Keiko sensei's family

Took Keiko-sensei's mum, Yoko-san n cousin n son, Noriko-san & Sou-chan to airport today! They were only here for 9 days, I've been trying to squeeze time to take them around as much as I can. Also met Keiko-sensei's auntie n uncle who come from Chiba, Masako-san & Kouhei-san, took them to Freo for final shopping before they went back to Japan, they followed tour so only spent 4 days in Perth!

I enjoyed joining them as if I was a tourist, carried my big heavy camera taking pictures of every little things I see, they've been treating me a lot throughout their stay in Perth!! n I got very few chances to treat them back plus only small treats like cakes n coffee >< felt even bad when I received money from Yoko-san before she left, I was surprised to see 200 bucks! I didn't help for $$ n tats way too much >< she told me to use the money to buy railway pass so I can travel to Yamagata to visit her in Nov! Couldn't refuse n was forced to accept.. So I've decided to travel to Yamagata this Nov on her birthday hopefully!

Pic 1-4: Sou-chan super cute!!!! Not those annoying type of kids kekeke miss him very much ady ><

Pic 5: from Yoko-san

Kompo-to

Waaaaa ureshii~~~ (happy!!)
Learned some good desserts from Keiko-sensei's mum :)

Apple wine dessert (known as kompo-to in Japanese I think)
1. Cook cut apples + sugar in a pot until becomes watery (no need to add water)
2. Turn fire off, pour white wine into pot, leave until cold, enter to fridge (any kind of white wine)

Great desserts n easy to make :) yum yum

Pic 2 - Blueberry strudel!!! Love it more than apple one :)

Lose weights

1.       Don't skip meals
If you skip meals it increases your brain's desire for calorie rich foods to compensate for the lack of energy.
The calorie rich foods are more likely to increase body fat. 

2.       Decrease plate size
Studies have shown that decreasing your serving plate size decreases total food consumption by up to 22%.
Over the course of the year this would account to kilograms of fat.
A lady who eats healthy food can still consume too much food which adds to the total calories consumed. 

3.       Watch your calorie intake
Being a little more careful about the foods you choose can decrease calorie intake by up to 50%...
Once again, this equates to kilograms of fat over the year.
For example, a black coffee has 10 times less calories than a cappuccino. 

4.       Don't blame your metabolism
We either eat too much or don't burn up enough energy. Excess calories cause "creeping obesity" i.e. we gradually accumulate fat stores. 

5.       Eating protein keeps you full for longer
This makes you less likely to want to continually eat more food through the day. 

6.       Eating soups (or blended meals) keep you full longer
Once again, the stomach takes longer to process this (surprisingly!!) so you are less likely to want to eat more. 

7.       Wide choice = eat more
If you have a wide choice of many dishes you are more likely to eat greater volumes of food.
For example we usually eat more when buffet dining vs. "a la carte" 

8.       Consume low fat dairy
Consuming low fat dairy helps your body get rid of more fat through the bowels. 

9.       Exercise "after burn"
Exercise causes more fat burning in the 24hrs after exercise than it does during the actual exercise session.
This is because your body's metabolism stays high even 24hrs after exercise. 

10.   Keep moving
Making small changes to your day significantly increases the energy you burn. For example stand instead of sitting, use the stairs instead of the lift, march on the spot in front of the TV, calf raise when waiting in cues!

Hunted ><

niceeeee, noted in my coming holiday shopping list now :D

累 eh...

最近工作真的很忙
这星期又没机会打排球 T.T
每天最迟8点起床 最早8点才到家
累 eh...

最近也变得有很多很多的想法
到了现在的年龄说老 不老 说年轻 也不很年轻
总之不是只顾着说对未来有什么想法
而是奋斗着去实现以前决定的梦想

我现在只能一步一步来
偶尔停下脚步 透透气
享受身边美好的 人事物
重新感受一下自己有多幸运
再做好全方位的冲刺
向前冲啦

ε=ε=┏( ・_・)┛

大家一起加油～

登山途中被求婚 女子樂極生悲摔下山

更新日期:2009/09/08 10:35

美國一名男子在登山途中向女朋友求婚，沒想到這突如其來的驚喜，竟讓女友樂極生悲摔下山去，還好她只是短暫暈厥，沒有生命危險。

這 對情侶昨天相約到華盛頓郊區爬山，兩人走到波多馬克河的維吉尼亞大瀑布時，在水花飛霧的浪漫氛圍中，男子單膝下跪向女友求婚，女方驚喜之餘，腳步一個不 穩，摔下岩壁，掉在三公尺下的一塊大石頭上昏了過去，被救護直升機送往醫院，還好沒有大礙，她也沒有忘記已經答應了男友的求婚。

muahahahahhahahaa

美肥胖研究發現 高熱量宵夜讓你體重吃不消

更新日期:2009/09/06 23:25

（路透華盛頓5日電）半夜翻冰箱掃蕩食物，可能造成比消化不良更糟後果。老鼠實驗進一步支持這樣的說法：進食時間決定所攝取的卡路里，究竟使你的臀圍增加，或是正常消耗掉。

伊利諾州（Illinois）西北大學（NorthwesternUniversity）圖瑞克教授（Fred Turek）的研究發現，老鼠為夜行性動物，牠們若在應該睡眠的白天餵食，體重會比夜間餵食的老鼠增加更多。

這篇昨天發表在國際肥胖期刊（InternationalJournal of Obesity）的研究報告指出，日間餵食組的老鼠，體重較夜間組增加7.8%。即使兩個互異時段的餵食量相同，運動量也相當，結果還是一樣。

研究說：「光改變進食時間，就能對體重造成極大的影響。」

「即使老鼠在深夜的正常進食時間攝取高熱量食物，體重增加程度還是比日間進食的老鼠低。」

Main Point**** 研究人員說，這項發現可能有助想要減肥的人，只要改變正餐和點心的進食時間，譬如白天多吃一點，夜間可就得少吃冰淇淋這類高熱量食物，便可降低肥胖的風險。

Hope this helps =P

その人だから Because of him

条件を考えてすきになる。
そんな理由でだれかのことをすきになる。
それは、 経済的なこと。
なにかをもっているということ。
らくできること。
だけど、 その条件は、
そのあと、 変わることがある。
時代や流れ、 その人自身の問題で。
そういうとき、 最初の条件は、
なんの役にもたたない。
いざというとき、
なにかが変わったとき、
力になるのは、 その人の思い。
すきという気持ち。
その人がもっている条件は、
おまけのようなもの。
それに、 最初は、 なにももっていなくても
そのうち、 手にすることもある。
すきなのは、その人だから。
なにがあってもいっしょにいられるのは、
1番すきな人だから。
