During the Pinoy Pride 3 boxing promotion event wherein Rey “Bombom” Bautista won over his Mexican opponent Alejandro Barera via a third round TKO, there were two fighters caught my attention and they were “the Sting” and “the Cobra”. It’s like Sting and Cobra, the two popular energy drinks in the Philippines, were fighting over who’s better between them.

“The Sting” was Edrin Dapudong (20-3-11 KO) of Philippines while “The Cobra” was Sofyan Effendi (10-10-2) of Indonesia.

The two fought under Flyweight Division for ten rounds. However, “The Sting” went better than “The Cobra” and snatched the seventh round TKO. “The Sting” professional boxing record was raised to 21-3-12KO).

The Sting Energy Drink

I actually don’t know what’s the meaning of the word “Sting” that Dapudong used as his moniker. It might mean the defense system of animals like the sting of the bees. But I suspect that “The Sting” here is the energy drink made by PepsiCo International. Who knows, if “Sting” energy drink backs Dapudong on his professional fights.

By the way, the Sting energy drink is made up of Carbonated water, Sugar, Citric Acid, Artificial flavour, Maltrodextrin, Sodium Citrate, Sodium Hexametaphosphate, Taurine, Potassium Sorbate, Caffeine, Sodium Benzoate, Tartrazine, Inosital, Calcium Disodium EDTA, Modified Food Starch, Panax Ginseng Extract, Niacinamide, Sunset Yellow, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride and Cyanocobalamin.

Here’s what has been reported:

Guardo said he wants to get Sen. Chiz Escudero as I-berry endorser and sexy starlet Christine Reyes as Slima endorser.

Also they intend to introduce to the market a male potency supplement called Hardman and get the controversial doctor, Hayden Kho, as endorser.

They will also be coming up with a cure all product, some liquid supplements and a beauty and whitening product, he said.

I wonder what will be the video that will be used in the commercial for the said male potency supplement. Baka mamaya yung video sa scandal ang gagamitin

The said office employed 250 workers. 95 of them were being screened for the H1N1 virus and four of them are urged to remain in the hospital while their samples are being tested.

The Google employee that has been tested positive of the virus is said to have infected his 6 fellows in an apartment. All of them are now quarantined and have been give medication.

According to the report, there are 220 people in India that have been tested positive of the virus. However, 141 of them went home already after the treatment.

Alexa Longueira, a 15-year old sophomore student fell into a manhole in into the sewer just because she was texting while walking the sidewalk of a boulevard in Staten Island, New York.

Alexa blamed the workers for keeping the manhole open without warning, however, if she only focused her attention to the place where she’s walking, I think, she would notice the manhole and avoided the tragedy.

I wonder how many among you experienced something bad just because you were texting.

According to her, Vicki Belo explained to her the procudere but did not tell her about the side effect.

Norcio, a resident of Cubao, Quezon City, told the Philippine Daily Inquirer during an interview in her hospital room Thursday that she has been in and out of the hospital since May 10.

She added that she was under the care of several doctors — an infectious disease specialist, cardiologist, pulmonary specialist, surgeon, nutritionist and a therapist.

According to Norcio, her problems started on May 10 when she woke up and found she couldn’t move her lower body. She also had a fever and her buttocks were inflamed and painful.

A visit to the doctor showed that her buttocks were full of pus, a condition linked to the hydrogel that had been injected into the area when she underwent butt augmentation in 2003 and 2005 at the Belo Clinic on Tomas Morato.

During subsequent visits, Norcio said her condition worsened as she experienced difficulty in breathing and her blood pressure became erratic.

Since then, she has undergone at least six operations to drain the pus and the hydrogel from her buttocks, a procedure which, according to her doctors, must be done gradually.

I already posted before the means of avoiding the alzheimers, and this is by thinking too much every day. However, if you think you or one of your loveones has started developing Alzheimers Disease, then why not try this…

Dr. Gary Arendash of the University of Florida led a research group who tested 55 mice bred to develop symptoms of Alzheimer’s Disease. Half of the mice were given dosage of caffeine. And then they found out that those who were given caffeine have improved memory skills than those mice who were not given caffeine.

So, they suggest that drinking coffee five cups a day may help protect against and combat Alzheimer’s disease.

Yesterday, June 30, the FDA panel recommended the ban of the Vicodin and Percocet, the popular pain killer in the US. These two prescription pain killer contains Acetaminophen combined with opiate narcotic, that can cause injury to the patients liver.

The acetaminophen can already cause cause problem with the liver but the combination with the opiate narcotic is more harmful. And it was also noted that the patients needed more dosage of the combination narcotic as time goes by to feel the same effect.
