Crisp mountain air tickled my nose as I wrapped my small hand around my dad's warm,
calloused one. He hoisted me onto his shoulders, and suddenly, the world transformed. Below, a
sea of emerald green pine trees stretched out, dotted with the colorful rooftops of Baguio. My
parents and siblings, all bundled in thick jackets, pointed out landmarks – Burnham Park,
Session Road, and the spires of Mines View Park. Laughter and chatter filled the air, a
symphony of joy against the backdrop of the bustling city below. As the cool breeze ruffled my
hair, I knew this moment, nestled amongst the mountains with my family, would forever be
etched in my memory.
