Time flies, it’s already 2016. I hope this brand new year will bring luck to everyone. As for myself I hope my 2016 will be a blast and do the things I didn’t accomplish last year. I hope to travel even in the nearby places. Actually, I only travel during summer vacation and common destination was Ilocos and Baguio City. This time, I want to go to other places that are not in the northern area. Well, during vacation my daughter and I only join the rest of the family and they decide where to go. So we will see in the coming months.

Anyway, I was watching news earlier and saw Baguio City. This morning the temperature there was 13 degrees. I really wanted to experience that cold weather. I think I visited Baguio City for 5x times but never experienced cold weather because we always visit Baguio in the summer season. And most of the time the temperature was 23 degrees something like that. Speaking of Baguio, they are known for the month-long Panagbenga Festival happening during month of February. Same with the cold weather, I also wanted to witness this festival but since it happens during February, it is impossible to witness this celebration with my own eyes.

For those who are interested to witness Panagbenga 2016, here are the schedules of this event.
