Ey!

Hi guys! Yeah, its been a good couple of days since I last posted an update. Been on travel lately, and somehow I haven't been able to find the time to post new entries, well, until now that is.

In fact, I'm making this entry from an internet cafe right here in Davao, I'm not particularly sure where. Its dirt cheap, as I paid only P10 for 30 minutes of internet time. Its a bit noisy though, because of all the people playing games all around. Its a bit close to the Gaisano South Citimall. I've been wandering this area for about half an hour now, looking for some good deals and generally just trying to get a feel for this place. I'll be here until Friday.

I just arrived earlier today via the 9:55 Air Philippines flight from Cebu. Been there since Sunday. I managed to take a lot of pictures of the sights, unfortunately I don't have the capability right now to download the photos I took from my phone and digital camera, so I'll be posting some of the good ones when I get back to Manila.

There are a lot of things that I would like to share about my recent trips, but I guess that will have to wait for a while, since it doesn't seem likely that I'll be able to blog much while I'm here. But after a couple of days in Cebu, and now here in Davao, I have to say that it really seems that there are a lot more pretty faces here than in Manila. While Manila has its share of pretty faces as well, they tend to be located in more upscale areas. Here, they just seem to be all over the place.

Maybe one day I'll consider staying for a longer period of time in one of these cities. When I was younger, I wouldn't even consider living anywhere else except Manila. Now, I guess I ought to rethink that stand.

Moral of the story? I ought to go out more and travel. There are a lot of beautiful sights out there to see, places to go, and history to remember. And the Philippines has that in spades. :-)

Take care guys, I'll be back again real soon. :-)

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...

Peddling Snake Oil - The Khaos Super Turbo Charger

Image
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...
