i’ve decided you’re the authority on present mic so you’ve gotta tell me if genderbent mic (or any mic really) would wear the leather leg warmers and leather shorts

Hello,

As the user 7hz's official authority on bnha's character Present Mic, I regret to inform that Present Mic in any and all universes does not have the ass to pull off leather shorts, however he can and will wear them anyways bc of who he is as a person. And he would wear the leather leg warmers, but only if paired with some black rubber boots/shoes, as this the natural middle ground of his giant rubber boots and actual leather boots. We must remember that try as he might with the rest of his outfit, he quickly and swiftly gives up on all style when it comes to the footwear due to the goofy/clown character factor.

Signed,

scream-mans-friend, authority on all things Present Mic

TRAVEL DIARY | BAGUIO 219

We are down to the last 2 months of 2019 and I am so glad I was able to squeeze in a little trip up North with the B! We are excited to finally escape our daily work routine. It was a great time to visit my brother Choi too, who is currently studying in Baguio.

I booked our hotel via ZENROOMS. (which is now my favorite hotel app! I love how they offer clean, comfortable yet very affordable rooms!) We chose Casa Bel Baguio that only cost us 1810.00php for 2 nights. (I used a 20% promo code too!) You can’t expect much from it as it is very basic though I was surprised that ours included a balcony and a decent parking space. This is probably one of the reasons why we didn’t opt for the prettier options on AirBnB. Madaming mas maganda but it’s either mahirap puntahan or there are no guaranteed parking space. Casa Bel located along Marcos Highway which is 15-20 minutes away from the city proper.

We didn’t visit the other common tourist spots because we’ve been here a few times already. We only went to Camp John Hay just for some photo ops. They do offer a lot of cool adventures but were too lazy (or scared lol) to try any. You can check the list here: https://campjohnhay.com/explore.html

Inside Camp John Hay is a garden called Bell House. We paid an entrance fee of 48php/head.

WHERE TO EAT IN BAGUIO:

ARCA’S YARD

Location: Tiptop, Ambuclao Road, Baguio City

We had our first breakfast in Baguio at this very dreamy cafe called Arca’s Yard. It is located approx. 15-20 minutes from the city proper. It is an old 3-story house converted into a very cozy and homey restaurant. We sat on a table beside a white wooden window where I enjoyed sipping my hot chocolate drink while I appreciate the beautiful view of tall Pine trees swaying outside.

WE ORDERED THE FOLLOWING:

LONGGANISA - (165)

HUNGARIAN SAUSAGE WITH BACON AND GG - (210)

CACAO HOT CHOCOLATE - (75) ugh! this one set the bar up high. I love how authentic it tastes.. it’s perfect for the cold breeze outside.

CREAM OF MUSHROOM - I forgot to take note of the price. The B ordered this one and he really liked it. He said the smooth texture of the soup is very creamy and tasty. It’s like the ingredients melt and dance in his mouth which he really liked.

HODORI KOREAN AND JAPANESE RESTAURANT

Location: Mabini Street | Session Road

I craved for Samgyupsal on our first night in Baguio. This one is located near Session Road so we gave it a try.

390PHP/per person for unlimited meat and serving dishes

You’ll get 4 types of meat: Samgyupsal (Pork Belly) Woosamgyup (Beef Belly) Pork Bulgogi and Beef Bulgogi

They also offer additional serving dishes: (which are also part of the unlimited)

- Shrimp Tempura (which to my surprise doesn’t really taste like one. PLEASE SKIP THIS)

- Fried Chicken

- Seasoned Chicken

- Kimbab

- California Maki _(This together with the Japchae were okay)

- Japchae

*Note that they do offer Korean ice cream but it is no longer part of the unlimited :)

GLENN’S 50′S DINER

Location: 92 Upper General Luna Road**, Corner Brent Road

I honestly have high expectations with this diner as a lot of bloggers have been raving about this. (There is another branch which is only called “50′s Diner” located inside Porta Vaga mall) The B and I arrived there just in time for lunch so we had to wait for about 10 minutes before we got our table. I was expecting it to look close like the Filling Station in Makati but the retro vibes was not really there. Maybe because it was too small and the place was packed with customers when we went there.

