That would be: Dates. 

The kind of benefits one gains from consuming that fruit are abundant (most likely countless) and here's a list of some of said benefits: 

1- Dates prevent:

a- Tooth-decay. 
b- From having protruding eyes.
c- Strokes as well as diseases of the heart. 
d- Hemorrhage during pregnancy and at least reduces it after childbirth. 

2- Protect against: 

a- Arteriosclerosis.
b- Cancer. 
c- Food poisoning.
d- Hemorrhoids.



3- Help with: 

a- Lowering the level of one's cholestrol.
b- Calming one's nerves. Restlessness. Nervousness. 
c- Iron-defiency (Anemia)
d- Shortness of breath and Asthma (whether in the form of a paste or having it boiled in water.)
e- Diuretic.
f- Lowering blood-pressure.
g- One's bowel movements.
h- Allergies.
i- Improving one's hear-muscles.
j- Getting contractions in a regular pace and, generally, having a smooth-enough delivery. 
k- Since it also contains estrogen, it helps the ovaries function properly.
l- Fatigue. 

4- Cure:

Not to mention that dates cleanse the liver and lungs and, cleans the kidneys (Kidney-stones no more.); and, it slows-down the signs of

aging.

 

Many of the aforementioned benefits are the direct result of Leveling one's PH back to the way it should (reason for the imbalance seems

to be the bad kind of carbs: bread and the like.) 




In general, dates are key for overall well-being.

Tip: Have 7, twice: Early in the morning before anything else and, after sunset.

Caution! People who are over-weight and/or have diabetes should check with their doctor first.

Albeit from what I read they shouldn't consume them at all.

Hopefully this post is helpful. And even though it's probably a given, the information listed above are not of my own findings. 

 ....Today, I had to deal with the real world; with complete strangers-- all for one of my classes. My group and I had to conduct a survey about one of the restaurants here and so, today was the day -- can't escape it; not anymore. It's located within the mall so I spent a couple of hours hanging around with someone while trying to spot the potential victims; the ones who will do the survey because they're oh-so-nice *evil smile* Soon enough, I was done with most of them; just a couple to go! By then, it was time for the place to open (I was there rather early; it opens at 1 pm) my partner in crime suggested to find the lucky duo in there; I went for it. We picked a table; got served a beverage and, that's when the waiter noticed a copy of the survey and chuckled; looking quite amused by it. He asked me what's it about and such. I answered his questions and then he went about doing his job. I finally went ahead and approached a couple of young ladies (the poor souls never saw it coming) and they kindly agreed to do it (you know, they had time on their hands waiting for their order and such) as I was sitting somewhat near them waiting. At the corner of my eye I saw some of the waiters hovering next to me; glancing at each other like they're up to something, and that's when one of them decided to come over and asked if he could take a look at it; I handed it to him and as he went back to where he was (few feets away from me), pretty much all of the waiters there gathered around him, trying to satisfy their curiosity-- I just wanted to laugh out loud-- I had no idea someone would be that interested in something like that; let alone a group of people! The whole situation was just too cute.  But then, someone else noticed my little survey; I guess he's the supervisor because he started to ask me few questions, wondering if I had permission from the 'head office'or not. I told him the truth; he informed me that's not OK for me to do so; I smiled and nodded my head --Phew! Glad they were the final two!    

It's been a long, long day. Whoever bothered to read thus far; I hope you're having a great day. If you're from Australia; what are you doing here? Sleep!

 
 Good night World

P.S: You'd think I had 100 copies of it or something; when in reality, I only had to find 10 people to do it. 

Languages; how we form phrases, how we choose words that are suitable for what we mean to say, and having an impeccable grammar are all part of a wonderful gift that everyone would be grateful to possess. Only it's one which many fail to acquire, including myself.... Wait, that's besides the point. Anyways, here's something I read earlier in the day:

[Note: The following examples are real, and if your grammar skills dropped a notch after reading them, well, whatever it is that you plan on doing, you can't sue me!*]

Funny English from Around The World!

Cocktail lounge, Norway:

Ladies are requested not to have children in the bar.                             (But, ..it's labour time!)

Dry cleaners, Bangkok:

Drop your trousers here for the best results.                                            (Drop them now, mr!)

In a Nairobi restaurant:

Customers who find our waitresses rude ought to see the manager.       (He's even worse?  :O )

On the main road to Mombassa, leaving Nairobi:

Take Notice: When this sign is under water, this road is impassable.                                                                                    ( Nuh uh! Me is going to see for herself if she ever stepped a foot in that place.)

On a poster at Kencom:

Are you an adult that can not read? If so, we can help.                             ( Somehow, everyone who can actually read poster is going to disagree with that statement.)

In a city restaurant:

Open seven days a week and weekends.                                                 ( So, there's actually 9 days a week? -- Explains a lot! )

In a cemetery:

Persons are prohibited from picking flowers from any but their own graves. ( o.o! Why thank you for being so, so kind!)

