Bazaars. Who doesn’t
love them? Imagine a long strip of stalls offering interesting finds at
rock-bottom prices. Even if you don’t intend to shop, it’s okay, because you’re
in for a delightful visual treat when you visit bazaars.
As an unofficial
Baguio City resident (because I’ve been staying in-and-out of the city for four
years now), I feel excited when the month of February looms in because of the
Panagbenga (“season of blooming”) Festival – a month-long celebration composed
of dances, pageants, and shows. The festival’s highlight is the last weekend of
the month wherein grand flower-adorned floats are paraded. There’s an enormous
scattering of celebrities and of course, tourists everywhere.

No

excites me is the “Session in Bloom” bazaar which takes place a day after the
parade. The bazaar has quirky finds which you don’t see in shopping malls. Here are some of the certified eye-candies which stood out for
me among the 200+ stalls:
