What should you avoid to eat while pregnant?

According to a website which talking about the food should be avoided while pregnant, those listed foods are:

1. Raw Meats: Raw meats such as sushi, seafood (especially shellfish), rare or uncooked beef or poultry foods should be avoided during pregnancy due to the risk of coliform bacteria, toxoplasmosis and salmonella.

2. Deli meats including hot dogs: These deli meats might be contaminated with listeria bacteria which may result in miscarriage. It's safe to eat deli meats if you reheat them until steaming hot or avoid altogether.

3. Raw eggs: Raw eggs may contain salmonella. Some Caesar salad dressings, mayonnaise, homemade ice cream and custards as well as Hollandaise sauces may be made with raw eggs. In addition, unpasteurized eggnog should be avoided during pregnancy. Definitely one of the top foods to avoid during pregnancy.

4. Fish high in mercury: Another important food you can't eat when pregnant. In many places in the U.S. there are high levels of Mercury or polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the fish. When you consume large amounts of mercury, your baby may suffer brain damage resulting in developmental delays (for example, delays in learning to walk or talk). Consumption of fish containing high levels of PCBs in their fatty tissues is linked to decreased attention, memory, and IQ in babies. Check with your local Health Department to determine which fish in your area are safe to eat.

5. Soft cheeses: Soft cheeses such as blue cheese, feta (goat cheese), brie, cambert, Latin-American soft white cheeses (such as queso blanco and queso fresco) and blue-veined cheeses (such as roquefort) may become contaminated with the Listeria bacteria. Listeria could cause sickness or death in you or in your child.
6. Over the counter food: Avoid canned, tinned or prepackaged foods. Many of them can have Salmonella or other bacteria. Even hotdogs and burgers bought from vendors can cause diseases.
7. Liver: Minimize the amount of liver you eat. Animal liver contains very high levels of vitamin A. While vitamin A is good for you, women who consume too much may risk a higher incidence of birth defects in their babies. Since you're probably already taking prenatal vitamins and eating other vitamin A-containing foods, it's better to be safe and not consume liver on a regular basis.
8. Artificial sweeteners: No-no food you can't eat when pregnant.The consumption of artificial sweeteners, such as can be found in diet soda, is safe for the general public. No studies show conclusively that it's harmful for humans to consume artificial sweeteners during pregnancy. The risk seems to be lowest with aspartame, while Saccharin has been shown to cause birth defects and cancer in rodent studies. you might choose to limit your consumption of artificial sweeteners during pregnancy. Instead, substitute fruit juice, milk or water.
9. Unpasteurized milk and milk products: Most of our milk products are made from pasteurized milk. Pasteurized milk has gone through a special cleaning process to rid it of any bacteria, especially listeria. Milk boiled at high temperature (pasteurized) kills the deadly bacteria.
10. Alcohol: During your pregnancy, it is important that you try to avoid alcoholic beverages. Though you may be used to having a glass of wine with dinner, alcohol can severely damage your baby and hinder her development. Alcohol can pass through your placenta and prevent your baby from getting much-needed oxygen and nutrients. Heavy drinking during pregnancy can also increase your child's risk of developing Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, an illness that causes severe mental and physical side effects.
11. Other foods: Pineapple, papaya, coffee, tea and sesame seeds should be avoided during pregnancy.
12. Go organic: Very important for a healthy baby. You do not want to feed your baby the hazardous pesticides and chemicals that come for free with groceries.

In fact, this above information is copied 100% from a website since I think it seems very important for pregnant women to read and yeah, that's me now. :)

Sweet Silly Love Words

Below pictures are called “emo love cartoon character”. I saw them by chance in Google and immediately love them, love their words. That’s so sweet and full of loyalty with adorable love. Hehehe…

Her Today!

Today is such a bad day for a lady. She meets a lot of problems due to her health. It makes her almost cannot stand to work. Start from the morning, when she gets up she feels hot even there’s air-con in her room. She gets sick with her stomach and that’s diarrhea…tired! Still, she needs to dress and goes for work because she thinks it would get better, just a simple illness. However, she additionally gets much worse by feeling of vomit. To her, it seems she is car-sick. She even feels dizzy and so hard to breathe. She wonders what kind of her day today? Why all those happen to her? More than that, she bursts into tear very easily. How very weak she’s today. Just think of her argument with her special one, she lately cries and cries. Luckily, her mother asks her sister to take good medicine for our lady. She feels better after taking it.

