Kahlúa Hot Chocolate Drink


I just made myself a special drink! :)

It's Kahlúa hot chocolate. Mmm.. it's so delicious! Do you want to taste it?

I think hubby will like that. I will make him one if he is a good boy. lol

Actually, he is great at making hot chocolate drink. :) hehe

We should use our bottle of Kahlúa more often. I think we've only used it a few times since we got it. lol

Maybe it's time to make Tiramisu again? :D

Swimming.....

I just got back from swimming. It was nice. The water was clear and the sky was blue. :) I enjoyed it.

I am cooking tomato and basil baked fish for our dinner! :D

Newport (Ymerodraeth State of Mind)


Hubby thought that it was good. hahaha I found it very funny!

40 Tips for Life

1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.

2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.

3. Buy a DVR and tape your late night shows and get more sleep.

4. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, 'My purpose is to __________ today.'

5. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.

6. Play more games and read more books than you did in 2007.

7. Make time to practice meditation, and prayer.
They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives.

8. Spend time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6.

9. Dream more while you are awake.

10. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.

11. Drink green tea and plenty of water. Eat blueberries, wild Alaskan salmon, broccoli, almonds & walnuts.

12. Try to make at least three people smile each day.

13. Clear clutter from your house, your car, your desk and let new and flowing energy into your life.

14. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, OR issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.

15. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a life time.

16. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out charge card.

17. Smile and laugh more. It will keep the NEGATIVE BLUES away.

18. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

19. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

20. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

21. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

22. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.

23.. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

24. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.

25. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: 'In five years, will this matter?'

26. Forgive everyone for everything.

27. What other people think of you is none of your business.

28. REMEMBER, GOD heals everything.

29. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

30. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.

31. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.

32. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

33. The best is yet to come.

34. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

35. Do the right thing!

36. Call your family often. (Or email them to death!!!)

37. Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements: I am thankful for __________. Today accomplished _________.

38. Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.

39. Enjoy the ride. Remember this is not Disney World and you certainly don't want a fast pass. You only have one ride through life so make the most of it and enjoy the ride.

40. Please Forward this to everyone you care about. I just did.


Dance as though no one is watching you,
Love as though you have never been hurt before,
Sing as though no one can hear you,
Live as though heaven is on earth.
Remember: Life is short, Break the rules,
Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly,
Laugh uncontrollably,
And never regret anything that made you smile.

Loads of rubbish......

I was gonna go for a swim earlier but I decided not to after I saw the rubbish in the water. I am sure most of it was from China. I felt really sad seeing that. :(

There were plastic bottles, packaging bags and all sort of different things. All mainland products. I wonder how they got there though.

When I was on the way home, I saw a long snake near power station beach. It was thin and long. :)

Detox and Cleanse

Swimming/Cycling

Swimming and cycling are both great when cleansing/detoxing as they are both renowned for being extremely efficient, low-impact, aerobic forms of exercise. Swimming is particularly good for a detox as it very relaxing and therapeutic as well as being a great muscle conditioner.

Both forms of exercise are also detox-friendly as they allow a fairly high level of control over your heart-rate and therefore allow you to ensure that you do not exercise with too great an intensity. They both also encourage deep diaphragmatic breathing which is especially important when cleansing/detoxing.

Now I know why I feel fantastic after swimming. ^^
