Hershey's Truck....?

We've heard of hydro, electric, cooking oil, bananas and tin cans (from back to the future) powered cars, but have you heard of a chocolate powered car before....? Yes, another one of my bizarre stories....!

Two British adventurers are preparing to set off on an expedition to west Africa in a lorry powered by biodiesel made from waste chocolate.... The Ecotec team with their chocolate diesel vehicle Andrew Pag, 34, from Croydon, south London, and John Grimshaw, 39, from Poole, Dorset, will drive more than 4,500 miles across the Sahara to Timbuktu, in Mali, to raise awareness of green fuels.... Their lorry, called "the Bio-truck", runs on a fuel created by a Lancashire-based producer, Ecotec, which has developed a process to turn chocolate misshapes into biodiesel....

But they will not be able to dip into their tank of hot brown whatever they are if they feel hungry as the biodiesel does not look or smell like chocolate at all....! What about the taste....? The fuel is made from cocoa butter extracted from the waste chocolate.... Most of the chocolate would otherwise end up in landfill....

Parang Hershey's Car ano he-he....! Kung ako nga kapag nag-travel pauwi ng pinas ay iilang packets lang ng chocolates ang dala, itong kotse na to ay isang punong tanke ang dala not to mention the reserve tanks inside the car-boot pa ha-ha....! Di kaya sila langgamin sa dami ng sweets na dala nila....?! This is what i call a sweet way to travel....! Astig....! =D

Federal Election....

Australians right across the country are casting their votes today, as polling booths in every states and territory open for the federal election.... Alam ko na hindi nyo alam pinagsasatsat ko ngayon dito at hindi nyo rin kilala kung sino-sino tong mga unggoy na to sa pictures unless na sinusubaybayan nyo talaga ang politika namin dito sa downunder he-he....! This is a big day because we are going to decide who the future leader of the country is going to be.... Just like the election for president dyan sa pinas pero hindi nga lang kasing gulo.... Australia is about the size of america but we only have less than 20 million population dito....

I just want to give you a slight taste of our politics here in downunder because today i'm going to cast my first vote for the 2007 Federal Election.... Any moment from now ay malalaman na kung sino nga ba sa mga Prime Ministerial candidates na to ang syang tatanghaling kampyon....

This is my first time to vote in a federal election and also my first to vote in Parramatta City kasi nun sa Merrylands na suburb ako nakatira kung kaya dun din ang polling station ko.... Hindi ko rin alam kung saang polling area ako kasi nung nag-check ako kanina sa net ay madami palang polling stations tong parramatta kaya medyo dapat agahan ko ngayon just in case na wala ang pangalan ko dun sa ibang polling areas para mahanap ko dun sa iba pa ng masmaaga.... By the way, the picture inset are the candidates for prime ministerial position except the person in the middle....

JOHN HOWARD - If you've heard of him ,he's the current prime minister of australia.... He's been serving australians for 11 long years now.... He's a winner of numerous federal elections and people seems to find it hard to let go of him.... But they said that he's a liar too, a mister empty promises to some, to apologise is not his cup of tea, and interest rates and things such as house prices are rising during his terms.... He's also a friend of George Bush during the war in Iraq, in short, tuta....! Sadly, if he wins this election again, at some point in time (estimates is within 8 months only) he will retire and pass the seat to his trusted treasurer Peter Costello.... No good....!

PETER COSTELLO - The treasurer, australias second big man, and the future successor of Mr. Howard.... He said that Howard promised him the seat before.... People said, let's see about that mr. treasurer....! He really thought that he could get away with the throne that easily without even competing with Kevin Rudd in the candidacy.... But put it this way, kung halimbawa tumakbo man sya for prime minister, wala namang magtitiwalang magbigay ng boto nila sa kanya....! So bakit nila hahayaang manalo si Howard at ipapasa lang pala ang pagka-prime ministro kay Costello pagkatapos di ba....? Wrong move Howard, you shouldn't have told the public about your crooked plans with Costello....!

KEVIN RUDD - Labor Party leader, not so experienced but has a lot of positive plans, he can speak mandarin while John Howard can only eat mandarins....! The asian community said that this guy's grandfather is a chinese.... His eldest daughter married a hong kong man, and his youngest daughter's boyfreind is from mainland china.... I'm not sure if that rumor is true or not.... But then if it is a correct information, therefore i conclude that he's an asian friendly person which makes me happy as an asian too....! Some aussies said that he will bring asians to control downunder in the future.... I said, who gave them that idea....? Have you heard of the word Symbiosis before....?! Howard said, he will bring back the unions.... I said, good....! A Howard supporter said, Rudd's union leaders are racists and they hate asians in particular.... I said, what....?! Almost the majority of union members are asians as well as their soon to be champion man has something 25% or so of that blood circulating in his veins....! Are you crazy....?! Basta ako at the end of the day ay kay Kevin Rudd pa rin okay....!

