Back to School: Cool and Designer Backpacks

Getting your ‘Nirvana’ on
In the 90’s, the late Kurt Cobain’s band Nirvana didn’t just made grunge rock cool but also designer backpacks. Though the look didn’t stick and wasn’t the most fabulous during that era, its added accent to bags has caught on even until now. Nowadays, not just students are sporting slouchy hanging bags on their backs and shoulders or one shouldered styles- even those who like this classic item.

Their many names: Knapsack, rucksack and packsack
It may have been known for many names but its ergonomic design and purpose never varies. It’s a bag carried on one’s back and secured with two straps (others, only one) that will go over the shoulders. They are commonly used to carry heavy loads instead of holding it with your hands.

What to look for when buying one
This not just a useful item to carry but can be an amazing accessory (just don’t let it clash with your outfit). There are different styles too choose from and varies for its practical uses. Here is what you should look for:


  • Lightweight: For on the go and storing your child or your school books or gym clothes. It could be also a good buddy for travelling light.
  • Personality: every Designer Backpacks has a personality of its own. They are able to show off who you are by its design, colour and size.
  • Durability: look for something that could endure the internal weight of your everyday items and at the same time get through the beating of everyday commute. Example, if you are someone who carries a laptop every day, you should pick one with padded internal structure.
Always Carry Something
Here are 12 ‘something’ that would simplify your choices and narrow down your list.

  1. Bright: Crayola coloured ones that reminiscent of kiddie designs during your elementary days.
  2. Soft: faux leather or sweatshirt fleece material.
  3. Denim: good for hefting bid textbooks for its durability.
  4. Neon: if you are going for a vintage style knapsack.
  5. Multipurpose: there are Designer Backpacks out there that can be turned into 4 bags-from its original design to a sling, shoulder and tote bag.
  6. Shiny: shiny leather can be a waterproof accessory as the water will slide right off it.
  7. Roomy: having lots of pockets makes it very roomy for your items.
  8. Floral: floral designs make a chic accessory that turns any outfit very classy.
  9. Textured: if you carry a laptop or notebook, a knapsack will be big enough to carry it without the extra bulk.
  10. Classic: cream coloured ones have hat feel of a middle school student all grown up.
  11. Rugged: padded inside and shoulder straps will give that sense of a mountaineer even if it’s just a trek to your school or office. But very useful when you are going for a hike over the weekend.
  12. Luxurious: modern leather Designer Backpacks with sleek gold on the shoulders that you would wear more to impress than for its use.

To God Be the Glory- My Testimonial During the Youth Reload last Friday- May 13, 2011 was a night filled with music, dance, laughter and even tears for the One and Only Star in our Lives- God. BCC was once again filled with so many young people, there are lots of “VIPs” and also the “Many Timers”- I’m one of them. I’ve been coming to BCC for almost 2 months now. After my Encounter, my passion to go through these events increased and going to BCC is already part of my Weekly schedule. But that night was different. Our Network-Eagurlz and the Arios Knights were the sponsors for the YR’s program. It was different because I was not just there to watch but to be watched. We were called “Las Chicas Agilas” and we danced Stacie Orrico’s “I could be the one”. But before the dance, there was one part were someone wil

Tula sa Nangungulila

Missing someone(s) right now. So I'll write right now. Di mo man ako pansinin, Ibaliwala ang pagsuyo at pagtingin, Basta huwag mo laging kalimutan, Ikaw ay nasa aking mga panalangin. Di kita tatantanan o bibitawan, Makita ko lang ang inaasam na pagbabago. Mawala na ang inyong lumang pagkatao, At maghari ang Buhay ni Kristo! Ngayong araw, ikaw ay nasa aking mga dasal, Alam mo man o Hindi, Ako'y nananabik para sa iyo. Hanggang sa makita kang muli. Sa aking harap at sa iyong tabi. English Translation: You might not notice me now, Don't mind my persuasion and affection. Just don't always forget, You are always in my prayers. I will not leave you alone or let you go, Until I finally see the change for you I've longed for. That your old you be gone, And see the life of Christ in you! Today, You are in my prayers, You might know or not, I am longing for you, Until I finally see you again. Face to face and by your side.

“Restless? Be STILL”

See the picture? That’s our University field. It’s so vast for me even I’ve seen it almost my whole life. Growing up inside the campus, growing up seeing all of these for 22 years, I still never get use to these. Masarap mag senti sa mga lugar na ito. Maaliwalas, tahimik at malawak- kasing lawak ng imagination ko. Peace. Lately, I’ve been struggling with peace. Heart. Mind. Body. Soul. Whenever I see this vastness I would dream again. That God would fill this with so many young people that will worship Him, give their lives to Him. And you know what? It excites me. And scares me. It makes me happy. And makes me nervous. Maybe it’s just really part of my personality. As Kabacan Ministry is taking off- Sunday services and open cells, my list of goals and dreams also increases. It’s not a bad thing- having goals are all important so that you would know if we really are progressing. “But we must hold on to the progress we have already made.” Phil3:16. Since all of these are happening,
