Great nationwide coverage with Straight Talk

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Straight Talk for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

How often it makes me feel we are dependent on a phones network when we need to call a friend and discuss an important issue. It gets frustrating when the network problems begin to appear but with straight talk, a device which only uses trusted phone manufactures like Nokia, Samsung, Motorola, and LG, i would be able to save money enough to buy myself a whole new wardrobe something i love the most!  Because with straight talk there are no credit checks, no contracts and no surprise bills!  Straight talk provides you with everything you need in order to enjoy a great nationwide coverage and reception.   

Every mom knows best what is beneficial for her family and since she in responsible for the monthly budgeting of the family i think it would wonderful if she provided her family a phone with no activation, reactivation, or termination charges. Moms really need to save up for a rainy day so there would enough to spend and save as well without having to pay extra for contracts which ensures phone bills cut in half!

The monthly "All you need plan" is every essential for heavy phone users as it meets the needs of 30 Mb data, 1000 minutes and 1000 texts which also includes picture messaging for just $45. All this equates to $499 a year!

I think having a phone which provides you everything you need and where the long distance service enables one to make international calls form just about anywhere, home phone or office phone at such low rates is a blessing to users.

Young uses an select from reconditioned phones with camera, web access and mp3 players for just $10!

Youth Juice is Life Changing

My life has changed completely this past year. I am doing things that I never would have thought possible for me. I go out and enjoy things, even today, to just go to a neighborhood event, enjoy a hot dog, watch the kids in the bouncy castle and not have one iota of anxiety. This is purely from the YouthJuice providing my brain with the nutrients it needs. I have been cured of anxiety. Now, I'm off to the next event because I just plain am not sitting around waiting for life to come to me anymore.

Seriously, if you are finding it difficult to get out of the house, have attended tons of therapy and just simply cannot motivate yourself to get on with your dreams, your aspirations, this simple puree of berries and sea vegetables just might be the answer. I did not expect the changes that happened to me, this is not a placebo effect. The internal negative dialogue that I dealt with on a daily basis has simply disappeared. I have had cognitive behavioral therapy, I have taken anti-anxiety drugs and I have been anxious all my life until this past year. I know what a cure of anxiety feels like, the anxiety simply disappears. And this has now happened with  no effort on my part. You can track where my anxiety fades away by reading through this blog, because I fully believe the YouthJuice is what did it. My family has seen the change, my friends have seen the change. People I haven't seen in years have drastically seen the change. It is all here online in this blog and if you are looking to change your life, change how you feel about yourself, change your depression or your anxiety, YouthJuice just might be the answer.

MusicMonday - ♫ I'm nobody's child ♫

Sometimes when i walk on the road i see a lot of unprivileged kids roaming around here and there and i wonder why did God dispense such a life to these people known as the poor? Why is the rich getting richer and the poor even poorer... i feel really disheartened that all i can do is watch them... sometimes my heart goes out to the people who i see have no parents are they are compelled to be brought up by harsh parents but those kids are luckier than those that have No parents! This song relates to my feelings today... be ready to shed a few tears if you have a heart :-)



Happy MM all my loving readers.. have a great week ahead :-)







As I was slowly passing an orphan's home one day.

And stopped there for a moment just to watch the children play.

Alone a boy was standing and when I asked him why

he turned with eyes that could not see and he began to cry.



I'm nobody's child

I'm nobody's child

Just like a flower I'm growing wild.

No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile

nobody wants me

I'm nobody's child.



People come for children and take them for their own.

But they all seem to pass me by and I'm left here all alone.

I know they'd like to take me but when they see I'm blind

they always take some other child and I am left behind.



No mommy's arms to hold me or soothe me when I cry.

Sometimes it gets so lonely I wish that I could die.

I'd walk the streets of heaven where all the blinds can see.

And just like all the other kids there'd be a home for me.

Eid-ul-fitr significance and celebrations

Firt go here to read how i celebrated Eid 2010, the best year and Eid-ul-fitr year before last So, yet again we have arrived on Eid-ul-fitr which marks the end of Ramadan. Also known as 'breaking of the fast' when the new moon will be spotted. The festival is considered one the biggest and important festivals of the Muslims. A time to celebrate with joy the end of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting.



