chitchat

the book I read now is The Twilight Saga the books mostly tell about friendship, romance, sacrifice, adventure .. want to tell much more but don't know what to say.. lack of words

can't guess the story in this book, well not really.. Yes you can guess but still there is something that you don’t know and you will know only if you read it. Maybe you can guess the end of the story but you still have many question in your mind (well actually my mind :D), it's so great the story, the emotion, the plot I just love it.

you know what.. few days ago a saw a video clip and it was so cool the music, the band, the lyric, the setting, they take a location in an ice mountain (seems like) the lyrics was so in to The Twilight, and then I think maybe it is the soundtracks of the movie but it isn’t so sad :( (just info the band is 30Seconds to Mars - A Beautiful Lie)

realize why the author (Stephanie Meyer, provided the link) always wrote about the Muse in The Twilight Saga, the lyrics was so inspiring well maybe it influenced to the novel, one word.. COOL ..

im sorry if there are many mistakes in my writing, u can correct me by sending a comment many thanks ..

if you're like many people, the start of the day isn't your favorite time, so here are some tips you can sneak into your routine without much effort. Try at least one of these tomorrow ...

1. Stretch every extremity for 15 seconds
Try this before you open your eyes. lift your arm and begin by stretching each finger, than your hand, than your wrist, and your arm. Repeat with the other arm. Than your toes, feet, ankles, and legs. End with a neck and a back stretch that propels you out of bed. you've just limbered up your muscles and joints, and enhanced the flow of blood through your body, providing an extra shoot of oxygen to all your tissues.

2. Brush your tongue for one minute
There's no better way to rid your self of morning breath and begin the day minty fresh. Hundreds of bacteria take up residence in your mouth every night, so just brushing your teeth alone isn't going to vanguish them all.

3. Drink a glass of water
Remember, you've been fasting for all night long, so you wake each morning dehydrated.

4. Check your morning calender
Have a large calender or a whiteboard in a prominent position in the kitchen. on it, write everything you need to know for the day. check it each morning as you sip your coffee - it will help you avoid the stress of forgeting something important.

5. Kiss all the people you love
in your house (including the dog and cat) before you leave. Connecting with the ones you love soothes stress and gives a positive start to your day. @ http://www.readersdigest.com.sg

Do you have any experience with Jet Lag? Do know what causes it?
Jet Lag causes by the difference in time that occurs when we cross the time zones. we all have the internal clock that determines when we should sleep, wake up, eat, or perform other bodily functions during the twenty-four-hour periode. so most travelers are not able to adjust to shorter or longer day.

Jet Lag worse after a flight east than it is after a flight west, because most peolpe can adjust a little better to a longer day than they can to a shorter day. it's also true that people over thirty who tend to have a more established routine are likely suffer the most from jet lag.

How can we deal with Jet Lag?
The most intersting research on how to minimize the effects of jet lag are those are those that show the value of shceduling an early evening arrival. Can you imagine why that might be helpfull? it is because we probably just go to bed. this is also some evidence that light plays a role in accommodating a new sleep cycle.
in addition, it seems that a full stomatch increase the symthoms of restlessness and fatigue. in fact eating a samll meal on the plane should help as long as you don't find the nearest restaurant when you land.
finally, alchohol tends to dehyrate the body, which appers make the jet lag worse. so that is why it is better to drink a lots of water and avoid drinking alcohol on the plane.

how long it take to adjust to a new time zone?
we required a half a day for each time zone crossed, so if you can't include a stopover on a long flight, it is better not to schedule an important meeting for the day you arrival.

Have a nice breakfast Hope you'll have a great day ..

The time you spend at the office may be the most stressful part of your day, but it doesn't have to be. You have a greater ability to shape your office environment than you may realize.

• Take breaks throughout the day. It will help clear your mind and relieve pressure. Something as simple as going to the water cooler for a drink may do the trick.
• Enroll in a noontime or an after-work exercise class. This will give you a chance to unwind and a way to relieve stress.
• To help your workday go smoothly, try pacing your activities: Do more demanding work in the morning, when your energy level is higher, and easier work later in the day, when you may be tired.
• Try listening to music recordings, such as a pounding surf or songbirds, to help you relax. Such tapes are sold commercially. Use headphones if you'll be listening to them in the middle of the of the workday
• Get to work early or stay late once a week. You may be able to accomplish more when you vary your routine.
