I think I'm in love...
Cuddling her in my arms has been my greatest joy lately. I love it when she steals kisses from me, when she looks at me w those adoring eyes, when she jumps up and stretch her hand onto my tummy with that innocent look...
Yes, I'm in love with Bebe~

The Chinese Zodiac Astrology is ancient, interesting, accurate and loved by millions across the world. The Chinese Zodiac is based on cyclic concept of time : a cycle of 12 years, repeated again and again. The 12 Years are associated with 12 Celestial Animals : Rat (or Mouse on Mongoose), Ox (or Buffalo or Bull or Cow), Tiger, Rabbit (or Hare or Cat), Dragon, Snake (or Serpent), Horse, Goat (or Sheep or Ram or Lamb), Monkey, Rooster (or Hen or Cock or Chicken or Phoenix), Dog and Pig (or Boar or Hog). The animal names occasionally differ with the Oriental Country they originate. The Chinese Yearly Horoscopes are basically built around these 12 Animal Signs.
Your Chinese Astrological Zodiac Animal Sign is directly based on the Chinese Lunar Year of Birth that you were born. The Chinese New Year is mobile and could start anywhere between 21st January and 20th February, depending upon the year. If your Date of Birth falls into any of the following Chinese Lunar Years, then, because you are born in the Year of the Rat (or Mouse or Mongoose), you are symbolically identified by your Celestial Animal, the “Rat (or Mouse or Mongoose)” :

Enjoy the Annual Forecasts and learn about the suggested Feng Shui Remedies that you may need for the coming New Chinese Lunar Year 2009 : Ji Chow, Year of Yin Brown Earth Ox (or Yin Brown Earth Bull or Yin Brown Earth Buffalo or Yin Brown Earth Cow) :
CAREER
An year of promising Career Luck but that which requires sustained efforts and a lot of team spirit. This is not the time for any major changes, so try and postpone your plans for any job switch or business expansions, unless absolutely necessary. There will be some challenges to be met and demands that need to be satisfied in the working environment - you can come out of it unscathed if you move along cordially, take the criticisms constructively and work really hard. Accept the guidance offered and take heed of the advice of the experienced. Look around you and pay good attention to the internal office politics and win over the enemies with your natural charms. Stay away from gossipers. Do not aim too high, you might collapse. Many of you will also take to learning new skills. Joint ventures and partnership business stand to gain more than solo performances - an additional bonus or more attractive incentive will motivate your work force to give better results. If you are employed, cooperate with your colleagues, subordinates and superiors to increase your chances of promotion and increment. Be on guard against vile persons - wear the Ankh Protection Pendant and display the statue of Chung Kwei for protection from the enmity of internal office politics. For boosting success, the employed may install the Monkey on Horse or Rat riding on Dragon Head Turtle statue and carry a set of 3 Rising Dragon Coins. The self-employed may keep the Frog escorted by the Turtles Trio and carry a set of 3 Rising Dragon Coins. This year, the females attract better luck than the males.
MONEY
Good Money Luck. Some of you will make substantial financial gains from a long distance journey. Earlier investments will pay significant revenues. Use the income wisely and do not spend blindly. Save up for the rainy days that are sure to follow. Avoid short term investments and carefully plan for the long term ones. While some of you might be blessed with unexpected, unconventional monetary benefits, most of you have very unstable Windfall Luck, so it might not be wise to try gambling like lotteries, share markets, etc. To improve upon it, inaugurate the statue of either Tsai Shen Poh (Authority of Unconventional Wealth Luck) or the Charging Wealth Bull with Treasure Cart. To cut down the heavy expenses, keep a set of 3 Four Heavenly Kings Coins. If you manage to trim down your expenses and save up, many of you will purchase a new asset.
HEALTH
Excessive gastronomic pleasures or alcohol or cigarettes will result in bad health and bad spirits throughout the year. You are also cautioned against over indulgence in social partying. With a weak immune system, you are more prone to cold, flu, etc. Sudden illness due to infections are highly possible. Always pay attention to your personal hygiene and avoid visiting the sick and hospitals where contagious diseases can be found. Be careful when you take the stairs or reach for high places. Drive carefully and avoid risky and adventurous sports like mountain climbing or water diving. Some of you may land in very uncomfortable surroundings and sticky situations leading to a great deal of uneasiness. Keep a tight control over your diet and constantly check your blood pressure. Problems in blood circulation and intestines are quite possible. Injuries in face or minor surgeries might be needed for some of you. Try and pre-empt the destined bloodshed by donating blood. You may also perform the honourable deed of liberating animals or birds. Save animals whose life are in danger, pay for their liberty and release them to freedom. To gain a stronger health luck, install the statue of the Healing Medicine Buddha or Sau with Ma Xin and carry a set of 3 Sau Health Coins always with you.
LOVE
Excellent Romance Luck this year. The married will enjoy sexual bliss but also need to cement the relationship with the spouse with a great deal of mutual trust. Gossips and rumours by people around you will create high stress in family life. Holidaying will help. Singles will readily find new relationships but will be frustrated with their inability to decide. For making a right choice, seek help by displaying the statue of the Prosperous Golden Wedding Couple on Horse.
STUDIES
Focus and concentration are a problem for you right now, adding to the new, unfamiliar study environment. Cut down your social circle to size and avoid spending too much time with your friends. Natural biological changes coupled with an adventurous spirit will make you think of a rebellion. Shun it. Discipline yourself with the statue of NaZhou with Dragon. For improving exam luck and gaining more marks, display the statue of Pagoda carrying Dragon Head Turtle and wear the Talisman for Knowledge.

challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.
I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.
She said, 'Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I'm eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?'
I laughed and enthusiastically responded, 'Of course you may!' and she gave me a giant squeeze.
'Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?' I asked.
She jokingly replied, 'I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids...'
'No seriously,' I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.
'I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!' she told me.
After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake.
We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized listening to this 'time machine' as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.
Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I'll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the podium. As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her three by five cards on the floor.
Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the microphone and simply said, 'I'm sorry I'm so jittery. I gave up beer for Lent and this whiskey is killing me! I'll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know.'
As we laughed she cleared her throat and began, ' We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing.
There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.
We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it!
There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.
If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old. If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight.
Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. Have no regrets.
The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.'
She concluded her speech by courageously singing 'The Rose.'
She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives. At the year's end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago.
One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.
Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in tribute to the wonderful woman who taught by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be.
When you finish reading this, please send this peaceful word of advice to your friends and family, they'll really enjoy it!
These words have been passed along in loving memory of ROSE.
REMEMBER, GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY. GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL. We make a Living by what we get. We make a Life by what we give.

Sleep heals
Laughter is not the best medicine. Sleep is.
Rajen M.
Thu, Dec 27, 2007
NST
Sleep is the natural state of rest observed in the animal kingdom. It is seen in all mammals and birds, and in many reptiles, amphibians and fish.
In humans, other mammals, and a substantial majority of other animals, regular sleep is necessary for survival. While sleep is essential for survival, it remains a mystery. Where is consciousness while you sleep?
When you understand the benefits it confers, you will easily appreciate that laugher is not the best medicine -- sleep is! Unlike sleep, laugher is only seen in humans and some primates.
In 1913, French Scientist Henri Pieron authored a book entitled Le probleme physiologique du sommeil. It was the first text to examine sleep from a physiological perspective. This work is usually regarded as the beginning of the modern approach to sleep research.
Dr Nathaniel Kleitman, now known as the "Father of American sleep research," began work in Chicago in the 1920s questioning the regulation of sleep and wakefulness and of circadian rhythms. Kleitman's crucial work included studies of sleep characteristics in different populations and the effect of sleep deprivation. In 1953 he and one of his students, Dr Eugene Aserinsky, made the landmark discovery of rapid eye movement (REM) during sleep.
In the past, the benefits of sleep were often ignored. We are just beginning to understand the importance of sleep to overall health and well-being. In fact, when people get less than six or seven hours of sleep each night, their risk for developing diseases begins to increase.
Here is a list of some of them:
- Your heart will be healthier if you get between seven and nine hours of sleep each night. This helps relax the internal systems and dampen any stress of the day before.
- People working the late shift have a higher risk for breast and colon cancer. Researchers believe this link is caused by differing levels of melatonin in people who are exposed to light at night.
Light exposure reduces the level of melatonin, a hormone that both makes us sleepy and is thought to protect against cancer. Melatonin appears to suppress the growth of tumors. Be sure that your bedroom is dark to help your body produce the melatonin it needs.
- Stress is also caused by sleep deficiency. It gets worse if the stress is prolonged. The body's functions are put on high alert. This causes an increase in blood pressure and an increase in the production of stress hormones.
The stress hormones also, unfortunately, make it harder for you to sleep. You are in a dangerous loop. Stress hormones when they increase disproportionately can also severely disrupt delicate hormonal balances which speed up disease processes and the aging process.
- Alertness is the result of a good night's sleep. Sleep energises you. Being active increases your chances of another good night's sleep. It is not just you being alert. All your internal systems like your immune systems are also more alert and alive.
- Memory consolidation occurs during sleep.While your body may be resting, your brain is busy processing your day, making connections between events, sensory input, feelings and memories. Your dreams and deep sleep are an important time for your brain to make memories and links. Getting more quality sleep will help you remember and process things better.
- Sleep also helps to lose weight. People with less than seven hours of sleep per night are more likely to put on weight. It seems that the lack of sleep impacts the balance of hormones in the body that affect appetite. The hormones ghrelin and leptin, important for the regulation of appetite, have been found to be disrupted by lack of sleep.
- Napping during the day is not only an effective and refreshing alternative to caffeine, it can also protect your health and make you more productive. A study of 24,000 Greek adults showed that people who napped several times a week had a lower risk for dying from heart disease.
People who nap at work have much lower levels of stress. Napping also improves memory, cognitive function and mood. Daytime naps, what is sometimes called "power naps", was the success secret of president Ronald Reagan.
Sleep reduces your risk of depression. Sleep affects many of the chemicals in your body, including serotonin. People with a deficiency in serotonin are more likely to suffer from depression. You can help to prevent depression by making sure you are getting the right amount of sleep. Indeed, difficulty in falling asleep and staying asleep is one of the causes of depression.
- Sleep heals. Everything slows or shuts down. Sleep is a time for your body to repair damage caused by stress, ultraviolet rays and other harmful exposures. It is time to remove toxins accumulated during the day. It is time to "sort out" memories of the day.
Your cells produce more protein while you are sleeping. These molecules form the building blocks for cells, allowing them to repair damage. Sleep heals a headache or a common cold.
It is easy to fall asleep and it cost nothing. You have to sleep everyday. It is healthy for you.

雨 不停落下来
花 怎么都不开
尽管我细心灌溉
你说不爱就不爱
我一个人 欣赏悲哀
爱 只剩下无奈
我 一直不愿再去猜
钢琴上黑键之间
永远都夹着空白
缺了一块 就不精采
*紧紧相依的心如何
Say goodbye
你比我清楚还要我说明白
爱太深会让人 疯狂的勇敢
我用背叛自己 完成你的期盼
把手放开不问一句
Say goodbye
当作最后一次对你的溺爱
冷冷清清淡淡 今后都不管
只要你能愉快
心 有一句感慨
我 还能够跟谁对白
在你关上门之前
替我再回头看看
那些片段 还在不在
