The NFT or Non Fungible Token

As the world evolves, and technology progresses, there are a lot of ways nowadays to earn and spend money. Welcome to the digital world. Let us talk about Digital Currency. On 3 January 2009, the bitcoin network was created when Nakamoto mined the starting block of the chain, known as the genesis block. At that time, price of 1 Bitcoin is 0 $, and now as of this writing, 1 Bitcoin is equivalent to almost 32,000 dollars.  After the successful run of the Crypto Currency; a digital currency in which transactions are verified and records maintained by a decentralized system using cryptography, rather than by a centralized authority, let us all welcome the creation of NFT. NFT stands for non-fungible token. It's generally built using the same kind of programming as cryptocurrency, like Bitcoin or Ethereum, but that's where the similarity ends. Physical money and cryptocurrencies are “fungible,” meaning they can be traded or exchanged for one another. NFT started dates back to 2017,

The All New Toyota Veloz

When we talk about a typical Filipino family, it always consists of parents with 4 kids and a Yaya. Some may not agree with us but, this is the reason why car manufacturers released AUV type of vehicles or simply put, the Asian Utility Vehicles. AUVs are marketed as cheap and simple transporter, not as rugged as a fully-committed SUV. The body design is close to that of the SUV’s but with smaller dimensions and simpler exterior design. If you’re in the market for a 7-seater vehicle, you may want to explore all three kinds, AUVs, SUVs and MPVs.  Hence, Toyota unveils one of their fair share of 7-seater vehicle, the all new Veloz. Toyota Veloz is classified as a Sub Compact Sports Utility Vehicle or Sub-Com SUV.  MPV stands for Multi-Purpose Vehicle. MPVs are sometimes called ‘people carriers’, too, which is perhaps a more accurate name. They have tall, box-like bodies designed to create as much interior space as possible and often have more seats than a comparable hatchback or saloon. M

The Toyota Raize Sub Compact SUV

When Pandemic strikes, commuting around the Metro is such a pain in the, you know what I mean! As a result, a lot of “can afford” people tends to look beyond alternatives to report to work or to just visit a place to satisfy their cravings. Of course, one of the best alternative is to have your own car. Some we’re forced to purchase pre-owned, yet, some tend to buy brand new. Believe me, the feeling is quite greater purchasing brand new. If you are in the market for a new car and a typical Sedan is somehow common for you, you’ll probably have to consider a Sub Compact Sports Utility Vehicle or simply, Sub-Com SUV. A sports utility vehicle or SUV is a car classification that combines elements of road-going passenger cars with features from off-road vehicles, such as raised ground clearance and four-wheel drive.  Hence, the Toyota Raize. The Raize is Toyota's entry-level 2-row subcompact SUV. The Japanese carmaker's new baby sports utility vehicle rides on an all-new DNGA platfor

Men Can Be Pregnant and Give Birth

I have remembered watching an old funny movie where a man was about to give birth!!! It was hilarious!!! It was a joke during that time, but the thing is, it will be possible come a time. One ordinary operation day at Cleveland where a group of surgeon is performing uterus transplant surgery on women who were born without a womb or whose uterus is diseased or malfunctioning. Well, needless to say, that news got us curious, very curious actually and we believe that we all are wondering:  If science can transplant a uterus into a woman, can it transplant one into a man? YES YES and big YES. Theoretically, men could receive a uterus, carry a baby to term,  and give birth. The revelation, as very surprising as it was, was not the main reason we all are excited about the news, this will happen much sooner than we have expected ;-) According to Dr. Karine Chung, director of the fertility preservation program at the University of Southern California’s Keck School of Medicine, “My gue

10 Most Innovative Cars

When I was younger, probably around 10, I’m so amazed on a car that’s look different from any other. I’m always dreaming on a day that I drive a sport’s car on broad daylight in a real race track!!!

The Titanic: Jack Should Have Survived

Titanic, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet was should I say epic!!! Indeed one of the greatest love story I have heard and watched my whole life. Well, that’s still debatable ;-) Don’t yank on me yet… I have remembered watching it, believe it or not, I have watched it alone, pity me, way back when I’m still in my high school days, and yeah it’s probably fine during that time to have watched it alone, though having some company would be great! Okay so what do we have here? Ah the ordeal when Jack and Rose were already on a piece of wood after the Titanic sunk. There had been a lot of debate that Jack shouldn’t die that night. He should have done a couple or maybe more things to keep himself alive ;-) ‘My Heart Will Go On’, much like the chorus from Celine Dion’s, the tragic conclusion of ‘Titanic’ will live on in all of our hearts until the day we die. And just probably, we will tell the story to our kids so just to relive the moment. Well, I should
