Pinoy Torch bearer ranks 3
2007-10-12 17:16:00
Yesterday, I asked Jehzeel to do a last minute campaign in gathering votes for Marcos Antonio Torres who's vying for the privilege of carrying the Olympics torch towards the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China. The deadline for voting is on Sunday, October 14.When I checked the voting page this evening, I was shocked that the votes reached 8,100. As of the latest count, Marcos rank 3 among the hundreds who made their attempts. We are just a few thousands away from the American expat who ranks first. I have high hopes that we can make it to the top.Do your part now. It's not yet too late. Vote our fellow FILIPINO.CLICK HERE TO VOTE FOR MARCOS ANTONIO TORRES» Subscribe to Batang Yagit's Posts» Follow Batang Yagit on TwitterBatang Yagit

Print Screen Meme
2007-10-12 13:23:00
I have not answered a meme in ages. Jehzeel tagged me for this meme few weeks ago. This purpose of this meme is to show a print screen of the tagged person's desktop.There's nothing interesting that can be seen on my desktop. I have this modified wallaper, cracked windows theme and a messy start menu. Desktop icons? nah. I prefer a clean desktop.The Meme Rules:My Desktop Free View Instruction: A. Upon receiving this tag, immediately perform a screen capture of your desktop. It is best that no icons be deleted before the screen capture so as to add to the element of fun. You can do a screen capture by: [1] Going to your desktop and pressing the Print Scrn key (located on the right side of the F12 key). [2] Open a graphics program (like Picture Manager, Paint, or Photoshop) and do a Paste (CTRL + V). [3] If you wish, you can “edit” the image, before saving it. B. Post the picture in your blog. You can also give a short explanation on the look of your desktop just below it...

How to maximize the use of your Casio 991MS Calculator
2007-10-08 03:27:00
As engineering students, part of our i-use-everyday-stuff is the calculator. You'd surely fail if you don't have one. But sometimes, getting bored in class is inevitable. One must find ways to dig some fun during classes.We have deviced several tricks how you could maximize the use of your Casio 991MS calculator in a fun way.The Number GameYou can use the Random Number feature of the calculator to generate random number. By multiplying the random number by 10 and setting FIX parameter to 0, we can get a single-digit whole number which we can use for a number guessing game.You can increase the number of output digits by increasing the number of zeros in the multiplier.The Betting GameOhhh.. this one's not good but we're looking at it as a possibility. You can use the technique I mentioned above and do some slight modifications. Let's say, the person who get a bigger output gets the pot.Hahaha. nah! You can't possibly do this while having classes.The Fastest FingerThis game ...

It has been a while since the last time I made a post on this blog. I've been very busy in school these days that I can't find time to make a post.

Laong Laan
2007-10-01 15:25:00
Few of you might have wondered of the sudden blog identity crisis of BatangYagit.com this afternoon. I changed my profile and title from Batang Yagit to Laong Laan.A friend, who's making a project for her Mass Communication course, asked me if she could use my blog for her film. The film is about a lonely person named Laong Laan. A part of the film is wherein Laong Laan's friend opened Laong Laan's blog (Batang Yagit's blog). That's the reason behind that I am too much alone in this world post.Yes, the poem was nice but i'm not in the mood of getting emo. I didn't write the poem either. The author's name was written right after the poem. Hehehhee. There's only one poem I could remember that I wrote for the past 10 years of my life.

I am Much Too Alone in this World
2007-10-01 05:39:00
I am much too alone in this world, yet not alone enoughto truly consecrate the hour.I am much too small in this world, yet not small enoughto be to you just object and thing,dark and smart.I want my free will and want it accompanyingthe path which leads to action;and want during times that beg questions,where something is up,to be among those in the know,or else be alone.I want to mirror your image to its fullest perfection,never be blind or too oldto uphold your weighty wavering reflection.I want to unfold.Nowhere I wish to stay crooked, bent;for there I would be dishonest, untrue.I want my conscience to betrue before you;want to describe myself like a picture I observedfor a long time, one close up,like a new word I learned and embraced,like the everday jug,like my mother's face,like a ship that carried me alongthrough the deadliest storm.Poem by: Rilke, Rainer Maria» Subscribe to Batang Yagit's Posts» Follow Batang Yagit on TwitterBatang Yagit

