Yagit is now an Engineer
November 5, 2008
The longest week of my life happened last week. It was Saturday and Sunday when we took our licensure examination for ECE at South Western University in Cebu. All of the things I studied in the past 5 years of my life were compressed into two days of four-subject examination. I can say that the exam is very unfair. I know I know a lot things but the examination does not cover it all. (darn those examiners)
Waiting for the result of the exam is even worse than taking the exam itself. As we near the release date, most of us are becoming anxious. Tension is starting to build up. Most of us are nervous. Everytime a cellphone rings, our hearts start to panic. The days after the board exam were hell for us.

Blog Action Day Post: Stopping Poverty
October 15, 2008
While I was waiting in SM for my Smart Gold Lite application to be approved last week, I happened to pass by a familiar booth inside the mall. I’ve seen them a couple of times in Ayala, few months ago, but I never paid much attention. But I know them. I have read about them on the papers they were giving to the passers by.

Priceless Photos: Cellphone Casing
October 14, 2008
Here’s a set of priceless photos (inspired by Himantayon). I went into this cellphone accessory shop in town to get some protective casing for my Nokia N82. While browsing their huge collection of cellphone accessories, I came across this row of crystal casings for Nokia cellphones. Please see photos below:

Da Vinci’s Pizza in Cebu
October 6, 2008
After the two consecutive days of taking the review center’s diagnostic examination, my clique decided to treat ourselves with a scrumptious meal. It was decided that we’ll have dinner at Sbarro in Ayala Center Cebu. But Starth, a non-pork eater classmate, was hesitant since most of the meat dishes in Sbarro contains pork. She recommended Da Vinci’s Pizza in Osmeña Boulevard (Jones Ave.) since she had tried dining in the resto before. Then it was decided where we’ll have our dinner.
The place is not strange to us anymore since we get to pass Jones every time we go to our review Center. The place is not far from the famous landmark, the Fuente Osmeña Circle. It is situated at the right side of the Crown Regency Tower, just beside Jollibee.

Batang Yagit in PBA ‘08
September 22, 2008 | Author: Winston | Filed under: Contests, Events
Visited 1466 times, 6 so far today
May Batang Yagit na na nanalo ng Award, at ako ang una.
I still can’t find the words to write. It’s almost eight hours now when I came to this quasi utopia state. The sensations I felt hours ago are still fresh. I want to muster the right words to say (or write) but I can’t. All I can think of right at the moment is THANK YOU.
Going back twenty hours before the event, Jehz and I were at home, browsing the internet and checking the progress of the votes for Batang Yagit from technorati. Even at the very last day of the voting period, several people were still able to cast their precious votes. Most of whom are coming from the Visayas and the Mindanao region.
“May Batang Yagit na na nanalo ng Award, at ako ang una.”
Yeah, I got the award. Para akong naka-drugs (feeling ko lang yun ang feeling ng naka-drugs) when Batang Yagit was called for the Bloggers’ Choice Award. Ang saya! My blogging here at BatangYagit.com has paid off, and it was BIG TIME.
What made the award BIGGER was the fact that it was the bloggers who decided on who deserves the award. And I am honored that a lot of these bloggers chose me.
To the winners from the different categories, CONGRATULATIONS!
To the Miss Noemi Dado, Kutitots (Honeybear), Kuya Jayvee, Kuya Juned and the rest of the Organizing Committee and
To all the bloggers who voted, supported and believed in me, I give you my BIG THANK YOU.
To my best bud and Campaign Manager - Jehzeel, the former Campaign Manager - Kuya Andrew, the supportive Nah Nah, Ate Aileen, Ate Ria, Kuya Blogie and Kuya Migs, to the Mindanao and Visayas bloggers, to Aethen, Jemme, Donald, Rome, Jerson, Betsy, Michael, Eligio, Tonex, Noel, Isis, Tiara, Migs, Garry, Judy, Gusher, Woobie, Lloyd, Sherwin, Gilbert, Fendi, Webslave, Jen, Jay, McBilly, Beejing, Eric, Alibata, RJ, Blogie, Andrew, Marwin, Mikko, Ces, Gwen, Ariel, Angel, Jan Alvin, Zaldy, Avel, Paul, Jabbered Onion, Chiq, The Royal Speaker, Suddenly, Ranniel, Sidney, Miguel, Gwing, Litgirl, Romeo, Mike, Allen, Kirby, Flora Mae, Orville, Richer, Richard, http://chuy.i.ph, VJ, Andie, Quoisey, Tanggera, Mo, Chattee, Nidoking, Intiendes, Yatot, Nick, Kevin, Fitz, Fruity Oaty, Mica, and Coy, THANK YOU!
Magpapa-BURGER kami. 
(Check Jehz’ Blog for details. hahaha)
P.S. It was Ate Quoisey who won the Nokia Phone for the Bloggers’ Choice Raffle.

The Phil. Blog Awards is a sham with you winning and so many fave blog! why? look at your blog posting frequency! and do you even get traffic to be said to be popular?! if you do, i dare you to join topblogs.

As if TopBlogs’ traffic tracking is accurate…LOL…and like what Wins said, it’s not about traffic.
If you’re bitter then why didn’t you ask someone to nominate your blog?
Next time, think first before you speak

Funny,
What PBA did is to be a venue where people would be able to send nominations and votes to who they THINK AND FEEL is the best blog.
So the one you are really calling SHAM is actually the people who nominated and voted.
Well, i’m real. And i thought and felt that winston should win the award.
I suggest you take a look at the blogs who voted for winston and see for yourself why he won.

Duh. BatangYagit won the award fair and square. He deserved the win for being the choice of many bloggers in the bloggosphere.
Anong kinalaman ng traffic etc. You sounded bitter.
To Batang Yagit:
Hehe. Wag mo na lang patulan. You deserve the award.

@Funny: It’s a blogger’s choice award that gathers votes by other bloggers. If it’s about site popularity then I would have won it two years straight already.
Don’t ask me to join topblogs or I’ll crash their system.
