"Dance With My Father"

         

          I first heard this song on FM Station and I easily liked the song. The song is telling a story about how bad he loved to dance with his Father again, who is now in heaven. The song is like a diary of his childhood that tells his experiences with his Father. The sad thing is he can only do so much but to dream about it that would never be happened  again in reality. Luther Vandross, the owner of the song died  just the album "Dance With My Father" was launched. I found out in Youtube that Luther's Father died when he was only nine years old. He didn't have a chance to see how successful his song became but I know that he is happy right now because his dream to dance with his Father again becomes real now that he is together with his Father again in heaven.
          Whenever that song is played I can't help but to sing along with it and to think about my Father who is far away from me. He is working in Canada as a skilled welder and I am always praying that he is safe. He always leaves us when I was a child to work abroad. That thing was the reason why I am not close to him. He have worked in Africa, Saudi and now in Canada. I know his all sacrifices and I am thanking him about that. The sad thing is I can't bring myself close to him but I know that I love him and I wish him nothing but for him to be alright. The song "Dance With My Father Again" was surely moved the hearts of all the Father and son or daughter in the world, so as me

Coffee Makes Me Happy:)

 

          I always start my day with a cup of coffee that makes me comfy. Sometimes I want my coffee with cream and sometimes I leaved it black. I drink two to three medium cups of  coffee a day. It is like an energizer to me that makes me up to do my daily life. I can think better when I'm drinking it. I am energetic and funny or fool when I had it. It makes my eyes wide at knight when doing my assignments and projects in school. Drinking coffee becomes my tradition when reviewing for my exams since then. My brain becomes sponge that absorbs all the information that I needed to have a high score in my exams. Math is the only exception. Coffee can't do anything to lift up my grades in Math. I think I should overdose myself to caffeine just to become savvy on that subject. Well anyway, even coffee has no match with my Math, I'm still amazed of what can coffee do. I am always alive because of the best beverage in the world, my precious coffee and I can say, coffee completes my day and coffee makes me happy.
         

Facts About Coffee

          When drunk in moderation (four to five regular size cups a day) is safe for healthy adults and can even have beneficial health implications as part of a healthy diet and physically active lifestyle.
          Medical and scientific organizations around the world advise pregnant women to consume no more than 300 mg of caffeine per day (equivalent to 3 regular size cups of coffee). Recent guidance from the Food Standards Agency in the UK recommends that pregnant women limit their caffeine intake to 200 mg per day (approximately two regular size cups of coffee). It remains to be seen whether this precautionary point of view will be endorsed by scientific bodies around the world. All sources of caffeine should be considered when considering total daily intake; including coffee, tea, cola drinks, energy drinks and chocolate.