At yan po ang election namin dito sa downunder.... Alam kong wala kayong naintindihan dyan sa mga pinagsusulat ko at lalong hindi nyo kilala tong mga pinag-uusapan natin he-he....! Pasensyahan nyo na lang po tong astig nyong lingkod at masyado lang na-carried away dun sa first prime ministerial poll nya....! Anyways, malalaman nyo dito kung nanalo ang kandidato ko at malalaman nyo rin kung hindi dahil tatahimik ako nun at kakalimutan ko na tong topic na to he-he....! Excuse ko lang po to for not blogging and blog-hopping today....! Anyways, i'll try to visit all your blogs tonight, yan ay kung hindi pa ako lasing sa celebration....! Joks lang, i will blog-hop later tonight after the counting....! =D

PM Election Results later here....

As of 8:00 PM tonight, KEVIN RUDD wins election wooohooo....! Sabi ko na nga ba ha-ha....! Congratulations to our New Prime Minister....! Well done....! =D

No more bottled water....

A universal accessory, the water bottle will soon be a thing of the past here in australia.... Councils are planning to ban the plastic bottles from their respective suburbs because of the damages it can cause to our environment.... Recent survey reveals that the bottled water is increasing around 10% per year as well as the improper disposal of the plastic bottles.... The government is worried that if the problem is not tackled sooner, at some point in time it can escalate to an irreversible level at mahihirapan na silang ayusin pa ito....

There's nothing wrong with drinking tap water naman sa palagay ko.... Kailangan lang siguro nilang maglagay ng madami pang taps o gripo lalo na sa mga public places kung saan madaming mangangailangan ng drinking water like parks, department stores, movie houses, schools, church, beach (may tubig na rin dun kaya lang maalat he-he....!) sidewalks, etc.... The thing is, mahirap talagang baguhin ang isang kulturang nakasanayan na natin ng mahabang panahon kaya sa tingin ko ay hindi ito madaling gawin....

Lalong-lalo na kapag hindi ka sanay na uminom straight from the taps.... Pwede ka rin namang magdala ng sarili mong water purifiers and filters just in case na hindi mo na kayang umabot pa ng bahay mo at talagang inum na inom ka na....! Nowadays Portable Water Alkalizer, purifying containers and filtered containers whatever you call those are already in different shapes and sizes, of course mukha pa rin itong drinking containers at hindi hugis papaya o palayok....!

Nakakatawa lang isipin na in the future ay hindi lang toilets, ATM machines, movie houses, terminal ng bus ang pinipilahan kundi pati na rin ang mga gripo ng tubig....! Sa pinas siguro ay ordinaryong tanawin lang to dahil sa kondisyon ng pamumuhay natin dyan, pero sa isang maunlad na bansa na kagaya dito sa downunder ay medyo nakakatawa nga tong tingnan....!

In some parts of the world particularly in africa where water is so scarce, people will drink just anything liquid regardless of the quality and its source just to survive for at least another day.... Sometimes they've even shared a muddy pool with their horses and cattles para maka-inom lang ng tubig....

Mapalad pa nga sila dito na kahit magmumukha lang silang nakiki-share ng tubig dun sa mga ibon sa park in the future, ay at least malinaw at malinis naman ito.... E ano ngayon kung habang kasalukuyan kang sarap na sarap dun sa pag-inom ng refreshing na tubig galing dun sa bird-bath basin sa may park ay nagtatampisaw naman si ibong pipit at ang boypren nya dun sa harap....! Ayaw mo pa nun, may malamig na tubig ka na, may libreng entertainment ka pa ha-ha....! =D

Isang patak na gatas....

I can't help it, i'm a bit stuck with bizarre stories nowadays he-he....! Medyo nawili lang ng kunti dun sa mga kakaibang pangyayari....! I don't know if you've already stumbled on this one today.... It was on the breakfast radio this morning while i was in the shower and it sounds so weird to me that i've started looking for it in the web today para ilagay lang dito.... Is this a classic case of reality disconnection....? A speaker's unprepared appearance....? Or baka sabog lang sya talaga nun time na yun kaya ganun he-he....! Baka all of the above din he-he....!

