If you happen to be at the strawberry farms of La Trinidad, Benguet, this giant strawberry would be your landmark and proof that you are already entering the premises of Benguet State University's Strawberry farm.

At the strawberry farm of Benguet, you have the ability to pick your own strawberries during harvest season (November to May) but the cost would be double compared to the market price.

The price is more expensive because you are also paying for the experience.

Another interesting capability of Benguet province that other places can never have is that the province is capable of hosting a strawberry farm.

I visited the strawberry farm in La Trinidad, Benguet and it is my first time to see a strawberry farm that's why this is a memorable trip. The strawberry farm in Benguet is managed by the Benguet State University. Produces from this farm are being sold and sometimes processed to make new products out of it such as the Strawberry Jam.

I was doing a walking tour in Baguio city until on my way from the Baguio city hall, I saw these three girls well-bonded together. 

They have been chatting for awhile while facing the road and let the jeepneys and other vehicles to pass by.

They are sitting on the steps of a concrete stair leading to the top of a hill where the Baguio city hall is located. The city Hall is close to Baguio Central School where these girls came from.

The city hall of Baguio is located atop a hill so you have to take the several steps to reach the top. The girls just love their place. Well, for a cool city like Baguio, I think everywhere can be a nice place to stay.

Burnham Lake is a man-made lake located in Baguio City, the Philippines' summer capital. 

The main feature of this lake is actually for boating activities. It is not a huge lake, you can round the lake's perimeter for 15-30 minutes. It was named after Daniel Burnham, an American architect who laid out an urban planning to the city of Baguio.

Around Burnham Lake, there are lots of activities such as biking, a jogging session early in the morning, food tripping, visiting an orchidarium at the western part or simply relax and just enjoy the cool breeze of the city while seeing the man-made lake.

Burnham Park is Baguio's most popular destination for leisure and fun. At the western part of Burnham park in Baguio city is a place where one can have a biking activity where you can rent a bike - single bike, bike in tandem or bike with sidecar. 

There are also bike for little kids. The photo shows me how happy life could be. The boy just rides the bike with innocence in his face, no marks of problems and frustrations. As life goes on, struggles, failures and problems come and go. But as the boy enjoys his biking moments, everyone also deserves to be happy. 

Problems are inevitable and we must deal with it. It should not stop us from dreaming and achieving a goal. It is just a spice of our life. Life is too short and let's enjoy it as long as we are alive like what the boy in bike does.
