Boredom striked me one weekend so I decided to tour my friend Mimie around Eastwood city and to have some coffee as well. This post will be more on pictures so be warned :D

Since I have relatives in Baguio city, I guess I am able to visit most of the tourist spots in the area. Every time I go back there for a visit, I look for other places mostly cafes to try out for a change. That time we visited during the month of August last year, my aunt suggested that we try out Arca's yard cafe in Ambuklao road which they described as a cafe with a really good view.

Upon arrival at the cafe, first thing you will notice are the ethnic paintings on their walls. The main theme of the cafe focuses on the cordillera arts and sculptures which I really admire for it shows that the owners are really proud of their origin.

So I ordered this carrot cake which I did not really enjoy and something new in my ears, the cloud tea which I actually enjoyed. Honestly, we did not enjoy their pastries and the only thing we appreciated were their fries with cheese dip.

But I think my cousin Khalil did enjoy his strawberry milkshake, being able to smile like this.

and then I tried my portrait photography skills on Ate Kathleen :)

We just decided to around the cafe and take pictures. Unfortunately it was really foggy that time so we were not able to really see the view that they were proud about.

Day 2

Before going back to Manila, Ate kathleen and I visited Ililikha artist village for lunch. We tried this one store selling burgers. Surprisingly, their burgers tasted so good considering their affordable price. This one became my favorite eat out place in Baguio City.

I totally love the artistic vibe of the place. Their floor mosaics are so lovely and colorful. Those who want to try brrgrr, just visit Ililikha Artist village located in assumption road. It's within a school zone I think since I noticed that it is mostly frequented by students and just a short walk from session road.

Last year during the month of August, I was invited by my former officemates in Comelec to join their team building in Bataan. They told me that they were going to Anvaya cove and knowing that it is a "member only" luxury resort, I decided to join them.

When we arrived at the resort, we immediately proceeded to their restaurant for a buffet lunch. Having a view of the resort, I can say that this one is really high class but as for the food, I'm not really a fan. We also have a very cute company that trip, Sir Peng brought her daughter Penny and we fell in love with her cuteness.

After lunch, we checked in on our rooms and decided to take pictures again before deciding on which activity we will be doing that afternoon. Since the resort is really vast, so there are trolleys that you can ride to go to your rooms.

Then we all decided to go for snorkeling that afternoon we changed into our swim clothes and headed to the dock area where we will be riding the resort's speedboat. Well the speedboat ride itself was already exciting since the boatman made it that way. The first time he really tilted the speedboat on one side, we were so surprised that we all screamed then it became enjoyable afterwards. Maybe because we just got used to it.

Next we went swimming while some opted to play beach volleyball. We waited until sunset before changing our clothes for dinner.

We had an early night so that we can wake up early the next day. Some opted to go for a banana boat ride while some of us just decided to relax and take more pictures around the resort.

Though the beach area is not that outstanding, Anvaya cove made the interior and exterior of their resort compensate on that matter. They made their facilities and pool area their strongest points. Still it was a really fun two day trip. What made it really enjoyable were the fun people I was with.
