Did you see it?

Chocoholics, read this!

Are you a chocoholic? How about two bars of “super-strength chocolate specially formulated by Belgian chocolatiers” daily for one year? Interested? All in the name of medical science, of course!

Researchers at the University of East Anglia and a hospital in Norwich, eastern England are trying to find out whether chocolate can cut the risk of heart disease and need 40 women to step forward and help.

Oh, but there’s a catch here: volunteers should be menopausal but under the age of 75 and should have type two diabetes.

According to study coordinator Peter Curtis: “A successful outcome could be the first step in developing new ways to improve the lives of people at increased risk of heart disease.”

You’ve never seen overcrowded such as this!

Those are Hindu devotees traveling in an obviously overcrowded passenger train last July 22, 2009. The people came from a holy dip and prayer offering in the waters of Brahma Sarovar, a sacred pond, during the solar eclipse in the northern Indian city of Kurukshetra.

Thousands of people gathered for a dip in the Ganges because they believe that it is an act that will lead them to salvation from th cycle of life and death.

Before you list down your entry, let me just share with you this photo of the one they call The Ledge.

You can look down through a glass floor 1,353 feet (412 meters) above Wacker Drive in Chicago. The Ledge is part of Skydeck Chicago located on the 103rd floor of the Sears Tower. It opened to the public last July 2.

Let’s start visiting other bloggers’ entries now! I will come visit your entries tonight. I just have to go out this morning for an errand.

Happy WS everyone!

Awesome!

A brilliant photo showing lightning over the Uruguayan capital of Montevideo. Wow!

A flying stingray?

Amazing, isn’t it?

Weekend Snapshot’s new (temporary) home

I am excited!

I have been given the privilege to host a bloggers’ meme for the time being. Yey!

This blog will be hosting Weekend Snapshot!

My friend over at weekendsnapshot.com will be on a temporary hiatus and has kindly asked me if I could host the meme for now. I am grateful for the opportunity as hosting/joining memes can be a great way to meet other bloggers.

I am thinking of staying true to the old rules. Same rules except for the time when I will publish the Sunday post. I am thinking of posting it 10AM Manila time (10PM Eastern Time). Let me know if this will work for most members. And if you have suggestions as to the rules, don’t hesitate to tell me about it as well.

For now, let me welcome you to the new, albeit, temporary home of Weekend Snapshot! I hope you will still participate

Happy Sunday!

Look who’s back…

I apologize for being on a hiatus for a while. I have been busy with so many things and have not been online that much. But I am back!

More posts coming up!

Happy weekend!

Love the hair!

Robot with a soft touch

According to Reuters.com, this robot, presented during a demonstration at the FOOMA Japan international food machinery and technology exhibition in Tokyo, June 12, 2009, has soft pneumatic fingers that can handle delicate objects without crushing them. A fine example: handling plastic sushi.

Japan will never stop until they could finally clone a human robot. I bet sooner or later, they will be unveiling a robot with arms and legs that of human. And then a face closer to human’s. And then a body. And then…

Who knows?!
