Money Worries Make Women Spend More
At times of crisis women are more inclined to spend themselves out of misery than at stable times, a new survey suggests. Psychologists say that the recession could force more women to overspend or increase their risk of mental illness.
A survey conducted by Professor Karen Pine, from the University of Hertfordshire and author of Sheconomics, to be released on 21 May 2009 found that 79% of women said they would go on a spending spree to cheer themselves up. Professor Pine’s research concludes that some women use shopping as an emotion regulator, a way of anesthetising themselves to negative feelings or dissatisfaction with life. So worrying about money could, paradoxically, lead women to spend more.
Of the 700 women surveyed, four out of ten named ‘depression’, and six out of ten named ‘feeling a bit low’, as reasons to go on a spending spree and overspend. Women commonly expressed the view that shopping has the power to make them feel better.
Professor Pine’s research found that an intense emotional state, high or low, could send women to the shops. “This type of spending, or compensatory consumption, serves as a way of regulating intense emotions,” she said.
This ability to regulate emotions is crucial for mental and physical wellbeing and humans adopt a variety of means of doing so, including drugs and alcohol. Shopping is one method increasingly adopted by women.
“If shopping is an emotional habit for women they may feel the need to keep spending despite the economic downturn,” said Professor Pine. “Or, perhaps worse still, if they can’t spend we might see an increase in mental health problems such as anxiety and depression.”
Not all the women in the survey felt cheered up by the shopping experience. One in four had experienced feelings of regret, guilt or shame after buying something in the week prior to the survey. And seven out of ten women had worried about money during the same period. Yet if these women shop when feeling down they risk getting trapped in a vicious cycle of highs and lows akin to that found in other addictions.

Thingking Of You Every Night and Day..
I thought of you today
But this nothing new
I thought about you yesterday and the day before that too
For everyday good or bad,you'll always be in my head
I hope you've understood everything I've said
This isn't just a joke or a silly lie
I'm sorry I do something to make you really mad
It only comes back and makes me really sad
I REALLY DO LOVE YOU and everything you are
I hope this relationship gets really far
I'll never get you out,I simply don't know how
In fact I'M THINKING OF YOU right about now
Your everything I need and everything to me
You know exactly who you are and what you want to be
You always make me smile just by being there
I hope you know how much I really do care about you
Every time I think of you,my stomach seems to twist
This is why I LOVE YOU,I've made a huge list
The list goes on forever and ever will it end
Neither will our relationship,you'll always be my friend
Not just a simple friend,but a special friend at that
I WANT TO SPEND MY WHOLE LIFE WITH YOU
i really do my sweetheart(NMH)
I honestly and really love you
I hope you love me too
This isn't just a stupid game
I really hope you feel the same
Because today,tomorrow,my whole life through
I will never stop loving you..
TO:xN M Hx =) happy anni
XOXO

THE BAD THING ABOUT SMOKING..!
Why should I stop smoking if I'm not addicted?
Many people don't realize they are addicted to smoking. They think they can easily quit any time they want. But when they try, they forget it is extremely difficult. Unfortunately, it is very easy to get addicted. Cigarettes are just as addictive as cocaine or heroin. Even if you only smoke one or two cigarettes a day and even if you've never bought a pack of cigarettes yourself, you are at risk. Stressful situations or hanging out with friends who smoke might cause you to smoke more and become addicted. Try going a whole week without smoking at all. If you find this difficult, you are probably addicted to cigarettes.
Everyone know smoking can cause cancer when you get older.But i'm not suprise if you get cancer before you get older.did you know that it also has bad effects on your body right now? A cigarette contains about 4000 chemicals, many of which of poisonous.As you might imagine, even small amounts of the poisonous chemicals in cigarettes can do bad things to your body.
Smoking makes you smell bad, gives you wrinkles, stains your teeth, and gives you bad breath.
Smokers get 3 times more cavities than non-smokers.
Smoking lowers your hormone levels.
When smokers catch a cold, they are more likely than non-smokers to have a cough that lasts a long time. They are also more likely than non-smokers to get bronchitis and pneumonia.