Eid-ul-fitr significance and celebrations :

Eid ul Fitr or the 'festival of fast breaking' is the most celebratory of all Muslim festivals. The term 'Eid' has been derived from the Arabic word 'oud', which means 'the return' and hence, signifies the return of the festival each year. The festival is significant as much for its timing, as for its religious implications. It is celebrated after the long fasting month of Ramadan (the ninth month of the Islamic calendar), on the first day of the Shawwal month of the Hijri year (Islamic calendar). Legend says that the Qur'an was revealed to Prophet Mohammed in the last ten days of Ramadan.



The month of Ramadan is historically associated with two important victories of Prophet Muhammad - the battle of Badr and the conquest of Makkah. Fasting during the month of Ramadan, according to Islamic beliefs, helps in developing self-control and is a way of getting closer to Allah. The festival of Eid ul Fitr marks the beginning of celebrations and merriment for a period extending over three days. Women prepare sweets at home and all Muslims are seen adorned with new dresses on this day. Eid ul Fitr is synonymous with joy and thanksgiving. Such is the spirit of this great festival that even a lot of Non-Muslims participate in Eid celebrations in India.



India is the second most populous Islamic nation in the world. Muslims form India's largest minority and constitute almost 12% of the country's total population. Islam is also the most recent religion added to India's already potent cultural concoction. Islam came to India in 12th century AD and began interacting with the Indian culture, particularly under the Mughal era. Needless to say, it was a mutually enriching experience. A majority of Indian Muslims reside in the north, but a significant number is found all across the country. Hence, their traditions add yet another dimension to the vast cultural landscape of India.



Quotes from the Quran:



1. He is the One GOD; the Creator, the Initiator, the Designer. To Him belong the most beautiful names. Glorifying Him is everything in the heavens and the earth. He is the Almighty, Most Wise. [59:24]



2.Those who believed and led a righteous life are the best creatures. [98:7]



3.Their reward at their Lord is the gardens of Eden with flowing streams, wherein they abide forever. GOD is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him. Such is the reward for those who reverence their Lord. [98:8]



4. O children of Adam, we have provided you with garments to cover your bodies, as well as for luxury. But the best garment is the garment of righteousness. These are some of GOD's signs, that they may take heed. [7:26]



5. Your Lord has commanded that you worship none but Him, and be kind to parents. If either or both of them reach old age with you, do not rebuke them, but speak to them in terms of honor and kindness. Treat them with humility, and say, 'My Lord! Have mercy on them, for they did care for me when I was little'. [17:23-4].

Teachers day speech for the 5th of September

Its teachers day on the 5th of September in India and my son Aryan needed a speech for the day, who and what else would i have relied on to help come to aid, except for the internet! I dont have patience to write out a speech myself and i know i would never be able to do justice to the write, and when you have the world and its knowledge on your fingers through the internet, where else should one turn to?



Its a speech for young kids, and i know a lot of parents must be searching for the same for their kids who will be celebrating the day at school with their loving teachers who have been putting great efforts into their students....



Teachers Day Speech-



Teachers Day is a dedication to Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who was a staunch believer of education and was one of the most well known diplomat, scholar, president of India and above all a teacher. As a tribute to this great teacher, his birthday has been observed as teachers' day and this led to its origin. A day that is dedicated to the hard work that is input by the teacher all year long, a day that is a complete tribute to the teachers all around India. In India teacher day is celebrated on 5th of September.

How i recovered my deleted bookmarks on chrome

I was in for a heart attack last night when i had by mistake deleted a folder which contained about 30 bookmarks, and all important ones. I was literally praying i would be able to recover the bookmarks myself when suddenly i hit upon an idea, why not Google, and found a solution on the forums. I thought i couldn't do all by myself but i succeeded! So relieved was i that i couldn't help but jump in joy :)



I decided to share with my readers because after searching for an hour i realized this was the only solution, either i was saved or dead... I am still living thankfully :)



If you have not closed Chrome more than twice, you may be in lock.



In Windows Explorer, browse to:



Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

Windows Vista: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default



You have to have Hidden Folders enabled to find these directories. Otherwise you can just substitute the above in to the address bar, and press enter.



Once there, you should see a bunch of files. Two of which are: "Bookmarks", and "Bookmarks.bak".



