The name conjures up images of people on treadmills hooked up to machines that suck sweat. Yeah, eeew.</div><div><br /><div><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TUIUoOxAs98/ThWao1GQVJI/AAAAAAAAAAY/gvrBhF4TlB0/s200/securedownload.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626573335708062866" /></div><div><br /></div></div><div>But that was before. Now, I'm so addicted to it. I first tried it in Tokyo after seeing people there gulp this stuff as they walked the underground walkways. If you need a quick Pocari Sweat fix, no sweat (har.har.), almost every vendo machine in Tokyo carries it. </div><div><br /></div><div>I love the simple sweet-salty taste. But aside from the taste, I keep on buying it for the element of nostalgia: This drink reminds me of Tokyo. </div><div><br /></div><div>Pocari sweat is recommended for people with active lifestyles but, that shouldn't stop a lazy ass such as myself from drinking it. </div><div><br /></div><div>I just wish they came up with a better name. "Pocari sweat", seesh.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5596720303888065000-881429533744449968?l=tbgar.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13776077940924317418noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596720303888065000.post-29973721760063960772011-07-07T03:09:00.000-07:002011-07-07T03:18:08.553-07:00<div>Like the rest of the social networking citizens of the world, I am amazed at this new partnership between FB and Skype which allows video calls. FB will once again re-invent how we communicate! </div><div><br /></div><div>But then I ask myself, am I willing to live with the fact that I have to look camera-ready every time I'm online on FB? Now I have to check how I look everytime I log on to FB? Put on lipstick and pat dry the oil depots on my face? </div><div><br /></div><div>Well, I could just ignore these video calls yes, but what does that say about my netiquette?</div><div><br /></div><div>Then I realize, I don't have a webcam.</div><div> </div><div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5596720303888065000-2997372176006396077?l=tbgar.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13776077940924317418noreply@blogger.com0
