Farewell Francis M.

Yesterday a Philippine music icon bid farewell. Francis Magalona also known as Francis M died of leukemia. Francis M has brought colors to the Philippine music industry with his rap-rock music. His famous song include "Mga Kababayan Ko" (my countrymen), "Kaleidoscope", and my favorite "Three Stars and a Sun" and a lot more. Its sad to loose an artist as good as Francis M.

Farewell Francis M. Your great works will never be forgotten. Your songs has inspired us.

Motorcycles help keep you young

I came across an article in the daily paper saying that researchers in Japan have discovered that driving motorcycles help keep you young.

According to Ryuta Kawashima - the designer of the popular "Brain Training" computer software, riding motorcycles help keep drivers young by invigorating their brains, "The driver's brain gets activated by riding motorcycles" in part because heightened alertness. "In a convenient and easy environment, the human mind and body get used to setting the hurdle low", he warned. "Our final conclusion is that riding motorcycles can lead to smart ageing."

I just wonder how does this differ from driving manual four wheel vehicles? One thing for sure, based on my observation that "If you are not carefull, motorcycles will keep you young because you won't grow old."
