Hypertension or HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE!

Well I decided to do a blog on "Hypertension" or in real words, "High Blood Pressure." The reason why I am doing this is because just this December I had found out that I have it myself which is actually making the rest of my insides suffer. I didn't really think it was a big thing to worry about but I was wrong!! Hypertension is caused by being overweight, stressed, eating habits, and family history. For me its like every type of symptom that they have out there. Here is a diagram showing exactly what Hypertension does. (Shown in the Picture.) This quarter has been a very stressing one, and I because of the stress it had gotten to the point where my chest would hurt probably from the stress itself. But straight out of wikipedia it says that children are counted for 85 to 95% of the population with Hypertension, which is amazingly surprising but in the other hand not. By the way that we Americans are eating it doesn't surprise me that children as well are getting it. I was kinda surprised in my case, but in a another way not really for I'm overweight and I didn't pick the right things to eat, so basically it was coming for me. But the issue with children having it at such a young age.. tsk. tsk. tsk. This shows that parents need to buck up and teach their children the RIGHT way to keep healthy by exercise, eating habits, and basically moving. Yes children now a days are really lazy, including me but just the action of moving would help. Help with our growing society with Hypertension.

How much money does it TAKE!?

EDIT: Well I had answered the wrong question!! SO here is the real answer. I'm a big buyer online especially eBay which is one of my weakness when it comes to online buying. Not only eBay but amazon for books, clothing, shoes, and even electronics. So based on my buying on the Internet I would be willing to purchase something on the Internet for basically about the most $1000 if its something that I really need and want. But other than that I can go buy it at stores.

What exactly do people spend for a web-site!?!? Well it all depends on the domain or website that the person buys. It could start at a price of $9.95 to thousands. Well for me I don't think I would want to spend a lot on a website that would usually just be made for the heck of it, then I'll probably forget about it. So I guess I would only spend about $10. Based on my experience with technology it would be a waste of money and Internet time. On the other hand if I was to be an owner of some store who sells items online well that's another story. THEN, I would put in more money for the sake of my career and company. But other than that $10 is enough!

Sucess brought to Goodwill!!!!

On February 14th we had a special guest in our class. Not just a typical guest but a person who specialize in E-commerce Programs. That person is Bill Kaufmann, Senior Vice President responsible for E-commerce programs in his own company CorpLogoWare and E-Commerce Manager at the Tacoma Goodwill. By his visit I had learned a lot about the ways that the Goodwill goes by. For every item that they get they go through a process of where it would go. And to be surprised Goodwill actually sells some of their items on the internet usually the items that are worth more in value. Goodwill is also involved with amazon.com, ebay and its own website. From my understanding Bill Kaufmann had become successful because of his interest in E-Commerce. He started as an E-Commerce manager at Goodwill and ended up with his own company as well. A two in one type of situation!!

Vanity Search

So in High School I took a lot of web design classes because I was interested at that time. And sometimes we had to do vanity searches as well, before I couldn't find anything on me except for Asianavenue. But when i conducted the vanity search there was a link that went to a local newspaper, and to be surprised it was me. It was one of my tennis matches. It had my whole name on it, and its kind of funny because you don't really find a lot of people with my name in such a combination. After that I couldn't find anymore that was exactly me. But thats alright at least I know I'm out there!!

It can also be recognized as the Lunar New Year because the Chinese New Year is actually based on the lunar moon, or when it will go back to full moon which gives it the reason for such a long celebration.

EXIT133

Well today, Derek Young founder and creator of Exit 133 which is basically blogs about the Tacoma Area. We had basically discussed the finding and ways of how Exit 133 had become what it has. Mostly on different blogs, peoples comments, and opinions. We were to ask questions, and the question that I had asked was, "How did it basically start? Were the writers just volunteers?" Well from Mr. Young's response was that it had acutally started as a blog to keep people up to date on the medical condition of his friend, then after getting use to it and more interested it he had started doing blogs on the Tacoma area, which then turned into a business where it has become sucessful!!

What my Blogs are suppose to be ABOUT.

Well this is actually my first real blog and the reason I started this is because of my Living in the Virtual World taught by Prof. Andrew Fry. Blogs are mainly to be composed of my thoughts of the society, school and life, with some incorporations of what we learn in the class. For know our opinion's are a big part of our blog for its actually our own thoughts! My blogs would usually contain a lot of things that I'm personally interested in like, music, gossip, and etc. I mainly see this blog as a way to be able to open up and show my real thoughts!!
