Cholesterol: What it is and what it does… Cholesterol is a steroid manufactured by the liver. It is used by the body to synthesize various hormones including sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone) and adrenal hormones (cortisol, aldosterone, dehydroepiandosterone.) In the presence of sunlight cholesterol in the skin is turned into vitamin D. And in your brain it is converted into neurotransmitters. The liver manufactures approximately 1000 mg of cholesterol per day. What is not used is converted into bile salts and excreted from the body via the intestinal tract. Things that make cholesterol go up: A diet low in soluble fiber. Sometimes, when the diet is low in fiber, it is possible to reabsorb cholesterol through the intestinal wall, causing the level of cholesterol in the blood to rise. Most fibers, by the way, are types of carbohydrates that we can’t digest because we lack the necessary enzymes to break them down into sugar. Some fibers are water soluble. They dissolve...

I always look forward for a long weekend. A week of rest and rejuvenate... relaxation! Do nothing! Lazing around! Is this signs of old age? Arrgghh... I need a massage! I wish I'm staying near the beach, so that I can lay on the beach, read a book and feel the breeze of the ocean... So nice! Hello Island, Beach, Ocean... and of coz u people... I'll be there soon! The Ocean The ocean is very wide and very deep When I dream, I smell the breeze Which is so sweet, I see the never ending waves I wonder where they go.... Do they go to a land, that I could know Birds fly in the wind, catching fish with eyes so keen I can hear the sound, I wonder what it means The ocean so blue, like the clouds of the sky Part of life, flying by Let me open my arms, let me feel the wind I can go to another time and I know I will fit in I want to sail on a boat and hold my fingers in the cool water As the waves come to me, I am one with the ocean My life is now free, let me taste the drops upon my ...

A man was walking along a California beach and stumbled across an old lamp. He picked it up and rubbed it and out popped a genie! The genie said, "OK. You released me from the lamp, blah, blah blah. This is the fourth time this month and I'm getting a little sick of these wishes. So you can forget about getting three wishes. You only get one wish. The man sat down on the beach and thought about it for awhile. Then he said, "I've always wanted to go to Hawaii; but I'm scared to fly and I get very seasick. Could you build me a bridge to Hawaii so that I can drive over there to visit?" The genie laughed and said, "That's impossible! Think of the logistics of that! How would the supports ever reach the bottom of the Pacific? Think of how much concrete... how much steel...! No. Think of another wish." The man tried to think of another wish. Finally, he said, "I've been married and divorced several times. My wives always said that I don't...

Happy Mother’s day to all mothers in the world. Mak, I will always love you. You are more than anything in the world to me. I always make you worry, but it never my intention.

My gastritis is getting worse. I don't want to have this pain every morning. I've finished my medication, but why the pain still poking my stomach? I've stopped drinking coffee, completely stop! A coffee drinker stopped drink coffee.. haha! I used alot of naproxen as a pain killer before. That is one that lead to my gastritis too. And the third one is stress. I took Antiacid, but it seems not helping at all. I'm controlling all my food intake, no acidic food and chillies. I read somewhere, it saying to eat certain categories of food separately. Patients are advised to eat protein foods by themselves or with green leafy vegetables; to eat fruits alone; and to avoid combining proteins and starches. Next will be the treatment... I will need to see my Dr for an advise.

I had this serious stomach pain almost everyday since last week, but I thought it's because of some food I took. I had to cancel my meeting with my friend last weekend, I can't really sit in the office, I had cold sweat and sometime felt like vomiting after meal. I've been delaying my appointment with Dr., due to my busy-ness and scared to know what is really happening. Today, I had the courage to go to the clinic, accompanying me, my two nephews ... and Dr. said.. that's gastric! Your blood pressure is 120/70 and you have to continue taking the medcine for about two weeks, than you should be fine... !

mmmm.... where are you Owen??

"What's that?" "Hello..!!"

