weekend is half over

before you know it, the weekend is almost over.  let see how i wasted it sat.

  1. woke up and went to gym for my first session of personal training.
  2. had brunch on my own and went to lucky to transfer some money.
  3. came home and pretty much wasted a few hours chatting online.
  4. packed up my computer (bought 15 Jun 08 sold 30 Aug 08) and brought it over to friend who bought it from me. help him set up.
  5. fetch 2 other friends and had dinner, chit chat.  sent everyone home.
  6. back home by 9pm. checked net a little.  fell asleep.
it feels like nothing substantial. no work done.  feeling today will be the same.  then i am back to monday blues again.

best looking solar charger

kinetic charger

more on the green initiative … this is a cool idea.  besides solar, kinetic energy is also clean renewable.  imagine having to go jogging with rechargeable batteries to get it to work.  but a better idea might be mobile phones working on kinetic energy as we do carry the mobile with us all the time.

love of siam …. love the movie … mario helps

highly recommended.  see my previous post on the love song.  for details of the story follow the link after this (movie story).   as how one blogger puts it:

“The story “Love of Siam” interestingly, does not follow any happy ending like other movies. It’s more on telling us to have hope, to reflect and tell us that we must always move on with our life. happiness and suffering will always come and go but we must always remember that the day darkness cover our sight, somewhere out there even if we did not know, there is a person that never stop loving you or never stop believing in you.”

love of siam … bangkok love story

just watch both movies.  prefer the love of siam.  although i think both are quite nice.  but i must admit, i fast forwarded both and only watched the “interesting” parts.  love of siam has a simple love song, innocents of youth, cute boys.  tug at the heart string.  imagine one of the boys writing and singing this song to the other:

If i say that i wrote this song for you,
Would you believe me?
It might not be as well-written or beautiful like other songs
I want you to know that a love song, cant be written if you’re not in love.
But for you, I can write this song so, easily
You might have heard hundreds or thousands of love songs.
They might be meaningful, but their meanings are for anyone.
 When you listen to this song, it is written only for you.
If you understand the meaning, our hears will be together, forever. 

(Chorus)
Let it be the song on the way along with only your and my voice 
That we’ll be together for all time.
Just like a verse that’s in a poem.
As long as you love, you still have hope.
Every time i see your love shining in my heart,
I see my destiny. 
There are so many truths in our love.
In the past, i spent too much tim looking for the meaning of it.
But now i know that every time you are near, 
that if our lives are a melody,
and you are the lyrics that make my life meaningful,
then together we make beautiful music.

(Chorus)

sweet wireless USB

super cool.  nothing better than working wireless.  form the picture it seems that macbook air is connected to the monitor and a wireless mouse all through wireless usb.  SWEET!

cannot wait for the technology to finally arrive.  if they have that built into the computers …. wait … how is that different from bluetooth?

weekend is nearing … so is 35

weekend is at the doorstep. kind of like started exercising a bit recently. have been eating and sitting on my butt for a while. work is piling up as usual … so much so i wrote an email to both my bosses yesterday just listing down all the work i am doing. hope they get the hint.

i took the plunge yesterday as well and sign up for 6 weekly personal training in the gym. i hope it will at least make me put in an effort to get fitter … thot i give this a try before i go the short and quick way of liposcrupture that will not give me a fit strong body anyway. should make use of the vanity in me to get fitter at least.

nice shadow

No idea where to get this but is a nifty idea.

korean gangster … fate

SYNOPSIS :

In the dark criminal world of Seoul, U-min (Song), Cheol-jung (Kwon), Do-wan (Kim In-kwon) and Yeong-hwan (Ji Sung) are close friends in a gang. One day, with the help of an older member Gang-seop (Ahn Nae-seong), U-min, Cheol-jung and Do-wan attack the gang’s casino so they can start new lives. But their plan goes awry when Cheol-jung betrays them, and U-min goes to prison. He becomes the scapegoat to save his friends’ lives.