Rename the "Bookmarks" file to "Bookmarks.old", or something like that.

Then, rename "Bookmarks.bak" to "Bookmarks", so that the bookmarks backup file (that's what the .bak extension is for) takes the old Bookmarks file's place.



If have have closed Chrome more than twice since losing your bookmarks, they're gone forever... sadly =[



This comes to you direct from the forums :)

YJ and overall health

YouthJuice is a powerful functional food, with the highest level of anti-oxidants of any juice on the market, and the best part, it's all Canadian! I love supporting our organic farmers, and not doing weird things to the environment just to get a healthy product out to people.

Because of the anti-oxidents and the anti-inflammatories, I have had a total boost of overall heath. My skin tone and texture has improved greatly, acne cleared up, nails have grown to lengths that I haven't seen in years, moisture retention, and on and on. I am so happy to have discovered this juice!!

Scopes and Sights; Binoculars for an affordable investment

My brother was always fascinated by Binoculars even as a kid and so my parents got him a toy, made him fuss all the more because he didn't want a toy but a real one! Seemed like he was obsessed by the object and would love carrying it on his travels when he was years older and actually got himself one, a real one! It's an essential object for birdwatchers and if you invest in for scopes of high quality you are likely to enjoy the benefits the clarity would provide you with.



If you're on the search for one which you would like to carry while traveling and especially if it's an easy to carry and easy to use, light weight one, it's a good investment if you are able to get at a reasonable price. If you're looking in the market you won't possibly be provided with the details you would on the Binoculars website, which also sells the same.



If its style for you, visit barska.com. A variety of scopes you would love picking up. If you are an avid birdwatcher then a Naturescape Binoculars would fit the scope you would need. It is designed full size feature phase-coated and fully multi-coated optics with BAK-4 prisms for sharp, bright, clear high contrast views in all types of lighting and weather conditions.

NUTRITION BASICS FOR FAT LOSS – 3 VIDEOS

One of the largest barriers people have when trying to burn fat and lose weight is their Nutrition. It is not necessarily that they are not trying hard, but the lack of knowledge concerning nutrition is what usually prevents the majority of people from starting or sticking with a diet.

A big mistake I see with dieters is that they go into a diet with the intention of being overly strict on what they allow themselves to eat. The problem is that when they slip up and cheat, they see it as absolute failure and quit the entire idea. The result is a retiring back to old, bad habits.

I was no exception to this either. Healthy nutrition was my biggest struggle. I was pretty big and muscular to an extent, but I could not get the six pack abs or real defined muscles.

So after I retired (from volleyball) and changed my training from traditional weight lifting to High Intensity Interval Circuits, the fat started to peel off, but I still couldn’t get the six pack.

So I decided to concentrate more on cleaning up my diet, getting rid of all the junk and crap and learning more about proper nutrition. And you know what? It was easier than I thought.

Look I am not a certified nutritionist, but with a few years of research, working on my own nutrition for my pro Muay Thai fight, fitness modeling and becoming a nutrition guru for MMA athletes.

Add working alongside Laura Discepola from Fit to Eat Nutrition for my Spartacus Program and of course engaged to a former bodybuilder and current muay thai fighter, I have been able to somewhat master the art of nutrition for fat loss and I am still learning and evolving.

So now I want to share all my nutrition knowledge and success with you. Over the next couple of months, I will be posting 10 nutrition videos to help you with you weight and fat loss goals.

I used all the nutrition information I am going to share with you to help me with my 8 Week Spartacus Workout and Nutrition Body Transformation, plus it’s a key in my two of my up-coming projects (Spartacus Workout 2.0 Program and Nutrition for Combat Fighters).

The great thing is that it has also worked for hundreds of people. The information that I am going to share with you is not new, I did not create it, and in fact it’s simple to follow.

So if you are a male or female with a goal for weight and fat loss, sit back, grab a pen, watch, listen and take down some tips and start to implement clean healthy nutrition into your lifestyle.

