Today is my Second Day here in Baguio with Yassi. It's a great day to start and discover new things. Yassi is really happy to be with, she always cheer me up and make a way just to make me smile, and I'm thankful for that.
I'm inside my room preparing my things because as Yassi told me last night that her friend will come here and join us during our travel to La Trinidad Strawberry Farm and the another place that we visit and explore. As we enter the Baguio city. Baguio is undeniably enthralling.
AIt has fascinating natural beauty spots, surprising traditions, thrilling adventures, and people who deserve to be known all over the world. All the extraordinary sights could be captured in Baguio in the blink of an eye. As you rise higher from the ground, the number of various people and places of interest increases. All of those things are "high," but there is one thing that is markedly low—probably in a good way—and that is the temperature. There are many “cold” mountainous areas in the Philippines, but Baguio in the Cordillera remains a standout.
I heard a knock on the door of the guestroom where I'm staying in Yassi's House. I walked towards the door and unlock it as I swang it open. I saw Yassi's Mother smiled at me and handed me a tray of snack.
"Here, eat this, I know you are tired from your trip. After you eat. Take a rest, Yassi is still in the mall to buy some groceries with her dad.
"Thank you, Mrs. Lizelle." I replied and accept the tray on my hand and put it in the study table beside the room balcony.
When I looked back on Mrs. Lizelle, she closed the door of my room and give me privacy.
I walked towards the bed and put the luggage above it. I unzip it and put my laptop in the study table with my notebook and sticky note and pen. It's already past 5 in the evening and I already told Mrs. Lizelle that I won't eat dinner because I'll sleep early. Also, Yassi is busy helping his cousin on doing their modules in the Sala of the house.
I'm already in my pajamas ready to sleep when my phone suddenly ring and my laptop turned on automatically when I receive a Skype call from my mother. I was confused who I'm going to pick a call, is that Ash Ron or my mom. I off my phone and enter the answer bottom I saw my mother and father on my laptop screen.
"Mom, dad." I said as I smiled when I saw them both being together.
"How are you, El? Did you eat dinner already? " Mom asked me.
"Nope, I'm going to sleep now because I'm too tired having jet lag." I replied, and get the tray of snacks in the study table and put it in my nap as I eat it while having a conversation with my parents via Skype.
"What are you eating? " Dad asked me curiously.
"Snacks dad. Mrs Lizelle. Give me this a while ago." I answered.
"Are you going to sleep now. We just called to check you out." My mother said, and I saw her face soften.
"Don't forget to update us, El. Keep safe in there , we miss you already, baby girl. " My dad uttered as he hug my mother when my mom started to get emotional.
"Mom, stop! Don't start it. I'll be home soon. " I said, and my mom nodded to agree.
"Goodnight El." My dad said this time.
"Goodnight mom, dad. " I declared, as I yawn because of sleepless I fell.
I waved my hands and end up the video call. And took a deep breath, tomorrow is another day I'll sleep now because I'm too tired as an arrived here in the Philippines. It's so hot in here, I think I need to get used to it since I'm already in there.
Before I sleep, I decided to write an email to Venice, so I can get updated of what's happening in the company without me.
To : Itsmejustvenice@gmail.com

From : Itsmejustvenice@gmail.com
A business man from the Philippines sent a letter for you. Based on how he addresses it's a business proposal. I got this, Mr. Acosta is with me to help me out, Ms. El

Great, don't open it I'll open and read the letter once I'll come back from vacation here in the Philippines.
From : Itsmejustvenice@gmail.com
Okay Ms El, enjoy your vacation. Goodnight!
To : Itsmejustvenice@gmail.com
Goodnight Venice, see you soon.
I replied and close my laptop as I turn the lamp shade on and lay in bed. Tomorrow is another place to explore, I'm so excited. My head is still hurt because of getting drunk last night. I wonder how Ralph is doing.

