Once u get passed, sure u can see life in different angle and appreciate it :)

The very first task is : Can u stop grumbling just for a day?

If u can manage to avoid any grumbling in a day, can u make it last for a week, a month, or an unknown period of time perhaps?

Urggg, byk bgt !!!

I just went for medical check up..
I got lung's x-ray..
I dunno what exactly happen to my lung but there are circle spots at my lung's bones..
The doctor also didn't know what is that..
He just asked me to wait for the medical analysis which will be done by another specialist..
I really hope nothing happen to me seriously..
I want to stay healthy..

Some people say "A face is a reflection of a soul"
But to me "A face cant reflects what you feel sometimes"
U cant read what a person thinks about..
U cant really touch into them..
They can hide their emotion so u cant discover what is really going on actually

I can smile..
I can pretend like nothing happen..
I can laugh..
I can play like others..
I can do anything just like I am in a happy mode..
Some more I can give advice to others even I myself in a trouble as well..
They won't know what exactly happen to me..
That's good to be like that somehow
But it's quite tiring also..
So what I have to do is keep motivating my own self..
My family sometimes can give me strength but sometimes become a problem for me as well
My friends - Frankly speaking, I also dunno how good my friends are..
The only thing I know is "Don't depends on others"


BUCK UP BUCK UP !!!

about ALCOHOL

    We know that everything in excess is not good for our health. Same goes to alcohol consumption. If you choose to drink alcohol, do so in moderation. Moderate drinking means up to 1 drink a day for women and up to 2 drinks a day for men. 

   Twelve ounces of regular beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof distilled spirits count as a drink for purposes of explaining moderation.

Remember that alcoholic beverages have calories but are low in nutritional value.

What are EMPTY CALORIES?

You may have heard and read the term "empty calories" before. But what exactly empty calories means??? Why are they so bad for you , and how can you avoid them?

Empty Calories = High Calories but Low Nutrition

Contains Calories: Carbohydrates, Protein and Fat (collectively known as Macro-nutrients)

No Calories: All vitamins & minerals including antioxidants (collectively known as Micro-nutrients) as well as fiber

"Empty Calories" describes foods high in calories but low in nutritional values (also known as junk food!), lacking the health-promoting micro-nutrients.

Examples of food containing mostly empty calories :

1. French fries, fried chicken, chips and all other deep-fried foods
2. Candy, pop and other sweetened packaged foods
3. Beer, wine and all other alcoholic beverages
4. Refined grains such as crackers, cookies, white rice and white bread

How to Avoid Empty Calories?

Avoid deep-fried foods. Instead of deep-frying, use other methods of cooking.  Avoid sweetened drinks and canned drinks. Try whole grains instead of refined grains. Whole grains are packed with beneficial fiber and antioxidants. For instance, have a slice of whole-wheat bread instead of white bread. Have a bowl of whole-grain breakfast cereals or unsweetened oatmeal instead of corn flakes. Snack on fruits! Instead of prowling for a box of crackers in the mid afternoon, snack on fruits. Better yet, dip them in low-fat yogurt to get additional calcium and protein.

Antioxidants in a Nutshell

Walnuts are not a hard nut to crack when it comes to nutrition. 

Walnuts are the star of Waldorf salad but they'd be at home in any serving of salad greens. And they are a nutritional wonder. Walnuts outrank most nuts in disease-fighting antioxidants. Eating them regularly helps cut calories - but doesn't pack on the kilos. And recent research with mice and rats suggests that these nuts may help prevent breast cancer and sharpen memory.

Heyyy Guys!!!! I found out something interesting to be shared with y'all. Actually, this video had been made few years ago, 2008 to be precise. But no matter how, this is really interesting to be watched as it delivers you a picture about how thing is going on which u might not think about it before and/or might not realize it until you watch this video ;)

This video shows how reactive is coca cola since it can cracked the unpeeled boiled egg and can preserved the texture of the boiled egg for about 1 year !! It's CRAZY !!!

It's really horrible, isn't it ???

So, still dare to drink COCA-COLA or any kinds of soft-drinks ??? LOL XD

Well, actually coca-cola contains caffeine citrate, citric acid, and phosphoric acid as its ingredients which can dissolve egg's shell that made up of calcium, phosphorus, and sodium. The compositions of egg's shell are more or less similar with our teeth, that is why when we consumed soft-drinks all the time, our teeth will be damaged seriously. Besides, we may experience osteoporosis as well since our bones will lack of calcium due to calcium dissolves in those acids that play a role in coca-cola or soft-drinks ingredients. So, we better avoid soft-drinks for our health !! ;)