Buh-bay wrinkles
2007-09-30 13:29:00
Injections of botox in San Diego are becoming famous these days. I tried doing a Google search for that phrase and 189,000 results were returned. I have heard of "botox" a lot of times before. It was even used in one of the cartoon shows that I saw (I forgot what it was) where it was called BatOx.What is Botox?A neurotoxin which, when used in very low doses, relaxes or temporarily paralyzes the contractive muscles which cause frown lines. Treatment is non-surgical in the form of injections which smooth deep persistent lines between brows or in the forehead. Botox paralyzes facial muscles, while Puragen fills in the space beneath wrinkles. Each acts in a different way, but may be used to complement each other.Basically, based on how I understand it, botox eliminates unwated wrinkles for aging people. Is is safe for the patient's health? That, I'm not sure.To learn more, you may check this FAQ.» Subscribe to Batang Yagit's Posts» Follow Batang Yagit on TwitterBatang Yagit

Tattoo, never
2007-09-30 03:52:00
A design I found from the star tattoos gallery.While browsing the internet, i found this tattoo gallery where they feature different tattoo designs. When I was a kid, I heard that one of my uncle in Mati was scolded because he was discovered having a tattoo on his back. That was the time that "having a tattoo is bad" was instilled on my mind.Aside from that, I also heard rumors that people with tattoos musthave been from prison. Of course, I don't people to mistake me as an ex-convict. They also say that people with tattoo might not be able to donate blood because they're blood is not good. (Probably because of the ink). Well I'm not sure with that but still, even if I have no tattoos on, I won't be donating blood anyway.Lastly, they said that the you won't be able to have your VISA (for whatever country you want to go) approved if they find out that you have a tattoo. Of course I don't want to have tattoo as a reason why I can't travel abroad.I don't know if these rum...

An Open Letter to Yahoo! Mail
2007-09-29 18:16:00
Dear Yahoo ! Mail ,I've been been a registered user of Yahoo since I was in first year high school. I was still an internet newbie back then. I was so amazed how e-mails work and how I could possible send a message to the other part of the world in seconds.I was also fascinated on how you broke the old ways of sending messages. From hand written letters to plain electronic texts, you introduced multimedia in e-mails. I was one of those Yahoo Greetings fanatics. Everytime I go online, for no particular reason that I can remember, I usually check Yahoo Greetings for new electronic greeting cards. And whenever I find something new, I immediately send it to my few friends who has a Yahoo Email account.E-mail in those days, as I remember, is usually associated with you. All of my friends use Yahoo mail in e-mails. The storage capacity was not even a problem back then. I was contented with the 6MB e-mail inbox capacity you have provided me. I even thought it was too much. I usual...

Kalasag deadline is Today!
2007-09-29 04:45:00
A lot of people were sending sms to me since last night. They were asking for deadline extensions. The subscription deadline was scheduled today. Unlike in other universities, Kalasag, the official yearbook of Ateneo de Davao University, implements a March-release policy in the yearbook-making process. Also, unlike with other schools, Kalasag requires students to pay the subscription fee before their profile gets published in the yearbook. Most schools publish the students profile regardless if they pay or not. Also, payment in other schools are from solicitations. Since Ateneans are not religious in soliciting for advertisers, Kalasag make it to a point that solicitations are optional.Since the policy that only those students who have subscribed are the ones to be included in the yearbook, a lot of students who have not paid are cramming their way to the finance office today. These students are afraid that they won't get published in this year's yearbook. Thus, they are a...

