5 reason why you should drink more water everyday

http://www.everynutrient.com/juicers.html

  • skin looking smooth and supple.
  • help you cut calories. A can of soda can have as many as 240 calories per serving.
    Drinking 1 or 2 of these each day is a recipe for gaining weight. Choosing to drink water
    instead is the calorie free way to quench your thirst.
  • help you distinguish thirst from hunger. If you allow your body to become dehydrated it will be difficult to discern whether that gnawing feeling in your stomach is a call for food or a call for water. And if you keep eating food when what your body really needs is water, you will gain weight.
  • help your think more clearly. Research has repeatedly shown that staying hydrated is necessary for the human brain, which is 85 percent water, to function at optimal levels.
  • help you feel better. Your body is about 75 percent water and 25 percent solid material. Doesn’t it make sense that you would need to drink water on a daily basis to ensure that your body has all the water it needs to perform at optimal levels. It is a mistake to believe that thirst is the only indicator of a need to drink water. Constipation, achy joints and fatigue are also signals that your body may be dehydrated.

a box full of kisses

http://www.indianchild.com/a_box_full_of_kisses.htm

the story goes that some time ago,a man punished his three years old daughter for wasting a roll of his gold wrapping paper. money was tight and he became infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box under a Christmas tree. nevertheless the girl brought the present to her father the next morning and said, "this is for you, daddy."
the man was embarrassed by his earlier over action, but his anger flared again when his found out the box was empty, he yelled at her,stating,"don't you know when you give someone a gift, there is supposed to be something inside? the little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried,"oh daddy, its not empty at all. i blew kisses into the box. there are all for you daddy."
the father was crushed. he put his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness.
only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child. it is told that her father kept that gold box by his bed for many years and whenever it was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.

MORAL OF THE STORY:

apple pie

http://www.myhomecooking.net/apple-pie/

today we have to find something that related to our course which is chemical engineering(biotechnology). then, the first thing that cross to my mind is how to make apple pie. apple pie is a part of almost American tradition.with its own way. why the apple pie is the favorite? the crumbliness of the shortening crust along with the flakiness of a butter crust, make it delicious. next, its scrumptious filling, the sweet vinegar and the cinnamon coating, then its melts in mouth making its more more yummy.

Make A Mother

By the time the Lord made mothers, He was into the sixth day working overtime. An Angel appeared and said "Why are you spending so much time on this one?" And the Lord answered and said, "Have you read the spec sheet on her? She has to be completely washable, but not elastic; have 200 movable parts, all replaceable; run on black coffee and leftovers; have a lap that can hold three children at one time and that disappears when she stands up; have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart; and have six pairs of hands."

The Angel was astounded at the requirements for this one. "Six pairs of hands! No way!" said the Angel.

The Lord replied, "Oh, it's not the hands that are the problem. It's the three pairs of eyes that mothers must have!"

"And that's on the standard model?" the Angel asked. The Lord nodded in agreement, "Yep, one pair of eyes are to see through the closed door as she asks her children what they are doing even though she already knows. Another pair in the back of her head are to see what she needs to know even though no one thinks she can. And the third pair are here in the front of her head. They are for looking at an errant child and saying that she understands and loves him or her without even saying a single word."

The Angel tried to stop the Lord "This is too much work for one day. Wait until tomorrow to finish."

"But I can't!" The Lord protested, "I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart. She already heals herself when she is sick AND can feed a family of six on a pound of hamburger and can get a nine year old to stand in the shower."

The Angel moved closer and touched the woman, "But you have made her so soft, Lord."

"She is soft," the Lord agreed, "but I have also made her tough. You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish."

"Will she be able to think?" asked the Angel.

The Lord replied, "Not only will she be able to think, she will be able to reason, and negotiate."

The Angel then noticed something and reached out and touched the woman's cheek. "Oops, it looks like You have a leak with this model. I told You that You were trying to put too much into this one."