Unfortunately, those feelings come back all in the afternoon again. Wahhh!!! How come it arrives without any invitations so? Of course, all those uncomfortable feelings come back and not only them, they takes their friends to visit our lady too. Hmmm…. She doesn’t only feel as morning time but more than that. She feels exhausted, her hands and legs seems so soft. She feels quite sleepy while there are hundred yawning per hour. Her eyes try to close while her brain tries to control it to open and works. She almost can’t control herself but just try to overcome it. It’s not the serious sickness; however, it is exactly a very annoying one. She’s totally sick now! Pity her! :’(

Work Difficulty

While we are working under someone, dealing with many different people…not our own business, for sure, there are thousands things that make us almost non-breathing. It’s called pressure. Is it the culture of work? Hmmm…it should be so. Some said sales & marketing is a hard task while some said customer service is harder, always deal with complains and solutions. Other think, Human Resource or recruitment maybe better since we only need to recruit staff but let’s believe that all kind of works are full of pressure…. To my own experience, recruitment is interesting but quite hart to deal with.

Since I start working in a recruitment agency, I meet a lot of problems. I’m a fresh one for this skill, never had experience before. When I start in this field, I need to learn and face many things. I need to learn how to interview while this only use with English language but I’m not very good with pronunciation, still in a limitation. Do you know what happen to me? The ones who have a very good English comprehension, they are teasing me, they repeatedly talk about the words I get wrong with….in fact, I’m so embarrassed but later, I get much improving and even stronger than before. I know the way to deal with this kind of people. They may have good heart to teach me but they should use a better way, not the way that make me down so. After that, I am assigned to handle some positions. I meet problem again as I don’t have many network, so it’s hard to find candidates that fit with the job description. Moreover, most of the posts that I handle are the low positions, low salary or if a bit higher positions, mostly it would be for working at the provinces. It’s not really easy to fill those positions. Some positions, I can find candidates but they are not selected when they already met with my clients (because of multi cases). I spent time for nothing but need to find more. In case I could find more and get success but unluckily they cannot stay with my client until the end of probation, I need to find more to replace with free of charge. I got tired. More than that, while I could get success but the salary is not a high one, so we cannot charge much…then, I will hear someone said “hmmm… just a small amount of money!” awww….how come that person could speak so? Doesn’t that person think this word hurt me? I’m also human, I have heart, if cannot always but should be sometime that person should think of my feeling. I get success but I’m not really praised. I get disappointed but just keep silent. How a pressure it is!

I want to complain a lot but I can’t because the culture of work in Cambodia said, “If you think you can patient to work, that’s okay. Anyway, if you don’t really satisfied, no need to complain but just leave here”. A lot of unfair things happen. Sometime, all staff use working time to do some personal things but since they sit in the good locations, no one knows what they are doing. This is what I want to raise up, my seat is in a public one, everyone can see whatever I do on my PC… then, at one day, I’m really bored and I’m careless to check some entertainment website… you know, I got warn, much warn from the management. I got much blaming words indirectly. I know I’m wrong to use working time to get something so but why that person blames only me? How about other? They’re also…just that person doesn’t see... Hmmm…. I’m wrong, I should get this punish…but it should not only me cause I’m only one among many! In addition, some of my teamwork are too much. They did much bad to me. I always get suffer from their act and words….working here; I feel I don’t have much value… I feel I’m not really welcomed… I want to stop working there many times; still I’m always denied by my mother and my special. They both may not understand of my internal-sickness…my feeling get suffered. I do describe what I am difficult with but they said it’s not serious enough for me to stop. :’(

Fortunately, this place’s also the place which teaches me a lot of thing to improve my past-weak-points. Thus, there are also many good people here… some staff are very good people. They do understand much of other. Later, they become my good friends. I even found two more closed friends from here. They all are the reasons I can continue to stay here longer. However, why this good thing is so fast to end? Currently, they are all separately and go to different places. Some get scholarship for studying abroad, some get new better offered-job and some are busy with their study and stop from here. As the result, I’m now alone in this recruitment company.  I don’t think I can continue here…. I better stay home and relax a few months first. After everything’s going fine with my side, I maybe can find another new career…

Quit work, this is not really a good choice…. I would have no money to pay anything….but it would be the best choice to cure my internal one.

Clothing Shop & Chinese People

At break time for lunch today, I left my office and went to visit my sister at her working place, clothing shop near Toul Tompong Market. My sister had something to give me and that’s cookies. lol… She knows I love eating it. While I arrived, it was so quiet because her colleague, A Mouy went home and there were no clients too. We were a lot discussing and sharing about 15 minutes, and then many clients came into the shop while A Mouy also arrived. They both started to welcome clients.

