WHAT'S STOPPING YOU EXERCISING?

Some sexy bods for the motivational purposes

Well, we know exercise is good for us, from firming muscle tone to boosting mental health., so we should want to do it, right? Yes, well, it would also be logical if we never went to bed wearing the makeup and stopped popping 2 packs of cigarette. How's that working out for you? Interesting isn't it? Everyone who ever avoids exercises has a reason for doing so. Stands to reason that if you could work your way around the excuse, you and exercise could skip off into the sunset together; you, too, could be one of those people who says they genuinely love it, apparently, they are really not lying.

So, what's the missing ingredient???

This is you if  you had a mindset going to the gym brings you out in a sweat, and not in a good way. It's boring, painful and embarrassing.

Being scared is not an excuse. Throwing yourself off a crane with a bungee cord around your ankle is scary. Coming face to face with an angry bear is scary. Doing a half an hour workout isn't scary. If you want a good looking body, you will need to work out for it. And yes, it require major changes in your life. You will never ever regret doing it. The reluctant lasts a short time, the benefits lasts forever.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO..... Find yourself a fitness buddy!!!

This is you if you feel you work so hard, carving out an hour or whatever to put your body through exercise is just not fair.

When people say they dont have time to work out, i say, 'Crap, i bet you found the time to watch your favorite TV drama or read a magazine.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO.....Even if you can't do much, do something!

Set priorities, if you want to exercise, you can, it's just about making the time. Waking up an hour early for a brisk walk or so on.

This is you if you work out, but where are the results?

 It makes me laugh, occasionally cry, when i see people at the park/gym working out on static bikes for 30 minutes with a book on their hands. They probably burned about the same amount of calories but the point is that simply doing it is not enough. You are probably not working hard enough.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO.....Make it tough enough. 

Also, look at other factors such as your diets, stress level, sleeping patterns and other factors. These few area might be holding you back, so make sure you address all of these too - and don't give up! 

This is you if you really really want to be the kind of person who works out, but after few weeks it falls apart and. oh, what's the point?

 If you miss a training session , or have a diet slip-up, don't go on guilt trip and throw in the towel. Recognize how far you have come, never let the glitches throw you off the prize.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO.....Pace yourself. You should feel excited because you are doing something good that will have results. Remember your goals! It's harder to exercise than to stick with it once you've got into the rhythm of it.

Have a good day exercising, Cheers!

Find Your New SEXY

Ladies and gentlemen, do you still remember what's the charming part of your partner in the first place? When you have been together for awhile, it's so easy to become familiar with your partner that you forget what you find sexy about them. Today I'm gonna bring you to the flash back and do some side kick on your lovey dovey life. 
 

1 . DON'T TAKE YOURSELF TO SERIOUS  - It's a turn-off being with someone who is uptight all the time. It takes confidence to poke fun at oneself and confidence is definitely sexy.

2. WRITE A SEXY NOTE  -  Every few weeks pick one or two things your partner did or say that you find it sexy, and tell him/her in a short love note. When you do this often,  you will feel constantly turned on by your partner and he/her will feel even sexier.

3. DRESS UP OCCASIONALLY  - Don't underestimate this advise! Making an effort to look good for your partner will make both of you feel special. If it makes you feel hot, your partner will see you ini the same light, trust me. (^_^)

4. DEEP KISS EVERYDAY  - It strengthen your bonds and leaves you on a sexy high. A passionate smooch can heat things up, and not necessarily in sexual way. You are sharing a special moment with the person you love so much.

5. BE THANKFUL FOR THE "SMALL STUFF"  - This will remind you of the little things about your partner that you might have over looked. If your partner makes an effort to cook once in awhile when you know it's not his/her thing, appreciate the gesture.

6. DO INTIMATE THINGS TOGETHER  - They don't have to be sex-related. Pick activities that put you both in touch with your sensuality and bring out your affectionate, something like cuddling on the couch, taking bath together - anything that makes you feel close.