"That's not a leak." the Lord objected. "That's a tear!"

"What's the tear for?" the Angel asked.

The Lord said, "The tear is her way of expressing her joy, her sorrow, her disappointment, her pain, her loneliness, her grief, and her pride."
The Angel was impressed. "You are a genius, Lord. You thought of everything for this one. You even created the tear!"

The Lord looked at the Angel and smiled and said, "I'm afraid you are wrong again. I created the woman, but she created the tear!"

friendship last forever

here is a poem that i just read from internet :

THE DUMMY

In that forgotten part of town
Where wasted hopes and dreams abound,
A wrinkled man with life near end,
In hopes to have at least one friend,
Fashioned bits of wood and things
And made a dummy run by strings.

He sat alone for hours on end,
Conversing with his only friend
And found delight within the fact
That he controlled it's every act.
He told it how he never had
A chance, since all his luck was bad
Although he'd tried so to succeed -
The dummy nodded and agreed.

And how his journeys in romance
Had never given him a chance,
And wasn't it a crying shame
That he was always held to blame
When everyone knew, oh so well,
That life is but a living Hell,
Controlled by lust and power and greed?
The dummy nodded and agreed.

With patience that would rival saints,
That dummy sat through all complaints
And, with each little expert tug,
He'd droop his head or bow or shrug
And give some comfort to the man
Who held his lifelines in his hand
And helped to fill a lonely need
When he just nodded and agreed.

Senility increased with time
As did the old man's phantomime,
And feverish fingers pulled with glee
The dummy's dance of misery.
They never left each other's side
Until the day both stopped and died.
We found them lying, hand in hand,
The dummy - and his wooden friend.

actually this poem is about friendship towards human being. everybody need friend in their life. without friend, our life will not cheer. no one will cheer us up. for me, without friend we will fell lonely. i can continue my life even i don't have someone special in my life but not if i don't have friend. this is because i can share everything with my friend but not with him. for me, friendship will not last forever.

different ages different humor

i thought that babies don't have humor in their life.however, after reading this article i realize that they also know about humor, funny things...on top of that, they also differ humor with us...

babies will give their respond when we tickling or raspberries. they do know that the funny thing is when we put diaper on our head or quack like a duck...

the best thing for toddlers, when we put something surprise such as peek-a-boo or tossing our them up into the air,they will laugh...they also know how to make us laugh when they put on our shoes and clomp around the house...

a perschooler is different with baby and toddler. for example, when we put horse picture that says moo, they will laugh because they know it is funny. they know how to arrange picture with true sound.they also become more aware of bodily functions...

children at school-age-kids know a little bit of simple jokes.basic wordplay,exaggeration and splastick will be incresingly

Where Is The Love

What's wrong with the world, mama
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the USA, the big CIAThe Bloods and The Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah
Badness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all
People killin', people dyin'Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek
Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above'
Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the loveThe love, the love
It just ain't the same, always unchangedNew days are strange, is the world insane
If love and peace is so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations droppin' bombs
Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
With the ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone
So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin'in
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover
The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the love, y'all
People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek
Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above'
Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love
The love, the love
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' our own direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids act like what they see in the cinema
Whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness in equality
Instead in spreading love we spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' downThere's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive to lovers bound
People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek
Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above'
Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)
sing with me y'allone world one world
we only got
one world, one world
thats all we got one world, one world
and somethin's wrong with it

http://www.kidsource.com/kidsource/content 2/obesity.html/

Before i read this article, i think obese children will be obese adult. However, its all wrong. It still can be cured if they do treatment earlier. They have to do physical activity, diet management and behavior modification. Parents should help their children by giving them support. For example give them a big clap if they manage to loss 1 kg for their weight. Parents also shouldn't let their children eating too many junk foods, fast foods, and so on. Nowadays, obesity among children is arising. This make me think that they way we eat, our dailies activities can influence our health. So we have to care about our healthy so that we will not to face any healthy problems in future.
