We only part to meet again....

Tomorrow's the day we celebrate Doc Olive's upcoming departure (well, she's not leaving yet for at least a couple more weeks, but yun na rin yun). Mixed feelings I guess. A good friend is moving on to greener pastures. I'm elated that she had found an opportunity to go beyond the four walls of our current office and to live up to her potential, to maximize the use of her accumulated training, experience and skills. At the same time, there's a tinge of sadness. A colleague I have come to know and respect (on occasion, hahaha), have discourses with, trade jokes and quips, and work with on perhaps to most important and relevant issues in our office's history (excuse me while I roll on the floor laughing) will soon cease to be a part of my daily life. But that's life. We all have to move on sooner or later. Though change is a constant and essential part of human existence, it still gets to us sometimes. And life goes on.... Doc, you shall definitely be missed. Good luck, and God bless....;-)

"Don't be dismayed at good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends."

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
