'Twas the week before Christmas....

For the past several weeks, I've made a lot of posts on this blog regarding my personal opinions, photographs that I took, places I've been, food I ate, email I received, movies or TV shows that I watched, tests I took, games I played, etc. And yet, it's been a while since I posted an entry about me.

This is supposed to be a journal of my thoughts right? It did start out that way. During the first several months of this blog, I've posted a lot of my thoughts regarding the things that have been happening in my life. Somewhere along the way, my writing has diversified, and I have been blogging a little about everything, except, as it would appear, myself.

While I'm not out to reverse the trend in the topics I blog about, considering the interest and visitor feedback that those topics have generated, I thought it would be a nice change of pace to go back to this blog's roots and talk about my own humdrum existence, in this, and probably some future posts.

Seems timely as well, with Christmas just a week away. And with the non-working holidays coming up, I probably could use the writing to while away the time. :-)

Until then, hope you people stay tuned.

Happy holidays people. And hope you like my Christmas tree. :-)

Your blog is quite unique. It covers varieties of very interesting topics - a little of this and a little of that and of course what works well is your ability "To discuss the subjects" with great confidence and diplomacy. This is one of the reasons why I am becoming a frequent flyer of your blog and the other reason is your cordial approach and hospitality.

(me) Thinking how much travel mileage have I accumulated since my last visit here? Is it enough to claim my reward in time for the last minute gift ideas? (j/k)
I have not done my shopping yet and my Amex statement is sitting in front of me demanding that I pay on or before the due date. It says, $1.36 and the postage stamp required to send my remittance cost $0.50

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your boy.

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
