Today, I would like to share about one of my favourite graphic novel namely Fruits Basket. It has been my top 3 best graphic novel since the expansion of the story is wide and have a good climax in each chapter.

A normal highschool girl named Tooru Honda, whose parents are passed away lived out in a tent at a nearby forest. Only then she found out the forest belonged to the Souma Clan, in which her classmate, Souma Yuki was her classmate. Yuki agreed to let her stay in his house with his male cousin as a housekeeper in return of the rented room. Later, she discovered whenever the opposite gender hugs each other, the 12 cursed Chinese Zodiac Souma family members would eventually change into the 12 animals.

Snake, Mouse, Cow, Tiger, Sheep, Ox, Boar, Monkey, Rabbit, Dog, Horse and Dragon are the 12 lunar calendar animals, but there is also an addition, a cat. Live in the Souma household gets worse when the Head Family of Souma found out that a normal human being is living in the Souma's property since he would be furious if the secret leaks out.

As the story goes on, Tooru Honda managed to break the curse from each and every family members of Souma household. The moral of the story I get from this story is doing your best in whatever the condition leads you and also thinking positively in every event that occured in life.

Salam… Hello everybody. Now, we have to comment for February entry. Today, I have so many classes and also work to finished by this week. What a tired week for me. Uwm… Last time I have comment about broccoli. But, today I will comment about my second favorite vegetable. Cabbage?? What is cabbage? Cabbage is a leafy garden plant of the family Brassicaceae or Cruciferae. It is used as vegetable. Cabbage also known as herbaceous, biennial, dicotyledonous flowering plant that was distinguished by a short stem upon which is crowded a mass of leaves. Usually we can see that leaves in a green but in some varities of cabbages are red or purplish. Cabbage is rich in vitamin C. it also contains significant amounts of glutamine and amino acid that has anti-inflammatory properties. In Europe, cabbage leaves is used to treat acute inflammation. A paste of raw cabbage may be placed in a cabbage leaf and wrapped around the affected area to relief the pain. Some claim also is effective in relieving painfully engorged breasts in breastfeeding women. I think that’s all that I can share with you all. Cabbage is very delicious when you cooked it in a soup.

Boyfriend...??What you know about meaning of boyfriend..??Boyfriend is a person's regular male companion in a romantic or sexual relationship,while the term "boy friend" (note the space) can refer to a male non-romantic and non-sexual friend.The term is most commonly used to describe any male person who is in a romantic relationship with another person.Partners in such non-marital relationships are also sometimes described as a significant other, life partner or simply partner, especially if the individuals are cohabitating. At times, since "boyfriend" and "partner" mean different things to different people, the distinctions between the terms are subjective, and which term is used in a relationship will ultimately be determined by personal preference.When used by a boy or man about another male in a non-sexual, non-romantic context, especially when it's a friendship between a girl and a boy, they use the term "guy friend" so it would avoid confusion with the sexual or romantic meaning.So,you a as girl must to know be detail about boyfriend.

How to boost your social life??Here are some tips that I can share ith all of you.I've read about this article today,and hopefully can gives some benefits to you,I guess..
1)Stay motivated -Arrange to meet friends straight from work/college rather than going home first.It's too tempting to hibernate once you're in!
2)Explore your interests - Watching TV and feeling sorry for yourself don't count as hobby contenders, and everyone has something they'd like to do if only they could be bothered.Whether it's rock climbing,speaking Spanish, you'll find courses and clubs in your area (see your local paper, or adult education centre for more details).You'll automatically have a common interest with the people you meet.
3)Self esteem -A lack of confidence in yourself can sap your social life. It can leave you reluctant to meet new people or confide in people you know because you're worried about how they'll react. The way forward is to identify one thing about yourself that others like and admire, and build on it.

