DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER

Written by crizlai on May 5th, 2011 | Filed under: life, lifestyle, living, rant

DIAMONDSFOREVER

When your woman put up that sour face, you should know that she’s looking for something that would brighten up her days. What would be the best gift to get that sparkling set of teeth shown? A dazzling white diamond would be the ideal choice since it has been said to be a woman’s best friend. I’m sure you won’t get to wipe out that smile for a long time to come. LOL!

Anyway, there’s the 3Cs to watch out for when you purchase diamonds for your loved ones. They are the Clarity & Color, Cut and Carat. The value of each piece of diamond would depend on the factors above. Most diamonds would have a bit of color which would not be visible to the naked eyes. The more colorless a diamond is the higher the value is. Moreover, the cut is very important. It has to be accurate to show the required brilliance. Lastly, it’s the carat. The heavier it is the more value it has. A carat is approximately about 200 milligrams.

Depending on your budget, diamonds can come in many forms such as necklaces, rings, bracelets, ear rings and many more. I’m sure Diamonds International Jewelry Aruba would be glad to help you make your choice when you are at the Caribbean vacationing.

THE LAWN HAS TURNED INTO A MINI JUNGLE

Written by crizlai on May 5th, 2011 | Filed under: life, lifestyle, living, rant

HONDAMOWER

Have you experienced testing out your driving skill in parking your car into your driveway? It may sound easy but try doing that when the whole place looked like a secondary jungle. It’s even more mind boggling when you have tons of groceries to bring indoor and you can’t even get your car door to open wide. Each time you tried to get your family members to help you out in cutting the grasses, you would hear more excuses than ever. No one is willing to spend hours trimming the grass and your hands are forever tight with the daily chores to handle that hard and sweaty job.

There are many times when you had thought of calling in some casual workers to handle the task but eventually you gave up that decision as the cost of employing others to do the job might eat into your monthly budget. What else could you do except to leave the lawn as your last priority in your “want-to-do” list? In a long run, this might not be such a good idea as it may attract unnecessary pests which might be bring threats to everyone’s safety.

What would you do then if you had encountered such a headache? Would you buy a manual lawn mower which would be at least better than your old grass cutter or would you invest in motored lawn mowers such as the honda mowers? I would think having one great one would be the best to cut down some precious time. Don’t you? 🙂

WHAT IS CALCIUM DEFICIENCY?

Written by crizlai on May 5th, 2011 | Filed under: health, life, living, rant

CALCIUMDEFICIENCY

Calcium is one mineral that is important in everyone’s diet. By having calcium deficiency, one may experience a long term effect of the bones thinning, osteoporosis or osteomalacia. It has been known through a recent study that the deficiency may lead to other diseases such as hypertension, high blood pressure or even colon cancer.

Some major symptoms of calcium deficiency can be detected clearly on people who would look rather pale, energy drained, tired, easily nervous, suffer from mental derangements and sensitive to cold temperature. Due to the changes in the bones and muscles, a calcium deficient person may have porous and fragile bones, tooth decay, heart palpitations, muscle cramps, and so on which may lead to other health complications if left untreated. Back cramps, joint pains, tingling and numbness are a few of other symptoms that one may experience.

Luckily, there are ways to prevent having calcium deficiency today as you could have the adequate amount either in a dietary form or as a calcium supplement. Of course, it would best if you could approach your respective health care provider or your medical practitioner for more advice on calcium deficiency.

MAINSTREAM MEDIA VS INDEPENDENT NEWS ON FUKUSHIMA RADIATION FALLOUTS: WHO TO BELIEVE?

Written by crizlai on Apr 13th, 2011 | Filed under: food, heavy, life, living, rant

If you have been constantly following the Mainstream Media, we were told that a large numbers of food are all safe to consume. The FDA is in charge, after all. So it must really be safe. How true is this? The respective governments have always been saying about radiations and chemicals: If it’s invisible, it MUST be safe! It’s like saying that the cows are not contaminated but the grasses they ate are… What a joke!

