Coffee -- Does it really helps?

Wednesday, April 22, 2009 | It is about...

I've been a coffee drinker since I was 4.
Yea, it's no typo and you didn't see it wrong, Four.
My father's mom first introduced coffee to me and immediately I took a liking towards coffee over chocolate drink.
Ever since then, the number of cups of coffee I consume per day increase along with my age.
At 18, I'm taking in 6 to 8 cups of coffee per day.
However, I've reduced my coffee intake these days because my dear is watching my diet.
So, I'm only taking coffee early in the morning and late at night before I sleep.
I think it has became a routine for me to consume coffee early in the morning, as my mom was a heavy coffee drinker too but she's converted to a green tea-er.
Although coffee doesn't work in keeping me awake but it's what I have to drink to get use in the morning, and also to get me to sleep at night.
Yes, you've read it right, I can't sleep without coffee.



*The Temptation*

Furthermore, it is proven that coffee doesn't keep oneself awake. Check this article out: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6422279.stm
If you're too lazy to read a bunch of text, I'll just copy and excerpt of it here:
"Those who drink a caffeinated drink first thing are no more alert than those who never consume one"

Another reason to consume more coffee is that coffee provides you with antioxidants.
What is antioxidants you ask? Well read this:
"Antioxidants help to fight against cancer and to give our bodies other beneficial health benefits. Most antioxidants are found in tomatoes, grains, fruits, and vegetables."

and coffee contains more antioxidants than many other drinks: (same website as above)
"What most people don’t know is that besides it rich taste it also has the ability to provide many healthful antioxidants than most other foods and drinks"

Well, hope this entry has helped out in whatever impression you've had about consuming coffee.

I'm stucked in between.. help!!

Monday, April 20, 2009 | It is about...

Scenario 1:

- My dear invited me out so Sunway
- She's coming with her bestfriend
- I have no transport, so I called my bestfriend along
- My bestfriend didn't talk to them much
- My dear got indirectly offended because my bestfriend was cold towards my dear and her bestfriend.
- However, my bestfriend and my dear bestfriend later on was talking alot.
- But my dear was still indirectly offended.

Scenario 2:
- Met up with my bestfriend and his girlfriend with my dear.
- Sat in the restaurant.
- Only me and my bestfriend talked.
- His girlfriend and my dear didn't talk at all.
- My dear was indirectly offended yet again now because my bestfriend didn't talked to her.

Base on Scenario 1:
- I've explained to my dear that Martin has high taste of girls.
- Not to say he doesn't talk with not-so-good-looking girls, it is just he takes time to get use to them. He do have some not-so-good-looking girls as friends. It takes time and a few more outtings.
- I tried explaining, Martin's personality is cold. He got alot of enemies in college, I'm sure he himself agrees on that. However, once you get to know him, he's talkative and helpful.

Base on Scenario 2:
- If my dear is angry till now just because Martin didn't talked to her, then I'm sure Martin's girlfriend is pretty angry with me too because I didn't talked to her as well. However, Martin's girlfriend is not, and I don't think she even cares whether did I talked to her or not because it is such a small matter.



I don't know how did I sounded like in the way I explained above, but I didn't explain with sarcasm or in any angered mood.
I'm using a calm tone expressing my explanation above.
I can't do much if my dear and Martin won't want to settles things, because I don't control them.
But I just want to tell both of you that I'm very stressed-out because of this, and I don't need extra stresses on-top of my already stressed work life.

Hope both of you understand, eventhough I know Martin is gonna say my stress is small potato, and my dear is gonna think that she has the right to be angry with Martin if she wants to.

I just need both of you to know that I'M REALLY STRESSED. I beg both of you to work things out...

This is how the day after my birthday is like...

Wednesday, April 15, 2009 | It is about...

It's my birthday yesterday.. I took the initiative to organize properly so I could make time to spend it with my beloved Dydy and also my best buddies and my mom's side family.

 

My birthday was on April 14th (Tuesday, yesterday).

So, I spent my time with my dear by staying over at her place on Monday night so that I'm able to celebrate it with her the moment the clock strikes 12am, April 14th.

She was happy, I was happy.

I spent April 14th with her till around 6.45pm before I had to be home to get ready for the dinner which my aunt already pre-arranged for me a week ago.

