First Day at SPA

拉面今天第一次去Petsmart洗澡, 刚放她下来我还真不放心，嘱咐了那黑姑娘好几次，千万别把水弄她耳朵里了。出去转了一大圈，该采购的也都买了，下午3点多才去接她。黑姑娘一个劲的夸拉面是好孩子，不乱叫，还特合作，临了她还给拉面扎了个小halloween蝴蝶结应应景。

起个大早， 赶了个晚集

今天8点就起了，准备着去农贸市场采购点吃的。可是帮着这Ramen小祖宗檫屁股忙了一早晨，等我到了市场都11点了，水饺摊上的上海菜肉馄炖自然是没了。。。郁闷呀。。。

今天的收获如下：

鸡蛋一盒(号称organic)
草莓3盒(我是吃不完的，晚上拿一盒给penny)
Mascot葡萄2斤(janet没口福喽，我要是还在苹果的话我周一一定分她一斤:P）
番茄青瓜若干
小白菜1把
雏菊2把
猪肉白菜水饺一包50个
葱油饼5块

回到家煮了8个水饺，煎了块葱油饼，太阳洒在我身上，小风吹着，Ramen在边上舔着我的裤腿，套用Reyna的话- "我孤独,我美"。除了水饺摊上礼拜的帅哥今天被一猥琐男代替了，这个礼拜天的上午还是很美好的。

Ramen is back! :)

She stayed in grandma's for the past 3 weeks when we were on the trip. Reyna and I picked her up on Firday after dinner, she did gain some weight as Helen told me, so I couldn't really recongnize her at the first sight... how funny! It's the 2nd day she's in the house, already made several damage, poo'd on carpet and in the CAR (of course I beated her for that...)

Me and my new puppy - Ramen （拉面）

Puppy commitment

We are really getting this puppy... here's the list of supplies Helen sent to me, my head is getting bigger now... @-) it's indeed a commitment...

1. Traveler case/Pet carrier (sleeping)
2. Dog blanket
3. Training Pads (to train pee pee and poo poo)
4. Natural Mirage (to clean the accident)
5. Collars
6. 2 bowl for water and food (anything, but not plastic…they will chew the edge)
7. some dog toys (no soft toy….only plastic or rope)
8. Treat (U can use cooked pea or carrot)
9. Grooming tools, like comb, nail clipper, shampoo and towels
10. Photo Album
11. I will give you some puppy’s chow that we are using now. U can’t change diet immediately. U can switch it to other chow when she is slightly older.
12. Feel free to call me or Derek if U have any question. Get couples book about dog or Lhasa Apso will help as well.

起名字

Woody和妹妹生了几个小孩子，那天一起吃饭时Helen 说给我一个养，不过要等满6周后。这起名字的大事就这么开始了，我回家就上网查了一阵子 － baby name, pet name，看的头昏眼花的还是没满意的。R老早说过如果养狗的话，一定要叫“Catchup", 谁让他这么爱吃这番茄酱呢，吃肉骨头都能蘸那吃下去，他还说Catchup跟表兄妹Pickel和Cous Cous都挺配的。我是不太喜欢，我一定要开头是个R的!

突然想起小时候特想养只狗叫CoCo, 就问R, CoCo 怎么样？R看着电脑，头都没抬，"CoCo Lee? 听起来怪怪的。” 好，自己还硬给按了个姓，那狗当明星那？

“那ROCOCO怎么样？跟你姓RO总行了吧？小名叫COCO” 我又问，心里窃喜自己的随机应变，还把R给安了上去。

"ROCOCO? 咱孩子不起日本名字!" R抬起了头，一脸正气的对我说。

我晕～～～

借口

我拍了拍运动包上的灰，信誓旦旦的跟R保证 － 我要减肥啦，我要去运动啦！这已经是两礼拜前的事了，我还是一次都没去，每天的借口还都不重复。上礼拜，R忍无可忍，把运动包丢在我面前，说： 你去不去GYM啊？（上一个借口是我把包忘在他车里了，所以没法去。）
我想了想： 我今天还是不能去。
R: 为什么？
我：我昨天去按摩了。
R：按摩怎么了？
我慢悠悠的说：我拔了火罐了。
R有点急了: So?
我：我拔了火罐了，背上有印子，GYM换衣服万一被同事看到，会以为是Domestic Violence
R: 啊？
我摸了摸他的头：其实我是为你好，万一同事报了警，说不定我运动回来你都被警察带走了。
R: 。。。（张着嘴，已经说不出话来了）

white rose bouquet which I made... :)

Flowers are a sign of love and beauty.
Life with love can be a field of grace
Open to those wise in joy and duty,
Wild with passion, civilized as lace.
Each blossom that is carried down the aisle
Reveals the life we've longed for all the while:
Sweet-scented sunlight, lush as an embrace.

Banana muffin - I made it!

I love my phone!

