How to release Stress? (7 simple ways)

2010-01-21T20:11:00.002+08:00

Breathe deeply: When you tense up, your breathing gets quicker, more shallow, and higher in the chest. You’ll feel better right away, and your heart will slow down, if you’ll just make your breathing more relaxed. Deeper. Slower. Sigh in a relaxed way.

Exercise: even if you go for a walk for 15-25 minutes four days a week it will help your body to get rid of adrenaline and produce endorphins (a natural tranquilizer). Not to mention you will not only feel better, you will also look the part.

Stretch: People often stretch before and after a workout. However, learning stretching and flexing exercises to use as a way to relieve tension on many different areas of the body can help a great deal.
Recommended Site for stretching :http://www.womensheart.org/content/Exercise/stretching_exercise.asp

Laugh it off: Rent a funny movie and laugh out loud. Go out with friends or host gatherings. Tell everyone to bring a platter. Remember the key is to release tension not, add to it. Use paper plates and plastic cups to reduce the amount of work.

Listen to music: This works fine for me, well, listen to the country, soft, slow songs, like I'm Yours by Jason Mraz (:. That will definitely release your stress

Nutrition: Eat a balanced variety of nutritious foods, drink eight, eight-ounce glasses of water, reduce fats and sugar and supplement with additional vitamins and minerals.

Take a break: Take time to relax, sleep, and maybe even take a vacation if you can. Your body does not only need it; you deserve it.

Relax to go a further way. Life is full of chances & miracles. Convert stress into the power to let you improve youself! (:

How to Grow Taller? (NATURALLY & FASTER)

2009-11-26T15:19:00.005+08:00

This is a picture of Yao Ming the tallest basketball player at a listed height of 7 feet, 6 inches (2.29 m). Isn't that insane? Well, this post will teach you guys how to grow taller NATURALLY!

I'm not calling you to be as tall as Yao Ming, but there's some good to be tall.

Why it's Good to be Tall?

Being tall makes you look very unique.It will makes you stand out and catch people attention.People like to see something different.When they see something unique and different it makes them want to look even more.

If you are tall you can easily reach anything you want.

And do you know that most people love long legs on women/men?

What else...being tall is great!

So How to grow taller, NATURALLY

Let's start with exercise!

» General Stretching Exercises. – These exercises have been proven to be the MOST efficient out of the whole work out as it works on stretching every join of your body adding flexibility and loosening them up to grow those extra inches.They are derived from Yoga so if you have had any classes in the past it you will understand why they help.

» Exercises For The Spine. – As said above, spinal exercises work more than any other single aimed exercise to a body part as they can be performed by anyone and tend to be the easiest only requiring simple things as hanging, swimming ect..

» Exercises For The Knee’s. – It some people these exercises are even more effective than spinal ones but remember to do both so you don’t look disproportionate with long legs and a small back.There is an exercise in here than can even help peoples who’s growth plates have already fused (over 24 yr olds), these exercise is called Micro Fracture & Ankle Weights technique.

Get enough rest too!

Any activity you decide to do to help you grow taller naturally will likely fail if you do not have enough rest. Sleep offers your body the chance to recuperate from the activities of the day.

95% of human growth occurs during sleep, since the largest human growth hormone surge in a normal day tends to occur around one hour after the onset of night-time sleep, it is vital for athletes to get plenty of it. If the quality of sleep is inadequate there will be a reduction in the volume of human growth hormone secreted, with negative consequences for health and fitness. Important preconditions for good quality sleep and optimal human growth hormone secretion during sleep include a dark room and a balanced diet containing adequate protein.

Of course, an adequate quantity of sleep is also required for good health generally, and for most people this means around eight hours.

Posture-Walking Straight

Tighten your stomach, raise your shoulders, and push your chest out. Breath, but keep your stomach tight. Lift up, and be as tall as you can be. Got it? Good. Now hold that for EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY. It will be hard at first, But you’ll feel and look better.

Your in essence MAKING yourself grow, and your stomach and back must adapt by getting stronger. Your upper body will appear bigger.

I’d say it will take you a week to get use to walking like a soldier but don’t underestimate this exercise just because it seems simple.

Diet

As far as diet is concerned you should avoid food with high carbohydrate content. Consuming food that is high in carbohydrate would induce hyperglycemia (elevated blood carbohydrate) which tends to switch off human growth hormone secretion.

Because during hyperglycemia, insulin, a polypeptide hormone, would be massively produced to regulates carbohydrate metabolism. As insulin and IGF-1 counterbalances one another, IGF-1 production gets driven into the basement for about 2 hours.

On the same token, avoid snacking or having an soda pop in between meals, as the digestion of your meal is over the insulin level goes back to normal you would like to prolong the time of IGF-1 production as long as possible. Do not suppress it with another dose of carbohydrate to drive insulin up again. Food with high fat content has also been found to reduce human growth hormone secretion.

Conclusion
Growing tall isn't that easy, you will need 100% of time and also patient. If you have both, guaranteed you will see the improvement. :)

How to draw a simple cartoon by only using Microsoft PowerPoint!

2009-11-19T08:30:00.006+08:00

This post is original by Awesome Tutorial, please DO NOT copy this post without permission!

