Why I Can?t Stop Eating Potato Chips

Men Are Also The Cause For Miscarriage
2008-01-04 11:26:00 Although men’s reproductive life is much longer than women’s, male fertility still declines with age. That’s because as men get older, sperm may not swim as well or may have minor DNA damage. According to Prof Rob from Andrology Australia, miscarriage rates are also higher among couples where the male is older. So, are you thinking ... More About: Miscarriage

Who Needs Slimming Program?
2007-12-26 05:16:00 I was told by my late coach that Christy Cheung from Mary France Bodyline, actually did some vigorous exercises to get into shape, other than attending slimming sessions. The exercises alone are enough to get a slim figure, but she was sponsored anyway.A friend went for the first slimming session and she lost 200 grams. She paid S$700 for 10 sessions, plus slimming pills (to block fat and reduce eating appetite) which sum up to S$790. After doing the procedures of body-wrap, toning massages and others, the main emphasis given was diet and exercise.However, the condition was to cut down on her original meals by half. Otherwise the cream to increase body's metabolism that has been applied won't work and she would gain back the 200 grams lost.So who needs a slimming program when you can do it at the comfort of your own home?

Putting God In A Relationship
2007-12-19 18:23:00 Relationships bound to have problems. Even a minor detail could trigger a spark, such as choosing the colour of a T-shirt...It happens. What if someone tried to enter into your lives and started creating delusional stories? Furthermore, in order to make you believe in his/her story, he/she started preaching that hopefully God would punish for those who "cheated" or God would eventually lead the way.In my opinion, bringing God into the picture is utterly....retarded.First and foremost, in my religion, a relationship before marriage has already been frowned upon.So I guess that method won't work anymore.

In case of an emergency and you are out of shaving cream, instead of spreading on your toast, you can slather it onto your wet skin for a smooth shave. I'm not sure if this could apply to men too?If you are suffering from dinosaur elbows, treat them with a lemon juice/baking soda paste.When your hand stinks after you had made shrimp with garlic, you could rub a few coffee beans together. This releases oil from the beans which absorbs the smell.Lastly, if you are suffering from smelly armpits, splash a little vinegar under your arms. This method also does away with deodorant stains on your blouse or shirt. Hmmm...I'm not sure if anyone has tried this before... More About: Beauty , Life , Body , Tips , Emergency
Can I Have Both?
2007-12-12 13:29:00 Sometimes I wonder if one can be surrounded by both close friends and family. Although I have friends from way back since primary and secondary school, I could feel the distance created between us. I know I'm busy with work and school but when I plan for outings, it's either they can't make it, or I'm not a good event planner. I have a colleague who is in her late 40s. Although she's not married, she had a very good friend who took care of her when she met with an accident.Perhaps God is fair? More About: Personal
Why I Can't Stop Eating Potato Chips
2007-12-11 12:20:00 Have you ever wonder why no matter how much you eat the potato chips, you still won't get full? I think I can even finish up the whole packet of Lays while watching a 2 hour movie. That includes popcorn and other crunchy delicacies.Perhaps it's because of the "crunch" sound, not the taste. When you bite crispy or crunchy foods, it increases the "enjoyment" rating. That makes you unable to stop and even ask for more.There's even an ultrasound test to study this matter, and amazingly apples are on the top list, followed by chips and biscuits.Also read:Why Do Fries Taste So Good More About: Food , Potato , Stop , Eating , Chips

Easy Ways To Get In Shape
2007-12-08 10:46:00 I read an interesting article regarding the easiest and cheapest way to get in shape, other than doing a cardio workout. All you need is to do these 5 exercises below and don't forget to breathe!Calf raise. Stand with 2 feet shoulder-width apart, arms by your side and a dumb-bell. You can substitute dumb-bells with a small water bottle in each hand.Abdominal crunch. Only lift your shoulders and upper back off the floor. Don't apply strain on your neck and head.Triceps kickback. Kneel on all fours. Bend you arm at the elbow but your upper arm should stay in line with side of your body. Leg press. Stand at position same as calf raise. Keep your back straight and don't bend your knees past a 90 degree angle.Lateral raise. Same standing position as above. Keep your elbows slightly bent.

2007-12-07 04:13:00 From the beginning I started blogging, I was introduced to Link Referral.It really increases my blog traffic.

Travelers With Food Allergies
2007-12-05 06:24:00 I found this site, allergytranslation.com, especially for travelers with food allergies. What if you go to this restaurant and you can't describe your allergy in their language? So this site provides you with so called "Chef Cards" after you have selected the types of allergies you are suffering.Let's say you are going to France, so the card would look like below:It's unique isn't it? But you have to pay $8 to purchase the card. If you are interested, check out the site and see if the language you wanted is available. More About: Food , Allergies
How To Reduce Sunburn Fast
2007-12-04 03:03:00 No matter how long I remained in the sun, I won't get tanned. Instead, my skin would just turn lobster red despite the long hours I spent in tennis. So this left my friends puzzled =PWhat's my secret?My late tennis coach recommended us to buy aloe vera gel. His mother used to apply the sap, which can be found in the aloe vera plant itself, on the red patch areas. Amazingly, it works!The aloe vera gel is excellent for sunburns, healing of first degree burns and minor second degree burns. It reduces the pain of a burn very fast and quickly and one can apply it immediately in case of any type of burn. The cooling effect of the gel not only reduces the pain but also helps in healing the wound quickly.So if you want to be as fair as Nicole Kidman, buy one now =D More About: Personal , Reduce , Fast , Burn , Sunburn
Chewing Gum Stuck In Your Hair
2007-12-03 04:26:00 Although chewing gums are banned in Singapore, my cousins managed to "smuggle" some in. When I was young, I was chewing some gum while massaging my mom's head. Being a naughty child, I placed the gum onto my mom's hair, and I got panicked! *^@#$!!!I can't remove them at all! So I grabbed a nail clipper, and start cutting her hair.Mom: "What are you doing?"Me: "Errr....nothing."Luckily the gum was at the ends of the hair. If it was at the roots, she would have one bald patch =P Sorry mommy... (She still doesn't know about this situation yet...sshhhhh!) If you are experiencing this similar situation, all you can do is to apply a generous amount of peanut butter and rub the gum till it comes out. Easy, and all you need is patience!According to 1st-time-mom.com, you can also apply salad oil other than peanut butter. More About: Hair , Chewing Gum , Chewing
Plaster And Its Usefulness
2007-12-02 00:33:00 Some people would just ignore themselves getting plastered when they experience a minor cut, and that includes me. After reading its benefits, perhaps me, or rather you, would not think twice of applying one. Heals faster. Plaster contains Hydrocolloid. It maintains a moist environment around the wound, which prevents your skin from drying, and also avoids a hard scar formation. Hence, it's better to change every few days. Contains painkillers. It temporarily relieves pain by dispensing painkilling ingredients on to your skin.Stop blood flow. M-doc is the component that stops blood flow by forming a gel layer over the cut. So it is good for small shaving cuts that won't stop bleeding. Protects from bacteria. There is a clear flexible-film that is "sprayed" over the cuts and grazes to protect from bacteria infection.

Sometimes I can't remember my actions. Such as, can't recall if I'd switched off the office lights, or lock the door =PI like to go out on rainy days, rather than scorching bright, sunny ones.If the other person is talkative/noisy, I tend to keep quiet.I eat durian with sambal belacan (spicy sauce) and rice.I don't drink, or eat anything that has coffee in it, but I drink Nescafe.Sometimes I can hear what others are speaking within the heart. I know it's weird, but this always happened between me, mom and sis. I have this habit of touching my upper lips while lying down.
