Read on, this is very interesting!
6. When you go to a party or social gathering you...
Save for its omission of the portable fusion generator I'm working on in my garage, Time magazine has done a bang-up job of rounding up the 50 best, most innovative, and most potentially life-changing inventions of the year.
41. The Peraves MonoTracer - Even if you don't ride a motorcycle, you've got to love the enclosed design of this two-seater-two-wheeler. Sadly, these designs never seem to come to the U.S.
33. Biomechanical Energy Harvester - Walking around wastes endless energy. Why not capture some of that power to charge gadgets while you're striding? When they build this technology into sneakers it's going to be huge.
24. Bionic Contacts - Bringing you your personal HUD, for real.
14. The Mobile, Dexterous, Social Robot - It's only a matter of time before they start replacing us bloggers.
13. The Memristor - A theoretical electronics component becomes a reality 37 years after it is hypothesized. Could change just about everything about computers over the next 5 to 10 years.
11. Green Crude - Gas from algae. Delicious, nutritious, car-fueling algae.
10. The World's Fastest Computer (Picture right) - Always fun to see these supercomputer cats one-up each other. The Roadrunner broke the petaflop barrier and is now installed at Los Alamos National Laboratory where it plays Tic-Tac-Toe against itself all day long.
5. The Large Hadron Collider - Even if it makes a black hole that destroys the earth, it'll be worth it because it's that cool.
2. The Tesla Roadster - A 125 mph electric car. Definitely want.
1. The Retail DNA Test (Picture right) - For $399 you can find out what your risks are for developing genetic-based diseases -- and how your hypothetical children might fare, as well. I'm deeply afraid of these tests because I'm already totally paranoid about my health as it is. I badly bruised my foot this week and a little web searching had me convinced it was a life-threatening brown recluse spider bit. Do I really need my genes telling me I have an 80 percent chance of Alzheimer's? Yikes. Still, very cool idea and finally affordable.

1. Junk food makers spend billions advertising unhealthy foods to kids.
2. The studies that food producers support tend to minimize health concerns associated with their products.
3. Junk food makers donate large sums of money to professional nutrition associations.
4. More processing means more profits, but typically makes the food less healthy.
5. Less-processed foods are generally more satiating than their highly processed counterparts.
6. Many supposedly healthy replacement foods are hardly healthier than the foods they replace.
7. A health claim on the label doesn't necessarily make a food healthy.
8. Food industry pressure has made nutritional guidelines confusing.
9. The food industry funds front groups that fight antiobesity public health initiatives.
10. The food industry works aggressively to discredit its critics.
Who'd win in a fight, Batman or Sub-Zero? This perennial playground puzzler will be answered on November 10, when the worlds of Mortal Kombat and DC Comics are married in a video game. This isn't going to be one of those happy storybook weddings, though: as you'd expect from a Mortal Kombat-style fighter, lots and lots of domestic violence is in the cards. With the likes of Catwoman, Superman, The Flash and Wonder Woman taking on the Mortal Kombat cast, it's a hero's dream come true.
From: http://videogames.yahoo.com/feature/seven-super-superhero-games/1255484LJ Smith has announced on her website | ljanesmith.net that she is halfway through writing a new Vampire Diaries story, initially titled Damon (with the new series currently marketed as The Vampires Diaries: The Return, and the first new Diary simply called Damon), picking up where Dark Reunion finished. She was also written a short story entitled Blood Will Tell, considering what might have happened had Stefan decided to drink the blood of Matt, Meredith and Bonnie. Scenes from this story expand on the frisson between Bonnie and Damon that was hinted at in Dark Reunion, and which could be expanded on in the fifth book, released on March 1st, 2009.
Okay, thanks to Arnie for leading me this. You are so lapad! Hahaha. Dahil sa iyong curiosity, I ended up knowing this. I benefitted from your spoiler instincts, your lapad- err, highness. XD
This is so cool. XD I want to read Jez and Morgead's Night-out, the untold tale. The Vampire Diaries fifth is.. unexpected. I thought it was only until Dark Reunion. I want to read Blood Will Tell which is like an alternate ending for Dark Reunion.
I also want to read Jez and Morgead's Night Out. Okay. I want to read everything. Hahaha. Love love the Redferns. Love love the Kellers. XD
So here are the stuff in the site: Blood Will Tell, Thicker than Water, Brionwy's Lullaby, Ash and Mary-Lynette: Those Who Favor Fire, and Jez and Morgead's Night Out.
Cool. XD
Ehem. CHAM. YOUR FAULT. Yes. Your fault for introducing me to these, you vampire you. XD Love em high school days. XD
Dear Mrs. Biavati,
I'm sorry my homework isn't ready, but it wasn't my fault!
This morning, a strange mink crawled in through the garage. It sneaked into the bedroom where my books and homework were. I grabbed my PSP and threw it at the mink but I missed and it grabbed my homework and ran into the kitchen. I yelled at it real loudly, but that didn't help, so I quickly put Hero-Heroine on my stereo and turned the volume way up, hoping to scare it away. Instead, it started to hop around like it was dancing!. It hopped so wildly, it knocked a glass of tequila off the coffee table and spilled it all over my homework. I guess the mink really liked the taste of tequila.
So, that's why homework isn't ready... that strange mink ate it! I think a similar thing happened to Win recently, so it must be a common problem here at UST.

Next week is hell week. Gonna have preliminary exams. Omaygad.
So much to do. So little time.
Sigh.. I miss everyone. :c
LOL. Seriously. I dunno what has gotten into me. I just have this urge to write about what I want to happen in the future. Okay. Let's get started.
Hmm.. Since I am still in college. Of course, I want to graduate. Honestly, I want to go to medical school after microbiology but then, I want to practice my profession. But I want to be a doctor. But I want to be a microbiologist. But I want to be a doctor. LOL. A pediatrician, specifically.
Hahaha. There are some things in life that keep you from pursuing something. Por ejemplo? I want to have my own place when I graduate. I want to earn. Who doesn't? I want to earn. NOW. LOL.
If I go to medical school, I will end up not being able to get a place of my own because I won't earn. Well. It simply means that I will still ask Dad for tuiton fee and allowance. He said it isn't a problem, money. But then having heard so much from my mother, grandmother, and other relatives, made me think that what my dad is saying ain't real. Ain't that funneh? =p
Okay. If I can't get to medical school. I will most probably go to graduate school. Yes, why not? My point is that I don't want to graduate with just a "B.S.". I am not ismol-ing other people ha. Pero if I only, well, achieve "B.S. Microbiology," okay lang. Sus. I love it anyway.
Hahahaha. Ang gulo ko.
Anyway. So I want to work. There. I want to be like Mam Dedeles. XD
Ay wait, before graduating pala. There is one thing... THESIS. Omaygad. T.T
So here are my choices:
> Parasitology - Sir Cauyan - Hahahaha! Lurv it!
> Mam Dedeles, whatever topic. Thumbs up, said the higher batch. I know naman. ^.^
> Sir Abrantes - Medical Microbiology
> Sir Tom - Some people say he ain't bad too. Hahaha. Fungi fungi. T.T Slime molds. @.@
I haven't given it much thought.. XD
Ay. One more thing. I want to work sa TARC. Kahit isang araw lang. Experience lang. Please. XD