Below is a 3 part series on the Nutrition Basics for Weight and Fat Loss. I have also included some notes that accompany the information in the videos, so that you don’t have to remember everything or in case you missed the important points

Fountain of YouthJuice

Ah, is YouthJuice the fountain of youth? Well, since starting using YJ I have heard constantly, "You look so young!". It's crazy. Read back to the beginning of this blog and you will see and hear about the transformation that has happened. I sell AVON, and since going on the YJ, my skin responds to the anti-aging products like never before. I have moisture in my skin, there is cushion to it. This past January, my skin was going to parchment. Sigh, sooo  happy with how I look now.

Health and Well Being in Edmonton

We have connected up on Facebook and hearing other team members stories is inspiring. Myself, anxiety cured. One lady has found her extreme low blood pressure has cleared up, she is no longer feeling lightheaded and weak. Another has Chrohn's disease and that has cleared up. She did go off the YJ for a bit and the Chrohn's flared up again. So now she's back and won't go off it again and no hospital stays since. Another lady had severe post partum depression, started using the YouthJuice and she's no longer depressed nor dealing with any negative issues that post partum can bring.

One common theme, we all had mental and physical issues that were stopping us from enjoying life fully, and now with using YouthJuice we are all healthy, feeling level and feeling good.

$1.50 per day for an ounce of YouthJuice. $1.50 a day for TRUE health and wellbeing.

MusicMonday - ♫ Céline Dion - A New Day Has Come ♫

When darkness engulfs you from all sides There is no feeling in the world than the feeling of being loved. They say love can move mountains, bring in the light even in the dark, which is so true... without love you would gain everything but the happiness of being loved and cared for. You can be loved by your kids and can feel there is nothing more in life you want but always be loved the same way. You can be loved by the man of your dreams and still feel you have the world when the world is really not yours. You can be loved by your parents despite the rough times you've had with them... in the end everything that matters is the feeling of being loved! :)





I was waiting for so long

For a miracle to come

Everyone told me to be strong

Hold on and don't shed a tear



Through the darkness and good times

I knew I'd make it through

And the world thought I'd had it all

But I was waiting for you



[Pre-CHORUS:]

Hush now I see a light in the sky

Oh it's almost blinding me

I can't believe I've been touched by an angel with love



Let the rain come down and wash away my tears

Let it fill my soul and drown my fears

Let it shatter the walls for a new sun

A new day has come



When it was dark now there's light

Where there was pain now's there's joy

Where there was weakness I found my strength

All in the eyes of a boy



Hush now I see a light in your eyes

All in the eyes of a boy



I can't believe I've been touched by an angel with love [x2]



Hush now

A new day

15th Aug- India celebrates Independence Day; history and celebrations





I'd like to wish a very Happy Independence Day, to all the Indians worldwide. Once again, the country will be rejoicing its independence since 1947. As every time, when i write a short post regarding this day, today i will be following up on its history and the celebrations. Its a day to be proud of after all. Jai Hind........ you might also want to read about my school days Independence Day celebrations



Independence day(India) flag hoisting and celebrations


The flag which was hoisted when India won its Independence in 1947 is hoisted since then and is an essential part of the ceremony which takes place in the capital of the country, Delhi, every year followed by a delivery of speech from our respected prime minister. The years achievements and the future developments are part of their speech. Along with the prime minister who will pay his tribute to the freedom fighters of our nation tomorrow, i would also like to pay my humble tribute to our great matrys and freedom fighters for it is them, that we are able to see an independent India today. Those fighters who fought and sacrificed their lives in order to save future generations from the rule of the British in India. Its a day of pride and joy in our hearts....























At the red fort, Delhi, the VIPS and its commoners, will gather together to take part in the ceremonies. The hoisting of the Indian flag, the singing of the national anthem as the flag is being hoisted, the followed by the PM's speech, and a perfect parade by officers and jawans. The main and major attraction is here.....



Its also a pleasure to watch the flag hoisting ceremonies and cultural programs which are organised in great enthusiasm in individual school premises, offices and even locally across the country. Sweets are given out, kites soar in the sky, jets color the sky with the tricolors, as part of celebrations and rejoicing. Buildings of importance are decorated. Celebrations are held by local committee members or respective members of particular schools and offices.











