Die to be size 0

Here's something i would like to share. Anorexia. I'm sure all of you know what does it mean. But if you don't, just continue reading and you'll find out soon. Perhaps it isn't that common in Malaysia yet but it is very common in western area. Of course, if nothing is done, this problem will rise in Malaysia too. I know that many almost all the girls are dying to be thin. To achieve their goal, they would do anything, everything. 


That includes taking laxatives, dieting pills etc. These may help you to lose weight but remember, it also harms your body at the same time. You might not see or feel the effect now but overtime, you'll see them. True facts about laxatives: It does not help in losing weight. Laxatives hasten the elimination of undigested remains of food in the large intestine and colon. The large intestine and colon do not digest food. They collect the undigested remains and hold it and absorb water until it is defaecated. weight loss may be felt but it is only temporarily due to much of the fluids has been expelled from the body. Misuse of laxatives may cause dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. Prolonged use will also cause constipation. 


Some go through starvation in order to lose weight fast. There's a diet known as water diet where  a person only drinks water throughout the whole day. Excess intake of water causes electrolyte imbalance too. Here's a case. Terri Schiavo. She tried to keep her weight down by dieting, drinking only liquids - 10 - 15 glasses of iced tea. She was also a bulimic patient. Due to lack of oxygen, she was in coma for two and a half months. She was then diagnosed in a vegetative sate. 


Due to afraid of gaining weight, girls will constantly weigh themselves, making sure that they're only LOSING weight. Does the weight really matter? i mean, yea, you shouldn't eat till you're obese but at a healthy weight. Beauty isn't measure by the scale. Beauty isn't all about 40kg or 35 kg alright. You don't have to be super light to be pretty. 


Every girls' dream to have a small waist. boohoo. Small waist equals to sexy, pretty. no, it's not. you can also be hot at 28, 30. Look at some of the celebrities, they're not skinny. They're toned. Some of them are size 10 or maybe more but they still look gorgeous. 

Luisel Ramos

A 22 years old South America model. She had been on a three month diet of green leaves and diet coke after  being told that she could be an international sensation IF she lose weight. She suffered a heart attack after stepping off a runway. 

Ana Carolina Reston

A 21 years old Brazilian model. Weighted at 40 kg, measured 1.72cm. Suffered kidney malfunction due to anorexia nervosa and bilimia including diet consisting of only apples and tomatoes.

Model industry should really stop all these 'size zero' thingy. They should produce healthy, toned models. Not skinny bones models. Plus, the society should also stop judging girls by their size. Huge girls are often criticized. They will be called horrible names such as cow, hippo, Shrek and so on. Girls face the pressure to be thin by their boyfriends, girlfriends, people around them. You felt insecure, jealous, challenged because your best friend is thin, she wears xs. Your boyfriend keeps telling you how hot these girls (thin) are, and you are nothing like them. Do you think it is worth it to ruin yourself just to fit in? 


Do you think it is worth it to put yourself in a terrible state where you'll be insert with tubes, lying half dead on the hospital bed to be skinny? 

You are blessed with a wonderful life. There are many things out there in the world waiting for you to explore. Greater things are yet to come. There are people out there who wish to live but do not have a chance. So why do you waste yours? Love yourself.

We are beautiful and we don't have to be size zero to prove it. The beauty of a lady comes from the inside. 

Beauty is not a size or shape.
It is a charm.
It is being real.
It is being true to oneself.

As we know, we are constantly attacked by free radicals. I'm sure you've heard of this 'free radicals' word. But what do you really understand from that word? Well, scientifically, free radicals are unstable oxygen atoms. An atom contains a nucleus which is made up of protons and neutrons. You usually find pairs of electrons circling around the nucleus. If the electrons are in pairs, it is a stable atom. When one of the electrons gets pulled away from the oxygen atom, this is when the problem arises. This is how you get an unstable oxygen atom which is also known as a free radical. So, basically, free radicals are bad for your health. 

This causes serious damage to the normal cell. In short, your body is rusting. Free radicals causes oxidation in your body. Here are some of the diseases due to excess free radicals:

- Aging
- Various cancers
- Cataracts
Alzheimer's
- Coronary Heart disease

In a day, it is estimated that every single cell in your body gets attacked by a free radical about 10,000 times! And as we get older the number of free radicals increases. And do you know, exercising and bodybuilding can greatly increase free radicals. Yea, i know, some people thinks that exercising is suppose to keep them fit and by getting fit, your systems work better, your body can fight those free radicals. But you see, any process that produces stress and increases the intake of oxygen leads to an increase of free radicals. Other factors that cause increase in free radicals are intake of high sugar and fat food, direct sunlight, pollution etc.

