Question: I am so stressed out from so much schoolwork. What can I do?

SLEEP: Try to get the nightly sleep you require to feel just right the following day, without having to drag yourself from class to class. Not only is it more difficult to deal with stress when fatigued, but sleep deprivation also weakens immune system functioning, according to recent research findings. Sleeping the same number of hours each night, during the same time-block, can give you a more reliable energy supply.

EXERCISE: The Gold Medal of stress-busters goes to aerobic activities: walking briskly; jogging; swimming; cycling; blading; playing tennis, basketball, volleyball, or racquetball; doing calisthenics; and, working out on all those contraptions at the gym, including the stair-climber, treadmill, and rowing machine. Aerobic action spends stress hormones, strengthens organs targeted by stress, improves sleep, and increases energy, just to name a few benefits. Most gyms have orientation programs to familiarize new users to exercise equipment, and to reduce the fear and discomfort felt by many workout novices.

EAT: A healthy, balanced eating plan is right there on the shelf with stress reduction.

The Food Pyramid, created by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)/U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is a recommendation of the types of foods to eat to maintain a healthy diet. The food pyramid shows that no one food is absolutely essential to good nutrition, and that no one food group provides all the essential nutrients adequately. Variety, balance, and moderation are the keys to the plan.

Alice has listed the Food Pyramid's suggested number of daily servings and serving size by group below:

Breads, Cereals, Rice, & Pasta: 6 to 11 servings a day
One serving equals 1 slice bread; 1/2 cup cooked rice, pasta, or cereal; 1 ounce cold cereal.

Vegetables: 3 to 5 servings a day
One serving equals 1/2 cup raw or cooked vegetables (about the size of 1 tennis ball); 1 cup leafy raw vegetables.

Fruits: 2 to 4 servings a day
One serving equals 1 piece of fruit or a melon wedge; 3/4 cup juice; 1/2 cup canned fruit; 1/4 cup dried fruit.

Milk, Yogurt, & Cheese: 2 to 3 servings a day
One serving equals 1 cup milk or yogurt; 1.5 to 2 ounces cheese (about the size of 1 ping-pong ball). Choose low-fat options from this group.

Meat, Poultry, Fish, Dry Beans, Eggs, & Nuts: 2 to 3 servings a day
One serving equals 1.5 to 3 ounces cooked lean meat, poultry, or fish (about the size of 1 deck of cards, 1 quart jar lid, or palm of your hand); 1 to 1.5 cup cooked beans; 2 eggs; 4 tablespoons peanut butter.

Fats, Oils, & Sugar: Use sparingly.
This includes alcoholic beverages and high fat and/or sugar in foods, such as cheese, ice cream, and french fries.
So although six to eleven servings may seem daunting at first glance, once you realize what is considered a serving, it's most likely that it is already part of your regular diet.

How To Use Diet To Reduce Your Stress
By Stuart Nelson

Let us first of all set the scene.

Stress Chemistry
Whenever we perceive a situation that needs urgent and immediate action, our adrenal glands begin to make adrenalin. Almost immediately, our heart is pounding, our muscles tense, our eyes dilate, our breathing changes, our blood thickens and glucose is pumped into it: so much glucose that we could run a mile, though this might be overkill if the cause of our stress is an unwanted telephone call, a traffic jam, or kids fighting on the back seat.

The glucose is produced by breaking down the glycogen that is contained in our muscles and liver. Getting it from our blood to our bodies is achieved by hormones, produced by the pancreas. These are insulin and glucagon. The insulin, with another chemical, this time from the liver, facilitates the movement to the cells of the body, whilst glucagon is used to top up the blood sugar levels if these fall too low.

You will realise that this process of equipping us for fight of flight is expensive of energy. We might wonder where the extra energy comes from, especially if we were feeling tired immediately before the event that we are now reacting to.

The answer is that energy is diverted from the body’s normal functions of maintenance and repair. Thus, so long as we are feeling stressed, our digestion, rejuvenation and cleansing functions are turned off. No wonder people who are continuously stressed look old before their time.

But things are even worse than this for people who suffer from chronic stress. Consider the unnecessary aging involved in the process if the pituitary, the adrenals, the pancreas and the liver pump out chemicals continuously to control blood sugar that we don’t need. In short, the process wears us and our bodies out.

The Blood Sugar Saga
Worn out by the process described above, our energy is sapped. We lose concentration, become easily confused, make silly mistakes, fall asleep after lunch, become irritable, find it hard to sleep at night, don’t want to wake in the morning, sweat more than normal, and/or suffer from headaches. Does this ring any bells with you?

