I have read this article which is about an ancient swordsman, basically when we talk about swordsman, what we can think of is they are the one who work with their phycical strength instead of mental strength.But this one is different ,his name is Miyamoto Mushashi who are one of the free thinker in the time that he live in,who think out of the box, using carved oak as inconventional weapon to fight with his opponent when it come the convenient time instead of using the sword.But he not just an ordinary swordsman but also a scholar and a strategist,he have start studying and trained the way of strategy in his young age.'STRATEGY' which is set of behavior in doing sth and produce desired result,and he had read up many books then any samurai in that era,and he even set out of journey in searching of challenging rival and continuing learning the way of strategy which is the way to create strategy.What i can said is that he beat his opponent up with his mind more then he did with his sword,and there was one of his most famous duel with kojiro sasaki,in april 13,1612.Which mushashi came late and unkempt to the appointed place-the remote island of funajima in Japan.Well the dual is short,he defeat his opponent with the oar sword that he carved during the travelling to the island.From this event we can see mushashi coming late to the duel's place and outrage his opponent intentionally,so that his opponent lose all the concentration on the sword fight ,and finally this lead to victory of his fight.Here is one of his quate,"we win the fight before we enter the battle field if we make preparation,know what you yourselves capable to do as well as your opponent."And this go to the same when we having the test in univesity,do we beat up by our nervousness before we taking the test?Have we make preparation before we taking the test?Do we know our level of understanding of the subject that we learn that are going to cover in test?And Finally do we know the format of the test?heheh...That's what i called learning the way of strategy by daily challenge!!

The article that I read is about D-operation broadband. First for all, the author writes about its Terms and Conditions…if you are interesting on it, you can visit D-operation website and have a look. The author mentions an important condition which I believe many broadband users do not realize. The condition is all operation company do have different data limit which if you use extra data, you will be charge. Of course the rate is depending on the operation company. So, do not be surprise if you bill exceed our monthly fee. For information, usage volume of D-operation is 3GB, 10GB, and 20GB per month, which depends on the package.
Second important condition is once you have reached the limit, you will be capped at 128Kbps as opposed to P1 @ 400Kbps, M-operation at 64Kbps, C-operation at 64Kbps/128Kbps). I think this is the reason why many user complaint that the speed of their broadband very slow.
The advantages of D-operation broadband are it offers in terms of minimum bandwidth rather than promising speeds up to 3.6Mbps as done by another two operation. After the author testing, D-operation broadband had a good result which around 700Kbps download speed and 200Kbps upload speed. This result corresponding to minimum bandwidth of D-operation and did not cheat to its customer.
After I finish this article, I feel more confidence with the D-operation broadband rather than another two operation. But as a student, I think the free wifi in UMP is enough for me. Hehe ~~~

Hi there...
Actually,i read an article about "The biography of Barrack Obama". Here are my synopsis of this article. Barack Hussein Obama was born 4th of August 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii. His father's name is Barrack Obama sr. and his mother's name is Ann Dunham. Obama is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School.
He began his run for the presidency in February 2007. After a close campaign in the 2008 Democratic Party presidential primaries against Hillary Rodham Clinton, he won his party's nomination. He is the current President of the United States and to be the first African American to hold the office.

And that's all for now.
Thank you.

im so sorry miss and thanks to reading my comment..
recently i read a article about global warming...It says that,in the past few years, the world has experienced devastating natural disasters on a level that hasn’t been seen for decades... There is much speculation that these especially strong phenomena are due to global climate change, brought on by Global Warming... Besides it also states that all small islands and low-lying areas will be jeopardized if Global Warming is allowed to progress... Some of the northern hawaiian atolls have already been submerged by ocean water and also Waikiki, Manhattan, and New Orleans are good examples of major cities within the United States that at risk of flooding...Eventhough we are not stay at north or south but we still in the same globe so we should aware of this issues and away of doing things that can cause or increases the level of GLOBAL WARMING...

thats`s all for now...hopefully who ever read this comment will help to save our home...tq

Hai Miss,
I am really interested to touch about baby sign language. I am interested in this because my sister just deliver her first baby,,.
Sign language is very visual and it is easier for a baby to remember than spoken words. The baby begins to connect the spoken word with the gesture and with the object or activity very quickly. This will make the baby to learn faster.... =)

I have read an article about Smart Tunnel. Smart Tunnel (a.k.a
Stormwater Management And Road Tunnel) is the first world stormwater tunnel with a built-in motorway. It is the longest stormwater tunnel in South East Asia and second longest in Asia and it is located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (Proud to be Malaysian!) As we know, Kuala Lumpur is often besieged by floods and traffic jams. The Smart Tunnel is the best solution to the biggest threat to city. The head of the project is Hungarian tunneller Gus Klado. He found that Smart Tunnel is the most challenging because of the ground made up of karstic rock and soft material.

Hello miss.
I have read an article about friendship. From the article, I learn that friends are those people we share stories, feelings and secrets. But not all the friends are good. There are some friends influence the others to do bad stuff like smoking ang taking drugs. There also some friends do not respect the other friends. So, be care when you choose someone to be your friend.

Hi miss and hi guys,
Nice to meet you all again. Today, i read an article about my most favourite football player. he is a very well known player in Barcelona FC. Well you all sure would have known who am i talking about right? Well, if you don`t, then let me tell. His name is Lionel Andrés Messi. He is a very well known football player. It was an article about how he got into the "world of football". Messi commenced to play football at the age of 13. At that moment he joined Barcelona club under 14s. Since young he had a highly creative and skill in football. Therefore, he`d tried his luck by joining a football club. He was very good in playing centre forward. His breakthrough as a player came in the 2005-06 season, starting with an amazing performance in the Joan Gamper Trophy match against Juventus. He was also outstanding at the Santiago, in Barcelona's unforgettable 3-0 win, and also at Stamford Bridge, in the Champions League match against Chelsea. He really had performed well and got the confidence from the viewers that he will do more better. Hopefully 1 day he will be a great player just like diego maradona.

this is the article that amused me alot

** Two friends, who hadn't seen each other in several years, met on the street.
"Who are you working for now?" asked the first.
"Same people," answered the other. "My wife and four children."

