Looking forward to expand your horizon? Look no further and embrace yourself. Believe it or not, exercise is one of the greatest available option out there. So, if you want to survive in this harsh and competitive environment, there's absolutely no room for complacency.

You'll have to strive harder and prevail among others as this is rather inevitable. Of all techniques, why exercise? Apparently there are some connections between exercising and brain functions to some extent. Somehow when people are involved in fitness regimes, both their reasoning ability and memorizing skills are improved significantly.



Even brisk walking for months is sufficient to enhance your memory. Reason being so, is that exercising seems to be beneficial to the brain. As you exercise, blood is circulated rapidly throughout your body, hence increasing the amount of oxygen being transferred to the brain. An oxygenated brain will definitely work better.

Ironically enough, while stress exercise seeks to enhance memory, any work related stress seemed to work differently. Having to comply certain standards and dates, this would put a person's physical and mental strength to test particularly on a hectic and frustrating day at work. Failure always result in penalties, and it's considerably great if you can even remember your name!!

the right tea?

listening to: memory of lightwaves - kyle landry

A musical dilemma I would say - piano or guitar? I have ambivalence towards both of the musical instruments, one of which I will begin with. Both sounds equally as good and this left me equally perplexed. Of course, I've alluded musical interest to cronies who had been really supportive but none really helped. Which could possibly be the right cup of tea?

Speaking of tea, did you know that tea can inhibit body's ability to absorb important nutrients, iron and calcium? This is not entirely wrong. Iron is actually soluble in instant tea, and 85% only soluble in green tea whereas only 69% is able to dissolve in black tea. This in turn leads us to calcium; where 66% is soluble in black, 46% in green and only 35% in instant tea.



While this might be sufficient enough, mineral's solubility can actually be improved just simply by adding lemon juice or the enzyme tannase to the tea. Speculations of insoluble minerals were made possibly because the they were bound to the tea's large polyphenolic molecules, and that the acidity of lemon juice eventually breaks these molecules apart.

Athletes would be aware of this, and they definitely watch their intake of iced tea. Excessive coffee isn't too good either of course. Left undecided, maybe I'm better off with lemon juice instead of tea. Music theory that is. Still, I have great zeal for music; music expresses all the sheer exuberance in life!!

break (down)

listening to: staring at the sun - rooster

Three more weeks to go till the next semester commence and and 3 more months for university application. Day by day, I have tried to improve myself. To boost my strength and also to rectify all my weaknesses, yet everything seemed stagnant. Progresses stalled in the slow-growth lane, but these progresses are still within the experiment period.

As much as I want to further my studies, this prolonged education has rendered me speechless. Making a decision isn't as easy as it seems. The perplexity of deciding can't really be defined. Due to this sole factor, I'm beginning to wilt in the sea of confusion. Do I really want to continue whatever I'm currently pursuing now, I asked myself. Maybe some motivation could propel me forward but still motivation alone is not enough.



Truth is, I need confidence. The worst thing I fear most as of now is the fear of being rejected. I've come so far, only to hear that I've gained admission into a university in the states, not rejection. Although this route may be challenging, stacking up the building blocks of life is compulsory for everyone. No matter what, I shall not relinquish my goals, my achievements. My experiment has to work. I'll push the boundaries; for I'm the experiment!!