Firstly, a foreigner came in. She just went around several minutes and went back. After, two Cambodian people arrived. One was a man whom needed a T-shirt which had to be the same to his T-shirt but there’s no in that shop. Still, my sister talked to him sweetly and recommended him to another shop. Another one was a woman. She wanted a man’s trousers that was made from a cloth, called PALOUR but that has never had in this shop. About 10 minutes later, they both left. The last clients whom came in, while I was still there, were a group of Chinese, 3 men and a young lady. They were quite active; they talked and discussed a lot with their team, my sister and a Mouy. They asked about multi brands, many available sizes; especially, they made the shop messy with the piles of clothes since they once interested in a brand or size and immediately change their preferable. Three of them kept taking some shirts and shorts of different brands, comparing and went into the changing room for trying. They did like this several times and finally, they dropped those clothes down and complained with many reasons… “hmmm, it’s too loose…hay, how so small is it? Eh, any other colors? Wow! So expensive! If could be discount 15%, I may consider…” As a result of about 25 minutes passed, they bought nothing and left the shop. The real reason, they may be here for visiting only... But why they are so? They should not let other so busy because of them. If they have no plan to buy anything, just go around and have a look would be enough.

While those Chinese clients were in the shop, my sister and her friend, A Mouy were much teasing each other and laughing. They both gossiped the clients in Khmer language….oh, should not be said as Gossip since they were speaking in front of the clients but how could they understand as they only know English and Chinese language. Lolzzzz….. They both said it’s rarely for the Chinese clients whom decided to buy their shop’s products but mostly they just came here for fun or maybe in purpose to make the shop’s staff getting busy only. They would be too free... She and A Mouy needed to prepare many things in shop again after those Chinese clients left, work-hard but no any good result. They both seemed tired whiles not satisfied at all with this kind of clients but still kept smiling and talking with them.

My sister and A Muoy generally love joking and laughing, I saw they both acted happily… In fact, they today were so worried of their working performance; the selling’s result. Not many clients walked-in today and mostly are annoying Chinese. I remembered when I came back my office, it was 1:15 PM already; they just could sell and got money around 14 Dollars. They would be blamed by their hateful boss! They don’t really like their boss because they faced many problems and pressure from boss. If there’s less income, they both will be required to join in meeting room and get scolding. They very much want to move, still it is not so easy to get a stable job currently. So they always try to calm down and be patient to work there. Dealing with people, it would be seen as an easy one but in reality, it such a hard task if that people never care of their partner’s feeling. However, life is for struggling. Just keep fighting!

How cheerful they are! :P

I do love Raining!

National Road 5,

Phnom Penh, Cambodia

January 30, 2012

To my dear,

Hello from Cambodia! How have you been doing so far? Do hope you are keeping fine. Hay, this is my first letter to you! Do you think it is the ancient style for writing letter to friend so? lol, I’m feeling so too; however, I still want to write it to share something to this reader…

Today, in the morning was quite a nice cold morning which I would love to have and to see. That was raining! Hehehe…my favorite one! I left my house to work since 7:40 AM until at 8:10 AM, I just reached the work-place. Riding motor under the rain was so cold and we had to ride slower than usual, took much time in a cold atmosphere but that remained such a sweet one to me. I don’t know why rain-drop is highly powerful to me…still, I always feel fresh under the rain, feeling cold but I love feeling so. It’s a sharp environment to make me excited and shaking… Under the rain, if I’m sad, I will be immediately crying. After that, that sadness would be releasing… if I’m in a good emotion, I would even feel more and more romantic… I wonder how the sweetest it is if I could have a chance to get such a warm kiss under the rain. Do you think so??? :D

Of course, raining made me missing someone….that is…..you! I miss you my dear oversea friend! Hearing the rain drop just like hearing your voice which telling me he’s my man…Mr. RAIN! And he’s coming to visit me and satisfy me…hahahaha… I and you have been talking and sharing a lot about the topic of RAIN… I feel so strange….I think you just left Cambodia in a short time…just like a few weeks... but the exact one, you have gone for abroad several months already. Hmmm, I don’t know if I can get the same thing from you or not since we may value different things but I wanna let you know you are in the list of my good and best friends! So you deserve a missing one from me…

Short time we have been colleagues, short time we have met face to face and really short time we have been making friends…but you drew the meaning to me! Short time we have been together but I do hope that’s long time we would remember each other! 

Raining will always remind me of you! Miss you strangely this full day!

Good day,

Piseth ;)

you make me fresh, Rain!
