Love thyself

"Love thyself.  If no one, who else will? If you won't, no one else will."

Do not allow yourself to pity you. 

The world does not benefit nor rejoice on your putting yourself down. 

YOU are your most valuable thing. 

Before anything else, it must be yourself. 

To love yourself above others is never selfish.

How many times have you told yourself you are careless or stupid? 

Just because you tipped the glass and spilled the milk, doesn't mean you are stupid. 

Just because you didn't catch the falling crumb, doesn't mean you are a klutz.

 Some things just happen - only gravity is to blame. 

fr-brrr-ozen yogurt

Yogurt. It is a fermented dairy product from milk. 

Technically, fermentation is the process of chemical conversion with the use of microorganisms. Microorganisms are not necessarily bad. Bacteria is not necessarily bad - they're just like us, some are good, some are evil. 

In yogurt, the microorganisms are from the genus lactobacillus. Lacto, from lactose and bacillus, which means rod-shaped. Putting them together, they are rod-shaped bacteria which convert milk (majority lactose) to lactic acid. Lactic acid makes the yogurt tart. Expired milk has high lactic acid, so it's tart. WAIT. Can expired milk be called yogurt? NO. You can't tell if it's the "good bacteria" that's making it tart.

Is it good for you? YES and YES. No.1: Lactobacillus is a naturally-occuring microorganism in the human stomach. They are in the line of defense when infection attacks. So when the enemy is plenty, there's also plenty of casualties in our army. So why not recruit more troops? No.2: It is friendlier than milk. If you're lactose-intolerant, this one's for you. Since the microorganisms started the chewing for you, you'll have a little left to digest. No.3: Since it's from milk, it's got the calcium! And there is still a lot more. 

YO-GO BOY frozen yogurt

So what's froyo? Frozen yogurt means literally as it is spelled - it's super cooled yogurt. It's sweeter because

howdy. 

the lair came into existence with the first thought of having a place to put down almost anything - from an idea, an experience, a helpful tip to troubleshooting your machine. just about anything. 

be wary, however, that this is not a serious blog. this is more of  a literary and idea compilation, a little window to view life in a new perspective, a hodgepodge of thoughts and activities and most especially, an outlet.
