Milky Issue

Whole milk or 2% milk?

Honestly, I'm looking for reasons to switch to whole milk. While doing some research to make me feel good about the switch, I found an article to my liking that said: "women who regularly eat whole milk or other full-fat dairy products gain 15%-30% less weight over a ten year period" (Reinagel, 2007) ( American Journal of Clinical Nutrition).

That's exactly what I wanted to hear. No doubt, there were plenty of other articles which said non-fat was better. All in all, what I found most interesting was that, with fat artificially removed, so were all the natural vitamins found in milk. The fat in whole milk also helps control hunger, hence helps you maintain a controlled diet. However, whole milk is mostly recommended for those with no existing health issues....

I have two choices. I can switch back to whole milk, or stick to my 2% and be happy with it.

I think I need to do more research.

Looking Through a Viewfinder

Photography. I can't tell you exactly when I got into it, but I can say it had something to do with owning a Digital SLR. I was inspired. I've had the camera since 2006 but the inspiration struck in the year 2007... when I saw what I could do with this brilliant piece of machinery!
See below what I saw then:



Reading the Manual. I'm one of those people who strongly believes I don't need an instructions manual to tell me what to do. I still believe. So I bought photography magazines instead. They are a lot more cooler to read than instruction manuals. Makes me look cool buying them too.
See below for proof I don't need a manual (this is pre-magazine):

Dubai in Pictures

During my last trip to Dubai I meant to take a lot of pictures but unfortunately having exhausted nearly all my time driving or being invariably lost in traffic, I came back home with lesser than 10 and out of them 5 were marginally any good.

Here are those pictures..
