at Tam-awan Village

dito sana kami mag-stay,hehe

Just five minutes from the grotto is the Tam-awan village. According to what I’ve read this resembles the traditional Ifugao houses so I was really eager to see it. Meron din entrance pero PHP20 lang naman. We first took the other side kung saan andoon ‘yong bridge. Nakakatawa si Crissy kasi sobrang naasar siya sa akin kasi ako lang daw panay pakuha pictures. Siyempre, siya may hawak ng camera kasi. Tinakbuhan ko siya pagkatawid ng bridge kasi nangungulit na pakuha din daw siya. Nag-enjoy siya kuhanan lahat ng mga kubo doon. There was this fertility hut for those who wanted to conceive. Nakalagay ba naman doon na you have to stay inside for a month. Tapos if after daw a month wala pa rin, the woman can find another man to have her pregnant. Deadma si Crissy,hahaha. Seriously, part daw ‘yon ng Igorot culture na sila magpe-perform ng rituals. What is ironic at occupied daw “yon. But when we got there, there was two men occupying, foreigner ang isa.
Sabi ni Crissy, for sure bakla ‘ung isa. Aba! Tsismoso din siya.

After na malibot naming mga kubo doon, we went to the bamboo bridge again. Siyempre, pinagbigyan ko si Crissy at baka di na ako gawing model. We then went to their gallery, dito pala ang tambayan daw ng mga Baguio artists. Pero bawal kunan ‘yong mga artworks which are beautiful indeed.

Final destination for us was ‘ung kubo na puwede magpasketch. For PHP100 , gagawan ka ng sketch in 10-15 minutes. All throughout Crissy was taking pictures of me. So ayun na, siyempre di ko naman Makita what they were drawing. When I finally saw the sketch, wait lang parang di ‘ata ako. But anyway, I do appreciate their work. Malay mo, baka in their eyes, that is how they see me. Para daw si Roxanne Guino sabi nila,hehe. Maybe in an effort na pagandahin ako,iba lumabas na hitsura. Okay na rin afterall, I only paid a little amount
