Unforgettable moment that I will treasure till the last day of my life. ^_^

                                       Crown Legacy Hotel 

Baguio City The first time I step on Baguio is in front of the Crown Legacy Hotel. I understand this is a new hotel property, barely a year old, but it feels so old, partly due to the very old fashioned furnitures. Its slogan claims a touch of luxury, which is far from reality. Even though it's not like the other hotels Iv'e ever been, still I enjoyed my stay there because of the people I'm with.

ABS-CBN BAGUIO

I enjoyed it cause I saw what the DJ's are doing inside the radio station. I dream to be a DJ once so for me even though I'm not a DJ already, it's still a dream come true. They taught us what are going on in live telecast and on their regional program. It's very interesting cause you gonna see they're enjoying their work. Working at the ABS-CBN is a great opportunity.

"The Mansion"

The Mansion House is the official summer residence of the President of the Philippines. The mansion is located in the summer capital of the country, Baguio, situated around 5,000 feet asl in the Cordillera Central Range of northern Luzon. 

The Mansion House was built in 1908 to serve as the official summer residence of U.S. Governor-Generals at the instance of Governor-General William Cameron Forbes. The name is derived from the summer cottage in New England of Governor Forbes whose administration the original Mansion House was built under. Architect William E. Parsons, based on preliminary plans by architect Daniel H.
