This was my last song syndrome yesterday. I heard this song when it was played on the radio while I was on my way to school. I really didn't pay attention to the lyrics but the song is FUNNY. I tried looking for the song in the internet, and I found this.The lyrics can be found here.» Subscribe to Batang Yagit's Posts» Follow Batang Yagit on TwitterBatang Yagit

Anong pinagkakaabalahan ni Batang Yagit?
2007-12-02 09:44:00
Mula noong umakyat kami ng mountains, wala na akong nagawang post. Medyo nagiging busy si Bata ng Yagit sa kanyang online at offline life. Anu-ano nga ba ang mga pinagkakaabalahan ni Batang Yagit nitong mga nakaraang araw?Debut ni NemiaIto na ata ang pinaka-effort na debut na dinaluhan ko. Maraming preparations na ginawa, hindi lang ni Nemia, pati rin nga mga dumalo. Masaya kasi si Nemia, as of the latest, ang natatanging Kalasag sa batch namin na nag-debut.Medyo cramming ang nangyari. Pagkatapos nung pag-akyat namin sa kabundukan ng Calinan, agad-agad kaming umuwi para magbihis dahil late na late na late na kami sa debut.Buti naman at hindi agaw-pansin ang pagdating namin. In general, masaya ang debut.Photoshoot sa KalyePart two ito ng photoshoot trilogy ng Kalasag. Kung noong una eh city scape pictorial ang ginawa namin, this time naman, staff pictorial sa kalye. Para san ang photoshoot na 'to? Well, yung theme ng yearbook sa taong ito ay Urban. Kaya kailangan naming kumuha ...

How to open an online store.
2007-12-02 07:58:00
The term e-commerce has never been new to most of us. We've been hearing this term since the day we got used to the internet. E-commerce is defined as the buying, selling and exchange of goods and services through a computer network such as the internet. Examples of popular e-commerce websites are eBay and Amazon for the international market. We also have Davao Sales and Davao Exchange here in Davao City.But a lot of us are seeking for opportunities in the internet. We apply to a lot of programs which offers quick way to earn money. But how much effort we exert, we can't match up with the earnings these e-commerce websites get from their business. Thus, the idea of putting up our own e-commerce websites comes into our minds. But how do we start an e-commerce website?First, an e-commerce website would generally need a shopping cart software installed. Ashop Commerce is an example of a software which gives your website the ecommerce software gurantees 99.98% uptime and back-u...

Going to the bundoks of Calinan
2007-11-25 04:48:00
Yesterday, we, together with my colleagues in Kalasag, went to Calinan District to attend Kuya Ayan's thanksgiving lunch for passing the November 2007 Electronics Engineering Licensure Examination of the PRC.Calinan is just one of the few rural districts in Davao City. It's located at the northern part of city. It's about an hour ride from the metro. We took the bus in going to Kuya Ayan's place.We arrived at our destination just in time for lunch. After having lunch, we went to the hills. It's a few minute walk from their house. The climb up the hill reminded me of our climb in one of the hills in Camiguin during our trip there last summer.After climbing hills, we went back downtown since we were running out of time for an engagement we are attending.We arrived downtown around 6p.m and we're already an hour late for our 5p.m. appointment, which is Nemia's debut.» Subscribe to Batang Yagit's Posts» Follow Batang Yagit on TwitterBatang Yagit

I'll take making money seriously
2007-11-21 09:19:00
I badly need money. Not for my daily needs, but for the coming months I guess. I was contemplating on how I will survive my first 6-months away from home study this coming April. I'm aware that being away from home brings a lot of financial struggles. It's better to expect something like that would happen to me while I'm having my review.For a start, I registered to a few money earning communities in the web. First, I registered for the Dollar Pays. Dollar Pays pay you to sign up for programs, fill out survey forms and avail advertiser offers. I'm not earning from Dollar pay yet so I can't assure a good income from this program.Another program I applied was Bux.to. It's an advertising company. They pay their users to view the websites of the advertisers for 30s. The user earns $0.01 for every 30s view of a site. It's not bad especially if you are a frequent internet surfer.I also activated or rather checked my TLA account. My account was approved few months ago but I n...

I'm taking Bio Med this semester
2007-11-18 18:04:00
Electronics and Communications Engineering is one of the few courses in the Engineering Division which offers Elective Subjects in the last three semesters of the 5-year course. The last year's elective was Biomedical Engineering. Everyone thought that the subject will turn out right, yet, none of the students who took the course felt its importance or significance to the career we were trying to pursue.Biomedical engineering, in the engineering's point of view, is the field of engineering which specializes in the design and development of systems, gadgets, tools and other equipments which can be of great help in the medical field, whether for research or for treatment. Good examples of these medical applications designed by us 'engineers' are the tools being used in Miami plastic surgery.Last semester, before taking the subject, we tried to evaluate things. Our class have considered this as a very delicate subject. A subject which needs a lot of knowledge in Biology and Medi...

