What’s UP, Los Baños?

- I think of Prof Zafaralla giving us the lectures for each places we visited, Paoay church and the Luna house
- I think of the statue of the angel (or saint?) at the Vigan church with strong features and eyes that seem to look straight at me in every angle
- I think of sitting beside my crush, attempting to talk to him, part of the way going to Ilocos Norte
- I think of Paoay lake and the sand dunes of Paoay. Iniisip ko kung singkit nga ba ang mata ng mga pating sa South China Sea (ala Brosia of Pugad Baboy)
- I thing of my blockmates taking plenty of pictures (I was slimmer then *sigh*).
- I think of that “paksiw na piranha” at the NTC dorm, I know I’m not the only one who did not eat breakfast that day
- I think of being almost more excited going to Baguio than to Ilocos, the strawberries and vegetables from the Baguio market, of planning to go to the Pink Sisters and strolling at Burnham Park
- I think of eating at Jollibee in Baguio City (wala pa kasing Jollibee sa Los Banos!). It was raining then, our shoes muddy and we all entered McDonalds first. We looked at the choices, then at each other and decided to find Jollibee. We left at our muddy tracks at McDonalds.
- I think of public market in Laoag with its wet goods on the second floor, the bell tower with its very dark stairways and savoring longganisa Laoag
- I think of bonding with my Hum 1 classmates- some became lifelong friends

PS - What’s memorable with your Ilocos trip?
