Posted in Places to Stay, Sagada in the Rain, St. Joseph Inn, Thoughts of Sagada on Mar 22nd, 2009
I stayed once at St. Joseph back in 2007 and I enjoyed it there completely. As it’s located on a hill, when you step outside of the inn, you will get a nice view of the town of Sagada including the mountains surrounding it.
Although you can’t tell by the picture, when I stayed there [...]

In all my trips to Sagada, I have yet to visit Lake Danum. They say it is best to go there during sunset and watch the glimmering water and the fading sun beyond the mountains.
Now that would be a lovely sight indeed.
I don’t know but every time I go to Sagada, Lake Danum was just [...]

Yesterday it was reported that Baguio has reached 7 degrees Celsius and that frost have started to form on the crops. The same thing has been happening in other parts of Benguet and nearby Mountain Province particularly in Sagada.
It is generally considered that Sagada is always colder than Baguio so I can just imagine how [...]

There are many Koreans in Baguio City and most of them are there to study English. Now I’m not sure why they chose to be there instead of here in Manila. I guess it’s cheaper and the climate’s probably closer to their own back home.
Some of them would visit Sagada, Bontoc or Banaue.
On my [...]

Two years ago, I went to Sagada with some of my college friends. It was a very fun and memorable trip.
How happy were we? I guess you can tell with our smiles.
It’s me with Andrea and Biela and it was taken beside the St. Mary’s Church.

My girlfriend will be going to Baguio this Wednesday and stay there for a few days. She’s going to train some newly-hired employees. I would have loved to go with her but I can’t take leave from my job.
Aarrgh! Just the thought that Sagada is just six hours away from Baguio makes my feet [...]

It has been raining for the past couple of days. I’m not sure if there’s a storm approaching, but it sure feels like it. I’ve just closed the windows because the strong winds are bringing in some rain water inside the house.
Whenever it rains, I always wonder if it’s also raining at that moment in [...]

When I mentioned to her that it’s a 12-hour trip from Manila to Sagada, she said “No problem”.
But when I told her about 3 hours of that trip would be over rough road, she said “Oh…”
With just the thought of the rough road, my mom changed her mind of going to Sagada. And I can’t [...]

This photo was taken on my first trip to Sagada. They are the three loveliest ladies that ever set foot there.
They’re Amie, Adeth and Elena.
I seldom see them now and I deeply miss them.

Yes and no.
Sagada is indeed a great retreat for those seeking tranquility and an escape from the urban life. You can relax under the tall pine trees, beside the bushes filled with flowers, on the fresh and damp grass or on top of one of the rice terraces and wonder at the beauty of the [...]
