lightning
take a look at these photos taken from the presently erupting Ejafjallajokull (ay-yah-FYAH-lah-yer-kuhl) volcano in Iceland:
photographers have reported seeing these spectacular bolts of lightning which seem to have come from the volcano.
neat huh?
i wonder what the science behind this phenomenon is.

SPAM is evil
and i am talking about the food, not junk mails
being too lazy to cook lunch, i decided to open up a can of juicylicous SPAM (which has been in my food storage for a while now), cut them into thin slices and then heat them up on the stove. i didn't use any oil to heat the slices up as the pan i used is non-stick. look how much oil accumulated inside the pan after all the slices has been heated (errr... fried)
that's about two tablespoons of fat and cholesterol. haha
still ate the stuff though... nothing beats the taste of pure evil. *hehe

MMDA's Go Green Metro
i'm currently loving the new color of foot bridges here in the metro:
although i am a big fan of pink, the hue (hot pink, whoa!) that MMDA previously chose for the footbridges is really an eye sore.
repainting the bridges green is part of MMDA's new program, Go Green Metro, which is in line with the celebration of Earth Day this month. Apart from footbridges, all fences, urinals and flyover will be painted green as well.
plus, we can also look forward to more trees lining our streets:
weeping figs (Ficus benjamina) will be planted on center islands of major and secondary roads... i have a concern however on root system of this tree. according to wikipedia:
i wonder how the MMDA will handle the destructiveness of this tree's roots. i hope they have a plan/mitigating measure in mind.
anyways, i'm just so happy to see more green things here in the metro. for the Earth!
refreshing green =)

The United States Forest Service [1] in Fact Sheet ST-251 states "Roots grow rapidly invading gardens, growing under and lifting sidewalks, patios, and driveways."

cables
rusty tools

i feel like a boy =|
blurry vision and a lot more
my eyes have been really blurry since last week. dunno if it is due to lack of sleep or my eye grade has really risen (again)... but i'm more inclined on thinking that i need to rest my peepers more. anyways, since my lenses are due for replacement, i'm currently thinking of which color/s to buy this time. of course i'd still buy a set of the good old-fashioned-just-tinted-ones, but is saw this add at the centris station where a pair of colored lenses costs just a little above 1k. and these lenses are already good for use for a whole year. not sure of the quality though. anyways, it's just for kaartehan.
schedule will really be hectic this week... got an exam tomorrow, a lunch date with a friend on wednesday, another lunch date on thursday, facial sometime this week. mani-pedi needs to be squeezed in too. plus a dentist's appointment. oh and a class exercise due on friday. and grocery shopping. i wonder when i will be able to buy my new lenses. probably after i have rested my eyes enough to reduce this pesky blurry vision. i want to make sure that my eyes only need rest instead of another increase in grade before buying my lenses.
after the exam, i'll sleep earlier and start unbreaking my new year's resolution/s.
