From experience or exposure nyo (no judgment) and educational purposes, pano malaman dog meat yong pagkain from taste alone? If you can't distinguish it by sight, pano masabi by taste or may distinct smell ba? And if by sight, how can you tell? Please describe them like i'm 5 and really dumb at this. May difference pag hindi pa na luto, na luto, at ginawang ingredient? Is it served as is ala watwat o may dishes? Ano common way pagka luto? May igado ba na dog meat?

For context, immersing deep into the Igorot culture means getting invited everywhere. I don't want to offend my hosts and judge their way of life at the same time I want to be able to tell and come up with excuses if the situation calls for it. Ngayon ko lang din naisipan may dishes ba only the insiders know? One time kasi, hungry, almost ko na makain yong baon na dog meat ng kasama ko. Di nya sinabi, di ko din tinanong at mukhang regular ulam lang naman so I took the offer until another kasama pointed it out and warned me. That was years ago. Di ko na matandaan how it looks o smell, I just remember I almost consumed dog meat. Kong hindi din ako sinabihan i'm sure I wouldn't be able to figure it out myself.

This is your reminder ayosin nyo desisyon nyo sa buhay pag solo living. May binuhat ako and got injured in the process. In my mind, ang mahal kasi mag bayad ng ilagay na natin 1000 para may tumulong mag buhat. Then I got injured. Doctor appointments, pamasahe, xray/ labs cost around 16k total. Sana pala I didn't hesitated mag labas ng 1k kahit umabot pa yon ng 3k para lang may tumulong sakin mag buhat. Expensive lesson 😭

When you contract a freelancer for house work and labor + materials na yong quoted price. Do I have the right to demand makita yong resibo o may right silang dumiskarte to save more on cost and pocket bigger margin?

Example: estimated cost ko 1,500. Quoted price is 2,000. Pumayag lang ako, sa kanya na yon 500 kako. Tas nong dumating pinamili nyang materials, I think 1,000 lang bili nya. Edi naka 1,000 sya. Can I demand to see the receipt kong finish output kasama labor and materials na binayaran ko?

Note: im solo living in a house na pina renovate yong area little by little. Baka i-remove na naman post ko kasi di daw related sa solo living

Hi any reco for deep cleaning in Mandaue/Consolacion area? Found a lot on Facebook but would be nice to get a proven reco

Edit: house cleaning services*

Last year nibalhin ko 2.5K ako bayad sa L300 nya apil 3 ka tao mo hakot. Mga 10 boxes rato sya, nya 40mins byahe pero sa lain nga province. Karon, naa nakoy mga cabinet og ref ipa aswat plus katong mga boxes pero way byahe, mga 3mins walk ra.

Pilay reasonable pangayo para tabang aswat diri? Way packing og unpacking involved. Aswat ra gyud mga gamit. Inadlaw ni o kontrata? Mga pila kaha? Magpakaon ko syempre. Salamat sa maka hatag idea. If naa mo ma reco, pwede pod. Or basin naay local app for this?

Is expecting a contract for a P5K single transaction excessive? From retail, goods, digital services, manual labor, trades, etc? Gaano kahaba o comprehensive do you expect them? O gaano ka simple?

It's easier pag digital services kasi check mo lang yong I agree to the terms and conditions chu chu pero when dealing with local suppliers, do you expect them? For my peace of mind, I like everything black and white, pero after talking to many freelancers, small contractors, companies di na ako sure. Hanggang presyo lang usapan, scope, and timeline tas ayon na. Kadalasan walang written document kahit simple lang.

For context, may pinagawa ako sa bahay. Salamat

Exclusively Baguio ba to o Ilokano? Cordillera? Gamit na gamit ko sya pero parang ako lang gumagamit pag nasa baba

Hi, first time user. Akala ko parang yong yellow sponge lang na matatanggal kong ano ano yong mga dumikit e bina brush ko ngayon andon pa rin yong brownish stain

Hi, galing ako bundok. Nong nasa Antipolo station kami pa Legarda, gandang ganda ako sa sunset habang inantay yong train dumating kaya nag picture ako. Sinita ako ng guard bawal daw mag picture. Tas pinatago selpon ko. E lahat ata naka palibot sakin nag selpon, ewan ko lang ako lang ba nag picture. Tinanong pa ako bat daw ako nag picture, di ako sumagot at tinago nalang ang selpon. E nagandahan nga lang ako sa reflection nong sun sa tracks, sa station, sa buildings, at palibot. Tingin ko anime scene. Paakyat palang sa escalator nag picture picture na din ako. Bawal ba talaga? Bakit?

Para sa mga naka bisita ng Baguio

Ano yong kinalakihan nyo na wala na ngayon at ano yong mga natira pa na walang pinag bago? Could be a spot, building, a resto, etc

I like to think yong burnharm lake/park kaso ilang improvement na dinaanan non. Iba na itsura noon kesa ngayon. Meron bang standing ngayon na looks exactly the same or close to what you remember when you were young maliban sa pine trees?

Edit: feel free mag comment yong may alam kahit hindi born in the 90s hehe

Napansin nyo ba parang trained to entertain yong penguins sa penguin cafe?

They know kelan magpa bibo kasi may customers at kelan mag tago sa lungga. Or they’re like dogs? pag anjan amo, lapit ng lapit pero pag wala chill lang sa gedli. I expected them to be like cats na walang pake or like any other animals na they're going about their day and you watch them do it.

They felt like trained to entertain. Pag isa or two people, walang pake. The more people standing malapit, the more nagpapa bibo. Luma langoy, lumalapit sa glass. Mas lalo ng pabibo kong kids naka tingin. Pag walang tao, retreat and back to standing don sa lungga. Idk much about penguins. Sila first penguin encounter ko. Or they're just as curious satin like how curious we are to them?

How can they survive the init? their tank don’t look that cold and the glass isn’t cold when touched. We theorized those were penguins bred in captive (zoo) in the tropics kaya baseline nila ng home environment ang naka sanayan. Or were those galapagos penguins? (google said galapagos penguins are specific breeds sanay sa init)

I have so many questions. Kaso walang brochure or random trivia naka paskil inside the cafe. I expected it to be educational instead of purely ornamental, kasi yon lang naman unique selling point nong cafe? the menu is meh

Space is too small din. Do they get freed in a bigger space “off duty?” Happy to be educated.

pwede ba maiwasan ang lagkit sa hangin maliban sa consistent maligo? pano maiwasan ang kalawang to most things? do i have to wory about kalawang sa pc? camera? gamit sa bahay? hindi naman directly facing the sea, may mataas na bakod naman. what to keep in mind lalo na mga small things people overlook?