My today is so dull. Wondering what will be for tomorrow? Thinking, what have I done gracefully this year?

Wow, Ryan Giggs doing yoga... let us Yoga! Giggs says much of the credit for overcoming injuries in his case goes to yoga. This eco-friendly mat is stickier than most and provides excellent grip for your downward-facing dog, yet it weighs only 2lb 3oz. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/men/article5252086.ece #

I was invited for a free back massage at True SPA last April and decided to join (after persuaded by the consultant) as a member to enjoy their services at a very (quite) cheap consider to others in Klang Valley. As a frequent visitor to most of the SPA, I thought why not to join and stay at one place… After one month as a member, I tried to call for an appointment, the miserable started, and I experience the most terrible customer service ever. Till now, I only managed to get one Massage Treatment. I would like to share here, the same complaints from other clients… (Taken from www.shoppingsalesqueen.com ) I was invited for a session of free back massage at True Spa to try out their service and facilities. They were professional from the start where they had a representative call to explain about the free offer right up to setting the appointment of the session. On the day itself, a couple of hours before the session, they even rang up to remind me and to say that if I’m unable to m...

I just do not know why but I just hate him, maybe for his arrogance. I know he is a great driver but now he is joining Ferrari, and I do not think I will support them. I’ll retired for next season... Kimi Raikkonen will always be my favorite since he started his F1 career with Sauber, but Hakkinen, he is the reasons I started to watch F1...

Recently I had published a side-by-side comparison of the iPhone 3G and T-Mobile G1 DVD Converter which evoked an interesting debate. (from: iphonehacks) Here comes another side-by-side comparison of Apple's iPhone 3G with RIM's BlackBerry Storm, which is considered as another iPhone Killer. BlackBerry Storm is expected to be released some time in November exclusively by Verizon in the US and Vodafone in UK. Hardware Spec Dimension: Storm = 4.4 x 2.4 x 0.6 inches iPhone 3G = 5.5 x 2.4 x 0.48 inches Weight: Storm = 155g iPhone = 133g Screen Size: Storm = 3.2 inches iPhone = 3.5 inches Camera: Storm = 3.2M pixel iPhone = 2M pixel Memory: Storm = 1GB on board + 16GB expandable with MicroSD iPhone = 8GB / 16GB (No expansion) Battery: Storm = 5.5hrs talk time / 360 hrs standby iPhone = 5hrs talk time / 300 hrs standby Unlike T-Mobile G1 that we have reviewed earlier, BlackBerry Storm "steals" the design and looks much like the iPhone 3G. However, it does not look as sleek...

Ahlan wa Sahlan Ya Ramadan! Selamat berpuasa kepada semua saudara ku... Semoga Ramadhan kali ini mempertingkatkan amalan kita dan memohon kepada Allah agar perjuangan kita dipermudahkan dan diberkati. Amin...

Some people think they have the most important job in the world and couldn’t be bothered with other people’s job or work or even have a little respect towards them. For some people, your job or work are worthless. They don’t even think that sometime, the lousiest works are the most important work such as garbage collector. Your work is your responsibility, no matter how little it is, how small your contribution towards your family or even country is, you have to do it with full hearted. We simply cannot do thing half-heartedly. Remember; always make requests; never give orders.

Something to ponder and share… Sometimes a friendships can turns to more… Are you considering having a love affair with a married or engaged man? Before you do something you may regret, consider the pros and cons of having an affair. But what I like to share is only the bad part , nothing good about having an affair… Before you have an affair, consider the implications the affair might have on other people. The Downsides of Having an Affair While there are several positive elements of having a love affair with a married man, the downsides are many and potentially devastating... Getting Caught The married man is putting his marriage or relationship at risk having an affair with you, and you risk the same if you are also married. You may not care about being caught, but your feelings may change if your spouse finds out and files for divorce. Sometimes we don’t realize what we have until we lose it. Being caught involves more risks than just divorce. It can also ruin your career or your r...
