It is possible to make people lie and perjure against somebody by threatening them. But what we must all realize is that lies may allow you to live a little longer but only the truth can set you free.

Chocolate to fight depression

It has been claimed that among other things, chocolate can help fight depression.

If true, this is great news.  I love chocolates and I certainly won't mind having them from time to time. The only reason I hold back from eating them more often is the sugar and I don't like resorting to artificial sweeteners either.

Since I can only have chocolates occasionally, I think of them more as a reward for achieving something instead of a cure that some chocolate researchers tout them to be.

Hoya mindorensis

Hoya mindorensis. Nahuli lang ako ng isang araw sa pagkuha ng litrato ganito na agad ang nagging itsura

Dahil sa nagandahan ako sa mga litrato ng bulaklak ng Hoya mindorensis, sinubukan kong mag alaga nito.

Pero dahil hindi naman talaga ako marunong at matiyagang mag-alaga ng halaman, medyo napabayaan ko ito.

Ganoonpaman, paminsan minsan, parang magagandang surpresa na bigla ko na lang makikita na nagbubulaklak na ang mga ito na parang ipinapaalala sa akin na huwag ko naman sila kalimutan.

Kanina lang ay ang Hoya mindorensis naman ang nagpakita ng kanyang bulaklak. Maganda nga sana ito pero sana ang ating mga siyentipiko o kahit mga plant enthusiast man lang ay magawang mapalaki ang mga bulaklak nito at mapatagal ang buhay.

Tulad halimbawa ng hoya sa larawan, ang bilis lumampas ng kaganapan ng pinakamagandang pamumulaklak niya kaya ganito na lang ang itsura niya ng maisipan kong kunan ng litrato.

Repurposed mosquito swatter

I think the electric mosquito swatter is a great idea. The problem with it though is that it breaks down easily but it is not as easy to repair if it can even be repaired at all. People have no choice but to discard broken swatters and buy new ones.

But just imagine the waste. If only there is a way to easily repair these gadgets or to repurpose them.

I am thinking that if there is a kind of slow drying adhesive that can be applied to the screen of the swatter, then maybe it will still be possible to use them. Instead of zapping the mosquitos they will just get stuck on the screen for removal later.

A security guard at a fast food outlet had a different idea however. Instead of catching mosquitos, he repurposed his swatter to catch flies.

For as long as the contraption works and remains useful, then for me it is still a good idea.
