How To: Make your Favorite Lemonade for your Crush

 

Lemonade, that classic summer quencher, is easily made from scratch. The best version combines a simple sugar syrup or sugar powder and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Makes 2 serving for you and your lover ♥ 

 

 

 Making your sugar syrup: 

• Combine the sugar and 1 cup of water in a saucepan and heat to boiling. Remove from heat, stir to dissolve sugar completely and allow to cool. (You'll only use a couple of tablespoons per serving-but this is a good item to make ahead and store in the refrigerator, covered. It keeps for almost 2-3weeks.)

• For each serving, combine the juice of half a lemon, 2 tbsp. of sugar syrup and 8-10 oz. cold water in a tall glass. You can add more sugar syrup if you want.

• Add ice and sprigs of mint. Serve immediately.

   

  Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 large lemon
  • 16-20 oz. cold water
  • mint springs

A Tasty Morning Simple Delicious Food

My Mama make a simple delicious noodle food! 

 

You know I'm a skinny boy coz I'm 18, but I don't want to be skinny all of my life! so I always ate a lot of food. Since January I started practicing vegetarian diet (so i don't have a chance to gain weight anymore?). 

Some of my friends were skinny too when they were not yet a vegetarian. But wait! My father and my brothers were not a vegetarian, just a change of diet :) I want to be healthier because every month I'm getting sick. 

So, let's go to our food we ate this morning :) a spicy noodles.

 

   I can't read the product name of the noodles because I do not know how to read Chinese language. :) 

To make it healthier, my Mama put some cabbage and potatoes in it. And I love potatoes because it has proteins. Potato - Grown underground and used for hundreds of healthy recipes. A great source of complex carbohydrates, fiber and Vitamin C.

Potatoes contain many of the essential nutrients recommended for a healthy daily diet. A medium sized Potato contains approximately 110 calories, no fat, Vitamin C, Potassium and Fiber and is a super source of complex carbohydrates which will help fuel your body and brain through out the day.
A Potato eaten with the skin left on provides 45% of the recommended daily value of Vitamin C, Fibre and more Potassium than a normal sized banana.

How Much Protein Is In Potatoes? 2.1g (wow!)

That's why i love eating potatoes, oops! but not french fries in McDonald. I heard something wrong with their meals so I stop buying from them.

I really miss my high school life cutting cut classes, hang-out with friends; a happy high school experience but it's not what my father thinking of me coz I'm a good boy. :D

And I want to share a lot of photos here. :)
I'm not good in speaking English but I try to communicate with you. :D

How To: Choose a Digital Camera

 

Digital cameras cost more than regular cameras, but they offer the convenience of immediate viewing, multiple-image storage and computer connectivity-and there's no film to develop.

Steps

1. Buy the camera with the highest resolution you can afford, at least 10-14 megapixels, if possible.

2. Look for a 100% glass lens as opposed to a plastic one.

3. Buy a camera with as much RAM as you can afford. More RAM means camera can store more pictures, so you won't need to download or erase them as often.

4. Expect zoom to be the feature you will use most. Compare optical, as opposed to digital, zoom capabilities.

5. Compare flash modes, if any.

6. Investigate viewfinders: Look for an optical (through-the-lens) viewfinder as well as an LCD display.

7. Consider autofocus and macro features, shutter-release lag times, and bundled software.

8. Compare additional features you might want: interchangeable lenses, steady shot, burst mode, auto exposure, automatic white balance, voice memo, variable shutter speeds, manual focus and self-timer.

9. Compare removable media of various types (if you need more storage space for your photos).

10.Investigate batteries, chargers and battery-saving features.

11. Look for additional features you might need, such as USB or IEEE (FireWire) connectivity, a battery-time-remaining indicator, an AC adapter or video-out connections for outputting to a television.

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

How To: Become a Photographer

 

To be successful in this satisfying career, you need an artistic eye, technical skills, a knack for marketing yourself and a passion for your work.