History of Independence day(India)




India attained freedom from the grip of British domination and rule back in the 1940's. The tryst of destiny was a speech read out by the then prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru on the stoke on midnight of 15th august 1947, to which India's Independence was declared. The struggle for Indian independence began with the colonialization of India by Europeans. They came to India as traders but over the period of time they rose to power took control of Indian affairs. British occupied most parts of India whereas Portuguese and French also had their influence on few places The first uprising which is noted in the history of independence of India took place in 1857. This first war of Indian independence, was termed as a mutiny by the British. Although not a success, this revolt sowed the seed for a new force, which was to take this struggle to its rightful end. As British oppression strengthened so did the urge to attain the freedom from it. This urge found voice in form of many great leaders such as Subhash Chandra Bose, Lala Lajpat Rai, Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, Sukhdev, Khudiram Bose, Ram Prasad Bismil,Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel to name a few. These great patriots along with a lot unnamed freedom fighters sacrificed their lives for the cause of the nation. Independence from the British rule was the sole aim of their lives. This dream of millions of Indians was realized when finally India got freedom on August 15, 1947. The joy of independence brought along with it the grief of partition! The country was divided into two parts – India and Pakistan. Pakistan assumed August 14 as its independence day whereas August 15 was declared the independence day for India.









Respect for the tricolor can be felt in every heart, every corner of the country

POWER’S BODY TRANSFORMATION STORY – THIS COULD BE YOU!

POWER’S BODY TRANSFORMATION STORY
THIS COULD BE YOU!

Power Born - Start Weight 245lbs and Current Weight 218lbs


When I got the email and before/after picture from my man Power, I was blown away at what his hard work and dedication had produced. I was also very impressed with his PIPES (biceps) and new physique.

These are the types of testimonials, pictures and feedback that keep the PASSION to share my fitness, nutrition and healthy lifestyle knowledge with you.

First I want to congratulate Power Born on his amazing body and healthy lifestyle transformation. Your hard work and success inspires and motivates me to do what more of what I do and I hope it does others as well.



Quickly, Power contacted me some months back letting me know that he was going to make the change to a healthier lifestyle and that my workouts were going play a large part in it. I told him to take BEFORE PICTURES (something you should all do when starting any type of program) – fast forward 6 months later and check out the results…and he is still going.

I love that Power used some of my workout programs (Spartacus and MMA workouts) and added his own flavour of running. It is great to personalize workout programs when you can as well.

But I digress, I took snippets of Power’s email to me, so you get an idea of his story. The best thing is that he is still going as Power has a set a GOAL with a TARGET DATE (something you should all do when starting any type of program)

Power Born - Start Weight 245lbs and Current Weight 218lbs

“Funk, I know it’s been awhile since we talked, I finally got those before and after pic's for you. I want to thank you for the bodyweight workouts; they had a heavy part in me getting to the shape that you will see.

I'm going for 200lbs by my birthday which is 10/30. The way I accomplished my goals was by keeping track of my weight every day. My diet is light during the day with a protein shake in the morning after my workout. Then I drink plenty of water during the day to help that protein through my system.

My workout has been the Spartacus workout each month for the most part on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. On Tuesday and Thursday I do your MMA workouts. In the first few, months I did 4 miles of jogging after each workout and only jogged on my non-resistance days which are Saturday and Sunday. Then in the last three months I have jogged first and then did the resistance, which shocked my body. I tend not to do 3 full rounds of the workouts, usually two rounds at the most. The 28 miles I was logging per week really helped lean me up.


The main thing people have to realize is you have to work out to keep the metabolism churning away so when you eat at night you won't be hurting you efforts.

Funk, you are definitely a large part of my motivation."

Addicted to Facebook? Fb experiences a maintenance error



Notice the image? hehe... that lonely ;)






Suddenly i felt like i was isolated from the world, probably a survivor of an avalanche, abandoned on a lonely island waiting to be hogged by savages! That's how i felt on FB last night when the apps suddenly disappeared and my contacts too. I felt a cold wind pass by me, so lonely.... my chat app was gone and my friends too! Even if there is no one leaving a comment or like, i still feel so connected just watching the updated status flowing/pouring in on my wall. I love reading and leaving a comments on my contacts walls, i know them or not. Fb is experiencing a maintenance error for some reason and i can see many sad faces out there....



