how rude!

imagine that you are driving on the road (and mind you, its the main road) and out comes a vehicle from the housing area, stopped in the middle of the road and horns...

i was wondering who was that driver honking at.. there were no oncoming cars from the opposite direction. at last i found out that he was actually honking at me...! and when he was behind me, he had the guts to flash his headlights at me! (i didn't do anything wrong!) am i suppose to stop at the main road for him to come out? well i don't think so.. i remembered clearly that any cars on the main road has the right away and not the vehicle coming out from the housing area...

anyway... back to the story.. well the traffic light was red, so red means stop. he wanted to get out of his car to do something, which well freaked me out.. just because i didn't stop for him he wanted to get out of the car? (i don't get the logic in that?)

when the traffic light turned green, i couldn't move, more of i didn't move for the car from the previous green light had blocked the way and wanted to get to the next lane, so i allowed her. BUT the same driver behind me started honking at me!! What could i do? drive straight and hit the oncoming car? i guess he didn't see but rather just use his ars to think! he had ticked me off till i just angrily waved my left hand up to indicate 'stupid' and i look back (i didn't know why i did that, probably cuz i was annoyed with the impatient driver behind me).

and when i managed to get to where i needed to go, he drove pass me and gave me the index finger wave as though i did something wrong.. how stupid is that? oh well... there are many kinds of drivers out there!

it doesn't matter now for it had past, but i just hope not to see that driver again on the road... i remembered what make is the car but unsure of the color for it was dark.. it was either green or silver. but one thing is for sure.. its a toyota avanza.

the wonders of honey...

Honey is the only food (liquid) on the planet that will not spoil or rot.
It will do what some call turning to sugar.

In reality honey is always honey.
However, when left in a cool dark place for a long time it will do
what I rather call "crystallizing". When this happens I would loosen the lid, boil some water, and let the honey container sit in the hot water, turn off the heat and let it liquefy. It is then as good as it ever was.
Never boil honey or put it in a microwave. To do so will kill the
enzymes in the honey.

CINNAMON AND HONEY

Facts on Honey and Cinnamon: It is found that a mixture of honey and Cinnamon cures most diseases.
Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world. Scientists today also accept honey as a 'Ram Ban' (very effective)
medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey can be used without any side effects for any kind of diseases.

Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients.
Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada , in its issue, dated 17 January, 1995 has given the following list of diseases that can be cured by honey and cinnamon as researched by western scientists:

HEART DISEASES:
Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread, instead of jelly and jam, and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from
heart attack.
Also, those who have already had an attack, if they do this process
daily, they are kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heart beat.
In America and Canada , various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as you age, the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and veins.

ARTHRITIS:
Arthritis patients may take daily, morning and night, one cup of hot
water with two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder.
If taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent

CHOLESTEROL:
Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon Powder mixed in16 ounces of tea water,given to a cholesterol patient, were found to reduce the level of
cholesterol in the blood by 10 percent within two hours
as mentioned for arthritic patients, if taken three times a day, any
chronic cholesterol is cured.
According to information received in the said Journal, pure honey
taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.

lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily

its scary driving on the road...

time and again it happens...

there will always be driver on the road who don't care much about their safety and would always cause accidents. well i would definitely say that i have personally encounter such drivers on the road. they seem to have this attitude that they would always get their way without signaling or even with signaling.

its scary now a days to drive on the road.. where you are always aware of such drivers... (no offense if i would say/ write this...) but it always seems that majority of this kind of drivers appear to be ladies.. well majority of them.. and minority would be men. well not all can't drive properly... its just that it is just that we have to be cautious of them. Its always anticipation on how other drivers do on the road..

listening to a colleague, he mentioned that there are even some who don't even put up any 'P' sticker on the car and they are the one's that get into accidents. its scarily true... i pity motorcyclist, for they are small and most cars on the road would hardly notice them.. but then again.. there are some that weave in and out of traffic and that causes drivers to slam on the brakes that may cause an accident..
