Childhood Memories

All of sudden, I think of my childhood memories..
I was a skinny and shy since childhood. I was a village girl, still a village woman and will always be a village person.

I have a very wonderful childhood memories although my family was not a wealthy family. Paddy field, jungle and even the river became my playground. Mud, dirt & wet is no big problem for a village Girl like me. In fact it just marked how wonderful life can be. As ignorant as other normal child I never give a damn about how hard my parent work to earn money just to ensure all of their kids have a proper education, a place to be called home and a proper meal.
I missed to play " kono-kono ", I missed to play football, I missed our "berkelah" time along the banks of sungai kulabut.. Gosh, so many bittersweet memory I have been through with my fellow friend back then.. I even missed the "gusti" match between our village and kampung sebelah ( Kg. Kokob ).. I wondered whether Beaty still remember the fiesty match between Amy and Noni at the bus-stop nearby En. Taipin house..
Too many memories and a few minutes won't be enough to tell everything but I will hint one or two memory now and then in my post okay..
As a child I dreamed to be a successful person in future. That time I thought everything will happened as I dreamed of and planned of. Never did once occurred to me that life itself is a challenge until I reached the age of puberty.
Most Important I never thought about :- MONEY PROBLEM
Memang best kan memories time budak2..
If I am granted with a wish, I will wish to re-live my childhood memories where I only saw the best in everything and never worry about everything..

So tell me what is your best childhood memories?

Let it out and cry

Reasons why having a good blub is good for you

Most people will hold back tears or emotional upset so as not to look weak, silly or because they are worried others will perceive it as a loss of control. Crying tears is something which is unique to humans, whether it is tears of joy or sadness. However, having a good cry every once in a while is actually very good for you and can help your emotional wellbeing. We have a look at some of the reasons why letting yourself go and having a good cry can be good for you.

Studies have found that crying can help the body to relax and that once a person has given into their emotions and cried the body changes from a state of high arousal to one that is more relaxed. Breathing slows as does a person’s heart rate and blood pressure can also lower.

Being able to acknowledge your feelings is good for your emotional wellbeing and helps people to deal with them rather than bottling them up. It acts as a release enables you to understand yourself better and deal and recover from stress, anger and sadness naturally. Burying your emotions can also affect your short-term memory.

Crying also helps to relieve stress and get rid of stress hormones in the body. Researchers have found that tears contain these stress hormones which can damage every system in our body, including our brain cells. Crying is a natural way to get rid of these harmful hormones.

It can help to strengthen bonds in humans. When a person cries, they are in a vulnerable state emotionally and the tears cloud their eyes and therefore their judgment. When you are in this deteriorated state someone usually cares for you reinforcing ties and connections between humans.

Tears don’t just contain stress hormones, but many other chemical components. When a person cries it is a normal way for the body to release and rid the body of these toxins and waste material which could potentially harm us.

Crying may also help the body to prevent bacterial growth on the surface of the eye as the tears contain an element called lysozyme. Tears that don’t make it to the surface of the eye, drain through to the nose which helps to keep the nose moist and again the lysozyme prevents bacterial growth in the nose.

Crying can reflect deep feelings within a person and can help them to get over pain or hurt. It’s a valve to release emotions and can help a person’s to get over a sad occasion such as the death of someone. Research have found that crying during a grieving process helps people to look and feel better.
