This is the place where you can relax yourself while digesting all you would want to know about love, life and relationship. On and off I would also be touching on health and photography.

I’m going camping for sure but not by the beach or by the mountain anywhere within my home country but in Miami in the southeastern state of Florida. You would be asking what the heck I’m doing in Miami where it’s the seventh largest metro area in the United States. Am I really going to camp by setting up my tent in such a large city? Well, Miami is the only major city in the United States bordered by two national parks, Everglades National Park on the west and Biscayne National Park on the east. Surrounding these two parks are tens of great camping sites, of which some might be privately owned.
Even with the easily available parks, you would still expect me to really set up my tent and camp overnight? Of course I’m not going to miss out my vacation by doing that. It would surely be a more relax and luxurious camping style by mode of my rented recreational vehicle. At least I have the least of worries on gathering dry fire woods for my cooking and also where to ease myself during nature’s call. Moreover, I still have a comfortable and clean bed to sleep on without worrying about the invasion of bugs.
Gosh! I’m really spoilt! Gone were the days of my childhood camping where I have to work hard to ensure a pleasant camping days. Now with rv camping, everything has been so easy. Technology and modernization sure changed our lifestyle a lot.
How often did you hear someone telling you not to skip breakfast as it is the most important meal of the day? You might be wondering what the heck it has to do with you as you could save up a certain sum of money by skipping the meal. You are truly wrong about this misperception as breakfast is surely the most important meal of the day not because of anything else but for your health reason. Can you imagine yourself trying to start your car on an empty fuel tank? How would you expect the car to move without any fuel? The same principle applies to your body. It would not have the necessary energy to sustain your concentration and stamina for the rest of the day.
You might not realize the side effect of skipping breakfast which is going to make your body functions quite chaotic. You tend to eat more frequent and most of the time it would be food that would not contain the necessary nutrients to stay healthy. There are no fixed rules that breakfast must consist of cereal and bread. It could well be fruits or any leftovers. As long as you get your stomach filled prior to going out in the morning, you would be way safe with your “car engine”. You won’t get breakdowns or inconsistent filling up throughout the day. Thus, you would be more attentive and alert towards you daily duties.
Most of the time, I would have bread for breakfast but it’s getting really unhealthy with all those hidden ingredients. Can you imagine the long term consumption of those preservative filled fruit jams or even peanut butter? I would need something fresh, something that I could grow easily and have access to them conveniently. I was thinking of the hardy Blackberry plants which would easily grow on any type of soil. Won’t it be nice have fresh blackberries with cereals, fresh blackberry jams or even blackberry pies for breakfast? I’m anxiously waiting to purchase those yummy fruit plants now.

How could they do that when I’m on a strict diet on the doctor’s advice? I know I should avoid overeating all the time but what would you do if you have a household full of members who would always hold big eat outs especially during your mother’s birthday? A few days’ ago was the evidence of that big feast. I have had all the drooling Japanese, Korean, Cantonese and Shanghainese cuisines laid very invitingly right in front of my two popping out eyes.
What had I done then? To skip every single dish that was laid there would be a waste of good food and to take every dish in a large amount would surely kill my diet program. In the end, I opted for some appetite suppressants to stop myself from savoring everything on the table. Gosh! It did help me control my food intake. By the time I tried to gobble down more food, I was already feeling so filled up.
Thanks to TestoRipped, a formula that helped me to control my crazy appetite at odd hours of the day and at the same time help me to burn more fat while increasing my lean muscle mass. I guessed I would have to order more bottles for my coming business trip soon. You see, I will never stop eating too whenever I’m in a foreign country. LOL!
I came across this YouTube video and had a great laugh over what the son did when there are good sales online weekly. You know how? He charged to the credit card of his father. LOL! Isn’t that what most children would do when there are great bargains that one could not go without? I also would purchase the Xbox if only I could charge that to my Dad’s credit card. Haha!
I’m also a regular stalker in the online sales website and to date I had purchased many items and most of them came with free delivery. That’s a great bargain on top of the many tens and hundreds I had saved compared to purchasing from any of the local stores. If I were you, I would pop in the many sections in the website such as Apparel & Shoes, Bags & Luggage, Books, Buy for Business, Cameras, Cell Phones, Computer & Office, DVDs, Electronics, Fragrance, Games, Home & Outdoor, Jewelry & Watches, Music, Networking, Software, Sports and Toys & Baby to check out what’s the best deal around town. It’s sure a site filled with great sale all year through.
Do you know what would be my next target? I’m going to get that HTC Touch Diamond soon. It’s slim and can be fitted into my palm with no problems at all. Moreover, I can connect easily through the built in WIFI system as well as to shoot great photos. At least I can check my emails easily now anytime and anywhere.
If you have read the latest report on obesity right within US itself, you would get a scare out of your life. Can you imagine that 58 millions of Americans are overweight with 40 million of them being obese and 3 millions are morbidly obese? Since 1990, there has been a 76% increase of Type II diabetes cases, mostly in adults within the range of 30-40 years old.
To avoid those obese related diseases such as Type II diabetes, cardio vascular diseases, breast cancer, colon cancer, gall bladder or even high blood pressure, one should take note of the body weight not only on yourself but also on your children’s as new study had found that one in four overweight children has shown early signs of diabetes impaired glucose intolerance which is related to Type II diabetes. Most of them stood a high risk of getting heart related diseases. Within the last two decades, the numbers of overweight and obese children worldwide had increased four fold and it would climb dramatically by 2010. If you are a pair of loving parents with high hope for your children’s future clean health, do give them balance diets during each meal.
Through my years of observing families with obese children, it’s almost always the case of leadership by example. If you are not concern about your own weight issues, you would not even heed the future health of your children. Some families even thought that having fat, chubby, overweight children would show their status of prosperity. What a wrong perception. Those children stood a high risk of being stunned by critical diseases in the later stage of their lives!
There are many diet programs out there to help you to maintain a healthier lifestyle. Some may even use diet pill for a swifter effect. It all lies on your effort and determination to step forward now for a healthier living.
