Drinking Water can be made Refreshing & fun!


Share/Bookmark
Wondering how to serve your guest with plain drinking water? Drinking water can be fun & relaxing. Drink plenty of water. It’s the healthiest and most natural appetite suppressant and metabolism booster. Drinking a lot alleviates water retention and fat-trapping waste. Not so fond of water? To make water tastier, there are several ways. If you've clean drinking water coming straight from the taps, make the most out of it. Try these fuss-free ways for a refreshing thirst quencher.



Keep it Cool:
Using a potato peeler, peel long, thin strips of cucumber and add them to a jug of water. This gives the water a hint of cucumber's naturally clean and fresh flavour. To extract maximum flavour from cucumber, add the peel to hot water.

Tangy Touch:
We all know how a squeeze of lemon can turn plain water deliciously tangy, but why stop at just lemons? Other citrus fruits, such as lime, orange and even grapefruit can also be used. You can even try a mix of different citrus fruits.

Muddle Me Up:
If making fresh juices at home is too much of a hassle, try 'muddling' soft fruits in a glass. In a glass already filled two-thirds with water, add fruits such as raspberries, blueberries, strawberries or even kiwi fruits. Mash up the fruits with a long-stemmed spoon or fork. Adding a sprig of mint will result in an extra-refreshing flavour. Leftover fruit muddles can also be frozen to become delicious icicles -- they make light, healthful alternatives to ice-cream !

Minty Fresh:
Place a leaf of mint in each square of water in your ice tray and soon you will have ice cubes that not only look pretty, but also add a minty fresh flavour to that glass of water on a hot day. You can also use other aromatic herbs such as rosemary or parsley.

Have fun drinking water with your guests!! :)
Remember: Aim to drink half your weight in ounces of water per day and more on hot days.

Airline safety Dance by Cebu Pacific


Share/Bookmark

This In-flight safety dance video routine has been a hit. A week after their viral in-flight safety dance routine by pretty flight stewardesses which created a huge buzz online ( a staggering 6.5 million views since it was posted on YouTube last week), this time their second routine would of course be the male-flight attendants.

The impact though, to me the second video just isn't the same as the first. Perhaps it's because it's no longer fresh, or perhaps I prefer to watch the girls.

Soyjoy: Much Effort! Little Effort!


Share/Bookmark
Remember Soyjoy? With their hard to forget commercials and tagline "Much Effort!" "Little Effort!" I still keep laughing especially when I see this commercial below. Look at the expression of the office lady...it's so hilarious to watch, but yet it is able to clearly convey it's message.(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzA2dxCgPYk&feature=related is sound effects is louder but I'm unable to embed it due to the user disabling it)

I like how the message is conveyed, all in just 30secs!


Of course there are also parody or home made versions of it.

How are you slimming down?....with much effort or little effort?
