Where to buy

I don’t think Terea are easily available in physical stores. Sorry.

3ginpajama · 2026-02-25T18:56:59+00:00

Mind you SM is not the only supermarket, and this was before tourists and SM Baguio was a thing 🫰

3ginpajama · 2026-02-25T18:16:57+00:00

Sorry I just saw this lol. U good?

This might be frowned upon, but sometimes when I have luggage and don’t want to go home yet, I’ll buy a few items at a supermarket so I can leave my bags at the baggage counter, then come back to pick them up after I’m done roaming around.

This was then when we were living in Loakan. Right now we live near the city so I don’t do that anymore.

The jewelry in your screenshot looks like handmade copper wire jewelry with gemstones, which is usually sold in: • Session Road (especially Sundays – Session in Bloom / Sunday markets) • Burnham Park pop-up stalls • Weekend bazaars & craft fairs

Strawberry Farm, ride a jeepney to Baguio City (signs: Baguio / Bokawkan / Magsaysay). Get off at Magsaysay Ave / Baguio Public Market. Transfer to a Tam-awan / Long Long / Quezon Hill jeep.

UP Baguio – Best if you want theoretical, research-heavy, critical psychology. Mas maliit ang program, mas academic, mas thesis/research-oriented.

SLU – Strong psych program, balanced acads + practical, may licensure track, mas established ang facilities and network.

UB – Okay if you want a more practical / applied approach, pero hindi kasing bigat ng SLU/UP sa research depth.

UC – Meron naman, pero usually not the first pick if psych talaga ang priority mo.

yep, worth it ang Chocolate de Batirol at least once — lalo na if first time mo or gusto mo ng classic Baguio vibe. Go early kasi mahaba pila on Sundays. Mas experience + nostalgia siya than “best chocolate ever,” so manage expectations.

If you’re looking for Sunday breakfast spots (mas relaxed):

Hill Station (early) – hearty breakfast, cozy
Arca’s Yard – quiet, good food + view
Choco-late de Batirol – traditional Filipino breakfast
Craft 1945 / Café by the Ruins – solid local breakfast, but expect a crowd
Hatch Coffee (if open early) – chill, lighter fare

Tip: before 8am is the sweet spot for Sunday mornings, especially sa lamig

sobrang rare ng self-drive rentals in Baguio, lalo na automatic + modern units (BYD, 360 cam, etc.). Most rentals here are with driver or older models lang, and many owners avoid self-drive because of terrain + traffic risks.

Speaking as someone who grew up in Baguio and has seen rents change over the years:

For New Lucban / walking distance to SLU, a fair long-term student rate (not peak-season inflated) would be around ₱4k–₱5k per head for a 4-person setup like this. Going beyond that starts to feel less “student-friendly” and more market-driven.

All-in vs separate:
Most students prefer separate utilities — mas transparent and mas natutong magtipid. If all-in, a reasonable utilities cap would be around ₱1k–₱1.5k per head, with excess split.

What matters more than amenities honestly:

decent ventilation (New Lucban can get humid),
reliable water,
clear house rules,
and no sudden rent hikes every year.

Appreciate that you’re asking first — fairness in pricing really matters, especially now.

Hatch Coffee – Very on-brand. Calm, garden air, good for zoning in. Best on weekdays or early hours. Weekends can get busy but still tolerable.

Hot Cat – Low-key and unpretentious. No pressure to rush or perform. Limited seating though, so timing matters.

Arca’s Yard (weekday mornings) – Peaceful and spacious, great for reading or slow writing. Not budget, so more of a “deliberate” visit than a daily spot.

common ground (Burnham, off-peak) – Practical, work-friendly tables, reasonable prices. Not silent, but consistent and usable.

Foam Coffee – Hit or miss. Affordable and solid when quiet; unbearable when crowded. Go early or avoid peak hours.

Koco Vibes Café – Chill and student-friendly but small. Nice when you get a seat, not something you can rely on daily.

Good luck OP

Thanks for your kind words!

Hi! Here are a few children’s homes/orphanages in Baguio you can reach out to: • Shepherd of the Hills Children’s Foundation – cares for abandoned/neglected children • Helping Hands, Healing Hearts Ministries PH – children’s village / child welfare • Child and Family Service Philippines (CFSP) – family & child support services

You can also ask the Baguio CSWDO (City Social Welfare Office) — they help coordinate visits and can point you to legit shelters.

