My Vote goes to South Cotabato Tambayan



Among all the 18 finalists of  2011 Philippine Blog Awards Bloggers’ Choice, there's only one site that I choose to be my choice because I think it deserves to win, and this site is no other than  South Cotabato Tambayan

I’ve seen how this site started, how a hundred visitors grows exponentially into thousands in just a short period of time. What’s the secret? I don’t know, but one thing I’m sure about is that content will always be the king, in other words, a lovable site will be love, a worth visiting site will be visited, again and again – simple as that.

So why is that  South Cotabato Tambayan is lovable and worth visiting? Well, at least for me, South Cotabato Tambayan  is playing a big role on uniting the people of South Cotabato, it serves as a place on the web where South Cotabateneos all over the world could unite online, not only that, South Cotabato Tambayan  helps promote the tourism of the province and  make it known world wide by showcasing various prides of South Cotabato.

Also  South Cotabato Tambayan is always on the top notch on providing fresh information about the events that is taking place on the province, they also exist to inspire other people with the success stories that the South Cotabato Tambayan members shared to everyone.


As to blogging, some of the members of South Cotabato Tambayan  has their own blogs, where they can express their opinions and share their thoughts among the members, they’re exchanging points of views through comments, and I think discussing things about certain issues that might affect our lives is an important act, for we know that communication is necessary  if we want to achieve understanding and peace, that’s why I salute South Cotabato Tambayan for making it possible, for  exerting a noble effort on uniting the South Cotabateneos despite of the differences on cultures,religions,beliefs,political point of views, and a lot more.

I wish they’ll continue what they have started;
more power and long live South Cotabato Tambayan!!!

Flying Next to you



Twitter has been on the online scene for maybe almost 5yrs now, but since then, my curiousity wasn't aroused by the noise made by it. I'm aware that it's a new form of microblogging, where you are limited to 140 characters for every entry or post.

you can follow other's updates(tweets), and also they can follow yours too, and to fully understand how it works, I've decided to create an account, the registration process was easy, you can complete it at the count of 3, just start your counting from negative 30,lol.

I created an account now, but I dont know whom to follow, I'm not realy a big fan of Celebrities, I must admit that some of them are realy entertaining on their screen appearances and also has an interesting life behind the camera.

I will take my time finding these interesting individuals,and if you think you're one of them, then save me the effort of finding you, tell me that you are, and I will fly next to you.

Anyways, I dont realy have an interesting stuffs to share, but then I wont deprive you of your right to follow me. just follow me @blindpipit, feel free to waste a little of your time and effort on following my nonsense tweets -hehehe.

More or less, it's all about my randomly shuffled thoughts, and maybe links to my new blog entries, I know that some tweeple, tweets every single thing that they do, from which side of bed they've rose, to what brand of toothpaste they've used before going back to bed -my laziness can't afford this luxury.

“Valengtinga" -by Juanta Mad




Oh Valengtinga of my heart.
Your face is like a piece of art.
Truly, I’m fascinated by you.
I can tell the whole world, what I feel is true.(owws?)

We’re both single, so nothing is wrong.
To each other, there’s where we belong.
Sorry if I’m sounding so excited.
I just badly need, someone beside me on my bed.(ewww)

My bed? Oh please, don’t get me wrong
I couldn’t just hold, a feeling this strong.
I’m already seeing you, as my lifetime wife.
Whom I can spend the rest of my life.(etchos)

Oh ngayon Valengtinga, tayo na ba?
O baka naman pambobola ko este panunuyo ay kulang pa
Sana naman kahit konti ay bigyan mo ng halaga
Ang tulad ko, na sa pag-ibig ay nagpapaka-tanga.(weh)

Alam mo Valengtinga, mula nang mahalin kita.
Kahit minsan ay di na ko natalo sa DOTA.
Sa bawat laro ko, ay inspirasyon ka.
Kaya eto ubos lagi ang aking pera(bleh)

Mga grado ko’y nagsibagsakan
Mga lelitsuning baboy sa aking pagtatapos, nagpalakpakan
Oh Valengtinga pwede mo ba akong halikan
Upang ma ibsan sakit na aking nararamdaman.(iduy)

Oh Valengtinga nga-a hindi ka gid, gusto sa akun?
Kay bala pobre lang ko, kag indi mangaranon?
Anu gid haw, kaya ta man ka paka-unun
Amu lang galing, bulad sa aga asta panyapun.(note:with extra rice)

Siling nila: “bahala saging basta labing-labing”
Siling ko man: “bahala sila da ah, sila man nagsiling”
Basta kami ni Valengtinga yah, ma dugsing-dugsing
Juk lang Valengtinga, di ka mangakig mata mo gaduling.(times 2 time 2)

Ari ulahi na nga istansa
Sang akon tula para kay Valengtinga
Kaso daw nadulaan na ko sang gana
Ka suplada man abi sa iya, bisan indi gwapa.(pag sure)

Aw kalimot ko, naa pa diay
Kasabot unta si Valengtinga ug bisaya bai
Basig dili ug iya lang ning ilabai
Awtz pastilan, kasakit pero di jud ko mag pakamatay(kaw gud)

Oi Valengtinga, asa naman ka?
Nganung ako’y imong gikalimtan na?
Wala kay load noh, pasahan tika?
Pag-text pud oi kay imong sutor nagu-ol raba(atik)

Mao na jud ning ulihi na estansa
Kung dili jud ka naku Valengtinga, pasagdan tika
Basta pirme lang huna-huna-a
Nga naay usa ka tanga, sa imo nag-higugma(pareha man gud ta)

Updating my Kwaderotebook



Kwadernotebook, that's the name of my Rarely Updated Online Journal(blog), I named it Kwadernotebook because my entries are writen in Filipino and English, kwaderno is the tagalog term of notebook, and notebook is the english translation of kwaderno. kuha mo? lol...

