Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.

4 Excuses to Eat Chocolate :)))
Drink Chocolate Milk
1. It was shown that high levels of milk chocolate consumption do not raise blood cholesterol levels, even though chocolate is high in saturated fats. It seems that the saturated fat in chocolate, stearic acid, does not have the same effect on cholesterol levels as other types of saturated fats. Woo~ Cool seh Anyway,for people who do not know that we cannot consume more than 200mg of saturated fats a day.Okay I cant find the actual amount.This is the rough figure.Ha.
Eat Chocolate Bars
2. Chocolate is loaded with antioxidant polyphenols. These are those same compounds found in red wine, fruits and vegetables that are touted for their heart-healthy and other disease-preventing qualities. In fact, a regular chocolate bar contained as much as an eight-ounce glass of red wine, or the same amount as five servings of fruits and vegetables. Cocoa contained the most, followed by dark chocolate and then milk chocolate. What is still not known is whether the polyphenols in chocolate can be absorbed by the body. Those studies are still preliminary and ongoing. Early results in animal studies are looking positive. This could be one science experiment where it may be fun to be the guinea pig.
Chocolate Is Better for Your Teeth
3. Chocolate is better for your teeth that other foods with a similar sugar content. Apparently the nature of chocolate makes it easily rinsed from the mouth by saliva, leaving it in contact with teeth for a shorter time. Chocolate also contains tannins, which inhibit the action of cavity causing bacteria, perhaps by not allowing them to stick to the teeth.
Chocolate Is a Natural Drug
4. Although you would have to eat several pounds at one sitting, chocolate has been found to contain chemical compounds that stimulate the same receptor sites in the brain as marijuana.
