What the heck!

Almost everytime I go out to dinner or to the gym, other girls look at me with the most dirty looks. It happens to my sister too and I'm sure it happens to others. What's the point of it? They obviously don't know anything about me. I want to go up to them and put them in a choke hold to wipe their I'm better than you look off their faces. Instead I just stare back at them. What do you think about this? Leave a comment.

Defend Yourself

If you want to try getting into some self-defense, I suggest Jiu-Jitsu. It's good excercise and you'll learn how to beat your opponent. Even if you end up on the ground, you will know how to win. You will also learn to put your opponent on the ground. I went to a self-defense seminar and most the moves we used were from the Jiu-Jitsu class I have.
It is especially effective for people who are smaller. You learn to use your momentum and being small to your advantage. Technique rather than pure strength is more important.
Make sure you find a place that teaches the defense moves though. Some institutions only teach it as a sport. It is best to go to places that will let you try a class first.

Big Bad Bacteria Or Is It?

I was answering a question on yahoo answers about bacteria earlier today and it got me thinking I should post something about it. Bacteria can be bad for you, but it also can be good. We all have bacteria in our guts, which works to help us digest our food. The reality is that it is also on our skin. It is there to protect us from other harmful bacteria. You may have heard that antibacterial soap is actually not good to use, it is because the soap will wash off the bacteria on our hands that protects us from disease.

We eat bacteria everyday. It exists in all food. Some foods contain probiotics, bacteria that is good for you, which help our digestive systems. Below I have added a link to a list of probiotic foods.

Lastly, be careful what the doctor gives you. Antibiotics are meant to be used against bacteria and not viruses. Do not let a physician prescribe you an antibiotic for a common cold. Colds are caused by viruses. Doctors will give you antibiotics for things like bronchitis as well. You should try them, but keep in mind that if they don't work bronchitis is caused mostly by some sort of virus.

Shows to watch

If you don't mind reading subtitle, I reccommend the show Running Man. My sister got me watching it and it's funny as well as entertaining. The show is in Korean. It was more popular in 2010-2011 years, but it is still running.You can find all the episodes with subtitles on youtube. Unfortunately, the episodes are slightly long ranging from 1 hr to 1hr and a half. Maybe I'll post a few clips later. If you watch it, comment and tell me what you think.

uggh tests

Just took the GRE (graduate record examination) and I did ok, not great, only ok. I really hate standardized tests. They don't really reflect an accurate representation of my knowledge or I think or anyone's.

A bit of humor

Tego Leo: Why you gotta be so negative, man?

Rico Santos: I'm not negative. I'm just positive you're gonna mess it up.

What happened to phone calls

What happened to people answering their phones? Specifically I'm talking about businesses. If I call and want to do some troubleshooting for my computer, or book a flight, or any number of things, I obviously called because I want to talk to someone. If I didn't want to talk to anyone I would have tried to do whatever it may have been online. Calling is meant to be personal, not just a series of recording that ends in me likely getting nowhere.

Intro

Hello, 

For this blog I am not going to post on specific things. I will just post whatever comes to mind or stuff I find interesting. I seem to always have a lot of thoughts so I figured why not start a blog. I'll try to get some more posts, other than this intro, up on more interesting things soon.