Just now(as of this writing), I decided to change my blog's description, from "rarely updated online journal", to "regularly updated boring blog" lol. I'm aware that sometimes I love to write, only sometimes, and when is that? uhmmm.... Monday-Sunday, just guess the day, yes day, not days, which in short means, only once a week.

My blog's updates are not only about the entries or posts, I'm also considering putting facebook comment box under each entry, so that FB people can easily express their creepy reactions about my posts in the form of comments, of course the like button will be there too, just incase the readers are pleased and they would like to show their appriciation by excerting extra effort on clicking the like button.

It's also good to categorize my entries, so that my site's visitors can easily browse my posts by topic or by category, maybe my posts will be divided into two major categories, the nonsense posts and the senseless entries, hehe.

what else? ok, my site's theme, or template design. I'm still debating within myself about this thing, My lazy side wants this current template to be permanent, but my other self wants to have a seasonal design changes, like green hearts design every February, Green Coffin every November, Green snowflakes every December and more as long as it's green, lol. well, we will see if who will win the debate.

lastly, this blog is certified adsfree, no annoying pop-ups and decieving links.

So enjoey your stay, if you're not enjoeying... ...then stay... ...away. lol :)

PSP: Prodigal Student’s Props




In my more than 5 years in college, these two objects were used to be my study buddies, with their help, learning was become less boring, and more interesting. –and I was just joking with that statement. Lol.

These two objects, the pen and notebook was nothing but a mere props, they doesn’t really served their true purpose, and why is that? It simply because I didn’t allowed them.

These stuffs are supposed to be use on taking down notes, with regards to the lessons I’m studying, but they are not what they are.

In my last 4semesters(2 school year), I’m just bringing those props to make myself appear like a real student, yes a student that is studying well.

Unfortunately that’s not me, it’s maybe right to say that I was a lost white sheep back then on my school days, but fortunately I’m not alone, some of  my professors deserves the title “Lost Shepherds”  which doesn’t fits well to their executive looking attire.

We maybe all fell on the wrong places, or perhaps the places blindly catched us when were falling, and staying as a lost was a good option, but the best choice is to find our way, way back home? Lol.

Ok, going back to my props, that green faithful notebook of mine, offered me 90 leaves, but after 2years, I was only able to waste 14 pages, why? It’s just I don’t feel comfortable drawing some stupid looking curves(my handwriting) on that clean and green but white pages of my notebook.

And because the rain has already stopped,  I can now stop writing too, I can go out now. Yahoo!!! Killing time is over, I’ve overly killed it already. Hahahaha

Freaking Farmers Friend(The Marathon)




This story is from 3yrs ago, I just remembered things about it when I’m browsing old pictures on my pc ,and saw that picture of a doll on the ricefield(scare crow) –sorry if the picture is not in good quality, it was taken using my old Nokia 3110c cellphone's camera, and I believe I zoomed it, that’s why the picture was blurry.

The highlight of that day was not about that Doll nor the rice field, it’s just happened that those were present there, where? At Brgy. San Felipe, 5 or 10kms from Koronadal city, why I was there? That’s where the starting point of the marathon where I joined.

I’m with my two friends, and that marathon is one of the event that is part of our school Intramurals. By seeing that doll’s picture, I remembered how tired I was back then, it brings back the feeling when I’m pushing my legs to its limit, it was my first time to join a marathon, and unfortunately I wasn’t prepared.

I’m proud and happy that I was able to finish it, my time was 31 minutes and a few forgotten seconds, it was a sweet little achievement, in exchange for my sweat, and I barely can stand the nextday.

And what about the Freaking Farmer's Friend? I just find it funny, that instead of putting some scary figures to scare the birds, they’ve placed a creepy doll, maybe the ones they want to scare are the passersby, well It’s still scary after all. why not...

Buzzing Bunch of Blackbirds




It was a Tuesday morning, I cant remember the exact date, but it was around 6am-7am. I rose from bed, opened the window, and welcome the new day.

When I opened the window, my eyes as well as my ears  were surprised by the number of birds on the powerlines, it wasn’t the usual view that I’m expecting to see, so I quickly grabbed my jijicam(DigiCam),lol, and captured few shots.

I’m really amazed, there’s so many of them, and it was the first time I saw those birds that many, on the powerlines in front of my room’s window, the usual number is 1 up to 6, those were Mayas(Sparrows), but these birds are not, I’m familiar with it, I’ve seen this everyday in our school when I was in KNCHS as well as when I was in college.



I wondered why those birds are there, until I found out why, and that’s because of the Balete tree nearby, I remembered that these birds loves to eat Balete tree’s fruit, and they were the ones responsible for the stains on my school uniform when I passed under the Balete tree during my highschool days.

And that morning, I ended up reminiscing my good old days while having a cup of coffee.

Fair Farewell



It’s been sometime since we’ve started
Started the bond that is now dead
I’ll miss the moments we’ve shared on bed
When I’m asleep  and you’re touching my head


The feelings back then doesn’t seems will end
But now what is left is only love for a friend
I wonder if things now are too late to amend
I hope my knees are still willing to bend


Love for each other, is what binds us together
And I never thought that it won't last forever
Now I’m nothing to you but a stranger
A stranger that is always ready to save you if you are in danger

I hope you will find the things that I wished you to see
If not that’s fine, all I wanted is to make you happy
Spread your wings, fly, soar, you are now free
If you feel tired, just come back, you can rest on me

Don’t ever forget that you were once part of my life
You, whom I desired to be my future wife
And that desire was now ruined by strife
It feels like my heart was pierced by a rusty knife

I know, same is true for you
I’m aware that I’ve hurt you too
And sometimes that pain caused you fever and flu
Flu, that is stickier than elmer’s glue.


...

...break it down yo! lol.