 

MY FREAKING HANDS

Effing shit man... My hand is officially chapping again damn it!!! It soo dry and damaged that it splits open on the bending area. Oh my Effing god... that is so effing hurts.

Merry Merry Christmas there People. If you are reading this now meaning you are actually having a slow day and you are kind of browsing the net for some leisure and killing some time. But hey mambo, it's same to me here which is on my 25th Dec 2012. Hahahaha.... Well, i get a day off from the company, kind of laid back and chill out in front of my lappie.

I'm actually typing this now listening to some brutal dubstep song. Infront of me is the window, it's a nice cloudy day since morning. Not much sun, no wind, quiet day infront of me. Other than listening to my music, i can hear the bouncing sound of the basketball. It's definitely a good day to do whatever exercise.

I've just finish watching the Afro Samurai anime. It's a great samurai anime, but the whole scene just doesn't make any sense because samurai era have no such thing as cellphone and android.      (>A<)

  

 The bast part, there is this nigga who keeps spamming the black mamba language (voiced by Samuel, L. Jackson). It's really funny to hear him talking. A lot of Muthafucking swearing from him. I just love it. lolx

You can down it from HERE if you have not watch it.

I also just finish watching the J-drama called Hotaru no Hikari. It's a funny drama. i reckon you to view it. You can download it from HERE.

Just a to share with you fellas that what i have watch and i think it's decent thing to watch. About the  Afro Samurai, i'll just leave that on your imagination, ok! Cheers.

tired legs

Yo Yo Yo... Christmas is coming and the work is getting busy busier (pardon my vocab or what so ever). Argh... I just wanna complaint it over here... \(>o<)/  My legs are soo tired because I've been standing almost 10 hours a day. It sure looks good when the pay cheque arrives your hands by the end of the day but it's still too much. How wonderful is that to arrive home knowing there's someone be there to attend your tired and miserable soul. Hahahaha....

Oh well, i guess i can only GANBATTE till the Chinese New Year and take a long week for my break. Can't wait till that day. I'm going home and I am taking my Beloved mum out for some good food. Yay!!  

Christmas of Christmas

Yo there people,  I'm curious about this... Seriously, does every girl likes PINK color?? Well you know what, me being as a hairdresser I met numerous or maybe sees numerous people walking in and out from the salon. Observing their phone cover, headsets, earrings, shoes, bracelet and so on.... It's all in pink color. I was like
(=o=) #surprise# . . . . you know...

It's just me or what, pink seems to reminds me of Hello Kitty.... *Meow*~~~~

Oh well, what ever....

So so so.... Christmas is coming within this few days. I've not gotten any present for anyone yet as I'm always occupied with work all the time. I know i know, i might not be as busy as the lawyer or doctor but come on, it's hard being hairdresser too. Well, let's see.... I wonder what present will i get from the friends... Hahaha.... If you are reading this now and you've been thinking to get me some present, then this is a good chance for you.  XD

You see, i ride mrt to work everyday, and there is one thing that every single people inside the mrt will carry. Phone with headset. Ok OK... I am not saying that i want or need a new phone. It's more like i want a good mp3 player that provides decent quality and ofcourse not to miss the ear cupping headsets that cancel out the noisy from the outside. Hehehehe.... Sounds good right? Yea, I'm a music type of person that loves to flow with the music when it's grooving in my eardrums. What i'm currently using now is my Sony Ericsson Walkman series phone (yea i know, it's pretty lame as everyone is using iphone now).

SO, HEAR ME OUT MY "BESTIE FRIEND"..... You know what i want for my Christmas present.  Lolxxxx

Healthy Tips

 

 Many people especially GIRLS thinks that by eating healthy or maybe not eating contributes to weight lost. Often judging by the calories they consume per-day and forgetting some minor things that can actually benefiting them. Living is this century, people are too preoccupied with their long working hours and hasn't gotten much time for themselves. They are used to downloading dramas or movies to watch and always staying up late.(Which is bad) You probably have no idea that skimping on sleep can actually expand your waistline, right? Well, here's the good news, Researcher from Japan Dr.Daiki Kobayashi shows that night to night sleep consistency is crucial for weight control. Erratic pattern may interfere  with the appetite-regulating hormones such as leptin. To fight fat freely without much exercise, start establishing a regular bedtime and stick to it.