I took this pict in the car while waiting for R for dinner, the quality is quite impressive given this is a SE but not Nokia. I also loaded MP3s from my iTunes to it, someone commented on me as "if you dare using this 'Walkman phone' at work, you will be so beaten..." LOL.

Unexpected B-day Gift!

Here's my unexpected b-day gift! Yeeh!!! I first saw it hanging on Carrie Bradshaw (JSP)'s neck years ago and liked it, then I saw my sister in law had it hanging on hers...I can't recall that I told R I like it but apparently that he knew it... so here we go, now it's hanging on my neck now... and R said this will bring me the best luck! :)

Happy b-day, to me! :)

Finally one year older, Reyna has been kept reminding me few days ago already... :D My first b-day card is from XJ, very thoughtful and pretty sweet. Sometimes I just wonder that how many people still remember my b-day, or, how many people still remember me. I am not good at memorize people's bday, even the look, so I don't complain. One thing I know for sure, that's my Mom will never forget me b-day, not just because it's the day she gave me birth, IT IS also her b-day too!

Happy b-day, MOM!

4大睡眠NG殺手(ZT)

以此贴跟一个战壕的战友共勉，互相监督，共同进步。。。 :))

------------------------------------------------

以成年人來說，睡眠需求約7～9小時，睡眠不足（1）容易發生意外災害，美國統計有1／3的車禍肇因和睡眠不足有關。（2）免疫力下降，易生病，病程較久，不容易痊癒。（3）研究發現，睡眠不足導致大腦瘦體素不足，食慾大增，易有肥胖傾向。（4）女性荷爾蒙失調，皮膚狀況變差。（5）和憂鬱症發作有相關性。由此見得，睡眠對人的重要性。

該如何避免失眠或擁有好的睡眠品質呢？光田醫院家醫科主治醫師于全興建議：

1. 養成固定睡眠與起床習慣。
2. 睡前1小時不要看電視或電影。
3. 準備就寢時，不要看書、講電話或想事情。
4. 睡前做輕度伸展操，不要激烈運動。下午4～6點運動，有助於晚上睡眠。
5. 洗熱水澡。
6. 艱澀難懂的書有助眠效果。
7. 把臥房當成單純睡覺的地方，讓臥房與睡眠產生聯結效果。
8. 躺在床上超過15分鐘仍不能入睡，就不要再翻來覆去當煎魚了！起床看書或聽能relax的音樂。

妨礙睡眠因素

（1） 手機　目前對於電磁波研究，好壞各半，能免則免。長期接觸電磁波，影響神經系統與生理功能（褪黑激素分泌降低），影響睡眠。
（2） 手錶　不僅是手錶，睡眠時，會有束縛感或太緊的衣物都要避免。電子錶有微量電磁波，石英錶或夜光錶含有鐳輻射，長期累積可能會影響神經、腦波，導致不易入睡。
（3） 胸罩　影響胸部健康，研究指出每天穿胸罩超過12小時者比短時間或不穿內衣者，罹患乳腺癌的機率高出20倍以上。原因是因胸部組織受到壓迫，導致淋巴液流動受阻礙，使毒素停留在胸部所致。
（4） 彩妝　阻塞毛孔，油脂分泌有障礙，容易有粉刺，影響細胞代謝，加速臉部肌膚老化。

助眠小幫手

以下4項食物，透過實驗證明有助眠的效果，但並非一試就立刻生效，1、2項需要長期調養，3、4是透過刺激嗅覺達到助眠效果。
（1） 含鈣食物：鈣具有安定神經作用，睡前可喝點如牛奶、芝麻糊、玉米湯等助眠。
（2） 蓮藕茶或玫瑰茶也有助安定神經。
（3） 洋蔥切片：研究發現若空間放置洋蔥切片能助眠，因為洋蔥可讓腦波趨於平緩，變成α波，具放鬆效果。
（4） 薰衣草：薰衣草味道可穩定情緒、安定神經，研究證實確有助眠功效。

Got new phone today!

Went to the store during lunch time and picked up this baby. Not too excited with it since it's out for a while already, but it's "free" techniqully, whatelse I can complain... :) Also bundled it with a bluetooth earpiece, remembered the joke Gigi made once to someone else's - "what a big earring!" OK, please don't say that in front of me, I will get really pissed... :D

Heart Screening 2006

Had my heart screening thing this morning.

Cholesterol lever is 127 (Ideal is <180)
Glucose ranges (blood sugar) is 91 (normal is 80-100)
Blood pressure is 98/58 (normal is < 120/80).

The lady from fitness center just said "nice and low" to me, I guess she doesn't have too much to say though I heard she gave a little "speech" to a guy ahead of me... :P Anyways, it's good to know that I am healthy, even with no excecises and eat junk foods (had pizza last night, how dare I AM?) LOL

The thing they used to get my blood was interesting, though I didn't dare to see it closely, it looked like a staple to me, just punched to my left index finger.

Hey, stranger!

Go, Ace!

Ace Young made it again tonite! I was kinda worry about him tho, but I guess the look does matter...