 Steps

1. Take pictures for your high school yearbook or student newspaper after you have taken a workshop in the basics. You will get an idea of how deep your passion is for the medium.

2. Decide which type of photography-such as news, advertising or fine art photography - best suits your interests and talents.

3. Understand that four-year college degree is increasingly necessary if you want to be a photojournalist or a photographic specialist in medicine or other sciences. The contacts you make and the experience you receive from required college internships will be invaluable.

4. Develop an outstanding portfolio. Include excellent photographs you have taken on your own-in particular, those focusing on a given theme.

5. Be willing to work as a photographer's assistant once you have some experience. You are not going to competing with experienced photographers for a while.

6. Realize that more than 50% of photographers work on a freelance basis. Many magazines and organizations that use photographers do not keep them on staff.

7. Attend workshops and seminars to remain up-to-date on technical advances in photography.

Tips

Use the best camera equipment you can afford.

Take a business and public relations classes if you eventually want to set up your own studio.

Ask a studio photographer for an internship if you are not enrolled in a college. But realize that if internships are available, photography students in college may be your competition.

Consider using stock photo agencies to sell your photos. They are listed in the annual PHOTOGRAPHER'S MARKET.

5. Check out search engines, as these also feature classified sections. Browse according to your location and interests.

Best Daily Attitude and Success Quotations

Quotation

Go to Daily Quotes Page or Click here

   

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about quoting text. For information about the punctuation mark, see Quotation mark. For the non-English usage, see Quotation mark, non-English usage. For market data relating to a security or commodity, see Financial quote. For the price of a service, see Sales quote.

For the Wikipedia policy on quoting, see Wikipedia's Manual of Style. For the Wikipedia essay, see Wikipedia:Quotations.

A quotation is the repetition of one expression as part of another one, particularly when the quoted expression is well-known or explicitly attributed by citation to its original source, and it is indicated by (punctuated with) quotation marks.
A quotation can also refer to the repeated use of units of any other form of expression, especially parts of artistic works: elements of a painting, scenes from a movie or sections from a musical composition.

Reasons for using quotations

Quotations are used for a variety of reasons: to illuminate the meaning or to support the arguments of the work in which it is being quoted, to provide direct information about the work being quoted (whether in order to discuss it, positively or negatively), to pay homage to the original work or author, to make the user of the quotation seem well-read, and/or to comply with copyright law. Quotations are also commonly printed as a means of inspiration and to invoke philosophical thoughts from the reader.

Quotations and the Internet

Chiefly a text medium in the beginning, the World Wide Web gave rise to any number of personal quotation collections that continue to flourish, even though very few of them seem to facilitate accurate information or correct citation. On June 27, 2003, a sister project of the Wikimedia Foundation called Wikiquote was created as a free online encyclopedia of quotations in every language and it is now the biggest single quotation collection in the world.^{[citation needed]}


The increase of written means of informal communication brought about by the Internet has produced the practice of using quotations as personal flags, as in one's own signature block. This is most commonly seen in email messages and Usenet posts, while it is almost never seen in blog posts. Quotations are also popular as a user's personal message, a line under the user's nickname in some Instant Messaging clients (and here they often go uncited). In all these cases, quotations are usually included to give a glimpse of the user's personality, to make a statement of their beliefs, or to spread views and ideas.


The sheer bulk of online quotations, combined with more efficient search engines, has effectively made the Internet the world's quotation storehouse, encompassing an unprecedented number of easily obtainable quotations. Though matters of accuracy still remain, features such as Amazon.com's Search Inside the Book and Google Book Search may serve to alleviate such concerns.

A Unique Legacy of Play

Written by  Anvaya Blog 

MORONG, Bataan, The Philippines (07 December 2013) — Philippine real estate giant Ayala Land has unveiled Anvaya Cove Golf & Sports Club, the group’s first attempt at high-end, seaside golf development. The 7030-yard course, designed by Golfplan partner Kevin Ramsey, opened for play on Dec. 7, and the initial reaction from members, international media and course raters was straightforward and uniform: Wow.

