Hygiene Hypothesis and Asthma

This is some serious topic. 

Kind of.

Ye la uols. Kalau topik merapu merepek cerita pasal (mis)adventure Cik Panda, lajuuuuu je uols baca kan. Kalau topik informative, krik krik sangat viewers dia. Hihi

Anyway, have you heard of hygiene theory and it's relation to asthma? 

What is Hygiene Hypothesis/theory?


Hygiene theory hypotheses that childhood exposure to germs and certain infections helps the immune system develop. '


This teaches the body to differentiate harmless substances from the harmful substances that trigger asthma. 

In theory, exposure to certain germs teaches the immune system not to overreact.

Children growing up in rural areas, around animals and in larger families seem to develop asthma less often than other children. 


According to the hygiene hypothesis, this is due to increased exposure to particular viruses, bacteria or parasites.

So basically, children who were more exposed to germs have better immune system. 

Our immune system needs stimulants. 

I personally think letting you child roll on the grass, run bare-footed on the field, played in the dirt, swim in the creek and run in the rain can be a good thing. 

So what if they fall sick once in a while?
That was how we were brought up. Our parents let us played in the nature. Dirt, mud and some drain water. you name it. 

Sure we got cuts,bruises and boils but we grew up strong and healthy. 

It's kinda sad watching kids nowadays played with gadgets (it's amazing how a 2 year old kid can play with Ipad better than i do!), stayed in the house most of the time with parents so over-protective and scared of germs.

My best memories of childhood is of us siblings and cousins swam in the river for hours, paper boats in the drain when it rained, catching little fish in the drains. 


Yeah. We played a lot in the drain.

Cheers to our awesome childhood!

Gym Is My Boyfriend

So the other day my partner in crime tag me in a photo that she says reminds her of me. It described me to a T. Gym is not my new boyfriend. It always has been my boyfriend.   Unlike most guys that I met, the gym does not give empty promises, does not disappoint, never demands, always leaves you satisfied, made me feel beautiful and sexy, made me a better person physically, mentally, and emotionally.  And never try to get into my panties. I'm such a gym junkie that most of the time, I schedule my social life, even dating around my fitness classes.  I clicked with a guy on Tinder. Despite the fact that he's obviously just wanted to get into my pants, we got on really well pretty fast and he really wanted to see me. My typical response to anyone who wanted a slice of my time would be  "I'll only be free on Monday and Thursday evenings. Other days I'll be working and gyming. If you really want to see me, it's either after gym or you come to my workp...

Guide To First Dates For Dummies

Guide To First Dates For Dummies While I'm not exactly an expert in relationships, first dates, and stuff, I've had a few learning experiences and a panel of consultants.  I feel the need to share with you, especially guys, a few do's and don'ts of a first date.  Basically to give you some idea of what girls expect on a first date and to save you from embarrassment and disappointments from not securing a second date.  1. Dress To Impress DO NOT underestimate the power of dressing. You only have one chance at making a good first impression.  You don't have to wear something expensive or trendy. Just something tidy, presentable, smart, or casual. Something you are comfortable in. Jeans, a nice shirt and shoes would be fine.  No short pants, slippers, and ratty t-shirts. If you want to wear shorts, wear them with a shirt (with collar) and shoes instead. Hair should be presentable, facial hairs trimmed and tidy, no bad breath or body odour.  Use cologn...