Cousin Matt's Christening this Sunday
2007-09-28 06:14:00
My 9-month old cousin Matthew is going to be Baptized this Sunday . It will be at St. Francis of Assisi in Ma-a, Davao City. His older sister Krisha was also baptized in St. Francis.Months before, my Tita was asking me if I could be Matt's Godfather. I declined her offer. If that'd be the case, I'll be obliged to buy three sets of gifts. One for Matt and two for her two older sisters. It would be unfair if I'd only give gifts to Matt alone. So to make things fair, for me and for my cousins, I declined my Tita's offer. Hahahaha... I'm just trying to escape the responsibilities she's trying to push on me.Matt, at nine months, already have his two front teeth. He can slowly walk now. We're wondering what other talents he has. He might be the next Mayor of Davao City or maybe another good political figure like George Lindemann. Who knows?» Subscribe to Batang Yagit's Posts» Follow Batang Yagit on TwitterBatang Yagit

Twins or no twins
2007-09-27 17:33:00
These two girls are not twins. They are not sisters. They are not related by blood either. Most of all, they have only met once.The girl on the right is one of my colleagues in Kalasag. She's one of our Literary and Text Editors. The other girl, the one on the left, is an applicant for Awitenista Production Staff.We were amazed when the girl, Kay, went to our office. Kamukhang-kamukha sila ni Kim. If i didn't know better, I think she had plastic surgery, just like the ones on Texas cosmetic surgery, thats why they look so alike.I did not miss the chance of taking a picture. Until now, I'm still amazed that Kim has an "identical" twin in the campus.» Subscribe to Batang Yagit's Posts» Follow Batang Yagit on TwitterBatang Yagit

I already got my renewed passport

Last week, I went to the office of the Department of Foreign Affairs to renew my passport which is going to expire this October. I was able to claim the new passport this afternoon. I noticed that they made several changes in the passport layout and content. Hmmm... the one that I had five years ago has no barcode. The photo and passport data are now placed on the first page. It was on the back of the front cover before.One thing I noticed under my Limitations isNot Valid for Travel to IraqHahahaha... It's so funny. I have no intentions of going to Iraq. I would rather have a facelift Chicago than a experience war and terrorism in Iraq.Anyway, I was amazed this time that the process did not stress me.

But this time, I only submitted the application form and the photos, paid the fees and waited for a week. The queue was not that much either. Best of ...

October is coming near and a lot of things are feared. No, I'm not talking about Halloween.We have been very busy with school work these past few weeks. Every now and then, teachers would give us projects and assignments to work with. I'm not talking about major subjects alone but the minor subjects also. I even posted on my blog an assignment in Philosophy 106.The second week of October is our exam week but we might not be able to concentrate on it much. We still have lots of projects to work on, and papers to write. I'm just glad that October is Octobeer month. My friends were talking about bar hopping after our projects and exams. I guess it won't be bad at all if I go with these guys. I've been dying to see places similar to the San Diego bars. I hope we can find one. » Subscribe to Batang Yagit's Posts» Follow Batang Yagit on TwitterBatang Yagit

I was faced by this question. This is the final requirement for our Philosophy 106 Class (Philosophy of Religion). Do I need God in order to be good?Do we really need Him for us to be good? Is His absence in our life makes us bad? If a person does not share his beliefs in God, does it mean he did not live a good moral life?Please help me uncover the answers to this philosophical question.

iPhone sold in NCCC
2007-09-23 15:01:00
Yeah, I saw an iPhone in one of the mobile phone shops in NCCC Mall tonight. I was looking for the new models of iPod and i happened to come across the iPhone box. I thought it's one of those Chinese clones sold here but the packaging does not say so.I deliberately asked the guy inside the store if it's original. He said it's original, open-line and it's sold at 55k. Check the picture below. If you have doubts, check it at the 3rd floor of the NCCC Mall (Ma-a, Davao City). I'm not sure about it either.

Support the Pinoy Torchbearer for 2008 Beijing Olympics
2007-09-23 01:17:00
As I was browsing my feeds this morning, I found this very interesting feed from Pinoy Ambisyoso. It says let's make miracle for the pinoy torchbearer in 2008 Beijing Olympics . That's when my curiosity aroused. First, I had no idea that the 2008 Olympics will be in Beijing. Second, I did not know the selection process for the Olympic torchbearer. Lastly, I got intrigued by the "Let's make miracle...." line.Reading through the pinoy torchbearer's voting page, I realized that he really need his country's support.Let us support our fellow Filipino, Marcos Antonio Torres, who is vying for the privilege of carrying the Olympics torch towards the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. You can vote here.As of the moment, a Colombian national is already a few thousand votes ahead. Let us do our part as Filipinos. I believe that an internet campaign would be very effective.