Working at night, taking the shots
2007-11-18 17:47:00
I'm not referring to liquor shots. Not the ones sold in San Diego entertainment clubs.Last night, I was out with some of my colleagues for a photo shoot. The subject of our photo shoot is Urban at night. All the shots were taken in the streets. We went from the streets around Marco Polo to the landmarks in San Pedro. We were also able to take some shots from the construction site of the soon to rise condominium near the SM mall. The last shoot we made was at the Airport Road in Buhangin.It's such an ironic thing to see that a busy metro at day would be a deserted city at night. The usual noisy streets is deafening in silence. But a different beauty arises in the dark. The lights give a tranquil environment to the city.Street children, even at night, were still playing in the streets. The little gamblers doesn't seem to feel tired of what they were doing. I wondered if the kids have a home awaiting for them.That photo shoot was a tough job. We started 8 p.m and ended up at ...

Finding a new car at San Diego
2007-11-18 16:55:00
I might be one of those college kids who dreamed of having their own car. Considering my daily allowance and the cost, having a car is not a possibility. Good news for those who live in San Diego though, San Diego Toyota Dealers are selling used cars for those who are tight in budget like me. They have the widest selection of Toyota cars. This is the best way one can grab that pre-owned car purchase plan.I just hope the cars sold here are as cheap as the one sold in San Diego.» Subscribe to Batang Yagit's Posts» Follow Batang Yagit on TwitterBatang Yagit

Teens can make money too
2007-11-17 20:05:00
A lot of people are now engaged in monetizing their blogs. Who would not bite the deal? You are earning while doing your hobby.A couple of months ago, I enrolled in this pay per post program. They pay is not that much but it's decent though. The advertiser sends us link assignments once or twice a month. So far, BatangYagit.com has already received its second link assignment since the time this blog was enrolled in that program.The difficult part of sponsored posts is the idea that the author should strictly follow the anchor texts of the links assigned to be posted, regardless if it's grammatically right or not. I have encountered several instances wherein there is a strong urge in me to change the anchor text because it does not sound right. But if I change the text, I won't get paid for that.Another difficulty which I encountered is the relevance of the anchor texts to the niche of my blog. Some of you might have noticed in my previous posts on how I mentioned plastic su...

Another fastfood abroad
2007-11-16 18:57:00
Yet another fastfood chain that I've been to in Borneo. This shot was from a Jollibee branch in Gadong, Brunei. I mentioned before that the foods being sold in this Jollibee branch are very expensive, relative to those sold in the Philippines.If you might be thinking that only Filipinos come to eat in this fast food, well you are wrong. Most of the people that were at the restaurant when I came are Brunei people. (It's awkward to say Bruneian or Bruneese or Brunian. Hehehe.. I don't know which term to address people from Brunei is more appropriate.) Some of the crews are Filipinos, even the manager too.Some Jollibee restaurants here in Davao offer free wifi access. So i tried my luck on searching for a free hotspot. I noticed most of the available wifi hotspots near the area was similar to that of Globe's globeWiz. Since I'm not interested in paying for my internet, I decided not to push my luck further.If the food's taste is in question, there's not much difference as ...

Lattice Lacing on my Denim Chucks
2007-11-14 07:25:00
Last Sunday, I searched from google the keywords "How to tie a shoe lace". Pretty noob right? Hehehe.The first site in google's list is Ian's Shoelace Site. I was able to look into several samples posted in his site. The site also offers several tutorials on how to tie your shoe lace.I was looking for some cool way to tie the lace of my shoes. I ended up with his tutorial on Lattice Lacing. The tutorial is very easy to follow. Illustrations are also available. I didn't even read the instructions. The illustrations are clear and easy enough to be understood.Aside from the tutorials, his site also features a gallery of different shoes tied in different ways. The samples varies from different brands, styles, and colors. You can also combine different lacing techniques.Noob it may seem but the results are very cool. I'll try another variation next time.» Subscribe to Batang Yagit's Posts» Follow Batang Yagit on TwitterBatang Yagit

Abala sa pag-aayos ng buhok
2007-11-13 16:59:00
Kakarating ko lang ng bahay at buhok agad ang inatupag ko. Nagpagupit ako kanina sa mall at medyo bago ang style ng buhok ko. Medyo matagal na rin akong hindi gumagamit ng gel, wax at gum sa pag-aayos ng buhok ko. Sa loob ng dalawang taon, yung tipong suklay lang eh ayos na ayos na.Medyo manipis ang buhok kaya nagkakaroon ako ng problema tuwing iniiklian ang haba ng buhok ko. Bumabagsak ito at mahirap ayusin. Napansin naman agad ito ng taga-gupit. Kaya nilagyan niya ng kaunting "texture" ang buhok ko. Ang ibig sabihin, may ginawa siyang hokus pokus para magmukhang makapal ang buhok ko. Pagkatapos gupitan, tinuruan niya ako kung pano ayusing ang buhok ko. Gumamit siya ng hair gum sa pag-aayos.Pagkatapos kong magpagupit, pumunta agad ako sa Watson's para bumili ng hair gum. At dahil tig-1,100.00 pesos ang ginamit niyang hair gum sa buhok ko, at dahil wala akong balak na bumili ng ganoong kamahal ng pampaarte ng buhok, hair wax na lang ang kinuha ko.At dahil excited, pagkagaling...

