Coffee session for coffee adiksss
*a moderate dose of caffeine is about 300mg a day. the list below will help you tally your caffeine intake. just remember to pay attention to serving large. A large Starbucks coffee, for example, is 20ounces, the equivalent of 2 1/2 8-ounce cups.
- Brewed coffee = 135 mg / 8oz
- Instant coffee = 95 mg / 8oz
- espresso = 90 mg / 2oz
- midol = 64 mg / 2tablets
- mountain dew = 55 mg / 12oz
- tea, bag or leaf = 50 mg / 8oz
- Coca-cola = 45 mg / 12oz
- hershey's special
- dark chocolate bar = 31 mg / 1bar (1.5oz)
- cocoa or hot choco = 5-20 mg / 8oz
TRIVIA :
Coffee and cancer
coffee seems to be off the hook as the possible trigger of the pancreatic and bladder cancers. in fact, some studies have found that people who drink coffee are reduced risk of certain cancers. in general, coffee doesn't seem to affect your risk of cancer on way or another, according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyons, France
Your Body on Caffaine
It's not just in your head. caffeine affects body parts far and wide. here's what goes on inside each time you take a sip.
- levels of stress hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine rise.
- caffeine blocks adenosine, a brain chemical that helps you relax and go to sleep.
- your heart rate, blood pressure, and adrenaline levels rise.
- caffeine stimulates your bladder to excrete more urine, which can lead to mild dehydration.
- caffeine prompts the release of small quantities of the feel-good hormone dopamine.
- fatty acids enter your bloodstream, boosting energy levels.
- your large intestine becomes more active, because caffeine acts as a laxative.

a creepy birthday ^^ ||
Wednesday, August 23, 2006
yesterday was my late bro's 25th birthday. we couldn't be with him but we can feel him. i woke up late and tapped his picture frame and greeted him " happy birthday panget" lolz. its kinda weird but thats how we greet each other or sometimes worst. haha. i would like to think that it is a blessing because it was raining so hard and yet according to his friends, they celebrated my late bro's birthday. ^^
i was taking a bathe when suddenly i smell the scent of the ICU in Phil. Heart Center that catched my attention. but its ok, i don't mind. then early this morning my older brother told us a story. he said he dreamed of ambet. he was wearing a white shirt and called his friends and to come over and see him.
i am glad that i have a six sense, i used to see and feel my brother.
want a story? *giggles*1. the day after his burial - it was already 1 am when we just got off from the living room. there's a light outside my room where you can easily notice if somebody is outside. on the master's bedroom - my mom suddenly noticed a shadow of a feet (or sakong ata un) they followed the footsteps for a thought it was me...... a few minutes after that incident... i was already half-asleep when for no reason i woke up.. i noticed that my door was open and i saw a medium built guy wearing a black americana suit - naka-side view and kalbo. i knew it... it was my bro but it didn't scare me at all. hehe.2. i was half-asleep again when suddenly i heard our main door *click (locks open) and eeeeenggww* (haha pardon my sound effect :D) then just a few second i heard a *tick* of a spoon in the kitchen. being alert, i just texted my dad; i heard something downstairs. when we went down to check for a theft, the area was a bit cold and saw nothing. i remember it was wee hour in the morning and my late brother just got home.3. so i heard it again.. the click of the doorknob and the tick of a spoon. i just went back to sleep. suddenly i heard a noise - ung pag singa` ng kuya ko that he used to joke around specially at me. - i freaked out. i ran to my parent's bedroom. damn that was so close!! that sound was sooo near in my ear. waaaaa he scared me. grrr he must be laughing so hard at me that time.4. since my dad flew back in middle east, i decided to sleep with my mom and younger brother moved in my bedroom for a change. usually, i will hug my teddy and thats the time i will get fast asleep.. this time i placed clangclang beside me near the headboard. a few minutes later biglang natumba ung eficascent oil na nasa gilid lang then on my right, i could see a light smoke or a fog but i cant view it. ang layo naman din clangclang sa pwesto na un. i don't practice seeing a literal ghost or multo.
creepy. ^^

