(That’s including the two years of COVID pandemic which I said I wouldn’t count since “I didn’t use” these years, all that while focusing mainly on posts of lockdown/house arrest eats and eatsploring via delivery on this blog’s Facebook page. =] )
10 years … With almost 500 blogposts, possibly thousands of photos in my archive of a myriad of dishes that my foodie lovies and I enjoyed at different restos, some that have come and already gone; I think the time has come to give this online diary hobby of mine a rest and go back to eating “in private” (I’ll still be talking photos of food to remember them by because you know. *hee Memory gap. =b) and food tripping “in peace” [Considering all the work that goes into composing a feature post. Gosh, the photo editors that have expired on me in just this timespan, the hours that passed me by making a writeup (Which is all right really, especially when I wasn’t occupied with work. Remember what they say about idle minds.), internet provider switches, etc.]
I, X, am retiring X Marks the Spot for Good Baguio Foods since I’ve found a great many treasures in these 10 years. (Delectable delights for the tastebuds, fabulous memories, and best of all: Friends. =) )
I would like to THANK YOU, dear readers and followers, for accompanying me on this food quest albeit belatedly and virtually (Only when I get the post up. =D ) on your end.
I know I’m leaving you in the more than capable hands of the numerous bloggers and vloggers in this technological day and age. *hihi
Farewell ahoy, mateys! (“,) Stay safe, warm, and dry!
Hi Xine. I had to read your reply to me on the Mangiamo post again and again. Youre really saying goodbye to blogging. I hope this is just temporary. My family and I will be waiting and hoping for your return. We think you are the best food blogger out there and we get so much juicy information from you about the Baguio dining scene. Have a rest and come back please.
Sad but thankful for Find Good Baguio Foods.I will cherish memories of reading your features of the newest restos you have discovered and also the memories I got to have with my loved ones at your recommended places.
Why??????? Your blog is the first place I go to whenever friends and I will eat out. Even in the pandemic you have an update even just shops that deliver. Please come back.
This is shocking news. FGBFs is my favorite Baguio blog. Even if I only come to Baguio a few times a year I keep checking on your posts and what new addition you have to the Baguio Restaurant list.
Hi, Xine. I have been missing your posts and now I will miss them more knowing you wont be posting anymore. This is really shocking news. Please change your mind.
Hello Xine. I took a long time to leave a comment because I was shocked and saddened with this post. You really made our food trips, in your words “eatsplorations” very exciting. Your features and recommendations went beyond the regular same old restaurants in Baguio like Cafe by the Ruins, Good Taste etc and I want to thank you for that. I wish you all the best and happy eating in private, Xine.
Its very sad and it feels very different knowing that weve lost our original food adventurer in you who tells us about new restaurants and delicious food in Baguio. Thank you for the information you shared with us for free.
Hello X of FindgoodBaguioFoods.com. Your signing out of blogging is sorrowful news. I hope yo uknow how much we appreciate what you do. Thanks very much.
Waiting for you to change your mind.
Thank you dear blogger. I haven’t been home in Baguio for a long time but before I left the country 6 years ago, I always refer to your blog for quick guides for a nice place to try or a not so good place to avoid or still try. I hope, somewhere we can still find you and know your thoughts on foods that you try. Again, thank you for all your hard work here. ❤️
I have not been travelling since CV19 started. I was looking forward to your new discoveries and dining there once we return to real normal. Unhappy news to hear you’re retiring your foodblog. I wish you well.
X Marks the Spot for Good Baguio Foods is a personal blog. Everything posted in this blog is PERSONAL OPINION DERIVED FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE and since TASTE can be pretty SUBJECTIVE, should NOT be taken as THE NORM or the LAW OF DINING around in the City of Pines.
Its (prosaic =b) contents are meant to help with the question “san tayo?”/where do we go? in relation to eating out in Baguio, to ENCOURAGE EXPLORING (eatsploring) and TRYING NEW THINGS offered in the City of Pines.
By all means, eat where you want to eat and eat what you want to eat. May you have a great experience with all the places you visit and may all the restaurants you go to deserve a ton of treasure chests! (“,)
(Also, if you have any second thoughts about a certain place you arrive at, please DON'T LET THIS BLOG BE THE REASON YOU ARE FORCED into ending up anywhere. If the restaurant doesn’t have what you want, please FEEL FREE TO WALK AWAY.)
Who Picks Up the Tab? ^^,
Unless otherwise stated, I finance this Baguio eatscapade with my own hard earned - as per Melvin Udall in As Good As It Gets: “big sweaty wads of …” =)) - money.
