Boys/Guys/Men: What are the songs that make you cry?

For every girl, I'm sure there must be a song that makes you cry.

What about the guys? Are there any songs in this world that makes you cry? Girls, do you know any guys who have songs that make them cry?

I'm really interested to find out those particular songs. Wanna see if it makes me cry. ;)

I know one song that makes me cry. ALL THE TIME. Can't help myself. The moment I listen to it, even if I am in a crowded room, my eyes will start burning and I'll go...'Oh, darn'. Yup yup, that song is VERY powerful. Curious to find out? :P! Wait for my next post.

By the way, if you have a song that does make you cry...do share with me. I won't laugh at you. Regardless whether you're a guy or girl. Honestly. I'm merely curious. He he.

Well and good.

I am content. I am very, very content. Of what, you may ask? My life.

I am content with my life, my love, my friends, my everything.

There's nothing else I would wish for. Of course, maybe some other little minor stuff but...apart from that, I have the best of everything. To you, it may not be the best. To me, it is.

Nothing is perfect. Obviously, there are ups and downs in my life as well. But...everything happens for a reason right? I am very sure it does. Just like Newton's third law. For every action, there's a reaction.

But, all is good. All is well and good. Therefore, I am content.

I need to...

I am currently obsessed with the kitchen. It was funny at first, when I suddenly has this urge to get busy in the kitchen. But now...I don't think it's funny anymore. I want to cook, bake, make something! ARGH! And the thing is? I can't bake. I can cook..something, at least. Not bake. Besides, the oven? It's not even working. *sighs dramatically* What a pity, for such talent to go to waste. HAH!

I need to indulge myself in my own interests. I need to do something extravagant. I need to change my daily routing. I need to SHINE! lol.

I'm pretty sad at times. Aah...

Paranoia

I. Am. Paranoid! Oh dear, I really really am! (Ernest, it's all your fault!!!) Thanks to Biology, and to the book I am currently reading: The New Killer Diseases by Elinor Levy and Mark Fischetti. I tell you, it is really worth reading. Unless you refuse to become as paranoid as me, I suggest you stay FAR FAR FAR away from Biology (especially microbiology) and this book and ALL the books in the world that talk about diseases. Of course, not everybody turns paranoid like me. Still. Do you want an insight of the book? Well, I can't give you the synopsis, exactly, but I can tell you what is it talking about.


This is a sample of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis in a petri dish. You know, TB. I do not know how to summarize TB to all of you because, it is extremely long. What I can tell you is, that it spreads exceedingly fast. And just by inhaling, you can easily get infected with the bacteria. And of course, if left untreated you can DIE.


This is the virus that causes SARS. I'm sure all of you know what SARS is right??? The one that kills swiftly and rapidly, and in a blink of an eye, you're gone...Yes, that one. SARS is a novel corona virus. Sounds good, looks good, but it's not.


Now, this is a flesh-eating bacteria. Also known as group A streptococcus (GAS), it is usually found in our throats and skin. This is, apparently, the very same bacteria that causes throat infection. So, one wrong step and the bacteria turns deadly. Toxic Shock Syndrome. IT ACTUALLY EATS YOUR FLESH. That's after it's done with your internal organs. Even your heart and kidney turns into a jelly-like thingy that no longer function. Want to know what happens to patients who suffer from this flesh-eating bacteria?


It scares the brains out of me. To know that the very same bacteria that we are easily infected with everyday can do such harm to us. This flesh-eating bacteria killed Jim Henson! The creator of The Muppets!

*AHH!!!!*

Dear all, I do not intend to scare all of you with this post. This is just to let all of you know what happens when a Biology student turns paranoid. And also create some sort of awareness. Most of you may hear of such diseases but never really bother to check them out. Like what I used to be. Uncaring of these new but old stuff. Bacteria and viruses are deadly. Dangerous. They mutate and develop faster and more advanced than we humans do. All these diseases are no joke. They KILL. You will DIE a HORRIBLE DEATH. Not a swift and painless death. It's fast, very fast, but agonizing and terrible.


...okay, I'm starting to scare all of you, am I not?


...I should stop. But I'm not done. Wait till I finish that book...
