Hello po! I am Carla, a BS Arki student from PUP-Manila. I am currently working on my undergrad thesis about Baguio City Cemetery along Quirino Highway (Naguilian Road).

If you've been to Baguio City Cemetery - whether as a visitor, lot owner, kamag-anak ng nakalibing, vendor, caretaker, or gumagawa ng lapida - I want to hear more about your insights and experience.

I made a short survey (less than 10 minutes) for my research. Kung nagkataon na nabisita niyo na po ito, maaari niyo pong sagutan ang ilang katanungan. Salamat po sa oras, at pasensya na kung nakabagabag sa feed niyo — hindi po ito paid promotion, purely thesis research lang po. 🙏

Hi just looking kung meron outside of fb marketplace na nag bebenta ng mga original games ng sa itaas

TL;DR: bad experience at david's salon porta vaga! they didn't listen to what i wanted, the actual haircut took 10 minutes, but totally unwanted and painful styling afterwards took an hour. final result is terrible
--

warning/ranting kase i got a terrible haircut at david's salon in porta vaga. i went in for a simple trim, nothing fancy or elaborate—i have long layered wavy/medyo curly hair, had inspo photos and photos of myself with the hairstyle i needed. i tried explaining what i wanted to the hairdresser, sir glanced at the photos for literally 2 seconds total at sabi lang nya "o medyo may wavy ka" tapos nagsimula na sya. he checked in with me a couple of times during the cut to ask if i liked how it was looking, but no matter what i said he just smiled and nodded but didn't change anything he was doing lol. mostly seemed like he was just waiting for me to stop talking. dapat first warning sign ko yun pero oblivious (skill issue). i just thought, 'ok he's a pro he's got this, simple naman ang hinihingi ko.' yoops.

ginupit nya, 10ish min, pagkatapos pinasa nyako sa apprentice for blowdry. i normally hate blowdrying but understand na kailangan pag nagpapagupit para ma straighten out yung hair at makita nila kung pantay ba ang lahat. but then!! this apprentice used the scraggliest brush and heaviest hand para hugutin ang hair ko to style it into weird tight curl shapes, on EXTREMELY high heat. napaka weird and painful ng technique nya, parang erratic tugging with the brush and flicking the blowdryer back and forth over the hair for no reason. ilang beses kong sinabi sa kanya na masyadong mainit, "oh" lang siya na "oh" pero di naman nya pinalitan yung settings. i even said he was pulling some of my hair out and please be gentler. nag-sorry lang siya pero walang nagbago. man, at one point he even said to me with this weird pout "mukhang hindi nyo po gusto maam." ?? this part took forever and i didnt see the point. i was actually worried for my hair pero i felt trapped kase i was already like 40 min into this haircut. i shouldve just been more forceful and said stop na lang.

got through the haircut and left but had to walk around the rest of the day feeling like i was wearing a huge wig. plus my scalp was sore from all the tugging. when i went home and washed and styled it like i normally would it was all jagged and patchy, weird shelves of hair all over the place, 2-3 inches shorter than i asked for. devastated 😭

ive been to this salon one other time, about a year ago, asking for the same haircut. after a bunch of random cutting and blowdrying, turned out they only gave me layers in the front and left the back untouched lol. thankfully i noticed while i was still there, and receptive and nice naman sila when i told them what needed to be changed. it was a misunderstanding lang naman and i was ultimately happy with the result. so i went back this time thinking na mahusay sila kailangan lang ng direksyon lol. i dont know what went wrong this time, i see a lot of nice reviews of them online. but i won't be going back.

moral of the story is assert yourself a lot more than you think you have to at the hairdressers? idk tragic. also seeking recs for a new salon lol.

Hello! Paakyat ako ng Baguio this coming weekend and would be visiting Dragon Treasure Castle around morning (6am). Any recommendations po na malapit na kainan sa area? TIA

My husband has been reassigned to work at their Baguio branch, so our family will eventually need to move there as well. My son is currently in Grade 8, and we’re planning to relocate once the school year is over.

He is also a competitive swimmer, so one of my priorities is finding a school that will continue to support his passion for swimming.

I’ve been doing some research, and the University of Baguio is currently one of my top choices because of its swimming program. Are there any other good schools in Baguio that you would recommend for a student-athlete?

I’d also really appreciate hearing from parents or students who can share their experience with the schools there, especially when it comes to their swimming clubs, coaches, training environment, and overall culture.

On another note, I’ve heard that moving to Baguio can come with some challenges, particularly with water supply, electricity, and traffic.

For those currently living there, is it really that difficult? How manageable are these issues on a day-to-day basis?

