Sagada Experience 7: Narrate Debate
I’ve decided to take a video of the spell-binding view of Sagada’s foggy journey. It was almost zero visibility and we are amazed by the driver’s knowledge of the road (Alam n’ya lahat ng liko kahit walang makita!)
.
After a few seconds, Boo started narrating. Watch it here and listen carefully. Magtalo ba sa narration?

Pasalubong from Sagada
Karen, one of the Branch Tellers of BDO SM Dasmarinas asked, “Sir Orlee, kamusta ang Sagada?”
“Sagad! Ganda!” I answered.
“Wala ba man lang akong pasalubong d’yan?”
“Wala eh. Mahal ng bilihin,” I answered, “Ang importante naman eh safe akong nakabalik, ‘di ba?”
Without any hesitations, she answered, “Hindi. Kahit wala ka na basta may pasalubong lang.”

Sagada Experience 6: End of the World | Armageddon 2
Before planning to go under the caves of Sagada, I told the guys about the End of the World Argument of my parents.
Arlyn said, “Orlee, makikita na natin yung end of the world ng nanay at tatay mo. Ilalim ng lupa apos puno ng tubig.”

Sagada Experience 5: Muddy
Being hypnotized by the breathtaking view of Sagada, I kept taking the pictures of the scenery. I just loved it.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Also, as I’ve mentioned before, the guys kept posing infront of me so I have to take their pictures too.

And because of those reasons…

… Disaster Stroke!

Sleep Talkin’
I know that I’m a sleep talker. I talk when I sleep and a few of my famous lines were:
.
“Ala eh! Batangas!” - This was back in my DLSU-D Chorale days. I screamed this in the mid-year workshop of the group in San Juan, Batangas. Everybody woked up when I screamed, except of course me, and talked (and laughed) about it the next day.
.
“Aaaaaaaah!” – Heard during the US tour of Marian Choir. I woke up late and everybody checked who was screaming. It was me. Back to sleep.
.
“Como una promesa eres tu. Eres tu.” – My sister heard me speaking Spanish during one afternoon’s nap. I later explained to her that I was saying the words of a choral song.
.
“Hindi ah! Hindeh!” – Sagada Day 1 night. Boo heard that I was being sarcastic.
.
“Whoa! At least! Di ba?” - Arlyn and Jeff heard this on Sagada Day 2. I was somehow explaining my side of an argument but this was all they can recall. Arlyn answered, ‘Huy! At least – at least ka d’yan!’

Sagada Experience 4: Photomania
Having to hold the digital camera, Rommel would always stop in front of me, behind a beautiful background and smile saying, “Orlee?”
I would laugh while taking his picture, “Adik ka Romey

Sagada Experience 3: Turon vs Lumpia
Since he didn’t tag Arnie along, Rommel decided not to sleep with the 2 pairs in Sagada. He slept on the floor. He wrapped himself with the thick blanket as not to freeze his ass off.
Arlyn commented the next morning, “Si Rommel! Mukhang lumpia!”
I immediately corrected her, “Hindi! Maitim s’ya kaya turon s’ya. Maputi kaya ang lumpia! Tu-Rom!”

Sagada Experience 2: Jogging
Jeff, Arlyn’s boyfriend, decided to Jog on Sagada Day 2 Morning. He set his alarm clock at 5 AM so that he can enjoy the fresh Sagada morning breeze. Here’s the picture of his morning jog:

Yes, that’s not a jogging picture. He went back to sleep because 5 am is apparently too dark in Sagada. So on Day 3, he was really determined. He’ll jog! Whatever it takes, Jeffrey Guevarra will jog in Sagada. So his alarm clock went off at 5am the next day and he jogged. Here’s the picture.

Jogging is really fun in Sagada.

Sagada Experience 1: Walking Your Feet Off
Sagada Day 2 was all waterfalls searching. There are two waterfalls in Sagada, Bokong, the small falls and Bomod-Ok, the big falls.
The view was spectacular, the water was fresh and cold but the destination was really far. The distance of the small falls from where we stayed,St. Joseph
’s Resthouse, was an hour walk while the difference between the big falls and the small falls is a three hour trek.
I happily brought two sets of slippers with me, one was for walking and the other was my brown Havaianas (pang-porma).
Boo and Rommel also brought with them their Havaianas but they brought it exactly for walking with no alternatives.
We walked to the falls because we were “ON A BUDGET” tour. Halfway to the Bokong falls, Rommel said, “Ay! Di ko pala Havaianas ‘to!”
It was mine: Wala akong nagawa. Ayun napudpod!

Sagada Experience: An Introduction
I just came from a 4-day trip to Sagada, Mountain Province. It was an unforgettable experience.
.
.
.
.
.
Sagada – Sagad! Ah!
- Sagad ang hirap (No means of transpo around the area)
- Sagad ang layo (Baguio City is just halfway)
- Sagad sa gastos (Around Php 5k per head)
- Sagad ang ganda!
.
Even though it was kinda expensive (though we were on a SAGADA ON A BUDGET trip) and really tiresome, it was all worth it.
Next time someone asked me, “Have you been to Sagada?”
I could proudly say, “Saga-Duh?”