Watch out for the next rise and crash - and I'm not talking about the stock market volatility. Processed carbohydrates and refined sugars in your diet may cause your insulin level to spike, leaving you feel starved like a hunger for foods. Good news is that there is other nutritional  GEMS that can help to control your insulin sensitivity. That is STRAWBERRY. The real deal fruit and not the bread spread or juices. This fruit pack with high antioxidant plays a major role in taming the insulin.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Swap Orange Juice for Oranges

If you start your day with a glass Orange Juice, switch it to a whole orange instead. A glass of OJ can contain more than 200 calories, most of which are from sugar. By eating the fruit instead you get all the taste and refreshment, in addition to fibre, which slows the release of energy into your blood.


Swap Jam for Peanut butter

Switching your spread from jam to peanut butter will help lower your blood sugar response so you don't feel hungry again until lunch. Peanut butter is packed with slow release energy as well as good fats and protein, whereas jam is sugary fruit paste without the nutrients of the fresh fruit. 

 

Swap Margarine for Butter
Think butter is bad because it's high in saturated fats? Think again. Although higher in calories than margarine, butter provides essential nutrients including vitamin A, helps raise level of good cholesterol and allow your body to store fat-soluble vitamins. Margarine contains high fats, which increase level of bad cholesterol  and have been linked to heart disease and other health problem.

Here Are Some Handy Ingredients That You Should Look Out For If You Want To Get A More Radiant Complexion.

Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is a sugar molecules that's found naturally in our skin. It can hold up to 1000 times it's weight in water, making it a super  sponge that effectively increase your skin's moisture content. As we age, the amount of hyaluronic acid in our skin diminished, so make this ingredient your strong ally when it comes to your skincare regime. You probably heard of certain brand that emphasize about hyaluronic acid on their products. =)
 
  
Glycerin
Skin looses it's luminosity because of dryness. Lack of moisture leads to build up of dead skin cells which creates a barrier that blocks the natural skin brightening effect on the blood vessel. Glycerin  is an active ingredient that draws water up to the skin surface and slows down the lost of moisture while leaving it supple and brighter skin.




Salicylic Acid
Cell turnover rate slows down and dead skin cells pile up unevenly on our face, leading to a dull and patchy complexion. Salicylic acid  removes  excess sebum and dead skin cells. Plus, this ingredient is commonly used on acne-care, it loosen the skin cells within each pores, effectively preventing formation of clogged pores.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Green tea oh green tea. Everyone generally knows the basic benefit of it but they didn't know that green tea helps fight cavities, bad breath and oral cancer and lowering the risk of getting type-2 diabetes. This is due to the polyphenols found in the drink. Drink up to 240ml cups of the brewed stuff a day to reap up the maximum perks. You didn't know about this until you read this, right? (^_^)

 

TOMATOES : NATURAL ANTIOXIDANTS
They are rich in vitamin C and lycopene. The former has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, while the latter also is also and antioxidant that boost skin healing and collagen production. the combination of lycopene and vitamin C is great for repairing and rebuilding skin.


FISH : SKIN'S BUILDING BLOCKS
Fish is one of the richest source of lean protein, which helps to replenish the body's natural building blocks for regeneration. One good reason to get more fish in your diet : It is said to result in well-hydrated skin with increased elasticity and thickness - great for preventing sagging and wrinkles.

Your Last Moment

Hello there everyone. Today I'm gonna share with you the result of my Photoshop skill that i learnt online. I think it's pretty incredible. You may save your money from enrolling on illustration class. All you need is a click away from the net. Thanks to those who share their skill and experience, without them, I am as clueless as you. =)

Cheers to those great Sensei.

Basically i followed the instruction from these people and i created my own so called illustration( i know i'm just an amateur). I find it good because it gives you the dreamy feel and the teary sensation.
 