Ang Unang Linggo ni Ningmu



Pitong araw na ang nakalipas, mula nang ang pusang ligaw ay aking iniligtas, mabuti na lamang at siya ay malaki na at di na kelangan pa-inumin pa ng gatas. Di naging  madali sa pusang ligaw ang pag-aadjust sa bago nyang mundo kapiling ang gwapo nyang amo (objections are not allowed). kung sino man ang gwapo, amo nya ba o ang nagsulat nito, eh wala na daw syang paki-alam dito, ang mahalaga eh mahal sya nito ng buong pusa, este buong puso(nagdrama) nagka-iyakan pa ang amo, ang nagsulat nito, at si Ningmu. pero bago pa magkaroon ng dagat ng luha, at sing laki ng iceberg na muta, eh itutuloy ko na ang kwento ni Ningmu...

...sa pagpapatuloy... sa pag pasok ng pusang ligaw sa bago nyang tahanan, kelangan nyang iwanan ang luma nyang pangalan, at dahil diyan, muli siyang bibinyagan.

maraming imbetado sa okasyong ito, mga bisita ay pinili ng husto, at sa pagkaka-alam ko, may mga panauhin rin na hindi tao, hayop ang mga ito(pahayopin?).

di na dumaan sa screenings, auditions, at interviews ang mga nasabing bisita, sa pintu-an sila dadaan -sabi ng party organizer.



sa aming munting pinto, mga bisita ay napahinto, marahang binasa ang isang paalala, kahindik-hindik ang pagkakasulat ng mga titik(wreten en kapetal leturs), at ang nakasulat ay: "NO ID, NO ENTERy.", natigilan lahat ng bisita, napatingin sila sa isat-isa, napalulon ng sariling laway, at bahagyang napamura, wala kahit isa sa kanila ang may dalang ID.

bago pa mauwi sa hostage taking ang tensyonadong sitwasyon, minabuti na ng management na magpadala na ng negotiator.

Lumabas ang writer, sya ang inatasan ng management na tumayo bilang negotiator, kaya na posponed ang kanyang pagsusulat... (...lumabas pa ang writer) -at para di mainip ang mga audience eh nagdisisyon ang management na magkakaroon muna ng commercial break.

we will be right back after this short commercial break.

                                                                          (latest anoh?)

sa pagpapatuloy...

natapos na ang short commercial break, kaya ipinatawag na muli ng management ang writer para ituloy ang kanyang sinusulat. habang wala pa siya, eh ako na muna ang magsusulat-sino ako? --tinanong ko ang sarili ko, sinagot ko rin ang sarili ko "ako ito, ang writer(kunwari)".

sa muling pagpapatuloy(take two)... ...saan na nga uli tayo? "nariyan ka at nandito ako" --pasigaw na sagot ng pusang ligaw mula sa kanyang kwarto, at sabay tanung sa akin kung pinapasok ko na ang VIP without ID nyang mga bisita, ang sagot ko ay:"Hindi eh, ang sabi kasi ng management, tumayo ako bilang negotiator, kaya tumayo lang ako, di ko kinausap mga bisita mo."

Ay Tanga!!! pabulong na sigaw ng pusang ligaw, di ko pinansin ang pusang ligaw, kunwari barado ng cream na dilaw ang tenga ko kaya di ko sya narinig.

Sa pag-aalala baka magsi-uwi ang kanyang mga bisita, dali-daling dumungaw sa bintana ang bibinyagang pusa, pasigaw nyang tinawag ang mga bisita, at sinabihan na sa pinto sa kabila dumaan(back door).

kumaripas ng takbo ang mga walang modo, ang iba naman ay dahan-dahan lang tila cool at edukado. huling dumating sa pinto ang mga walang modo, sa kakamadali naligaw ang mga ito.

napatigil muli sa backdoor na pinto ang mga walang modo at mga kunwari edukado, pagkabahala ang namayani sa kanilang diwa, nang mabasa ang nakasulat na babala, na nagsasabing: "NO TRESSPASSING".

bago pa ulo ng karamihan ay uminit, at muling sumiklab ang galit, isa sa mga bisita ang buluntaryong nagpaliwanag kung anong ibig sabihin ng TREESPASSING, sabay sabi na wala silang dapat ikabahala, sapagkat ang ibig lamang sabihin ng TRESSPASSING ay: "bawal ang tatlo pumasok ng sabay", dapat ay isahan lang or "UNOpassing", o dalawahan or "DOSpassing", pwede rin apatan or "QUATROpassing". malas raw kasi pag tatluhan or "TRESSpassing" kung dadaan sa backdoor -ayon sa mga pongtsoy experts at mga gastrologers(astrologers na may gastritis).

sa wakas nakapasok rin ang mga bwisita, laking tuwa ng pusa ng makita nya na sina Daga A at Daga B pala ang kanyang bisita- kung hindi nyo pa sila kilala, kilalanin sa unang pahina nitong kwento ng ligaw na pusa.

madamdamin ang mga sumunod na tagpo, mag-asawang daga ay di man lang naka-upo, nagbilang ng tatlo si daga A, "Takbo!"-sigaw ni Daga B.

Kumaripas ng takbo ang dalawang kawawang daga, tinahak ni Daga A ang X-axis(abscissa), at sa Y-axis(ordinate)naman si Daga B, naiwan sa Origin(vertex) ang pusang ligaw at di agad nakagalaw, siya'y nalito at di agad nakatakbo, nag-isip kunwari at napakamot sa ulo, tinanong nya sa sarili kung sino... ...sino ang mas Tender at Juicy, si Daga A o si Daga B? medyo choosy kasi sya pagdating sa pagkain, at bago nya pa napansin, eh wala na ang dalawang daga na gusto nyang kainin.

Di na matanaw ng Pusa ang mga Daga sa Quadrant 1 and 2, at negative na rin pareho sa quadrant 3 and 4, naisip nyang gamitin ang
teorya ni Phytagora para ma locate ang mga nakatakas na daga. kaso biglang naalala ng writer na mahina pala sya sa Math kaya babaguhin nya nalang ang takbo ng kwento...

