Wanna see if the sun will rise
In the way that you're by my side ooo
When we had so much in store
Tell me what is it I'm reaching for
When we're through building memories
I'll hold yesterday in my heart, in my heart

You always use to say
I should be thankful for everyday
Heaven knows what the future holds
Or least how the story goes
I never believed them til now
I know I'll see you again I'm sure
No it's not selfish to ask for more
One more night one more day
One more smile on your face
But they can't take yesterday

Oh the broken dreams, take everything
But they can never have yesterday

Type As flourish on vegetarian diets Type As are predisposed to heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. It is particularly important for sensitive Type As to get their foods in as natural a state as possible: fresh, pure, and organic. When you get on the Type A Diet, you will naturally be thinner. If you are accustomed to eating meat, you'll lose weight rather rapidly in the beginning as you eliminate the toxic foods from your diet. And when you follow the Type diet, you can supercharge your immune system and potentially short-circuit the development of life-threatening diseases.

When Type As eat meat, they experience sluggishness. Type As have low stomach-acid content, therefore they have a hard time digesting meat. Since Type As eat very little animal protein, nuts and seeds supply an important protein component. Type As also thrive on the vegetable proteins found in beans and legumes, except those mentioned for the "Avoid" list. These beans can cause a decrease in insulin production, which may cause obesity and diabetes. Tofu should be a staple in the Type A Diet.

Dairy foods are also poorly digested by Type As, and can cause metabolic slowdown. Type As can tolerate small amounts of fermented dairy products such as yogurt, kefir, nonfat sour cream, and cultured dairy products.

Vegetables are vital to the Type A Diet, providing minerals, enzymes and antioxidants. Type A are very sensitive to the lectins in potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams, cabbage, tomatoes and peppers. They aggravate the delicate stomach of Type A. Type A should eat more fruits that are alkaline, avoid mangoes, papaya and oranges for they are not good for your digestive tract.

Meats and Poultry – Type As should eliminate all meats from their diet. Food allowed: Chicen, Cornish hens, Turkey. Food not allowed: Beef, Pork, Lamb, Veal, Venison, Duck, Goose.

Seafood – Most Beneficial: Carp, Cod, Grouper, Mackerel, Monkfish, Pickerel, Red snapper, Rainbow trout, Salmon, Sardine, Sea trout, Silver perch, Snail, Whitefish, Yellow Perch. Food not allowed: Anchovy, Barracuda, Beluga, Bluefish, Bluegill bass, Catfish, Caviar, Clam, Conch, Crab, Crayfish, Eel, Flounder, Frog, Gray sole, Haddock, Hake, Halibut, Herring, Lobster, Lox, Mussels, Octopus, Oysters, Scallop, Shad, Shrimp, Sold, Squid, Striped bass, Tilefish, Turtle.

Dairy – Most dairy products are not digestible for Type As. Food allowed: Yogurt, Mozzarella, Feta, Goat cheese, Goat milk, Kefir, Ricotta, String cheese. Food not allowed: All other cheeses and milk. (Luckily, I do not like dairy products.)

Fats – Most Beneficial: Flaxseed oil, Olive oil. Food allowed: Canola Oil, Cod liver oil. Food not allowed: Oil of corn, cottonseed, peanut, safflower and sesame.

Nuts – Most Beneficial: Peanuts, Pumpkin Seeds. Food not allowed: Brazil nuts, cashews, Pistachios. (Pistachios not allowed? =_( They are so nice.)

Beans – These beans can cause a decrease in insulin production for Type As. Food not allowed: Beans – copper, garbanzo, kidney, lima, navy, red, tamarind. Type As thrive on the vegetable proteins found in beans and legumes. Most Beneficial: Beans (Aduke, Azuki, Black, Green, Pinto, Red soy), Lentils and Black-eyed pea.

Grains – Type As generally do well on cereals and grains. Select the more concentrated whole grains instead of instant and processed cereals. Most Beneficial: Amaranth, Buckwheat. Food not allowed: Cream of wheat, Familia, Farina, Granola, Grape nuts, Wheat germ, Seven grain, Shredded wheat, Wheat bran, Durum wheat.

