Feeling

I post two news during this afternoon. Before this, I was trying to figure out what am I supposed to do to fill up my time at home. Well, I have done something today, not bad.

I always feel like I cannot occupy my time usefully or meaningfully. Time passes very fast and at the end of the day, I think what I have done throughout the day... Sometimes it can be very disappointing when I found that I did nothing for the day!

Am I a pessimistic person? From what you all know about me, please tell me the answer! What kind of person is me? I am getting blurrer image of myself...

I am always pretending, as I always keep something deep in my heart. I dont share out my feelings through daily chating and I always take long time, lying on the bed, thinking, for almost hours, before I go to dreamland. I cannot sleep well at night...

Friends, tell me your views please!

Marks drop as kids fail fitness test

GETTING students to exercise more might not just address obesity issues, but also improve their grades.

A US study found physically fit students scored higher in tests than their less fit peers.

Test scores dropped more than one point for each extra minute it took middle and high school students to complete a 1600m run/walk fitness test, according to Dr William J McCarthy and colleagues at the University of California in Los Angeles.

For optimal brain function "it's good to be both aerobically fit and to have a healthy body shape", Dr McCarthy said.

Dr McCarthy's team compared physical fitness and body weight measures with scores on California's standardised maths, reading, and language tests among 749 fifth-graders, 761 seventh-graders, and 479 ninth-graders who attended schools between 2002 and 2003.

About half of the students were girls, 60 per cent were white, 26 per cent were of Hispanic ethnicity, and about 7 per cent each were African American and Asian/Pacific Islander.

Almost 32 per cent of the students were overweight and about 28 per cent were obese, the researchers reported in The Journal of Pediatrics.

The researchers estimated students' aerobic fitness according to their times on a flat track.

With a 15-minute maximum allowed time to complete the test, the boys averaged slightly less than 10 minutes, while the girls averaged a little less than 11 minutes.

Mr McCarthy's team found that nearly two-thirds of the students (65 per cent) fell below the state fitness standard for their age and gender.

Compared with these students, students who met or exceeded fitness standards had higher average test scores.

Allowing for age, social and economic status, gender, ethnicity, and body size did not significantly alter this association.

Compared with students of desirable weight, overweight and obese students also scored significantly lower on tests, the researchers found.

MY COMMENT:

Research found that fitness can ensure grade improvement.

From what everyone knew, fitness can bring health, but now fitness helps students to achieve higher score! Will it encourage more students to exercise more?

It is a healthy movement anyway, but the motivation is different now. People may think of encouraging their kids to exercise in order to place their children on a better grade. Education is now related to health.

Teenage girls cut unborn baby from Colombian mother's womb

From: NewsCore February 26, 2010 7:20AM Increase Text Size Decrease Text Size Print Email Share Add to Digg Add to del.icio.us Add to Facebook Add to Kwoff Add to Myspace Add to Newsvine What are these? Teens cut baby from mother's womb
Two months premature, but baby survives
Third person may have been present

TWO teenage girls snatched another teenager's unborn baby from her womb in a crude caesarean operation, Colombian newspaper El Tiempo reported.

The two unnamed girls, aged 14 and 16, assaulted Maria Amparo Rivera Girata, 18, in the small town of Duitama, northern Colombia, on Monday.

According to El Tiempo, the pair held a knife to Ms Girata's throat and tied her up, before cutting her uterus open and removing the infant. Ms Girata, who was seven months pregnant, was later found still conscious with severe abdomen injuries.

The two girls were arrested with the baby, who survived the ordeal, soon after.

The 16-year-old suspect reportedly miscarried during a previous pregnancy and plotted to steal Ms Girata's infant to replace her own, in order to stop her boyfriend finding out.

Ernesto Giraldo, head of Boyaca hospital's intensive care unit, told El Tiempo that it was possible a third person with knowledge of caesarean surgery was present.

