I am a proud Aunt of two very pretty/beautiful nieces. I am blessed to have the both of them. Well, aside from responsible of giving them their respective names, I am very supportive and loving to these cuties. Kiana Claire is the eldest (5 years old) and Kimberly Cate (7 moths old) is the youngest. Both of them are daughters of my eldest brother.

I love to see both of them everyday. I like to nourish them and teach them everything that they need to learn. Kiana, is now the most intelligent and ranks number one in her class, which make my whole family very proud and happy, especially my mother and father.

There’s always something that these two cuties show us everyday. I know there will still be a long years for them to be mature enough. But, I’m always here for them. I’ll always be their loving and ever supportive Aunt. And here for my soon to be nieces or nephews!

It’s good be called Tita, it’s cool to be an Aunt!

I am not a huge fan of cake. But I do love to eat cake! Yum yum!

Why do I love cake? Well, because it is sweet, comes with different flavor and of course so delicious! Chocolate flavored cake is one of my favorites, second is mocha.

Why the hell am I talking about cake? Oh dear, I miss eating it. The last time I ate was last Saturday, when we had breakfast in our favorite Bakeshop and I ordered a honey crunch cake. And now, I am craving to have some more! Geee I am hungry and I couldn’t help my starving stomach.

Anyway, I have here the pictures of cakes that I took last Saturday. I can’t wait to have some this weekend!

  Cakes…Cakes…Cakes…

My Honey Crunch Cake!

Check this interesting new flash memory from Samsung.

Samsung Electronics Co. said Tuesday it has developed a more advanced flash memory chip that will allow increased data storage in digital products such as music players.

Samsung, the world’s largest maker of computer memory chips, unveiled a 64-gigabit NAND flash memory chip based on finer process technology using circuit elements that are 30 nanometers wide. A nanometer is one-billionth of a meter; a human hair is about 80,000 nanometers across.

“The flash memory device represents a major leap forward in the move to higher density flash storage solutions at a time of exploding demand for flash as the main storage medium in computing and digital applications,” Samsung said in a statement.

Samsung touted the development of the chip as a world first and said the new chip marks the eighth straight year that memory density has doubled and the seventh straight year that the nanometer scale has improved for NAND flash.

The company said it plans to begin production of the chip in 2009.

Using finer process technology allows more to be fit on a semiconductor chip and reduces power requirements.

Flash memory chips are used extensively in digital music devices, digital cameras and mobile phones. The chips can retain data even when the devices they power are turned off.

Samsung also manufactures dynamic random access memory, or DRAM, chips used in personal computers.

Last year the company announced 32-gigabit NAND flash memory chip based on 40-nanometer process technology.

Production of that chip will begin next year, said Chae Su-yeon, a Samsung spokeswoman

Currently, the bulk of Samsung’s flash memory chips are produced using 50-nanometer process technology, she said.

Do you ever wonder why most men die before us women? Here’s why:

In humans and many other animals, males age faster and die earlier than females.

New research suggests this might happen because of intense competition over sex.

Scientists compared monogamous species with polygynous species, in which each male mates with many females. Males in monogamous species, such as the barnacle goose or the dwarf mongoose, naturally compete less over females than ones in polygynous species, such as the red-winged blackbird or the savannah baboon.

After investigating about 20 different vertebrate species, researchers Tim Clutton-Brock and Kavita Isvaran at the University of Cambridge in England found the more polygynous a species was, the more likely their males were to age faster and die earlier than females.

The researchers explained that as competition among males for sex grows more intense, each male on average has less time to breed. As such, there is no strong incentive to evolve longevity among males in such species.

Since men age faster and die earlier than women, these findings suggest that “at the time when current human physiology evolved, perhaps around the late Stone Age, polygynous breeding was the norm,” Clutton-Brock told LiveScience. “Of course, this doesn’t provide any justification for polygyny or promiscuity now for males.”

Clutton-Brock and Isvaran detailed their findings online Oct. 17 in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

I do notice this one in our family. My Granda died first than my Gradma, my Uncle died few years ago due to Kidney disease and some for most of my relatives men do die first too.