Tokyo hotel's rules and regulations:

Guests are requested not to smoke or do other disgusting behaviours in bed.  (Define disgusting ;) )

Hotel, Japan:

You are invited to take advantage of the chamber-maid.                                                                                              (Poor maid - me knows where that person's mind were at the moment they made that note.)

In  the lobby of a Moscow hotel across from a Russian Orthodox monastery:

You are welcome to visit the cemetery where famous Russian and Soviet composers, artists, and writers are buried daily. Except thursday.                                                                                                                                                      ( Talk about hard work! Glad they're taking atleast a day off.)

Airline ticket office, Copenhagen:

We take your bags and send them in all directions.                            ( Just what every passenger needs to know! )

______________________________________________________________________

Hope you liked them. Maybe you've read them before, maybe not, but picture yourself in a classroom where the professor asks different students to read one of the above phrases out loud, for everyone to hear.  Oh yeah. The whole class tried it's best not to laugh out loud at some of those, and some of us failed miserably at doing just that!

And to top it off, he got to be atleast 60, bless his heart. Somehow, that alone made everything all the more funny and awkward. But we loved it none-the-less.

Just incase you were wondering, yes, there's a point in all of this; he wanted to show just how important for us human beings to know how to communicate with eachother properly, because mistakes like those can have disasterous consequences --  Message well-received, Prof.          ( Is just showing off that she got it to whoever is reading this, atm.)

I hope you all are having a wonderful day/or night.

In case you're from Australia, why are you up so early? Were you pulling an all-nighter? -- Oh well, don't forget to get some sleep soon, and yes, I'm rambling now, so bye-bye. =)

P.S: Thank you Khai for the little nudge! =D

* That reminded me of Chris. ( can't find the exact disclaimer. >.<   haha.)

Or what the rest of the population would call: "Freshmen". They're funny. Wherever I am at college, I can always find atleast one of them with their wondering eyes, questioning themselves whether or not they should ask someone for help because they don't know where to go. It's just too cute. On my out, I came across a young lady who's been getting directions from the security guy so she could go to her class room, which is fine. But the thing is, even after he was done gesturing with his hands on where to go, I could see that look on her face, still! smiling, I asked her if she got it - and that's when she told me that she only knows she's heading at a certain direction and from there, she's just going to ask someone else. Got to love them lost puppies. Then again, of course I'm going to love them, I used to be one of them! xD

So yes, college is back to haunt me again. But thankfully, I feel really good about this year.

The very first day: It's just another day. Or, that's what I kept on telling myself the day before. Despite having a headache from the moment I woke up 'til I got back 6 hours later, it went fairly well.

Second day: Even better with them lost puppies. They're so thankful when we help them, it's hilarious.

I had to get a book for someone I know, though. Which isn't a big deal 'til you know that, that book store is a total nightmare in daylight. It was filled with students who were so darn eager to get their first book as college students. Not to mention 20 minutes later they had to close the bookstore and, I thought my class started already because it seemed like I've been waiting for an hour. In general, it surely pays to be in a college where just about everything I need is right next to me (which is something students from other colleges can't say, apparently)..but that was too much. Of course, I had to check with a couple of people to make sure they won't be buying it,too. The last thing I want to see once I get home is: Three copies of the same physics book. I know I won't be reading one. Not even for lols... Mainly because it's not funny, but still.

Anyway, So there I was, alone, holding a huge book, trying not to think of this place like a can of sardines or that I'm late for that class. And well, I made it! I'm ALIVE!!!! And it turned out that I was waiting for 50 minutes, so I had enough time to go to that class. Don't want a bad first impression!

Note: Reading some of the freshmen thoughts on here has been amusing. But it'll get better. Otherwise, ...well, you're going to remain to be a lost puppy for a long time! Even when you're no longer allowed to be one. Trust me, I know!

Sweet dreams Australia. Good morning America. And everything in between.

First of all, if you don't know what's this all about, you might want to check this page.

Now, on to more important things. The subject in hand.  The title pretty much says it all but why not elaborate? Lets see,  I first read his blog back in May, I believe. It was a very interesting post unlike any other thing I've read before and it was about winners! And how reading his blog would make me a winner ( which is a thought I embrace and welcome very VERY much).  He managed to gain traffic talking about what seems to be unbelievable stories of crazy women chasing him or going way over-board by beating him up (there's a picture proving that one episode) but he's a gentleman, he never mentioned that he ever fought back (or atleast, I was laughing too hard and must have skipped that part, if it exists) .  He can write the most outrageous poems ( in my opinion) and receive some negative feedback but he always, ALWAYS embraces them opinions and manages to lighten up the mood, especially theirs serious people.  And since I'm just writing whatever that comes to my mind at the moment and I'm in no-way going to put so much thought about it because A) that post of his better get some serious traffic pretty damn soon ( if that didn't happen already!) and so, I'm sure atleast ONE of them loyal readers of his is going to take his advice and make another post like this ( probably a whole lot better than mine). B) I never really keep a draft when I write anything so why should this be an exception?  C) Even if I wanted to write more reasons as to why he's so great ( and I do) I simply can't because lets face it, he IS magnificent and I wouldn't do him justice, if any.

P.S: This is too much fun. xD
