Home SUITE Home

Regardless of where I am, being with my family is what makes me feel at home… There are moments however when you also enjoy the serenity of that personal space’s exclusivity… I (or I believe, we – my family) experienced both in a fitting MOMent along a timely occasion at a suitable retreat – make that SUITE-able haven.

The commemoration of Mothers’ Day just last Sunday of which subsequent to it was the national election the next day made it a long weekend. Usually, 3-day off from work is simply spent as a longer period for ‘family time’. What makes it rather extra special is some out-of-the-ordinary indulgence.

 And far from commonplace indeed, we seized the chance to spend 3 nights and 3 days in a 3-bedroom suite at Azalea Residences Baguio. Markedly, too much 3s there (3-day off, 3 nights/3 days, 3-bedroom suite…) but (and as if to substantiate ‘family man’ as this site’s essence…) the best ‘3’ for me however are the similarly “threefold” reasons: father, mother and kids – Family.

Quite in harmony, Azalea Residences seems to exemplify that same value. Unlike the traditional hotels where rooms or simply a place-to-stay is what is given focus to, Azalea Residences gives importance to affectionate closeness as a complementary encounter on its own. While local sights, sounds and flavor are thought to be reasons enough for a vacation, Azalea Residences Baguio offers more with an experience corresponding with that of “home away from home”. 

True to their catch-phrase “Your holiday haven”, every day with Azalea Residences Baguio is a holy day as it encourages sanctity of affection… and as if integrating ‘having’ and ‘heaven’, one (family or group) is in for having more than a treat but a moment of realization leading to reasons of your being… This holiday haven just made me further realize the value of my family as much as having the motivation to gain the capacity in providing for them the extravagance of togetherness.

Alternatively, for the expression of individuality or that sought basic hush-hush moment, each room comes with its own flat TV should the preference for a TV program differ or even if entertainment of guests by another is taking place at the living room (or perhaps for that “sound-defying” instant hehe)…

More than an experience, more so in celebrating Mothers’ Day, it was a retreat and a gathering of memorable thoughts and life episodes even for a father like me. Actually, especially for any father whose idea of celebrating Mothers’ Day in honor of his children’s mother… The opportunity to strengthen the family union is what was gained more than anything else… Azalea Residences Baguio paved a SUITE-able avenue for that. It did not just construct a residential building similar to that a father that just took a wife and had kids. Like a father that molded a family; it established ‘Home SUITE Home’.

Stop The Hate

And spread the love... I could have used “Spread The Love” for a title and the “stop the hate” for an onset instead... However, nowadays, a more intriguing issue leaning on negativity stirs a more engaging traction; when subject is abject. “Vilify and it goes viral; praise and it (apparently) goes to waste...” Also, I could have just merged the two as it should be; given that when you stop the hate, it should correspond with spreading the love. But then, what’s rampant along today’s society is how people would rather pay attention to other people’s “negative attributes” to conjure up prodding against those being maligned instead of focusing on (their) fine qualities that merit compliments. For some, they forego of the possibility of being labeled as “humble brags” which similarly get misinterpreted (probably out of envy) and turn into critical imputations from others. Thus, they turn into the opposite as critics instead and express something else against anyone/thing from...

Rain, Rain, Go Away. Walang Pasok Anyway

“Walang pasok” might as well be for “wala ng (puma)pasok na pag-unawa” among us... Suspension of classes during this rainy/typhoon season here in Baguio and Benguet has been a constant issue. Both are under separate government units. Thus, its respective local government’s discretion on such weather-concerning decision is rather sought, apparently for all the “authority and liability” aspect’s worth. One major concern however is that, there seems to be a discrepancy on the two governing bodies’ jurisdictions along the inclement weather’s path (and radius), geographically within a common “area of responsibility” which raises these concerns: Baguio is in Benguet What if a student happens to be a resident of, say, La Trinidad but studies in Baguio or vice versa... Do we have to rely (every time) on their discretion? How about considerations leaning towards common sense which could affect one’s academic performance (isn’t that ironic) ... will it be taken against the stud...

Uncles and Aunties of Baguio: Who We Are is Who We Were

While it’s true that it was patterned from, as well as inspired by the far more reaching “Titos and Titas of Manila” Facebook group which apparently has been conceptualized from its recently implied premise, “ Uncles and Aunties of Baguio “ on the other hand was initially thought of and created for the purpose of a more nonchalant acceptance given its commonplace exclusivity other than reliving the good old times as an acknowledgment of the difference from any other generation. Come to think of it, the connotation behind “Tito/Tita of (what place) ” as currently referred to doesn’t actually have “that sweet” forethought. It’s almost leaning towards “that sourness” caught between “nagmumurang kamatis” and being “may asim pa” ... Imagine (say) one in his 40s at a party among a bunch most likely half his age “leveling” with the young ones still yet courteously addressed as “Tito” (not to mention, that’s with ”po” and ”opo” )... However, not to appear defensive and at the same ti...
