You Make Me Feel.... by Westlife

I've been trying to reach you

Cos I've got something to say

But you're talking about just nothin' at all

And you're slipping away

We were crying together

It was a long time ago

Before you walk out that door

And leave me this way

Just hear what I say

You make me feel

You make me real

For the rest of my days,

In so many ways You make me feel

I've been trying to leave you

Why should we go on like this?

But my heart can't breathe

When I hear you say

It's better this way

You make me feel

You make me real

For the rest of my days,I

n so many ways You make me feel

Ten thousand light years away from you

Keep thinking maybe it's time to let go

But by the end of the day

I still want to say "do you"?

You make me feel...

oh....

For the rest of my days,

In so many ways You make me feel ....

David... I really hope everything would be fine in the end...

Looking For Some Tips For Slimming !!

I found my body get more fatter and fatter lately...

dont know why... I dont eat much... ( well ... maybe just sometimes , but not every day )

just maybe less work out ... and my work is kinda easy... dont have to work a lot or something

maybe that's why... ><"

so Im rearching some tips for slimming my body...

and here it is... how to make your body slimmer and also healthy...

First thing is to assess your current eating habits. This isimportant because you need to know what’s not working. If your current eating habits are keeping you overweight, and you want to be slim, it figures that you need to changethose eating habits.

If something is not working, change it.

Assessing your current eating habits

Keep a record of your eating habits for a week.

The record should contain the following information:

What you are eating. How much you're eating. When you eat (note the times) – you want to know how far apart your meals and snacks are.. Why you're eating at those times – is it because you're hungry, or are you "comfort eating" ?

How you feel after eating – pleasantly satisfiedor bloated and stuffed.. How many glasses of water you drink each day

When you find out your current eating habits, you'll need to determine which habits are sabotaging your efforts to lose weight.

Those are the ones you want to change. More on that later.

Goal Setting

Determine what your weight goal is. Or you may prefer to monitor your progress in terms of your waistline or hip measurements. Whichever one suits you is best. Form a mental picture of yourself looking the way you want tolook. Goals are more powerful and empowering when we visualize them. Hold that mental picture in your mind at all times.

Action Plan

Now that you know what your ideal size is, you have a goal thatyou're working towards. You need to then determine a plan of action to help you achieve that goal. To help you decide on the right plan, bear in mind that eating should be a pleasure. Ask yourself the following questions:

Which nutritious foods do I enjoy eating ?

How soon after eating do I get hungry again?

Most adultsget hungry about 3 to 4 hours after eating a meal..

Do I eat only when I'm hungry? Hint: You should.. How can I stay full? Drink lots of water. Scientists recommend between 6 and 8 glasses of water daily. Your body needs it, and it helps you stay full.

With the answers to those questions in mind, form an action plan,and start a new daily record to help you keep track of your progress.

This new record should contain the same columns as your initial current habits record. This way you can monitor each improvement and celebrate accordingly.When deciding on which actions to take, you need to refer back to your initial assessment of your current eating habits. Decide which habits are preventing you from losing weight. Write downalternative habits that you want to cultivate, which willhelp you get slim.These new habits you want to form are now your "targets"– milestones on your way to your ideal body shape and size.

Taking Action

To form healthy eating habits, start with small changes. Don't make too many changes at once. Set yourself main targets, such as "I will drink 8 glasses of water each day", then set smaller targets to help you reach each main target.Using the example above, a small target could be "I will drink an extra glass of water after each meal". When you break downyour targets, they don't seem so daunting. They seem easily achievable, so you feel encouraged to stick to them.Decide on the foods you will be eating regularly. Make sure they're foods you enjoy. Eat small portions, about 5 or 6 times each day, insteadof three large meals. This helps keep your metabolic rate high, and helps you lose weight naturally.

How to stay motivated to continue eating healthily

1. Believe that you can do it, and accept responsibilityfor your health and for the way your body looks.

2. Reward yourself each time you successfully complete a small target. Celebrate each small success – don't wait until you've lost tons of weight before you reward yourself. Make the journey enjoyable by treating yourselfeach time you make progress.

3. Keep in mind what you hope to achieve –

remind yourself of how lovely and healthy your body is becoming each day as aresult of your new eating habits. Remember, each small step in the right direction is bringing you closer toyour main target.With a clear goal in mind, a feasible action plan and tips to help you stay motivated, you should find it easy to form habitsthat keep you slim and healthy at the same time.Here's to your new healthy eating habits!

