The Swan

Here is the paper fold for the table napkin swan. It's quite simple, so I will let the photos speak for themselves.








Enjoy!

Table napkin origami

These swans can make a dining table look festive and fun! I will share the folding process in the succeeding post.

Baguio's temperature at 7.5!

Last January 15, the morning temperature dipped to 7.5 degrees Celcius, the lowest ever recorded. This was explained to be caused by the northeast monsoon, according to weather forecaster PAGASA. In the northern regions of Benguet, the temperature was even a bit lower at 6 degrees.

The lowest temperature recorded so far in Baguio City was 6 degrees on Jan 1, 1961.

December thru February are the coldest months in Baguio. When I have friends who would like to visit, I advise them to visit mid- to late-January. By the end of February, the climate moves on to warmer temperatures. It's always wonderful to be able to bring out jackets and wear bonnets and mufflers during this cold season! And the cold water experiences of my friends are priceless, told over and over again when we remember happy days in Baguio.

Baguio-Quezon gets a facelift

Thanks to all my blog visitors to Baguio-Quezon! Thank you for your comments (which I immensely enjoy reading). I had been wanting to make this blog not only as a feature for our hometowns, but for making various concerns about Baguio City more public as well. It is very obvious that we are losing pine trees at a dramatic rate and the number of vehicles in the city increase unabated, making the quality of air very unsatisfactory. Alas, since we are currently in Wellington, New Zealand, I can no longer produce content for this blog.

However, I also do not want my blog to become lost in internet limbo because of inactivity. And so I will still keep this blog alive, but with a different content altogether. I will be using this blog to write about activities I do here that are related to paper, be it books, newspapers, origami, or craft.

As such, I will no longer be renewing the baguio-city.net domain. I cannot change the blogspot name and so baguio-quezon will remain, but I will have a sub-domain name from nickballesteros.com forwarded to this blog.

However, here are a couple of links that I would like to share with you. I go to these sites for information on Baguio City:
Baguio Insider - a blog by Lisa A. She is an inspiration to people who want to take action and make a difference in the community's upkeep.
Baguio Midland Courier - online version of one of Baguio City's newspapers
SunStar Baguio - another online newspaper

And of course, the links of Baguio bloggers I have in this blog!

I will still occasionally discuss topics about Baguio or Dolores, Quezon though. Especially if something comes up that warrants a discussion.

Once again, thank you all for sharing the journey, and I hope to still see you around in this blog.
