The first and last time I was in the City of Pines was when I was still in 4th year high school. I didn't enjoy it very well, though. I never got to visit interesting places that were always mentioned in textbooks like Burnham Park and Mines' View.

So during the whole time I attended the National Rizal Youth Leadership, Inc. (NRYLI), I was an escapee -- meaning, I escaped from the lectures and activities that I was supposed to attend and went somewhere else. Haha!

So far, SM City and Burnham Park are the places I've been to, but I'm glad of the respite. It's Level IV Accreditation in the College of Education now and I'm sure everyone's busy and tired from all the work. I'm not sure if I'd feel guilty or happy because I'm enjoying in Baguio while my colleagues are working their asses off in Iloilo. When I get back, it'll be Christmas Party already.

Lord, please don't let me spend too much! And please, please, please make Zeliet win in the Extemporaneous Speaking Contest and Alexa in the Essay Writing Contest.

I'll be bringing home the usual pasalubongs from Baguio.