Paul McCartney's estranged wife Heather Mills monday accused consumers of meat and dairy products of fueling global warming, as she launched a vegan campaign at London's famous Speaker's Corner.... Mills, who is engaged in an increasingly bitter divorce battle with the former Beatle, suggested that people could drink the milk of rats or cats, rather than milking cows.

First of all, ano kaya lasa nun....? Pangalawa, gaano ba kadaming gatas ang makukuha natin sa isang daga....?! Isang patak, kalahating patak, o wan-port sa patak....?! Aba'y napakamahal naman na gatas nun....! Ano kayang machine ang pwedeng gamitin para gatasan ang daga ano....? Citrus Press pwede kaya....? Iilan kayang daga ang makakapuno sa isang feeding bottle ni beybe, mga wantawsan rats....? Ilang beses naman kung dumede si beybe in one day....?

Naku po, at sumasakit lang ang ulo ko sa ka-calculate kung gaano kadaming mga daga at pusa ang masa-shock sa news na to....! Papayag naman kayang gatasan yung mga daga at pusa....? Anong say nyo Minggay and Bubwit....? At pagtinanong nyo ako kung anong lasa nung gatas ng pusa, sigurado akong lasang daga yun he-he....! Yuk....!

Ganito siguro talaga ang takbo ng pag-iisip ng mga Rich and Famous ano....? Basta na lang magsasalita kahit na walang solid-grounds....! Ito galing dun sa isang kasamahan ko sa trabaho, not from Pepe's big mouth to ha.... Sabi nya, " when you'are rich you can have whatever things you've wanted in life....! Good food, cars, motorbikes, clothes, furnitures, jewelries, houses, horses, boats, planes, travels, and lots and lots of girlfriends.... Later on you'll get bored having girlfriends that you will then get yourself some boyfriends too....!" Ha-ha....! Kaya ako kuntento na sa just enough lang.... At least everystep of the way ay madami pa rin akong nakikitang mga surprises na nagbibigay kulay sa life ko.... Wow life daw o he-he....!

Ano naman kaya lasa nung gatas ng butiki....? Teka, may gatas ba ang butiki....? Heh! Tama ka na nga dyan Peng....! Turn-off na muna tong utak ko bago lalo pang gumulo tong usapan natin mamya he-he....! =D

Hi-pluckers....

Here's another bizzare story.... A woman was arrested at an international airport because she was found carrying a deadly weapon called TWEEZERS....! What the....?!


I think the movies and gaming industries are partly to be blame on all these confusions because movies and games nowadays are so walastic-realistic that most of the time it is very hard to tell between a movie and the reality....! Both worlds get so tangled-up with each other up to the point of exaggerating and extrematizing (i've made-up that word he-he! ) things na in the real world, not only on the side of the offenders but the side of the defenders as well....! Resulta, nawawalan na tuloy tayo ng tiwala sa mga bagay-bagay at lalong-lalo na sa isa't-isa di ba-di ba....?! O-ha, daming double words he-he....!


Would you believe that during the september 11 bombing of the Trade Center i was in the lunch room at work to get a glass of water when i've started wondering what that commotions was all ABOUT....! I saw everyone staring at that program on tv and i saw people jumping off the building, but i really thought that it was just a movie....! It took me about 3 minutes to finally realise that it wasn't....!


Anyways, this lady was then questioned about a lot of things including why did she carry that pair of tweezers inside her bag at the airport....? Was she planning a terrorist act....? Ano ba naman yan....! Puro lasing yata mga airport security nila na yun....! Terrorist act with a pair of tweezers....?! Napaka-astig na accusations naman nun....! Ano, pupunta sya sa may cockpit ng mga piloto at saka sasabihin nyang, " take this plane to Syberia or i'll pluck you two to death! " Ganun....?