Hello people, in this post I'll teach you how to draw a cartoon BY just using Microsoft PowerPoint!!! Because I don't really know how use the Graphic Editor to create cartoons, so I've try PowerPoint, and the creations are awesome too~
This is what we gonna do:

A simple christmas tree cartoon

Things That You Need:
-Microsoft PowerPoint (2003 version is recommended, 2007 is still okay :)
-A Mouse

Step1

Open your PowerPoint and delete the 2 boxes in front of you, so the page can be blank, it's easier for you.
Then, if you are 2003 using go to AutoShapes > Lines > Curve
If you are using 2007 just simply go to Drawing section and click Curve

Then, using the Curve and click the position of the dots just like the image up there and create the tree. Follow the sequence! And remember to link the last line with the starting point! You can change the color of the tree, just like mine, is green~

Step2

And the same, now using the Curve and create the "body"of the tree. Follow the sequence. But this time do not link the last point with the starting point!And same, Change the color
into whatever color.

Step3

If you have this problem (the body of the tree is infront of the tree.)
(2003 version) You can solve this problem by Right Click the body > Order > Send to Back
(2007 version) Just Right Click the body > Send to Back

Step5

Copy the WHOLE christmas tree and paste it. (I am sure you know where and how to do this, right?)

The tree and body that you pasted, change the size and color.
Size: Bigger like 20%
Color: Make it darker

Step6

Select the WHOLE copied Christmas Tree, do the same as Step3, we'll do a 3D effect to the
Christmas Tree.
(2003 version) Right Click the body > Order > Send to Back
(2007 version) Right Click the body > Send to Back
Just like this:

Step7

Now use the Oval and draw some perfect circles, to make a pair of eyes for our Christmas tree
For me, I've draw 4 circles, and create a pair of eyes

Tips: When you use Oval, just simply click one time, and you'll get a perfect circle, just need to adjust the size of the circle :)
Final

You can always add some awesome thing after you create the cartoon, :)
go to http://jinwei-diabolo.blogspot.com, you can see more awesome cartoons there :p
Tips: Use Curve more often, it can create awesome cartoons

Happy drawing (:

2. After you download it, just simply right click the file and click "extract all".

3. Follow the steps bellow.

Windows Vista: Right-click on the font files > "Install"
Windows XP: Put the font files into "Font" that is in "Control Panel"
Mac OS X: Double-click the font file > "Install font" button

There are also some "WARNING" when downloading the fonts :)

How many fonts can be installed?
Windows is supposed to be able to manage about 1000 fonts. But avoid to install too many fonts at one time because that slows down the system. A lot of programs have to load to memory all installed fonts to be able to run.
So it is better to put fonts you use regularly in the Fonts folder. Keep the rest in any other folder or storage device, so you can install/uninstall them as needed.

Are all fonts free of charge?
The fonts presented on this website are their authors' property, and are either freeware, shareware, demo versions or public domain. The license mentioned above the download button is just an indication. Please look at the readme-files in the zips or check the indicated author's website for details, and contact him/her if in doubt.

Why aren't stressed characters or numbers included?

The present fonts on this site are freewares or sharewares, sometimes demos, which don't systematically include stressed letters, figures or certain punctuation chars. Some even work only in lower-case or upper-case letters.

Wish this tutorial works :)

How to study effectively? 10 awesome tips

2009-11-09T15:46:00.000+08:00

Do you think you lack of concentration when you study? Or everything you study can't go in you mind, well, I also have this problem, so search for the "medicine", and now I've created a "How to study efficiently" :) And this is my first post for this blog, enjoy!

Find Out What Kind of Study Methods suit You!
There are two main kind of study methods
1. Study individually
2. Study in group (Recommended!)
Well, for me, I'll prefer group study, this is a awesome way to study, try it, and you will know what's the difference between the two methods. But if you think that study individually is more better, just do it, because everyone has their own personality :)

Clear Your Desk of Everything You Don’t Need
Put away what you do not need for the study session. Seeing reminders of other assessments may increase your anxiety and distract you.

Study at the Same Time, Same Place
Study at the same time and at the same place, devoted to study only. This helps you to associate the time and place with studying and concentrating.

Set a Goal
You must set a goal, this is kind of like self motivation, you can study much more better if you set a goal. E.g. You want to get top 10 in the class or get straight A's for the exam :)

Create Your Own Notes
While you studying, grab a notebook and write all the things as simple as possible. For a good notes, it must have lots of pictures, you can change the words in to pictures. By the way, you can also use some colors while doing your notes, the colors can increase the efficiency of studying :)

Always Hold a Pencil/Pen While You Reading
Well, maybe this is quite "childish" to do this, but let your hand+pen guide what are you reading will definitely increase your concentration.

Take Breaks Every Hour
It is important to take a break before you feel tired and lose your concentration completely. Regular breaks at least once an hour helps to sustain your concentration. If the work is not going too well and you have difficulties in concentrating, you may need a long break and go back to it later.

Drink Water Often
Drink plenty of water during a study session, especially when you feel sluggish.

Never Force Yourself
Forcing information during the last few days before exam is incredibly inefficient. Instead try to slowly interlink ideas as they come to you so studying becomes a quick recap rather than a first attempt at learning.

Sleep On It
This doesn't mean that sleep on the book, it is study before you sleep. Study before going to bed unless you are physically or mentally overtired. Freshly learned material is better remembered after a period of sleep than after an equal period of daytime activity because retroactive interference takes place.

:D good luck people, do comment in my blog :D
