As part of my problogging, I have been sent a few sponsors that have different tastes. This one posts about celebrity tattoos *PG* and I *do not* agree with the idea of featuring half clad celebrities. One could have simply posted the design, sans the individual, like the previous sponsor.
In some of my previous posts, […]
Many spas and salons have been mushrooming in the city recently. I accompanied a family friend to a spa once and felt very relaxed even at the entrance and receiving area only.
Whats so great about visiting a spa? The smells, the colors, the sounds—or the lack of sounds, aside from the water—the whole atmosphere, perhaps? […]
The news has been littered with celebrities being jailed and DUI for the past few weeks. You got Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan, Nicole Ritchie, and yep Britney’s in the news again. One would think it would end with Paris’ jail stint, but it seems to have become a bandwagon. Do they give out ‘I Went […]
I was at the dentist almost two weeks ago and would have appreciated some tips like this Beverly Hills rhinoplasty site has. I read an article long ago that mentioned that patients rarely remember anything after a procedure. How true! After my wisdom tooth extraction, all I wanted to do was lie down and sleep. […]
Rhytidectomy, more commonly known as a facelift, is a plastic surgery procedure designed to tighten loose skin in the lower third of the face, the jaw line, and the neck area. Good candidates for a facelift include healthy men and women who have a well-defined bony structure but are looking to improve sagging skin of […]

How do you ‘creatively’ explain and tell kids to turn off their mobile phones? Try telling them that their mobile phones emit sound waves and that it stops the speaker from transmitting the signal from a lapel mike to the speakers. That’s the gist of what the girl explaining sound waves.
For the record, a mobile […]
I had always thought that non-tropical countries would not hit the 30-degrees Celcius mark, but it the news today just mentioned that a heat wave just hit Europe. We are used to a mean temperature of 20-33 depending on the time of the year. We are, after all, a tropical country—hotter, more humid, and more […]

In the news last week was OLPC and Intel bury the hatchet—for the children. It says that:
After years of squabbling, Intel and Nicholas Negroponte have agreed to put their differences behind them and join forces in bringing PCs to children around the world.
Negroponte’s One Laptop Per Child project is bringing Intel on board as a […]
High School Musical at the Meralco Theater

Guilty as charged. I was over at the Meralco theater for an afternoon with the kiddies. Literally. More than 60% of the theater were kiddies probably aged 15 and below. A friend of mine invited me to watch it together with her three year old niece, so there we were four adults accompanying one kid.