This is where most people turn to stimulants to help them regain energy and control. Typically, these will include tea, coffee, cola drinks, chocolate, horror films, retail therapy and such extreme activities as free-fall parachuting and bungee jumping. Those who are not fussy about keeping within the law may seek their buzz from amphetamines, crack, or crime.

Holidays are also so popular. But packing and travelling can be extremely stressful too. Moreover, the typical holidaymaker will choose to read a steamy or gripping paperback novel while waiting for the plane or while lying on the beach. Stress is never far away.

The Formula for Balance
In order to maximise your energy resources and avoid burning out, follow these guidelines.

• Eat slow-releasing carbohydrates (such as fruit and nuts), but not fast-releasing carbohydrates (such as sugar, white bread, foods containing sugar).

• Check that you are taking in all essential nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals (eat plenty of fruit, nuts and vegetables).

• Avoid taking stimulants (e.g. coffee and tea) and depressants (e.g. alcohol.

This doesn’t mean that you can never break these rules – unstressed people can safely eat chocolate and drink wine, in moderation - but if you are addicted to stress or just badly stressed you break the rules at your peril.

When you keep to these rules, you will find that you are better able to face stressful events. This is because you have given yourself a consistent supply of energy. Adopting this approach both helps to break the cycle of energy-consuming behaviour (the blood sugar saga) and creates energy to overcome the mental habits that result in our reaction to stress in the first place.

Warning
If you give up tea and coffee and other stimulants, sugar and chocolate, and you begin to suffer headaches, loss of concentration, tiredness or nausea, this is evidence enough of addiction. You are suffering withdrawal symptoms. Stick to your plan and these unpleasant side effects will pass.

MANAGE TIME: Time management is really about self-management and priorities..

Unfortunately, you can't find time. Nor can you make, buy, or save it. Time cannot be managed, manipulated, or controlled to meet our needs because we're limited to 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year.

With that said, your life should fit into "time's" schedule. First, start by asking yourself a couple of very important questions: what is important to you; and, what are your goals? If the activities that you identified are all priorities, then it's time to take out your planner and figure out how, when, and for how long to hang with friends, see your family, squeeze in your boyfriend,(huhuhu) and study in ways that match your goals. You may decide to talk with your friends less this week so that you can adequately prep for your upcoming exam. Then, next week, when the work load lessens, you can catch up with folks. You might also choose to let go of some friends, see less of your family, or, dare im say, cut back on studying. Combining stuff might work, too: study with your boyfriend ; get groups of friends together; etc.

The great thing about this "life-management" plan is that it puts YOU in charge -- not "Mother/Father Time." This strategy might sound too structured, but organizing one's life, and being disciplined about following a self-imposed plan, is sometimes the best way to get things done -- whatever you want those things to be.

Question 2: How can I reduce stress at work?

Sources of stress are known as stressors. Before you think about stress reduction, start by identifying the particular stresses in your work. What, specifically, is it about your work situation that makes you feel anxious, angry, frustrated, burned out, depressed, moody, etc.? When you come up with your list of answers, address them one at a time. Managing stress is a slow and measured process, like eating a pie one slice at a time, rather than trying to shove it all in your mouth at once.

Stress most commonly manifests itself as difficulty sleeping and concentrating, muscle tension, headaches, migraines, ulcers, sexual dysfunction, among many others symptoms. Job-related stress often stems from deadline pressures and conflicts with colleagues. For these dilemmas, time management and effective communication skills might work to your advantage. However, no matter what the causes of your tension on and off the job may be, stress-inoculating strategies like aerobic exercise, yoga, and meditation help protect against the ill-effects of stress. Social support from family, friends, and colleagues is another way to work out stress-induced emotions, instead of holding them inside where they put wear and tear on your organs and immune system. Try involving a friend in your attempts to generate positive options for thinking and behaving differently in your work environment.

Foremost, it is almost always more beneficial (and stress reducing!) to change your own outlook and actions, rather than trying to change others who we may deem the causes of our stress. For further reading, try Stress Without Distress, by Hans Selye, the pioneer of stress research. The Relaxation Response, by Herbert Benson, provides breathing and meditation techniques for relaxation.

Now,

In a moment, everything can change,
Feel the wind on your shoulder,
For a minute, all the world can wait,
Let go of your yesterday.

