Christmas Party '10

We had our Christmas Party this morning after taking our last examinations. I’m glad that our examinations are finished and we can spend our vacation without worries but we have projects that needs to be pass on January 3^rd. Our Christmas party was very fun because we get some icing cake from the cake and put it on each other’s face and there are some who throws water. First, we are ask to describe who are SP's were and gave the gift we also hugged each other. Awwee sweet! I receive a gift from my SP and she was my best friend and I never thought that she got my name. But the time for our Christmas Party was short we got only 30 mins or an hour to celebrate but although its short it was worth it. Merry Christmas and Advanced Happy New Year!

Play - Preparations

During the preparations for the play we are all very busy deciding what will be our play. Some of my classmates search some plays and share it to the class. But we didn’t like the play what they wanted so we need to search more but suddenly our CAE teacher suggested “One Night with the King”. And we are very grateful that one of my classmates had a DVD and so we watch it and decided that it will be our play. First of all, One Night with the King is base on the story about Esther in the Bible. Our scriptwriters find time to search for the script that exactly like the movie and they had a difficult time searching for it. Almost after a week they have to produce the script and distributed to us. I was the Technical Manager so I’m in charge in the technicals and also I’m part of the spotlight people because I have experienced it last year in our 1^st year play.

The little car for the little people

There have been decent efforts in the past to provide dwarfs with decent means of transportation, but those were limited to modifying the cars to suit the purpose than actually building a new vehicle. However; the one here is a new paradigm. Volkswagen is building a low priced compact car named Gol in Brazil since 1980. This model gave birth to VW Mini-Gol in 2008 which is approximately 30% of the size of the original. Its compact yet lucid size is perfect for little people (5-foot or less).

iPhone next generation projected cell technology

The iPhone 'Next G' is Virtually Weightless in Your Palm

Designed by Samuel Lee Kwon, the iPhone ‘Next G’ redefines its current concrete counterpart. Though the new wrist-worn concept is tangible technology, the Apple gadget’s familiar touchscreen is projected onto the wearer’s palm.

Equipped will all of the most important features, including a mic, a speaker, a camera receiver, touch screen and wrist pulse sensor, the iPhone ‘Next G’ is truly the next generation of iPhone, stepping away from the concept of self-contained technology.

Incredible Skyscrappers around the world

Unusual and unique skyscrappers around the world:

Art of Egg Sculptures

These are very cool. These amazing photos are of art sculptures made entirely of eggs.
Don’t ask them why anyone thought this was a good idea, but the end result is way cool. Which just goes to show, if you want to make great art, you have to break a few eggs. Then make a sculture art from made of egg.

the Simpson Escalator

This escalator is cool. I wish we could have it also in our very own mall.

coolest!!

cooloest. How did it happen? That what you call art.. :))

Legos & the City

Artist Temujin Doran has come up with a super way to advertise the toy brand Lego. He simply takes photos of small Lego figures placed in real-life situations.

The interesting part is how he manages to pick the right Lego for the right scene. The fact that he can find an appropriate Lego for almost any situation is a true testament to the vast library of available Legos.

The Worlds Longest beach in Britain

Place - Littlehampton, West Sussex in Britain

The beach is located along Littlehampton’s promenade by the Blue Flag beach. About 300 people can sit on it at the same time, and there is no way it’s going to be occupied, there is always room for everyone.

The bench is very “flexible” and colorful, giving the promenade a joyful and young touch. It almost looks like a long rollercoaster and it is probably made with that kind of inspiration. It is 324 meters long, and is made out of hardwood bars that are put together. It was made by the design company Studio Weave, but they needed help from other organizations as well as children and other locals. Something that can remind of this is the Phonehenge that’s located near Myrtle Beach in South California.

The worlds dangerous bird - Cassowary

The world most dangerous birds - Cassowary:

According to the Guinness Book of Records, the Cassowaries are the world’s most dangerous birds, capable of dealing fatal blows. They are very unpredictable, aggressive creatures, especially if wounded or cornered. The Cassowary lives in the rain forests of Australia and New Guinea and are actually pretty shy animals if undisturbed, but if you get to close and it thinks you’re a threat you could receive a bone-breaking kick or get sliced by its dagger-like sharp claws. During WWII, soldiers stationed in New Guinea were warned to stay away from these birds, but some of them still became victims.

top 5 living on edge building

#1 Leaning Tower of Pisa, Italy

The Leaning Tower was supposed to stand straight and plumb, an imperious monument to the trading power of 12th century Pisa. Built on soft clay, however, the tower began to list only a few years after construction began. Upon completion in 1350, the tower leaned about four and half feet, but as time passed, the angle of the 16,000-ton tower became more precarious. By 1990, the tower leaned about 13 feet off kilter, and nearly two million pounds of lead ingots had to be placed on one of its sides to prevent its collapse. But the nearest the tower has been to destruction had nothing to do with its famed tilt. Allied forces ordered an American sergeant to blow it up during World War II when they thought the Germans were using it as an observation post. Only the reticence of the 23-year-old American saved the tower.

