Remember Hyatt Terraces in Baguio?


Do you remember Hyatt Terraces in Baguio? Yes, the one that crashed during the July 16, 1990 earthquake with a 7.7 magnitude that killed almost a hundred people. Yes it was 17 years ago.

But did you know that I was there too at Hyatt from July 12-14, 1990 for our grand Victorino Family Reunion? All 8 families were there together with all the kids and of course our grandparents. That wasn't really our time yet, so the Lord had us come home two days before this giant earthquake. And I thank God even up to know for this.

I had a lot of good memories in this hotel - a lot of firsts to be exact. That was my first out of town trip with the whole clan and we had fun - REAL FUN!!! It was also my first time to stay in a first class hotel and this is where I had a chance to enter a casino and even got a chance to play the slot machine. But everything is different now, before you only get to play casino games but you have to enter a real casino but now there is an online casinos already where you can play casino online games. Oh well, times are really changing, everything now can be done using the net.

Ciao for now!
