Juicing

Recently I've been reading up on health and body building, perhaps inspired by watching movies where the protagonist fights for his life half naked with abs rippling through his toned body - "The Predator". BTW the main character from The Predator - Royce - look alot like Bear Grylls from "Man Vs Wild" I must say. Both, survival experts, both marines, and looks the same, I actually thought it was Bear Grylls in The Predator movie.

For those survival fans out there who likes to learn to survive in the wild, watch Man Vs Wild, its really good. Anyways back to the topic at hand, as I was saying I've been watching and reading up on body building and nutrition and have found that Juicing to the ideal nutritional intake for health and well being.

Allow me to briefly explain, Juicing is the process of separating the liquid part from the solid parts of the fruits and vegetable, just like squeezing the juices from a lemon. When we drink their juice instead of eating them we reduce the amount of energy required for digestion. This extra energy goes back to the immune system making you more resistant to diseases. Drinking fruits and vegetable consistently detoxifies and revitalizes the body, making you feel and look healthier.

After reading stevepalvina's experience with juicing and how it affected him positively I immediately went to Woolworths to look for some fruits and vegetables. I popped over to my uncles house, borrowed the juicer off i went to start my healthy lifestyle.



The first mistake made was putting avocado into the juicer expecting it to pump out a blended green juice, doesn't work people, it clogs the juicer due to its thick cream like texture and ended up making a big mess as it pushes all the juices from other fruits to the pulp container, wasting time and food. Other fruits not to juice include bananas and potatoes :D

Due to the detox effects that other people who tried juicing have witness I decided to not to eat meat or cooked foods to detox as well. Have since failed since its winter and hot meals are so irresistible. One thing I must mention, if your going to try juicing, its best to do it in the summer, and you better have a job cause Juicing will take up a lot of fruits and vegs and hence reduce your wallet size.

I have stopped juicing due to insufficient funds since I'm unemployed at the moment, but I still eat fruits everyday, and whenever i can i eat vegetarian meals like the ones below.

My Desk Modification

Throughout the autumn months I found myself once again to be irritated by something in my room, something just didn't seem right. And there it was - my computer, the big black tower just sitting there on the water fan next to my desk, it just stands out in some way making my room look just that tab untidy. After a while of fighting with my lazy side i decided to go for it and modify my desk so as to hide the tower along with all its ugly wires.



In my mind a tidy and clean room has no visible wires or unnecessary objects lying around. Tidy rooms makes me happy, so I spent the next 4 days pushing, pulling, sawing, measuring, drilling, hammering, and everything to get the job done as soon as possible. Here's what it looks like :

The first draw of my desk has been remove - don't need it anyways - then the side and back of the desk is removed so I can push the tower through the side as it didn't fit going from the front. The back is so the tower has room to breath, and a place for the wires to connect to. I also screwed the multiple power outlet under the desk to hide away more wires and for easy access.

Now I'm Happy :D time for some leisure activities ~