Especially we, women, skin is very important to us. We often look for the best food, supplement or products to improve our skin - keeping it radiant and youthful looking. And here is the solution to your problems.

Gorgeous just the way you are

Have you ever wish you have Selena Gomez's flawless complexion, Angelina Jolie's smexy lips, Megan Fox's hot body and so on? Yea, these celebrities sure look phenomenal on the red carpets; with their hair and makeup artist and a stylist at their back. Without their camera-ready paint jobs, how do you think all of them looks like? There are some celebrities who look great naturally, but there are also some who looks completely different with their makeup off.

 Look at Kimora. She looks great with her makeup on. But without makeup, she is just plain Kimora.

 Avril always look so pretty. Especially her eyes. Look at how different she is without her heavy eye makeup.

 Halle Berry

 Hilary Duff

 Katie Holmes

Penelope Cruz.

See the difference? All their flaws are covered by thick heavy makeups. Truth is, they look just like any other normal people. They have pimples, dark circles under their eyes, freckles, etc. Makeup does the magic. Don't you think natural beauty is the best? Aren't you tired of being what the society wants you to be? 

Even the most gorgeous women in the world aren't always gorgeous. Wipe off that thick foundation and mascara. Just be you. Remember, you are gorgeous just the way you are. 

Now, that  is a mental makeover.

Gifted (:


I admire those talented musicians. As a lil girl, I've always wanted to be a pianist. (: (Due to some reasons I did not learn) I may not be a professional musician or anything, but i do know what is a good play.

Check this guy out. - Lucas Teoh

He's a very talented pianist. He does not need a score to play a music although he has only heard of the song once. He compose songs, and he recompose songs. (:

You can check out his videos in youtube. Just type "lukettw" and you'll find his videos there. For now, there aren't many videos posted up yet. Soon, there'll be more. Just stay tuned. And guys, show ur support alright? I can guarantee you he's good.


Here is one of his video (: Enjoy!

Fairytale doesn't exist in real life.


You’ve seen Disney movies. Life is a fairytale. Cinderella found her prince. Sleeping beauty found her prince. Snow white found her prince. So did mermaid. In most of the Disney movies, the female lead always finds her prince charming. There’s always a happy ending. But do you think life is like a fairytale?

We often seek for our typical prince charming; handsome, tall, hot body, rich, smart, romantic etc.  How many such guys can u find in this world? You may find one like this but the guy may not love you that much or he might not be treating you right.

Girls are said to be mature at an early age compare to guys. Thus, girls are always advised to find guys which are few years older. A FEW YEARS. I’ve heard of many advices from people. They say that it is best to find a guy which is about 5 years older than you. This is because the guy will be more mature than you.  He knows how to treat you right. He’ll be a more responsible person.

Well, I personally don’t think it’s true. Perhaps majority of the guys which are older than you few years are more mature. But NOT ALL. There are still a minority of guys who are mature at a young age. Of course, it is VERY VERY hard to find.

Find a partner who is responsible, respects you. Girls should never give in everything to their boyf. When I say everything, you know what I mean (: Sex. It does not prove ur level of love towards ur partner. Or even if it is just stripping. It is certainly not right. If the guy forces you, that clearly shows he does not respect you and he is still immature. A person who knows how to think will not do such thing. It is ridiculous when the guy says he can’t control.

How many of you girls ever felt like you’re his mother more than his girlfriend? Your boyfriend is so dependent on you that every hour, every minute, every second, you can’t stop worrying about him because he simply don’t know how to handle himself. Oh wait, this is worse than a mother.

Remember, find a MAN. NOT a guy.

Hey, I’m not bias alright. I’m not saying that all guys in this world are horrible creatures. I am only saying those kind of guys mentioned above. And guys, same thing to you. Don’t be too clingy or too dependent on ur partner. Your partner will feel suffocated. You’re only driving him/her crazy!

