Batang Yagit in PBA ‘08
September 22, 2008
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.

Batang Yagit para sa PBA Bloggers’ Choice Award
September 16, 2008
Ako po si Batang Yagit, isang blogger na taga-Mindanao (Davao City). Ako po ay natutuwa sa pagkakapasok ko bilang nominee sa Philippine Blog Awards Bloggers’ Choice Award. Ito ang pangalawang nomination ko para sa PBA 2008.
Noong nakaraang buwan, nakatanggap ako ng email galing sa mga organizers ng PBA na nagsasabing nanominate ang Digital Puto blog ko para sa Photo Blog na category. Mas higit kong ikinagalak nang malaman kong nakapasok ang Batang Yagit sa mga finalist para sa Bloggers’ Choice Award. Yayks. For the Win ang yagit.
Marami rin sa mga kakilala ko ang nakapasok sa nomination. Kung marami lang kaming mga yagit nag nagblo-blog, pakikiusapan ko ang lahat ng yagit sa world na iboto ang mga kakilala ko. Tsk tsk tsk. Pero dahil nag-iisa lang ako, ibibigay ko ang aking boto kay “Batang Yagit”.
“Wala pang yagit na nanalo ng award, sana ako ang una”.

Goodyear Autocare in Mandaue
September 13, 2008
A week before I left for Manila for the WordCamp Philippines 2008 event, I received a call from Ms. Karla Tecson inviting me (and my blogging friends) to attend the launch of Goodyear’s Autocare center in Maguikay, Mandaue City. Because the event fell on a Thursday (August 28, 2008), only three of us (bloggers) responded to the invitation. Present were McBilly, X and me.

Wordcamp Philippines
September 6, 2008
A lot of people were wondering what happened to my blog after becoming idle for a couple of months. I’ve been very busy with my studies in Cebu City that I was not able to find time for my blog. But that didn’t stop me from getting involved with blogging.
Last Thursday, I flew to Manila for the most awaited event, the WordCamp Philippines 2008. Five months ago, we started doing our preparations for the event in Davao and Manila. But I am very glad that the 8-hour event turned out successfully.
Hundreds of Wordpress users and developers attended Southeast Asia’s first WordCamp. The event was graced by the presence of the creator of Wordpress Matt Mullenweg.
The success of WordCamp Philippines 2008 won’t be possible without the collaboration of the members of the organizing team, the sponsors, the blogger and student volunteers.

Diving in Davao

This is part two of my blog series Places to Visit in Davao. In my previous entry, I featured Davao Pearl Farm in Samal where it boasts its blue waters and luxurious cottages.
Another great way to spend your summer is by doing scuba diving activities in few of the many available dive spots in Samal Island, Davao. The island is situated within the Davao Gulf. It takes 15 minutes to an hour to get to the different dive spots. Several commercial agencies offer diving packages for group and individuals.
Samal’s rich marine ecosystem is a haven for scuba divers, underwater photographers and beach lovers. Underneath the enchanted waters of Samal lies the different varieties of hard of soft corals, different species of fishes and other forms of sea life. For adventurous divers, the Dive Spot near the Pearl Farm Resort has a spot with the wrecked ships of the World War II.
The photo on the right features the different dive spots that you can find on Samal Island. (Photo courtesy of Wind and Wave Davao)
For those who do not have knowledge in diving activities, you may also want to try the other water activities like snorkeling, wind surfing and island hopping.
If you are interested of booking for a diving adventure, you may contact Wind and Wave Davao or Davao Scuba Dive Center through their websites.

Based on a little experience and what my diving friends have told me, I’d recommend Wind and Wave.
You should’ve mentioned the coral gardens, Wins! It’s for non-divers like me, but it’s just as awesome a place as any dive site. Imagine the “cityscape” in Finding Nemo, but true to life!