Is that how addicted we 'all' are to Face book or is it just me? i guess we are all addicted, because i've seen how crippled one feels... i've felt it and i've also noticed it happening to other users. There are times food wont go down the throat or even if able to, wont be digested if Facebook is not working! literally or not, whatever you want to take it as (;)), but what i mean i bet none of us can actually stop thinking and dying (hehe) to update our status's or to comment on our friends posted status. Or even waiting to see friends online, or to get on the game app and begin our daily chores/activities on our farms and restaurants ;)



What will happen if one day we wake up to find FB is gone with the wind!!?? How would you react, i would really like to know.... :)

Rakhi Day on the 13th- Happy Raksha Bandhan brothers/sisters

Raksha Bandhan also known as Rakhi Day is around the corner in India. Its a celebration being one with the family, a celebration between brothers and sisters in the hindu custom. The sister ties a thread on her brothers wrist and the brother gifts her a token apart from a promise of security and protection. Well though i am not a hindu but i also do tie a Rakhi (a scared tread of love) on my brother to show him how much i love and care for him.



Some Raksha Bandhan messages i found on a site... maybe you would like to pick up to let your sister or brother know how much you love and care for them too?





From Sister To Brother

Sky is blue, feel this hue, my love is for you Bhaiya…always true. Loads of good wishes for Raksha Bandhan

Dear brother I am lucky to have you but. You are even luckier you have got me.

You must have a sister as she is the best companion for fun. And you can always blame her for the mischief you have done.

I can never forget the day in my life when you not only helped me in making a correct decision but also convinced Mamma and Papa in my favor. It was only you who helped me go for the training of journalism. When people say I am doing well I always remember you. You have given me most precious gift, my career, in turn of all my Rakhis.

I remember when I was young but old enough to realize the importance of Raksha Bandhan, I cried a lot on the day of Rakhi as I had none to tie a Rakhi to. I prayed before Lord Krishna for a brother and I got you on the very day of Rakhi. So thanks, you have made my Rakhi double special.

Mere bhai ka aur mera rishta... Kabhi khattaa Kabhi meethaa... Kabhi hasna Kabhi rona…Kabhi roothna Kabhi manana…Kabhi Pyaar Kabhi gussa…Kabhi dosti Kabhi jhagda…Koi kare bhi to kare kya... Ye rishta hai hi Anokhaa…

God could not take care for the whole world so he has given mothers to each family. In the same way mother could not take care for the whole part of our life, so she had given brothers. Thanks for being my brother.

From Brother To Sister

I long for the day through the year that you so ceremoniously tie rakhi on my wrist and pray for my well being. Dear Sis, I wish that our bond grows stronger everyday.

Dear sister I just wanted you to know that it means a lot to have a wonderful sister like you. Thanks for the treasure of all the sweet memories that you have given me. Having a sister is same as having a lifelong friend.

Neither can I tell nor can you imagine what you are for me. But I can tell you when I need a pillar of strength, It's you… It's you…It's you…

When the world goes dark, Stars are there…When the journey breaks up, Hope is there…When the entire world is vanished, And you feel left alone…Tilt your head and look beside you, Will bring you comfort feeling of Care and affection molds on you, As your Brother is always beside you to pour the special love and affection forever…HAPPY RAKSHA BANDHAN

I really cherish the life we have lived together. You have taught me the meaning and pleasure of sharing. In childhood I used to eat even your chocolates but you always shared your things with me. Now I realize I have been a bad brother. But I know that you love chocolates so this time only chocolates as your Rakhi gift

My blog lies awaiting a new makeover :(



Don't know how to fix some codes in my template which is causing a delay of my blog makeover. 31st of July, i gave myself a deadline.. lol.. but then i had completed the design by then, if only i didn't get stuck up for the code fix. Its days i'm trying to figure out where the culprit code is hidden in order to tweak according to the design. But in vain :( So freaking mind boggling is it trying to do something i'm not good at and never even getting next to anywhere.... i mean i'm dumb at understanding codes :(



I sent my link to one of the professional bloggers to see where the problem lies, lets see when i receive a reply so that i cant fix this soon and rid myself of the tensions and sleepless night(not literally but its a headache!). If this isn't fixed soon i wont be able to do a makeover soon until much later, for the more time wasted, the lesser the work done... i don't want my blogs to be under construction when my visitors come visiting.



