So, Part 3. The reason I made this the last part because it is the longest and I have not had enough time the past few days to compose a decent post. This also is closest to my heart, so I wanted to dedicate a longer time in writing it. MY JUICING JOURNEY About a year or so ago, I've gotten into the juicing bandwagon. I started juicing vegetables and fruits (my sister and I even created a website about it, which is being neglected at the moment), and basically just started living a healthy life of no fastfood, alcohol, softdrinks, overly-processed foods etc. It had a positive effect on me and my body. I lost so much weight in very little time and was glowing. I've derailed from it a lot of times, in fact I'm not as active in juicing as I initially was, but it's something that I know I would want to do for the rest of my life. And I am working at getting back on track (and reviving the website too!). I haven't been active mainly because of two reasons:
- I've traveled so much the past year and lugging around my juicer was kind of not an option. I tried buying juices from shops, but sometimes it's just not enough and it can become really expensive - which is my reason number 2.
- It can become really expensive. LoL. I buy my organic produce from Tagaytay, which is just about a 30-minute drive from where I live. My friend and I discovered organic farms that sold organic fruits and vegetables at a reasonable price. It just becomes unreasonable when you have to think about the gas for your car and the number of times you have to go there to get produce for your everyday needs. I used to go every week and I would shell out 1-1.5k per outing. Not too bad, actually, but it's still pricey compared to just buying stuff from the wet market nearest you which can cost you at about 500 pesos, buying the same amount of food - just the inorganic version, that is. Bah.
This is Part 1 of my trip to Benguet / Baguio. Yes, there are more parts to this because it deserves a 3-part blog post, because that place (or places) is just awesome. So, part 1. One of my colleagues invited us
