*GoodBye GREY*

Sorry for not blogging so long my stupid internet connection at home is literary killing me!

Bye Bye GREY...
(not forever of course!)

Walauwei the way im blogging here is like I'm saying goodbye to GREY forever! But as for the fact is that I'm definate to join there back after I graduate from my college that is PJCAD (pj College of Art and Design).
Still also... the amount of stress in GREY was ridiculous and hideous, I'm still gonna miss there.. this 3 months literary made me comfortable and kinda used to working in GREY, so thats what made me to go back..


What was like in Grey!


This 3 months GREY was like my second home to me. I spend most of my time there then home and it was fun eventhou it is stressfull sometimes... but eventually I kinda get immune to it and never complain anymore ( well... at least for the last 2 months! haha...)

Anyways.. the first month there I was under the team which led by the Creative Director A.k.a CD. of course in the Creative department. during that time the Megasales was on. and seens The Curve is one of Grey account, the job was given to us! I had to do the leaflet as well as the poster stand. I was so happy in this project.. U wanna noe why? my designs was selected over the Art Directors(i think i mentioned in my other blog!) so it was like Yihoooo to me!!

Come to the second month.. I was posted to the Traffic department.. ok i have to say it there was awfull but the ppl was nice unlike Creative.. I could go home early as well.. What i mean by awfull?? the workload of course! they made me do filing for all the job requisition from Jan 2008 till August... trust me one month of filing is good enough to be a killer...


Then the third month which is the last month of me working here! they relocate me back to creative. Seriously it was a above the killing month for me! remember the Mutiara Damansara pitch project? that was what i did for the whole month.. I had to work on saturday and sunday as well pluss working till late! Brainstorming and brainstorming and MORE brainstorming...... to do! but it was fun and alot of learning experience for me!


Anyways i still love working there and missing grey sooooo much....

Thanks to everyone who guided me through and teach me alot

CHEERS TO GREY!

Deep Insights By a Kid?!

When I born, I black
When I grow up, I black
When I go in Sun, I black
When I scared, I black
When I sick, I black
And when I die, I still black.

And you white fellow

When you born, you pink
When you grow up, you white
When you go in sun, you red
When you cold, you blue
When you scared, you yellow
When you sick, you green
And when you die, you grey.

And you calling me colored?

This is a poem by some very young African kid. Yesterday me and Melvin was chating with Unc Dennis, and he actually told us this poem, well at the begining I was like what the hell is this, the English was totally out and of course is maybe writen by some 7 yr old kid maybe? But then towards the end, that one sentence really bLEW me and Melvin AWAY!
Imagine this little fella here has the deep insights which an adult may not have, no wonder this was nominated by UN for the best poem in 2005. YEP THATS RITE!

Aren't Whites the one who are COLORED?! And best of all in different occasions.. See look they are the ones who are talking about Blacks being colored! Bunch of DinDongs!
haha... Good one!

{TIPS} **Heal Those AWFUL Menstrual Cramps**

Ishhhhh.... I just got my menses last night, it really sucks u noe, especially when I have to go to work while my lower abdoment hurts badly and I mean REAL BADLY! But i will always treat myself the best remedy that will heal me on no time! dun worry Im gonna share with u Girlzz too!


first of all....

What are Menstrual Cramps?

Also known as: Dysmenorrhea

Menstrual cramps are known medically as dysmenorrhea. They typically feel like a dull pain in the lower abdomen before or during menstrual periods. The pain sometimes radiates to the low back or thigh area. Other symptoms may include nausea, loose stools, sweating, and dizziness.

There are two types of menstrual cramps: primary and secondary dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea, which usually starts within several years after your first menstrual period, involves no physical abnormality. Hormone-like substances called prostaglandins, which are produced naturally in the body, are thought to cause these menstrual cramps and be responsible for the pain and inflammation.


Here are some recipes of old grandma remedy's on how to relieve or preventing you to get this awful period pains.


Remedy: Ginger Tea

Why it works:

Ginger contains two substances, gingerols and shagaols, that tone the muscles of the digestive tract, neutralize stomach acid and stimulate the production of digestive juices.

Ginger is often used as a general remedy to settle the stomach.

It also has numerous pain-reducing and anti-cramping compounds.

How to use it:

There are several ways to take ginger.

You can eat a piece of fresh, peeled ginger, up to a half-inch piece, four times a day, as needed.

Or you can steep a piece of fresh ginger in hot water to make tea.

Health food stores also carry crystallized ginger, where fresh ginger is infused with sugar to make a sweet yet pungent treat.

Ginger is available in powdered, tablet form as well.

What to watch out for:

Ginger can hinder your blood's ability to clot, so avoid it in the few days before and after any surgery or if you are on blood-thinning medication.

If you are suffering from morning sickness, check with your doctor before self-prescribing ginger.

Other remedies to consider:

Menstrual-Cramps Remedy: Peppermint

Why it works:

Peppermint is prized for antispasmodic and antigas properties, among other benefits.

It's also a mild stimulant, you'll often see it in tea that is labeled "refreshing" or "restorative."

This multitasking herb has a mild numbing effect as well.

How to use it:

Make tea out of one to two ounces of dried peppermint leaf and eight ounces of water.

It's also available in capsule form.

Make sure it's enteric-coated.

Buy it from a reputable health food store and read the package for dosage.

What to watch out for:

Don't use peppermint if you suffer from acid reflux.

Because peppermint relaxes the sphincter between the esophagus and the stomach, it can encourage stomach acid to flow upward, making heartburn or indigestion caused by acid reflux worse.

Menstrual-Cramps Remedy: Evening primrose oil

Why it works:

Evening primrose oil is a good source of gamma-lineolic acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid that is often found to be lacking in women who are suffering from PMS.

The body converts GLA into prostaglandins, which act like hormones to regulate certain bodily functions such as inflammation and muscle contraction.

In Europe, evening primrose oil is often used to treat the bloating, cramping and breast tenderness associated with PMS.

How to use it:

Take up to two teaspoons of evening primrose oil a day, with food.

Menstrual-Cramps Remedy: Raspberry leaf tea

Why it works:

Raspberry leaf tea has been used for many years by women to ease menstrual cramps.

Researchers believe it could be the plant's pycnogenol that helps ease uterine muscle contractions.

Raspberry leaf tea is also a traditional remedy for the discomfort associated with the third trimester of pregnancy and is used to help prepare the uterus for birth.

How to use it:

Brew a tea using dried or fresh raspberry leaves.

Allow it to steep for up to 10 minutes.

Menstrual-Cramps Remedy: Kava kava (Piper methyscticum)

Why it works:

Kava grows naturally on islands in the South Pacific.

There, it has traditionally been brewed into a beverage and served to promote a sense of calm and well-being.

It is a natural tranquilizer with none of the foggy side effects of other prescription calming agents.

It also has compounds that help relax uterine muscles.

How to use it:

Take a few drops of tincture under the tongue as needed.

What to watch out for:

There have been numerous reports of liver failure in people who take kava kava in Europe.

NOTE ***Do not use it for extended periods of time (more than one month), or at all if you have liver problems, regularly consume alcohol or are on any medication that also compromises liver function.


So I hope u girlzz out there actually use this remedy's! NO JOKE! it really works for me, especially the ginger tea for relive and Evening Primrose Oil that literary PREVENTS IT!

So NO MORE SUFFER!