Perched on the West Philippine Sea, 2.5 hours from downtown Manila, the course routing at Anvaya Cove Golf & Sports Club runs the gamut of pulse-quickening golf environments. Several holes play directly alongside the beach, while others occupy bluffs some 30 meters above the surf. Several more cut daring paths through thick, tropical jungle, while the remaining play along ridges some 100 meters above sea level.

“With that sort of elevation change, there are only a few holes that don’t have an ocean view, but it’s always a thrill to deploy salt water as a legitimate hazard, and we did that multiple times out here at Anvaya Cove,” said Ramsey, whose California-based firm has, since its founding in 1972, designed more than 200 courses in 75 different countries — including The Club at Nine Bridges, in South Korea, one of only two modern Asian courses ranked on GOLF Magazine's World Top 100.

“We believe Anvaya Cove to be in this class,” Ramsey continued. “Truly great golf courses can exist in a single environment, but I prefer those that play through a diversity of environments. The terrain here — the elevation change, the vegetation and Ayala Land Premier’s overall land-planning acumen — allowed us to create an uninterrupted string of really strong golf holes that play through five distinct environments, never repeat themselves, and never fail to elicit a strong emotional response.”

Such as, wow? “Yeah, there’s a lot of wow out there. Holes 11 through 13 account for some of that. They form our own Amen Corner, only this one’s at seaside.”

This run of holes — a driveable par-4 looking out across Subic Bay, a par-4 that play downhill to the beach, and a bluff-top par-3 whose peninsular green falls off some 30 meters into the ocean, on three sides — will surely rank among the most photographed holes in Asian golf. But Ramsey is understandably proud of the inland holes, which, thanks to the marked elevation changes and expert shaping, played right into the hands of his firm’s “look hard, play fair” philosophy.

“From the tips, it’s long and tough enough to challenge tour pros, which is something the client specifically requested — but it’s very playable track from the multiple forward tees we created,” Ramsey said. “At 470 hectares, this is an enormous property. We were given the latitude to provide these golf holes the width they needed. By the same token, the homes here are barely visible from the golf course, which is a welcome anomaly in the golf real estate context.”

Relationships:Friendship and Dating

How to Do Everything

• Be Happy - Happiness has different meanings for everyone; we each have to define and seek it for ourselves.

      Steps

1. Figure out what is important to you in life. For example: Do you value a certain kind of job; material things; a relationship; time alone or with others; time to relax or to be creative; time to read, listen to music or have fun? These are just few of the possibilities.

2. Think about times when you have felt happy, good or content. Where were you? Whom were you with? What were you doing, thinking or feeling that made you feel happy?

3. Decide to make more time in your life to do more of what is important to you and makes you feel happier. To be happy, you have to make happiness a priority in your life.

4. Start with little things and work up to bigger ones. Little thins might include reading an engrossing book for 15 minutes; taking a walk; calling a friend; or buying great-smelling soap, shampoo, candles or tea that you will enjoy every time you use it.

 5. Focus on what is positive about yourself, others and life in general instead of dwelling on the negative. In a journal, write down as many positive things as you can think of. Keep it handy to read over, and continue adding to it.

6. Appreciate what is working in your life right now. In the major areas of your life, such as your health, job, love life, friends, family, money, faith and living situation, what is going well?

• Tips - Ask other people, "What makes you happy?" or "What is something that makes you feel good?"

              It's OK to ask for professional help. Talk to someone such as a psychotherapist, career counselor or spiritual 
              adviser (minister or teacher) to help you sort out what would make you happy.
     
              Read books on the subject of happiness. Wise people have been writing about it for hundreds of years. In the 
              bookstore, look under psychology, spiritual and seek ye first.

              And lastly, always smile wherever you go. :)
