Vacation to Bald Head Island

Bald Head Island has become popular lately due to its celebration of the National Lighthouse Day. The annual event's purpose is to raise funds for the preservation of 192-year-Old Baldy, the oldest standing lighthouse at North Carolina.

I just wish I could spend some nice vacation at the Bald Head Island...

The Natural and Healthy Solution to Stay Awake

I have mentioned in my previous post, that I am a nocturnal person and that I come so alive in the evening and I can stay up late even until the next morning. But as human as I am (hehehe), I sometimes need an “upper” when there are times that I really need to stay up late, especially when I’m doing research works, making grades and the stuffs like that.

I have never been a coffee-addict, but I have tried drinking coffee when I need to stay up late, especially on the wee hours of the morning. I also tried gulping a liter of coke, (gradually, of course). Aside from these two, I have never tried any other types of “upper”; but lately I have read that there is a more natural and healthy way of staying up late, rather than caffeine consumption or coke-gulping.

Did You Know…

Apples are more efficient at waking you up in the morning when you need to stay up late. Hmmm… I haven’t tried this, but definitely I will when the need arises. For now, I don’t need apples for staying up late; I just need it to balance my diet.

And if you have tried this, will you be kind enough to tell me if this worked for you?

An Unknown Health Booster

Researchers have discovered that events such as pleasant family celebrations or evenings with friends boost the immune system for the following two days. Unpleasant moments had the opposite effect: negative events, such as being criticized at work, weakened the immune function for one day afterward.
