Has anyone ever seen one of these?

While in the bathroom, doing what every normal human being would be doing.. I happened to see the oddest thing. Looked like a piece of tissue from afar but it was moving.. so after doing my thing, I went near it and saw this...

I dashed out of the bathroom and grabbed a camera. I mean really.. its not everyday anyone gets to see an albino cockroach right? I mean.. since that night, Ive never seen this little fella again..

Just a thought though.. maybe if all of them looked like this.. they probably wouldnt be as scary.. theyd probably be treated like butterflies if they flew at you.. no swatting.. hmm.. probably :)

Sugar Free and Diarrhea

DIARRHEA

Such an unusual thing to blog about.. but because of a friend's situation, I checked out what food shes supposed to avoid so I could stop her on her tracks before she starts ordering something that would make her cry bloody murder during dinner tonight.

And I was surprised to find sugar free food on the list because apparently, some sugar substitutes actually have laxative effects to the body and that they contribute to flatulence and bloating.

So whether you have diarrhea or at least dont feel like having one... avoid sugar free stuff... and yes, that includes items that says "diet" or "light" . But if you are looking towards weightloss and dont mind these uncomfortable side effects.. then go the hell for it! yaaaay for sugar-free!!!

Best of health to everyone!

Coffee Painting

I heard about this girl who painted using coffee.. Sunshine Plata.. So I decided to let out a bit of my pent up creativity and made my own... Lo and behold my first coffee painting..

Of course this doesnt come as close to the style and finesse Sunshine has displayed on her works.. but hey.. this isnt so bad for a first timer right? :D :D :D say yes! :D

Blog Name Background

Hi there! Im loving my blog name! Ive always wondered what the hell a beatnik was, and I came across a site while looking for a decent symbolic blog name and thought about googling it. Found a simple yet understandable meaning at the free dictionary

beat·nik (btnk)

n.

A person, especially a member or follower of the Beat Generation, whose behavior, views, and often style of dress are pointedly unconventional.

You can check out what a Beat Generation is at wikipedia coz its too long to post here.

Anyway, I thought, this is so me! I am such a non conformist! Like to give a brief background:

• Im one who hates having roaches, mosquitos or any living thing killed.
• Im one who sweats over a flying paper trying to free a mouse stuck to it.
• I enjoy going to born again masses more even if my beliefs are catholic (oh dont get me started on their rules @.@).
• I gave up a 3D Artist career and landed a job as a Barista wherein someone dubbed me as the "barista na may driver" (a barista that has a driver).
• I also have a passion for Jazz music while most people my age go for alternative, rock, house or trance.. I could say I have an old soul... though acting my age is unknown to me. I am a 27 year old who is just as comfortable and happy as can be with an early 20s attitude. Good thing my face has been supportive of me.
• As for my dressing up, I would still pick comfort and would rather look like everyone else than look like some idiot trying to set a trend. But I dont go for branded stuff, I love tiangges :)

Alright, this has gone on way too long.. So im going to keep it here. I cant wait to share my thoughts on the next post :)