hay.... this week parang sobrang hasel sakin. nakaka inis, nakaka hiya ako, at nahihiya ako para sa sarili ko. hindi ako sanay ng nakaka bastos ako or nagiging masama ako sa ibang tao. oo minsan rude and parang baliw ako pero alam mo yun, nasa lugar ako. minsan wala ako sa lugar kasi mali rin banat sakin. anyway humahaba lang eh.
nung monday or nung tuesday ata tumawag sakin ung HR galing sa isang call center, 12noon un so ok lang. pero tulog pa ako kaya sinagot ng mom ko ung call kasi sabi nya akala daw nya daddy ko from abroad. ok lang kinausap ko nalang ung phone interviewee. so lusot ako, may 2nd call pa. anak ng, 3pm naalimpungatan ako sakto tumawag ung mag iinterview ulet... ok so sinagot ko na ung call. ay anak ng, pag pindot ko biglang namatay cp ko. pucha, nakaka hiya ako. 2nd chance na nga sasablay pa ako. pa importante na nga ako eh tapos ganito mangyayari. so tumawag ulit sya, namatay nanaman. ano ba yan, sobrang nakaka inis. nakakahiya kasi kakilala pa naman ng kuya ko ung isa sa officers dun. backer? oo malamang ganun nga, pero labas un sa kwento ko. kasi d ba, phone interview un. trabaho un at lalong hindi biro un. hay.. minamalas.
lovelife nga naman.... pag minamalas.....
bago matapos ang week na to akala ko kahit papano may pampalit sa mood ko. ung baby ko wala na.. hindi na namin itutuloy ung relationship. ayoko rin lokohin sarili ko. minahal? oo. mahal? oo. ewan syempre ikaw ba naman magkaibigan kau ng more than 3 years eh, syempre concern ako. ayokong nahihirapan sya, lalo na ngayon sa health nya. he told, nabasa nya blog ko and dinelete ko nga ung post ko about him. binura ko kasi ayokong sabihin ko sa mga tao na nagmamahal ako pero wala naman akong minamahal.
pucha ang hirap. bakit ganun, akala ko ganun lang kadali bitawan ung medyo nakapag adjust ka na.. kasi natanggap ko na sya eh. pero ganun pala yun. mahirap, oo. masakit? syempre. feeling rejected? medyo. regrets? wala. masaya ako kasi finally na-accept nya rin ung totoo na hindi ganun kadali makapag move on. binalaan ko sya? uu, bago pa lang sinabi ko na sa kanya na hindi ko sya prinepressure sa relationship namin. siguro ayaw nya din magmahal ng hindi totoo kaya nauntog sya sa katotoohanan.
ang haba ng post ko ha.. kakaiba to. tagalog tapos unang confession ko.. eto na ako na to - kasi madrama na eh. (drama queen? ay ako ba yun?) haha. masyado kasi akong naging okupado sa pag hahanap ng mga sites na pwede kong ilagay sa link ko (ay tanga, mas binigyang importansya) pero ok lang,
tignan mo naman kahit papano may masasabi na akong blog ko. isang ulam na kulang sa rekado pero pag tinikman may lasa pala. sana nga may lasa ung blog ko eh.Labels: rants

last nyt i called my friend ian and told him about my new
raket, my homebase business. told him i am accepting cd burning - everything! audio, mp3, series, movies and a lot more from audio to dvd. and since i am into graphic designing (not so beginner but not advance) i am also accepting photo editing. i showed him my samples and it's a blessing that he gave me his orders. ^^ so cool. im having fun, hehe. And my mom's friend which happens to be an old man :) has an order too -- old songs T___T toooooo old for me and tooooo hard to search T_____T i hope this won't take too long.
"oh God you've been good to me as always, thank you so much for all the blessings you've showered me and things that will bestow me. i know it is not enough but i don't have to justify all the things and what is important, you know what i have been doing and you my bestfriend see all this through. please, just don't make me suffer for things you know i can't handle. show me the right path.... always. thank you God. i love you so much."
why i can't measure up ||
Tuesday, August 15, 2006
i was zipping my hot chocolate while i was sitting in front of my computer and thinking what to do when suddenly this question popped up in my mind -- why i can't measure up. Things i do, things i could not finish that circles in my interest and the things that i can pride off. Things that springs my personality and lifestyle, things i cannot measure up. It’s been awhile now since i hear myself crying from the obstacles. i feel like i am defeated. Frustrations and bitterness ponders me. it covers and now i am bearing all the pain life has given me. I’m wearing my mask -- the so called smile / happy face that will cover your true feelings and it is working for me. Pretensions is not the main idea but i don't want to be a loser -- although i think i am; trying to secure myself from being rejected and afraid to hear criticism out of my innocence.
Relationship - i did everything to save it, I stay even i have given enough and tired of hearing lame excuses. i gave so much, and has left none. i told myself to say goodbye to my old self. Mind matters so i followed my instinct but why i am feeling guilty? why i can't just blow it up and tell it to his face it is over? I don’t know what is wrong with me.. I feel like a defeated perfectionist.
Work? My worst experience! Back when I was starting, my boss used to criticize my work and even I if I am done and hand it to him before the dealine, he'll say not this not that, you need this you need that and it is really annoying. but i got used to it and just when i realized that he is a gay (oh, um 50% gay n 50% guy? -- silahis eh?)
studies - can't finish studying...... for some personal reasons. and i can't imagine why this happened.
whenever i think about these things? in any other way it's just giving me a crap and i don't want to curse - nah ... never mind. sometimes, when things go wrong i know what should i do but time and chances really putting me in horrible situations and just can't bear it all.. i am weak, wicked and devastated (feeling...) and i simply can't win to this... God's plan.
Destiny really put you where you belong.. and where you should stand - alone.

it has been 7months now since the last time i published something to my blogs. i keep on making new accounts because of unsatisfied blogging. but i told myself, i have to blog again -- reasons keep running in my mind, one is life is a countless battle and a long journey to live by and i realized that i am not getting any younger and time is running out for me. a time will come that we want to reminisce our life story and share it to others. and when i'm gone -- they can just view my blog and read it all over again.>

the time of his life
8.30pm - my brother said good bye.
his modeling career has just ended
his passion brought him to his place

the final glance
the doctor suggested that we have to move my brother to the Phil. Heart Center and so we did. With the referral letter, my brother got admitted. it was such a great feeling, the nervousness and comfort finally arrived. but comes 2:00AM, something happened - we called a nurse for an emergency but it was a battle. An unexpected statement surprised us. the doctor said they have to transfer my brother in ICU (intensive care unit). a question suddenly came in my mind -- what happened? why is my brother telling us that somebody is asking him to come with him and leave? -- it is too early.. i can't believe it. my heart is beating so fast that i keep on praying that my brother will fight and recover. i told my brother that is he not going anywhere!! and will be with us because he is going to be fine.
my older brother called albert's friends and told them to see my brother for once before he transfer in ICU. they rushed to the hospital and give their support.. an important call made that night. it was my father. i see myself crying.. i never felt this way before.. i was so touched... not knowing that it would be their last conversation.
