HELLO THERE ! :D

Working Out Why You Smoke.

It is an addiction

Many people including non-smoker often take tobacco addiction lightly. It is as though an unspoken scale of addiction severity exists, with tobacco coming in somewhere on the less severe end of things. Crack and heroin are some example of illegal drugs that are considered “bad” addictions.

Nicotine is both a stimulant and a sedative. Besides, nicotine is considered one of the most addictive substances in the world. The reason why you are smoking in spite of your reluctance to do so is exactly because nicotine is so addictive.

Smoking meets your emotional needs

Here are some of the possible reasons why you are smoking:

· - You use nicotine as a cure for anxiety.

· - Smoking gives you confidence.

· -You think smoking is an escape from this world window into another world; smoking shuts down your mind even if last for only a moment.

You use smoking to control your weight

Many smokers use cigarettes and other tobacco products to satisfy their hunger. Nicotine unlike food, even gives you an edge, a feeling of being wired. Therefore, these reasons cause many smokers to depend on the excuse that they have to keep smoking to control their weight.

You use smoking to control stress

For many people, smoking is a cure for anxiety and stress. Many of the smokers use it to relieve stress, however it adds to stress in lots of ways.

Teenagers: Smoking to be cool

Teenagers often smoke due to environmental factors. They begin smoking because their parents and friends, or even TV stars that they idolize smoke. A positive impact can be made on teenagers’ selves by pointing out examples of extremely successful, cool people who make the effort to take good care of their health. Most importantly, you must be a good example first if you are a parent.

Presenting kids with mixed messages is a universal problem. Parents or adults who ask their child or others not to smoke are no setting a good example if they are a smoker themselves.

Another common reason that teenagers smoke is peer pressure. Adolescence is a time in life when intense pressure fits in. Thus, smoking is a passive form of compliance with the group for most kids. Besides, teenage smokers are more likely to have friends that smoke too. In addition, it may need the involvement of quitting a particular circle if a teenager decided to quit smoking.

On the other hand, teenagers are constantly trying to establish and declare their identities. This involves the effort of trying to be different from their parents and their parents’ generation. Kids therefore become defiant and rebellious in more extreme cases. Lastly, teens feel that speaking out and being different is more important than being healthy or making realistic plan for the future, which lead them to try things like smoking.

Smokers may fall in any of the above factors that are mentioned above. However, do consider quitting as smoking can cause harm to you. Consult your doctor for ways to quit smoking.

i dont like to visit or

walk along terrace houses/bungalows because

most of them owned ferocious looking dogs!

and im scared of dogs.

but i swear her eyes are damn biggggggggg!

anyway yes,
the ferocious dog that im referring to is PiPi!

didnt take a photo of her cus she's super active.

she's paranoid in a way that she

thinks there's always danger around her!

and she's super timid!

she is so scared of strangers that she run

away after barking!

she really looked fierce but timid in nature!

she even shook a little

when bestfren took out a piece

of tissue from her pocket!

so how can i take a photo of her!

later she thought i wanna harm her.

so everytime she's around us,

we have to be careful nt to frighten her.

everything must be in slow motion ahhhhh.

anyway she's quite cute too lah.

she goes round in circles chasing its tail.

HAHAHAHA.

however,

i think i need to make frens with her everyday.

my sis and I went out

for a while to buy some drinks.

when we came back, she bark at us again.

-.-

i tried my best to overcome

my fear and let her smell my hands leh.

why did she forget mi again.

okays enough bout PiPi!

i need to see her almost everyday man!

HAHAHA.

anyway, work with bestfren ytd and my sis today.

we printed almost

200 tshirts ytd but only 90 today.

many problems cropped up along the way...

to play a trick on or tell a lie to delicia,

5th March will be the day.

on 5th March 2009,

delicia unknowingly let her guard down

and believed every word that her bestfren said.

when her bestfren said,

" i think Paradiz Centre is in this direction."

she believed.

when her bestfren passed by the

gents and saw Edwin drying his hands,

"OHHH, nothing nothing. i saw a chikopek. Faster walk faster walk."

she believed.

when her bestfren said,

" Erm, dont ask so much lah. The activities after that are flexible. :)"

without further thinking, she said okay.

and so to her surprise,

she entered the restaurant and was welcomed by 9 of them,
namely simin, kahlim, shiqi, simon, eric, weihang, edwin, sinyong and wuyu.

dine at Hey Hey Hotpot.

after that was minds cafe.

taboo was soooooooooo fun that i actually miss it now.
