A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife
stayed home. He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed:
"Dear Lord: I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife
merely stays at home. I want her to know what I go through, so please allow
her body to switch with mine for a day. Amen.
God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish. The next morning,
sure enough, the man awoke as a woman. He arose, cooked breakfast for his
mate, awakened the kids, Set out their school clothes, fed them breakfast,
packed their lunches, Drove them to school, and stopped at the bank to make a
deposit, went grocery shopping, Then drove home to put away the groceries,
Paid the bills and balanced the checkbook.
Then it was already 1 P.M. and he hurried to make the beds, do the
laundry, vacuum, dust, and sweep and mop the kitchen floor. Ran to the
school to pick up the kids and got into an argumen t with them on the way
home.
Set out milk and cookies and got the kids organized to do their
homework. Then set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the
ironing.
At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for salad,
breaded the chops and snapped fresh beans for dinner. After dinner, he
cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher, folded laundry, bathed the kids, and
put them to bed. At 9 P.M. he was exhausted and, though his daily chores
weren't finished, he went to bed where he was expected to make love, which he
managed to get through without complaint.
The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said,
"Lord, I don't know what I was thinking. I was so wrong to envy my
wife's being able to stay home all day. Please, oh please, let us trade
back."
The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied, "My son, I feel you have
learned your lesson and I will be happy to change things bac k to the way
they were. You'll just have to wait nine months, though. You got pregnant last
night."

Choices We Make
A little something for us to go on.
Very good lesson for us toremember.....
READ THIS. LET IT REALLY SINK IN. THEN CHOOSE.
Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how hewas doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!" He was a natural motivator.If an employee was having a bad day, Michael was there telling the employeehow to look on the positive side of the situation.
Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Michael and asked him, "I don't get it!You can't be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?"Michael replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or ... you can choose tobe in a bad mood.I choose to be in a good mood."Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or...I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it.Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or... I can point out the positive side of life. I choose thepositive side of life."Yeah, right, it's not that easy," I protested."Yes, it is," Michael said. "Life is all about choices.
When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people affect your mood.You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line:It's your choice how you live your life."I reflected on what Michael said.
Soon here after, I left the Tower Industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.Several years later, I heard that Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications tower.After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Michael was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back.I saw Michael about six months after the accident.When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better, I'd be twins. Wanna see my scars?"I declined to see his wounds, but I did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place."The first thing that went through my mind was the well-being of my soon-to-be born daughter," Michael replied. "Then, as I lay on the ground,I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or...I could choose to die. I chose to live."
"Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked. Michael continued, "..the paramedics were great.They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read 'he's a dead man'.
I knew I needed to take action.""What did you do?" I asked."Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me," said Michael."She asked if I was allergic to anything. 'Yes, I replied' The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breathand yelled, 'Gravity'."Over their laughter, I told them, "I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead."
Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude... I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully.Attitude, after all, is everything.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry aboutitself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34.
Men Never Listen !!
On a flight to Chicago, a gentleman had made several attempts to get into the men's restroom, but it had always been occupied. The flight attendant noticed his predicament.
"Sir, she said, "You may use the ladies room if you promise not to touch any of the buttons on the wall."
He did what he needed to, and as he sat there he noticed the buttons he had promised not to touch. Each button was identified by letters: WW, WA, PP, and a red one labeled ATR. Who would know if he touched them? He couldn't resist.
He pushed WW. Warm water was strayed gently upon his bottom. What a nice feeling, he thought. Men's restrooms don't have nice things like this. Anticipating greater pleasure, he pushed the WA button. Warm air replaced the warm water, gently drying his underside. When this stopped, he pushed the PP button. A large powder puff caressed his bottom adding a fragile scent of spring flowers to this unbelievable pleasure.
The ladies restroom was more than a restroom, it is tender lovin pleasure.When the powder puff completed its pleasure, he couldn't wait to push the ATR button which he knew would be supreme ecstasy! Next thing he knew he was in a hospital as soon as he opened his eyes. A nurse was staring down at him with a smirk on her face. "What happened?!" he exclaimed.
"You pushed one too many buttons," replied the nurse.
"The last button marked ATR was an Automatic Tampon Remover. Your penis is under your pillow."