At bago pa mapagkamalan ng mga reader(like you) na mathematician ang pusang ligaw, nag desisyon na ang writer na itigil na ang pagamit ng mga mathematical terms, bigla nya kasing naalala na malakas syang kumain ng mga pagkaing mamantika, pero mahina talaga sya sa matematika, at sa katunayan ay di nya rin alam kung ano ang kaugnayan ng pagkaing mamantika sa matematika,(Ryhme daw kasi, kaya naisali).

Mahaba na ata ang maikling kwento na aking nagawa, at tulad ng dati eh mawawala nalang bigla na parang bula, kung ano ang nangyari sa  bibinyagang pusa at sa dalawang daga, eh ikaw na ang bahala... bahala ka na sa buhay mo! kaw na magtuloy ng kwento! pagod na ako!
wag kayong mang gulo!, sumuko na kayo! napapaligiran ko na kayo! wag kayong kikilos ng hindi masama! kung hindi, eh pasasabugin ko ang... ...ah basta!

(nang hostage na ang baliw na writer) at ang kanyang mga demands sa pamahalaan at kinauukulan ay ang mga sumusunod:

1. Murang Pizza Pie para sa mahihirap
2. Mahal at di mabisang gamot para sa mga Corrupt na pulitiko
3. RH bill para sa mga pusa
4. Libreng edukasyon para sa mga guro na di marunong magturo
5. I-rehab sa crocodile farm ang mga Kotong Cops(buwaya).
6. (Reserved for your suggestions)

Daylight Delight



Summer was about to end, kids will be busy again, that’s why we have decided to have a break from work—oops I’m not included, I’m a fulltime TAMBAY after all. I can’t remember what day and date it was, all I know is we went to beach.

Our departure time was 5:30AM and because we are Filipinos, we’ve took off an hour after the set departure time. We are going to General Santos City, 50+ kilometers from where we are. We rented a multicab, just enough for 3 small families, our family and my two titas’s families, but some family members are not included..
There are two towns or municipalities that we will be passing by, before we reach General Santos City. The first is the municipality of Tupi, when we got there the multicab where we are in, got a flat tire, but fortunately the driver had a spare tire, that’s why it wasn’t really counted as a delay. We had a picture taking while we are waiting for the driver to replace the flatted tire, and other guys helped him to make thing easy and fast, maybe in less than 15mins it was fixed, and our travel continues.



The next stop was at the Municipality of Polomolok, we have to pick up one of my tita there, and while waiting for her to arrived, we did not waste time and we bought fishes to be grilled on their market, where fishes are cheap and fresh, after my tita arrived, we resume our travel, our next stop was in cemetery, cemetery? Yes! Cemetery. We’ve visited my late grandfather, we just offered a little prayer, and asked him after if he would like to join our outing, --good thing is he didn’t answered back and maybe ask us if we would like to join him –hehe. Well, in our time we will.

Ok our travel continues, we arrived at our destination around 8:30-9:00am, we ate our breakfast first before we enjoy the sand, sun and the salt water. Everyone was enjoying, even not everyone knows how to swim, so some were left near the seashore, where water is not deep and they feel safe.
It’s admirable to watch my grandmother swimming , yeah she can still swim, even if she can’t walk fast, but then she can swim swiftly, she’s already 89 years old and despite of her age, she’s still capable of doing those things that she used to do when she was still young. 

As the heat gets hotter, we shed our selves under the roof of our rented cottage, we are all afraid to toast our skin, some of us doubting the effectiveness of their applied sun block, so we took a rest while treating our stomach, I’ve exposed also my fattened tummy, who cares! everyone in the group has a tummy same to mine(if not healthier)—haha. 

After we had our lunch, we forgot about the sun and the sunburn , we enjoyed the water again and its flashing waves. That was our last soak, we’ve gone off after.

May 21, 2011-judgment day

      

Judgment day, that means the world is about to end(not its literal meaning), I was a little surprised when I heard the news about this prediction, though I’m already used to it, because rumors like this always pop outs out of nowhere since long ago. Many groups and sometimes just individuals, always creates buzz regarding this serious matter, as a result others gone panic, and others just laugh over that issue, some were afraid and some are just calm and prepared for whatever is about to happen.  This time the source of this recent end of the world prediction, is a group from US, I’m a little curious on what kind of group are they, and what is their basis of this scary news. I’ve heard the interview on the leader or perhaps he was just the spokesperson(I’m not sure), he said that there’s nothing they will gain from spreading this Prediction—they’ve gain popularity. and as a matter of fact they’ve already sold their material things, and he also said that what they are saying is the world is about to end, they didn’t said that humans will die—what??? Haha I wonder how can we live without this world of ours, will we be transported to other planet(meet kokey)? To other dimension? Purgatory, Hell or heaven depending on how we lived our life? It sounds comical to me, and many doesn’t believe on this rumor, but I’m also surprised that according to the text poll survey that TV patrol World conducted, last night(as of this writing), there are 16% of the participant of this said survey believed that this May 21, 2011, 6:00pm Judgement Day is true, they really believed that this world of ours will end today perhaps later(as of this writing).  On the other hand, many religious sectors said that: “Only God Knows if when this world will end, or when will be the judgement day” however they are clearly saying that this May 21, 2011, 6:00pm Judgement Day prediction is not true—are they God? It sounds to me that they are certainly sure that this prediction is not true—does it mean they know when? Yet they are saying that only God knows, where’s the harmony on their statements? Well whatever will happen will happen, preparedness is necessarily needed, do what you have to do while you can. Ooopsss others might think that they should now do what are those things that is evil or prohibited by laws since the world is about to end, and we will all be gone, so let’s enjoy the remaining moments we have on this world, --I’m in total agreement with that, but I’ll prefer to do the opposite, do good, live your life righteously while you can, repent, forgive, love and be happy –weh di nga?

    Haha kakagraduate ko lang tapos end of the world na? ohhh kamon! Ayaw ko pa mag retire sa mundo, di pa ako tired hahaha. I have 77years more to live –according to my prediction, lol.
   