Can you hear it calling?
Can you feel it in your soul?
Can you trust this longing?
And take control,
Fly, open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine,
Forget about the reasons why you cant in life,
And start to try.
Cause it's your time,
Time to fly.

All your worries, leave them somewhere else,
Find a dream you can follow,
Reach for something, when there's nothing left,
And the world's feeling hollow.

Can you hear it calling?
Can you feel it in your soul?
Can you trust this longing?
And take control,
Fly open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine,
Forget about the reasons why you cant in life,
And start to try.
Cause it's your time,
Time to fly.

And when you're down and feel alone,
And want to run away,
Trust yourself and don't give up,
You know you better than anyone else.

In a moment, everything can change,
Feel the wind on your shoulder,
For a minute, all the world can wait,
Let go of yesterday.

Fly, open up the part of you that wants to hide away.
You can shine,
Forget about the reasons why you cant in life,
And start to try,
Start to fly.
Forget about the reasons why you cant in life,
And start to try, cause it's your time,
Time to fly.

Love her, hate her

I like to read this ..

Do famous sisters have time for each other? SHUIB TAIB speaks to actresses Sharifah Aleya and Sharifah Amani, sisters in arms.

AT a glance, the two sisters look alike. One is an established name in showbiz, the other an emerging one. But the glamour surrounding the siblings Sharifah Aleya, 21, and Sharifah Amani, 18, has yet to give them any airs.

As our interview warms up, Leya and Nani (as they are known to friends) show their easygoing and intelligent nature. Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that fame is no stranger to their household. The siblings are the daughters of well-known photographer Syed Zainal Rashid and Fatimah Abu Bakar, an accomplished actress and also, acting coach at Akademi Fantasia.

Leya was the able co-host of the inaugural Malaysian Idol on 8TV and won film awards for Best Newcomer (Idola) and Best Supporting Actress (Trauma). She also appeared in Diari Romeo and Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam, and has just completed Man Laksa.

Nani’s first movie, Sepet, is currently showing in cinemas. The highly acclaimed movie has already been screened at The Malaysian Film Week in Singapore and will compete in the 48th San Francisco International Film Festival this year. It was adjudged Best Feature Film in the Asean Category at the Ninth Malaysian Video Awards held in Kuala Lumpur last year.

Leya, the eldest of four girls, is often considered her sisters’ “protector”. They are, they say, each other’s best friends — and worst enemies!

As a child, Leya was the “Hand” while Nani was the “Mouth” — if anything annoyed them, Leya would react with her hand while Nani would let loose a volley of words to attack or defend herself. So what do they think of each other?

LEYA ON NANI

For the past 18 years of my life, I have been sharing my room with this human being who is a little psychotic! I’ve not “hated” anyone as much as I have “hated” her, to the point of wanting to “kill” her! (to stares from Nani as Leya suppresses a smile)

I am a Leo and I can’t stand a Gemini but both Nani and my boyfriend are Geminis! Can you beat that?

We are not academic but our mum is, which irritates the life out of us! We are very close to one another and we know each other’s secrets. When Nani says she can’t sing to save her life, it is true. She is not being modest!

I must say that although I am the eldest in the family, I’ve never felt like it. I believe in sharing responsibilities with my sisters. At times, I am also the paranoid parent and yes, I would march to anybody’s house and give them a piece of my mind should they be rude to any of my sisters!

When we were kids, we fought a lot. After a while, our parents stopped trying to intervene.

Although I am more inclined towards singing, I dabble in acting. However, I have to hand it to Nani where acting is concerned because she is sooo good! I watched Sepet and thought that Nani was great in it.

(Nani: “You cried!”)

(“No I did not! Okay, maybe a little...”)

In life, we are both honest and straight. If you don’t tell us the truth, it means you don’t consider us your friends or family. So yes, when it comes to work, we criticise each other. Who else would tell you the truth if not your mum or sister?

What I admire most about Nani is her strength. She is my support. In fact, I love everything about her except that, at times, she can be a lazy bum.

I have plans to continue my studies later on, maybe in film. My dream? I am taking steps now to ensure that my family will be immortalised in an Oscar-winning performance, like, well ... Nani, can you finish my sentence please? I’ve got food in my mouth!

NANI ON LEYA

I can’t imagine my life without my family and since I have no brothers, Leya has been my protector since I was a kid. During our schooling days, anyone who called me names or so much as bullied me would be ‘dead’ the following day! Leya would go to the parents and ask them to tell their kids to behave! Indeed, we could rely on her to get some Mafia work done!