RICE & Its sugar content!!!
DON'T EAT TOO MUCH RICE
The human body was never meant to consume rice! You see, our genes have hardly changed in more than 30,000 years. However, our food choices and lifestyle have changed dramatically. The caveman would hardly recognize our food or way of life.
Caveman food was never cooked as fire was not yet tamed. Thus, he ate only those foods that you can eat without treatment with or by fire. He ate fruits, vegetables, fish (sushi anyone?), eggs, nuts and meat. Yes, even meat. You can even eat meat raw if you were starving in the forest. You have the necessary enzymes to digest meat.
However, rice, like wheat and corn, cannot be eaten raw. It must be cooked. Even if you were starving in the desert, you cannot eat rice in the raw form. This is because we do not have the system of enzymes to break rice down. You were never meant to eat rice. To make matters worse, you not only eat rice, but also make it the bulk of your food.
In some parts of Asia, rice forms up to 85% of the plate. Even if you take rice, keep it to a minimum. Remember, it is only for your tongue - not your body. Actually, rice and other grains like wheat and corn are actually worse than sugar. There are many reasons: Rice becomes sugar - lots of it
This is a fact that no nutritionist can deny: rice is chemically no different from sugar. One bowl of cooked rice is the caloric equal of 10 teaspoons of sugar. This does not matter whether it is white, brown or herbal rice. Brown rice is richer in fibre, some B vitamins and minerals but it is still the caloric equal of 10 teaspoons of sugar. To get the same 10 teaspoons of sugar, you need to consume lots of kangkong - 10 bowls of it. Rice is digested to become sugar. Rice cannot be digested before it is thoroughly cooked.
However, when thoroughly cooked, it becomes sugar and spikes circulating blood sugar within half an hour - almost as quickly as it would if you took a sugar candy. Rice is very low in the "rainbow of anti-oxidants" This complete anti-oxidant rainbow is necessary for the effective and safe utilisation of sugar.
Fruits come with a sugar called fructose. However, they are not empty calories as the fruit is packed with a whole host of other nutrients that help its proper assimilation and digestion. Rice has no fibre. The fibre of the kangkong fills you up long before your blood sugar spikes. This is because the fibre bulks and fills up your stomach. Since white rice has no fibre, you end up eating lots of "calorie dense" food before you get filled up.
Brown rice has more fibre but still the same amount of sugar. Rice is tasteless - Sugar is sweet. There is only so much that you can eat at one sitting. How many teaspoons of sugar can you eat before you feel like throwing up? Could you imagine eating 10 teaspoons of sugar in one seating?
Rice is always the main part of the meal - While sugar may fill your dessert or sweeten your coffee, it will never be the main part of any meal. You could eat maybe two to three teaspoons of sugar at one meal. However, you could easily eat the equal value of two to three bowls (20 - 30 teaspoons) of sugar in one meal.
I am always amused when I see someone eat sometimes five bowls of rice (equals 50 teaspoons of sugar) and then asks for tea tarik kurang manis! There is no real "built in" mechanism for us to prevent overeating of rice How much kangkong can you eat? How much fried chicken can you eat? How much steamed fish can you eat? Think about that! In one seating, you cannot take lots of chicken, fish or cucumber, but you can take lots of rice.
Eating rice causes you to eat more salt. As rice is tasteless, you tend to consume more salt - another villain when it comes to high blood pressure. You tend to take more curry that has salt to help flavor rice. We also tend to consume more ketchup and soy sauce which are also rich in salt. Eating rice causes you to drink less water. The more rice you eat, the less water you will drink as there is no mechanism to prevent the overeating of rice.
Rice, wheat and corn come hidden in our daily food. As rice is tasteless, it tends to end up in other foods that substitute rice like rice flour, noodles and bread. We tend to eat the hidden forms which still get digested into sugar. Rice, even when cooked, is difficult to digest Can't eat raw rice? Try eating rice half cooked. Contrary to popular belief, rice is very difficult to digest. It is "heavy stuff". If you have problems with digestion, try skipping rice for a few days.
You will be amazed at how the problem will just go away. Rice prevents the absorption of several vitamins and minerals. Rice when taken in bulk will reduce the absorption of vital nutrients like zinc, iron and the B vitamins. Are you a rice addict? Going rice-less may not be easy but you can go rice-less. Eating less rice could be lot easier than you think.
Here are some strategies that you can pursue in your quest to eat less rice: Eat less rice - Cut your rice by half. Barry Sears, author of the Zone Diet, advises "eating rice like spice". Instead, increase your fruits and vegetables. Take more lean meats and fish. You can even take more eggs and nuts. Have "riceless" meals. Take no rice or wheat at say, breakfast. Go for eggs instead. Go on "riceless" days - Go "western" once a week.
Take no rice and breads for one day every week. That can't be too difficult. Appreciate the richness of your food. Go for taste, colors and smells. Make eating a culinary delight. Enjoy your food in the original flavors. Avoid the salt shaker or ketchup. You will automatically eat less rice.
Eat your fruit dessert before (Yes! No printing error) your meals. The fibre rich fruits will "bulk up" in your stomach. Thus, you will eat less rice and more fruits.

Ngayong Nandito Ka
Unable to forced myself to sleep after a 4 hour sleep, i decided to watch a philipino movie early morning... although i'm not a big fan of it. I borrowed the vcd from someone for quite a while, returned it without watching but manage to copy it to my hard drive before returning :)The movie was directed by Jerry Lopez-Sineneng in a screenplay by Henry Quitain, Ngayong Nandito Ka (2003) takes everyone to Baguio, Philippines' summer capital where the culture is a variety of the ethnic and modern, and to Japan, the land of the rising sun. With a setting that dominated by bright daisies and roses, plus a climate that remains fresh and cold and breezy here's a story where all hearts and emotions will feel warm…with romance
The story is about Garie, short for Margaret (Kristine Hermosa) and Rocky (Jericho Rosales) were not just part of an up and coming band in the Baguio, they were in love. But their backgrounds are poles apart, Rocky from an old rich Baguio clan, Garie from a struggling little family. While preparing to go to Japan for a contractual gig, Rocky's family crisis intervened and they both had to endure the pain and reluctantly separate. They meet again after some two years, Rocky finds Garie now a fiance of another man, while Ga rie finds Rocky mature but still the loving man he's always been. Closed books re-open and old wounds hurt anew. Will their love stand the test of time or will feelings be strained? Yes of course they'll be together again. It's one of those predictable movies
Anyway i like the acting and story... very sweet. I read in a magazine that these two are a hot movie couple. They are actually couple in reality for 3 years but unfortunately their story didn't end like a cinderella story. Both are beautiful and handsome (personally i think he's cute not handsome). Well what do you aspect in a movie? They only put the handsome and pretty ones unless you are really good or funny!!
