I could use a drink....

That last post reminded me. It's been a while since I had a drink. How long has it been, has it been weeks? Months now? Really? The weather has been quite hot lately...and despite being my usual funny, jovial self at the office, with always a funny remark or wisecrack at hand, I'm not really in one of my better moods. Been recovering from a mild bout of asthma as well, so I haven't smoked in...almost two weeks I guess. Maybe nicotine withdrawal is making me cranky as well. If I'm going to quit for good, I need a reason. Somehow smoking seems appropriate whenever you're brooding....

Being there for everyone...whether you want to or not... can be a thankless undertaking, and most of the time people just take your existence for granted. Been invisible lately to a lot of people I know...even to some close friends, and maybe some people I care about. Well. It happens. Sometimes you just get tired of being a shock absorber, and you just plainly need a break. Maybe some breaks ought to be for good, don't you think? Who knows? Maybe God intended it to be that way. God works in mysterious ways.

People, don't try to make sense of this post. It's not intended to make sense. Just rambling out loud. I don't mind if you comment to this post, knock yourself out. You can give negative comments if you feel I deserve it. Who knows? You may even be right. But if you're going to comment and not say it in a pleasant enough manner, don' t bother. I don't have the patience anymore to read crass or rude comments. I don't need to explain myself. And nor do you.

A drink. That would be nice. Maybe next time. Perhaps if someone asks me nice. Not that nice.

Well, while I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, but as long as you're old enough, you can take it, and you do it in moderation, I don't think there's anything wrong with that...:-)

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...
