I’ve Missed You Baguio
It was a planned visit to the highlands with John and Rush, but then these two backed out for financial reasons [daw].
I promised myself I wouldn’t pass a year without going up to Baguio. Since I left for Manila in August 2009, I never had the chance (because I never had the money) to visit my second home.
It was July and I really wanna go up there. I want to see my Baguio. I want to feel the humidity. I want to smell the pine breeze. I want to walk up and down Session Road. I want to go boating at Burnham Lake. I want to go bargaining at the night market. I want to see my friends up there and chat and eat and have coffee and get drunk. I wanna do all the fun things I used to do when I was still living in Baguio.
Last week, Mara invited us, people based in Manila, for a drinking session in her place the same Saturday I planned to go up, giving me one more reason to go on with my plan. But then I still wasn’t so sure since I will be going there alone.
Come Saturday, I got up of bed at around 9 a.m. Ate breakfast. Took a bath. Placed some stuff in a huge shoulder bag.
It was like something’s holding me back, not to go on with the trip, (perhaps it’s just plain laziness) but thinking about the fun I would miss made me finally decide to go.
Brehans Go Treeplanting in Busol
To the forest!
In UP Baguio, frat wars and rumbles will not bring you popularity and prestige. In order for an organization to be recognized by the university, it must hold services for the school or community.
UP Breha, the organization of lady dormers in UP Baguio isn’t exempted with this rule. It holds several activities every school year in order for it to be included in the university’s recognized organizations.
Treeplanting in Busol is one of Breha’s activities held every year. Busol Watershed is one of Baguio City‘s major water sources that is why individual and collective effort to conserve the forested area is encouraged.
Breha’s annual treeplanting activity is like the organization’s little way of helping solve Baguio City’s environmental problems. The activity is usually held during the month of September, just after the rainy season.
