why i cannot not live/work in the city

That already states "city wins!" in the topic "country vs city"

But I can't say that I live in the city because Taytay probably is not a city, but I think it's getting there, maybe in 10 years?  It's near the city.. like 30 minutes near.. and no, there are no farms, although a little bit mountain, yeah.  But I do work in the city, and I've been working in the city for years.  And I can not imagine working somewhere with no tall buildings, uber hot environment because less trees, and the traffic, I learned to live with it.. but not love it.

Exploring Ilocos is one of our best trips; there's a lot of places we visited in the beautiful Ilocandia and there's still a lot more we missed, and I do hope we could go back and continue what we started.  But for now, let me tell you what happened during those all-fun, but I remember there were also down times which is inevitable for a group of people who were just starting to get to know each other.

It's not that we almost killed each other, or if words could kill, we could all have been dead by now.  Nah, I'm just me being exaggerated.. I can't think of anything interesting to say, forgive me.

Vigan was our last stop if I remember if correctly, I can't find our itinerary though.. and our driver who was also our tour guide only gave us a few hours to stroll the city.. or was it only just an hour?  That sucked because I've waited that long to finally see how Vigan looks like in person and I wasn't able to explore it thoroughly.  If only he gave us an hour more, I could say that that trip was our best trip.. next to El Nido and Baguio.

Below are the shots I have for Vigan, including the kalesa which I mentioned on the last photo about posing in the camera.

how do you pose for the camera?

You would always make sure that you look good before facing the camera and that smile which you've already perfected and the best side of your face is always on.

But here in our trip in Ilocos Norte, I found a good amount of photos of us I could share which showed our every sides..

Starting from where the trip started:
At Sta. Ana Bridge where we waited for the sun to rise.. it was quite cold I'm glad we brought our jackets.

The title must be overreacting when you look at the picture, but the story behind it was pretty funny.. it's so amazing.

I was supposed to be taking the picture of a friend; that guy with his son together with that kid who posed cutely on my camera when this other kid ran in front of us.  I don't know why he did that, but he gave me the most interesting shots in that trip.  I think this is the first accidental shot which turned out to be really pretty that I've had.

I can not say that it's a pretty timing, but maybe it was.  Anyways, this was taken in Ilocos Norte.  I'll tell the story soon.  :>