After serving his time, U-min wants to stay out of trouble but is drawn back into the underworld when he sees what has become of his friends: money and power-hungry Cheol-jung continues to betray others as he climbs up the gang ladder; Do-wan is a drug user; Gang-seop is missing; and his girlfriend Eun-yeong (Park Han-byul) has left him to run a bar as the boss’ mistress.

As U-min tries to solve the situation, however, unfortunate twists of fate set off one misunderstanding after another. To make matters worse, the mob boss and right-hand man Yoeng-hwan get them involved in a huge drug deal. Once again thrown into a game with high stakes and big cash, the once best friends must fight one another for their lives.

solar light

very beautiful solar light.

“Corona is a solar-powered outdoor lighting system. It can be staked to the ground, attached to a wall, or simply placed on a table top. The Corona solar light’s photovoltaic cell transforms sunlight into energy during the day, and its LEDs automatically start to glow when the sun sets. It uses no glues or fasteners, making it simple to disassemble for recycling. The long-stemmed light features a solar voltaic cell that charges the LED surrounding the face. With its sleek form and the ability to detach the light from the stem, the Corona Solar light is the most versatile solar powered alfresco light. A beautiful solar-powered glow to your outdoor spaces.”

weekend is here again

been eating and eating and eating and have not exercise yet.  sigh.  putting on.  i better start the weekend warrior engine.  have 2 weeks to lose some pounds before my manila trip.  run run run!

wind of change … eco friendly

this is a remote that does not use any batteries.  apparently 30 rounds of the winding is enough to power the remote for up to 1 week.  isnt this just amazing? imagine the number of batteries the earth is saved from if all remotes uses this dynamo technology.

below is a solar power table.  4 hours of charge is enough to power 4 hours of 12 v.  but it is costing over 2,000 USD for now.

am sure more and more such innovation will be developed.  i still think this is the best time to go into such product design.  it will be the next big thing in the next 10 years.

Paris Hilton … hmmm … not so dumb afterall

Vote for Paris Hilton ‘enters’ election race with spoof ad

LOS ANGELES – PARIS Hilton has thrown her hat into the US presidential race, declaring her desire to campaign against ‘that wrinkly white-haired guy’ and threatening to paint the White House pink if elected.

The blond socialite responded to Republican candidate John McCain’s controversial use of her image in a campaign television spot last week with a satirical ad of her own posted on the website Funnyordie.com on Tuesday.

In the ad, the 27-year-old appears reclining on a sun lounger beside a swimming pool, dressed only in a skimpy leopard-print bathing costume.

‘Hey America, I’m Paris Hilton and I’m a celebrity too’,’ Hilton declares breezily. ‘Only I’m not from the olden days and I’m not promising change like that other guy. I’m just hot’.

‘But then that wrinkly white-haired guy used me in his campaign ad, which I guess means I’m running for president. So thanks for the endorsement white-haired dude, and I want America to know I’m, like, totally ready to lead’.

Hilton then offers an alternative US energy strategy, suggesting that she plans to combine elements from McCain and Democratic rival Barack Obama.

‘We can do limited offshore drilling with strict environmental oversight while creating tax incentives to get Detroit making hybrid and electric cars.

… Energy crisis solved, I’ll see you at the debates, bitches!’

Hilton then signs off by declaring that she is now mulling her choices for vice-president. ‘I’m thinking Rihanna’, she said, referring to the singer-songwriter.

‘I’ll see you at the White House’, Hilton adds. ‘Oh, and I might paint it pink. Bye!’ — AFP

executive iphone case

ok this is a nicer iphone case.  the leather makes it looks executive as well.  love the way the handsfree wrap around.  but am i suppose to put that into my pocket?

solar iphone case

with the recent oil prices and all, strongly feel solar is the way to go.  this i think is a very nice looking (as in out of everything available now) solar casing for the iphone.  will be nice not having to worry about the battery when i travel and can just plan games on it all day.