Hope im done with this soon.. no wonder i was lazy to do a makeover for the last two years!

Poem- Hopeless Warrior (free flow)

Nothing seems right

Your actions speak deceit

Your words conflict

Half way, through...

I can see nothing new

Sparks of hope from a lit pyre

Seem dieing up in the air

Something unusual occurs...

Too much to endure

I see you weren̢۪t

The one i envision

Who fancys he a warrior....



A few lines from a poem i had written last year :)

MusicMonday - ♫ Enya - If I Could Be Where You Are ♫

I miss so many people who aren't present in my life at this moment and i wish i could see them again. Some are living and some are not, but thoughts if i'll ever be able to spend moments i once spent with them again keep coming to my mind and its up to the lord who i keep asking questions to, mostly why? many different thoughts in my mind when i listen to this song... i feel so lost and helpless in the absence of my loved ones whom i miss and i still cant get to see and touch... its an emotional moment for me right now...



Enjoy this slow haunting song by Enya.. wish you all a happy MM :)









Where are you this moment?

Only in my dreams.

You're missing, but you're always

A heartbeat from me.

I'm lost now without you,

I don't know where you are.

I keep watching, I keep hoping,

But time keeps us apart



Is there a way I can find you,

Is there a sign I should know,

Is there a road I could follow

To bring you back home?



Winter lies before me

Now you're so far away.

In the darkness of my dreaming

The light of you will stay



If I could be close beside you

If I could be where you are

If I could reach out and touch you

And bring you back home

Is there a way I can find you

Is there a sign I should know

Is there a road I can follow

To bring you back home to me

Youth Juice is cheaper than buying the berries yourself.

So I've changed so much that having previously spent most of my spare time on the computer, I am now out doing things all the time and barely have time to get on here!

So the biggest subject I find in people objecting to using Youth Juice, after noting how much I've changed and become so relaxed and energetic, is the price. And then they will note how many raspberries or strawberries they've consumed in the past day. I've decided breaking down and comparing the cost would be a good thing.

A bottle of Youth Juice contains seven pounds of berries and sea vegetables all pulped together. There is no water added.

40/7 = 5.71

So that's $5.71 per pound of seven different berries and three sea vegetables. Cost per ounce: $1.50.
Elderberry
Red Raspberry
Blueberry
Blackberry
Boysenberry 
Blackcurrant 
Cranberry
Kombu Fucoidan
Bladderwrack
Sea Lettuce
So if I took the above list and went to the local grocery store to pick up all these items, what are the odds of finding all of them fresh and all in one place? Where is it possible to go pick up a fresh batch of Kombu Fucoidan in Alberta?

Ok, let's go shopping anyways and see what we find:
Say I pick up a container of raspberries at $3.99 (rare, but can be found sometimes), and then get a container of blueberries, always they tend to be more expensive, so say $7.99 but will last for two days so $4 for that one day, and found some blackberries at $5. That's about $14 for just those three berries for one day. Pulp those puppies up and you've got your ounce or two of three berries only. Then say I went to find cranberries but all there was available was the dried ones (usually the case too) and those were coming in at $6 for a large bag that will last a month. Ok, got a deal there, but they aren't fresh and I'd be spending some time chewing on those. Fresh seaweed no where to be found. Neither with elderberries, boisen or blackcurrent. So I'm missing out on some major providers of purple and blue antioxidants. Also no anti-inflammatory sea veggies. So little for about $14 a day.

And yes, going out and picking the berries is way cheaper than store bought, and organic to boot, but you have to drive there and spend your time (assuming your time = $$) picking them yourself. About an hour or so to do so?

Break it down on an average daily cost:

Go buy the berries yourself: approx. $14.50
One ounce shot of Youth Juice:        $  1.50
Two ounce shot of Youth Juice:       $   3.00

Uh, I'll take the Youth Juice. Way cheaper in the long run, way less time consumer to gather and eat, it's organice, and it's 100% CANADIAN!!!!!

Considering the mental and physical benefits from YJ, why people would choose not to enhance, improve, and completely change their lives, I just don't have an answer for that.

