Soul Sisters

                                                      Sisterhood

Allies, partners in crime, rivals...

I have two younger sisters.

We fought, we patched up. We laughed at jokes that no one can understand. We said some of the meanest things to each other. We defended each other when others won't. We did some of the silliest things together and there's so many stories to be recalled when we are together.

Through some of the harshest times, we became muted to one another. Yet through it all, the coldness will eventually thaw and melt away and we're right back to where we've left it, that is, like nothing has ever been missing...

Do you have a sister? If you have, you'll know what I mean.

And what would you say about the bond you share with your sisters?

Having a sister is like having a best friend you can't get rid of. You know whatever you do, they'll still be there.

She is your mirror, shining back at you with a world of possibilities. She is your witness, who sees you at your worst and best, and loves you anyway. She is your partner in crime, your midnight companion, someone who knows when you are smiling, even in the dark. She is your teacher, your defense attorney, your personal press agent, even your shrink. Some days, she's the reason you wish you were an only child.

Sisters annoy, interfere, criticize. Indulge in monumental sulks, in huffs, in snide remarks. Borrow. Break. Monopolize the bathroom. Are always underfoot. But if catastrophe should strike, sisters are there. Defending you against all comers.

Sisters don't need words. They have perfected a language of snarls and smiles and frowns and winks - expressions of shocked surprise and incredulity and disbelief. Sniffs and snorts and gasps and sighs - that can undermine any tale you're telling.

A younger sister is someone to use as a guinea-pig in trying sledges and experimental go-carts. Someone to send on messages to Mum. But someone who needs you - who comes to you with bumped heads, grazed knees, tales of persecution. Someone who trusts you to defend her. Someone who thinks you know the answers to almost everything.

Effects of Kissing

1. Long kisses are beneficial to our circulatory system. When kissing, our pulse rate is quickening up to 110 beats per minute. This is a great training for our cardiovascular system.
2. After kissing, the lungs work harder, resulting in 60 inhales per minute compared to regular 20 inhales. Such “ventilation” is a good preventive measure against lung diseases.
3. Some dentists believe that kissing is a preventive measure against dental caries. Indeed, kissing stimulates the flow of salvia that eliminates acid coat on the teeth.
4. Kisses that last more than three minutes help us fight stress and its effects. Long kisses trigger the chain of biochemical reactions, which destroys stress hormones.
5. Those who kiss their partner goodbye each morning live five years longer than those who don’t.
6. Kissing is great for self-esteem. It makes you feel appreciated and helps your state of mind.
7. Kissing burns calories, 2-3 calories a minute and can double your metabolic rate. Research claims that three passionate kisses a day (at least lasting 20 seconds each) will cause you to loose an entire extra pound.
8. Kissing is a known stress-reliever. Passionate kissing relieves tension, reduces negative energy and produces a sense of well being, lowering your cortisol ‘stress’ hormone.
9. Kissing uses 30 facial muscles and it helps keep the facial muscles tight, preventing baggy cheeks! The tension in the muscles caused by a passionate kiss helps smooth the skin and increases the circulation.
10. Kissing is good for the heart, as it creates an adrenaline which causes your heart to pump more blood around your body. Frequent kissing has scientifically been proven to stabilize cardiovascular activity, decrease blood pressure and cholesterol.
11. Those who kiss quite frequently are less likely to suffer from stomach, bladder and blood infections.
12. During a kiss, natural antibiotics are secreted in the saliva. Also, the saliva contains a type of anesthetic that helps relieve pain.
13. Kissing reduces anxiety and stops the ‘noise’ in your mind. It increases the levels of oxytocin, an extremely calming hormone that produces a feeling of peace.

LOVE IS GREAT - ALL ABOUT LOVE & RELATIONSHIPS

 Love & Loving Relationships are in everyone's life!*

Hopefully, you will find this site VERY helpful in finding out about love, finding people to love, expressing love, and realizing the love you have in your life. That is the intention.

 Love Is Great ... Value the Love you have!

You may have lost someone, or things are not good ... but check out your life and realize what love you have. Personally, I have lots of people who love me including family and friends. Think about who loves you .... family, friends, pets? There are even people out there who might not really know you, but are caring and actually give love to those they don't know.

Check your life and think about who loves you ... Life is worth living, there is love in pretty much everyones life if you pay attention. And don't forget to let those you love know that you love them ... and let them know often!

Too often people regret not letting loved ones in their life know how much they are loved. If you don't already have a habit of telling your loved ones that you do love them ... start a new habit of doing it often. In my family, hugs are done often and before leaving or ending a cell phone conversation our closing statement is "Love you!" And an important thing is we mean it!

Animals like cats and dogs might not understand words or their emotions ... but they still do have emotions and can feel love, pain, loss, happiness. Many people have cats, dogs and other animals because they give love ... appreciate it.

LONGGANISA SORPRESA

Today, our agenda is to go to novaliches district hospital to get our cases.but unfortunately the chief nurse wasn't there so we decided to have food trip.  We ate lunch at Longganisa Sorpresa at SM North Edsa.  So we went to Longganisa Sorpresa, we ate different kinds of longganisa like cagayan de oro, gensan, tuguegarao, lucban, alaminos longganisas. But my favorite was C.D.O :)It's so  yummy! Especially love the vinegars. They also have different kinds of vinegars that you can choose from.
