Barcelona - Park Guell

Have you heard of Park Guell?

Dont worry.I never heard of the park until I watched
the final of ANTM cycle 7 between Caridee and Melrose
which took place in Park Guell.



Have you heard of Antonio Gaudi?

 
Me too.
Well,he's  the one who gives breath to the unique and
highly individualistic designs
namely Parc Guell, Sagrada Familia etc...

Well, as you can see, his architecture takes a natural form.You can never see squares,rectangles or 
triangles in his masterpiece.

Guides to avoid cancer

Since my Surgery cycle is all about cancer,
so I thought of doing some research and chipped in some of
those that i've  discovered.

CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder.
Sugar substitutes like Equal are made with Aspartame and it is harmful.
Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color.
Better alternative is sea salt.


b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus,
especially in the gastrointestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus.
By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk,
cancer cells are being starved.



c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment.
A meat-based diet is acidic and
it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork.
Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones
and parasites, which are all harmful,
especially to people with cancer.

d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice,
whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruit help put
the body into an alkaline environment.



e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine.
Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties.
Water - best to drink purified water, or filtered,
to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water.
Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.



So, what could you do then?



1. Supplements build up the immune system
(IP6, anti-oxidants, vitamins,
minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells
to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like
vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis(programmed
cell death)the body's normal method of disposing of
damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.



2. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit.
A proactive and positive spirit will help the
cancer warrior be a survivor.
Anger, resentment, and bitterness put the body into
a stressful and acidic environment.
Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit.
Learn to relax and enjoy life.



3. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an
oxygenated environment. Exercising daily and
deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to
the cellular level.

Of course,there are more to it and the list just goes on forever.
But I just hope that this will bring awareness to those
 who read my blog.
God Bless!!

Another Miss South Carolina?

I'm pretty sure everybody knows about the "famous" Miss South Carolina for her superb Q&A session on map shortage in Iraq.
Well, watch the video below.
This beautiful lady here was in a beauty pageant in Phillipine and her Q&A session were as good as Miss South Carolina.
The only thing that was different between them was that
this girl here won.

Hotline for miserable SPM students

Hotline for miserable students( by thestar)

PETALING JAYA: Kuala Lumpur Hospital has set up a
special hotline – 03-26155782 – to let students vent their
frustrations on their SPM or STPM results.


The hotline will be open from 8am to 5pm daily and will be
operational until March 28.

The STPM and SPM results were released on Tuesday and
yesterday respectively.

Education director-general Datuk Alimuddin
Mohd Dom
said: “Even if their results are not what the students
expected,
it is not the end of the world.”

He urged students to look at other options such as
re-sitting their examinations, applying for entry
to community colleges or opting for vocational
programmes.


As I browsed through thestar today , I saw this article and

found it astonishing.Its good that they had this hotline
thingy for
the students to consult to ( though i think nobody's

gonna call except making prank calls)


But to put the headline
"HOTLINE FOR MISERABLE STUDENTS"
on a "so called" national paper,was absurbed.
Seriously, who wanted
to be called Miserable.
In case if you dont know,literally in thestar context
Miserability in students=Zero intellectual


Do you want your children to be called
miserable just
because they didnt do well in one exam.
Do you think that students will call the hotline
after being called
"Miserable"

I felt that they should be more
sensitive in putting their
words. People are reading from their websites
globally and if
this is the
way they write, I will really feel
that they are lowering its standard down the stream
allowing unilateral hurtful words toward
those who has already been hurt.

DAP - Keadilan - PAS ?

After a long 5o years, finally Malaysians have decided to vote for the opposition whom they believe will mark the dawn of a new era in Malaysian history.I'm happy that finally Malaysians opted for a
CHANGE. I believe that democracy in Malaysia will never be the same
again.



As everyone would have known by now that Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu together with his party, MIC have closed their curtain.


I guess the Indian communities must have been very pissed with him.
Well, the tribe have spoken.

But then again this is just the beginning for the opposition.
I dont know
how they are going on from here.I mean seriously, DAP-Keadilan-PAS.
The 3 of them other than sharing the same common goals which is to
see BN down,they have nothing in common.Their manifesto is so much different from each other.I'm curious how this
joined-force is going to work out.



Well, this 5 years will be critical
for both the opposition and the BN.




No matter what, I'm still proud to be a Malaysian.
And I bet everyone out there feels the same way too.
Let's us all hope for a better Malaysia.

Female Circumcision - Barbaric act!!

I am a faithful viewer of every cycle of
America's Next Top Model (ANTM).
I believe that everybody knows what this reality show is all about.
Now that cycle 10 is on air,I thought it will be just like
the previous cycle.
But what capture my attention is this girl named Fatima who is a
survivor of "Female Genital Mutilation". (FGM)

Female Genital Mutilation?
I'm pretty sure most of us don't know what this is.
In short FGM= Female circumcision.

I am truly disdain when I google search it.
I mean I've heard of male circumcision but women?
Medically, male circumcision is an effective intervention for health
purposes because the foreskin may harbor bacteria and become
infected if it is not cleaned properly.

Whereas for female circumcision, I dont see the purpose of women being circumcised. What
saddens me
most
is that this practice is widely perform today especially
in Africa because they believe that
it is meant to preserve the chastity of young girls by reducing their
desire
for sexual intercourse.
And many young girls are dying because of this barbaric act.

Female circumcision=excision of the clitoris, stitching of the
right labia major to the left leaving a small whole for urination and
menses purposes.
It is commonly performed between the ages of 4 and 8.
!!!CHILD ABUSE!!!


And FGM doesnt just stop haunting them here.It haunts them and
ripped them off their future.
FGM causes urinary and reproductive tract infections, due to
obstructed flow of urine and menstrual blood.
The aweful part is that during the first time of having sexual
intercourse will often be extremely painful, and infibulated women
will need the labia majora to be opened, to allow their
husband access to the vagina.
Thus,the husband will have to cut open the labia majora with a knife.

I feel that FGM is being practiced out of ignorance,and for
selfish male-chauvinistic reasons.I wish that I can increase
the awareness of the public to FGM through my writings.
Let us all stand against FGM!!

Food-for-Thought day 2

The poor gives out of their lack.
Are you able from your abundance?

Love Your Enemy..

Who of us do not really have a hard time living
out this very difficult precept?

It is hard to do, perhaps, for several reasons.

1. Once we are hurt we focus on the pain that we are nursing inside. This sometimes makes it difficult to see beyond the self. So we lick
our wounds and engage in self-pity.

2. Our desire to get even. We sometimes feel that unless our enemies suffer just as we have suffered, we won’t really be at peace. So we engage in different tactics just so we can exact vengeance.

But I feel that instead of hating them, love them, pray for them in all humility. Once you are able to lift them up to God, you know that you can never remain that person’s enemy.

You cannot go on hating a person in the presence of God. Hence, when you pray for your enemy, the resentment in you dies. And once this happens, your attitude towards the enemy changes. And even if the thought of him comes, you’ll never be agitated.

And I know that Im just a normal human being.And in my walks of life..Im learning the process of forgiving.

Do not despair if your faith is weak.

Everyone starts with a weak faith.

Your faith can be fed & grow strong .
Faith requires evidence to rest upon.