                                              I start from this picture as my base.

 

                 Then i added this photo (snapped by friend Soloman Freeman )

        After spending some time tweaking the light, adding layers, flares,                particles,vignetting. 

This is the final result.

Thank you for taking a look. Hehehe...  (^_^)v

Fucked up whole colleague.

Seriously, why does people love to pass judgement on me based on my face? Why? I was born with this kind of look. It's not that i want it. You may say that if i try to smile abit more it will makes things different but that ain't me. People have the sense to smile when they want, they dont go smile around just to get through the day. When I've got no mood to smile, that means there will be no smile. It doesn't mean i'm moody or I've just step on some dog shit and that's it for my day. You may the one who can smile all day but i may not be the one. But hey, seriously, when i dont smile, i do look so damn fierce. SO WHAT?! If you think you know me, that's just me when i'm not smiling. Why the hell you people must start giving some me shit like you're scares of me or even talk to me? I've got no knife on the back of my hand that ready to stab you when you pull my trigger. You must be thinking that this is fun and probably laughing right? Well you see, I AM WHO I AM. So if you think you people are happy passing judgement on me based on my look, then suits yourself. I am there just doing my job, getting my pay cheque. That's all. You can't expect from me too much.

Last but least, you people do upset me too sometimes. How? Let's make this simple, my secondary duty is to clean up those mirrors, chairs and side table. You can see that i clean those place neatly EVERYDAY WHEN I ARRIVE WORK. You just used that place to style your hair using the hair dryer, sitting down your pretty ass on the chair. When you are done, you just left! And i mean YOU JUST LEFT! The hair dryer was not on it's original place, the chair was not pushed back inside, mirror or products still laying beside the table. Imagine that this is what you left for me to tidy up EVERYDAY right after i clean that place up, how would I feel? Pretty much pissed off right? Hey, i am not bullshitting this. I have been given this duty, i do my best and these people just like a whirlwind come and mess it up. That ain't nice right? It has 6 month since then. This does not apply to an individual, this applies to almost everyone in the god damn floor.

Now you know why sometimes i'm not in the favor to smile when i see those shit you left for me again and again. I'm not the type that wish to remind you as you are OLD enough to acknowledge these common thing. 

The Big Deals About Sulfates

Why are sulfates the big bad wolf of haircare? They starts a cycle that make hair dry. The solution : break that cycle with products that are free from them.

 

 

The villain ingredient in cosmetics right now are sulfates. Most of us have heard(perhaps not everyone) that they should be avoided and that they are harmful. Few of us know, or what they do.

Also commonly found in household cleansers under the name sodium laureth sulfate, ammonium lauryl sulfate and ammonium laureth sulfates. Sulfates are the lathering agent that clean your hair and create foam and froth when you shampoo. Why are they getting the bad press? They literally strip hairs moisture and skins essential oil.

The worst part : most women ( i'm talking about the whole world population ) think that working up a great BIG lather when they shampoo will clean their hair more effectively. But what really is happens is the start of the vicious  cycle. Sulfates strip hair oil, causing it to become dehydrated and frizzy. You then slap on conditioner to try and reduce the frizz. The silicone-loaded conditioner coats your hair, weighs it down and makes it greasy, so you more shampoo and so it continues. . . . . . ( you get what i mean?) (>o<)/

Add to that exposure to the villain's sidekicks - UV-ray, over heat styling, stress, chemical treatments and excessively brushing - and you end up with a HALO unmanageable frizz. So, how do you restore your hair's former glory? Look for sulfates-free shampoo and silicone-free conditioner. I know there's people who wants to see the immediate result but none silicone base conditioner or treatments doesn't show it infront of our naked eyes, in fact you wont even feel the immediate result. These products restructuring your hair from the inside which you only can see it under 200x zoom lens. 

Still, if you insist of feeling the result from the outside of the hair, opt for leave in treatments that gives you few benefit such as heat protector, detangling and repairing. 

