People always crave for something new and tasty. I would like to introduce the food, Korean ramen.  Well, ramen originated from China and is known as a Japanese dish. If there are 2 east asian countries eating ramen we can never forget about Korea. According to the World Instant Ramen Association, an average of 74.1 bowls of ramen is consumed by each person in Korea every year in a study in 2014 which ranks top 1 in the world.

This may be because after the world war II, Korea had a big food shortage. Due to this food shortage the chairman of the Samyang Company thought of a way to stop this crisis. This is when the chairman thought of selling ramen to the country. It was in 1963 when the Samyang company first introduced ramen to the country and it was worth 10 won which almost anybody could afford. Many netizens of the country appreciated Samyang's effort to stop the food crisis of the country. Typing comments like "Our country's first ramen, It's really cheap!" 

Now, eating ramen in South Korea has become a lifestyle and a really popular food that everybody would know of. 

p.s. I wrote this article to spread awareness to the people of Korea and people who love and enjoy eating ramen. I would like you guys to appreciate this simple but important food Ramen.

Sun's Out Gun's Out

     Now that Prom's done for us Grade 11 students, we can finally eat whatever we want again ! Isn't that great? But wait...... SUMMER IS COMING. Something that we forgot about since we're too busy for Prom is that we also need to prepare our Summer Body! Majority of us will be heading to the beach for vacation this summer and of course you would want to look great don't you?? Well I can help with that for sure! I was a chubby little boy before until I decided to get up of my couch and work out. That means I've had a lot of experience in losing weight and I can give out some tips.

1. Always hydrate yourself with water and drink at least 8 glasses of water per day. Drinking water can boost up metabolism and can satisfy your urge to eat and keeps your system functioning. 
2. Get some sleep! As funny as it sounds, sleep deprivation may make you fat — and not just because you're susceptible to cases of the late-night food trip. So get to sleep as early as possible and avoid checking your phone all the time! 
3. Eat a big and balanced breakfast. Your breakfast should be your heaviest meal of the day since this will give you the energy for the rest of the day and having a heavy breakfast would help you avoid eating a lot during lunch and dinner. 
4. Take out food in advanced from your meal and save it for the next day when you go out and eat. Eating too much in a meal will give you a hard time to digest all the food you've eaten.

Here are the few EFFECTIVE tips that I've tried and tested and I were you go try it yourself right now! The earlier the better. Make sure to be consistent and I promise you'll get your Summer Bod in no time!

My Trip to Chengdu

By Kim Chung Beom

My trip to Chengdu 

Traveling cannot always be simple. This is how I when to Chengdu.
You should always remember you need a Chinese visa when traveling to China.
It takes two flights in order to reach China from the Philippines.
Manila NAIA airport ~ Korea Incheon airport
Korea Incheon airport ~ China Chengdu airport
First before packing your things, check the weather. 
Korea was -8 degrees and Chengu was 7°C

1st day

I Ieft NAIA airport to Korea. It took me 4 hrs to reach Incheon airport. When I went out of the airport, I felt the pain of 8 degrees celcius wind maybe because I was used to the weather here in the Philippines. 

I headed to my home town before leaving to China because my flight between Korea to China had almost 14 hrs free time. If you are in my situation I recommend visiting 

Hong-Dae since it's only an hour away from the airport. 

After few hours of free time I came back to the airport and prepare to leave for China Chengdu

Going to China Chengu only took 1 hr from Korea Incheon.

I finally arrived in in Chengdu airport around 10 pm. I was so happy to be in China but it was still so cold.

Before heading to my hotel me and my team decided to visit McDonald. Chinese people pronounce it as "Mac Dang-lau"

The McDonald in China was actually really good and the price was similar to McDonald here.

2nd day

We when to a mountain where we saw 3 different tourist attraction at once.

There was a beach, German town and a 100 year old church.

The other days were well spent and I had to go back to the Philippines.

Like how I went to Chengdu, i did the same going back. I had to visit Korea first before going back to the Philippines.

Just to add up,there are a lot of things to eat in Incheon airport and this is one of them

This was my trip to China Chengdu and Korea

TRUMP, WILL HE MAKE IT?

Trump Rallies in Nevada

watch live:

Trump is a potent candidate of being a president if he wins the western Nevada.

Rubio and Cruz seems to be a 2nd big match.

According to Gravis research. Trumps polls 39% which wins candidate Cruz by 16%. Rubio was known to have a polls of 19%.

Also, Trump gets the first place in third contest held in South Carolina by 39% which almost proves that Trump will take an advantage in super Tuesday.

After the 'Mini Super Tuesday', the result of republican party candidates is around 60% sure so it will be the last fight.

Some people say that Rubio and Cruz has hope of winning so it is still hard to estimate the winning of Trump.