So many of use ohhh and ahh over new cameras and lenses but how many of us take the time to think about our camera bags? Our camera bags protect our cameras from a world of hard falls and scratches. They also make it possible for us to easily carry our ever-increasing stash of photo equipment with us. Camera bags are becoming more and more specialized with models ranging from just large enough for one camera with lens attached to trail friendly models to bags that would do Mary Poppins proud. Next time you consider buying a new camera bag, take a moment to give it some thought. The bag you buy will carry a lot of expensive equipment, it needs to be a reliable bag that meets your needs.

this is my first entry for february..like i promised before, i'm going to tell you about the symptoms of cataract, which is a disease occur in the eyes..

Cataracts can affect your vision...you may have cloudy, fuzzy, or foggy vision...you may see glare from lamps or the sun...you may have trouble driving at night because of glare from car headlights...you may need frequent changes to your eyeglasses prescription...you may get double vision in one eye...your near vision may improve for a short time if you get a cataract. This temporary improvement is called second sight but sometimes cataracts do not cause vision problems...

your doctor can find out if you have cataracts by doing a physical exam and by asking questions about your symptoms and past health...you may need other tests to make sure you have a cataract or to rule out other conditions that may be causing vision problems...

in the next blog, i will tell you on how to prevent cataracts...take care!!!

The 20 best and worst power dressers:

Best:

1. Marie Antoinette - Any woman who can make pastels powerful remains an icon. Her big hair and enormous dresses added extra oomph.

2. Diana Princess of Wales post divorce - Look what you are missing done to perfection.

3. Isadora Duncan - Power dressing isn't always about big shoulders, it can be about a new attitude. Duncan bucked the corseted trend in her floaty chiffon's.

4. Christian Dior’s New Look - A new world needed a new look and Dior knew how to empower post-war women. Goodbye Make do and Mend.

5. The bob - How can a hair cut that has such brilliantly blunt edges and frames the face with such conviction not have power?

6. Marlene Dietrich’s trousers - Another power maverick, Dietrich did not let contemporary pressures about women wearing dresses stand in the way of her sartorial ambitions.

7. The Sixties beehive - While men were constricted in tight trousers women flounced around in massive back-combed hair do is. Sometimes, height = power.

8. Bianca Jagger’s wedding suit - Taking a risk on your wedding day - and looking totally fab in the process - is the ultimate power dressing.

9. The Hermes Birkin - Add this to any outfit and feel instantly more authoritative and pulled together. Shame about the price tag.

10. The Chanel boucle suit - The bobbly fabric gives this suit the kind of edge dreams are made of. It is still inspiring designers (most recently Luella) today.

11. Lady Gaga - This woman does not let the weather stand in the way of her skimpy, latex orientated style. And for this, she must be applauded.

12. Isabella Blow’s hats - Wearing a UFO on your head requires immense confidence. Her power comes from not giving a damn and having fun with her accessories.

I had read news with a topic 83 years after teen disappear, the police reopen the case. This case happens in London. This teenage girl named Emma Alice Smith disappeared in 1926. On that time, she is just a 16 years old girl. She disappeared while cycling between her home and a nearby railway station. Her disappearance had become a mysterious and her body has remained missing ever since. The police had asked her family to solve this case. The teenager’s great nephew said that he had at last told police about the existence of which had long been their family secret. He said that there was a man whose identity has not been revealed claimed responsibility for the teenager’s death, but the confession was never made public in 1950s. He knows this confession from his mother while his mother was told by Emma Alice’s sister who died in 1995. After I read this news, I hope that police can solve this case so that the disappearance of Emma Alice won’t become a mysterious anymore. Besides that, I think that all girls should take alert that take care of your own safety. Please don’t make everyone who loves you especially your family worries about you.

Writing can help you to lose weight, reduce stress and take control of your health. Researchers discovered that keeping a journal can reduce pain, help with weight lose and even ease serious stress. This is because writing can produce changes in immune or hormone responses to stress and improve relationships and our capacity to cope with stress.

Keeping a detailed food diary has been shown to help people lose weight. Researchers with US Women’s Health Initiative found that food diaries helped create awareness about kilojoules consumption and fat intake. Therefore, it is easier to make changes when you know how much you are eating.

