Me & Paolo Originally uploaded by annalyn. Two weeks ago my editor texted me: how about spending a romantic and passionate weekend in Baguio City with your boyfriend? Ajay: Haruuuumph...wala nga bf eh. But I'd love to go! Editor: Okay, I'll book you then. Have a romantic and passionate time. With Boyfriend or none, the reason why I wanted to go to Baguio was because I haven't been there in close to ten years.