** A young accountant stayed late at the office day after day. Finally, the boss called him in and asked for an explanation.

"Well, you see sir," he stammered, "my wife works, too -- and if I get home before she does, I have to cook the dinner."

** A friend asked a lady: "I suppose you carry a momento of some sort in that locket of yours?"
"Yes, a strand of my husband's hair."
"But your husband's still alive!"
"Yes, but his hair's gone."

** First Soldier: "What made U go into the army?"
Second Soldier: "I had no wife and I loved war. What about you?"
First Soldier: "Well, I had a wife and loved peace."

** They say that when a man holds a woman's hand before marriage, it is love; after marriage it is self-defense

** It is difficult to understand GOD. He makes such beautiful things as women..and then he turns them into Wives !!

** It takes thousand workers to build a castle , Million soldiers to protect a country
BUT Just ONE woman to make a Happy HOME! Let's Thank ...... the KAAMWALI

** A person who surrenders when he's WRONG, is HONEST.
A person who SURRENDERS when not SURE, is WISE.
A person who surrenders even if he's RIGHT, is a HUSBAND.!

** What is the difference between a woman and a magnet? Magnets have a positive side!

** Its funny when people discuss over "love marriage" and "arranged marriage"
It is like asking a person if he would like to "hang himself" or "shoot himself".

** Why do men chase women they have no intention of marrying?
For the same reason dogs chase cars they have no intention of driving.

** Wife : Honey ...... What are You Looking for ?
Husband : Nothing.
Wife : Nothing...?? you've been reading our marriage certificate 4 an hour ...??
Husband : I was just looking 4 the expiry date.

* My wife dresses to kill. She also cooks the same way.

* My wife and I were happy for twenty years. Then we met

* A good wife always forgives her husband when she's wrong

* If your wife wants to learn to drive, don't stand in her way.

* Behind every great man, there is a surprised woman.

* Some people kiss with both eyes closed. Too bad they marry the same way.

* The reason men lie is because women ask so many questions.

* A Spouse is someone who'll stand by you through all the trouble you wouldn't have had if you'd stayed single.

* The secret of a happy marriage remains a secret.

* It's not true that married men live longer than single men. It only seems longer.

* Losing a wife can be very hard. In my case, it was almost impossible.

* Just think, if it weren't for marriage, men would go through life Thinking they had no faults at all.

* A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

Hey miss i knw this is not exactly an article but it had only one tittle that was TRUTH ABOUT MARRIAGE.

This was a very amusing topic thats why i picked it. It shows certain peoples view s on the issue of marriage and married life in a humourous and a rather sarcastic way. Certain people have a concept that marriage life puts a full stop to their fredom. Well i am not in a position to comment about this topic as i have no personal experience in this topic...hehe.. But so far as i know i have a wonderful married couple who are having a great time even though they do argue alot among with each other..hmmm.. If u are wondering who they are well they are my parents.. This itself shows how great wedding is,,hehehehe
So guys get married its a good thing..=P hahaha

miss..
i have read an article about 'how to study well'..this article teach us some steps that will remove that stress and help us not just to study, but how to study well...i'm sure we will be surprised at how simple these steps are!
1st step:-All fears begin
in the mind-
Just remove that mental block that say we cannot concentrate on studying. Keep telling ourself: I can and I will...!!

2nd step:- Fix a study time -
Try to stop watching television,telephone,and others...Decide when we would prefer to keep our study hours,whether in early morning,lunch time,late evening or late night...
3rd step:-Find your sweet-spot-
A baseball bat has a sweet spot, which is the spot where we try to thwack the baseball. Similarly, find our sweet spot to launch our studies. This does not mean choosing our bed- that is definitely one place that we should avoid. Once we sit on the bed,we will slowly tend to go into a reclining position and before we know it we are asleep! Instead, select a part of a room which faces the wall so that we are not distracted by anything...


..i think thats only miss...tq

Hai miss.I want to give a comment about a health article.The article is about how to relief with allergies.As we know allergies is an abnormal reaction to ordinarily harmless substance or substances. These sensitizing substances, called allergens, may be inhaled, swallowed or come into contact with the skin.Substances that cause allergic reactions, such as certain foods, dust, plant pollen, or medicines, are known as allergens.It is not what i'm going to talk about.Actually i want to share with you on how to care with allergies.
1.Wear a mask whenever dusting or mowing a lawn Stop smoking.
2.Keep family pets out of certain rooms,like your bedroom,and bathe them if necessary.
3.Avoid using aspirin,which has been reported to allow food allergens to be more effectively absorbed by the body.
4.Remove carpets or rugs from your room.Install an air-purification system at home.

Thats all from me..
thank you.

hello!!
here,i want to share with you about an artices that i read..the article is about faith..after read this article i know that faith is very important in one's life..this is because faith is the ability to believe that adversity has a higher meaning that we can realize.Faith is the active process of persevering through challenging circumstances despite rational or logical judgement..sometimes,we may ask ourselves: When i have faith in other people,they take advantage of me! This may sound silly but have we ever think every successful person we now or have read about went through many stages in their lives where nothing was going their way.In every area of their life,they had no support.They had to go past the visible evidence around them and enter into the 'unseen' and they must employ faith..so do us..we must employ faith everyday and in our daily life we must keep faith in ourselves,people surroundings,our country,our world and most important is keep faith in our God..