Always remember one this, GOOD THING AIN'T CHEAP, CHEAP THING AIN'T GOOD. You pay for the ingredients, not the packaging or the brand ( although this is all counted in the products itself ). A good products lasts you up to 12 weeks and above depending how often you use.  

Facial hair

Hello Hello there people. Lately i found out that mustache on men is soo smexy that you bet almost every girl on their late 20's onwards will be turned on. (>o<) . Seriously, i have never fond with mustache until recently after watching some Japanese drama actor with mustache. It's such an amazing sex appeal i should say. Here's the question, I was thinking of growing some because it's about the time around my age to have some ( hahaha, well i mean it). People who viewed my look from outside just couldn't tell what's my age, but that's just a number to me since growing old doesn't mean you have to look old, right?

Since young, i have never really shaved my face till today. So, basically, my facial hair seems pretty fine just  like the hair on my arm. That means in order to achieve a much fuller facial hair, i will have to start shaving. \(>O<)/  *shocked*

Here are some few look i was planning to achieve. Pretty smexy right? ^^

Tired work, tired legs

Ughwah..... I'm so tired... Recently the work has been getting quite tiring. Thanks to the company who does the G-coupon thingy. Well, it's not like i'm complaining. I had fun attending all those people who brought the g-coupon voucher. Getting to know some new people, exchanging some information, digging some money out from their wallet and hopefully they will come back looking for me again.  XDD  That's work for me. All i need after my working hour is a good dinner which is my regular Yong Tau Foo. Why Yong tau Foo? Because you get to choose what you want when it comes to the vegetable or the fried fish ball thingy. Next, i will head home with my food and turn on my laptop to watch my current drama. The GTO jdrama. (Great Teacher Onizuka)

You might want to check out this movie because it's a remake of the older version during 1999. This remake has much more impact compared to the old one. I like the expression of this guy who portrayed Onizuka. It does resemble the manga Onizuka Sensei.

turn back time

For some reason, when you woke up in the day the morning or having coffee in the afternoon, the wind always carries your mind to your old memory. It's not just about what you have done yesterday nor the day before yesterday. The day you both met, sharing laughter and eventually becoming a compromised King and Queen.   

Why,?

Why all the sudden these feeling starts to overflow?

Our lives just so happened to cross on. You and me know it well. They echoed each other even on transcend time. You can only place this feeling on the wind to carry it.

The words, the decision, the places we went, it's such tormenting to thinking about it. You wish you could turn back the time and re-do your past. Leaves no REGRET and TEARS behind.

There is no word I could express it with.

For as long as I could. . . . I held them back. . . .Keeping them from starting to overflow.

I want to protect you

I won't hesitate.

As long as we have even a fragment or feelings for each other, It doesn't matter if you are far away or if we're separated. . . .

I'll always be holding on to you.

 

Cartoon look alike effect

Esplanade via Marina shot

 March 13, Tuesday, It's my day off today. Like what i said on my earlier chapter, i have encountered CHEAP but troublesome mp3 player! I have to travel down to Sim Lim Square just to get my product exchanged for the third time! This is seriously pissing me off! It ain't working as well after i get it change today. !@#$%%^ 

Let's put that aside as I'm about to talk about today's topic instead of the damn mp3 player. 

19.00 hour onwards, sun is setting and the scenery area starts to build up.

 This is Esplanade.

Notice the look of the sky as it gets darker. I love the darker sky instead of brighter one, but I'll just share both instead of the one i think is nice. It's captured with hand's on without tripod. Lucky shot? Hahaha....

Some random shot of this Fullerton building that is blocked from anyone who tries to pass by. 

(I wonder why)

 

20.00 hour, Marina Bay Sands starts to premier their incredible light theater by the bay, and i was struck by their light as you can see from the picture~

The Final play! Lucky for me to get this shot.

Light starts to fade off....

 Well, it lasted for 10mins but i can only provide this few shot cause I wasn't sure with the camera adjustment earlier. Pardon me for that. hahaha....

On my way back and saw this SEXY looking Bmw laying on parking bay. WOW, now this is what i call it PARK LIKE A BOSS!
