8/365: Baby It’s Cold Outside… And Yet I’m Dreaming of A Colder Place Like Baguio City

This is the time of the year that I am loving the Philippine weather. A lot colder than usual.   I feel that people and things are fresh-looking during this kind of weather.  The roads are not too dusty and people look a little less stress compared to during sunny days. As we say it in Filipino “bawas init ng ulo”.

Not that I don’t like summer in the Philippines.  It’s just that sunny days are more often felt in the Philippines than colder days.  I mean colder without the rain (and the floods).

When I checked on the temperature today it says 28 °C for Manila and 18 °C for Baguio City

The funny thing about me when I feel this kind of weather while in the city is that I have this urge to go to  Baguio (or Tagaytay).  I want to feel a colder weather than what I am feeling right now.   That may sound funny but yes I always feel this way every time I am feeling a colder Manila weather.

I have mentioned in some of  my posts that my favorite destination for a getaway is  Baguio and Tagaytay City.  I have been to these places for several times but they are all during the summer.  The purpose of those trips is of course is to escape the Manila heat.

So maybe to have a different experience I would like to try a colder Baguio.  Also, not that I am happy about the effect of the frosting of vegetables in Baguio and Benguet, but I want to experience seeing them by myself.

But oh don’t get me wrong.  Not because I am enjoying the cold weather that means that I like the climate in the countries with winter season.  Not really especially at this time that they are experiencing a deadly chill.

What kind of weather do you enjoy anyway?
