People always say, “You are what you eat” but how much of this “mantra” do you really believe in? And how many of you actually eat according to the food pyramid?
- Eat lots of bread, cereal, pasta, fruits and vegetables;
- Limit your fat intake of meat, fish, eggs, cheese and yogurts;
- Avoid eating fatty, oily and sweet foods.
Either way, I found this informative article on a new health site, and I thought some of you might benefit from it — Yvy, you hear me? *smiles*
The article, Eating through time, provides useful eating tips throughout our life — from pre-adolescence to adolescence to adulthood to the golden years as well as some tips on how to prevent premature aging.
For example, if you’re trying to conceive, try take folic acid supplements for three months and limit or exclude alcohol. For a healthy pregnancy, one should indulge in vegetables, fruits and avoid junk food, fast food, alcohol altogether.

Psst.. Have you heard of bulk buying? Do you know that if you purchased something in bulk, you’ll get your items cheaper? Think Mydin. Or Tesco *smiles* OK, let’s not beat around the bush, a Malaysian online bulk discount store had recently been launched (it’s called Tumpang, by the way) and it will help you save by letting you by in bulk. But that doesn’t mean you’ll have to buy a dozen to be entitled to the discounted price (read: even if you buy only ONE, you’ll still be entitled to the discounts). Come, let me explain more about it..
The concept is fairly new to me, but is actually quite simple. Here’s how it works, in 3 easy steps:
- GATHER: Browse around Tumpang for all kinds of available deals (the list is growing) and click on any item for more details. If you like what you see, hit the “Tumpang It!” button to place a booking. Click on the “Tell Your Friend” button to gather more people for this deal. A Tumpang deal is only successful when the “Quantity Needed” is fulfilled. So the more people you gather, the quicker you’ll seal the deal.
- BUY: When the “Quantity Needed” is fulfilled, you are ready to buy. Follow the instructions given by the seller (or driver) when you view details of the item of your purchase. Alternatively, contact the seller by leaving a comment or a Private Message.
- SAVE: Now this is where things get excited! Since Tumpang is all about savings, with every ringgit you save, you’ll accumulate Toints - a Tumpang currency. With Toints, you’ll be able to trade on Tumpang as a seller. The more Toints you have, the more you can sell and the higher your Tumpang ranking.
Register now even if you don’t think you will buy anything at the moment. But then you know, domain names are going at RM 35 each, which is RM 20 OFF the normal retail price. WUCHING!! What are you waiting for?! See the cute little red button on the right? CLICK IT! Now!! Hahhaha 
So.. You must have heard of this but I’m going to be so very thick-skinned and INFORM you again that PayPerPost (as well as other sponsors) is sponsoring a blogging awards called the Blogger’s Choice Awards which is currently on-going.
Not only can you nominate your favorite blogs within the many categories but you can also vote and comment on others that have already been submitted and (understandably) others can also vote and comment on the blogs you’ve nominated. Some of the categories include Best Blog Design, Best Educational Blog, best Parenting Blog, Freakiest Blogger and, read this, Worst Blog of All Time!! Now, this sounds fun.. The exciting thing is votes will be shown on the site in real-time, so you can see who’s leading within each category!
Winners in each respective category will be recognized at a one-of-a-kind awards ceremony on June 2nd, at Postiecon in Orlando, Florida. After the ceremony, the results will be posted on the Blogger’s Choice Awards site.
There is so much flexibility in this “competition” that there are no restrictions to nominations, votes, or comments whatsoever. You can nominate as many blog sites as you want and you can also comment as often as you’d like. You may also vote for as many blogs as you like, but you can only vote once per blog, per category.
Cast your vote now!
