How To Lose Weight Fast: A Personal Experience

If you are the one who often spend sometimes on the internet searching keywords for “weight loss”, “rapid weight loss” and “how to lose weight” than almost certainly, you are the kind of person who randomly eat something that looks good, smells good and tastes good. If you’re able to stop the habit (the eating, not the browsing), maybe you aren’t that far away from overweight salvation.

A lot of people whining about their size, about the excess fat around their tummy, thighs and any place too vulgar to be mentioned here, yet they’re doing nothing about it. They know that their weight issues may have been triggered their low self-confidence, their inability to squat down to reach the bottom drawers and devastated their sexual life, yet there’s nothing they do to change it. They still consume unhealthy, fat-laden foods, and their fancy treadmill are dusted and cobwebbed, completely forgotten, and they keep whining about how much their weight are.

No offense, but if that sounds like you, instead of whining, you can start eating the right food. Try to put “rapid weight loss foods” into your online search for a start. You might want to narrow the results a little bit, see which one of the results contain the best suggestion that fit into the category of rapid weight loss foods.
From my own experience, I compile the rapid weight loss foods in the following.

1.    Coffee. I’m not talking about the fancy, Italian-esque, Seattle-based, decafs all New Yorkers seem to worship. I’m talking about the strong, potent home brew (instant coffee is OK).  If you fear of what caffeine will do to your body, bear in mind that it’s nothing compared to what obesity will. Right amount of coffee will supply your body with enough energy while at the same time keep your gastric juice at the low-level. You won’t easily starved nor feel lethargic. Drink a cup of coffee whenever you’re hungry. You’ll see that it’s effective to hold back your craving for food at the meal time. Give a week’s worth experiment before you decrease/increase the dose.

The Beatles' "Two Of Us" Rehearsal Video



Man! Watching this Beatles video make my eyes glassy and all; to witness my heroes in such happy and playful spirit while rehearsing "Two of Us". Seeing this, can you really believe that this is the same band that breaks apart not long after? The combination of seeing the way John played his guitar while Paul do the Elvis impersonation thing is just precious. Do you notice the way  John and Paul exchanged glaze and smile in the near end, like they want to hug each other or something? OMG!

You see, at the time of this video, the relation between the two was described as "tense". But seeing this video, who would believe that? The only tense person in this video was Yoko. Like always. I mean, what's her problem? The happiness of the atmosphere is so thick it can bring smile to the one  only see it in the video (like you and me), and she couldn't even crack a smile although she was at the same room?

Apple Magic Mouse Is More A Magic Soap Bar


Apple recently introduced new products, among others is a new hybrid of mouse...called, ewww, Magic Mouse...
Apart from the hideous name, the so-called clicking device is quite a beauty, really. All-whitey, seamless surface and the coolest yet, its Multi Touch technology... You can click, rattle and scroll at any point on its surface.
Apple said it will be a standard device for any new iMac, but can also be bought separately for only $69...Please tell me it's purely economical and has nothing to do with its designer preferred position, yah?


Whatever. You can connect this Magic Mouse to your Mac wirelessly via Bluetooth. It can reach up to 33 feet away.
By any mean, it is a cool peripheral for any Mac-mongers out there. If you are a nerd, using this in the open can significantly better your chance of getting a date. Don't leave it in the toilet though (why would you do that for?). There's a 50% that it will be mistaken for a silky, fancy soap bar.

Rage Against The Wall Street

I believe, the word "upset" is an understatement to describe what the people of the United States of America (sans few New Yorkers) felt when some major firms in Wall Street (prominently Goldman-Sachs--as in bloodsachs-er--Merryl Lynch and Morgan Stanley) announced the amount of bonuses they gonna pay their employees. New York times wrote that it gonna reach $18.4 Billions, but according to WSJ Blog:
Total compensation including salary and bonus ran to $15 billion at Merrill Lynch alone. At Goldman Sachs, almost $11 billion. Add it up across Wall Street, and total 2008 bonuses may easily run two to three times that $18.4 billion number.
It doesn't matter which numbers are more accurate, especially when the allegation's consensus is that that bonuses shouldn't be given at the first place.

