Lifestyles of the rich and wealthy

July 29, 2007

The richer you get, they say, the more money you have and the more expenses you make.

And yet, there are rich and wealthy Filipino families who seem to scrimp and save on every possible opportunity.

Or do they, really?

A few PMT members are saying that although these rich Filipinos appear to be scrimping, they, on the other hand, lavish on other extravagances, such as cars, jewelries, luxury vacations, and the like.

Do you agree? Or don't care at all?

(With pics) Secret images ‘discovered’ in da Vinci’s “The Last Supper”

July 28, 2007

Sounding like something straight out of Dan Brown's fictional best-seller, The Da Vinci Code, an Italian computer analyst claims to have discovered secret images inside Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece, "The Last Supper."

Pesci Slavisa said the image can only be seen in a certain light and that he had to use his computer skills to reveal it.

He claims to have discovered the "hidden" images by superimposing a reverse image on the original image.
