I was down with fever for 10 days just a few weeks ago and I lost 15lbs. I was happy with the lost but this is not what I should be doing. I should not be torturing the weak body to sustain more injuries in the future. A healthy body would not get sick so easily. To rectify the problem, I started taking in more nutrients and healthy diets. The longer I went into the non-meat diet, the more I longed for those fatty steaks and burgers.
Within a few days of forcing myself into those supplements which I considered tasteless now, I went into food blogging and ended up eating more lavish and fat content food. I gained more pounds than I ever expected. After every meal, I will laze about not doing anything and the body just bloated up like nobody’s business. Each time I tried to motivate myself to get out of the house to have some exercise, I would just stumble back onto my chair thinking of where to go next for more delicious food.
I thought this is life but I got the perception all wrongly planned. I got weaker and lazier as the time went by. Seeing this situation and how bad a shape I was in, my friend dragged me to the gym for a few days. Initially, it was fun but subsequently after the muscle cramp from each session, I gave up. I also hated the trouble of dressing up in nice sportswear and drive all the way to the gym under such hot humid weather.
Finally, I thought of another way to get those fat burned off in the comfort of my home. I bought myself one of those viewpoint treadmills that combined entertainment and at the same time make me exercise for a fitter body. Not only did I get to monitor my workout progress through the 7” built-in flat screen but at the same time I get to do what I love most – watching my favorite movies through iPod with Theater Quality Sound System. Now this is what I call life and I have never regretted getting such wonderful exercising equipment. If I can do it with ease, why can’t you?

It is hardly surprising that the bathrooms of today do not resemble those of yesteryears. Trendy, modern and custom-designed accessories have replaced the once dull, unattractive and lack of sophistication fixtures of the olden times. Elegance and creativity gladly prevail in the bathroom décor of most homes today.
Even a simple bathroom can be just as appealing as its more extravagant counterparts. The best part is that there is no fix set of rules or look to abide. Simplicity also means flexibility and more forgiving towards the wallet. The center theme of a simple bathroom revolves around optimal level of comfort and a tasteful mix and match look. The look can be from carefree, smart casual, all the way to eclectic.
By applying creative coloring scheme, unique tilework, a different combination of accessories such as patterned shower curtains, potted plants, pedestal sinks, tropical look mirrors, wall posters or even some stuffed toys and personal memorabilias will make the whole atmosphere personal and cozier. There is no limit at all on how creative you can be in making that most inner sanctum of your house a relax place to be.

I
had just been informed that I would be joining a few of my former schoolmates a couple hundred of miles away for a gathering at the end of next month. This has come as a thrill to me as I have not been meeting up with any of them for ages since everyone has been busy with their own lives. What made me more excited is that we will be putting up in one of my schoolmate’s castle-like bungalow. I have been there once and the whole place truly amazed me with his tasteful choice of interior as well as the exterior decorations. This former schoolmate of mine sure knows how to make his house fit to be lived by a king. After all, that is his expertise for being one of the top interior designers in the country.
Although the built-up area of the bungalow is not as big as I had exaggerated, he managed to utilize the available spaces and turned each and every corner of his house into style and beauty. In fact, he made his whole garden into such a clean and environmental friendly area that you can practically make it into your outdoor room. As you walk into the terracotta tiled pathway into the house, you can see a mini lily pond with a roman statue pouring a jug of water into it, a rattan swing with awnings, tasteful patio furniture designs, and some neatly arranged potted plants. The whole garden has been transformed into a sanctuary without any dull and tired corners. There is even a mini BBQ area with beautiful pastel shade deck chairs to laze about.
With the nice and ingenious way in creating such an appealing and functional garden, I do not think I will need to elaborate further on how beautiful the interior of his house is. The whole house is filled with ceramics and antiques which he had gathered during his trips throughout the world. I just could not wait for the gathering and I am sure I will be the first to be in his Jacuzzi bath for hours.

Do I ready need to have at least one reading magnifier in my possession? That is the question I have always asked myself. The answer is yes. It is not that I have poor eyesight or am getting too old to see things clearer. The reason is that nowadays a lot of the labels especially the prescription labels are with such small prints that it strained the eyes just to be able to read them.
On top of that, some of the clauses in an agreement are typed so small that it would be risky if you did not read and understand them well prior to signing up. There are many type of reading magnifiers around the market place, ranging from lighted table top magnifiers, hand held magnifiers, pocket magnifiers, to LED illuminated magnifiers for you to choose. Get one today as you might not know when you really need it urgently.
