UGG in Baguio City







 I have been longing to wear ugg boots since I first saw them. They're very simple yet they look so stylish. i could imagine how my long legs would look sexy wearing them. Oh well, reality check: ugg boots are worn during winter and unfortunately (?) we do not have that season here in the Philippines so when the husband and i decided to go to baguio, i thought i would be my chance of wearing one.



Enough with ugg boots.




You might be pissed off why I shrugged off ugg boots when my post is entitled ugg.hahahah funny me. I entitled this post ugg since I will be talking about UGG. UGG stands for Upper Ground , unit G. UGG is our first venture on real estate and gian and I are so up and giddy about it.




Last 17 february 2012, gian and I went to baguio to check the unit and at the same time attend the PMA Alumni Homecoming. I'll be posting another article on Revisiting Baguio City some other time so watch out for that. Anyway, Gian and I were so excited because it is our first time to invest in something big, yes, 1.13M is already big for a young couple like us. 



We left cubao around 4 am of 17 and arrived at baguio City around 10 am. First stop was at Goshen land Office at kisad road. Gian settled everything from the move in fee, the utilities and all the other stuff that needs to be processed while I just sat and observed everything that is happening around the lobby. I felt like my king is prepping everything for his queen! Ang ganda ko!


Busy people at Goshen Land Office

The plan was to inspect the unit then leave so we can make gala in baguio city. Afterall, it’s in this cold city where our love story started. But as always, travel fatigue and laziness has taken its toll on us and we just found ourselves sleeping in each other’s arms in our new found crib.



Of course I felt like I have to wake up and take pictures for my not so documented life’s sake.








UGG is not that big but it is already furnished with a dining set, a refrigerator, an electric stove, a flat screen tv set, hot and cold shower and a wash area. Our objective in buying this unit is not for our own use but for business. The building is located at the back of St Louise University thus the target clientele will be the college students so UGG is accordingly designed to be used not as a residential condo. Hay, ansarap na pla maging college student nowadays. Buti pa sila!


the husband. so tall. so mighty.
the wife. so wife.hahahaha


 Oh wait! UGG stands for another thing though:




UBER GWAPONG GIAN! 
my Uber Gwapong Gian!






Love love love!

Commuter's Notebook: Cabanatuan Edition

after everything that's been said and done, i finally found my way to joining the Engineer Officer's Course (EOBC). the reporting date was last tuesday, 30 Aug 2011 and the course will be handled by the CSS, TRADOC located at Camp Tinio, Cabanatuan City.


will be scouring this place for the next three months



cabanatuan city is a 3 hour drive from manila but what believed to be just a short drive became a long, tiring and challenging five-hour adventure because of:

1. im supposed to be picked up at eight o'clock but our ride arrived at nine o'clock
2. there were only five of us but our luggage was enough for ten people. maybe this is just normal for a three-month long course.
3. we were apprehended by a police enforcer for violating a certain regulation which i do not have any idea about. i don't want to further elaborate because it's very humiliating and embarassing.hahahahah
4. the barracks where we were supposed to be billeted are still occupied so we didn't have a place where we can leave our stuff.
5. our sundo back to manila will be back after 2 hours pa so we're stuck in an unfamiliar place.


after registering, we had a three-hour lull time. dull moments. the problem is we do not the place and we were all tired up from waking up early to waiting for so loooooooooooooooooooong and of course the energy draining travel from manila to cabanatuan.

after our very late lunch (four thirty in the afternoon) we decided to just check in in the nearest hotel that we can find. so funny that we were apprehended in front of the one and only hotel that we saw in cabanatuan. that hotel is no less than:

hahahahaha
despite its reputation, the hotel was really true to it's claim that it is "so clean...so good" and that it has good air conditioning and strong wifi connection. lei and I shared in one of it's rooms so that we could freshen up while waiting for our sundo. i was able to take a nap and lei enjoyed the wifi connection with her new ipaaad1. good for you bonkie.:)

here are our photos:
ang sarap ng smile ni ate
 this shot was taken in a carinderia just outside camp tinio. we had our super late lunch there



our ride was a trisikel and we were dropped off at the hotel's parking

my shoes are so kyuuuuuuuuuuuuuutt

dapat daw nakaganito na ang kamay mo sa mukha pagkalabas mo ng hotel. in our case, papasok pa lang, nakaganito na.


one last thing , the only good thing about our commute was that after registering for the course, we were told  that we can go back home  and "kanya kanya muna  kme" until  sep 7, 2011. yahoooo! that's one whole week of relaxation and .... boodling.hahhahahah life, oooooooooooohhhh life!