You see, these firms which give such big, fat, bonuses (I bet you want to be their employee, do you not?) are the same firms which need to be rescued from themselves not more than 12 months ago. Obama's government poured in billions of taxpayer's money to save their asses. And now, the allegedly same money are abused into bonuses which they grant themselves as rewards for the great job they didn't do! It's more than ironic, especially when that job happened to be to overcome trouble  they created in the first place.
Even Obama thinks it's "outrageous":


The Daily Beast wrote:
Firms are making money not because they’re good at what they do, but because they have been given so many subsidies that it’s impossible not to make money.
Good point... but what, then? If even in such bad times, financial firms can greedily ripped off people's money right from their pockets, what can stop it to happen in the future? And in the mean time, it maybe a good thing to do for the people to learn how to pull a bank job.

Twilight Saga Review

Recently I just canned down The Twilight Saga by Stephanie Meyer my girlfriend bought. I have to admit that it is not as good as I pictured them to be. I'm sorry Ms Meyer and all of the Twilight Saga fans, but I have to say it anyway. ("Why the hell you read them anyway?! Well, I was curious. Who weren't with all the hype? I couldn't review something if I never read it in the first time can I?)

You see, when a series of novel is entitled with the word "Saga", you expect that whatever they are have a quality that is grandeur, majestic, two of quality that ironically missing from the tetralogy.
Put all the mythical things aside, and it's only about a shallow love story between two people-turned-out-to-be-a-love-triangle-which-come-to-two-people-again-in-the-end story. A Harlequin story. So much of a saga.

The ending kinds of end abruptly either. When I was close to the part of the "final battle" I honestly think, "Well, if it goes the way I wanted it, then it will be enough as an amend of the time I need to finish all of the books." But, as it is turned out to be, my time is wasted nevertheless. I think Ms Meyer has betrayed all of her fans (including her rather reluctant readers) when she decided to not made Bella rip Jane's head, or Emmet skinned any of the Volturi's guards alive (that boy do need some serious angst channel he never get despite his strength and fierceness) and Jacob and his packs do serious damage to the vampire elders. It's a twist ending no one expected indeed. A major turn-off like no others.

In my humble opinion, the series can be better if:
  • Bella is not such a big selfish, unappreciative, hypocrite drama-queen. I don't know why, The terms Supermassive ***hole comes to mind everytime I think of her. Oh yeah, one reason is that because Muse is behind the story.
  • Edward is not such a  melodramatic emo-ish vampire. You're a vampire dude, toughen up!
  • Stephanie Meyer do not insist that a rock solid body could have...dimples. WTF?!
  • Meyer picked another town as the setting. It kinda logic to choose the Northwest as the setting, being the rainiest place and all. But when I think (I bet many people, too) of Northwest I think (besides the lumberjacks) of Nirvana, Mudhoney, The Melvins and now I have to kick out the images of vampires and werewolves (and somehow,.. Muse) roaming the street  that once roamed by my heroes.
  • Charlie stays as the way he is. He is my favorite character so far in the series, and he's not even a goddamn important ones. And seriously, when anyone rather to choose irrelevant character over the central ones as his most favorite character, the author should look again on how her characterization works.
  • Like I've mentioned above, the story ends with the war. The 1/4 pages of Breaking Dawn are pretty much  tell you that a major war is coming only to be concluded that that war isn't going to happen at all. It's disturbing really. In future sequel perhaps? Whatever. I don't even care who'll be the victor. The Volturi or the Cullens. All I wanted is expectation pay day. 

This is a petty review, and I do hope I don't hurt anyone by writing these. It's my own opinion anyway. It doesn't change anything. Nevertheless, my opinion remain the same. Twilight series are mediocre at best.

Ubisoft Hottie: Jade Raymond, The New Gamegirl


As per 31 August 2009, Ubisoft appointed Jade Raymond as the head of its Toronto Studio. Don't have any clue of what Ubisoft is? Well, ever heard of Splinter Cell? Assasin's Creed? Ubisoft is the game manufacturer responsible for those hit games. "So, what so good about appoint someone as the head officer? It's only natural, isn't it?"


Well. let's see. Before Jade Raymond joined the ranks in Ubisoft, all of you, including me, gamers and non-gamers alike, will agree that when we heard the word "gamer" what comes up is an image of someone looking like this:



Or maybe a hairy Cro-Mag with pathetic social life  like this:


 



But a babe like this?