Ang Paboritong Pantalon ni Batang Yagit
2007-11-12 14:46:00
Ito ang paborito kong pantalon. Kung naaalala ko ng tama, binili ko ang pantalong ito mga tatlo o apat na taon na ang nakakalipas. Size 31 ang waistline at medyo loose ang fit. May rusty at faded design yung harap.Paborito kong gamitin ang maong na 'to. Mga isa o dalawang beses kong ginagamit ito sa isang linggo. Pero nung mga nakaraang buwan, medyo hindi ko na nagagamit kasi nagkaroon ng punit sa bandang tuhod ng kaliwang paa.Nasira 'to nung summer nang mag-practicum ako sa Coca-cola. Hindi ko maalala kung pano pero sobrang gamit na gamit ang pantalong ito sa trabaho. Marahil kaya ito nasira.Kahit na may punit na ito, sinusuot ko pa rin siya. Hindi nga lang sa eskwela kasi bawal magsuot ng pantalong may punit.Talaga namang nagmumukha akong Batang Yagit tuwing suot ko ang pantalong ito. Pero pag may nagtatanong, sinasabi ko na lang na 'style' yan. Hehehe. Palusot ano?Update:Naalala ko tuloy ang mga Sulating Pangwakas ko noong nasa elementary pa lang ako. Ka-level ng Ang Pa...

Ayoko nang kumain sa Jollibee Bajada kasi marumi
2007-11-10 04:38:00
Isa ako sa mga tao na loyalistang McDonald's. Minsan lang ako napapadpad sa Jollibee . Yung mga minsan na hindi ako ang nagbabayad or kung hindi eh wala akong choice.Pagkaalis ko ng gym kagabi, pagod at gutom, dumeretso ako ng J.P. Laurel para humanap ng makakainan. Yung unang nasa isip ko, sa Mcdo ako kakain. Pero napag-isip-isip ko rin na medyo nagsasawa na rin ako sa Mcdo. At dahil malapit lang ang Jollibee sa Mcdonald's, napagdesisyunan kong kakain na lang ako ng Burger Steak meal sa Jollibee (Hotdog at Burger Steak lang ang kinakaya kong masikmurang kainin sa Jollibee).Madali lang yung pag-order ko ng Burger Steak. Hindi natagalan. Hindi na rin nila ako binigyan ng number. At dahil dine-in, stainless steel spoon and fork ang gagamitin. Kumuha ako sa sterilizer nila. Nagtaka ako dahil walang lamang hot water ang sterlizer nila.Nung makaakyat na ako sa second floor at inumpisahang kumain, bago ko pa nagamit ang tinidor, napansin kong may mga bahid ng kanin ang hinahawakan ...

On spamming and how to control it
2007-11-05 10:54:00
My friend Jehz was fired up with lots of spam comments in his blog. Just a while ago, my friend posted his own article on How to stop Blogspot Spammers?.The solution he suggested was to TURN ON the Comment Moderation feature of Blogger. Yeah, this one is helpful but there is one more better solution he missed. Blogger is equiped with a Word Verification feature for comment postings. This gives added security in preventing spam messages from coming in. I would also like to congratulate him for migrating from the old blogger to blogger 2. His blog looks better than it was before. :PPeace Jehz.» Subscribe to Batang Yagit's Posts» Follow Batang Yagit on TwitterBatang Yagit

Batang Yagit conquers Brunei
2007-11-02 02:22:00
Is this street named after the brother of Julia Roberts? Maybe not.This is just one of the few street names that can be found in Brunei . Jalan is a Malay word which means street in the English language.During my short stay in Negara Brunei Darrusalam, I learned a few things about the country. Brunei was once under the British Protectorate. It's a small but powerful country. The population of Brunei won't even reach a million.Unlike in Manila, Brunei has an organized road and traffic system. I'm impressed on how disciplined the drivers in Brunei are. Similar to other Asian countries, Brunei's vehicles employ a right hand drive system. I was having some difficulty in crossing streets 'coz I get confused on which part of the road to look first. Hehehehe.Stuffs in Brunei are expensive. While I was exploring their mall, my hand was doing the conversion. The prices in Brunei are almost twice as that of in Malaysia.I'm supposed to go back to Brunei this Saturday but I opted no...

I've been away from home for a couple of days now. A day after the summit, I left home. Huhuhuhu... now I'm a lonely vagabond. Toink!It's my second time to leave the country. Exciting! Hahahha. When I arrive in Manila, I had to wait for Jehzeel kasi nasa kanya ang ticket ko for Clark. After waiting for Jehz, we both went to Mall of Asia to have our breakfast. An hour of eating and chit-chats. Pinapa-inggit ko siya of stories from the previous day's event, MBS1. He also gave me half the sheet of Google stickers Ate Aileen gave him.After we had our breakfast, he accompanied me to the terminal for the bus that would bring me to Clark. It's my first time to travel in Luzon using public transport. I've been to places outside Manila but this time, it is completely different. I am very grateful to the two ladies I met in the bus. They were so nice to accompany me on our way to Clark. They're bound for Singapore kaya I felt a little confident since we're headed for the same ai...
