Part 2 - Baguio entries
written Sept. 24, 2003 4:35pm
Tuesday morning was absolutely refreshing. I woke up early because I wanted to enjoy the whole place and not waste it. We stayed in AIM in baguio – basically a hotel with a case room. You walk out the lobby and you’re greeted by the field of pine trees and to the distant right is the whole golf course of John Hay. I walked to Starbucks which is right next door to grab a cuppa and chat with some other classmates getting their breakfast while reading the cases for the day. The air is just so clean and refreshing, it gets you really energized. Somehow, airconditioning makes me sleepy, but here I want to walk around some more or just sit back and take it all in.
At night we stayed in Vince’s house which is a few minutes away. We did the groceries during the afternoon so that Joy, Willyn and I could cook the boys a yummy dinner. The guys took charge of the barbecue chicken outside while us chicks made the spicy tuna rice, buttered corn, sautéed mushrooms and adobo flakes inside the kitchen. Aris also helped cook and the other guys helped with the other different tasks. Anton was in charge of making our drinks (alcoholic or otherwise) while we slaved over the stove and chopping board. Alex took charge of shooing the cat away from the two adjoining kitchens…etc. etc. Funny though, as soon as dinner was over, our teachers would have been pleased to see that everyone picked up a case to read. They were for the next day’s classes. Why? I guess our diligence is also already ingrained. Aside from that, Vince, Sagar and Anton spent the next couple of hours trying to build a fire in the fireplace. Relentless and dedicated to building the best addition to our baguio experience it finally started burning. We dropped the cases (including one set inside the fireplace), set the mood music, turned off the lights and toasted marshmallows and hotdogs…and added more alcohol to what had already been circulating...among other things ;)
And today…we finished our last classes and some are planning to go home to their families already. Dean Morato and Prof. Manikan arranged for a caterer to provide us with a good dinner later and I guess that’s where we will all get a chance to talk and relax (without anything to read for the next day). The whole batch will be leaving tomorrow around noon but I’m extending with the boys till Friday so I can hopefully get all the pasalubong shopping done and with one more additional day I will maybe, just maybe… forget the boy I miss in manila.
