Wonderful news from CNN...
South African Oscar Pistorius, a double amputee, just won the right to be eligable to compete at this summer's Olympic Games in Beijing after sport's highest court backed his appeal against a ban imposed by athletics authorities.
Judging by the photo above, you'd see nothing but determination... running through his life. He's been a double amputee since he was a baby. Nothing makes him give up, he runs on shock-absorbing carbon-fiber prosthetics that resemble bent skis -- earning him the nickname "Blade Runner."
He's been running with those blades for a long time, this man ...
This is wise living.
I keep picturing this scene from Music and Lyrics where Hugh Grant (playing an 80's singer Alex Fletcher) hires Drew Barimore (as Sophie Fisher, who plays as plant caretaker) to water his apartment plants. Obviously, Alex doesn't care less what time his plants are fed and just keeps it for the "girls" so to say.
Well, for the Alex Fletcher's out there, here's a terrrific idea to consider. While I myself would take on any Sophie Fisher over this gadget, chances may be too slim to find one... even by accident.

I think nothing says "Go Green" more than a product that saves the greens we have left on earth. I've seen this JavaLog while watching Discovery Channel tonight. I am very impressed. This product alone must have saved millions of acres of trees. Sure, everyone needs to warm up and enjoy the crackling fire by the fireplace during chippy winter nights. One just needs to remind himself that everytime he throws a 5 lbs. log into the fire, it contributes to the environment... whatever left we have of it.
Java-Log is the most innovative, funky new fireplace ...
Has been quite some time since my last movie out. I've always wanted to see The Bucket List too. Is the film really good? There are some Jack Nicholson movies that I skipped because reviews weren't really great. I'd make The Bucket List an exception BUT hey, if some of you would say it's not worth the time. I'd skip this one too.
Jumping to a related topic I've asked a few of my friends about what's on their bucket list. Some came back with hilarious answers like the following:
Die my hair red - ...
You know what they say, a man is as good as the tools he has. What's a man to do if he couldn't say "ok darling no problemo"... or "leave it to the Hulkster sweetheart"
The Wenger Giant Swiss Army Knife - oh yeah... it's really a giant (no fun putting this in your pocket, really) - has no fewer than 85 implements capable of performing over 100 separate functions, from scaling fish to fixing bicycles. All of which makes it impossibly useful. Want a laser flashlight? No problem. Torch? Can do. Universal Wrench? Yup. Golf divot repair tool? ...
I thought that it only happened in the movies, but lately I've visited this website from MSN Lifestyle that says the movie plot isn't really that far from what's happening in reality.
Here's a great intro to this story from that website:
In 2006, America's honeybees started mysteriously abandoning their hives, never to return. Farmers -- many of whom rely on the pollinator to help their crops grow (almonds, apples, avocados, blueberries, broccoli, carrots, cherries, and onions are just a few of the foods that require pollination) -- are understandably worried, as are scientists, who fear the ...
During my school days my teacher would always catch one of my classmates sleeping during lecture. I kid you not, and I know you have fond memories that are alike. Sleep is important, it recharges the body with needed "idle" time. Muscles flex and contract the whole day and they just need to be put into "neutral" position. When the body says you need a shut-eye, it is hard to resist. To avoid embarrassment of being caught sleeping at inappropriate times follow these suggestions:
- set a schedule
- exercise
- avoid ...
You read it right, cool eh, I think this name will catch on real soon. Specially that the world's focus are on how oil prices that seem to be steadily rising (as of press time greater than US$100/barrel). And the weak US dollar isn't helping one bit too.
(Funny, but I don't think there is "oil shortage" these days. I haven't really heard any of the Middle Eastern oil rich countries saying "There's just too less oil we're pumping up")
Well the world is finally taking notice of a worthwhile alternative, BIO-FUEL, or the more popular tagged "Grassoline". It's been ...
According to Wall Street Journal, big technology firms are putting all their chips in and investing in wireless technology. Every major thing in the future will be built on wireless. Shopping, tourism, health, insurance, business, retail, communication, clothing... every major industry will be doing things wirelessly. While I do think most of these businesses are there already, WSJ is predicting that everyone will be there... everyone.
Here's an excerpt from WSJ:
"As early as Wednesday, an unlikely alliance of titans from the cable, Internet and chip industries will disclose they are investing $3.2 billion in a company ...
Americans & Europeans admit that homeland health care is just not right. It's so expensive to have a needed heart bypass for instance, let alone any organ transplants, they'r just our ot reach.
Take the case of James Payne for instance. Chicago Tribune reports, in their lifestyle and health section, that when he found out that he needed a liver transplant, he first tried to arrange the surgery at a top hospital in South Florida. Doctors there told him that they couldn't schedule the procedure for a few months (!) and that he needed $450,000 because ...

The devil made Miley do it
If you’re wondering why sexual perversions are happening left and right, front and back and every which way in the world today, why we have such a hideous sexual predator as Austria’s Josef Fritzl, one of the clues is staring at you right now.
Well, it’s not Miley Cyrus’ fault. Definitely not. This 15-year Disney megastar […] -

A Humble City
Hoi An is like setting foot inside one of those old Chinese movies. The elements are all there. From the low-tiled roofs to the narrow streets, Hoi An is a picture perfect replica of what ancient Vietnam used to be. The small city is located in the South Central Coast of Vietnam. In the 16th […]
