NUTS

Nuts!!!...

Oh no... no.. I'm not nuts!... I am talking about the nut as in botany... Happenend to walk into 7-11 today and pick a bottle of nuts... It's festive season (Chinese New Year!) and offers were too tempting... It's like a box of chocolates. Dip your hands and see what you get!... Cashews, pistachios, figs, almonds, raisins... Yummy! nah... NUTTY!!.... As I pick and enjoy one by one, I feel why can't I try a mouthful ;)... Well, not a bad idea :D.... The mixed taste of nuts is just... hmmm... I have heard that nuts can de wonders to our body... In terms of health as well as beauty... Also, too much of it can be dangerous as well... Should you want more info... always look up http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nut_(fruit) ....

It's always a good thing to have a mouthful of nuts than a mouthful of chips :D ...

Eat Healthy... Live Healthy...

How real are the reality shows!

This century has become the "REALITY" century!... Just how many reality shows are there?? You see one.. you see 2... you see 3 even and get overwhelmed and say "wow!"... now you see 100.. you see 200.. you see 300.. and say "What the heck!" There used to be a time when peepz rushed to get home to watch Survivors! now that show seems to have taken the back position!... Now there are Idols and Big B's! Just how real are they?? I dunno.. somehow, i feel that the contents are not transparent enough! It's just my opinion or is it the opinion of us!

To tell the truth, the only sms i have ever sent is for the Kaun Banega Crorepati... If not anything, it had many challenging q's. But never have I understood why I have never been tempted to follow suit with many of my friends in voting for candidates who take part in singing/dancing etc competitions!... Somehow I feel that whatever the vote dictates, there is a higher power dictating the winner. Nah... I'm not talking of the Almighty. But the kingmakers of the industry / the show! So why waste my money :D... The reason I say this is that, in almost 99% of the shows, the no. of votes is not mentioned... how much the winner got, the 2nd runnerup got etc... Hence, the disturbing feeling if REALITY shows are REAL :D

lil Star

Twinkle Twinkle Little star...
...How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high...
...Like a diamond in the sky

Aren't we all familiar with this nursery rhyme! .... I am mentioning it here as I was singing this to my 5 month today!... As she fell asleep on my shoulder, this rhyme was continuosly playing in my mind. And why not... I was thinking though those 9 and 1/2 months when I carried my baby in my womb. She is the most beautiful star I have ever seen :D ... She is my life now. But little do I know what future holds for her.. what will she become.. how will she behave... her career.. her family... her children!.. ho!... am i going over the moon now!... As I sing this rhyme to her, I bless, May she have the blessings of Allah in everything she do (Ameen).

Image Streaming

What comes to your mind when don't think of anything! ... Nothing??? As much as I do not know about the possibility of seeing nothing, I BELIEVE it is impssible to not think of anything. Well, it is another story that you may not b aware of what you are thinkng. Have you ever realized dreaming about holidaying in, lets say, switzerland while just looking intently / casually at a grassblade! ... I am talking about literally seeing yourself enjoying in Swiss.

It has happened on many occassions that I was startled awake by mom calling name. However much I tried, I am not able to bring back the entire experience to mind again although, on my best days, I manage to bring a few pieces together... Well, it was never a one (wo)man story as it happens with quite a few of the girls I hang out with (hmm... birds of the same kind flock 2gether!)...

Rememeber the book I was talking about on my first day!... It talks about how you can use such experiences to your advantage. It calls this kind of dreaming / seeing things, Image streaming. You have to get yourself in REM mode in order to be able to do something like this. It will take some practise and effort to achieve this. Once you get the hang of it, you are going to have a fun roller coaster ride :D ...

The objective is to increase the brain power by being able to associate things freely... As our brain starts building connection with random things, it will elp us come with new innovative ideas, help us remember somthing we might have forgotten long ago etc etc.

Come to think of it, our brain takes and absorbs info like a sponge (somebody said this before???) The more we use it, the better it becomes... so lets train it do something positive for us and for others...

Adios for now .... sleepy :(

rssHugger Review

I was looking for sites that are interesting.. similar to my blog and for some enhancements when i got into teh rsshugger website. Till then, i din think of marketing my blog or accelerating traffic. Rsshugger seem to be quite cool. With its varying features, I believe it could provide quality readers who share similar and varying interets like mine. Personal reviewing and ranking are some of the clicks that scored with me at rsshugger. They helps to build loyalty as well as encourage participation to a better lvl.

This is a review based on the initial contact. Will update more depending on the response. Hope to have a safe journey YEAH :D !

When it comes to feeling good! what could be more endearing than knowing that what you enjoy is healthy, risk-free, enriching and what not!... yupz, who doesn't enjoy a piece of dark chocolate! ok! stop the waterfalls!

Good news first or the bad news!

Ok!... Bad news :D .... Calories, although lower, exists!!!!

Now the good news!....

Dark chocolate has the ablity to boost brain functions! It provides protection against diseses such as cancer and heart disease. Eating approximately 20-150g of dark chocolate can be very enriching for the brain allowing it to think faster and for a longer period of time. On the contrary, caffeine found in coke, tea and coffee are only effective to a certain extent reaching a plateau quicker, draining our energy in the long run. It is proven that dark chocolates has much more health benefit than green tea!...

And note this peepz, Dr Helen berg found that in countries where drinking dark chocolate formed part of the diet, people lived longer and happier... hmm...

Now go eat some dark chocz and take an IQ test!.. haha...

Speaking of it, i found that I have above average intelligence (din know that!) 124 was the score from http://www.testcafe.com/iqtest/iqfree.cgi .

*****A person whose IQ score falls in the range of 111-128 is considered to be "above average intelligence".

First Day!

Hi all...

Today is my first blogging session... well sounds much like the first day in school! little nervous.. little tensed... you know... the usual writer's block!... I seriously want to improve my writing skills... And everyone says that the more you practise, the more you get better at it! I believe so too....

Recently... I've been overwhelmed by the thoughts about dreams... I have been dreaming a lot lately.. hehe... it doesn't have anything to do with the increase in the no. of chocolates I've been having for the past 2 days.. They are very vivid... hmm...like, there is noo connection... well I suppose that's what dreams are all about. And guess what!.. I bumped into (well.. not exactly) into this book on Enstienien theory!... It speaks about Why Einstien is Einstien!... Meaning, he is none different than any of us.. but his mind worked differently... He did something called image streaming... OK!... it's not like he did something.. but he is capable of daydreaming! or you can call it dreaming at will! ... I am still reading.. Let's see what I can learn!... hehe... Einstien in the making... I WISH!... I am opening a poll to get some feedback... How many of us actually dream! Pls do take the poll and help me out with this... Thanks a ton ;)
