Baguio! I was there last July 24, 2010 with some officemates and it rained while we were strolling around. We’ve walked our way to the Pink Sisters Convent, Good Shepherd, Mines View and Burnham Parks, wet market – all over the city – all in one day! With our jackets on and umbrellas up, we had a very cold and foggy tour! A bowl of hot Arroz caldo for each of us was definitely a hit!

If I’m feeling of staying indoors I’d choose TAGAYTAY. its near Manila and the breeze if perfect to cuddle with a love one (heart) Checking in bed and breakfast with a perfect view of Taal Lake, while reading a good book and sipping hot choco is the perfect moment during rainy days.
If I’m feeling outdoor naman, I’d choose La Union or Aurora, though I haven’t tried surfing my bestfriend always tell me it exciting to hugs the waves, and surfing will be more exciting because of bigger waves during rainy season!

For the first question, it’s Batanes. Why? Very picturesque. You are surrounded with the beauty of the green fields and the blue sea. And even with the rain, it’s still very calming and comforting.

I think it’s best to tour Metro Manila during the rainy season. You could spend summer touring the various islands around the Philippines, but you could spend the rainy days discovering what Manila could offer. If you’re looking for an out of town trip, I’d go for Laguna, not much people there at this time of the year, plus they have lots of hot spring resorts.. you could just enjoy the hot waters with this cold season.
I love eating tsamporado and dilis on a rainy day. I could just imagine eating it while cuddled on my favorite chair, watching tv all day while rain pours outside.