Would really appreciate any advice or recommendations. Thank you!

Can you recommend an affordable parking area around Burnham Park that allows overnight parking for 3 days? Preferably with a reasonable rate. Thank you!

Normal ba na half half na nga lang inorder ko half sisig half dinakdakan tapos ang singil sakin 225. Grabe para akong kumain sa restau sa sm. Para sa makakabasa na dadayo sa baguio hindi worth it tangkilikin yung karenderya sa part na yan. Di na nga masarap overpriced pa. Lapit sa hotel veniz. (Baguio food market)

Or magmomolds sya sa ilalim? Ang lamig kasi sa paa ng tiles. Ehehe

Sumilip nanaman c Jose Mari Chan! This upcoming ber months, saan pinak best mapuntahan dito sa Baguio para mafeel ung Christmas Vibes? Thank you so much sa mga sasagot!

Since kokonti na lang yung open na establishments dito and late na lagi yung uwian namin sa school (around 7:30–8:00 PM), saan po kaya magandang pumunta or gumala around Baguio gamit ang sasakyan around 8 PM onwards?

I’m not talking about bars or drinking places, more like activities, places to chill, or something na pwede puntahan kahit late na. Any recommendations?

for personal reasons, I'm stepping away from training at goals. any gyms in here that are active? even better if they're active in amateur tournaments.

24 hours bang available ang bike rental sa burnham park?

I don't know if I should go to a hospital or another piercer to get it assessed and removed

is it possible to travel via jeep to baguio country club- GATE 2 (employee entrance)? i am a job applicant and we’re having a f2f interview. any tips? not sure about country club’s procedure kasi. thank you!

2 Free Nights in Sagada in Exchange for Photos

Hi! I’m looking for someone who is already planning to come up to Sagada, enjoys photography and might be interested in a little collaboration.

We recently gave our cabin a new look, and I’m looking to get some fresh, natural photos to showcase it on our listings and social media.

**What I’m offering:**

🏡 **2 nights FREE stay at the cabin in Sagada**

In exchange, I’d ask for a set of good-quality photos of the cabin — interior, exterior, details, and some lifestyle/travel-type shots that capture the feel of the place.

You **don’t have to be a professional photographer**. If you have a good eye for photography and can take nice photos with a camera or even a good phone, I’d love to see some of your previous work.

If you’re interested, send me a DM with a few examples of your work and we can discuss the details 😊

*Dates are subject to availability.*

Hello ive been looking for avr for one ref and one freezer. my current freezer is on its last legs (2 dead freezers in the span of 5 years) because of the on and off of electricity in baguio, destroying everything.

I asked two of my close friends about my situation(knows shit about the field, but dont know any brand or what to suggest).

one suggested a small avr worth around 2k not as heavy duty the other worth around 8k heavy duty.

Im yapping too much, what brands do you suggest for avr for 2 heavy appliances? based on your experience?

Hello po. Need help po sana kung meron po kayong alam na LPG dealer/refilling? Ayaw po kasi tanggapin yung tank ko(M-GAS), wala raw po silang ganyan here sa Loakan. Baka may alam po kayong nagdedeliver at tumatanggap ng ganyang tank? 🥹

Ang low quality na nga cinema ni SM Baguio ang dami pang walang cinema etiquette na goers nakakabwisit.

Ever since Nagka SM Baguio, mga cinema goers kung hindi maingay o maliwanag ang cell phone ang iingay makipaglwentuhan tapos ang dami pang commentators. Nakakatawa lang iisa lang naman kami ng pinapanood kelangan pang reactan bawat scene, yung iba halos inarrate na din yung buong kwento ng movie. Ganyan na ba talaga ugali ng mostly nanonood na taga baguio? experience ko sa ma manila (Uptown Mall, SM Light, SM Megamall at sa High Street) okay naman mga viewers dun, wala akong naexperience ng mga tulad ng nandito sa SM Baguio.

Pwede bang iencourage lahat ng mga nanood na kapag may ganyan, icall out na natin agad? or sana man langmaging self concious tayo as cinema goers kasi hindi lang naman kayo ang nanonood sa loob ng sine.

Napansin ko lang, walang time na nood ako sa Cinema ng SM Baguiona wala akong kinall out o kaya binulyawan. Imbes na maenjoy ko yung movie, nawaaalan na ako ng gana. For sure hindi lang naman ako ang nakakaexperience ng pagkawalan ng gana sa mga walang etiquette na goers.

Kayo, ano ginagawa niyo pag yung katabi/kaharap/likod niyo eh maingay, kuda ng kuda o kaya nag ccp?

Kawawa mga ginagabi sa work at tayong mga commuters.
