For emergencies (and no electricity) this sounds to be the most practical invention I had come across. Japan inventors never fails to come up with something good from bad experiences. take a look at this new charging station that TES NewEnergy came up with. You can simultaneously charge your phone and cook meals using heat and energy from a single source. image from here their target market

Now that the iPad 2 was finally launched, I wonder what would be the next product in line. I have not bought any iPads nor any of their other product lines. But I did plan and saved up to buy an iPod touch before they offered the 4th Gen. However, with the new gen being so much like the computer and too expensive I have to change my mind. Not because I can't afford it but because there are

We are back on business. This blog has been on private mode for more than a year to allow some writing and school time for the author. Now that school is over and the interest on different technologies is intense that ever, this blog is back for more interesting post. However, the blog will be focusing on technologies and product reviews from now on. Articles on food, bento, technology

We were busy on weekends but baking has been a neglected activity in the house. Last week, we tried cookies. We cheated. We used a pancake mix. And here's the result: cookies look too pale for me. Here's the batch of cookies that we had. and the "cheat"******Yesterday I tried bento. Since there is not much leftover in the house, I came up with a fruit

One of the subjects taught during my undergraduate studies is environmental engineering. One of the lessons I learned is that resources is important to keep a manufacturing running. It is actually a common sense. You preserve the environment because you are not living for just for today; there is the future to consider. The first thing that came to mind since getting green became one of the

Forgive me for writing personal stuff once in awhile. And this is one of those "personal stuff" that pops up every now and then.It caught me off guard. I was too self-absorbed I did not notice. Pardon me for overstaying your kindness. And for making you feel manipulated. And also for pushing you to the wall. I am at fault. It's not my upbringing or past experiences. I have been busy

I am not done with the declutter activities on this blog but it does not mean that updates stops from coming in.

Before the weekend finally starts we had few shopping done. We bought some books (which I will upload later when I get the chance again) for the birthday girl and other loots that we love. This is our latest baby: a telescopei know that it is not that high powered but the instructions says it can be zoomed 90X, making the moon and stars visible. TeeHee. I know that I had my solar system

I am still here. But rarely post something because nothing caught my fancy for awhile. No cute new technologies or science application to talk about. I have few photos to upload but I am too lazy or too busy to sit down and keep this blog updated. Maybe on the weekend I will get myself into writing something new, or interesting. Let the sunshine in. Have a great mid-week!

I have been looking for something to do as a hobby. But since I can not decide between sewing and baking, my search for the perfect free time activity remained unknown. Lately, hubby and I have been into baking. I wish we can come up with an online business so that we will be encouraged to bake more goodies. For now, I get busy looking at different goods that are Japanese-inspired. I love

Few minutes ago I was telling Hubby about paying attention. Lately I am losing focus because there are tons of things that were not scheduled but we have to accomplish with a very short notice. I have somehow exhausted. And that causes the procrastination stage that I am in right now. So I surf and play games online, neglecting everything about school and work. Tonight, I will cram. But for

I am not the type of techie that indulge on every gadget that pops up in the market. But I love surfing the internet and play games. Lately, I have been spending more time working with my computer finishing term papers. I am glad that there has been a wireless router in our house. With the wireless router, we were able to enjoy the internet everywhere in the house. I am glad I came across

I have been busy the past few weeks. People are getting colds and flu all around me. And I have to take care of kids who caught the flu. Before the month of February ends, I came down with the flu. So, what is colds and what is flu? According to USFDA, the two are almost similar. But flu or influenza when untreated can be serious because one can get pneumonia. How would you know if it is a

Most women I know uses beauty products to maintain their good looks. I have tried different beauty products myself and always settle for those which I think do not have bad effect in the long run. Although I am a fan of technology advancement, I always make sure that anything that touches my skin is natural and safe. Also, as a chemical engineer I understand that chemicals leaves residue

..maybe later tonight. I still have some school task to complete. I can't wait to finish working on this one so that I can start writing about technology and science application again. While waiting, why don't you enjoy popping this things? They are re-usable I think. If you love bubble-wrap, then this toy is a must grab for you.

It's 2009. Last year has been a tough year for me. I have fought many battles. I have lost some battles and loved ones. But 2008 is also a time of many opportunities that can not be missed. So, after the heart break last December I am officially blogging again. This blog has been neglected for too long.

I know that Christmas is near but I want to say my final goodbye to a great soldier who left this world last 15th. The family will miss you, GrandPa.

