Hey! .... It's been a long time since I posted something in my blog! Heheh ... Anyway, I was kind a busy for a several weeks working on the mobile app for my company.  I just paused for awhile and rethink some of my tools to update.  Everyday of work I had needs an IDE but I prefer pure text editor.

Now, working on something on Mac text editor is a bit handy but you need to be familiar with at least some shortcuts that will make your self convenient.  One text editor I've been using is "TextMate" though I've been using the terminal edit on Mac "VIM" hehe! Late I tried using "Sublime Text" quite okay but I still need to do some adjustments when coding.  (They aren't FREE, 30days is over then you have to purchase the license) .  Then I go back to "TextMate 10", but one server side scripting I've been playing around lately is CoffeeScript which I need a bundle for TextMate to run do some fancy actions like syntax highlighting, ability to compile or evaluate CoffeeScript inline, convenient symbol listing for functions and a number of expando snippets.  Then I found this article which is very helpful. (https://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script-tmbundle)  OKaY! great :)

How to Write the Perfect Resignation Letter

• Resignation letters should ideally only be a page in length.

• Submit a printed hardcopy of your resignation letter instead of emailing it. Besides being more professional, it gives you and your soon-to-be ex-company physical evidence in case of any possible disputes that might arise.

• Do not include any derogatory or negative comments in the resignation letter. Even if you’re dying to tell your boss what a self-righteous prick he or she is, explicitly writing it in the resignation letter will not only make you look unprofessional, it might even land you into legal trouble.

• The resignation letter should include a brief explanation of why you are leaving the company. However, keep in mind the previous guideline, especially if the main reason why you’re quitting is because your boss is a self-righteous prick.

• It is good etiquette in the letter to thank your employer and boss for the opportunities that you’ve been given in the company.

• Do take note that most companies require you to serve notice ranging from a few weeks to even two months. This is important in the event that you already have a new job offer lined up. Communicate with your new employers the amount of notice you need to give and include the exact date of when you are resigning from your current company in your resignation letter. Remember to fulfil your mandatory notice period and ensure that it does not clash with the start date of your next job.

• If you would like a testimonial from your boss, it is best to ask from it in person rather than requesting for it in the resignation letter. However, keep in mind that your boss is not obligated to give you one, so don’t hound him or her.

10 Foods for Fabulous Abs

http://sg.news.yahoo.com/10-foods-for-fabulous-abs.html?page=10

1. Yogurt is magic for the tum. Nutritionist Rania Batayneh recommends yogurt, “The probiotic bacteria in most yogurts help keep your digestive systemhealthy, which translates into a lower incidence of gas, bloating, and constipation, which can keep your tummy looking flat." Ideally go for the plain-flavoured yogurts, that don’t contain added sugars.

2. Switch to whole grain. The body shows a decreased insulin response to whole grain as compared to refined carbohydrate like rice and white bread. So replace those meals of white rice and milk bread with whole grains like lentils, brown rice, and whole wheat bread for a trimmer waistline.

3. Stock up on cruciferous veggies like broccoli, brussels sprouts, asparagus, peppers, and yellow beans. They contain folate, beta-carotene, calcium, magnesium, and fiber, and are rich in vitamins A, C, and K.

4. Olive Oil: Mono-unsaturated fats like those found in olive oil, work to reduce belly fat and don’t increase calorie intake.

5. Apple cider vinegar: New research indicates that 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar (ideally mixed with a glass of water), consumed daily over a period of 12 weeks, works to lower body weight and reduce belly fat. This is attributed to vinegar's acetic acid, which is believed to pump out proteins that break down fat.

6. Green tea contains certain chemicals called polyphenols and catechins that boost metabolism and help burn fat. Including 2-3 cups of green tea in your diet will help reduce that waistline, as well as provide a host of other health benefits.

7. Apples are one of the most popular negative calorie foods. This means that an apple burns more calories that it adds to the body, while being digested, making for a great, tasty snack that does nothing to add to body fat.

8. Eggs are a great source of protein and contain essential amino acids that the body needs to build everything from muscle fibres to brain chemicals. It is the perfect breakfast food, and ensures you feel less hungry during the day and reduces that urge to snack.

9. Almonds provide the body with minerals like magnesium, and regulate blood sugar levels. A stable blood sugar level is key to prevent cravings that can lead to overeating.

10. Salmon, tuna and mackerel, in addition to being a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, also improve metabolism and help burn fat faster by improving the body’s glucose-insulin response.

Don’t waste your time living someone else’s life

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
