Brain Health

Monday, September 26, 2011


When you play video games as much as I do you know if you will win a fight right from the start. You watch how your opponent fights carefully because most often than not he's got a pattern. If you don't get what his strategies early on; chances are... you'll likely lose big time! You won't even get to finish anything on story mode if your eye hand coordination is slow. It actually pays to practice but if you don't have that innate skill to cope with how fast everything is; then it is futile to even start and fight in a competition. These all show signs of something called brain plasticity. Although some say it is natural, there are remarkable achievements in neuroscience telling otherwise and say these cells can actually make new ones.

There are also some therapy systems that would be able to determine how fit our brain is. With a couple of tests designed for the individual they would make an initial assessment to see what you prefer to be your goal. Some offer it for free so there really is no harm in trying. I mean having your brain tested if it was normal is just but right isn't it?! Would you do something differently to see your brain's health?! This is already easy; if you have time try institutions that know what they are doing scientifically please do so. You are doing yourself a favor.

Social: Twice!


Times are hard and just like everyone else I wanted to get a loan through social security channels. I applied for it a few months ago and had so many issues regarding requirements that were supposed to be done by the government agency years ago. They basically need my birth certificate and I just didn't utter complaints anymore so I can finish this early. Even if I came from a shift I went through all that brouhaha and red tape. True enough; we got the papers submitted on the same day. I went home and only spent 2 hours of sleep before getting back to the office. It was that hectic and I had so many things to do including social networking matters. I needed to organize it because I feel it's cluttered. This is no OC symptom but somehow it's near that.

Have you ever felt too much of your personal information is out on the Internet and you can't manage them? That's how I feel these days and I hope I can make some necessary adjustments on how this could be fixed. In a nutshell we all need some help sometimes. With the money we worked for there should be someway to make things easier so we don't have to go through unnecessary logistics. Maybe we can also get that integrated to social media and make better solutions for transactions like these in the future. Wouldn't that be neat?! I know, right?!

SIZE MATTERS Flame Grilled Sausage Burgers

I attended Blogapalooza which was attended by almost 30 vendors; and a couple of them actually did catch my interest. Not that the others were not "interesting" but I guess these guys went out of their comfort zone to present their businesses to a multitude of influential bloggers in Manila. I had so much fun in that event. This is one of the reasons why.

Size Matters

Playing a naughty twist on food isn't that easy considering this is a concept store for a burger not quite seen in the normal Philippine setting where love and sex is taboo for all the wrong reasons. This isn't a sex toy shop for starters but a Sausage Burger establishment. I've been doing a lot of food reviews lately and I'd only get to probably recommend a few because I want to show you only the good ones. This one's worth it!



Imagine soft slightly toasted oat buns filled with not just ordinary burger patty but ground sausage made into a burger smothered with cheese, caramelized onions, mustard, mayo, lettuce and tomatoes. That's how special they make these burgers. Not only that, they make sure you know it is a burger by making it BIG. It's not the usual serving of burger you see in fast food restaurants but a few hundred grams of pure unadulterated meat. It just makes my mouth water each time I remember smelling it before I took a bite.



Just see this double patty sausage burger with huge onions. Just those two ingredients would make it SOLD for me. I love how they play with different key ingredients but still stick to the them and the inspiration of pseudo-German-American fusion, dishes that we absolutely adore. Who else would actually endorse Size matters but the owners wife. She did say SIZE MATTERS. =)




This guy was nice and very enthusiastic about their business. I know there are a lot of burger establishments around the block but if you have something on the selling point, it's the Sausage burger which is totally different. Glad he knows it.



I just live around the corner. I'm sure one of these days I'll get to review some of their best sellers. It's just in Tomas Morato, situated on a building a few floors up. Make sure you drop by and grab a bite with your friends and family. As naughty as it sounds, their sausage burgers have so much to be told about. Did I forget to mention they have one of the widest selection of IMPORTED BEERS this side of town? Capisce?!

I'll be reviewing some of their burgers, so watch out for that!