Chocolate V.S. Your Sex Life ***

From the time the first coca beans were harvested by the Mayans,

there has been the belief that chocolate has a euphoric

impact on the body's senses.

The conquistadores saw the Emperor Montezuma of the Aztecs consuming a large quantity of cocoa in the form of a beverage called chocolatl before entering his harem.

The invading Spaniards spread the Emperor's belief

that cocoa was an aphrodisiac and brought it to Europe.

This belief was also shared by one of history's most famous lovers, Giacomo Casanova.
Since then, the use of chocolate as part of the mating ritual has been firmly established.

More recently it has been shown that not only does chocolate increase the sexual appetite but also produces a sense of elation similar to an orgasm.

Chocolate contains phenylethylamine,

a naturally occurring amino-acid which some consider to have

aphrodisiacal effects and is even said to be able to "cure" hangovers.

Phenylethylamine is a substance which is released naturally

in the human body when you're in love.

Other stimulants present in chocolate are dopamine and serotonin,

which alleviate pain and encourage a good mood.

Serotonin produces feelings of pleasure in a similar way to sunlight.

Chocolate also contains theobromine, a chemical stimulant frequently confused with caffeine, but has very different effects on the human body.

It is a mild, lasting stimulant with a mood improving effect.

Its presence is one of the causes for chocolate's mood-elevating effects.

Despite the fact that the relationship between sex and chocolate

can't be proven with 100% certainty,

the scientific evidence combined with behavioral studies provides a compelling argument for cocoa's impact on our sexual drive -

it is convincing enough for chocolate to have become a part of your daily diet!

Best Of Me --- Daniel Powter

Im in love with this song lately ~ sooo nice !!!

so ~ wanna share with you ~~

I was made the wrong way
Won’t you do me the right way

Where you gonna be tonight

Cause I won’t stay too long

Maybe you’re the life of me

When you talk to me it strikes me

Won’t somebody help me

Cause I don’t feel too strong

Was it something that I said
Was it something that I did

Or the combination of both that did me in

You know I’m hoping you’ll sing along
Although it’s not your favorite song

Don’t want to be there when there’s nothing left to say

You know that some of us spin again
And when you do you need a friend

Don’t want to be there when there’s nothing left for me

And I hate the thought of finally being erased
But baby that’s the best of me
Everything’s behind you
But the hopeless signs beside you
I’m living in the moment
Have I wasted all your time

And I hate the thought of finally being erased

But baby that’s the best of me

Baby that’s the best of me
And I hate the thought of finally being erased

Baby that’s the best of me

*** A Short Report ***

Sleep to be Sexy, Slim and Smart

" Be smart, feel sexy and become slimmer with a good night's sleep "

To some people, the need for sleep is viewed as a sign of weakness.

It's the new macho - and women, especially, are buying into it.

But while you're asleep, every system in your body is being fine-tuned, reset, cleaned up and restored to its optimal operating mode by an army of molecular troubleshooters.

New things you have learned are being processed, memories are being organised and stored, and the immune system is building a new contingent of natural killer cells to fight off battalions of infectious agents.

Growth hormone is being produced to repair damaged tissue (in adults)

or build new tissue (in children) and to block the corrosive effects of stress.
When you sleep well, you're in peak operating condition.

When you don't, you feel groggy and none of your systems are firing on all cylinders.

You don't think straight, make good decisions, remember where you parked the car or feel like making love.
The resulting chemical glitches will put you on the fast track for heart disease, stroke, diabetes and even obesity.

friends V.S. your lover

this is a complicated issue between frineds and your lover.... why do I say so.... because....

there's a thing just happening to my best friend " Sammi " ...

I dont know whether he and she will work it out for forever or not.... ( we'll see anyway... !! )

Could Your Perfume Be Ageing You?

potions, lotions, make-up and clothes all help us look younger

but did you know that perfume can take years off you?

here's the science to prove it ~

Are you the type who automatically categorises a scent by age bracket, like "granny","mumsy","girly", or "baby" ? You are not alone !!

according to a recent study on the effects aroma has on our perception on age, certain smells can have a radical influence on a person's judgement.

how we decide a person's age is more of a general feeling based on a combination of things.

some things are obvious, such as how a person speaks, walks and dresses, but there're also the "subliminal indicators", which take into account how people smell.

its a bit like how we sniff leftovers i the fridge to determine whether or not they're still safe to eat .

