Quema Mansion

So, this is where we had our welcome dinner.   Our food. I learned to love this poque poque even though I don’t like eggplant before. Oh, allergies! My dad usually make this at home when he’s lazy to cook. Of course, Ilocano specialty

Tour of Vigan City

Before we get into serious business, we have a scheduled city tour in Vigan. We rented 2 jeepneys for us to ride (when I think there’s no need coz almost everything’s walking distance!). Anyway, we did a courtesy call to the Mayor of Vigan at the City Hall. He was very welcoming. After, we went…

Gordion Hotel

This is where we stayed for the whole 3 weeks! It seems like an expensive hotel but we got it cheap, really. My professor is friends with the owner and you know the drill. It was a usual old house turned hotel in Vigan where it is scary. You know, wooden everything. But, what I…

Arriving Vigan

Yup! I stayed in Vigan for 3 weeks. My summer class includes an ethnographic fieldwork where we will immerse in a location with a specific research topic on hand. By the end of it, we have to have a good amount of research, create a paper out of it and present it to the community….

Jamie’s Cakery & Kitchen

A day before I begin my 3-week trip to Vigan, my friend and I decided to check out this small & cute restaurant near our High school. The place was kind of difficult to locate if you’re driving since there’s no visible sign along the way. Also, it’s not really advisable to take a car…

Cafè France

Nuvali

After meeting up with my college buddies, I went to my sister’s place in Nuvali with some other friends to chill. We arrived late but we still had a chance to do grocery and cook for our dinner. We had another go with the spam fries because we’re hoping we could sell it (we started…

Din Tai Fung

This was really unexpected because I rarely meet with my college friends. We’re too busy to actually meet and we live far away each other so it’s really difficult. But good thing, this one finally pushed through! We met at Megamall for lunch and we decided to try out Din Tai Fung (the others haven’t…
