Eating healthy: Some diet tips.

2010-07-14T21:54:00.000-07:00

Diet and exercise, which one is more important when it comes to loosing weight? Looking at this question realistically, let’s say you decided to devour a donut which is roughly 400 calories, it would take you about half an hour of intense cardio to burn that off. It only takes 3 minutes to polish off a sweet delicacy, but so much more to loose it. To answer this question, yes, your

Thursday Thirteen and a video boys and girls

2010-07-01T00:13:00.000-07:00

HBO had shown a film, "Lazarus Effect" sometime in May. I was happy JoinRed posted the video up this 31 minute long documentary on YouTube. The main idea is getting rid of aids in Africa and what we can do to help. So instead of rambling I am going to go ahead and post the video up.While you are watching feel free to add in your link and/or a comment.

Ever seen a baby with a bong?

Nowadays, facebook is the perfect place to post up pictures on ANYTHING. If you want to share your druken memories with the whole world, all you need is someone with a camera, and the ability to tag pictures. It also takes the ability not to know your privacy setting options (I learned that the hard way)People are posting a lot of images up, some of which might be considered disturbing to others.

Music Monday

2010-06-28T10:13:00.000-07:00

So today's band of Music Monday is Hungry Lucy. Honestly today I just feel lazy and worn out to really write out my own description, so I have decided to copy and paste the band description from Wikipedia along with their link. By the way Hungry Lucy is not entirely a new band, and I am not sure if they are coming out with any new music yet. If they are, please let me know.Hungry Lucy is a

Religous tolerance

2010-06-27T15:07:00.000-07:00

For the longest time, I had little faith that there was a God. I went through many rough patches in high school and the first few years of college. During that time, my belief in God slowly began to diminish. Unlike most people who find God during their times of sorrow and regret, I pushed myself away from him. As I grew older, I realized how crucial religion was to my spirituality.I was born and

Boom, Boom, KABOOM!

2010-06-24T12:01:00.000-07:00

The past week has been quite interesting in terms of weather. It has been raining at least once everyday, and I have found an odd comfort in the violent rain and angry thunder. Yesterday my friend and I drove back from a convention in Perioa and saw quite a few drivers seeking shelter underneath the overpass and bridges. Sadly one truck decided to speed up on a ramp, and due to that thoughtless

Music Monday

2010-06-21T11:10:00.000-07:00

So I decided that Monday is hereby declared "Music Mondays" Plus, it gives me an excuse to share some independent artists hardly heard on the radio. This Monday's artist is James Yuill. Yuill also called "the one man band" creatively mixes his acoustic guitar, laptop and decks to create some pretty amazing music. A lot of his songs are a fusion of folk and electronica, and Yuill is able to merge

Mmmmm. Relaxing music

2010-06-18T11:10:00.000-07:00

Recently, I was looking for some relaxing music to play in the background while either cleaning, sleeping, or just reading. I was happy to find this AMAZING website called Dalishini. The music consists of a wonderful mixture of east and west, sort of like a fusion. The Dalishini home page is accompanied by a pleasant instrumental. According to the artists of this East and West Fusion, they ask

BP executives told by Rep. Cao to commit suicide

2010-06-16T23:00:00.000-07:00

It's no surprise that there are many individuals who are livid at how BP executives are treating the oil spill fiasco. Rep. "Joseph" Cao from Louisiana received many responses when he supposedly indirectly implied that BP executives should commit suicide or "harakiri"Samurai warriors back in the 12th century used to take their own lives to protest a decision or to support a greater cause.

Do you have a thirst for knowledge?

2010-06-15T09:51:00.001-07:00

Just several months ago, I saw that ChaCha was hiring for guides. I went ahead and applied for the expediter position, passed the test, did a simulation run, and in no time, was answering questions, or sending them off to different specialists to answer. For those who are not aware of what ChaCha is, it basically is an answering texting service like KGB. Only difference between ChaCha and other

Words of wisdom.... wear sunscreen

2010-06-09T00:37:00.000-07:00

I love finding quotes, stories, or anecdotes on anything inspiring or uplifting. I believe that hearing words of wisdom, or taking in doses of encouragement can help us travel the difficult road ahead.As soon as I heard Baz Luhrmann's wear sunscreen speech several years ago, I had to share it with everyone I saw. These words still resonate with me today, and with each day that I get older, I find

Toxic pet foods,

2010-05-28T21:03:00.000-07:00

If you're a pet owner, then you are probably aware that human food is not the best pet food. Sometimes we let this pass, and allow the dog to lick the left overs, or devour the remaining chicken bones. While it may be o.k. to feed our pets human food in small amounts, there are certain foods that we eat that should NEVER be fed to our pets. These foods include avocado, onion powder, chives and

Common interview myths that can cost you your job

2010-01-10T07:54:00.000-08:00

Let's face it, in today's circus of an economy, landing a decent job, actually, even landing any job is tough. If you are just graduating from college, you are either continuing on to grad school (like me) OR you are sick and tired of school and immersing yourself in the real world. Interviews are unavoidable in almost every job application process, and knowing how to tackle them is always

GRE blues

2010-01-06T07:49:00.000-08:00

Since it is about a week past new years, I believe a HAPPY NEW YEAR is long over due. I hope everyone had a restful winter break, whether it was several days to a month of vacation. I am back at work, and ready to start my LAST semester as an undergrad.I notice that I have not posted since November. The past 2 months, I have been preparing for the GRE (graduate entrance exams) in order to apply

Couple is refused the right to get married

2009-10-17T17:44:00.000-07:00

I am going to make an assumption here when I say that we have come a long way since the civil movement. People of all different cultures, race, and creed are allowed to attend the same schools, universities, and same public facilities. Not only that, but interracial marriages are already increasingly common. With the fact that mixed marriages are a very big part of our diverse society, I think

Happy Diwali everyone

2009-10-16T22:59:00.000-07:00

A lot of people may not know what Diwali is, and honestly, although I am Indian, I am not that knowledgeable on the exact description. What I do know is that Diwali, in India, is known as the Festival of Lights.Since I am not very good at explaining this magnificent holiday, here is a little excerpt from a website I found that gave an excellent description on what Diwali is:"What Is Diwali

The stages of change.

2009-10-16T09:38:00.000-07:00

Hey all!I know I have not been exactly consistent with my blogging posts, I just have felt chaotic balancing life with school, my school organizations, and helping out at the homeless shelter near my campus.On another note, I wanted to share with you one of the main important topics we have been discussing in our Management of Human & Family Resources.Prochaska and his peers have done a lot of

What is your mission statement?

2009-09-27T15:28:00.000-07:00

In my Management of Human and Family Resources class, we just finished reading Covey's book, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Now when I say we, that we does not include me. When it comes to this book, I have procrastinated like no other. So instead of being proactive (Covey's first habit), and instead of putting first things first (Habit 3) I ended up being reactive to the fact that I have