The history, value and prices of gold

Have you heard of how gold was used in the olden days, dating back to the Egyptian times? Well we have all studied about gold being traded for gifts, etc. I sometimes wonder how valuable is a mere yellow metal, such that is it used to adorn or beautify many a things, even people. Women and men, both love flaunting this metal on themselves by wearing in the form of jewelry. This metal can never be undervalued by anything on earth. Though the price of gold in gold coins, gold bullion, or diverse forms still keep rising it is yet irreplaceable!

The gold price fixing used to take place at the offices of N M Rothschild & Sons in St Swithin's Lane twice a day but since may 2004 gold spot fixing takes place by telephone.

Gold is a great security for its users where their kids futures are concerned, it helps secure ones future in many ways like for old age, or maybe kids future education, etc. The gold prices fixing originally began by gold traders in September 1919 and are currently fixed in dollars, euros, and pounds. Did you know this? Also remember that spot gold is a term one can use to search for gold charts or current gold prices online.

Happy Friendship day ( 2011)- A friendship story


Its friendship day on the 7th of August and so i thought to post a motivational story about friends... Hope you enjoy it and Happy Friendship day everyone :)


Motivational Story Of Friendship

Two girls were best of friends, since their childhood. When they were small kids, they used to go to school together, play together and sometimes even stay at each other's places. They were next door neighbors and thus their parents were friends as well. The best friends graduated from school and went to pursue higher studies in the same college. Everyone knew that the girls were the best of friends. Nothing was hidden between the duo, because both knew each other inside out.

After some days, one of the friends found the other behaving in a very strange manner. She would remain withdrawn, sleep too much and turn violent, very often. At first, the other friend thought it was just the studies getting on to her. However, with time, she became even more moody and frustrated. Finally, her friend couldn't take it any longer and confronted her with the problem. She broke down into tears and confessed that she was going around with a guy, who was taking drugs and forced her to take them too.

The girl was not only forced to take drugs, but was also forced to bring money every now and then and was threatened with dire consequences, if she revealed the matter to anyone, even her best friend. Shocked by her story, the other friend consoled her. She then thought of a way to help her. Finally, she thought that she would come up straight to the point and tell her to leave this guy and get out of all the mess. She contacted the college counselor, who was a psychologist and narrated all the problem to her. She offered to help and said that matter would be kept under wraps.

The girl was then advised by her friend to leave this guy, as he was torturing her unnecessarily. Her friend reminded her of her dreams of becoming a successful professional, inspired her to set an example for others and reminded of what her parents would feel, if they found out what their daughter was up to. After a lot of persuasion, the girl finally agreed to leave him. She was given basic counseling and was weaned off drugs, with time. All this while, her friend never left her side and always stood by her.

Finally, they graduated and the friendship only grew stronger. They both went on to become successful professionals, but never let each other down by indulging themselves into bad habits. They lived happily ever after, as close friends. The story leaves the reader to think about the depth of friendship shared by the two girls. The moral of the story is that true friends are those, who inspire you to become the best you can ever be. They have full confidence in you. They would not leave you until your goal is accomplished.

WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT MEAL OF THE DAY?

FAT LOSS NUTRITION TIP:

The most important meal of the day for you is the “Post Workout Meal”.

After the workout, your body is in catabolism and starving for the carbohydrates and protein that it needs to recover and repair. This meal will start the recovery process quicker and keeps your fat burning metabolism going.

I am not just talking about a protein shake, although protein is important at the post workout meal, you cannot forget about the carbohydrates. Your shake or meal should have 3-5 to 1 ratio of carbs to protein. (If the shake has 20g of protein, then you should have 60-100 grams of carbs, depending if you are female or male).

You must have this shake or meal under 60 minutes, post workout for optimal fat loss! Simple Carbs and Whey protein are your great choices.

NOTE: If you work out at night, then a good Post Workout Meal in liquid form is perfect, as it is easy to digest and gives you the window to rest before you sleep. I use the Prograde Workout Formula, it was made for this purpose.

DO NOT skip this important meal. Make sure you get this meal in after your workout and watch the fat melt off your body.




Your Coach and Friend
Funk Roberts

P.S.  I just ordered two bottles of Prograde Nutrition for Angela and I, because we often train late and are not done until after 9:00pm. Prograde has the perfect carb/protein ratio for optimizing workouts and ensuring fat loss.  This meal was so important during my 8 Week Spartacus Transformation Progress