    To all my friends and love once, twice… and thrice. –I LOVE YOU ALL
    To all of you(including my friends and love once) –Hello! How are you?

                Come what may come what may come.

My Playful Mp3 Player



            Play… pause… Play… pause… Play… Ooops! –that’s not how I play my Mp3 player, and that’s not how my MP3 player play my favorite mp3s. it play my favorite mp3s the way it should be, play the song when I press the Play button, pause when I push the pause button and shut off when I turned it off. That’s my Sony Mp3 player.
                                                               

            It was again just given to me, gift or present in other word. It works just fine, not until I’ve observed that it’s now showing some abnormality, I’ve observed that when playing a music or any audio files like audiobooks and other audios in mp3 format, it’s louder when I’m touching the audio jack—hehe I’m not sure if it’s the right term, I’m referring to the end portion of the headphone, the thing you plug in you mp3 player’s output port. When I’m touching that or perhaps holding while I’m playing music, the volume boosts louder than it used to be, and after a week I suddenly can’t hear any sound from the headphone even if the music was already playing, at first I thought that the problem was on my headphone, so I used and tried other headphone that surely not defective, and the result was still the same. So, it was clear now that the problem was on the mp3 player itself.

                                                        
            Due to boredom and a little curiosity, I did not wait for second opinion from a known expert, I’ve check out the mp3 player by opening those portion that can be opened by using just my bare hands, and I found out that a screwdriver with a small tip was necessary, fortunately I have something like that somewhere on our cabinet, it took me more that 10minutes and I found it. It’s dissecting time!


                                         

            So I drove the screws out or perhaps the bolts? –hehe, and carefully checked out the wirings, the LCD display, the small chips with, the chip with capacitors , insulators, and conductor? –haha I’m not sure if those were those, and if those were present there, it’s just seems to me that it looks like those.

                                        
            After a few minutes of careful analysis or perhaps observation of what might be the problem is, I’ve seen that somewhere near the port where earphone is plug, there was a broken solded lead, and my intuition told me that it was the problem, and fortunately I have a soldering iron, I bought it when I was in high school, for what purpose? Uhmm I just want it, it looks cool –hehe. But unluckily I don’t have a soldering lead and honestly I don’t know how to use it –haha. So I just took my mp3 player to cellphone repair shop, I asked the technician if he could fix it, I told him the problem, and he started to open my mp3 player and in not more than 10minutes it was fixed. I only paid 20 pesos for that.

Bandage for my Aged Cellphone



Bandage for my aged cellphone –maybe this title will suggest to your imagination that you should be seeing inside your head an old cellphone wrapped with scotch tape, masking tape, or worst electrical tape.
          Well, that’s not the case, and I’m not going to mummify it to preserve its physical form either. What I’m about to do or perhaps what I did was, I just covered it’s wound, wound? Hehe ok here’s the story, my cellphone is a Nokia 3110c, an old model and an old one, it was just a gift to me from my sister, and it’s 3 or 4years old now—oops does it confused you? I’m referring on my cellphone.




            Just recently(as of this writing), due to old age(not my negligence) my cellphone’s usb connector cover, was removed, it just suddenly fell down(fell up?)—haha.  It wasn’t really a surprise, I was really expecting this phone to show me some signs of aging, and as a matter of fact, it already does, as you can see on the picture, the characters on it’s keypad was already erased, but it’s my doings because some characters were peeled off already, that’s why I’ve erased them all to make it look even.


                                                                            
            There was also more that 4000sms on my sent items, which I can’t erase because it was hidden and the bad news was, it consumes my phone’s internal memory free disk space, that’s why now I can’t same more than 100sms on my inbox, I have to mass delete sms more frequently—how troublesome!
            And now its new deficiency is this lacking of usb connector cover, what’s the big deal with this? Well, yes I can still send sms without that cover, but what I’m worried about was when small particles or objects(bacteria?)—haha, will plug-in on my usb connector’s port, the result is it will be damaged, and won’t anymore be able to use it when connecting my phone to pc for transferring of files.


                                           
            Thanks God, that these thick rubber bands were made, I’ve got an idea why not use it to covers my phone’s usb connector’s port, and it will serve as a decoration as well. It does perfectly fit on my phone, I’ve used to use it that way before, but I’ve removed it because it’s hard to answer someone’s call or to talk to someone over the phone, nhy? Because this thick rubber band if used that way, will cover the phone’s voice or sound  receiver—haha not sure with this term, it’s located near the usb connector’s port,  I have to remove the rubber band first before I can talk, and it’s not easy since it’s tight, otherwise you won’t be heard on the another end..

                                       

            So, that’s it! I’ve used it again, it looks nice somehow and more importantly it covers the open wound of my aged cellular phone.

Finding Ningmu(muning)



Ika pito ng Octubre taong dalawang libo’t sampu, nang una kong makita itong pusang pagala-gala, paikot- ikot sa labas ng aming bahay na tila terroristang may planong magtanim ng bomba, di ko pinansin ang kawawang pusa(di naman kasi cute), at mahigpit na bilin ng aking ina na huwag makipag-usap sa mga hindi ko kilala lalo na kung ito ay pusa(maliban nalang kung si Garfield ito).


Lumipas ang mga araw, lagi ko parin siyang natatanaw, napa-isip tuloy ako kung pwede ko ba syang ibenta sa nagbebenta ng siopao. Pero hindi pwede, paborito ko kasi ang siopao at di ako kumakain ng pusa –di nman magiging sampu buhay ko(buhay ko +9 ng pusa)  kung kakain ako ng siopao na may palamang  pusa.

Kinalimutan ko na ang maitim kong balak sa pusang ligaw, bagkus eh binigyan ko nalang sya ng tubig, baka sakaling na-uuhaw. Nung una eh medyo ma-ilap at natatakot pa(di kasi ako mukhang daga o tinik ng isda), pero dahil siguro sa uhaw at gutom, takot nya ay nawala at sa akin ay lumapit na(daga na ata ako sa paningin nya o di kaya di nagdiet na tuna).



