Limitless
Take off your baggages
Have a seat on that Tatami
Pour out some tea
Leave out worries
Simply enjoy this moment of peace
Slow down your pace
Leave some space
Decorate your busy world with Gags and Joy
Don't ever tell me you're tired of life
Cuz I sure will take you to the edge of it
Don't need to leave a name like Confucius
But do be a candle, light up people around you
Like my journey?
Then come join me!
Together, limitlessly, we explore freedom and happiness

Spring is here!
Birds are singing early in the mornings; Fat squirrels are bouncing around again after only a brief winter; Raccoons are out stalking at night with their glowing eyes.
Trees are budding, some flowers are already in full blossom. Can’t resist evening’s beauty right here in King’s circle.
Spring is here
Summer can’t be far
June will you greet me earlier
Cuz I can’t wait any longer to embrace my favorite flower—

How we decide.
Wanted to share this excerpt from a book titled “How We Decide”. The author sets out to explore the importance of the emotional part of our brain. Many case studies and experiments were discussed in the book. Here’s one of them. It’s heart warming to know that we are programmed to care for one another.
The Moral Mind:
But these tragic examples are exceptions to the rule. We are
designed to feel one another’s pain so that we’re extremely distressed
when we hurt others and commit moral transgressions.
Sympathy is one of humanity’s most basic instincts, which is why
evolution lavished so much attention on mirror neurons, the
fusiform face area, and those other brain regions that help theorize
about other minds. As long as a person is loved as a child
and doesn’t suffer from any developmental disorders, the human
brain will naturally reject violence and make fair offers and try
to comfort the crying child. This behavior is just a basic part of
who we are. Evolution has programmed us to care about one
another.
Consider this poignant experiment: six rhesus monkeys were
trained to pull on a variety of chains to get food. If they pulled
on one chain, they got a large amount of their favorite food. If
they pulled on a different chain, they got a small amount of a less
enticing food. As you can probably guess, the monkeys quickly
learned to pull on the chain that gave them more of what they
wanted. They maximized their reward.
After a few weeks of this happy setup, one of the six monkeys
got hungry and decided to pull on the chain. This is when something
terrible happened: a separate monkey in a different cage
was shocked with a painful jolt of electricity. All six monkeys
saw it happen. They heard the awful shriek. They watched the
monkey grimace and cower in fear. The change in their behavior
was immediate. Four of the monkeys decided to stop pulling on
the maximizing chain. They were now willing to settle for less
food as long as the other monkey wasn’t hurt. The fifth monkey
stopped pulling on either chain for five days, and the sixth monkey
stopped pulling for twelve days. They starved themselves so
that a monkey they didn’t know wasn’t forced to suffer.

What a refreshing fruit plate.
Haven’t dedicated the time to cut up such a variety in a while. Now I know which word had just popped up in your mind, as it did in mine too minutes earlier; though I don’t think that’s the correct word to use. Thinking about it, I was just too caught up in all kinds of little things and had FORGOTTEN how enjoyable, or more concisely, how much utility I am able to derive from these healthy and tasty fruits:
Crunchy peach slices well enclose their interior pink flesh, just like the way my girl buries her pink cheeks in her hands when she occasionally comes cross the feeling of shyness. Then there’s juicy apply chunks, smooth but slippery mango pieces, blood squirting oranges, and weird tasting plums.
It’s not hard to enjoy a day. A maximum of thirty minutes was set aside for this simple but energizing fruit platter. This is just one of many little things that brightens up my day. One forty eighth of an day for a smile? Now I’d make that trade any day.
Aside: Was intrigued by the crimson charm came out of that blood orange. So apparently its color comes from anthocyanin (anthos = flower, kyanos = blue), a pigment that appears red, purple or blue in different pH environment. It’s red in this case due to the low pH, acidic setting in citrus fruits. These belong to the same species as regular orange, but are required to be grown in low night temperatures to develop anthocyanin. As such, they are mostly grown during the Mediterranean falls and winters, and may have originated from either China or Southern Mediterranean. If you ever visit Italy, you’ll find these in abundance, as they are the primary orange grown there.
Influenced by my personal nutritionist, I had to check out its nutrition content. Just like any oranges, not only are these a great source of Vitamin C (no duh…), they also provide 28% of your daily need of dietary fiber. So if you ever have problem pooping, consider having an orange a day =D.
Ps. Never buy fruits from no frills. Half of the peach and plums i bought on Monday had gone bad inside out. Better sticking to the ghetto, but cheap and fresh supermarkets in Chinatown like Golden Cow. = =
