The Philippines is a tropical country with only two seasons: wet and dry. It’s a dream to experience what winter, spring, summer or fall feels like. Well, except maybe for summer since it almost always feels that way here. I haven’t been to Japan, but I heard so much about Sakura (cherry blossoms) lately that it makes me want to visit the country someday.

This photo was taken by my youngest brother using his BlackBerry Z10 from our recent trip to Tagaytay. I particularly loved how vibrant the colors turned out; no filters necessary. Seeing flowers abloom reminds me that despite the scorching heat here in the Philippines, something good and beautiful comes out of it.

Ang ganda. I can’t wait to see these flowers again when I return to the Philippines in June!

Tapos na agad?! Ambilis naman! Akala ko dito kayo ikakasal sa Pilipinas. Good luck sa panahon dito paguwi mo, pero June na ‘yun, so baka maulan-ulan na. Sobrang init dito ngayon! Yung tipong kaliligo mo lang, gusto mo nang maligo ulit.
Aliw ka. Ang tatas mo mag-Tagalog! :D

Ever been to Baguio? Loved the weather there when I went!

I have, but it was ages ago! If memory serves me right, I was only in first grade when I last went there. I heard most flowers sold here in the city are from there!

I grew up in south Florida, which is sub-tropical, so I kind of know what you’re talking about. I like the change of seasons, even though I get tired of winter.

I’ve always associated winter to Christmas holidays (except for those in the northern hemisphere), and always think where there’s winter, there’s snow. I only realized that’s not the case when my husband lived in Texas.
Nevertheless, I look forward to first-hand experience of all four seasons. I’m sorry if I sound too shallow!

Not shallow at all! There is something very special about the change of seasons.

I didn’t know there are cherry blossoms in Canada, too! I have cousins in Winnipeg. Do they have them there?
Actually, I don’t even know! It’s among the bed of flowers beside the church we went to. :D

One to many all line up on the street boulevards, residential area, you name it. It’s very common.
Thanks for responding about the flower. :P

That is so awesome! I’d take note of that when I come to visit my cousins in Canada. The chances are greater than having a photo op with Sakura in Japan!
No, thank you for stopping by! :)
