A friend of mine sent me this email as a forward, and I laughed so much I decided to share it with you!! Enjoy it...

19 Things That It Took Me 50 Years To Learn
By Dave Barry...


1. Never under any circumstances take a sleeping pill and a laxative
on the same night.

2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race
has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that
word would be “meetings”.

3. There is a very fine line between “hobby” and “mental illness.”

4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost
never want you to share yours with them.

5. And when God, who created the entire universe with all of its
glories, decides to deliver a message to humanity, He WILL NOT use, as
His messenger, a person on cable TV with a bad hairstyle.

6. You should not confuse your career with your life.

7. No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously.

8. When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one
individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command.
Very often, that individual is crazy.

9. Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.

10. Never lick a steak knife.

11. Take out the fortune before you eat the cookie.

12. The most powerful force in the universe is gossip.

13. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and
compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.

14. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely
suggests that you think she’s pregnant unless you can see an actual
baby emerging from her at that moment.

15. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to
make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age 11.

16. “The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age,
gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep
down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.

17. The main accomplishment of almost all organized protests is to
annoy people who are not in them.

18. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person.

19. Your friends love you anyway.

What's the meaning of teaching to me?

I've decided to bring something that i thought i would be doing it long time ago, that is Teaching.
Teaching is everything i wanted and desired, when i found myself pondering about what i was going to do with my life, that's when i knew i wanted to be a teacher...i guess sports was the most obvious choice as a subject to teach for me, since i was very fond of any sport and physical activity.



It has been awhile since i earned my degree ( Officially, only one year ago ) and sometimes i wonder if i made the right decision, knowing i'm unemployed and with no future prospects. I remember something that happened to me while i was doing my internship in a swimming pool, as a swimming teacher to 3-4 years old. On my last day as a teacher, all the children queued when the class finished...so that each one of them could give me one hug and a goodbye kiss. I admit to almost cry, and i felt something very rewarding...and i found out, teaching is not a job to me, it's more like a pleasurable thing to me...it's not the money that it is important but knowing that we can make a difference in somebody's life, even if it's only one kid.
I believe that as a teacher, i can't change everyone or fix everyone, but if i can help at least one child, isn't it all worth it?

Two Cafes .

EP
===

TWO cafes i would like to find some time and try next week .

1.) INITIAL



It is a Fashion boutique also a café and salon combined in one area .
” INITIAL “ is a fashion brand name from England . they believed
providing an elegant / quiet leisure café area is indispensable for customers
after shopping or for those busy urbanites to have a” time-out “ from
the hustle bustle city life .
Very eager to try their salivary coffee and cakes , also take a look at
their interior design since all tables / chains / decorations are antiques
repaired and reused to match their theme “ environmental protection “ .

2.) Cafe Corridor





A small place in Causeway Bay , owner of the cafe also run his own
coffee bean business ( Coffee Assembly ) . Specialy like the Latte art on surface
of the coffee and the atmosphere seems cozy like at home .

================================
Hope i have time to visit both cafes next week ,
but the cafe i miss the most is the " Pois cafe " in Portugal .