Teen smokers have smaller lungs and a weaker heart than teen non-smokers. They also get sick more often than teens who don't smoke.
Every time you inhale smoke from a cigarette, you kill some of the air sacks in your lungs, called alveoli. These air sacks are where the oxygen that you breathe in is transferred into your blood. Alveoli don't grow back, so when you destroy them, you have permanently destroyed part of your lungs. This means that you won't do as well in activities where breathing is important, like sports, dancing, or singing.
Smoking paralyzes the cilia that line your lungs. Cilia are little hairlike structures that move back and forth to sweep particles out of your lungs. When you smoke, the cilia can't move and can't do their job. So dust, pollen, and other things that you inhale sit in your lungs and build up. Also, there are a lot of particles in smoke that get into your lungs. Since your cilia are paralyzed because of the smoke and can't clean them out, the particles sit in your lungs and form tar. Many teens like the feeling that smoking gives them. This good feeling is from the nicotine in the cigarettes. Some teens think smoking will help them lose weight or stay thin. Many teens also feel like smoking gives them a sense of freedom and independence, and some smoke to feel more comfortable in social situations. If this sounds like you, you should stop and think about whether the things you like about smoking are really worth the risks.
Nicotine can make you feel good, but is feeling good (a feeling you can also get from healthy activities like playing sports) really worth all the bad things cigarettes do to you? If you smoke, you'll get sick more often. You also have the chance of getting lung cancer or emphysema, which will make you really sick for a long time before you die. If you are very sick, that good feeling from nicotine won't seem so important anymore.
Smoking doesn't really help people lose weight. If that were true, every smoker would be thin.
Smoking lowers your hormone levels.
Think about it this way: When you decide to start smoking, you are doing exactly what tobacco companies want you to do. They spend millions of dollars every year on advertising to try to get new people, especially teens, to smoke. Once they have you hooked, THEY are controlling YOU. You are forced to buy their products in order to support your addiction. Do you really want a big corporation controlling your life and telling you how to spend your money? Many people are afraid to quit smoking because they think they will gain weight. In reality, many do gain a little but not enough to change how they look. People don't gain weight because they stop smoking. They gain weight because they start eating more. Often, people confuse the feeling of craving nicotine with hunger and eat to try to make this uncomfortable feeling go away. Smokers are also used to having something in their hands and in their mouth, so they may pick up food to replace holding a cigarette. To keep from gaining weight,
Drink sips of water instead of eating when you feel uncomfortable.
Eat carrot or celery sticks or other healthy, low calorie foods.
Exercise. This will also help take your mind off smoking and make you healthier.
Keep busy. You will be less likely to eat when you're not really hungry if you are doing other things.
A lot of people put off quitting smoking, thinking that they'll do it when the time is right. Only 5% of teens think they will still be smoking in 5 years. Actually, about 75% of them are still smoking more than five years later. If you smoke, it will never seem like the right time to quit and quitting will never be easy. The longer you smoke, the harder it will be to stop and the more damage you will do to your body. Here are some reasons to quit sooner rather than later:
Most teens would rather date a non-smoker.
You'll save money if you quit smoking. A pack of cigarettes costs about rm8.00. Even if you only smoke a couple packs a week, you're spending about rm70 per month and rm900 per year on smoking. Think of all the other things you could use that money for.
You only have one pair of lungs. Any damage you do to them now will be with you for the rest of your life.
The longer you smoke, the better your chances are of dying from it. One out of 3 smokers die from smoking and many more become very sick. Think about your friends who smoke. 1/3 of them will die from smoking if none of you quit.
p/s:so..you guys..please...
think about your health,your family and your partner..
for me,orang yang smoke ni cam membunuh orang sekeliling and membakar duit..
not just that,dia membunuh diri sendiri...if dorang rase merokok ni cam makan candy or what ever la..why don't beli je candy?tak ada la merosakkan paru-paru..hmm
im sorry if ape yang wawa cakap ni a bit too harsh...i really love people around me..
i don't want them getting sick because of smoking..i can't accept people that i really love,smoking..
hm2..but it's up to you guys..if you thing smoking is good for you,go for it!!continue smoking.. ;)
byee...im sry again..
