Philippine Transit Application Challenge Pictorial

-
The Philippine Transit Application Challenge is one avenue where one can create or develop an application to cater to the needs of our transit/transportation and other applications to the benefit of commuters, pedestrians, tourists and even for those with special needs. This is one way where hackers, programmers, computer engineers, developers and other freelancers whose hobby is to make or develop apps to challenge themselves in the making of the best application that will not only be beneficial to each Filipino, but also must contribute something to our constituents' transit needs. This is a competition for Intelligent Trip-Planning by the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) launched just this July 1. For those interested, one may check out more information at the DOTC website.   
  

On our end, a Boot Camp was held to inform the public about this challenge and to explain to the candidates/possible developers the mechanics of joining this competition. While we were enjoying the Training, attentive waiters of Gensan's newest Greenleaf Hotel were helpful enough to cater to our needs even during the class pictorial. It's a funny thing that when we asked for their assistance, all of them offered a hand to take our pictures. Here they are with our cameras...



And here's one of their shots of us!

This is interesting, Sheng. I'm excited to know what the developers will come up with. Hmn, napaisip tuloy ako: Kung ako ang developer, ano kayang app ang ide-develop ko, given na ako ay isang lakwatserang commuter hehehe

Warning! Allergic Reactions Appear

And what would that be? You would surely ask that. Last week, I found myself scratching my legs because they are so itchy. There's this blotches in it wherein the skin looks like it has been stung by a bee, or a mosquito bite. I scratched it and whoa, it became wider. It was all over my legs, mostly near below the knee part. I was aghast at what has become of my legs, and thinking it was allergy from something, I bought myself Celestamine for the allergy. Celestamine is an anti-allergic medicine. However, this med will surely keep you drowsy. A few hours after I had the pill, the itch and the blotches were gone, leaving my legs some map-kind of red leftover from my scratches. And so i was happy. The following day, I had been watching my diet and the foods I eat, thinking the allergy came from the santol I had(though I ate none of it again), the blotches were again visible in my legs. This time, it spread through my arms, and my hands. I felt very itchy that I could only cry my e...

Famous Cultural Landmark in Surallah, South Cotabato

We went to Lake Sebu last Saturday to celebrate my brother's 16th birthday, and while on our way to witness the majestic falls, we were already planning to drop by Surallah to check out their most famous cultural landmark, the round ball. I do not really know how it was named the Round Ball since it seems so redundant to be called as such but to question it, honestly, won't give you much intelligent answer as we also have round balls in Koronadal City and General Gantos City. Actually a rotunda, but ever since has been called the Round Ball. Unveiled last March 15, 2011, it’s towering, obelisk-like central piece of a 2-string lute points straight to heaven , silhouetted by the blue sky at more than 60 feet above the ground. Called he’galong by indigenous T’bolis, the slim lute seemingly grows from the core of a huge, endemic , bulb plant bohong, the elongated leaves of which spread out in radial fashion . ( via ) I have heard about this new landmark that Surallah boasts o...

The First Ever Traditional B'laan Wedding Ritual I Witnessed

Image
It was a beautiful Saturday morning when we visited Kinilis, in Polomolok. I was with Nanards and two visiting friends from Davao City, Emi, and her American husband, Joshua. They wanted to go see the kafe balos because it has been very famous now, and they wanted to invest into the business. Sir Fred mentioned there was a tribal wedding that very day so it was a fortunate day for us to witness something different, a customary tribal wedding rite. We went inside the house for they explained to us that the traditional B'laan wedding is being held inside the house of the bride where the couple has to sit on a mat and surrounded by relatives and witnesses. The bride was very beautiful that day, she was adorned with T'nalak inspired accessories, and her hair was placed with a beautiful headdress made of brass. Her hips was surrounded by a brass belt where hundreds of small bells were making noise each time she moves. And she was fully clothed in a colorful B'laan attire, and s...
