"My Dad and I tossed a coin. If it were heads, he’d buy me a backpack, if it were tails, he’d get me a handbag. It was heads…" is the story of how Kylie's backpack came to be. Her reversible backpack was picked out by her dad. Interestingly, both sides are zebra-printed, and the current inner side is made of fuzzy lining.

What's in the bag of this tall Atenean eye-catcher

From L-R: Laptop, laptop charger, Samsung Corby phone, umbrella, earphones, wallet, yellow pad, folder, earphones splitter, glasses, notebook, Kinder Bueno chocolate, more notebooks, pencil case, fan, and calculator

Kylie carries a lot of notebooks with her. She explains that they each have different purposes. One, she says, is for doodles, the other for tutor, and the rest for notes. She also brings with her an earphone splitter. She explains this by saying "I don't have an iPod, so I share like "Hey, can I make kabit?'" The photo in her wallet is a picture of her younger brother back in Baguio.

When asked for the three things she would like to keep from her bag, Kylie immediately responds with "Chocolate! 'cause I'm hungry, then my wallet..." and then thinks about the last item for a few more seconds before finally deciding "My laptop!"

This particular bag is what Stephie often brings to school. Together with it, she usually carries a clear folder that contains her files and papers.

What's in the bag of the charming and eloquent FEU courtside reporter

Clockwise from left to right: Notebook with pen, iTouch, cell phone, small towel, USB, Internet dongle, brush, grooming kit, breath mints, Strepsils, army knife set, wallet, earphones and toothpaste

Aside from the odd sighting of the toothpaste, which according to her, she only got from a certain organization as a freebie, it was surprising to find an army knife set inside her bag. Stephie shares that she really brings the army knife set to school basically for protection purposes.

UAAP Notebook

As a courtside reporter, she says that a notebook is definitely a must-have for reporting. This one in particular she uses for scratch and it is where she writes down notes from dugouts and huddles during UAAP games.

Trivia: Stephie also reported on the first few games of Mapua before working on FEU.

Stephie's top 3 essentials:

1. Cell phone for easy contact with other people

2. iTouch - Because she no longer brings a laptop to school, her iTouch is very essential. It is what she uses to access Internet in campus and to check her email.

3. Wallet - Of course, money is a daily necessity.

When asked if she won't include the army knife set in the list, Stephie jokingly responds, "Okay lang, papalo ko nalang 'to (pertaining to the wallet) or something!" (laughs)

Yes, the dynamic duo were both bag raided.

It is indeed natural that once you bag raid Gico, you gotta bag raid his partner, Papz.

We asked this Blue Babble Battalion Captain to give us a sneak peek of his bag, and he willfully agrees. His bag is neat and small compared to his Babble-mate Gico, and he says he prefers it that way. Asked if he brings his Babble Bag with him, he says that he doesn't do so often, but if and when he does, he just puts a pillow so he could sleep in the Babble bench and the library comfortably.

Like most of his clothes, his bag is also Giordano.
When asked about this, he answers that it is the brand his mom buys ever since before.

What's in the bag of the neat and organized Babble Battalion captain

Clockwise from left to right: Extra set of clothes, small expanding envelope, senior planner, Corona notebook, (GLEE) Ateneo Placement Office Career Planner, 1x1 ID picture, highlighter, bracelet and necklace, My-Gel pen set, video tape for theater class, History book, and charger

Papz admits that he is actually OC, so everything in his bag was neatly arranged, and all had their proper places.

The 3 things he would want to keep with him:

1. Charger
2. My-Gel pen set. "Hindi colored ang notes ko, mahilig lang talaga ako sa colors. Mahilig rin ako sa My-Gel tapos lagi ko nawawala mga ballpens ko." As proof of this, he showed us that his blue and black pens are already missing. Also, he adds that girls are a fan of colors, so when they need colorful pens, he can readily offer his set, "Hi meron ka bang orange? Ha? Orange? Wait lang, ito o, orange! *smiles*"
3. Necklace, which was given to him by his girlfriend.

You know what's even more interesting?
We discovered different personalities in the bags of the two well-known jesters in the Babble.
Yet, despite Papz' orderly bag and Gico's "magulong bansa" bag, the two guys are definitely inseparable especially when it comes to their crazy antics during UAAP Men's Basketball games!
Awww! Well, as they say, the times change but the brotherhood remains!

One might see this green Nike bag as any ordinary bag, but to Gico,

his bag which was given by an aunt symbolizes something.

"Itong bag na to, nirerepresenta niya ang Pilipinas at ang gobyerno -- magulo!"

What's in the bag of the funny and famous Blue Babble Battalion member

Clockwise from top: Gatorade towel, a book borrowed from the library, white t-shirt, tons of readings, a B+ paper, cellphone, wallet, match, laptop, and a charger

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, he brings a towel and an extra t-shirt. Although the shirt is already a bit wrinkled, he says, "Malinis pa yan! Mabango pa yan! Amoy Zonrox pa rin yan!"

If Gico were to bring a small bag to school, and only 3 things could fit inside,

it would definitely include his laptop, wallet, and cellphone.

But that's not all!

As we were approaching the end of the bag raid, we found a quite interesting object inside his bag which, according to him, is a "manly thing". When asked what it was for, he jokingly says, "Nako, delikado! Baka hindi ako mapunta sa langit e!"

It was so amazing how the bag is able to hold so many stuff, but will they still fit when placed back?

"Kasya yan, brader!" -Gico
