Liquid Condom made in China

This is old news but it grabbed my attention and I could not resist posting it here.liquidcondom.jpg

The name itself scares me: “Nanometer-silver Cryptomorphic Condom“. I myself would not want my woman to be putting products that are made in China in/on her :P. I wonder if women in the Guangdong Province (bird flu?) are willing to try it out. (Click the photo to enlarge it.)

Maybe it is some sort of experimental product released in China for testing and the Chinese women are the guinea pigs. They say it forms a barrier-like foam inside the vagina, is anti-bacterial and has a lubricating effect. I say they should try it out on monkeys first before they use it in women all over mainland China! (OMG! If you were a woman, would you want foam inside your vagina?)

If you have used this, I would like to read your review on the product. Comments anyone?

tickedpink is sick

while the rest (mostly) of my batchmates are starting their review, i’m at home sick and tired. it started with a sore throat; swallowing became painful. then came the fever on sunday. maybe the trip to the beach saturday night for wenbert’s company outing helped trigger it. the fever’s been on and off since then. i’ve had sleepless nights and frequent vomiting. my run-in with bacteria (my tonsils are inflammed) has put me in some frustrating, awkward and well, funny situations.

there’s this famous pediatrician and family physician in our town. he’s really good. but the joke around town is if a dying patient goes to his clinic, he’ll die before the doctor can get to him. see, clinic hours start in the early, or worse, in the late afternoon… patients number up to 50 a day. but this soft-spoken doctor can only attend to an average of about 7 patients per hour. it’s not because he has a hard time diagnosing the treatment; he’s considered the best for miles, after all. it’s because he likes to make small talk, that well, usually stretches longer than the shores of liloan. so i was there last monday. i was patient #35. from 2 p.m. till 5 p.m., it was still at patient #23. i returned at 8:30 p.m. just in time for the doctor to take a break and eat dinner. it was already patient #30, so i hung around. it was 9:15 and still the doctor was out. then he had a personal visitor and frustrated, i resigned to my fate. i went home.

Anger management

Here is a snippet from Dani’s Blog:

This is a little long, but worth the ending. I could NOT stop laughing…

When you occasionally have a really bad day, and you just need to take it out on someone, don’t take it out on someone you know, take it out on someone you don’t know .

I was sitting at my desk when I remembered a phone call I’d forgotten to make. I found the number and dialed it. A man answered, saying “Hello.” I politely said, “This is Chris. Could I please speak with Robin Carter?”

Suddenly the phone was slammed down on me. I couldn’t believe that anyone could be so rude.

I tracked down Robin’s correct number and called her. I had transposed the last two digits of her phone number. After hanging up with her, I decided to call the ‘wrong’ number again. When the same guy answered the phone, I yelled “You’re an asshole!” and hung up.

I wrote his number down with the word ‘asshole’next to it, and put it in my desk drawer. Every couple of weeks, when I was paying bills or had a really bad day, I’d call him up and yell, “You’re an asshole!” It always cheered me up.

When Caller ID came to our area, I thought my therapeutic ‘asshole’ calling would have to stop. So, I called his number and said, “Hi, this is John Smith from the telephone company. I’m calling to see if you’re familiar with our Caller ID Program?” He yelled “NO!” and slammed down the phone. I quickly called him back and said, “That’s because you’re an asshole!” One day I was at the store, getting ready to pull into a

parking spot Some guy in a black BMW cut me off and pulled into the spot I had patiently waited for. I hit the horn and yelled that I’d been waiting for that spot. The idiot ignored me. I noticed a “For Sale” sign in his car window, so I wrote down his number.
A couple of days later, right after calling the first asshole ( I had his number on speed dial,) I thought that I’d better call the BMW asshole, too.
I said, “Is this the man with the black BMW for sale?”
He said, “Yes, it is.”

I said, “Can you tell me where I can see it?”

He replied, “Yes, I live at 1802 West 34th Street. It’s a yellow house, and the car’s parked right out in front.”

I asked, “What’s your name?”
He said, “My name is Don Hansen.”

