Shower Shock Caffeinated Soap

I am not really a coffee drinker or passionate for any caffeinated drink for that matter, except if we are talking about the caffeine in chocolate bars (yum!). I just can’t stand the bitter taste of coffee because according to me, I am a super-taster. I always go for chocolatey drinks like Swiss Miss or the better alternative to coffee, green tea, served either hot, warm, cold, with or without milk.

I am also not a morning person, which basically means I hate waking up early in the morning (or evening, if I work the night shifts), and most of the time, I come to office half-asleep and cranky. Not a very good way to start my day (or night, whatever). So while I was checking stuff at
ThinkGeek :: Stuff for Smart Masses, I found this caffeinated product that might actually work for me and stop my cranky morning spell!

Random Randomness

I apologize because I am too tired and too lazy to write something up for you. I tried as hard as I can to think of something to write but I guess nothing gets in. I am just too tired to do anything.

So why am I writing this? I am just waiting for my nifty Perl script to do its magic since I am working at home for tonight. This is a free service that I do sometimes for the love of the company I work for. I also tried to come to office but, yeah, I am too tired.

Man Creates Bungee Cord Out of Condoms

Yes, it is true. Someone has made an unconventional method of bungee jumping, with a little help from a sturdy rope made up of 18,500 condoms. Uh-huh, condoms. But before you go and say, “Ewwww…”, let me tell you a little something about the brave man who managed to live to tell the tale after putting his life at the hands of rubbery contraceptives.

Discovery Channel’s Build A House in One Week

I am such a sucker for Discovery Channel shows and I know I can’t get enough knowledge watching TV for an hour. Why an hour? Because it is all the time I can allocate in my super busy life as a sister, girlfriend, night shift system administrator, student driver attending driving school, and a trying hard blogger.

One of the most fascinating and very educational shows I have seen in quite a while is an episode of How Do They Do It? where they showed how houses are built in a week.

We both have the same preferences on phones like the brand and design and luckily, we both like Sony Ericsson phones. Nokia is very popular in Philippines but Nokia designs are kind of boring and almost everyone uses Nokia.