#2 Capital Gate, Abu Dhabi, UAE

Pisa’s famous tilt may have been an accident, but the tipsy new addition to Abu Dhabi’s skyline is not. The United Arab Emirates’ Capital Gate tower pushed its Tuscan cousin out of the limelight this week when the Guinness Book of World Records certified the new building as the “World’s Furthest Leaning Manmade Tower.” It’s not clear how stiff the competition for that category ever really was, but the 35-story structure does lean a gravity defying 18 degrees — nearly five times further than its Italian inspiration. Like Bilbao, Sydney and Kuala Lumpur, the UAE built Capital Gate to put its premier city on the world’s architectural map. The sloping result — “designed to provide no symmetry” — looks a little like a shiny drunk slouching against a wall. Built with over 15,000 cubic meters of concrete reinforced with 10,000 tons of steel, the tower houses over 20,000 feet of “premium” office space and a five-star Hyatt. Whether hotel guests will be inclined to sleep in this off-center wonder is another question.

#3 WoZoCo Apartments, Amsterdam

When the Het Oosten Housing Association in Amsterdam requested 100 social housing units for the elderly, Dutch architectural firm MVRDV found itself in a fix. Only 87 apartments would be able to meet regulations on adequate sunlight and still fit neatly onsite. Fortunately, uniformity wasn’t the architects’ top priority. Rather than take up more green space in a garden city threatened by development, they cantilevered — or fastened — the leftover 13 units onto the building’s northern façade. The suspended suites look like a series of open, wood-sheathed drawers in an oversized glass dresser. Jutting out of the main block, the lower boxes hang just above street level and the heads of apprehensive passersby. The southern façade is checkered with haphazardly placed windows and protruding balconies like transparent, technicolor containers. But despite their gravity-defying convolution, the WoZoCo Apartments were completed between 1994 and 1997 with “the lowest building costs in Amsterdam,” according to MVRDV. “This was the result of inexperience,” says the firm’s website. “Nowadays we would have told the client that he should increase his budget.”

#4 Meteora Monasteries, Greece

Perched atop towering rock pillars, a cluster of medieval monasteries called Meteora crown Greece’s Pindus Mountains. Meteora means “suspended in air,” and it was an apt description for centuries. Until less than a hundred years ago, one could only scale the sheer cliffs in a hanging basket or by climbing flimsy rope ladders. According to legend, one monastery founder could only reach the mountain peaks on the back of an eagle. As early as the 11th century, the region’s caves sheltered hermitic monks, but by the 14th century the orthodox monks were constructing elaborate stone and terracotta buildings, safe from marauding raiders below. Even in the 18th and 19th century, the monasteries remained secure hideouts, housing not just persecuted monks but also guerrilla fighters called klephts who fought for Greek independence from the Ottoman Empire. Today, of the 24 original monasteries, only six are active, but the remaining monks still have the same heavenly views. Plus, these days they can eschew the basket or the eagle and just take the stairs.

#5 Puerta de Europa, Madrid

The old gateways of Spain’s capital, Puerta de Alcalá and Puerta de Toledo, were built in the late 18th to early 19th centuries to mark the eastern and southwestern boundaries of the city’s main roads. Their contemporary counterpart, Puerta de Europa, was completed in 1996 as a joint project between American and Spanish architectural firms. Reflective of Madrid’s evolution from an old kingdom to a modern city, the “Gate of Europe” does not have its predecessors’ granite build nor their neoclassical arches. And, unlike the older puertas, Puerta de Europa is also a functional corporate space. Twin steel-and-glass towers form a single, implied gateway leading into the northern end of Madrid’s business district. Each building has a vertical of 374 feet (26 floors) with a 15 degree incline toward its other half. This sideways tilt put the Puerta de Europa on the map as the world’s first leaning high-rise office buildings.
