Here’s an interesting fact I learned today. Coke (Coca-Cola) works as a spermicidal. Well, Coke works, but Diet Coke works best.

I honestly refused to believe this, although I have heared that Cortal plus Sprite is good as a morning after pill, but I have never heard anything about Coke. But what do I know, right? Anyway, my colleague said that rumor has been running since she was in high school that Coke is a spermicide. But of course, she did not believe those rumors as well.

Now, I looked this up online as my other colleague swore she heard news about that just recently. And what do you think I find when I look it up online? Coke is indeed spermicidal.

The person who headed the research which proved Coke to be spermicidal is a professor of obstetrics and gynecology. Deborah Anderson from Boston University Medical center and her colleagues were awarded the Ig Nobel chemistry prize for their 1985 study which found that Coca-Cola kills sperm.

From what I understand from the report, Coca-Cola will not work as a contraceptive. But it does kill sperm FAST. Old practices where females douche themselves to kill sperm and as protection from AIDS will not work. However, it is proven that Coke does kill sperms. No, you do not drink it, you do not douche, but it kills. I think it would kill as soon as sperm is out on a hand or a container and you pour the softdrink on it, the sperms explode. Methinks we could see fireworks from this huh?

Interesting research though, but not exactly what I was hoping for. Hehehe And here I thought drinking Coke after doing your thing would take care of worries of getting pregnant… eh.. worth looking it up anyway. You don’t believe me? Read it HERE.

Now I really wonder about the Cortal and Sprite.

Today I start my day with the ‘Hallelujah’ chorus from George Frideric Handel’s Messiah. I believe this is a perfect way to start a day, in particular, a Sunday. Don’t you think so too? After this, I reckon I will listen to ‘And The Glory Of The Lord’ part of the oratorio. Unfortunately, I cannot locate the full Messiah version, so I only have snippets. However, should you wish to listen to the oratorio, you can do so by listening here: Messiah. The sound quality there is not as wonderful as hearing the whole piece blasting on headphones.

HALLELUJAH! for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
The kingdom of this world is become the kingdom of our Lord, and of His Christ: and He shall reign for ever and ever.
KING OF KINGS, and LORD OF LORDS, HALLELUJAH!

Okay, here goes another Pinay Mommies Community Weekly Fest. I am joining because I could win a chance to put up an ad for my website and this would in turn get people to visit my website and possibly donate a dollar or two for my “A Dollar, A Mile” thing [see sidebar].

This time around we were asked to post a picture of us when we were younger [THEN], and then another in picture in our current state.. or NOW. Luckily, I have some old pictures of myself which my mom sent me sometime ago, so I was able to join! yey!

This is my entry:

I do not know how old I was when those pictures [THEN] were taken. I reckon I was barely a month old in the “baby state” and perhaps 2 years old in the first upper left picture, and around 6 years old in the black-and-white one. That was my yearbook picture when I graduated from Early Childhood School.

The NOW picture was taken a couple of months ago I think. Anyway, I think it speaks perfectly my current state and look. The difference? Well, first of all, I was the baby then, now I have two babies! hehehe.. AND, perhaps when I was younger, I looked better? Teehee.. These days I do not look anything else other than HAGGARD. But no worries, all efforts are dedicated for the better good. Changes physical-wise? Hahaha well, there’s the height, weight, ehrmmm front and end bumpers, and… nothing else.

This weeks benefactors are:

Well whaddaya know? September just came and gone!! Yowza!! [okay, this sounds eerily like the start of this post a month ago]

Well, let’s see.. for starters, September was quite fast.. I cannot even begin to remember what happened last month.. hmm.. Care to recount the previous month and see what’s in store this month? Okay, first things first, the month that was…[you can compare the previous post with this one :D]

• Wedding of 18 year old turned out to be just a joke - unfortunately, the joke was on me, and me, being the caring person that I am, fell for it hook line and sinker
• Grandmother’s birthday last September 25 - she would be around 75 years old now
• Mother-in-law’s birthday last September 23 - she would be around 52, I think
• Kay turned 24 years old last September 3, and she had her birthday at the beach (pics…? maybe later)
• A extremely huge problem was solved on the 25th.. so happy about this one
• Finally went to have the ECG results interpreted, and it turns out I may not exactly have a heart problem, but more of a thyroid problem
• Buluyagonz met on September 15 at Hayahay, Dumaguete City for pizza and drinks since Ate Pril came to visit [pics on this later]
• I had a super hectic month - which explains for the lack of posts
• I won a contest [third place actually] at Pinay Mommies Community - see winning post here.
• Participated in another contest at Pinay Mommies Community, but this time I did not win but it was fun. See posts here and here.
• Trex died, and I put up a fund “A Dollar, A Mile” so I can buy Trex II [see post here, and for donations, see sidebar. Thanks!]
• Current fatness state = FAT
• Wimpy Kitty [aka. Lori] broke out of prison camp.
• I got the scholarship at prison camp! Will get expelled if I don’t pass

Wow… that was a lot compared to the previous month. But as you can see, I actually have “Gerardism” which is a sickness that is brought about by being close friends with rhardo of http://rhardo.i.ph and http://rhardo.deviantart.com.

Now for this month, these are the things that I foresee…

• Alaine’s birthday on the 9th
• Neil Ross‘ birthday on the 16th
• Than’s birthday on the 15th
• Dashi’s birthday on the 29th [not really sure though]
• Supposed to play badminton for the SportsFest - I hope I don’t sprain my foot again
• Hopefully on the 25th, we [the BuLuYaGoNz] will get together for some R&R/reunion somewhere with carme, bol, ate, mami, etc in special attendance
• … cannot think anymore

So! That would be it for now… teehee.. Let us see which things will become a reality. Okies?

I am thinking of changing my website layout. Sometimes I get really bored with the things that are going on my website so change them up a bit. The main problem with having to change the template is that you would have to remember all the links and what not the sidebar has… hmmm.. and that is what’s stopping me.. hehehehe

Really, I am just blabbering here.. I felt the need to put in some new content since it has been around 5 days - perhaps the longest for me to not-post. All because I wanted toe “A dollar, A mile” to run. But somehow nobody is biting the plea… so nevermind. hehehehehe

It will run on the sidebar for now… and I shall try to post again. Although honestly? I think the creative juices and writing drive are not yet in place. I wonder what I need…….

More later…