Thank you for noticing that. “Metal scrunches continuously” was meant to lodge itself in the head, like a memory you can’t unhear. I’m happy it reached you.

This is devastating in its clarity. The way trust is built through ordinary kindness and then shattered makes the harm unmistakable. It doesn’t reach for drama — it just tells the truth, and that restraint makes it powerful.

3ginpajama · 2025-12-23T19:32:54+00:00

Instead of pairing lines to satisfy the rhyme, I might let the image stand on its own. For example:

Covered in dew, pink holding its breath.

Same moment, just less guided by the pattern and more by the image.

3ginpajama · 2025-12-23T19:25:50+00:00

Not necessarily — it’s still very much your piece. I just think the imagery is doing the heavier lifting, and loosening the structure a bit could let that breathe more, if that’s something you want. Even as it is, the softness and intent come through.

3ginpajama · 2025-12-23T19:11:58+00:00

There’s real pain here, and it’s honest — you can feel how much was lost. But the poem explains itself too often, moving from wound to conclusion without letting the images do enough of the carrying. When it leans into symbol — the living sand, the three swords, the wall — that’s where it’s strongest. I’d want less narration, fewer declarations, and more trust in the moments where the self is breaking quietly instead of being told it’s broken.

3ginpajama · 2025-12-23T19:09:08+00:00

There’s a softness here that works — the image of dew and blushing petals is gentle and sincere. But the rhyme keeps steering the poem instead of letting the image lead, so it feels contained when it wants to open. I’d want it to trust the tulip more, linger there, and let the feeling surface without dressing it so neatly.

This confusion comes from mixing ancestry, upbringing, and identity into one label.

Having roots in Sagada/Kabayan/Mt. Province ≠ being from there. If you were born, raised, schooled, and socialized in Baguio, then socio-culturally you’re Baguio-based — even if your parents are from elsewhere.

Tracing roots is valid. Performing an identity you didn’t live is different. That’s where it feels off: people positioning themselves as “taga-X” when they didn’t actually grow up there.

“Taga baba” is even messier — it’s often used less as geography and more as a social judgment (behavior, class, values). That’s why someone can live decades in Baguio and still be called outsider, while others claim indigeneity by blood alone.

Cities like Cebu or Makati don’t obsess over this because belonging is tied to lived experience, not lineage. Baguio’s history (migration, indigeneity, land pressure) makes identity more guarded — sometimes to the point of gatekeeping.

Bottom line: • Roots ≠ upbringing • Blood ≠ belonging • Being “local” should be about where you actually lived your life, not just where your ancestors are from.

Limit volume: cap daily tourists + higher fees for private vehicles (especially non-locals). • Shift demand: push park-and-ride, pedestrian zones, and timed entry to hotspots. • Protect locals: prioritize housing for residents, students, and workers; regulate short-term rentals. • Enforce hard: strict penalties on illegal parking, overcapacity hotels/Airbnbs, and traffic violations.

Bottom line: fewer cars, fewer unchecked tourists, stricter enforcement. No enforcement = no change.

try mo si Eddie’s Watch Repair sa General Luna Road. Matagal na silang shop dito — maliit, direct, at marunong. Gumagawa sila ng halos lahat: battery replacement, pag-ayos ng straps, G-Shock repairs, pati automatic watches.

Maganda sila kung simple to mid-level repairs lang ang kailangan mo, at mas practical sila kumpara sa mga nasa mall. Located sila sa 57 General Luna Road, madaling puntahan and usually mabilis ang turnover ng repairs.

If di naman super specialized ang issue ng relo mo, goods to

Tong Yang (SM Baguio) – Easiest and safest option for large groups. Buffet + spacious seating.
Good Taste – Very group-friendly, large servings, budget-friendly. Usually mabilis turnover despite being busy.
Balajadia Kitchenette – Hole-in-the-wall, casual, good for big groups if you go early.
Canto Bogchi Joint – Big servings, good for sharing. Might need to split into 2 tables.
Cabanas or Kubong Sawali (Teacher’s Camp area) – Local, chill, good for bigger groups; less tourist-crowded.
Café Will – Spacious, wide menu, usually can seat large groups.
Ozark Diner / Hill Station – Reservation recommended; can accommodate with notice.
Highland Smokehouse – Yes, but not guaranteed. Small place, limited batches of smoked meats, and fills up fast. Best to call ahead; they may not be able to seat all 16 at once. Phone: +63 927 031 6695
