American Tourists on a mini travel documentary of Baguio
This video made me smile. The most common comment they made is how the place is quite crowded but overall positive vibes all round :-). I miss my hometown.

The Baguio City of my childhood
Last weekend we spent a relaxing afternoon by watching one of my favourite movies: The Sound of Music. I love this movie because it reminds me of the times when free movies were shown in Burnham Park during Holy Week in the late 70s. I told my wife this interesting piece of 'Baguio history', and then I realized that there were actually lots more things that truly made my childhood days in Baguio memorable. I have decided to list those here.
Are you also a kid from the 70s-80s Baguio City? See if you can also relate to any of these!

Silent Night by Ukulele Mike
I've had my ukelele for a couple of weeks now and it's a real fun instrument. I have managed to learn a number of chords, and the YouTube videos are really a big help, especially the tutorials by Ukulele Mike.
Silent Night is one of the songs I was able to pick up and learn by heart because it's has a relatively slow rhythm which makes playing the chords just right for the beginner. Plus you don't have to remember a lot of it, only 3 (or 4?) are used.
And then when you have fully learned playing this song using the key of G, try a method called transposing, which adjusts the song to a higher pitch (in this case, to the key of A). This method is also discussed in the video.
And what an apt song to learn this yuletide season!

Baguio most vulnerable to climate change - study
MANILA, Philippines - Baguio is most vulnerable to climate change, according to a study conducted by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF-Philippines) and the Bank of the Philippine Islands Foundation.
WWF-Philippines studied the impact of climate change in four cities, Baguio, Cebu, Iloilo and Davao, which were chosen based on the occurence of storms, floods, and other extreme climate events in the last decade. The paper "Business Risk Assessment and the Management of Climate Change Impacts" revealed trends drawn from existing climate studies and city-specific socio-economic information.
