We woke up 4am, Cardo told me that we will have breakfast at Vitalis...ito daw ang santorini ng ilocos.

I wore a very simple  summer dress while he wears khaki shorts, red shirt and spadrilles.

It was around 5:30 am when we reached vitalis. It was an awesome place. Ive been travelling a lot but I never knew na ang dami palang hidden treasures ng pilipinas.

Its so romantic... I cant really ask for more. All along he never let go of my hands... then after we had breakfast... he said he will bring me to baguio. Ive been there a lot of times. But maybe Cardo got more places in baguio that I havent been to. He had surprise me with his knowledge about places. So maybe I gotta trust him on this.

We were welcomed by the foggy atmosphere at kennon road. Wala talaga akong pangamba na siya ang nag mamaneho. I can now already tell that he is an expert driver.

We checked in at one ofnthe oldest hotels they have in baguio. We chose a presidential suite.

Ang una naming gagawin ay mamamasyal lang sa wright park at kumain ng strawberry taho. This areny typical dates but this had surpassed all the fine dining kind of dates I had in the past. This is really exeptional.

We were sitting down at the park...when he started another story.

"Mahal, do know why locals always say that you really havent been to baguio if you havent experienced creepy stuff..?"

"Thats interesting...tell me.."

"Ok... ang mga locals talaga dito are igorots and ilocanos... you can even easily determine which is which. Yung mga igorot, they have these features that locals can easily tell if igorot kaba or ilocano. Then, noon dawng sinaunang panahon. The igorots are composed of tribes.. Ang tatapang nila. The normal ways of territory preservation before is fighting through bolos. So hayun, itak laban sa itak kaya daw ang mga souls ay sobrang tatapang. Yan daw kung bakit medyo mga hostile ang mga multo dito sa baguio..."

I was listening to him soo fascinated as I lay my head on his shoulders while he is telling me holistorical stories.

"Hanggang ngayun daw, yung mga igorot talaga na nasa bondok parin.. they still do a lot of rituals... ang susunod nating pupuntahan ay ang TAM-AWAN. Its like preserved cultures of igorots. Lets go...?"

Nang dumating kami sa lugar. Inwas very amazed with the culture thats being displayed to the typical public.

"Get inside mahal... ito yung kubo na pag kukulungan ng mga igorot sa mga mag asawa na hindi makabuo ng anak hanggang sa mabuntis ang babae. I wonder if pwedi kaya akong manghingi ng pabor na magpakulong tayo..." I heard him chuckle.

"Gago ka eh...yoko nga ang creepy kaya!"

We both laughed at the idea.

Now, we are walking at the session road like very normal passer-by. Bumili kami ng isang shawarma. Hati kami eh. He dont care about the world. Sinusubu-an niya ako...

I cant think of any other perfect moment than this. 

Then we went to Burnham park . 

"mahal, may card reader oh. Try kaya natin. Tingnan natin anong sasabihin niya. I havent tried that before. Lets do our first time together." Sabi ko kay Cardo na nag pout ng lips. 

"lets do it! anything another the sun, mahal..." then he bit my lower lip not caring about the people clapping their hands as they witness the scene.

Kinakabahan ako ng ako ang unang pinabalasa sa baraha. 

"hija... ang sabi ng baraha mo. Ang pag-ibig na tunay pag darating sayo ay may kaakibat na kalungkutan at matinding luha.. susukatin nito ang pag iibigan nyo ng isang prinsepe. Darating ka sa punto na hindi mo na kayang lumaban. Pero pag ito ay para sayo, babalik ito sayo para samahan ka sa walang hanggan." Nag sitaasan ang lahat ng balahibo ko. Parang sobrang pangit naman ng kapalaran. Thats too impossible. Thats very unfair. Now, I dont wanna listen to her anymore. 

"manang....huwag nyo na pong tapusan. Ang pangit naman ho ng hula nyo..."

"hija... ang mga nasa baraha mo ay magsisilbing gabay sayo. Pero ang nakatakda ay nakatakda."

Binayaran ni Cardo ang matanda at hinila ako palayo.

"huwag mong isipin yun. Thats over dramatic. ok...?" he hugged me using his one arm and kissed my forehead to give me assurance.
