour friends and family in Baguio, I always make sure to stop by Bencab Museum. They all love it! My cousin actually took a 360 photo of the place – stunning view!

While I’ve been here 3 or 4 times, I was always on a rush! I was either keeping a schedule or we just don’t have enough time to explore. I’m not really an artsy person but I do appreciate all the art that’s found here. What I’m after is the ambience and the contrast of a modern artistic world vs. nature. Take a look outside the building and you will find a beautiful garden, fenced by a group of hills. This is the view I’m after. And if I were to go back, I’d love to just sit by the garden, drink coffee and eat some pastries while reading a book.

Check out my 360 photos of the garden of BenCab Museum:

My last trip to Baguio was for Vaseline Road Trip.  Check out my blog then, we did so much in one day!

Anyway, here’s our float for TV5! 

I loooooove our float! It has 10 flower variations and 2,000 bundles of flowers! Simple but more! Anyway, we started to prepare as early as 5am, unlike the Masskara Festival that starts in the after and culminates in the Plaza in the evening.  The flower parade started at 8am. 

More updates on TV5’s Official Facebook page and Twitter!

Ohai from Baguio City! I packed for a 20 degree weather. But it plunged down to 14 degrees! I am so not prepared for the cold.

This is a working trip and I’ll be covering Panagbena, Baguio’s flower festival, for my network 🙂 I’m so excited, but it means there will

be a lot of walking around the hilly parts of Baguio so I brought my Tretorn Nylites. Comfortable closed shoes.

I LOOOOOVE FLOWERS

It just sank in… it’s our last day… I’m going to miss the girls and all who went with us.

Here are the memories captured of our last day in Baguio.

The day started with us girls walking along pine trees 🙂

From shorts, skirts and sleeveless tops we wore scarves and bonnets.

Here’s a quick tip for travelers:

When you travel to different places with different temperature, you need to consider bringing stuff you can use for both.  If not, just use lighter alternatives like bringing scarves instead of a bulky heavy jacket,  leggings instead of maong jeans and a cute cashmere hat or bonnet for style 😛

I pack light and bringing unnecessary stuff is a no-no to me.  I love traveling alone as well so that means I carry my own stuff… I need to be able to carry all of my luggage myself 🙂

We had breakfast at our hotel in Baguio – Bloomfields hotel.

We were a bit woozy from going out the other night to Nevada square.  We had fun bonding with everyone!

Our morning started in Camp John Hay were we had our last shoot for the trip.  Good location 🙂  We felt calm around Pine Trees.

Interesting Trivia:

Ada said that Baguio has the lowest suicidal rate in the Philippines.

It’s because of the Pine Trees around… It gives a calming effect to people and its surroundings.

True enough, all of us just felt relaxed.

Lol… a shade of pink for each of us 😛

Behind the scenes of our TV clips…

let me know if you see one of our clips on TV 🙂 soon!

After talking to the camera and wrapping up our entire trip with Vaseline, they took us to some special relax time.

This picture was taken in North Haven Spa.

This place is famous for its strawberry body scrub/massage.

See all rose petals? 🙂

Nikki and me… getting giddy and excited… finally, a chance to pause and relax 🙂

They served ginger ale tea when we arrived

Ahhh… so nice… look at how relaxed I am… Jeleesss??? 😛

Quick tip – Alternative for an Oily Massage:

If you don’t the oily feeling when you are having your massage, you can request for your masseuse to use cream or lotion.

I used to take a break for work and go to massage parlors.  I don’t like oil because I knew I need to go somewhere else… So a cream or lotion would be a perfect solution.

Plus, it moisturizes your skin!

aaaaaahhhh… jeless?