I said, “When’s a good time to catch you, Don?”
His answer was, “I’m home every evening after five.”
I said, “Listen Don, can I tell you something?”

He said, “Yes?”
I said, “Don, you’re an asshole.” Then I hung up, and added his number to my speed dial, too. Now, when I had a problem, I had two assholes to call. But after several months of calling them, it wasn’t as enjoyable as it used to be. So, I came up with an idea. I called Asshole #1.

He said, “Hello.”
I said, “You’re an asshole!” (But I didn’t hang up.)

He asked, “Are you still there?”

I said, “Yeah.”
He screamed, “Stop calling me.”

I said, “Make me.”
He asked, “Who are you?”

I replied, “My name is Don Hansen.”
He inquired, “Yeah? Where do you live?”
My reply was, “Asshole, I live at 1802 West 34th Street, a yellow house,

with my black Beamer parked in front.”
He said, “I’m coming over right now, Don. And you had better start saying your prayers.”

I said, “Yeah, like I’m really scared, asshole.”

Human Mutation

Here are four stories of people who are physically deformed. The most interesting of them is a young girl who grew thorns on her arms after being pricked by a cactus she had at home.

When researchers studied the bigger thorns they arrived at a conclusion that they were no longer of vegetative origin. As a result of mutation, the patient got new unknown cells, some sort of a hybrid of a human and a plant. In other words, the young girl was turning into a cactus.

Another is a boy who had hair all over his body and face. And two people in their teens who look like war veterans. Very sad stories but very interesting too.

Have a nice day :-)

Be smarter at work, slack off

I got this from my officemate — Dani a.k.a Steelwater, the owner of On Women and Soulchow.

The Google example

If you doubt it, consider Google. On February 23, the company unveiled a new product called Page Creator, which allows people who can’t write HTML code to create their own web pages quickly and easily.

Within hours, this was such a smash hit that the company had to put a temporary limit on the number of Google (Research) users who can sign up for it.

Page Creator is the brainchild of an engineer named Justin Rosenstein whose relatives were constantly bugging him to build web pages for them. He came up with the elegant technology behind the product while noodling around at the office on a project unrelated to his regular job.

Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, Calif., is a famously laid-back place, replete with lap pools, massage rooms, pool tables, free haute cuisine, and loads of other stress-reducing amenities like onsite dry cleaners and hair stylists.

“We want to take as much hurry and worry out of people’s lives as we can, because a relaxed state of mind unleashes creativity,” says Stacy Sullivan, the company’s HR director. “And everybody’s on flextime here, so we don’t reward face time or working super-long hours. We just measure results.”

In the end, what else matters? Of course, not every workplace can match Google’s. But plenty of companies might do a lot worse than to emulate the thinking behind it.

Beer in Life

What makes you smile?

Beer makes a lot people smile. The effect of looking at cute puppies with watery eyes, i think, is the same with beer — minus the alcohol and the calories. That explains why I like beer. When people like to smile chances are, they’d do beer too.

Money makes you smile. But money does not last forever. We spend it with friends, family and on beer. The effect of money on people is like alcohol in your bloodstream. You feel the “happiness” it brings temporarily, then it gives you a hang-over. So the more money you have, the more beer you can buy thus the heavier the hang-over.

Friends make you smile. But who are really your friends? Can you tell your friends what you trully feel about a person? Will you trust your friend with your life? Will you let your friend know your deepest and darkest secret? And does your friend really know who you are? Friends are also like beer. You don’t really know the ingredients of beer just like you don’t who your real friends are. Sure, the more friends you have, the merrier. But the more beer you will have, the heavier the hang-over because friends are like beer.

Chix make you smile, hence they are like puppies. Puppies are like beer, so chix are also beer. It is always good to see someone who is easy on the eyes. We are only human. Men are human. And men are naturally attracted to sexy women — just like they are attracted to ice cold beer. To the ladies, if your guy looks at woman who is hotter than you, just think of your guy having a bottle of beer. Do not get angry or bitch-slap him. After all, it is only beer. And it is only one bottle. It does not mean that you are not hot (a cold beer), it just means that your guy wants to feast his senses on colder beer (hotter women).
