CHOCOHOLICS UNITE!!!!

Wednesday, January 18th, 2006

CHOCOLATE IS THE GOOD GIRL’S DRUG.  A happy pill in a bar, it makes us forget stressful routines, lousy partners and the deadliest of deadlines. chocolates makes us feel so good that we sometimes think it should be regulated.

aside from giving us ecstatic feeling which is better than seeing that guy we’ve been stalking for months, these sweet lil treats may be sort of aphrodisiacs and i don’t mean the kinky stuffs here.

how?

Chocolates release chemicals like phenylethylamine ( also called "love drug"0 in the brain that make us giddy and cause a similar feeling of being in love. chocs also give off endorphins which lessen pain and ward off depression, giving us that sugar high.

so whenever i fel down, depressed or so low of myself, i always have a dose of my chocolates whether it’s just aas simple as "adong or chocnut" or as expensive as lindt or toblerone or ferrero…i just have to have one bar to regain my sugar high…

i knw, i know its my addiction, but i can’t say that its so bad for you…

la lang just wanted to share with you this info… which i got from the lifestyle section of the PDI….

guys, this is a famous poem and a declaration of what is essential to one’s life… it is inspiring. especially for those who are hurting…. read on.

desiderata - by max ehrmann

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass.

Take kindly to the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.

Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
