Manuka Honey

There are 2 types of Manuka Honey:

1. Ordinary Manuka Honey with only the hydrogen peroxide antibacterial property, sometimes measured by NPA+(non peroxide active).
2. UMF Manuka Honey with both the natural hydrogen peroxide antibacterial property plus its own natural UMF antibacterial property, giving it increased antibacterial potency. A specialty honey identified by the name UMF. It is the preferred honey for wound dressing and other special therapeutic uses. 

UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) was first discovered by Dr Peter Molan of Waikato University's Honey Research Unit. UMF Manuka Honey contains a more powerful and more stable antibacterial property, called UMF, in addition to the hydrogen peroxide antibacterial property.   Studies are showing that the enhanced antibacterial qualities of UMF Manuka Honey give the honey special healing qualities.

Book Festival in Hong Kong

I went to Wan Chai’s Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center (HKCEC). The Popular’s Book Festival there is free for admission this year 2011. This event and another event Asia game show are both held in December at almost end of every new year. The Popular’s Book festival in Hong Kong had not allowed free admission when they were held in the past years.

This year 2011 was the first time the Popular’s book festival allowed free admission. Once arrived there, had a look around for all the different kind of things they have available there. For example, like different kinds and types of books and some others. There are even some CDs,VCDs and DVDs. At the end, bought a few things. Bought a Batman’s Batmobile owner manual guide. This is one of the happiest times. Afterwards, decided to meet someone we know for lunch at The Landmark . The foods and drinks at the food court tastes all right only not really bad or not really good. Later, took photos of some model with mountains, snow, trees, and trains and some others. But not the train models.

I feel happy today because I went to a Book festival, I have not been to one before and also got one of the favourite books out of many others that I really like.

My writing exam essay comments

I think that my writing exam, I have done all I can.  The writing exam essay looks really good also.  The only way is to write as much as possible and hopefully complete all four parts of an essay then I know that I have written a whole essay.  It doesn’t really matter too much if the essay is good or bad as long as I try to write more and faster.  By the time I have lots of words and all four parts or are finished.

This shows I have done my best for all essays that I write.  I feel it is really, really good that I study essays, know how to write four parts to finish a whole essay.  Have ideas given and thought of ideas and put all I know or learned about how to write essays together is the most important thing about writing essays.  I thought maybe it was not enough but the teacher already thought may be it was too much.