Next Day ***
" Morning El. " Yassi greet me as I went out of my room and saw her putting some dishes in the table. While I saw Shanny is busy doing some papers, maybe she needed to do her work even if she also took a leave to have a short vacation.
"Morning Yassi, GoodMorning Shanny." I said, and walk downstairs.
" Where is our next destination? " i asked Yassi as I entered the bathroom room to wash my face.
" Baguio Botanical Garden. " Yassi replied.
"Great! Shan are you coming with us today? " I shouted from the bathroom enough to be heard by Shanny who is in the living room of the hotel room of Yassi.
" I would love to. But I can't El, my boss just handed me many papers to do! " She took a sight of the papers above the table.
" Okay. So, you will be alone here? " I asked her.
" No one of my co-worker will come here and help me with this. " She answered as she is gnashing her teeth.
" It's fine, make sure you finish it today. So, you will come with us tomorrow to Mines View Park. " Yassi said as pack some lunch for us and drinks and put it inside the plastic bag.
" I'm going to change my clothes first. " Yassi added and left the kitchen.
I walked towards Shanny where she is sitting and sat down beside her. I gaze at the paper she is working with. I read some infinity what is the paper all about but somewhat the company name catch my attention.
Trevino Group of Company And followed by this month balance sheet and many more, The surname is somewhat familiar here did I heard it.
I was shocked when Yassi suddenly appear out of nowhere with her smile on her face.
She is wearing a white inner and top with a black blazer. A light-brown skirt, a pair of flat black shoes and a bag on his back.
"Are you ready, El?" Yassi stated.
" Yep, ready to go!" I said, and hold my shoulder bag.
" Shanny. " I called shanny's attention.
She looked up at me and wait for my statement.
" Please cook dinner later on. " I added.
" Yep! And also don't forget to make an orange juice! " Yassi uttered.
" Noted! " Shanny said and raised her thumbs up in response.
Yassi and I walked out of the hotel room and rent a car. Yassi already told me that she know every destination here in Baguio since this is her father's town. While her mother is from manila, La Union. I looker at my phone screen and saw a message from, Ralph, Venice , and Ash Ron. Wow! really? What's matter like something is off too.
When we enter the car. I looked towards Yassi and when she saw me looking at her. Her face became frown and she spoke.
" What's wrong? " She asked.
"Nothing. By the way, let's drop off in the mall before we get home. I'll buy new clothes and me souvenirs from my parents and close friends.
" Ok. " She responds and starts the engine if the car.
I wanted to sleep during the trip, so I won't get bored. I put my neck pillow as I closed my eyes. I whispered enough for her to hear.
" Wake up me up when we get there. " I uttered.
After a couple of an hour, we finally arrived. As I went out of the car, the blaze of the cold wind embrace me. My jaw drops because of the scenery. The tall overlooking trees while the group filled with different colors and kinds of flowers you can see. For me, it's feels like I'm in Japan which literally I'm in the Philippines only. Wow, this place is fantastic and majestic, this place is good for relaxing even if just watching the colorful flowers swinging like dancing with the wind the flowers arranged by its colors.
In the side corner, I saw a Golden Gate Bridge inspired that is originally located in San Francisco, California. This place is a paradise, I can even imagine myself spending my spare time in here is a stress reliever. It takes my stress and problems away. How I wish Baguio is just a mile away, I will surely make this my favorite spot and my sanctuary place.
Some tourists are everywhere, some are busying talking, some are taking pictures of the place while Yassi is busy taking her selfies too.
" El! " Yassi called my name.
I walked towards her direction. She extended her mono pad and take a selfie. I smile and looked at the camera. It's more than 10 pictures we take because Yassi always want to take another one from time to time.
"I'm twisty. " I said.
Yassi open the plastic bag and handed me the bottle of water. I thank her and open the water and drink it. I'm not used to the hot. Since Australia experience different weather.
I wipe my sweat using my handkerchief.
"Are you okay, El." Yassi asked with her worried face.
"I'm fine. I'm not just used too hot since Australia have different weather from time to time. " I uttered.
" Let's go, so it won't hurt your skin too much. Looked at you! Your skin is turning red already because of the sunlight. " She freaked out and drug me where the car is being parked.
"I said it's fine. I'll stay here at the car, I'll wait for you to come back. " I insisted.
" No, I won't leave you here. " Let's go home already! " She panicked.
" No, I'm fine, don't worry. Let's go to the mall first. " I said.
Yassi didn't respond, but she drove the car to our next destination which is mall to go shopping.

Hotel Room in Baguio **
When we open the door,, I heard a laughing from the living room of the hotel room.
" Hey, I told you to do so. That's why I asked you to come over. You damn the ass! " Shanny yelled from inside.
" Okay! Calm down, but before that, I'll cook dinner first. " A heard a deep voice of a man who is with Shanny.
When we reach in the living room, I saw the papers spreading in the living room floor, and it divided into two. Shanny is sitting like an Indian sit while focusing on reading and separating it. She didn't notice our presence, but the man she is with saw us.
"Your friends at here. " He announced.
Shanny raised her hand and said.
" Thank God, you here already! " She said.
"How's your day? " She added.
" It's great. But El slightly burn her skin because of the sunlight . " Yassi declared.
I exhale and inhale and uttered those,
" I'm fine Shanny don't worry, its just Yassi is overthinking about my skin when it just didn't use to it and my body is having hard time to adjust to the Philippines weather. " I stated.
I saw Shanny looked at the man and pull him close to her and said.
" This is my co-worker, he is also a secretary like me, but he is always with the Vice president in the company we are working with. " Shanny said.
The man smiled and said,
" I'm Jesth Manasala it's a pleasure to meet you El. " He offered his hand to have shake hands with me.
I accept it and said.
" I'm Elizabeth Del Acosta, El for short. It's my pressure to meet you, too. " I speak.
I feel that my phone suddenly vibrate , a signed that there's an email that I received. I excuse my self and go to my room to open my laptop and check it out.