At Temple University, women who wrote about traumatic experiences such as serious car accident reported fewer headaches, sleeping problems and depressive symptoms than those who did not.

In a 2002 study at Ben-Gurion University, people who wrote about a stressful event made fewer visits to health clinics over the next 15 months.

Besides that, when cancer patients who lacked family support wrote about their illness for 20 minutes a day, they reported less stress for up to six months.

So, take your pen and start writing now!

Hello! For this entry I will share about friendship. Friendship is a term used to denote Co-operative and supportive behavior between two or more people. Friends will welcome each other's company and exhibit loyalty towards each other, often to the point of altruism. Their tastes will usually be similar and may converge, and they will share enjoyable activities. They will also engage in mutually helping behavior, such as exchange of advice and the sharing of hardship. A friend is someone who may often demonstrate reciprocating and reflective behaviors.
Yet for many, friendship is nothing more than the trust that someone or something will not harm them.

Assalamualaikum…and hi!!! Do you feel stress? Start with these simple tress-relieving. First, eat more complex carbs. Serotonin which have calming effect, can be boosted by eating carbohydrates. The best forms are complex carbohydrates from wholemeal foods, fruits and vegetables with low Glycemic Index (GI). Secondly, drink less coffee and alcohol. Though we often turn to coffee and alcohol when under pressure, they can actually worsen anxiety. Caffein blocks receptors in your brain normally occupied by the feel-good chemical, adenosine. Alcohol when consumed regularly, reduces the effectiveness of the brain’ج neurotransmitter GABA, resulting in increased stress. Lastly, get a regular massage. Pain can contributes significantly to your stress levels. If you suffer from regular physical discomfort such as stiff shoulders and aching legs, a regular massage will aid in releasing tension and promote better blood flow. A massage also relaxes the nervous system and helps promote better sleep. Hope this kind of tips will help you all in manage your stress!

Hi everyone,
Do u know either you old already or not?.Do u know your body ages is depends on your family genetic pattern of aging? However, your lifestyle choices have a more powerful impact on how well your body ages. Fortunately, you can control your lifestyle choices. In this comment I want to share with u what have I read about the normal signs of aging. With age, your skin becomes less elastic and more lined and wrinkled; fingernail growth also slows. The oil glands gradually produce less oil, making the skin drier than before. You can slow skin aging by using moisturizer and protecting the skin from the sun with sunscreen and sun-protective clothing. Besides, your hair to gradually thin on the scalp, pubic area, and armpits. As hair pigment cells decline in number, gray hair growth increases. Over time, changes in the ear make high-frequency sounds harder to hear and changes in tone and speech less clear. These changes tend to accelerate after age 55. Moreover, for your vision most people in their 40s develop a need for reading glasses as the lens becomes less flexible. For your bones. Throughout adulthood, bones gradually lose some of their mineral content, becoming less dense and strong.

Hi…
Holiday?? Island??? For the first entry for this month, I like to share about the most beauty island in Malaysia which is state in Pahang, it is Tioman Island. Tioman Island (locally known as Pulau Tioman) is a small island located 32 km off the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia in the state of Pahang, and is some 39 km long and 12 km wide. It has eight main villages, the largest and most populous being Kampung Tekek in the north. The densely forested island is sparsely inhabited, and is surrounded by numerous coral reefs, making it a popular scuba diving spot. There are also a lot of resorts and chalets around the island. Apart from its diverse marine life, the inland rainforest area, encompassing approximately 12,383 hectares, in Tioman is a strictly enforced nature reserve. There are several protected species of mammals on the island, including the Binturong, Long-tailed Macaque, Slow Loris, Black Giant Squirrel, Red Giant Flying Squirrel, Mouse deer, Brush-tailed Porcupine, and Common Palm Civet, from a total of 45 species of mammals and 138 species of birds, including the majestic Frigatebird. Moreover, Tioman has species that are endemic to its shores. The soft-shelled turtle and the Tioman walking catfish are both unique and can be seen on rainforest walks.