When it comes to studies, we’re not academic, but we’re creative. We’re not clever in the conventional way but are street smart. I don’t see myself continuing my studies at the moment as movie offers are pouring in. It would be stupid for me to turn them down. But I do hope that someday, I will get to study abroad. Education will give you a steady footing. But I won’t go without Leya.

We are very close and that’s probably why we fight a lot too! Fighting used to be so much fun but now tired-lah! Not so long ago Leya broke my glasses and my lips pecah (split).

When we fight we really fight. But we won’t kill each other.

There are times when we tire of fighting and we settle for breaking each other’s things. I once broke Leya’s favourite guitar; it cost her RM400. At that time I couldn’t whack her, so I whacked her things. And since I hate suspense, I called and told her about it right away because I couldn’t wait for her to find out.

But last Hari Raya, when the two of us were cleaning up the storeroom, we found the broken guitar and started reminiscing about it. We had a good laugh afterwards!

Leya is the singer and I am the actress but of course she had to jump on the bandwagon.

But I thought Leya did very well in Trauma. I enjoyed the movie and it was so surreal to see Leya receive her trophy for Best Supporting Actress at the last Malaysian Film Festival. I remember thinking ‘That girl on stage is my sister!’ and I was really proud of her.

What I admire most about Leya is her bravado. I am not brave. Leya does things without worrying about what other people say. If only I could have a smidgeon of her courage ...

My family is very important to me. I am cool when it comes to people’s acceptance of my work. To me it’s not what people think that matters but what Papa, Mama and the rest of the family think. If I were to do a movie that my parents didn’t like, I’d be embarrassed.

That’s how important they are. You know how you have to salam your parents on Hari Raya. When you’re a kid, you just go through the motions without really getting it. But last Raya, both Leya and I cried because we finally understood the significance of the gesture.

among the Romans, only freemen were permitted to pursue)
were, in the Middle Ages, these seven branches of
learning, -- grammar, logic, rhetoric, arithmetic,
geometry, music, and astronomy. In modern times the
liberal arts include the sciences, philosophy, history,
etc., which compose the course of academical or collegiate
education. Hence, degrees in the arts; master and bachelor
of arts.

In America, literature and the elegant arts must
grow up side by side with the coarser plants of
daily necessity. --Irving.

SPM top student

HISHAMMUDDIN Tun Hussein mengucapkan tahniah kepada Nur Amalina Che Bakri (kiri) sambil diperhatikan ibunya, Sabariah Hassan (kanan) di Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Ulu Tiram, Johor Bahru, Johor, semalam.

March 10, Nur Amalina layari Internet tambah ilmu pengetahuan

WAWANCARA KEMAJUAN teknologi sering dilihat sebagai negatif oleh sesetengah pihak kerana ia boleh menyebabkan golongan muda khususnya para pelajar menyalahgunakan kemudahan terbabit.

Selain menjadi faktor kepada meningkatnya masalah sosial di kalangan remaja, ada yang menganggap teknologi itu menyebabkan golongan pelajar mengabaikan pelajaran dengan kerja-kerja yang tidak berfaedah.

Namun, bagi pelajar cemerlang Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) 2004 kemudahan Internet khususnya aktiviti chatting merupakan medium baginya untuk bertukar-tukar pandangan dengan pelajar-pelajar sebaya di seluruh dunia.

Wartawan Utusan Malaysia ROHANI IBRAHIM cuba mencungkil rahsia Nur Amalina Che Bakri, 17 pelajar cemerlang yang berjaya mendapat 17 A1 dalam SPM 2004.

Utusan: Bagaimana Nur Amalina menggunakan kemudahan Internet untuk membantu dalam pelajaran?

Nur Amalina: Saya akan melayari Internet sebagai salah satu cara untuk berehat selepas mengulang kaji. Melalui ruangan chatting, saya mendapat sahabat dari Amerika Syarikat dan Britain di mana saya sering bertukar-tukar pendapat mengenai pelbagai perkara.
Antara isu yang dibincangkan semasa berchatting ialah isu-isu antarabangsa seperti peperangan, politik dan perkembangan semasa. Dari situ saya mendapat pelbagai maklumat mengenai sistem pendidikan dan kegiatan golongan pelajar di luar negara.
Daripada situ saya dapat menambah ilmu dan pengetahuan am mengenai banyak perkara. Saya juga sering menggunakan Internet untuk membaca akhbar secara online. Bagi saya cara itu lebih mudah daripada mendapatkan maklumat kerana saya dapat membaca hampir kesemua akhbar utama secara online.

