We had a chance to have dinner twice in one of the romantic and old restaurants in Baguio – the Hill Station.

Three weeks after our trip in HongKong, we went to Malaysia to celebrate my birthday. The weather is hot but not humid. The feel did not surprise us since it’s expected and Philippines has also the same temperature.