"It's remarkable that these two girls could have conducted this surgery without injuring other organs close to the uterus," he said.

"All the more if you bear in mind that the victim was supposedly awake and struggling, trying to prevent them from removing her child."

Ms Girata was in a critical condition overnight in hospital and her two month premature baby boy is said to be recovering satisfactorily in an incubator.

My comment:

Unbelievable!

Teenagers nowadays do such thing!

Pity the victim. She is awake while the cruel surgery is being carried out by only two little girls!

Well, a third person may guide them throughout the process. How dare the teenagers are! What would be the society's reaction towards the two little girls? Unforgiveness? A second chance? They are still 14 and 16 years old...

Well, what cause this incident to happen?

I guess there is a lack of parental guidance and a lack of LOVE. Peer pressure leads to the problem as well. The only way the teenagers thought of is to get other's baby to replace hers. There are other ways to solve the problem faced, but may be they weren't dare to bring this topic to their parents, plus the pressure given by the guy, they end up making this mistake.

MISCARRY-is to give birth to a baby before it is fully developed and able to live. The girl lose her baby, thus she was struggle to get her baby back. She made a wrong decision, but what had contributed to her fault?!

What is your opinion?

Release

That is the word i can think of to decribe my feeling now. After going through the hardship, I feel more relax and release now~~~

NO more crying, no more hate... i know that I cant hate myself... i have to do my best tomorrow afterall...no matter what kind of result is awarded from my hardwork, I have put my best effort and that is enough for me. Because I have already do my part!!!^^

Dont worry guys, i know u love me and I love u all too... I will stay strong always and be a good girl. I am not so easily pushed down by pressure! I got the way to cope with it, and I laugh a lot just now, and all the pressure gone, at least for tonight, making me happier^^

I still got many challenges waiting for me, and I will strike them down and go through it. With your support, I believe I CAN DO IT!!!

I CAN DO IT!!!

Actually I face many ups and downs frequently, and I have no idea to cope with it...that's why I cant get back to myself. My friends said that I have changed a lot. Ya, I do agree with it. Without me notice, I changed and i am changing. Something good plus something bad, i do always wish that i can improve myself in terms of relationships, EQ and IQ. EQ is the most difficult task for me, for I lost control sometimes. It is really bad and it hurts many. To think before I act or before say out something that may hurt others is always my goal. BUt i am the kind of stupid because I hurt others always without me realise... sorry... it makes me guilty. And I am a coward person too...everything can be linked up to make me hate myself.

BUT

IMPOSSIBLE IS I-M-POSSIBLE

Everything is possible to change. There is always room for improvement. Just believe in ourselves and move towards our goals, so that satisfaction is achieved, people are happy.

Enough for today, bye^^ see u soon....

hate................

hate..........

do u understand my feeling? Oh.................

I have already neglected my blog and facebook as well as msn for a very long time because I have too much tests, quizzes and assignments to do before CNy. Now, I get released because all of the tasks have been finished by yesterday. What a Great day I have passed through!!!

I celebrated Friend's birthday yesterday night together with a huge group of Inti's friends. We played around at the dining hall, and therefore we were scolded by Mr. Guard..haha...However, we did clean up the floor and clear off the stuff after the *game*. It was fun and enjoyable. But we stayed there for almost 3 hours!~ The reason behind was we were actually gambling last night. Hmn....illegal night o.O

I got some surprises on yesterday night too as I received some special present yesterday...but I was not allowed to open it until I get the instructions...too bad...I need to wait but it will increases my curiosity even more! hehe....but I will obey the rule, so I will not going to open it before I receive any instruction...see, I am a good follower...haha^^

Well, I am going back home today to celebrate CNY...Yeay!!!^^

I have already waiting for it for a long long time. It finally comes...haha...

Almost all my friends go back earlier than me >.< but nevermine...I will be back also wat...somebody told me that I need to be more independent...so, It is actually a good opportunity for me to learn up!