Sebagai pelajar saya pasti Nur Amalina juga tidak dapat lari daripada mengalami tekanan ekoran pelbagai faktor lain seperti masalah keluarga dan sebagainya. Bagaimana Nur Amalina mengatasinya dan memastikan semua masalah itu tidak mengganggu pelajaran?

Nur Amalina: Semasa saya mengulangkaji pelajaran saya akan pastikan fikiran saya tidak akan terganggu dengan apa juga masalah. Mungkin saya akan meluangkan sedikit masa untuk memikirkannya selepas saya menghabiskan masa untuk mengulangkaji pelajaran. Bagaimanapun, saya lebih suka melihat sesuatu masalah itu dari sudut yang positif supaya masalah itu tidak akan mengganggu fikiran mahupun pelajaran saya.Apa yang penting dalam mendapatkan keputusan yang terbaik adalah semangat yang kuat dalam diri pelajar itu sendiri. Tanamkan semangat untuk belajar dengan bersungguh-sungguh dan jangan hiraukan tentang perkara lain yang dapat mengganggu fikiran. Selain itu sokongan pihak keluarga juga adalah penting.

Boleh ceritakan kenapa Nur Amalina memilih untuk menjadi seorang pakar sakit puan?

Nur Amalina: Saya ingin menjadi seorang pakar sakit puan kerana bagi saya negara kita masih kekurangan pakar sakit puan wanita. Pada pandangan saya lebih elok seorang wanita yang menghadapi masalah sakit puan diperiksa oleh seorang pakar wanita. Lagipun, saya sememangnya meminati bidang perubatan.

Bagaimana perasaan apabila mendapat ucapan tahniah daripada Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi dan mendapat tahu yang ada pihak cuba menemukan Nur Amalina dengan beliau?

Nur Amalina: Saya sungguh terharu. Saya tidak sangka pemimpin nombor satu negara turut meluangkan masa untuk mengikuti berita pencapaian saya dalam SPM malahan menyampaikan ucapan salam kepada saya. Saya benar-benar menghargai ucapan itu kerana bagi saya ia sangat bermakna. Sebagai seorang pemimpin yang begitu sibuk dengan jadual harian dan tugasan yang begitu penting iaitu mengurus dan mentadbir negara, kesudian Perdana Menteri untuk mengikuti perkembangan saya menunjukkan beliau adalah pemimpin yang sangat prihatin.

Apa yang akan Nur Amalina bualkan jika berkesempatan untuk bertemu Perdana Menteri?

Nur Amalina: Banyak sekali...Saya ingin mengetahui bagaimana beliau menjalankan tugas seharian dalam mentadbir sebuah negara yang kecil tetapi berjaya menjadi cemerlang di mata dunia. Saya juga ingin bertanya apakah rahsia dan pegangan beliau sehingga berjaya menjadi pemimpin nombor satu. Bagaimana pula beliau menghadapi dunia politik yang begitu mencabar.Saya percaya banyak lagi perkara yang ingin saya tanya apabila bertentang mata dengan Perdana Menteri kerana beliau merupakan tokoh yang saya kagumi. Dan saya juga terharu apabila beliau menganggap kejayaan saya hari ini merupakan kejayaan yang terbilang. Ini bermakna saya berjaya menyahut cabarannya.

Japanese Samurai & Sword

Autumn wind of eve,
blow away the clouds that mass
over the moon's pure light
and the mists that cloud our mind,
do thou sweep away as well.
Now we disappear,
well, what must we think of it?
From the sky we came.
Now we may go back again.
That's at least one point of view.
- Hôjô Ujimasa1 1538-1590

* About 3 days ago, i searched about Malaysian culture and homeliving for my essay.. but suddenly id found about Japanese culture too.. Definitely i like it.. Im attached wit deir culture for a long time since there were a lot of comics , animes , films , dramas and games .. One of da Japanese culture n history is about The Samurai:

The samurai (or bushi) were the members of the military class, the Japanese warriors.Samurai employed a range of weapons such as bows and arrows, spears and guns; but their most famous weapon and their symbol was the sword.

Samurai were supposed to lead their lives according to the ethic code of bushido ("the way of the warrior"). Strongly Confucian in nature, Bushido stressed concepts such as loyalty to one's master, self discipline and respectful, ethical behavior.

After a defeat, some samurai chose to commit ritual suicide (seppuku) by cutting their abdomen rather than being captured or dying a dishonorable death. >>> know more
