My Addiction

Nope. I'm not yet that addicted to it, but I do crave for it a lot...You can't blame me, it's soothing, it gives me great feeling, it's yummy and it quenches my thirst. Well, yeah I'm talking about my "very-hard-to-quit" softdrink habit. I used to take in softdinks everyday. Sometimes, I can even consume up to a liter of it in a day. I found it hard to say "no' to the mere sight of a bottle, can or glass of my favorite "black beverage". Later on though, as we were going through the many forms of diseases in our Medical-Surgical nursing class, the ill effects of softdrinks became a fearful reality to me. Not only that Carbonated beverages predisposes me to obesity (though I'm always thin), Diabetes and Renal Problems, this bad habit also hurts my pocket. However, I am so proud to say that for the past month, I have been successful in cutting down my softdrink intake. I would no longer give in to the craving easily, and I can actually look at people enjoying the beverage without the "uncontrollable impulse" I had way back. You may ask,how i did it... well, here's how:

a.I Pray. No kidding! When I'm actually tempted to give in to the craving, I would close my eyes and utter a prayer for strength.
b.I Control the impulse. When I feel the craving I will right away divert my attention to something else.
c.I Remind myself about the ill effects of Carbonated soft drinks.
d. I Drink a lot of water.Not only that it quenches my thirst, water also is beneficial to the body. It cleanses, it lubricates secretions in our body, it detoxifies and it is a natural component needed by our cells.

For those who are also very fond of drinking Soft drinks and sodas:

Come to think of it, some people even use soft drinks to clean the toilet bowl. Imagine all those sugars and acids of soft drinks becoming part of our system and feel it slowly destroying our organs... Geez...(sigh)

I'm looking for a bestfriend

"The ideal match for you is probably someone who can anticipate the next word out of your mouth and who laughs at the punch line before you even tell it." -this was the result of an online exam i took. It says I'm way too idealistic when it comes to love and that it will take it harder for me to actually find "the one" so to speak. There are even tendencies when i prefer not to believe that really, someone is out there waiting for me... The thing is... does he really exist? My friends used to scold me... and I mean literally scolded me for not giving the guys who come around a bit of a chance. My point is, it really is very hard for me to "connect" with just whoever. I'm determined to find my one true love but I guess he just has to come; and when he does, I would know it's him. He would finish my sentences for me, he would laugh before I drop the punchline, he would outwit me maybe, but I would definitely have a good time around him, he would appreciate the littlest thing I would do for him, and we will just- Connect! that's the thing. Where could he be?

me? too idealistic?

"when you're head over heels, you are an Idealistic Romantic. Darn! again? well, that's me... that's how i am. I may not be the best looking person around, but I do have my standards too. Why is it sooooo hard for some to understand that there are basically people who wont just settle for who's available- I am definitely that kind of person. yes, their are times that I also tend to settle for mediocrities, but for emotional commitments? No way, not me... I am never a risk taker when it comes to love and attachment, especially with total strangers. I may eat my words later. But that's later... too later.... Again, let me reiterate... when it comes to relationships, it's not good to settle for just who's available. I rest my case.
