Age doesn't matter

At one point in our lives we all experience to fall in love. Maybe there are times we dated a man who's either too young or too old for us. Think 8-10 years younger or older. What is the difference of dating younger men or older men? Did it lead us to a relationship? Does age ruin the relationship or lead it to a nice happy ending?

I am into a relationship right now and he is older than me. So, what? We compliment each other, enjoy each other company, respect one another, love and devote each each other.
Does age really matter? If there are no family problems to deal with just enjoy each other every day you can don't let anyone mess with your relationship. Face the world face the reality no matter what people say as long as you have each other everything will be fine. Life is too short let it be happy!

In my relationship, i achieved a certain level of experience, confidence and unconditional love. He help me face a lot of things in life encourage me to be strong and be mature. I am very grateful that i have him in my life. Love is not only having common interest, its more on sharing love in equal amounts and not asking anything in return. What's important is compatibility and respect. If there's no respect no relationship will work. If there is love let there be and enjoy the love you have.

Age is just a number! Don't count the age of your partner instead count the beautiful things you guys did to each other. We don't know how long it will last but at least we treasure everything and have the knowledge and trust that it won't end badly that you two will separate till your last breath.

It is important to find a partner who will listen to our needs, brought something to the relationship, a great person, someone who believes in you, someone who sees you for a person you are, not just a sex object or a project or a person he can manipulate or controlled. The wrong person may come in different races, age, shapes and sizes. I don't think there's anything wrong with two people that care with each other pursuing a real great relationship. There is nothing wrong falling in love to person older than you are. So, forget those critics. Live life to the fullest.

There are lot of people who will understand and accept what you have. Lots of them may judge you by choosing your partner, but that is not important. The important thing is you and your partner who understand each other. It's not about money its all about what you feel, about the things you can see and do its about the beautiful things that you and your partner can do. Forget all the people who's there to bother you and say bad things about you. Be the great person you are.

You can be used, and taken for granted by people of any age by people of any races. It isn't the age. Accept the person for who they are and know the person before you judge them.

I was so blessed i found the person who respect me well and accept me the way i am. I don't care about our age gap. It's a matter of respect and true love and acceptance.

Eggs

Chicken Egg and Quail Egg


Did you know that the average weight of an egg is about 2 ounces, it has 10 % of shells, 60 % of white and 30 % of yolk.

How to choose Egg?

There are severals to determine the freshness of an egg. A common test is to palce the egg between the ear and a strong light. If fresh the white of the egg will appear translucent and the outline of the yolk can be traced.

Another test is to shake the egg gently at the ear, if the egg gurgle or thud is heard the egg is considered a bad egg.

Egg is considered a good source of protein and choline, Vitamin A, Riboflavin, Vitamin B-12, Iron, Zinc, phosporus, calcium, potassium and other nutrients.

Chicken eggs are widely used in many types of dishes. Eggs can be pickled, hard boiled, soft boiled, scrambled, fried and refrigerated. They can also be eaten raw.

I remember, almost every morning my niece requested for egg. Sunny side up is her favorite. And, she really like a boiled quail egg, everytime we went to a grocery store she always make sure she has her quail egg and her chicken egg on the basket.

Other family member want it to be scrambled but i want my egg in friend, mix with onions, tomatoes and potatoes. Oh so yummy! And, for other dish like chopseuy a mixed veggies with lots of boiled quail egg.

1 Litre of Tears

Aya Kito was diagnosed with a disease called spinocerebellar Degeneration when she was 15 years old. The disease causes the person to lose control over their body, but because the person can retain all mental ability the disease acts as a prison. Aya discovers this disastrous news as the disease has already developed. There is no cure.

Through family, medical examinations and rehabilitations, and finally succumbing to the disease, Aya must cope with the disease and live on with life until her death at the age of 25.

Erika Sawajiri who played Aya



Aya in real life


Recently i watch the full version of the Japanese TV drama series "One Litre of Tears. It's so inspiring and a great story too! Aya Ikeuchi the girl who suffers Spinocerebellar Degeneration was played by Erika Sawajiri. The drama series is heart touching which will make anyone cry and watch the entire series. A very inspiring story, a girl who suffer and keep on fighting for her disease, not losing hope and inspires many people. Aya is a fighter!

But do you know what is Spinocerebellar Degeneration?

Symptoms

Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is one of a group of genetic disorders characterized by slowly progressive incoordination of gait and often associated with poor coordination of hands, speech, and eye movements. Frequently, atrophy of the cerebellum occurs, and different ataxias are known to affect different regions within the cerebellum.

As with other forms of ataxia, SCA results in unsteady and clumsy motion of the body due to a failure of the fine coordination of muscles movements, along with other symptoms

The symptoms of an ataxia vary with the specific type and with the individual patient. Generally, a person with ataxia retains full mental capacity but may progressively lose physical control.

Treatment and prognosis

There is no known cure for spinocerebellar ataxia, which is a progressive disease (it gets worse with time), although not all types cause equally severe disability.

Treatments are generally limited to softening symptoms, not the disease itself. The condition can be irreversible. A person with this disease will usually end up needing to use a wheelchair, and eventually they may need assistance to perform daily tasks.

The treatment of incoordination or ataxia, then mostly involves the use of adaptive devices to allow the ataxic individual to maintain as much independence as possible. Such devices may include a cane, crutches, walker, or wheelchair for those with impaired gait; devices to assist with writing, feeding, and self care if hand and arm coordination are impaired; and communication devices for those with impaired speech.

Many patients with hereditary or idiopathic forms of ataxia have other symptoms in addition to ataxia. Medications or other therapies might be appropriate for some of these symptoms, which could include tremor, stiffness, depression, spasticity, and sleep disorders, among others.

Inheritance

The hereditary ataxias are categorized by mode of inheritance and causative gene or chromosomal locus. The hereditary ataxias can be inherited in an autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked manner.