You can't expect your partner to please you all the time. Don't act like you're a REAL PRINCESS. Your partner may tolerate you but think, how long can he tolerate you? You've gotta give and take. Don't be so demanding. And know your partner's capability. Don't take him/her as you ATM machine or your maid. Plus, don't act as if ur partner is ur mind reader that he/she knows what you expects. If you don't say it out, who on earth knows what you want or what you're thinking. It takes two person's effort to work a relationship out. Respect each other.

I'm not a love expert. I learnt from experience and am still learning.

Fairytale does not happen in real life. It only happens in storybooks and movies.

Time


Time flies. It only moves forward. It doesn't reverse. And never will. Manage your time properly. Never ever do things at the very last minute. You'll end up panicking and mess up things.

 Many people tend to leave things hanging until the dateline is near. You'll be saying 'i'll do it tomorrow' and the next day you'll be saying the same thing. Tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow. You'll keep repeating this word until you realise that the dateline is just the next day. This is when u start to panic and then u'll start to feel tension, stress, pressure, headache, yadaa yadaa yadaa. Right, u brought all these to yourself.

I have to admit, Facebook is killing people. They spend all their time on facebook; playing games, stalking people, updating unnecessary things. You see, these people don't know what is their priority. Which is more important. It's alright to spend a few minutes to check your notifications or messages. Alright, what about an hour. No offence to those super-active-facebooker, but i don't see the point of letting the whole world knows what's going on in ur life.

Example, you vomited 3 times today. And the next thing, u update it on ur facebook status. Is that necessary? Or are u just desperate for some attention.

I've seen friends like that. And i'm not gonna deny that i was once like that too.

Put what is more important at the top of ur list. Complete everything before it reaches the dateline. You can have some time away to relax but do remember that u have tasks to complete. Do not sacrifice ur sleeping time to play games or watch movie etc.

Sleeping is very very important. We need at least 6 hours of sleep. The best time is between 11pm to 3am. This is when our body goes through detoxification. Damaged cells are renewed.

So, yea, manage ur time. You can unwind ur clock or watch but u can never change the fact that time is flying.

Study Season

 Ugh, have been studying like crazy these days. Sem2 exam just over but i still have about 4 weeks till i get freedom. finals is in 2 weeks time. yikes!

 study partners. plus camy. we've been studying every night till 11. working our ass off like crazy. I'm super thankful to have friends who are so helpful. And who WANTS TO STUDY. It's very annoying when u're trying to study but ur friend(s) doesn't want to. Ur study group plan turns into a gossip group. End up, u'll study nothing except studying other people's life. pffttt. Well, i'm not saying that we study alllllll time. We do joke around, slack off awhile, but we know where is the limit. 

What do you gain from gossiping? 
NOTHING.

But you gain useful knowledge by studying.

So, ask yourself, which is more important. (:

-No Title-

Hello people!
I know, I keep MIA-ing
Have been very busy with exams and assignments. 
Will be more active after my finals. pinky promise.

Hillsong - This Is How We Overcome

Your light broke through my night
Restored exceeding joy
Your grace fell like the rain
And made this desert live

Chorus:
You have turned my mourning into dancing
You have turned my sorrow into joy
This is how we overcome
This is how we overcome
This is how we overcome
This is how we overcome
Your hand lifted me up
I stand on higher ground
Your praise rose in my heart
And made this valley sing

When College Life Ends.

7 months past in  a blink of an eye. This is how long we've together. Hard times, easy times, we've gone through all of them. Most important is, we managed to survive through all those challenges. 2012 will be a new year for all of us. We'll be going to different directions. Will we still remain friends? Or it will slowly vanish, silently. 
Time will tell. 

MPW Presentation. Just For Fun.

MPW is the MOST boring subject. It is actually History (secondary) but they call it MPW in college. Mata Pelajaran Wajib. The name says it all. WAJIB. Like it or not, you still need to learn it. You have tests, quizzes, final exam and presentation. So yes, we have to do presentation in front of everyone (with A Level students). 

BTW, i'm not a public-speaking kind of person. I get nervous very fast. Especially in front of Sooooo many unknown people. I know i know, it's only a presentation, but we were fussing about what to wear and stuff. Hey, not only we girls alright. Guys too! Oh wait. GUY. (: 

I guess we were the only group who dressed differently. Some people kept looking at us and some were talking/whispering, saying that we're very 'khua zhang' which also means overdressed. LOL. 

Li Ning took some shots for me. Its not a photoshoot, but just for fun (:
*Don't puke. 




 This is a candid.




 
With Mei Xin.