Bread & Noodles – Type As have a wonderful selection and choices in grains and pastas. Most Beneficial: Bread (Essene, Ezekiel, Soya flour, Sprouted wheat), Rice cakes, Flour (Oat, Rice, Rye), Soba Noodles, Pasta (Artichoke). Food not allowed: nglish muffins, Bread (High-protein whole wheat, Multi-grain), Matzos, pumpernickel, Wheat bran muffins, Flour (white, whole wheat), Pasta (Semolina, spinach).

Vegetables – Type As are very sensitive to these vegetables. They have a strong deleterious effect on the Type A digestive tract.. Food not allowed: Peppers, olives, Potatoes, Sweet potatoes, Yams, All kinds of cabbage, Tomatoes, Lima beans, Eggplant, Mushroom. (I can't have cabbage soup diet?!?!?!) These vegetables enhance the immune system of Type As. Most Beneficial: Garlic, Onions, Broccoli, carrots, collard greens, kale, pumpkin, spinach (To eat more. My mum cooks pumpkin today. Though I do not like the taste but looks like die-die-I-must-eat kind). Vegetables are vital to the Type A diet, providing minerals, enzymes and Antioxidants. Eat vegetables in as natural a state as possible (raw or steamed) to preserve their full benefits. Most Beneficial: Artichoke, Chicory, Greens (Dandelion, Swiss Chard), Horseradish, Leek, Romaine, Okra, Parsley, Alfalfa Sprouts, Tempeh, Tofu, Turnip. (Luckily, I still can have tofu) Most fruits are allowed for Type As, although try to emphasize more alkaline fruits can help to balance the grains that are acid forming in Type As muscle tissues. Most Beneficial: Berries (blackberries, blueberries, boysenberries, cranberries), plums, Prunes, Figs (I dislike berries.) High mold counts of these fruits make it hard for Type As to digest. Food not allowed: Melons, cantaloupe, honeydew. Type As don't do well on these fruits. Food not allowed: Mangoes, papaya, Bananas, Coconuts. These fruits are stomach irritant for Type As, and they also interfere with the absorption of minerals. Food not allowed: Orange, Rhubarb, Tangerines. The digestive enzyme in this fruit is an excellent digestive aid for Type As. Most Beneficial: Pineapples, Cherries, Apricots. (I love pineapples!) These fruits exhibit alkaline tendencies after digestion which has a positive effects on the Type A stomach. Most Beneficial: Grapefruit, Lemon. (I like sour fruits!)

Spices – The right combination of spices can be powerful immune-system boosters for Type As. Most Beneficial: Tamari, miso, soysauce, garlic, ginger. Good source of iron, a mineral that is lacking in the Type A Diet. Most Beneficial: Blackstrap molasses. Avoid these because the acids tend to cause stomach lining irritation. Food not allowed: Vinegar, Pepper (black, cayenne, white), Capers, Plain Gelatin, Wintergreen. (Damn! I like vinegar lor.)

Condiments – These products should be avoided because Type As have low levels of stomach acid. Food not allowed: Ketchup, Mayonnaise, Pickles, Relish, Worcestershire sauce.

Beverages – These beverages help to improve the immune systems for Type As. Most Beneficial: Hawthorn, Aloe, Alfalfa, Burdock, Echinacea, Green tea, Red wine (1 glass / day). These beverages help Type As to increase their stomach-acid secretions. Most Beneficial: Ginger, Slippery elm, Coffee (1 cup / day). These don't suit the digestive system of Type As, nor do they support the immune system. Food not allowed: Beer, Distilled liquor, Seltzer water, Soda, Black Tea. (What!?!?! I will treat it as I never see this. =P)

Here is a summary :

1. Start  with 10-12 glasses of room temperature pure filtered water a day. Begin in the morning with 2 glasses of water to purify and hydrate your body from the overnight dehydration. Bring a water bottle around with you during the day, and drink water whenever you feel thirsty.

2. Your carbohydrates intake should comprise primarily of whole grain cereal, barley, and oats. These are low glycemic index food that converts into sugar once inside your body at a slow and steady pace. Reduce high glycemic carbohydrates intake such as rice, wheat, bread, pasta, and rice which converts into sugar quickly once taken in and cause a rise in blood sugar level. Sustained intake of high glycemic food leads to obesity and adult onset diabetes and is a leading cause of aging. You don't have to avoid all grains, as it is a good source of energy. The key is to take good grains and avoid bad grains.