MOOCOW

From an extract in the Natural news, it was learned that:

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continues to release new data showing that various milk and water supply samples from across the US are testing increasingly high for radioactive elements such as Iodine-131, Cesium-134, and Cesium-137, all of which are being emitted from the ongoing Fukushima Daiichia nuclear fallout. As of April 10, 2011, 23 US water supplies have tested positive for radioactive Iodine-131 (http://opendata.socrata.com/w/4ig7-9eqd/y34g-bnf3?cur=TgjW3mRumyl&from=root), and worst of all, milk samples from at least three US locations have tested positive for Iodine-131 at levels exceeding EPA maximum containment levels (MCL) (http://opendata.socrata.com/w/pkfj-5jsd/y34g-bnf3?cur=w_bE5ToS3hx&from=root).

Water may be the least of our problems, however. New EPA data just released on Sunday shows that at least three different milk samples – all from different parts of the US — have tested positive for radioactive Iodine-131 at levels that exceed the EPA maximum thresholds for safety, which is currently set at 3.0 pico Curies per Liter (pCi/l).

In Phoenix, Arizona, a milk sample taken on March 28, 2011, tested at 3.2 pCi/l. In Little Rock, Arkansas, a milk sample taken on March 30, 2011, tested at 8.9 pCi/l, which is almost three times the EPA limit. In Hilo, Hawaii, a milk sample collected on April 4, 2011, tested at 18 pCi/l, a level six times the EPA maximum safety threshold. The same Hawaii sample also tested at 19 pCi/l for Cesium-137, which has a half life of 30 years (http://www.naturalnews.com/031992_radioactive_cesium.html), and a shocking 24 pCi/l for Cesium-134, which has a half life of just over two years (http://opendata.socrata.com/w/pkfj-5jsd/y34g-bnf3?cur=w_bE5ToS3hx&from=root).

Why is this milk contamination significant? Milk, of course, typically represents the overall condition of the food chain because cows consume grass and are exposed to the same elements as food crops and water supplies. In other words, when cows’ milk starts testing positive for high levels of radioactive elements, this is indicative of radioactive contamination of the ENTIRE food supply.

No safe level of radiation from nuclear fallout. Background and airplane radiation is an external emitter of radiation, while Fukushima-induced radiation in food and water is an internal emitter. The former, which is considered “normal” radiation, hits your body from the outside, while the latter goes directly inside your body and into your digestive tract. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see the immense difference between the two, and the much more severe consequences associated with literally ingesting radiation verses having it hit your skin.

When you consume radioactive food, the threat to your health increases exponentially. That’s because internal radiation is far more deadly to your body than external radiation. It all comes down to the law of the inverse square of the distance between you and the radiation source. A speck of radioactive dust that’s one meter away from you, for example, is twice as dangerous as that same speck four meters away. But if you eat that radioactive speck as in whatever radiation contaminated food, it might only be a millimeter away from your internal tissues. You have now magnified the radiation intensity by one million times, even if that tiny speck has been labeled as a “low level”.

After all, you are what you eat. If you eat radioactive cesium which had been absorbed into your “fresh” food, you quickly become a WALKING RADIOACTIVE TIME BOMB from the inside. It’s a matter of time before your “internal engines” break down and erupts…

AN ENLIGHTENING EXPERIENCE DURING A REUNION

Written by crizlai on Mar 13th, 2011 | Filed under: accessories, home, life, lifestyle, living, product, rant, tips

MIELEVACUUM

With most of my friends back during the recent festive season, we took the opportunity to hold a reunion cum open house party at one of my friend’s recently bought double-storey semi-detached house. To our amazes, it was one of the most well maintained houses we have ever been to, with not even a speck of dust in sight. The puzzling part was that she would only employ the help of a weekend maid every fortnightly to assist in cleaning up the house.

As a working wife, mother and cook for dinners, how did she manage to cope with the vast space? Magic? Hmm… maybe not as she’s not just like the “Sabrina” I know and I did not see “Salem” the cat around too. Haha! I hope she will reveal to us her secret as my house would really need such a clean environment and I do have some pets running about too.

Ever since junior high school, I have never seen her surrounding to be this super clean unless she had the help of her mother, who was not staying with her that time. After much persuasion from our bunch of good friends, she finally revealed her secret. She relied on the help of her old faithful – the Miele vacuum cleaner to do all the wonders. With barely much effort, she managed to suck up all the unwanted allergens at every loops and corners in the house. What an amazing product! I better get one too as mine did not have the ability to keep my house spotlessly clean.

Anyway, it was indeed a great party as we get to exchange news about our lives since leaving school. Moreover, I had an enlightening experience learning how to be a great household taker in the near future.
