Caution: Some soft drinks may seriously harm your health

A new health scare erupted over soft drinks last night amid evidence they may cause serious cell damage. Research from a British university suggests a common preservative found in drinks such as Fanta and Pepsi Max has the ability to switch off vital parts of DNA.

The problem - more usually associated with ageing and alcohol abuse - can eventually lead to cirrhosis of the liver and degenerative diseases such as Parkinson's.

Of course, this bit of news will be squashed globally. Specially here in the Philippines.

Well, don't worry, it doesn't contain sugar..

Pearls Before Swine



I'm a realist. Living in the Philippines taught me be that.

The Philippine elections are over. The worse has passed. Now the worst is about to come.


Bill Gates as a Tech Psychic


Bill Gates has recently been prognosticating all over the place, offering his thoughts on the future of newspapers, television, advertising, communications, telephones and many other areas of business and technology.

But how good are his predictions, really?


Well, his vision statement for Microsoft was "A PC in every desktop". I guess old Bill is something of a tech psychic. But then again he was also purpotedly to say that 640K of Ram is enough for anybody...

Clink the lick.. i mean click the link to go to the article..hehehe

Five Feet Flat

Better known as Fivefeetflat over the net, this girl goes with a very diverse list of names - from Toto to Biw to Syobe (screen name not included), she has also rather taken in a handful of job titles as well.

* Full time work drone
* Part time instructor
* Freelance web designer, web developer, graphic artist and/or photographer
* Seasonal couch potato
* On call family driver

Join her in her sleepless moments as she blogs more on life in a 7-day work shift, trying not to breath in taller people's body odor, with a bowl of instant noodles and cubed cheese.


Do check out her pictures, that DSLR of hers really take nice pics of the Philippines and stuff happening all around her. What's up with those pics of fruits and flowers sprinkled sporadically around?

Oh and that image? It's done by uber filipino web comic artist Jonas Diego. She sure is a young hot asian chick in that get up. Rawr.

What can I say about the site? I guess she said it all already. I'm flattened.