Ang kwento bago ang Batang Yagit

Noong nakaraang gabi, habang naglalakad ako sa kahabaan ng Ilustre, nakasalubong ko ang dati kong schoolmate, si Ate Divine. Ahead siya ng isang taon sa akin sa high school. Siya ang una kong naging kaibigan sa klase nila. Kung minsan, sabay kaming umuuwi kasi malapit lang naman ang bahay nila sa amin.Noong mag-college na siya, wala na kaming naging communication. Minsan na lang din kami kung magkita. Kahit text wala rin. Graduate siya ng nursing sa isang sikat na nursing school sa Davao. Lisensyado na rin ito. Kasalukuyan siyang nagrereview para sa NCLEX. Nasabi niya rin na interisado siyang lumabas ng bansa para magtrabaho kaya siya kumukuha ng NCLEX.Noong high school kami, bininyagan niya ako ng palayaw na "Fetus". Ito ang naging pseudo ko sa mga kaibigan at kakilala lalong lalo na sa mga ka-batch ni Ate Divine. Nagsimula ito noong high school kami. Science camp noon, facilitator ako. Ako ang pinakabata sa mga facilitator. Nasa 2nd year ata ako noon. Maliit pa at patpati...

Food Trip: Tatuts Fastfood

I've seen this restaurant (or more of a fastfood) a couple of times while passing the Ilustre area. TATUTS Fastfood , which is located at Governor Duterte Street and fronting Shakey's Pizza, displays a theme which can make its guests feel at home. The restaurant location used to belong to Abe's where I used to eat hot thai food. Most of dishes served here are Filipino dishes. They also have different varieties of noodle dishes. (Palabok, malabon, canton, etc.)The restaurant's interiors.Since I badly need food, I happen to pass by TATUTS and decided to have my dinner here. I was their last customer for the day. Upon entering the restaurant, I saw a spring chicken poster beside their door. Since it was the first thing that I saw, I deliberately ordered a half spring chicken. It was a bit expensive (compared to the other local restaurants in the city) but it was fulfilling. The chicken maintained its tenderness and juiciness. The taste is similar to home-cooked fried chicken...

I've been working out at the gym for three weeks now. Most often, I go to the gym during peak hours because it's the only time where I got no class. Nothing much have changed on my physique but changes can be noticed inside the gym. For three weeks, we have seen new gym enrollees entering the gym everyday. We get to see more or less two enrollees being oriented on the gym facilities everyday. It's my habit to always take a shower after my 2-hour workout. But this evening, I didn't have the chance to do so. The male locker room was so crowded that there were still few people waiting to take their turn outside the shower cubicles. I didn't want to wait and I immediately left. I was not the only person who noticed the increase of people enrolled in the gym. My friend, Henelsie, said that she noticed it too.

Ilang araw lang akong nawala sa school, anadami nang nangyari. Exciting talaga tong year na to. Pagkatapos magkaroon ng wanted na mga studyante, eto totohanang wanted na.Isang 17-taong gulang na estudyante ang sinaksak ng kapwa studyante sa loob ng school namin. Alitan sa pag-ibig ang naging dahilan kung bakit nangyari ang saksakang ito. Sinugod ng mag-nobyo (ang biktima) ang isang babae (ang sumaksak at fling ng lalaki) sa kanilang classroom. Ayon sa mga sabi-sabi, si fling ay pinagseselosan ng biktima dahil sa malimit nitong pagtetext kay lalaki. Itinanggi ito ni lalaki. Ang sabi ni lalaki, si fling ang naghahabol sa kanya (hindi kagwapuhan si lalaki). Nung magkaharapan na, ayon sa nakakita, nagsabunutan raw ang dalawang babae sa loob ng classroom. Sa halip na awatin ito ng lalaki, sinuntok at binanatan niya ang kanyang fling. Ito ang nag-udyok kay fling upang kumuha ng swiss knife at isinaksak niya ito sa biktima.