Kinabukasan, kami ay naging magkaibigan na. tinik ng isdang tuna na nasa lata eh di ko na ipinagkaka-it sa kanya(meron kaya?). hindi natuwa ang pusang ligaw, “gutom parin ako!” –yan ang kanyang sigaw, sabay walkout na parang ako ang sumira sa kanyang magandang araw.

Makalipas ang dalawang minuto at .5seconds , umalingaw-ngaw ang malakas na “MEOW!” mula kung saan naroroon ang pusang ligaw. mga dagang naghaharutan, sa kisame ay biglang napadungaw, “what the hell happened?”—pasigaw na tanong ng isa sa kanila, “nothing happends on hell, darling.”—sagot ng kabiyak nyang tanga.

Sa hindi kalayu-an eh natanaw nina daga A kasama ang kabiyak nyang si daga B ang maingay na pusa, napansin ng dalawa(tanga ung isa) na nanlilisik ang mata ni pusa, at sa kasamaang palad eh nakatitig pa sa kanila ang matatalim nitong mata(eyespeak). Takot ang namayani sa diwa ng unang daga, at kinilig naman ang kasama nyang tanga.


Umihip ng mahinhin ang malamig na hangin, biglang nagdilim ang langit at ang kidlat dito ay gumuhit. Nagdilim na rin ang pag-iisip ng writer –nang marinig nya ang naka loudspeaker na sigaw ng kanyang mama, “Joey! Kunin mo na ang mga damit sa sampayan, nandyan na ang ulam,este ulan.”, “saan ang ulam? Este ulan, wla naman ah” –sagot ng tangang daga mula sa loob ng kanyang kwarto(nalito kunwari ang writer kung bakit ang tangang daga ay naging ako). Oo ikaw!, ikaw na nagbabasa nito, ikaw ay hindi ang writer, sapagkat ikaw ay ang reader, pero binasa rin ito ng writer kaya reader rin sya, pero hindi ikaw sya(nalito ka rin kunwari, tulad ng writer). Nawala ka sa iyong binabasa, nawala rin ang pusa, ang unang daga at kasama nyang tanga, nawala rin yung comma bago ang “at” nawala rin ang writer(kumuha pa ng damit sa sampayan), wala nang sumunod na mga salita at letra. 1,2,3 ,!@#$%^&* …



Itutulog… (Itutuloy sa panaginip)…

Sacrificial Pages



At the age of 7, I learned how to play chess, My late father taught me how, but never told me why. Why should I play this game? Maybe for fun or leisure and bonding, For killing time, To keep me away from vices, and to improve my thinking skill(which I’m not good at it until now haha), those were all good reasons why I should learn to play this game, it’s a sport after all.

It’s not all there is to it, I have learned on chess game that to win the game, sometimes I must make some sacrifice, it’s true even in real life. Sometimes we can’t have something we wanted without giving something in return, we pay the price, that is.

Now I was called by myself for sacrifice, it’s been already 6yrs since I graduated in highschool. Luckily, I found my long lost classmates and friends together with their signature faces on facebook. One of them added me to be on her friends list and the others as well, I did the same to some who’s still not on my friends list.

After the hi’s/hello’s, “how are you?”, “how do you do?” etc… they have decided that we’ll be going to have our class reunion by December—when holiday is everyday(not literally).

 The SMS’s keeps on flying back and forth, there were no central place for inquirers and inquiries, for questions and answers, for the organizers and participants. I decided to volunteer myself on building a website for our 4thyr class section, so that all informations that is necessary for everyone will be posted there, and that’s when my sacrifice started, aside from the time and effort, I have torn some pages on my yearbook because my scanner can’t scan it clearly without having it detached. I’ll be using those images for our website, but it’s alright it was just torn, not burned so I can still see their/our faces, our nostalgic faces. At the age of 7, I learned how to play chess, My late father taught me how, but never told me why. Why should I play this game?

I won… somehow.


Last September 10, 2010, I submitted my entry on a blog writing contest where I joined, that was my first time to join on a writing contest. I’m not a writer, perhaps not a good writer, but still my guts pushed my enthusiasm to give it a try.

I wasn’t confident that my entry will win any price, it simply because I’m not competent on this field, but still I was able to wrote my entry. I don’t really care if I win or not, I was just looking for a topic to write about for my new blog.
The Day of Judgment has come, I was informed by one of the organizers that my entry had won a prize a major prize. I was surprised, and I wonder which prize I won, is it the 1st? the 2nd? Or the 3rd ?. I quickly click the link that was sent to me on facebook to see the full detail about the winners.

The name of the first places wasn’t mine, and the next winner is not me, that leaves me on the third. I’m the third prize winner, where’s the proof? Here’s the link http://magazine.southcotabato.org/2010/10/winners-of-south-cotabato-experience.html  you might also want to check out my poorly but lucky written entry

South Cotabato Experience

Being born and becoming an inhabitant on this province of South Cotabato is such a good luck and fortune, If you are born here too then you shouldn’t be asking why, but if not then I guess I have to give you an idea on why I think and I thought I’m lucky and fortunate to be born on this beautiful province of South Cotabato. there are numbers of reasons that I can enumerate to you why I feel lucky being a South Cotabateneo. The first is that Province of South Cotabato is rich on natural resources of  its different towns. For us exporting products or goods from other provinces is not an option, we have enough here and in fact we are capable of exporting as well, just like other provinces. For example the pineapples of Polomolok are also served on Uncle Sam’s breakfast, not only to Juan Dela Cruz, and not only town of Polomolok, other towns of South Cotabato also has their respective products which serve as their trademark. Town of Banga is known because for their corn, also Lake Sebu is famous for its Tilapia and beautiful lake resorts. This province of South Cotabato is not only proud of its natural resources, also of its people, South Cotabato is a province of peace loving and talented people, the T’nalak woven by the native of T’boli is already known worldwide, and its one of the province pride, maybe that is why our festival was named: ‘t’nalak festival’ –and you should visit us during our celebration of t’nalak festival to witness the rich and colorful culture of South Cotabateneos.


