Typhoon Megi Juan

Oct 18th 2010Around the Metro & Environment & For Information & Philippines & Photos

Typhoon Megi or Juan is one of the strongest typhoon ever to hit the country at category 5 or in local terms, signal #4. Everyone is panicking, and why not?

The typhoon is covering the country and even beyond. Signal number 4 has only been given three times in the same areas, Cagayan, Isabela and Aurora since 1998: Harurot in 2003 (when we were aboard a supercat ferry down south and I got seasick, ugh!) and Paeng in 2006.

Tiny Apartment with 24 Rooms

May 27th 2010Environment & Money Watch & Visualizations

Tiny apartment with 24 rooms? Impossible you say, but not for Architect Gary Chang who transformed this 344 sq ft apartment into 24 rooms. Watch this closely:

Building structures nowadays does not only mean relying on face value. Building structures is now more about having a design that will maximize space and natural lighting among others as well as lessen carbon footprint.

Is your home one that can be considered as such?
