5 Reasons You Don't Need to Give Up Coffee

I <3 coffee, although I'm not an addict and I try to have de-caf coffee always, but the smell of freshly brewed coffee is so aaaaaaaah *heart*

so here are 5 reasons why u should never ever consider giving up coffee:

1. Coffee is chock-full of antioxidant benefits that will make you able to drink to your health. What exactly do antioxidants do? Well, they work to prevent free radical damage and disease from harming all of the cells in your body, meaning that you will be less likely to show signs of premature aging or illness. This is the number one way to keep your body strong for a longer period of time!

2. Java is known to reduce the risk of colon cancer when it is consumed on a daily basis, normally at 2 to 3 cups per day. This may primarily be because of the antioxidant benefits, but it still works to reduce the risk of colon cancer for male and female coffee drinkers alike.

3. Java is going to help you work out stronger, smarter, and faster. It also blocks chemicals that cause soreness in your muscles, so you be will less likely to have inflammation in your muscles after a workout, making it all the more enjoyable for you. Plus, with the caffeine boost, you will be able to perform in your workout for much longer because you will have increased energy and stamina.

4. If you are looking for some babies in the near future, coffee has been known to increase fertility in men, which is perfect for any couples who are trying to start a family. Isn’t it fantastic to think that your average cup of Joe can give you some added Mojo to procreate?

5. Java has also been known to prevent Alzheimer’s because it strengthens the blood brain barrier, which is normally weakened in Alzheimer’s patients. This means that regular coffee drinkers can count themselves as the lucky ones who are less likely to suffer from this disease as they get older because the blood brain barrier will be strengthened in their body, making them less susceptible to dementia.


and that's why I lurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrveee coffee *winks*

Happy Birthday Nouf, and a Happy New Year

I don’t really know why it’s so hard for me to write a post on my birthday, it actually took place on the 31st of Dec, 2009. I can’t really tell if it’s about me getting older, or it’s just the fact that I have to gather all my thoughts into one place, and that’s really hard, for me at least.

Anyways, there came my birthday again on a Thursday, and finished when new year’s kicked in. It’s always funny to hear people telling me why I came to this world in such a hurry, and how I couldn’t wait for another day to have my birthday on a new year. What can I say, قدر الله وماشاء فعل

but despite that, I really like my birth date, it’s kinda special to me <3

My birthday was a blast, I enjoyed having all my sisters around to celebrate, I also went to Atlantis to continue my celebrations later on that night, I loved it. It was WAY better than last year’s birthday *ugh* 

aaaaaaaaaaaah, it’s true that I hate getting older every year, but I will still be young at heart  *winks*


I was so touched by the lovely gift that my sister left on my bed along with the cutest card ever I was touched even more by the surprise gift I got from my dear friend who I consider another sister of mine, Mouza <3 Thanks girls you made my day and I am so blessed to have you both in my life

Now let’s come to new year 2010, I am so looking forward to it, I hope it treats me better than 2007, 2008, and 2009 *sigh*

2009 Highlights:

• I got rid of a huge obstable *thank you God I can never thank you enough*
• Made some great friends
• My sister got married
• My other sister gave birth to the most beautiful boy in the world, baby 7amdan <3

2009 I hated you *for a very personal reason* I am so glad you’re over, I hope  2010 kicks your ASS

No matter how hard I try, Chocolate is the only thing in life that I can’t stop resisting !! and nothing can beat the feeling of a piece of chocolate melting in your mouth *aaaaaaaaah* <3

I can have chocolate for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, anything lol

Here are some chocolate quotes that I thought I HAVE to share *wink*

• Strength is the capacity to break a chocolate bar into four pieces with your bare hands – and then eat just one of the pieces 
• There’s nothing better than a good friend, except a good friend with CHOCOLATE lol
• Forget love– I’d rather fall in chocolate!!!
• I never met a chocolate I didn’t like
• Nobody knows the truffles I’ve seen!
• Nuts just take up space where chocolate ought to be *grin*
• Put the chocolate in the bag and nobody gets hurt
• Simply put… everyone has a price, mine is chocolate!

check out those yummy snaps, and I warn you, view at your own risk:

and here is an amazing one, that we got from Geneva last year *giggles*

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah <3