"the people smelling pink grapfruit reduced the one's real ages by an average of six years "

so pink grapefruit is a kind of olfactory cosmetic surgery.

the reason for the change in perception isnt clear.

some experts think the smell of pink grapefruit is so stimulating that it triggers a positive mindest.

another possibility is that the smell of grapefruit affects the parietal lobe----

a part of the brain that helps us gauge things such as size,spatial awareness and the aesthetics of age.

but the bottom line is, if you want to appear younger to others, wear a perfume with pink grapefruit in it !!

"Think about the effect of someone peeling an orange in a stuffy train carriage... it instantly RECHARGE THE AIR !! "

The Truth About Chocolate and Your Skin~

Here's a formula for sensational skin: cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen, and . . . chocolate?

You heard right. When eaten, flavanol-rich cocoa, the main ingredient in dark chocolate, improves skin's texture, thickness, hydration, and blood flow.

It may even boost your skin's defense against the sun by up to 25 percent! How?

It packs serious antioxidant power. Just don't overdo it -- chocolate is high in fat and calories, too. And you still need to wear sunscreen every day.

Chocolate's good for your skin? It's true! Antioxidant compounds in cocoa, called flavanols, improve artery health by boosting blood flow, and that boost may be good for your skin, too. Researchers discovered this chocolate benefit in a study of women who consumed half a cup of cocoa (containing 329 milligrams of flavanols per serving, the amount in a 3-½ ounce serving of dark chocolate) daily for 12 weeks. At the end of the study, the women experienced less skin dryness, scaling, and roughness compared to the beginning of the study. Also, their skin was thicker, exhibited improved blood flow, and was even more resistant to sun damage.

Pretty amazing. Still, don't toss your sunscreen and indulge in mass quantities of chocolate. Consume the sweet in moderation and apply sunscreen every day when you'll be outdoors for 20 minutes or more. For more skin tips, take the RealAge Skin Care Assessment for personalized advice and recommendations.

Tips for Chocolate Lovers

To get the most bang for your bite:

■ Choose dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.

■ Enjoy chocolate in small portions a few times a week. An ounce or two is a sensible serving.

■ Check the label. Avoid chocolate made with palm or coconut oils or any oil that has been hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated.

■ Don't drink milk with your chocolate. Studies show that milk may inhibit the body's ability to absorb the antioxidants.

Top 10 Foods For A Good Night's Sleep

The secret to getting a solid 7 to 8 hours? About 90 minutes before you want to nod off, head for the kitchen and make yourself a sleepy-time snack. Keep it light (around 200 calories), so you don’t overload your digestive system. And include one or two foods from the list below. All help to relax tense muscles, quiet buzzing minds, and/or get calming, sleep-inducing hormones -- serotonin and melatonin -- flowing. Yawning yet?

→ Bananas -- They’re practically a sleeping pill in a peel. In addition to a bit of soothing melatonin and serotonin, bananas contain magnesium, a muscle relaxant.

→ Chamomile tea -- Chamomile is a staple of bedtime tea blends because of its mild sedating effect, which makes it the perfect natural antidote for restless minds and bodies.

→ Warm milk -- It’s not a myth. Milk has some tryptophan, an amino acid that has a sedative-like effect, and calcium, which helps the brain use tryptophan. Plus, there’s the psychological throwback to infancy, when a warm bottle meant "relax, everything’s fine."

→ Honey -- Drizzle a little in your warm milk or herb tea. Lots of sugar is stimulating, but a little glucose tells your brain to turn off orexin, a recently discovered neurotransmitter that’s linked to alertness.

→ Potatoes -- A small baked spud won’t overwhelm your gastrointestinal tract as it clears away acids that can interfere with yawn-inducing tryptophan. To up the soothing effect, mash the potato with warm milk.

→ Oatmeal -- Oats are a rich source of sleep-inviting melatonin, and a small bowl of warm cereal with a splash of maple syrup is cozy -- and if you’ve got the munchies, it’s filling, too.

→ Almonds -- A handful of these heart-healthy nuts can send you snoozing because they contain both tryptophan and a nice dose of muscle-relaxing magnesium.

→ Whole-wheat bread -- A slice of toast with your tea and honey will release insulin, which helps tryptophan get to your brain, where it’s converted to serotonin and quietly murmurs "time to sleep."