I havent pack up all my stuff; I will be doing it later but i am so so tired because I slept only 3 hours yesterday...tired...

Okaylah...I need to leave now...bye bye...see you^^

*Negative Externalities of Consumption*- Government's stategy may not work?

Raising drinking age to 21 'unworkable'

From: AAP February 09, 2010 5:04PM

A SUGGESTION by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd that the legal drinking age be raised to 21 may not be workable, Queensland Premier Anna Bligh says.

Mr Rudd said last night that he would personally like to see the legal drinking age lifted to 21, after linking high rates of P-plater road deaths to alcohol consumption.

Ms Bligh said she recognised binge drinking was an increasing problem that put young people and others in harm's way and understood where Mr Rudd was coming from.

But she did not fully support the move.

"On this issue I probably fall on the side of the argument that says the horse may well have bolted," she said.

"And whether you can turn the clock back I think is a pretty difficult question.

"... I'm not sure that it's entirely workable."

She said she welcomed a discussion on the drinking age but said the issue went to what age a child became an adult.

Eighteen-year-olds could vote to change government, get married, have children, enter into legally-binding contracts and were treated as adults by the justice system, Ms Bligh said.

"We're really asking the question about when does a young person become an adult and the answer to that has a lot of repercussions way beyond the legal drinking age," Ms Bligh said.

She said most young Australians learned how to drink responsibly very quickly, although some did not.

Ms Bligh said she expected some discussion on the topic at upcoming Council of Australian Governments (COAG) meetings as any move to change the drinking age would need to be a national one.

My comments:

I think setting a limit over a drinking age may not work in the way government wish to see. It plays around human's control on whether they can control themselves to not overconsume alcohol. It depends largely on people's responsiveness and maturity. Once people undestand that how serious the negative impacts that alcohol can bring in, they will stop or drink responsibly. So, it varies in every country because people in different country reach maturity in different age level. Anyway, consuming of alcohol really leads to many negative outcomes, so teenagers should not simply try it under curiosity. Society need to be more alert!

Chinese New Year!!!

I am having quiz and test this week. However, I am going back home two more days later^^ Yay^^ I am so happy to have that day, where everybody is so excited and happy because we will have done all the quizzes and tests by that day. It is going to be such a wonderful Thursday, I guess. Instead, it is not Thursday we enjoy the most, but probably Wednesday, after we complete our Economic's test by 7.20pm.

Anyhow, I have just finish my Accounting's quiz paper in class now. Hmn....It got me a lttle confused and nervous because the question asked were confusing me. Hey, I hate the question! But, the quiz had past. No point for me to continually blame on the paper...[sorry ya miss natasya]....hehe

I managed to get my balance sheet balanced up, so it is still alright. But I was not too sure that whether my answer is correct or not because many of my friends got different answer from mine...anyway, I have try my best...hope that I wouldn't get too low marks...haha^^

Oh ya...talking back about Chinese New Year...On Wednesday itself, we plan to have a gambling night with friends. It is going to be an exciting and interesting night!!! Yeah!!! Although we will be having 8am class on the next morning, nobody is going to care for it....hehe...so bad right? It is the last night at Inti before everybody going back ma, so we have to enjoy to the fullest!!!^^

I bought quite a number of new clothes this year at SungeiWangPlaza. I went with my friends last Friday, starightaway after class at 12pm. I got a pair of new shoe as well; it is Rom style...cool... O.O

Counting back, I spent quite a number of money on shopping too...oo...But I like all the new clothes that I have, so...it doesn't matter. What I can say about my new clothes is that it is a totally new style for me this year...hehe...I will show it to you if there is a chance^^

Alright, that's all for today la so far. I still got Eco' test tomorrow, so I got to pick up my books to study now....tired+sleepy....but I have to go through it anyway...bye bye...see you later in the next post^^ hopefully I can have it come as soon as possible^^
