“Here everybody uses a hookah, and it is impossible to get on without. I have frequently heard men declare they would much rather be deprived of their dinner than their hookah.”

Having a good time has its limits too or better ask for a term life insurance quotes from your agent if your a stubborn person. I think you know what I’m saying, that everything you take in excess is bad for your health.

Just like when we tried the hookah or shisha during a birthday party of a friend. My friend Lhance brought it (the hookah) all the way from Saudi Arabia. Since I have some info that its somehow medicinal, (hmmmm me ganong factor pa eh noh) and out of my curiosity, I’ve smoked it together with other posse at the party.

I puffed out the cherry flavor tabaco from the sisha twice, and that’s it. Nothing extraordinary except of course the delectable flavor and the privilege of using an exquisitely designed hookah (waterpipe). Bottomline, Shisha is cool! But I don’t think I’ll ever be hooked of it for sure.

This photo was taken during the The 2010 Hot Air Balloon fiesta in Clark Pampanga.

Hot air baloon is an expensive and extreme sport in many aspect, that one would need at least more than a cheap car insurance before embracing the sport.

The fear of tremendous heights, limited space, strong wind and bursting balloon are the main factors you will encounter up there. I’m sure all of these are nothing compare to what the sport enthusiast feels when they are airborne. The fulfillment and joy seeing the world from up there. Kudos to all who were into these kind of sports. Enjoy and fly safely!

Did you guys know that there’s such a thing as “edible grass”?

Also known as “Edible Easter Grass”, this starch-based food is not exactly the type of herbal colon cleanser you can use to replace your veggies. If anything, the stuff tastes more like paper, because it was mainly designed as decoration for Easter baskets.

Although some grasses are edible by humans, sometimes only portions of it can be used. Humans eat the seeds of wheat, rye, corn, barley and even rice. Yes, rice IS a type of grass. However, unlike cows that have 4 stomachs, humans can’t eat the stalks or leaves of these types of grass (even the type that grows in our front yards), because their fiber is very tough, and not suitable for our sensitive digestive systems.

Maybe someday, science can make a real edible grass for humans. But it would be a rather scary thought, because we might have to end up pooping like goats. (Ano yun? Itim na jolen? XD)
