Importance of Salad

I have been stressing on the importance of eating fruits lately. Probably it was growing up that makes me realize it's time to take care of the body before it gets too old. 
I have make Friday the Salad day while Saturday the Juicy Day....Salad day for eating salad after my dinner and juicy day for either Apple juice or Orange juice. I think in order to maintain this diet, it requires discipline and it is worth it. 




Eating salad has a lot of positive effects. It is one of the simplest and also the healthiest food habits that anyone can commit to. In fact, I think everyone should declare a day as "Salad day". 

Eating salad leads to an increase in fiber intake. Salads provide the body with a lot of fiber which in turn means lower cholesterol and less constipation. When you eat it, you will feel fuller and thus, consume less food during your meal and eventually helps to lose weight. 

Vegetables and fruit are rich with many nutrients which contribute to our overall health. Besides that, when we incorporate olive oil, avocado, or nuts into our salad we help our body with the absorption of protective phytochemicals.

Why the need to be idle?

Have you ever wonder why is it important to be idle? Well, there are a lot of people in this life that are busy with every day life so much so that they neglect the importance of reflection. I wonder what it means for people who rush through their daily schedule. Well, I am not the type who would pack myself with a lot of activities everyday but even when I find it difficult to have free time, I will cut on my sleeping time, play my guitar a bit, take some time to read and reflect...and learn because I think it is important.

Being busy does not always means real work. The objective of work is production or accomplishment and either of these two involves forethought, system, planning, intelligence, honest purpose as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not equal to do doing.

Hopefully, more of us will understand the importance of real work and not merely being busy.

How to improve your Page Rank?

I came across the term "Page Rank" quite a few years ago. It was probably due to the time when I started blogging and considering making extra money via blogging. Honestly, come to think of it, it is quite impossible to be able to improve your Page Rank immediately. I've always wonder what it takes to be a good writer as I felt that I'm not good enough. First of all, I was not really good in my vocabulary and once I'm limited to the same words after a few times, my articles, post and essays become boring.
Anyway, I'll left that for the next topic...maybe I could name it "Ways to make your writings interesting."?? Something like that...well, I'll leave that for another time.

I learn that it is not easy to improve your Page Rank. However, there are a few things that you can do as a blogger, writer and webpage designer....

  1. It is important that your Keywords are found in page headers, titles, making sure that it is the first part of your content. After all, the search engines work based on keywords.
  2. Your website or blog design should be simple and not suffocated.
  3. You could try submit some of your popular posts into website directories or others. You could also consider using Facebook, Twitter or other social network to help improve your blog.
  4. Write and submit your articles to online magazines.
Well, there are many others but as of now, I'm only experimenting with these methods. Well, at least I am making use of my free time.

Terrible feeling...

Today, I went to the hair saloon that I used to go and it did not open. My mom decided to go to the other shop and I followed...it was a disaster....the lady did not cut my hair in a way that I wanted at all.
I was so damn angry that my face was dark for the rest of the day. Mom complained about the way I reacted and I was not feeling good...I should said, felt worse. It was her fault in the first place to go the hair saloon.
Anyway, I just needed some space to vent out my frustration and these terrible feelings...

How to get rid of acne?

As I was surfing the web, I was actually looking at some of the ways to get rid of acne as I had acne. Since I am still on break, I decided to look for ways to have a "smoother' face. Haha!!

For those of you who are not sure about the term "acne", it is actually one of the major issue faced by teenagers and youth. However, we are seeing this problem occuring even among the young adults and adults these days. It is important for us to learn to take care of our face so that it is clean and do not have acne.

Here are some of the simple tips for you to get rid of acne and I'm still trying with it. Will post more photos to show the effects later:

Drink a lot of water.
Wash your face consistently.
Apply medicine to get rid of acne.
Try not to touch your face so often with your hands.

What you do when you have so much free time?

Being in the holiday gives me a lot of free time. Normally, I would love to sit back and relax....with a cup of coffee, entertaining and satisfying my lust for such delicious taste. Sometimes, I would just be sitting down, looking at my laptop or the netbook, reading some articles, checking out on my emails, with some soft music turn on to thrill me and gives me a relaxing feeling.

Well, I'm not the type who like to sleep as I find it to be a waste of time. So, I have even more time to waste. That's when I start another blog on fitness.
Probably as I had a lot of free time, I took time reading some of the MLC material. I won't said I'm studying 24/7 daily but I'm putting in some effort at least.

In a way, I am looking forward to the coming semester this year. Hopefully, I'll be able to do well in my examination this coming semester after this break.

Having a lot of free time...

I have quite a lot of free time in Penang. Probably because I couldn't find the right jacket to buy, I feel kinda moody. Anyway, I was spending a lot of time playing with the HTC P3600i since I have the Digi broadband with me. (my brother went to US so I could use his first...I might consider getting one myself later)

Well, recently, I just installed the emoze....a push for email in Windows Mobile. I guess it is probably not as good as the one in Blackberry but it's definitely quite useful. The function is good enough for me. Although the phone is quite old in comparison to many others, I'm quite happy with the performance at the moment. So, I'm not going to buy any new phones at the moment.

Anyway, I'm quite looking forward to university this time around...probably it was because of my last semester. You can find it in my latest post in CoffeeConversation.