Blogging has taken the backseat for awhile. I have been cramming on everything as the Christmas break draws near. There are so many events and incidents that happened since October that I was not able to squeeze blogging into my schedule for awhile. But despite my absence in the blogosphere for awhile, I am so happy to note that there are traffic coming in. Thank you guys.I am back because

When I started my undergraduate degree I have no idea what will be my career after school. Even when I was in my last year in college, I am still clueless. Most people I met have almost identical reaction whenever they learn about my undergraduate degree. Thinking that this is a very difficult degree, they are wondering how one survives it. Well, depending on the student, chemical engineering is

Yesterday was the last day of our preparatory courses for the graduate studies. The last lesson we had is about accounting in the management context. I never took accounting in my bachelor's but was able to get a week of training on basic accounting last year. For an engineer like me, this is another side of mathematics that sometimes contradicts the rules taught in the engineering mathematics

Farsightedness, nearsightedness and astigmatism are eye problem that are often neglected since they are not considered disease. When these problems are not corrected this might lead to other personal difficulties and can trigger problems like migraine.

The weekdays had been hectic. I have been working the whole week real hard between the day job, part-time and graduate school pre-semester activities. On graduate studies, I am still trying to get the hang of it: listening to professors talking about things in a more formal way, meeting classmates who are older than me (others are younger) and additional hours away from home.

Finding something to do is not as difficult as it seems, but something that pays is a totally different issue. Although there are lots of things to tap for earning money, the biggest money generator nowadays are the online generators. I can attest to that.

I love sweets: chocolate, candies, cake and other form of comfort foods is always welcome on my budget. Lately, my friends and I are discussing the China dairy scandal and the precautions to be done.

I have been silent for awhile now. Not by choice though. The usual volume of work from my day job was reduced but going out to other places to promote the company had taken whatever time made available after the new staff was hired. So instead of getting it a little bit easier on the day job,I ended up doing more. No,no complaints here. I just want my share of readers to know that I am still here

Everyone is starting their own business. I wish I have my own business to run too since somehow its been part of my daily routine when I was younger: selling. With ebay and Multiply sellers kicking off it was not more than once that I have tried to come up with my own online business. Unfortunately I was not able to come up with something that is worth investing. And online business is great, if

We are still looking for a good neighborhood to settle down. For now, we are still staying at the folks' house, hoping that the vacant lot in front of their house will be offered at a lower price. I am still obsessing about the interiors and what will I do when we get our own nest. Found this cute chairs on Etsy. I am hoping to locate similar chairs locally. :)

The good thing about single hood is meeting new people. Dating is the more romantic side of meeting new friends which eventually may become more than friend. So, how do you approach a prospective partner? Pick up lines, as I've mentioned on my previous blog is important because first impression decides the start of a friendship.

I went to an optometrist the other day to change my eyeglasses. I have been experiencing migraine lately and it is becoming a problem with my work. While waiting for my new eye glasses, I had a small chat with the optometrist. We discussed what are the dos and don't s when it comes to eye care.

Meeting someone online or offline has been part of anyone's goal in life whether they are male or female. Falling in love is a consequence of meeting someone and getting attracted. But you do not just sit there and wait for someone to pass by and take you into his arms. Attraction comes when you meet someone but you have to be ready and presentable when opportunity knocks on the door. And

I have been contemplating for sometime now how technology affects the life of humanity. For years, I have thought that the engineering field offers a wider range of opportunity to choose from compared to other technical subjects.

I never heard of this fruit until I found one in our pantry at work. It looks like a flower bud and i was really curious because it has a beautiful shade. When I asked my office colleague what kind of flower is it, she told me that the boss brought them from one of the local University. Few days after I was called in for a meeting and finally I was able to get more information about this

...is now in a bottle. With the initiative of the balut producer from Pateros, the exotic food that people of the Philippines eat heartily though some have to close their eyes when eating, can now be bought in bottles. The good thing about this is that you will surely enjoy a gourmet balut 24/7 with the assurance that it undergo quality assurance and have a shelf life of two years. It comes in

Since I started the day talking about food, I might as well post here some of the things that I've enjoyed the past few weeks. During my best friend's twins' first birthday celebration, I stuff myself with good foods from Don Henrico's:I had pizza,and tasty chicken:then on my trip to Romblon I enjoyed the feast and the place:

This is not a food blog but I have to admit that when weekend comes the busiest part of our home is the kitchen. I am not a cook but I am a hearty eater and I love to discover new foods. During my University days, when I have to stay at the dorm when I am broke I used to chow on any ramen I can find in my food stock. But my love affair with ramen did not start there. As early as grade school. my

I have been searching the web on how to make bento. Today is my lucky day because finally I found a blog that I am looking for: bento and recipe. Well, Min min did not exactly wrote the recipe there but at least she identified the content of the bento box and sometimes she gives a brief how-to on her post. Want more? Visit her site and have fun.

I've always wanted a small spaced house. I don't have anything against big houses but I feel more comfortable with small houses better than big ones. I told my better half about my plans and he agrees that if we are going to have a small family, a small house with backyard,garden and enough space for the kids and dogs to run around is the best deal. I found these photos in the web and i think I

I found the color combination above in one of my Internet surfing.It reminds me of the good times I had with my best friends back in the University after our gym class. I can still remember the aroma wafting from that Dunkin Donut store in the corner of the street were we used to hang out during our fresh man years. I wonder if the place still exists.Have a bite.
