MRSA

Do you realise that these days there are so many name of disease coming out.Did you hear of MRSA?.Most though are still confused about what exactly the MRSA infection is and how it is contracted.MRSA is an acronym that has recently became a household term.
I keep wondering why Elliot keep washing his hand every second.He insist Mishu do the same.Now I know the reason why.
MRSA occur when the bacteria cause illness to those who have not been hospitalized or had a medical procedure in the recent past.The infection usually appears on the skin in form of pimples or boils.Some people said MRSA is a superbug disease.Common signs of staph bacteria infection are red ,swollen,painful or pus areas on the skin.
I read an article about how we can protect ourself from MRSA.Practicing good hygiene is the key to stopping the spread of MRSA.The tips are :
1:To keep your hands clean by washing with soap and water for 15 seconds or using alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
2:Keep cuts and scrapes clean and covered until healed.
3:Avoid contact with other people's wounds or bandages.
4:Avoid sharing personal items,such as towel or razor.
Well,I think it won't hurt us to wash our hands frequently.As they said precaution is better than cure!!

Gym at Home,Anyone?

Summer is coming and I 'm still overweight by 40 lbs!!.Ouch!!.that a lot ,right?.Recently ,I enjoyed my vacation trip back home in Malaysia and Asia.My mom cooked plenty of my favourite food and dessert.Of course I eat like a horse and oinky!!.Beside my mom cooking we always eat in food outlet or restaurant.To make matter worst,I love to cook and bake.Look at what I have in my home that I never use.This treadmill machine and step up machine belonged to my mother in-law.She rarely use too.Now I inherited it.I think I should make use of this machine rather than paying big money in the gym which I had paid 10 years ago.
Well what do you think of this step up?.Need to put some WD 30 oil on it.

This little monster is really powerful.It's for me to get my tummy shrink!!..Don't see it as nothing ,actual fact my tummy is really painful after 20 roll out!!This little bitch is my second unit.
How about this treadmill machine?I guess the digital reading is not really good anymore ,just can use one speed for all.No more 1,2 or 3 speed.Last year, I let it out in the rain and sun for weeks on my patio to wash down the mold since it been sitting in my garage for years.
Mishu thought it's her play machine,she climb and break the cover..but well this machine still can run at one speed .I think I better get on this monster now..Beside for my body to look good,it's also good for my health overall..Let 's go and get healthy!!..

Spring and Allergy

I love Spring but hate when Spring allergy attack me!!.I think I have pollen allergy.It's happen to me in Spring time only.It's weird,for the first 5 year when I was here in US,I didn't get any allergy sytompt at all .I hear people said our immune system getting weaker everyday,so the pollen allergy attack our body when our immune system have no defence.It's true?.My home is surrounded with acorn trees and that flower (pollen) make me sneeze ,make my eyes itchy .I really can't breath or go outdoor for the first 2 weeks when Acorn flower bloom.Usually I suffer pollen allergy when the Pollen counts tend to be highest early in the morning on warm, dry and breezy days .No medication can cure my pollen allergy so far.What the doctor gave me is just some pill to make me sleepy and tired.
Well,what is the other solution for me to prevent or cure my allergy?.Any suggestion?.