        Even if I was born here and a permanent resident of South Cotabato, there are still places here that I haven’t visited yet(not until I went there) haha. And one of those is Lake Sebu, I got curious about this place when I heard a lot of good things about it from my friends, classmates, and other people. They said it was a nice there, and they really had a great time, the place was so peaceful and relaxing and they’ll definitely come back there. Their said experiences at Lake Sebu becomes my first impression of that place, a first impression that certainly last until now, I have already been there many times, not just more than twice of one hehehe and that is when my impressions becomes reality, it was a paradise before my eyes, you’ll forget your worries and tensions, its really a good place to relax and unwind which I think is necessary for busy persons like… …you? Maybe, hehehe I’m not a busy person, not at all. But still I love the place and I will loved to be misplaced there hahaha missing? Or lost? –haha just dreaming for adventure.

The climate was very cold or rather the weather, but whether the climate or the weather, the point is its cold, very cold, especially when the sun is not present, you better take your blanket or jacket or igloo hahaha with you.



I wonder if Manny Pacquiao could do his training here instead of in baguio and when he refused, then we could invite Antonio Margarito hahahaha he might forget his fight to Manny Paquiao, leave his boxing career and choose to spend his whole life at Lake Sebu, and maybe raise some Tilapia hahahaha I can’t wait to see a punching Tilapia or maybe a punched Tilapia haha how cruel! –too much for the nonsense.



Haha I’ll be giving you 10 reasons why everyone should have their own South Cotabato experience(s) just see the ff:

Burnout Brownout Burnout





Sometimes brownout is similar to death, it something that sometimes your can’t predict. It will take you by surprise, and darkness will suddenly appear before your eyes. For people like me who’s always working important things on a computer(when not playing games) hahaha,

Sometimes  we see brownout as a disaster, we’re usually working 3hrs to 6hrs or more on a important project and then lost everything in a second— hahaha that’s how cruel brownout for us.

 If  you are using a laptop then you’re a bit lucky, your laptop will prompt a warning if its power is draining you’ll have your time saving your works.

 If you don’t have a laptop and you are using a desktop computer then you should be using UPS with it, it will give you enough time, not only on finishing your work but most importantly on saving your work.

    If  you don’t have a laptop or UPS, don’t worry you can still avoid any lost of data and save time and sweat by not repeating those works that you probably haven’t saved when the brownout surprised you, and how? Just love the two life saving keys on the keyboard the ctrl(control) key and the ‘s’ key because ctrl+s is the shortcut key for saving your works, it won’t hurt if you press it every 5 minutes when doing something important that needs to be saved, so you better make it a habit or choose to feel bitter when you don’t. hehehe

yes or no to nofollow



To those who are concern and conscious on their blog/website ranking on SERP(Search Engine Result Pages) you guys might be familiar of this nofollow tag, it is not actually a tag but an attribute used on HTML tags, If you know SEO(Search Engine Optimization) then probably this nofollow attribute is familiar to you and if you don’t, just find continue reading and find out why is it important.

One factor that is always considered by most of the search engines if not all, when ranking your blogs or website are the links on your webpages, it’s important that the links on your site are relevant or related to your sites topic or post, for example if your blog is all about different breeds of dogs, then the links from or to your blog must be something or somehow related to dogs, so that when search engine crawlers check your site then your ranking will not be reduce, since the links are relevant.

Now, when and why to use the nofollow attribute? When? If the link is not relevant to your site or post topic , and you might ask why is that you need to have links?, and the answer is simple: its necessary for your ranking and perhaps for your post, you may have seen a lot of bloggers exchanging links with each other, and if they don’t consider if it is relevant to their site or not, and as a result they still remains on the least portion of the SERP(Search Engine Result Page) list.

Exchanging links with other websites or blogs is not bad, if its is relevant to your’s but still you can and you may, as long as you use no follow attribute to those links that are not relevant to your’s then your rank will not have to be reduce by the search engines. How to use the nofollow attribute? Links on websites looks like this: “<a href="http://irrelevantsite.com">irrelevant site</a>” just add rel=”nofollow” inside the opening tag anchor tag and it will looks like this now: <a href=http://irrelevantsite.com rel=”nofollow”>irrelevant site</a>

About Joey Mallari Laglagaron

           
          I’m Joey Laglagaron, that’s my Given name and Surname, my middle name is “Mallari”, My incomplete date of birth is August ,6 (never mind the year ), as of this writing, I’m already on my 20’s, if late or early, it doesn’t matter ­­. –suplado? Lol.

           My parents are both widows, it means the two of them had their first family –self explanatory? I have siblings from both sides, 1 from my mother and 6 from the other side, and if we do some math, the total is 8, that’s me and my 7 half , but loving older sisters and brothers.

            My birth place was in Koronadal City, South Cotabato. At the time of my birth, it is still a municipality, and it is popularly known as “Marbel”, majority of the people here are ilonggo, my father too is an Ilongo but my mother is a Kapangpangan, the remaining tribes are mixed up of Ilocanos,Cebuanos,Muslims and other ethnic tribes.

            I spent my preschool days in Davao City, where my siblings from my father’s side reside, on my stay there I learned how to speak in Cebuano or “bisaya”, that’s the dialect that they are using, and learning it wasn’t easy because my tongue is only used in uttering and muttering tagalog words, but eventually because of frequent exposures, I’ve learned how, and making friends with others kids on our neighborhood was made easy.

           I was 7 years old when I lost my father, young as I was, I’m already aware of how much he loved me, his final words before his final breath, was all about me, for me, for my betterment, he wanted me to be sent in good school, and my siblings granted that wish, I’ve already completed my first grade at the public school on our barrio , where my Father formerly served as a school principal. As an answer to his wish, I was sent to a private school, my siblings funded my schooling, thanks to them, I’ve finished my primary education on a good school, however I’m not a good pupil back then, I’ve demonstrated excellence when it comes on keeping my grades below the average. This poor academic performance of mine will lead me to poverty if not treated, so as a treatment I was transferred to a public school for my secondary education.

