My first blog....

Hmmm...now what do I do...? :-) Blogging seems to be a popular activity as of late, and as one who always seems to have an opinion or something to say, I guess it was inevitable that I end up making one of these things for myself...so what the hey!?!?

Right now am a bit bored...nothing really happening as of late...a number of my officemates seem to be enjoying themselves with watching short porn clips of actresses...Diane Zubiri I believe? Ning (my somewhat "beautiful" [according to her at least...;-)] colleague doesn't seem to have anything better to do than scour my cell phone for forwarded messages that can be recycled....now another one is delivering a somewhat forlorn version of Frank Sinatra's "My Way." We sure paint a pathetic picture of life in one of the country's top GOCCs (Government Owned and Controlled Corporations)...and the funny part is...this is what we do everyday of our lives in this office. Hmmmm....a worthwhile use of taxpayer's money, don't you agree? :-)

Well, as long as I started with this thing, eventually I'll be putting down more meaningful entries, reflecting my thoughts, observations and what have you...for now, my mind is a blank...:-) Maybe later, I suppose. Will anyone bother reading this mess? Who knows...? :-)

Is aspartame safe?

Image
Do you know what aspartame is? Well, even if you don't, given its ubiquitous nature, its a virtual certainty that you have already crossed paths with it in your life at one time or another. For the uninitiated, aspartame is a low-calorie sugar substitute most often used in carbonated beverages, you know, the diet or lite variety. Here in the Philippines, it is commonly known by the brand names NutraSweet and Equal . The reason why it has significantly fewer calories is because its not carbohydrate based. Its a methyl (methane derivative) ester (organic compound) dipeptide (two amino acids joined by a single peptide bond) consisting of aspartic acid as the first amino acid, and phenylalanine as the second. Its about 180 times sweeter than typical table sugar, and as such, a little goes a long way. A single pellet of Equal (18 mg of aspartame) has about the same sweetening strength as a teaspoon of ordinary white sugar (about 5 ml). Do the math. It was first discovered in 19...

Photos courtesy of Ghosthunter If you drive or are at least into cars, no doubt you've probably heard at one time or another about the Khaos Super Turbo Charger . It's a device that is claimed to drastically reduce the fuel consumption of your gasoline driven vehicle by as much as 50%. It created such a hype when it was introduced in November 2003 after glowing reviews and endorsements from, among others, the Department of Energy (DOE), the Makati Land Transportation Office (LTO) and Taiwan’s Automotive Research and Testing Center. Even Malacañang got into the picture, and presented the inventor, Pablo Planas, with a Presidential Award Medal for Outstanding Invention. All in all, various government agencies and government officials got into the picture, singing the praises of a device that miraculously reduces fuel consumption by a significant margin. As a result, in less than a year, more than 3,500 units were sold and installed to customers who swear by the product's effe...
