On the surface, alcohol and exercise make strange bedfellows, but a new study published in the European Heart Journal sets out to legitimise the union. People who drink moderate (1-14 drinks per week) amounts of alcohol weekly and are physically active run a lower risk of death from fatal ischaemic heart disease (a form of heart disease ( Read more... )

我竟然在跨年的第一天哭了。 
我不是一个爱哭鬼。
也许是泪腺不发达的缘故，我已经忘了自己最后一次哭是什么时候。
他问我到底受了什么委屈，我怎样也说不出个所以然。
我依稀记得，倒在他怀里放声大哭的霎那间，
只觉得身上一直背负的沉重包袱，终于完完全全地卸下来了。

小时候，听过一个关于一条贪得无厌的狗的故事。
话说，有一条狗坐在屋前啃着一个美味可口的骨头。
啃着、啃着、这条狗觉得口渴，便走到河边喝水。
当狗低头想喝水，它看见河里有一条狗和自己长得一模一样，口里同样含着一个骨头。
心想：怎么它的骨头看上去比我的大、比我的甜美。
就在这时，它贪心四起，便张嘴对着河里的狗狂吠，企图把对方吓跑，霸占它的骨头。
说时迟，那时快，在狗崽子张开口的瞬间，骨头从它口里扑通地掉进河里。
那条狗急忙跳进河里尝试把骨头捡回来，可惜骨头早已经被湍急的河水给冲走了。

这则小故事警戒全天下的狗千万不要贪图别人家的骨头，
搞不成两头不着岸，最后还可能面临遭受世人唾弃的命运！

早上醒来觉得冷飕飕的，决定穿件长袖上衣去上班。
当我踏进地铁车厢，天空还是一片阴霾。
怎知我走出Outram地铁站时，迎面而来的却是令人晕旋的热流和刺眼的阳光。
他妈的鬼天气!