→ Turkey -- It’s the best-known source of tryptophan, credited with all those Thanksgiving naps. But that’s actually modern folklore. Tryptophan works when your stomach’s basically empty rather than overstuffed and when there are some carbs around rather than tons of protein. But put a lean slice or two on some whole-wheat bread midevening and you’ve got one of the best sleep-inducers in your kitchen.

Stroopwafel !! so sweet ~!!

recently... I had many stroopwafels !! love it sooo much !!

so yummy ~ so sweet ~

and I even doubt about something....

does it cantain some kinda drugs or something??

so it make me feel that I cannot get rid of it when I have it... !!

true !! when I had one piece of them... I would want to have another piece....

and just couldnt stop eating it !!
my friend Sammi bought me two pack of stroopwafel...

just about one week... I already finished both of them

hahaha kinda terrible... because its fatty .... ><"

well... my friend Sammi will go to Holland again soon ~

I probably will ask her to buy me some back ～　LOL

dont wanna care about the fat or something

just eager to eat more ~!!

here's the recipe I found ...

Ingredients
1 teaspoon instant yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 pound unsalted butter
1/3 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
1 rounded tablespoon ground cinnamon (...don't even be tempted to use less)
3 cups flour (...more or less, depending on other moisture in the mix)
1-2 eggs (...how small are they? ...how much richer do you want the wafels to taste?) Proof yeast in 3 tablespoons water with 1 teaspoon sugar until bubbly. Beat butter until light, adding sugar, salt and cinnamon. Mix in the yeast mixture, flour and egg(s) and knead or beat well. Set in a warm place for about an hour. It will not look like it's rising much; don't worry. Meanwhile, make the syrup (stroop).

syrup
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 cup Karo light syrup
7/8 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup butter Heat cinnamon, syrup and sugar on stove and cook slowly until thickened a bit (about 10 minutes).Remove from heat and beat in butter.

Should thicken as it cools, but still be slightly warm and thin enough to spread easily. If it cools too much, reheat gently; if it thickens too much, add a bit of liquid.

Method

Heat wafel iron and oil lightly only once. Using scoop to measure, place dough in center of heated wafel iron and bake for one minute (no longer, or you'll risk burning them). When done, remove from iron, place flat on counter and immediately slice wafel horizontally into two thin wafers, using the sharp fillet knife. Spread syrup on one cut surface, reassemble pressing gently but firmly, and trim to a uniform shape with the 3" cookie cutter. Cool, at least slightly, flat on a rack before eating.

The Best Morning Juice Choices To Start Your Day Off Right

It's probably already a part of your morning routine – you reach into the fridge and pour yourself a nice, refreshing glass of juice. If you're like most people, the juice in your fridge is OJ. But did you know that there are lots of other juice choices that could be pouring many more nutritional benefits into your glass?

Top 5 Morning Juice Choices
Concord Grape Juice: You've heard about the French Paradox and the health benefits red wine offers. Red wine might not be the ideal way to start off your morning, but you can get the same benefits by drinking a glass of concord grape juice. Concord grape juice ranks the highest in antioxidant activity among 13 juices tested, according to a study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry in March 2007.

Wild Blueberry Juice: Wild blueberry juice also packs a serious antioxidant punch. The USDA's database of antioxidant values for various foods places blueberry juice at the top of the list among more than a dozen juices tested, and wild blueberries have been shown to have even more antioxidant capacity than cultivated blueberries. Blueberries also have anti-inflammatory properties.

Cranberry Juice: A new study from Tufts University and Boston University suggests that two servings of light cranberry juice cocktail can increase artery dilation and blood flow immediately after consumption because of the natural flavonoids cranberry juice contains. The study also suggests that cranberries may have beneficial effects on cholesterol, blood pressure, and the prevention of blood clots, all risk factors for heart disease. Since cranberries are naturally tart, most cranberry juice products are indeed "juice cocktail" with added sugar. Choose "non added sugar" juice if possible.

Cloudy Apple Juice: "Cloudy" apple juice is a form of this popular morning juice that contains more apple solids that the usual clear kind. The extra apple solids mean that cloudy juice has up to four times more polyphenols, a group of antioxidant plant compounds, than clear juice. And in a study reported in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture in January 2007, cloudy juice was shown to be a more effective "scavenger" of harmful free radicals.