Tioman island also has it’s own legend. According to legend, Tioman Island is the resting place of a beautiful dragon princess. Whilst flying from China to visit her prince in Singapore, this beautiful maiden stopped to seek solace in the crystal-clear waters of the South China Sea. Enraptured by the charms of the place, she decided to discontinue her journey. By taking the form of an island, she pledged to offer shelter and comfort to passing travelers.

Ice wine
You know what is the use of grapes that have been frozen while still on the wine? It is use for making ice wine.
My uncle introduce ice wine to me and I fall in love with it. I just can drink it once a year that is when Chinese New Year.
My uncle tell me about the history of ice wine,how it is make and how to drink a cup of ice wine.
Natural ice wines require a hard freeze or colder, to occur sometime after the grapes are ripe, which means that the grapes may hang on the vine for several months following the normal harvest. If a freeze does not come quickly enough, the grapes may rot and the crop will be lost. If the freeze is too severe, no juice can be extracted.
The sugars and other dissolved solids do not freeze, but the water does, allowing a more concentrated grape must to be pressed from the frozen grapes, resulting in a smaller amount of more concentrated, very sweet wine. With ice wines, the freezing happens before the fermentation, not afterwards.
Only healthy grapes keep in good shape until the opportunity arises for an ice wine harvest, which in extreme cases can occur after the New Year, on a northern hemisphere calendar. This gives ice wine its characteristic refreshing sweetness balanced by high acidity.
The longer the harvest is delayed, the more fruit will be lost to wild animals and dropped fruit. Since the fruit must be pressed while it is still frozen, pickers often must work at night or very early in the morning, harvesting the grapes within a few hours, while cellar workers must work in unheated spaces.
Due to the labour-intense and risky production process resulting in relatively small amounts of wine, ice wines are generally quite expensive.

Yesterday,the whole UMP got shocked when there is no water source. This situation happended at the afternoon and this thing caused all student realize how important water as the basic needed is. Here,I come along with some facts about water.
Why we need Water??????
-The human body is composed of approximately 70% water. Water is contained in the cells of the body (intracellular fluid), in the arteries and veins (blood plasma), and in the spaces between the blood vessels and cells (Interstitial fluid).
-Water is required for the distribution of nutrients, electrolytes, hormones, and other chemical messengers throughout the body, as well as the removal of waste products. Water is involved in cellular energy production and the maintenance of body temperature.
-Water acts as a solvent for the vitamins and minerals we need everyday for our cells to do their jobs.
-Therefore, replacing the water that is continually being lost is very important.. While the body can survive without food for about five weeks, the body cannot survive without water for longer than five days.
-If you’re only producing small quantities of dark, concentrated urine, you’re not drinking enough. (To ensure a good night’s sleep, try cutting back on fluids two or three hours before bedtime.)

so girls,don't wasting the water.

It was like a look saying "I can't run, I'm weak and sore, put me out of my misery,"" Tree told Reuters."I yelled out for some water and I sat down with her and tipped the water up. It was in my hand and she reached for the bottle then put her right claw into my left hand which was cold so it must have given her some pain relief and she just left it there. It was just amazing."

Hi everybody..today i would like to share with all my friends about fashion.what do you know abou fashion?Fashion refers to the styles and customs prevalent at a given time. In its most common usage, "fashion" exemplifies the appearances of clothing, but the term encompasses more. Many fashions are popular in many cultures at any given time. Important is the idea that the course of design and fashion will change more rapidly than the culture as a whole.The terms "fashionable" and "unfashionable" were employed to describe whether someone or something fits in with the current or even not so current, popular mode of expression. The term "fashion" is frequently used in a positive sense, as a synonym for glamour, beauty and style. In this sense, fashions are a sort of communal art, through which a culture examines its notions of beauty and goodness. The term "fashion" is also sometimes used in a negative sense, as a synonym for fads and trends, and materialism. A number of cities are recognized as global fashion centers and are recognized for their fashion weeks, where designers exhibit their new clothing collections to audiences.