 

So, I was hoping that my dear would be understanding and be happy on my behalf since she and my aunt have a some complication.

I went out with my aunt, and surprisingly my aunt also invited 3 of my best buddies...

So, for me, I thought that all went well with both sides.

Since after the dinner, I called my dear, she sounds fine to me.

 

However, today is a different story... sighs...

I don't know why, but my dear seems to be in a bad mood.

She then told me that actually she mind that she wasn't invited to the dinner last night and she even called my 3 best buddies names... sighs...

I just don't understand...

If she wants to hate my aunt or whatever, so be it, because my aunt and her really have some complicated misunderstandings...

but why include my 3 best friends? what did they did?

sighs...

I don't know... I might as well do not have a birthday at all...

I should've wished on my birthday that I do not have a birthday.

 

Feel it in my shoes.. feel it. Feel what I am feeling today.

Husband Store

Wednesday, April 15, 2009 | It is about...

A store that sells husbands has just opened in New York City , where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates.


You may visit the store ONLY ONCE!

There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch.... You may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!

So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband.

On the first floor the sign on the door reads:

Floor 1 - These men have jobs and love the Lord.

The second floor sign reads:

Floor 2 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love kids.

The third floor sign reads:

Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, and are extremely good looking.
'Wow,' she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going. She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads:

Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead good looking and help with the housework.
'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!' Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:

Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads:

Floor 6 - You are visitor 4,363,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.
Watch your step as you exit the building, and have a niceday!

Please send this to all men for a good laugh and to all the
women who can handle the truth!

PMS Mood Swings...

Monday, April 13, 2009 | It is about...

Something which have been bugging me most is my dear's PMS mood swings...

I don't know how much patience more do I have to take it occasionally every month, but it seems like during these period of time, she gets agitated easily and I have to apologize uncountable amount of times.
Furthermore, there'll be times of HUGE argument if I run out of patience.

So, what is Menstrual Mood Swings?
here's some of the explanations which I found online:

I may not know how it feels to be a girl undergoing PMS but I can assure you nobody can understand what pressure and stress I'm undergoing. Definitely not the average stresses and pressures which normal 22 year old faces. If you say being a student is stressful, to me it's just child's play. How I wish I was stressing about assignment rather than the stuff which I'm stressing about now.

I just hope that my dear would be understanding enough to not show me her colors whenever she gets menstrual mood swings.

P1 WiMax Coverage Abnormalities or Just my luck?

Monday, April 13, 2009 | It is about...

I've been feeling weird about this.
Recently, P1 WiMax had been undergoing service upgrade.
Sounds like good news? well, not for me.
They say they are expanding their coverage area and so I was hoping that they'll finally cover my area but instead... I got this after my upgrade:



My area is the circled red-part of the map above. The area without coverage =.="
Before the upgrade, the highlighted red-part below wasn't in existance...


Therefore, even after the bloody upgrade, my area is left in a gap between the existing coverage area and the newly covered area... this sucks!! WTF!!

Knowing

Monday, April 06, 2009 | It is about...


It's been awhile since my last sane entry. Well, I've not much to blog about, just a review of a movie which I've recently watched.
I watched Knowing with my fellow colleauges after our company dinner at 1U and we went to grab this ticket last minute as the Shinjuku Incident was selling fast.
I've heard reviews from viewers and friends that this movie is not bad, so we decided to give it a try.

The sound and video effects were great and I've no complain about it accept the ending, but I would still watch it the second time if given the chance.

This movie holds come truth to it except the predicting the future and ending part. Watch it and you'll know what I mean.

All in all, I would recommend you to watch this movie if you've watch "The Day the Earth Stood Still" and liked it.

The next movie which I'm anticipating and have the same genre as Knowing and The Day After Tomorrow is -- 2012.
I've watched the trailer (2012 teaser trailer) and I'm really eager for it to be released.


There are a few rumors about 2012:
1) It is said  that the Mayan Calendar ends in the year 2012, 23rd December, and this show is about what will occur when that happens.

2)There is also a rumor that during December 21, 2012, our Solar System will align with our Galaxy(Milky Way) center.

3) Last but not least, there are prediction that our Solar System's Planet X (a.k.a Nibiru) will make a return to our Solar System causing gravitational disruption. The many facts about Planet X (Nibiru): http://yowusa.com/planetx/
