FLOWER FESTIVAL- PANAGBENGGA 2001

[PUGSLEY]

Any Pexers coming to Baguio for this event?

Opening ceremonies open on the Seventeen of this month and would last for a week.

[erman]

i might... 16-17 ang plano ko... are you from baguio?

[BabyFATS]

This is actually the second year I'm going to miss it.
Marami kasi akong work ngayon and I can't just leave, plus I have the Singles EB to go to on the 17th anyway.
But I was there for the first three. Sumali pa nga ako sa traffic operations nung 1998.

BTW, are you from Baguio, PUGSLY?
Sa Baguio kasi ako nag-high school at college eh, it's almost like 2nd home to me.

[shazlene]

babyfats, lemme guess.. high school.. girls' high, college.. SLU?

hehehe those r the only schools i know there..

[Zen]

I might go with my mom who has a convention of some sort from the 23rd to the 25th. If not, there's always this.

[PUGSLEY]

Yes, I'm from Baguio.

Session Road in Bloom (closed to traffic/stores would be out in the road) would occur on the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th

[Ianna:)]

i might but i want to be there during session road in bloom so i'll still have enough time to think about it.

[battleangel]

i grew up in baguio too. studied elementary and high school there.

yep, i'm going either this saturday (17th) with my boyfriend or friday next week with him and my friends from baguio who now live here in manila.

[Jei]

my friends and I will be there. (yes!)
we'll be leaving for Baguio on the evening of 16th and stay till Sunday..
sayang nga lang we'll miss Session Road in Bloom mukhang fun pa mandin aside from the parade..

[BabyFATS]

Meron din naman palang mga taga-Baguio dito.

shazlene: Went to high school at Saint Louis School of Campo Filipino (formerly Holy Family Academy but you probably know that). But we were the pioneer batch ('92) of the merging of our school and Girls' High. Went to college (some) at the University of Baguio. Now you probably know my age!

PUGSLY: Which part of Baguio do you live in? I've lived on Ferguson Rd, Gen. Luna Rd and in Navy Base.

Kainis talaga, gusto kong pumunta ng PANAGBENGA eh di naman ako makaalis dahil sa work. Buti na lang, may Singles EB akong mapupuntahan sa 17.

[candyrain]

damn.. i wish i could go.. i wus there same ocassion last year and i had such a blast! the mood was so festive! they closed off Session Road to traffic and the stores took out their merchandise to the sidewalks with kick-*** hip hop music playing in the DAYTIME. and what's more impressive is that despite the crowd, the place maintained its cleanliness..

too bad i'm working this week. but if i wusnt, no doubt, im there!!

[PurpLe712]

hey i'm also going to Baguio to see the flower festival with my family.
we'll be leaving tomorrow evening and will be back on monday. it will be my first time to see the event and i'm very excited!!!
btw, what's the session road in bloom? is it some kind of a tiangge or something? i don't have any idea. sayang i'll have to miss it kasi we'll leave na on the 19th. what time does the event starts on saturday?

Session Road in Bloom: The road would be closed to vehicles so people would be literally walking not in the sidewalk but on the road itself. Ala Malate, all stores around session road would be out. So eating, drinking etc, exactly in/on the road.

Street Dancing starts at 2:00 pm tomorrow.
Floats on Sunday around 9:00 am

[PUGSLEY]

To vacationists/tourists:

1. If anyone of you are going to buy flowers, please haggle. There's so much to be sold so I don't think anybody would go lugi. Haggle upto 50% at most.

2. Maintain proper decorum.

3. Be vigilant of personal belongings especially cellphones, wallets, jewelries.

4. Enjoy and meet people.

[BabyFATS]

Hey PUGSLY! Hindi mo naman sinagot yung tanong ko eh baka hindi mo nakita.

Which part of Baguio are you from?

[PurpLe712]

hey pugsly! thanks a lot! tonight's the night...
i shall go....

[PurpLe712]

another question: where can i go shopping for very low prices aside from the Session Road in Bloom? i won't make it kasi till the 22nd e. i might buy na lang stuff from somewhere else. where can i find the tiangge type of stores in Baguio? thanks!
and one more thing, are you in Baguio right now? if yes, how's the weather? thanks again!
