The Cebu City Skyline....

For some particular reason I often find myself drawn to panoramic aerial views. From the observation deck of The Golden Peak, 22 stories above the streets of Cebu City, I managed to snap a number of pictures of its skyline. Pretty breathtaking, if I may say so myself. :-)

Here's a couple of pictures of the eastern side, including a portion of the Cebu Strait and Mactan Island in the distance:

Here's a series of views along the west-northwest side of the city. Check out the sunset:

Along the southeast to the southwest side. While Cebu City was booming a few years back, things have seemingly slowed down a bit. Suburban residential areas stretch out almost as far as the eye can see:

I actually stitched these photos together to form one continuous panoramic picture of Cebu City. Unfortunately, I'm unable to post it here because of size and formatting limitations. But I'm sure you get the picture. :-)

Thanks. It has been a while for me too. Before the last trip I think it was still in 1997 when I last went there. :-)

I'm sure in time you'll be able to go back to visit. :-)

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