WE ORDERED THE FOLLOWING:

GRILLED PORK BELLY - 135PHP (Soft and tender meat. It was good!)

BLT - 1150PHP (The bun was really big! I enjoyed my burger though nothing was really special about it)

CREAM OF MUSHROOM - 60 (This one doesn’t taste home-made. I feel like they used those easy-cook sachets to make this)

STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE - 70 (I am a sucker for Strawberry milkshakes and this one was what I really loved. The combination of milk and strawberry was perfectly blended. It was not too sweet and I find it very affordable for the big glass.

BAGUIO CRAFT BREWERY

Location: Marcos Highway

This is another must-try place in Baguio as it gives a whole new social drinking experience. Too bad we went there during a black out in the area so we were only able to check out the roof top without experiencing the view of the city lights below the building. It was a great experience as it was my first time to try craft beer. How it works is you have to go to the cashier where all the craft beers are located. You may ask for free taste until you find what beer really suits your liking.

We ordered the following:

Lagud - Strawberry Fruit Beer - (180PHP) I played safe and ordered this one. hehe This was actually my brother’s first choice. It was good. It tastes like wine to me!

Kraken - mixed with coffee - (190PHP)

English Man in New York - mixed with caramel - (190PHP)

SIZZLING PLATE

Location: 116 Session Road

The B has been eyeing this the moment we passed Session Road. We could see a lot of people dining in so we finally gave it a try on our 2nd night in Baguio. We were surprised that this restaurant is the same one we see inside SM’s food court. However they do offer bigger serving that still didn’t hurt our pockets.

WE ORDERED THE FOLLOWING:

GRILLED PORKCHOP 

T-BONE STEAK - 240PHP

SALISBURY STEAK - 161PHP

CREAM OF MUSHROOM 

ILI LIKHA ARTISTS VILLAGE

Location: Assumption Rd

You should definitely consider going to this place when you go to Baguio. It’s not your typical food hub as the entire place was built with big trunk of trees. All the pieces made to assemble the food hub are recycled which is really evident if you would walk around the place.While appreciating the crazy aesthetics of the entire place, you could fill in your stomachs from the different food stalls inside. You can order from any of the stalls and they would bring you your food wherever you want to be seated.

We ordered the following: (We ordered these from 3 different merchants but I wasn’t able to take note of each names)

BALBACUA - 75 (I’ve been curious about this too as I’ve read this dish in a lot of other blog post. They said it taste like “pares” which I don’t really eat but I gave it a try anyway... locals, please don’t get mad at me but I feel like matabang siya. :(

RICE - 35 (I ordered one rice because the dish doesn’t include it yet)

BULLET PROOF COFFEE - 110 (Coffee is always a good idea anyway. I loved this!)

PINIKPIKAN - 110 (Here’s another dish we got curious with. It turned out it taste exactly like Tinola hehe masarap!)

ALIGUE RICE WITH BAGNET + 1 STEAMED RICE - 170 (I enjoyed the Aligue rice as it was very tasty and flavorful pero naumay kami with the rich taste so mixed it with steamed rice hehe)

SAGADA COFFEE with 1 free refill - 50

This is a little bridge going to the other side of the food hub. 

you can dine wherever you want!

This one is pretty awesome! They have a small theater designed with wood and trunks. I believe this is where they would invite people and play indie films.

OTHER INFO I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE :)

- Total gas was 2000.00 for an AT Sedan Hyundai Accent (departed from Tandang Sora, Quezon City. 3 days stay. Including city driving)

- Total toll gate was around 1300.00

- Total budget for pasalubong was 600-1200.00 (Dun kayo sa Public Market nila bumili kasi mas mura yung mga pasalubong dun. Mas makakatawad din. Sample pricing: 120php for the big Choco Flakes, 80php for 1 pack of cheese bars, 100php for 7 Fuji Apples, 80php for the Lengua)

- If it’s your first time going to the night market. Only bring a small bag or purse. Expect na sobrang daming tao talaga. They open at 9PM :)