3. 8-10 portions of vegetables should be taken. Choose above ground green leafy vegetables. Generally speaking, the more colorful the vegetable, the more anti-oxidant is inside and the better it is for you. Avoid  vegetables that grow underground such as potato, yam, and carrots because they behave like high glycemic index type carbohydrates and leads to sugar imbalance.

4. Low glycemic index type fruits should be taken, such as apple or blueberry.   Always take whole fruits and avoid fruit juices which are high in sugar and low in fiber.

5.  Legumes , organic eggs, and nuts are excellent source of protein.  One to two eggs a day can be taken in without significant rise in blood cholesterol if you are healthy.

6. At least 8 oz of cold water deep sea fish such as salmon or tuna should be taken per week. This will provide the body with the necessary omega 3 fatty acid as well as protein. Stay away from fresh water or costal water fish which can be contaminated.  Free range chicken is a good source of protein also and can be taken twice a week.

7. Red meat such as beef should be restricted to once or twice a week , together with dessert such as ice cream and cakes. Try to take in beef that comes from cattle that are grass fed instead of grain fed in their diet.

8. Olive or Canola Oil should be used in preparation of food.  It contains mono-unsaturated fat . Stay away from polyunsaturated fat that comes after processing, such as corn oil, safflower oil, and sunflower oil. The commercialization processes changes the structure of the fat and makes it harmful for the body.  Avoid trans-fat that is found in margarine, cookies, and pastries as much as possible. It is the worse type of fat, much worse than the saturated fat you find in red meat.

Additional Notes:

1. I try to rotate my food so I don’t eat the same food not more than once every four days to minimize allergies
2. I drink water with a few slices of lemon to alkalize my body. No coffee. Herbal tea only.
3. I do eat some ice cream from time to time to enjoy my life.
4. I take my supplements.
5. I take my breakfast around 7 am, lunch at 12 , and dinner at 6 pm

LONDON – When you're smiling, the whole world really does smile with you

A paper being published Friday in a British medical journal concludes that happiness is contagious _ and that people pass on their good cheer even to total strangers.

American researchers who tracked more than 4,700 people in Framingham, Mass., as part of a 20-year heart study also found the transferred happiness is good for up to a year.

"Happiness is like a stampede," said Nicholas Christakis, a professor in Harvard University's sociology department and co-author of the study. "Whether you're happy depends not just on your own actions and behaviors and thoughts, but on those of people you don't even know."

While the study is another sign of the power of social networks, it ran through 2003, just before the rise of social networking Web sites like Friendster, MySpace and Facebook. Christakis couldn't say for sure whether the effect works online.

"This type of technology enhances your contact with friends, so it should support the kind of emotional contagion we observed," he said.

Christakis and co-author James Fowler, of the University of California in San Diego, are old hands at studying social networks. They previously found that obesity and smoking habits spread socially as well.

For this study, published in the British journal BMJ, they examined questionnaires that asked people to measure their happiness. They found distinct happy and unhappy clusters significantly bigger than would be expected by chance.

Happy people tended to be at the center of social networks and had many friends who were also happy. Having friends or siblings nearby increased people's chances of being upbeat. Happiness spread outward by three degrees, to the friends of friends of friends.

Happy spouses helped, too, but not as much as happy friends of the same gender. Experts think people, particularly woman, take emotional cues from people who look like them.

Christakis and Fowler estimate that each happy friend boosts your own chances of being happy by 9 percent. Having grumpy friends decreases it by about 7 percent.

But it also turns out misery don't love company: Happiness seemed to spread more consistently than unhappiness. But that doesn't mean you should drop your gloomy friends.

"Every friend increases the probability that you're at the center of a network, which means you are more eligible to get a wave of happiness," Fowler said.

Being happy also brings other benefits, including a protective effect on your immune system so you produce fewer stress hormones, said Andrew Steptoe, a psychology professor at University College London who was not involved with the study.

But you shouldn't assume you can make yourself happy just by making the right friends.

"To say you can manipulate who your friends are to make yourself happier would be going too far," said Stanley Wasserman, an Indiana University statistician who studies social networks.

The study was only conducted in a single community, so it would take more research to confirm its findings. But in a time of economic gloom, it also suggested some heartening news about money and happiness.

According to the research, an extra chunk of money increases your odds of being happy only marginally _ notably less than the odds of being happier if you have a happy friend.

"You can save your money," Christakis said. "Being around happy people is better."
