INTAKO

Intako, a Kankanaey word which means intayo in Ilocano, tara in Filipino and let’s go in English.  We can picture from the title itself that it will be about places, but what places could that be? And what do we usually do in these places?

Now before you start making assumptions about this places, these places we’re about to talk about are places in Baguio City the summer capital of the Philippines, so keep reading.

These are the places where most of us spend our time when we have the time to cool off, relax and have a time for ourselves. Not to mention it’s where we can do the things we want with our free will. We can go in these places with our friends, loved ones, and even us alone.

So before you start to get bored, let’s start identifying these “places” we keep on talking about. I arranged them to the most to least visited.

First off are café’s, cafeterias and fast food chains. These are atop because it’s a common place where most people visit to do their task while eating or drinking. You can explore different kinds of foods or menus. You can also have a great quality time with or without companions. For some information, cafe is a word that refers to a place that offers coffee, tea and other such hot beverages. Cafeteria is a place where there is little to no staff and has mostly self service counters. Cafés are completely different from cafeteria in today's day and age. Some of the few honorable café’s and cafeterias in Baguio are McDo, Jollibee, Kfc, Mang Inasal, Quoted, Starbucks, Café Sapore , Café by the Ruins, ,Food court and more.

Second at the list are the Parks, Malls, Arcades, KTV, Movies, and Internet Shops. Other people tend to go around, shop, play, sing, dance and watch when they have the time. These places can help boost their energy and self in different fun stuffs. Too much stress isn’t good for us you know, so try different things. You might also discover new things about yourself. You can go shopping for your own to style or go around a park to bond. Here are some of the honorable mentions: Quantum, Tiyatro, Cinemas, Mineski Infinity and more.

At Third are Churches and their houses. Some of us just like to relax, slack off, and talk to God after a tiring day or when they are free. You can just stay home and stay lazy to catch your sleeps or to save expenses. Even if it’s not Sunday you can go to church to visit and pray to feel relived. Some honorable churches are Cathedral, St. Vincent, Bell church, Lourdes parish and more.

Here are some of the places most of us visit when we have a free time. We should enjoy the perfect view for having a little time for ourselves. Taking pictures each time you went to these places can help you remember what things you did to relax while having fun. It also helps to avoid being depressed or sad. It doesn’t matter if we spend money to feel relax or too be stress free, we just need to balance our expenses. They say you only live once right? (Y.O.L.O) but its wrong you live everyday (Y.L.E) so enjoy have fun and don’t stress too much and always wear a smile.

Do you have any places you know here in Baguio you want to share with us? Where and why should we go there?
