You do know what is health point (HP) I am talking about, don't you? Even when you are not a gamer you'd probably know what HP literally means, wouldn't you? Still don't know? How about this:

yep, for you beginners, health point is like those hearts that resembles your life in a game. If you're attacked then you'd get hurt and your health decreases. Nonetheless, if you take some rest or consume some herbs, your health point will be restored. That's exactly the same in real life, but of course you'll really die when your HP is 0%, you're just an ordinary IB fighter, aren't you?

Okay, As soon as you read through this post, I will not guarantee that you'll be immortal........................BUT WORRY NOT, MY FRIENDS! The Chamber of Energy will reveal the secrets to maintain and increase HP to you restless IB fighters! I guarantee this will help you to live healthily despite of all the breakdowns you've encountered all through IB.

1. Eat what you need.
That is very true, ladies and gents. Eat what you need (it rhymes, by the way). If you notice, in certain games, different kinds of wounds or diseases are cured using specific herb or magical potion. If they consume the wrong potion or herb then the wound will not be cured, and the wrong potion will be useless and wasted. Now what's the connection with IB you said? Well... I have some known facts about IB students habits while trying to survive the IB and they're compiled right here!

- Many IB students eat so quickly during breakfast and lunch. Sometimes dinner. That's because they have some reports to print or undone homework to do. EVERYTHING IS DUE AFTER SNACK OR LUNCH OR AFTER SCHOOL.

- Many IB students skip breakfast or lunch or even dinner. Of course it's BECAUSE OF THE SAME REASONS.

- Many IB students do not get sufficient sleep after squeezing their brains out to do a certain homework or to write certain labs or to study for tests and quizzes. Therefore, to keep themselves alert, they often drank coffee in the morning, after school, and even at night when they repeat their miserable life cycle.

- NOT ONLY COFFEE. Some who are not into coffee rely on snacks or even heavy meals full of carbs. As for me... when I feel like I'm in serious mess (meaning all those homework and test are happening on the same day and that's tomorrow, plus I feel terribly sleepy), I will unconsciously go to the fridge, get the whole ice cream, carry it to my room, lock myself in with only ice cream, bed and laptop, and then I'll regret everything, including taking the IB I'll sometimes eat uncontrollably. Yeah, that's it.

- NOT ALL IB STUDENTS DON'T CARE ABOUT THEIR FOOD INTAKE, THOUGH. I once heard my friends having this conversation:
A: "Oh is that ******? (a brand of healthy snack) Can I have one? I heard it's non-cholesterol. Oh It has like *** (numerical amount) calories inside. That's the amount I need for the rest of the day."
B: "Yeah, of course. You know what? I've been eating this very delicious cake my mom gave me the other day and I realised I was overeating. The calories were over **** (numerical amount) and I might get fat."
A: "OMG me too! It was like, every time I want to eat something I checked the calorie amount and feel so regretful not being able to eat it. We have to do it because it's what we need. To get healthy!"

AND I WAS SITTING RIGHT THERE BESIDE THEM EATING GREASY GRILLED CHICKEN WITH RICE WITH THIS EXPRESSION:

I mean... why would they be overly conscious about the numerical figures? Can't they just eat without concerning about the aftereffect? Can't they just enjoy the food? (p.s. I am a food lover so...)

OH I ALMOST FORGET!

What are the skills to eat what you need?

A. Go for a regular health checkup, ask a doctor or nutritionist about your nutrient deficiency. Doctors and nutritionists are very skilled in identifying that, you know.
B. List down what food you should consume more or what food you should eat less.
C. A LITTLE CARBS WOULDN'T HURT.
D. A LITTLE FAT WOULDN'T HURT.
E. A LITTLE PROTEIN WOULDN'T HURT.
F. HOWEVER, TOO MUCH OF EITHER ONE OF THEM MAKES YOU ILL.

2. Exercise like mice
Another sentence that rhymes. The mice generally mean hamsters, but you know, rodents aren't slackers themselves so they will be enough.

Yeah, this sentence simply means what it means. In certain games, when the player level up, they gain more life or health points. Leveling up is not easy, the player needs to perform more, win more, defeat more enemies, and all these could be achieved by doing the action over and over again. The higher the level, the harder it is to increase health points. So, repetition of actions will be needed even more than the usual.

It's the same as IB. If you want to pass the test, practice from past papers. Once a day will be more than enough! If you want to increase HP, do some sports. Once or twice a week will do, don't you think? It's about time you burn those fats in your stomach. Oh, and burn your stress as well!

A random lazy IB student: "Wha.... but I can't do sports. I don't even have time to do my homework during the weekend."

Oh. Then what did you do?

A random lazy IB student: "What else? I sleep, eat and watch TV. Sooooo tired of studying."

HP: Probably 1.45%
















No wonder why your face is so fatigue. YOUR HP IS VERY LOW INDEED. I suggest you do this EMERGENCY HP INCREASING METHOD. It will not permanently increase your HP but it may get you re-energised for about 4 to 5 more hours. Now follow me closely:

A. BE HONEST
B. GET UP FROM WHEREVER YOU'RE SITTING OR SLEEPING ON. IMMEDIATELY.
C. STRETCH YOUR ARMS. STRETCH YOUR WAIST AND BACK.
D. STRETCH SOME MORE (THE SOUND OF JOINTS ARE VERY RELAXING).
E. GO TO THE NEAREST WATER SOURCE (BATHROOM OR SINK).
F. SPLASH YOUR FACE WITH COLD WATER.
G. YOUR HP IS NOW INCREASED BY 23%.

By now you should learn how to:
1. eat according to your needs
2. exercise regularly (academic wise or physical health wise).
3. THINK GAMING IS AN ART OF LIFE.