Pano naman yung tinidor na pinapagamit sa mga pasahero ng eroplano....? Di ba mas-deadly ang mga yun kompara dun sa tweezers....? Baka darating ang araw na nakagapos o di kaya nakapusas nang lahat ng pasahero sa eroplano for safety reasons ha-ha....! Okay exaggeration time na to....! Ano-ano pa kayang mga bagay sa palagay nyo ang pwedeng gamitin sa pag-hijack ng eroplano....? Credit cards, lipstick, mobile phones, karayom at sinulid, tatlong beinte singko ni Dingdong Avansado, paper roses ni Jolina M., bikining itim ni Joey M., isang tasang kape ni Pepe, sitaw, bataw, patani....! =D


Kaya tuloy kamuntik nang mawala din yung tatlong fishing rods ko na dala nung umuwi ako the last time nung sinita ako dyan sa may international airpot natin....! Akala siguro nila ay dismantled na Bazooka ang dala ko dahil nakalagay pa ang mga to sa malaking tube ha-ha....!


Hay naku, pasensya tayo at nandito tayo sa magulo at weird nating mundo.... Ba't naman kasi may mga tao sa mundong pananakit lang ng kapwa ang palaging nasasaisip....! Magti-text na lang kaya sila o di kaya mag-blog buong maghapon like the rest of us, enjoy at peaceful pa sigurado tong buong mundo natin he-he....! =D

Vintage Weight Loss....

Here's something bizarre, as usual nabasa ko na naman sa isang article he-he....! In the US during the early days daw, Tapeworms are being used to get rid of those extra-bulges of fat in the body.... In other words taba....! Ow....! Niluloko nyo naman yata kami dyan....! This can't be true....! Or it might be true in the ground na tirhan ba naman ng katakutakot tapeworms ang katawan mo ay talagang mangangayayat ka nga naman chong....! At baka matigokok ka pa nga he-he....!

In the early 1900s daw, a "nutrient absorption" product appeared in the US. They call it an early version of Xenical... It's a "Fat Blocker" a slimming pill that prevents one third of the fat calories in your diet from being absorbed and thus converted into fat. "No diet, no baths, no exercise. FAT - the enemy that is shortening your life - BANISHED. How? With sanitized tapeworms - jar-packed"

No baths? What? I didn't know that bath can help you lose weight too....! Ligo ba ibig sabihin nila dito....? Ano kayang klasing ligo yun....? Baka naligo sa pawis kaya ganun ha-ha....! Baka Sauna Bath 'ka nyo....! Kayo talaga, alam nyo namang inglis kamatis tayo pa bath-bath pa kayo dyan....! Mey yo komplits the sinteyns naman neks taym oki....?

The product appears to be legitimate and was referenced in a 1999 diabetes journal.... Every segment of the tapeworms inside the bottle or whatever kind of packaging they've used before are said to have "no ill effects and are easily swallowed...." Yuckh....! So all we have to do is swallow that and let the worms do their stuff afterwards....! Double yuckh....! Ano ba yan....! Parang isang paketing superlong-ghetti pasta na nakikitira at continuously pang dumadami sa bituka nyo....! Pasensya na po sa mga kumakain dyan he-he....! Sa mga desperadong pumayat naman po, never ever do this at home oki doki....? Magpagutom na lang muna kayo at medyo mas sosi pa to kesa naman dun sa mamamatay kayo sa dami ng bulate sa tyan ha-ha....! Tigil na nga muna natin topic na to at nawawalan na tuloy ako ng ganang mag-breakfast....! =D

My Bonsai tree....

Last time i've mentioned in my other posts that i'm a little short of money these few weeks.... Lately my pocket was slightly recovering from that a bit kaya medyo nakakahinga ako ng kunti ngayon.... Last thursday, a blessing from some unknown sources (alam nyo na kung saan) came to my aid and gave me a bit of hope and confident budgetwise.... You want to know what that one was....? Two years ago i went on holiday back to pinas and we ate at Chow King's several times....

One time, we bought some fortune cookies there, and we cracked them open and look what it says inside.... One was just a set of five numbers.... Itinago ko yun sa wallet ko tapos ay tinatayaan ko minsan sa lottery dito.... Last thursday, i've won $AUD 688.00 in crispy cash...! Astig....! Mas-excited pa yata yung shop keeper na australian born pinay yata yun kesa sa akin dahil medyo nanginginig pa mga kamay nya habang nagbibilang he-he....! Ang sabi pa nya, kung nakakuha lang daw sana ako ng isa pang tamang number ay malamang mga around $AUD 600,000 nang talaga raw ang napanalunan ko nun....! I will definitely go back to pinas and start something kung nangyari lang sana yun he-he....! I didn't went on a spending spree that day kasi nga kare-recover lang ng bulsa ko nun.... But i bought myself a pot of BONSAI FIG TREE na nakita ko sa isang flower-shop for 55.00 bucks only....! Have a look....! =D
