I’m Filipino-American and feel cursed…when it comes to drinking alcohol.  After a bottle of beer, my face turns red and my eyes are bloodshot.  Since I can remember I’ve always been like this, and to tell you the truth, I feel embarrassed when it happens.  This is why I like hanging out in dark places so people won’t notice.  Good thing is I’m not the only who experiences this.  There’s actually a name for it…it’s called the Asian Flush.

If you’re like me, you’ll want to read the article, Asian Flush: Asians and Alcohol, to get a better understanding why it happens and how to deal with it.  Sorry, there’s nothing you can really do to get rid of it.  If anything, accept it and move on.  That’s what I’ll try to do.

Here’s a great article I highly recommend you read.  It’s only 3 paragraphs long, but is a must-read. 

What the article comes down to is when one visualizes his/herself from a third-person perspective (like watching a movie), he/she will more likely achieve greater things.

Meet Buster Martin.  At 101 years old, he’s a rock star, a marathon runner, and a counselor to the young for FHM magazine.  Check out this video where Pete Townsend’s My Generation song is remaked.

Sad thing what politics - or for that matter, jobs that cause unhealthy stress - can do to a man…take Tony Blair, for example. From the BBC, here are pictures of him, showing how he has aged in 10 years. Yes, he is successful; yes, he is wealthy, but whoa, he’s aged a lot! In 10 years?!

With how government and the world tries to manage this thing called life, it’s been confirmed in studies that chronic stress does hasten aging. Read this article to find out more.

So my question to you is: Is politics or a job full of [unhealthy] stress worth it? (There is good stress - the one that makes us grow.)

Hopefully, this sparks something in you wherein it changes your perspective for the good. And for me and my family, our goal is to lead a quiet life and enjoy it while it lasts. I hope it’s the same for you and if so, do your best and try to do something about it. I know it’s easier said than done, but try.  I will.  =0)
