Elbow Room....

A couple of nights ago, some friends and I had a couple of rounds at the the Elbow Room, a billiard hall slash restaurant located in Metrowalk along Meralco Avenue. While we never did get to play billiards, we did manage to put down a few drinks for a pleasant nightcap before we called it a night.

It was a chance to share some stories and insights with some people with whom I haven't drank with in a long, long time. Perhaps too long. But that's the nice thing with real friends. Sometimes you may not see or talk to each other in years, but when you do get together, it's as if you never went your own ways. We talked about a lot of things, most of them enlightening, and some things which ought not to see the light of day. But that's just the way things are. :-)

It was my first time to be inebriated in that place, and I have to say it seems quite nice. Maybe I ought to come back one of these days, perhaps with more "intimate" company. That is, if I could find someone willing. Hahahaha. :-)

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
