Watch your body's acidic level

The doctor told me there is too much acidic content in my body. Too much acid in my blood.

I had been having a tired feeling always, the fainting feeling and wanting to collapse. It had been difficult to go to work these days. That's why I didn't update my blog for so long a time. I had prepared many materials, even a short outdoor trip that I had done alone to some lonely place, when I was healthier, 2 years ago. But I don't have the energy to format them and publish them.

But nevertheless I forced myself to go for a jog just now, at 10pm. It was a good jog. A short one, but a fast pace one. Good to feel sweat coming out like water after a shower. It feels good to sweat. And I feel energised again. Perhaps I should exercise (especially high sweat exercise like jogging) regularly, irregardless of the time I came home from work every night.

I used to jog even at night. Back then when my body is not plagued by so many problems, I literally jogged quite often, even when I came home late at night. I guess the years of working had spoiled my life's eco-system. It feels really funny to not worked till 9pm every night. As my previous 2 jobs demanded so much from my lifetime. I can leave at 6pm for my current job, and it feels funny.


I found this website. According to its message, it states that the soft drink we drink contains way too much sugar content and causes our acidic level to shoots up. The body goes into overdrive to balance the acidic content by alkaling the system in quick time. It uses calcium from the bones and teeth for the alkaline.

That's why I will not drink soft drink anymore. I used to drink soft drink like water. It had almost became my staple drink. But the effects can be really deteriorating.

We are often worried about high cholestrol levels, high blood pressure, diabetics, etc. But these are modern day problems (I called them that, I'll explain later.) and most are actually cause by 1) High sugar content in body, 2) an inbalance of alkaline and acidic in the blood stream, and 3) High fat level in body.

Most often we failed to take or take note of 2). 2) is actually a main course of most problems, or the root cause of most problems.

Now why do I state that the problems most of us are plagued with are, for most cases, modern day problems? Your body, normally doesn't get alkaline or more commonly, acidic easily. It is perfectly good at balancing itself. For most cases, it gets acidic due to a huge inflow of acidic food that we consume, and that it fails to balance the pH content back.

Therefore, we have to take care of what we eat. Really should take care and not let the body pH system go haywire.

New Home

Got a new place. New place to call home. :)



Corridor shots. Look there is a cat taking up temporary residence along the corridor.



Exterior shots.

Nice apartment. Centrally located. A new place of my own that I can finally call home. :)

I'll like to name it, as like those castle of ancient times, whereby every home, palace, castle, has a name.

Got a friend's house call Agape House, another call Ai Wo (Love Nest).
Important historial monument all got names, Zhuang Jia, Versaille, Gu Gong, Himeiji, Wembley, Giza, Castillo, Istana, Zhongnanhai, kremlin, white house, ...
Of course will name it with an original name.

Hmmm... any suggestions?

Triops!!! Instant Pets! More Steady than Neopets!



I bought a pack of Triops!!!

Found them! I found it at the shop inside Little India MRT station!
You can't find them anywhere now! Steady Pom Pi Pi!
I didn't found it today. I found it on Sat! Forgot to mention it! They even sell something call sea monkey!

My ex-ex-colleague once bought a pack! He came into the "office" and told everybody just add water and the Triops will hatch! Most of us don't even know what the heck are Triops! I can't imagine there are these creatures still living in the world!
Basically they look like the aliens in the movie The Aliens. The first stage that is. After they came out the their silly looking eggs.

Everybody (except for the program manager) was so happy after that! Looking after the Triops in that little plastic tin and feeding it, and at the same time writing C++ codes and smoking the customers, with the program manager smoking with them.

This record was only broken when another fellow engineer smuggle a kitten to the "office". He also have a liking of the little black and white snake living in the drain in front of the "office". Luckily he failed to catch it.


And the most amazing thing is that these Triops are packed in their eggs, in the pack, and sold as instant pets! Who will have heard of instant pets! They can stay inside their eggs in "suspended animation" state and will only be activated once there is water! Wow! Can call constructor one. If human are like that, what would happen? Then everybody's birthday will probably be on Christmas day, New Year's day, the rice dumpling day, their father and mother's or ah gong and ah ma's Wedding aniversary, etc... etc...
Cause everybody will want a birthday on a holiday. The whole world celebrate for you.

But the pack says must use distill water... must remember to use distill water. The chorine from the tap water will kill it.
I better write in down on the packet in case I forget. Forgetful these days...

Night Heart

The Evening Sun

Late night again. It didn't rain tonight. I can't see the stars. The clouds are quite strong tonight. Many layers, I guess. There's silence and silence. Little wonder how peaceful the night is. Living so far away from the city, with my apratment facing a heavily wooded hill. It gets real cool at night, and misty at times.

Night is the time whereby all creative comes. Night is where all the thoughts come and how to deal with this situataion or that meeting tommorrow. I seems to be able to pen and draw "real" stuff, or come out with new concepts and idea from the period of "towards nightfall" till the still of the night.
Not to mention to do my work at night seems to be far more easier than daytime, as my work requires a lot of "creativity" to get around problems. (writing software)

Quote a quote from Peanuts comic strip :
"Don't worry about the world coming to an end tommorrow, it is already tommorrow in Australia." (Although in Asia, the most eastern point in Australia is only a few hours away.)

Bugging you.

Raindrops

In the silent second hour, on the 15th sun, of the 5th moon. I decide to start my own weblog.

There was a heavy rain a few moments ago. The rain had stopped, the ground is renewed. From my window, the dark black roads, and green grasses are still wet with the water from the clouds.
Such a peaceful sight, in the silence of the night. Such is the little wonders and miracles that we see, or forget to see, in the passing time around us.

Sometimes it is good to leave a voice in the world. Be it a little voice in the torrent current of the mighty river called world, or a pulse of warm yellow light on the doorstep of my house.

Finish your outdoor work and get your fields ready; after that, build your house.
Proverbs 24:27
