When I was a kid I loved to play on a rocking horse. Even now too, if I can find one that can hold my weight. 

I have never had the chance to ride a real life horse before though and perhaps wouldn’t even  dare to try. But looking at the Ridemaster pro a horseback riding simulator, I’d give it a second thought.

This virtual reality horse riding machine combines a mechanical horse that comes with various electronic sensors and a wide screen monitor. It is said that the riders can use normal riding techniques – trot, canter and also a number of advanced riding techniques. Bet if you really gear yourself up in proper equestrian apparel you’d really feel like you are riding a real life horse. Been out for nearly a couple of years now. Costing thousands of pounds, only the rich can afford to buy one of these and set up in their homes. Though I suppose it still wouldn’t cost so much than to care for a real horse. Cool as it may seem, but riding a horse isn’t all about riding it right? I suppose you would really want to have some sort of personal connection to the horse as well. And that the mechanical horse can’t give you.

I was looking around for available vacation accomodation for this coming summer. Found some apartments rentals which are rather basic. Well, though they aren’t like any of those nice and roomy Outer Banks vacation rentals, they look comfy enough.

Well, renting a room or a house for the holidays is nice but check out this solar powered glowing tent.

Just send an sms and the tent would start to glow and guide you back to the campsite. And if you look inside the tent, there is an LCD display that provides internet signal and the level of solar energy that has been generated. Cool or what??

I believe that we need to get back to nature once in a while, but it doesn’t mean you have to live without your gadgets. Using gadgets in a nature friendly way like this tent, is the way to go.

I suppose if you are a youtube and also Japan fan, you may have come acrossed ‘magibon’. The girl who doesn’t say a word and only stares at you on her youtube videos and got popular for that. I really don’t know why people love  her for that,  cause it is pretty irritating to watch someone just trying to look cute on video without saying anything.

It wasn’t until I saw a video of her  in Japan being interviewed that I understood why she didn’t say anything. She is a cute girl… if she keeps he mouth shut. But if she opens it….

err… she really does need to get braces for those teeth!

10-20 years ago, teeth braces are considered something that would make one look ugly. (Just like glasses). Somehow, these days, it seems to be rather in fashion with all those colourful braces.

I even saw on an NJ Cosmetic dentist website regarding invisible braces called the invisalign braces. Unlike the traditional type of braces, invisalign is made of clear plastic “aligners” that nearly unnoticeable. It also claimed to align the teeth within a much shorter time than the traditional braces. Not only that you can easily take it off and on when you want to eat and brush your teeth.

So now, thanks to technology, getting your teeth straight doesn’t mean you have to wear ugly, uncomfortable braces.
