Massacre....

As part of my office's 11th year anniversary celebration, a number of colleagues and I helped coordinate a goodwill exhibition match between a selection of the best players in our office and the San Miguel Basketball All-Stars.

The game was held yesterday, and as expected, it was nothing less than a massacre. The All-Stars, featuring some of the best players to ever suit up in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA), such as Ato Agustin, Vince Hizon, Pido Jarencio, Joey Santamaria, Bobby Jose and Cris Bolado made mincemeat of our team's defense, outscoring them by more than forty points when the final buzzer sounded. And they weren't even trying.

Oh, of course it was all in good fun. :-)

It was certainly a treat to watch the former PBA stars in action, not only for myself, but for the hundreds of officemates who took time out from pencil pushing to watch the game. While most of the All-Stars are retired from the PBA, they obviously haven't lost their touch, scoring effortlessly whether from under the basket or beyond the 3 point arc.

Kudos to our team as well, for putting up a good game. Of course, no one really expected them to win. :-)

By the way, if you're wondering what office I work for, keep wondering. I haven't mentioned the name in this post. :-)

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...