Fortified Orange Juice: If you prefer to stick with the old stand-by - OJ - look for a kind that'd fortified with calcium, or plant sterols, which help lower cholesterol. There are many different options available, so shop around until you find an orange juice that packs maximum nutritional punch while getting your morning off to a sunny start.

I was Late this morning... ><"

I was late going to work this morning !! I couldnt image that just happened to me !!

because its the very first time that I was late for working... it just never happened...

I set up the alarm clock last night... and I trusted my alarm clock ... thought it would wake me up ...!! but it didnt... >－<" luckily , one of my coworker who knocked my door when she was going to work... and I just got a big shock when she knocked my door... !!

she said..." hey are you still sleeping ??!! get up !! quick!! " and I just jumpped down from the bed and did every preparation quickly... then went to work ... ( luckily my work place very near to my house ... just 2 minutes by walking ^^" or I will get troublesome anyway)

I was surprised this morning and seemed its a warning to me ....

I will be more careful about this then... I just tested my alarm clock and found the sound was too small maybe that's why...

and I also set it up again... hopefully it will work tomorrow .... I think I probably wont sleep very well tonight... hahaha

Olvera Street

I went to Olvera Street when I was in LA
Olvera Street is the birthplace of the City of Los Angeles, otherwise known as El Pueblo Historic Monument. The colorful village features 27 historic buildings with a traditional Mexican style plaza area. Wander around the marketplace and shop for souvenirs including handcrafted , Mexican wares which are typical of old Mexico.
Stroll through this beautiful street and stop for the popular taquitos or tacos at the outdoor cafes. Olvera Street also offers a variety of traditional authentic Mexican cuisine, with delicious enchiladas, mole and other native dishes.
On weekends you can enjoy outdoor entertainment by strolling bollero musicians, Mariachis music and performances by Aztec Indians and folkloric dancing.

you can find many tranditional stuffs which are representative such as hat, mask, leather stuffs,

food, snacks...ect~ and something religious ... ^^"

I really like there ~ very Mexican ~ havent been to Mexico yet ...

but I guess I will go one day~

I love mexican food and there are many things which are colorful ~ I like colors !!

guess its their style ~ and especially the big hat !! very mexican !! haha

so... I tried to wear it on ~

I bought a painting which is really nice !!

and the mexican woman told me ...

LOS RANCHEROS means COUNTRY PEOPLE !! ^__^

Wetzel's Pretzels

when I was in LA, I found this pretzel shop ~ it really caught my eyes !!

I love pretzels !! and this shop has many flavors !! this one is pepperoni twist!!

it looks like having a pizza~ its really yummy ~ I wanted to try Jalabeño twist, but when I found that they had this flavor... its too late... because I already ordered one...

>－<"

I always wanna have something spicy so... ><" and now... Im back ...

I dont have chances to try it anyway...

they not only sell pretzels but also hotdogs,drinks ~

the pretzels they sell is soft one not like the vendors' ~

different tast and the feeling of chewing

I like both anyway... just this kinda shop which serve more different options~

its good !! even its more expensive then the vendors' one... but its worthy !!

Fountains Of Bellagio

Lombard Street ~ part of my trip in SFO

Lombard Street is located in the Russian Hill district, its known as " the crookedest street in the world" !! The steep, hilly street was created with sharp curves to switchback down the one-way hill past beautiful Victorian mansions. The street is paved with bricks and is an amazing site to see as demonstrated by the photos below. The street zigzags around beautiful flowers and shrubs and offers a nice view of the day ~ there are also stairways on either side of the street for pedestrians... and the descent begins at Hyde Street ~

when you are at the top of the hill, you can catch your breath and enjoy the view and the

people-watching~ all of that was amazing for me !

its really cool and I think when you see that you must have the same feeling with me !!

Im Back !!

Im back !! took the midnight flight and passed 12 hours plus bus 4 hours and waiting time 2 hours ... finally I got home at noon !!

almost didnt have sleep on the plane and bus... its like over 24 hours awake... Im now feeling kinda tired.... didnt use computer for quite a while ... so, just got online and checked my mail box... " !! wow too many mail didnt read yet !! " that is the first reaction when I opened my gmail !! I finally done it !!

the whole trip was good , just felt very rush some days ><"

that's why I dont like traveling with a group !! but I couldnt anything but accept it , coz its part of my credit I gotta pass it of course !! (also its my graduation trip)

anyway... now I just wanna sleep for couple of hours ...

really tired now my eyes are telling me that they need some rest !! hahaha
