Taylor Swift


 Taylor Swift was a record breaker singer and composer. She got triple platinum in her debut album. She's one of the most bubbly and admired by men. Her songs were so hits in the bill board chart in the MTV, Mix and in whole world... I remember when were in the classroom and someone starts to sing A love story and the whole class sang her song. And that was fun... This was signifies that she really capture that taste not only the teenagers but in all of junctures.
 
I really love Taylor Swift her songs were naturally felt by the listener. She was so humble. When she was interviewed in the Ellen De Generis Show she was ask to compose a song. An impromptu one that keywords was given by the audiences and then just a swift she made it..... That was cool... She had a new album now entitled  Speak Now . Hope I can have one soon....

Trust

What is trust?


When I scanned to the web of wiki... Trust is the reliance to another person or entity.
In the dictionary, Trust is the obligation or responsibility imposed on a person in whom confidence in authority is  placed. 

I brought this topic for as I have an issue on this..... As a psychology student, I was engrossed to find out of why is this so and also for the cure of this kind of dilemma but sad to know that it wasn't resolved yet. Studying the topic of Erik Erikson the Trust Vs. Mistrust which is the infant's actual experiences and attachments to mother or maternal equivalent through this stage have a fundamental effect on the unconscious mind and thereby on deep feelings.

Well this might be the reasons:

I have lack of attachment on my mom. When I interrogate her about my babyhood she said, 

"I have work by then when you were young I almost don't have time to take care of you. Your older brother and sister took my place. " 

As I traced back her childhood. She wasn't attached to her mom when she was young. Might be, it was in their way of upbringing that happened to pass to the next generation. Hope it will not happen to my own....  

I'm trying to regress and patch up my relationship to my mother. Trying to be close to her but she seemed so cold, hard for her to show affection, no wonder why I have this kind of personality. My friends perceived me a strictly looking yet nice friend... at least got a little bit consultation of appreciation.  :-) 
As of now?... Trust? its hard for me to trust anybody. One of the reason why can't stick to an close intimate partnership. I can't blame my self but trying to resolve it...

I don't want to believe on the statement about "You cannot give what you don't have". But in my case I almost believe. Hope also that I can go through this struggling inner self of mine. I as I face to my every day life.

Michelle Branch

Michelle Branch is one of my favorite female artist. Shes 27 years young.Her real name is Michelle Jacquet Desevren Branch Landau. I really like her the way she strum her guitar and her compositions was very inspiring to me. Her songs were always on my list in my portable player. She also won MTV Video Music Awards - viewers choice, Grammy Awards of Best Pop Collaboration with vocals, Music Row Awards - Major Label Break out Artist of the Year and lot more awards... I like the simplicity of her beauty and talent. I keep on playing her songs and videos... 

Here's one of the lyrics of her songs that I like... 


Everywhere Lyrics by Michelle Branch

Turn it inside out so I can see
The part of you that's drifting over me
And when I wake you're never there
But when I sleep you're everywhere
You're everywhere


Just tell me how I got this far
Just tell me why you're here and who you are
'Cause every time I look
you're never there
And every time I sleep
you're always there


'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone


I recognize the way you make me feel
It's hard to think that
you might not be real
I sense it now, the water's getting deep
I try to wash the pain away from me
Away from me


'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone


I am not alone
Whoa, oh, oooh, oh


And when I touch your hand
It's then I understand
The beauty that's within
It's now that we begin
You always light my way
I hope there never comes a day
No matter where I go
I always feel you so


'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I catch my breath
it's you I breathe
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone


You're in everyone I see
So tell me
Do you see me?

Why tears are salty?





When I was younger, I wonder why tears are salty and I never have the idea until  I've just scanned on the article of Anti- Stress therapy. It stated:

"Crying is one of natures most effective  anti-stress therapy. Tears help reduce stress, stabilized emotions and remove toxins!"

These are some of  the lists that I think:

- I guess most of the persons who suffer from toxic goiter are much more suppressive that happened to have lesser the number of times crying. As a support, I remember there's a situation of a friend  had a Toxic Goiter while taking her medications there's a lot of unstoppable tears rushing through her eyes and she said it smells mushy...  I guess that was the toxins in her body.

-  I guess most of the persons who suffer from toxic goiter are the persons who are much more expressive and that also happened due to excessive tears flowing in their eyes that leads to a decrease of sodium and protein in the body or converted into tears.

For toxic Goiter patient.  I guess it is good for you to cry..... If you are not that emotional.. try to peel an onion maybe the toxins in your body will rush in your eyes plus your eyes will be cleansed.

For Non Toxic Goiter patient.  It's not bad for being a cry baby,because crying is the cleansing of the soul. But be sure after you cry you must eat foods that reach in protein and iodine. Try to eat chocolates and also try fruit that you can dip into salt. So that the Sodium or Proteins that was happened to be your poured tears , will be replaced...


Now I know why tears are salty!

Hopes With Jesus


      My father died eight (8) years ago. It was very frustrating on my part because all members of the family was there, except me. I felt so guilty about it.

   By then there's a lot of problems appeared in emotional, physical and also financial. Our house was pawned. Until now and I don't have the idea how it will going to... My mother doesn't have work anymore because she's already old and she has a heart failure. My brothers and sisters I don't know if what their plans about this problem. Some have their own family and others have their own priorities and concerns. I felt bombarded everytime will ask for an apology to the person whom my mom pawned the house.

   As of now, I can't so anything to solve it but instead do my part as a youngest daughter who is working hard. And maybe soon by journeying with Jesus I'm  the one will find a solution for this problem.

Serotonin

To kill the time and boredom I got the chance to go to mall and pick a book. I bought the book entitled "Happiness for Teenagers".  I'm so excited to read it and  as I scanned the pages this topic caught my attention. 

It's about Serotonin,  it states that:

" The most important  chemicals of our body is the brain amine named Serotonin.  Lack of it there will no juice on our brain.No juice, no connection, no thought or action. The amount of Serotonin available available  for our brain determines our energy level. Our degree of motivation, our ability to  to memorize and our ability to concentrate on school work or sports or whatever you are trying to concentrate on. Te level of this also directly controls how happy we feel."

 And as I come to read more and more I was motivated to  move and face the p.c and searched about it.

Lack of serotonin - Lethargic, irritable, depressed, possibly suicidal, hopeless, obsessed with loneliness and guilt , critical of self and others and withdrawn from people. You will find yourself more aware of emotional pain, especially when you first wake up in the morning. You'll tend to wake up fairly open in the middle of the night and require an hour or longer to fall back asleep.

And I've found out also the foods that helps increase serotonin in our body. 



 Just a small amounts of these foods... cause everything of too much is not good. Hope this info could help for me and you ... :-)