        I’ve enrolled at Koronadal National Comprehensive HighSchool(KNCHS), my four years of stay there was one of the most colorful chapter of my life, I’ve learned a lot about life and its reality, I was exposed to different kinds of people from all walks of life. I’ve filled my head  of good memories that I can treasure and will give me some faint light during my dark and down times, and I also included those bad memories that will remind me of the morals that I’ve learned in the past. It’s good that I’ve experience learning from my experiences. Somehow I managed to finish my highschool in not more than 4 years. Lol –unlike…

    …unlike my college. After highschool, I went back to a private school, I’ve enrolled at Notre Dame of Marbel University, the only university in our city(at the time of this writing). I’ve taken up Computer Science, only because I cant think of other course(s) that interests me, and somehow I’m quite fascinated with computers, that is why. After two years of pain, I’ve shifted from Computer Science to Information Technology, where my friends are and where I thought headache doesn’t exist, but I was wrong, my stay there was extended. In the end, I made it until the end, I’ve graduated… finally.

          What else about me? I’m a floratic and faunatic kind of guy, a fanatic of plants and animals or nature in general. When I was a kid(I’m still), I used to catch fishes and fresh water crabs and shrimps on the rivulet(Sapa) in our barrio, these are my early pets back then, but eventually, I found out that there’s a more eye pleasing fishes that is for sale on the shop they called petshop in our city, from plain gray-colored fishes, my aquarium was filled new fishes with different colors and different prices. Aside from fishes I also had have other pets like: white mice, dog , cat, guinea pigs, and  a chameleon which I decided to release back into wild because I don’t have enough time catching insects for its food.

            I also love hiking I used to do it everyday for maybe two weeks, this is when I graduated in elementary and still waiting for highschool school opening. I spent my idle days with my friends on our barrio, some of them are our native folks, their tribe is b’laan. They are very friendly, I always hike with them in the mountain near our house, just a few meters from our backyard. –I guess my mother doesn’t know about it until now. Haha.
   
           I… I’m running out of words… hehe. I already forgot about my other interests, like watching the rain, the sunset, the sunrise, the singing birds(watching their song?), I also forgot that I love listening to music, from those heart-melting love songs to these head-banging and eardrum breaking rock music. I’m also an enthusiast of photography, astrology, technology, pornography??? –lol  and many other logy-logies.

          Uhmmmm what else??? I’ll just update this blog entry whenever I remembered something relevant. You may also ask me for a particular fact(s) that you would like to know. If it’s too personal or not, that’s for me to decide. Hehe.

         P.S. : if you made it here without skipping some of the paragraphs up there, then Thank you! But if you did skipped, then still Thanks! and if you went directly here, here’s for you… You! Lol.

About me???



Welcome to my “About me” page, you might be familiar of “about Us” page, most websites particularly those that are owned by organizations and companies used to use that term, it’s usually located above or sometimes below their site’s banner, and sometimes on their horizontal navigation links.
   
Anyway, I’ll be just talking about myself here, so there’s no need for me to use the term “about us”, though for sure I’ll be mentioning other persons here but still it’s “about me” not “about us”—whoever that person may be haha.
   
What a lengthy introduction! It’s time for me now to introduce myself, me and I, I’m(not single) Joey Mallari Laglagaron, my dream when I grow up(if ever) is to become an astronaut(kidding). Uhmmmm haha I don’t know where to and how to start, should I be talking about my family background?, my educational attainment?, my lovelife?, my hobbies and habits?, likes and dislikes?, my most favorite green color?, first kiss?, ultimate crush?, aji no motto in life?, zodiac sign?, childhood heroes? Haha I almost forgot this isn’t a scrapbook after all, only that what I’m writing are just like a senseless scraps.  Hehe
   
My bad, I can’t get serious even if I wanted to. Well, I’ll just take it easy, and let my pen lead the way, way to nowhere hehe I should be talking about me(myself) here but unexpectedly I ended up talking to myself, haha. Oooopssszzzz it isn’t the end yet, so I’ll take back my word, I didn’t end it up, that’s what I mean, because I’ll be talking to you too…     …LATER.

    Finally, I seriously feel that I’m serious now on writing my “about me” page. It’s now clear to me what to write, and what not to write haha, what I mean is, I should be considering what we called “privacy” to make it short, I can’t go all out on giving or publishing my personal informations online, why can’t I? because it can be use against me or for evil purposes, and how? uhmmmmm just ask me in person, so that I can automatically identify or include you to my list of suspects(if ever) haha fair enough isn’t it? Haha

    Haha I thought I’ll be serious on that precious paragraph, but still not serious enough to be called serious. By now, you might be tired of reading about my “about me” page since you are not getting what you want, you don’t want me, do you? Whatever your answer, I’m sure you’ve come this far to know more about me, isn’t it right? Well I don’t want to disappoint you, but… … but your on you’re way to what you are really after…congratulations  à continue to my “about me page” it’s entitled, About Joey Mallari Laglagaron.

Hello blogosphere




Its been a while since I stopped blogging, but that wasn’t an early retirement. I just took a month-long leave, and left the blogosphere for a while. Now I decided to come back and not to leave again— for as long as I’m still capable of seeing the characters on the computer screen and able to key it in from the keyboard, then life goes on.

Some bloggers considered blogging as their way of life, and I guess I’m one of them, I don’t blog just to earn bucks for my living—though its not a bad idea at all, but I simply wanted to share my thoughts whenever I feel like talking and no one is around to listen, at least I could just write down my thoughts and share it to the world.

This blog is actually my 4th personal blog, the other three was disgraced haha because I forgot the passwords on each of my account, maybe it’s due to the drastic expansion of Gap on my memory(Memory Gap) — in other words, sign of aging. Maybe I should add
peanut on my diet hahaha.
