Tea contains antioxidants. Antioxidants can help slow down the aging process, and help cells regenerate and repair. Many studies suggest antioxidants also assist our bodies in preventing cancer.
Tea can lower stress hormone levels. Black tea can reduce the effects of stressful events by…
The Rocking Horse Winner by D. H. Lawrence.
You should read this short story because even if I didn’t read it off a book called, “Best Short Stories of the Modern Age,” I would still think that it’s a pretty good short story.
Tonight I found out that oolong tea has caffeine after I had already ingested two cups of it. I had meant to drink tea so that I can get rid of my colds and chill out my nerves and maybe get to bed earlier. Damn.
Caffeine aside, it was pretty good though. Definitely better than peppermint because at least oolong doesn’t taste like water.
Still, nothing beats chamomile. It is the only tea...

To be honest, I can’t help but be excited at the persecution the Catholic Church has been getting lately. It’s as if the culture went from giving us the silent treatment to screaming at us. And I’m very proud of the united efforts of our US Bishops (and…
The blood of martyrs is the seed of Christians.
And yes, my life is more”glamorous” now than ever before—unbelievably so, sometimes, professionally and socially—and yet still I’m always looking for the exit sign. Whether it’s from a fashion tent or the best new club, I’m always slipping out. I go outside and smoke cigarettes and walk home without saying goodbye to anyone. And then I go do drugs alone at my apartment.

Oh my morning’s coming back The whole world’s waking up The city bus is swimming past I’m happy just because I found out I am really No one.
It’s weird when you’ve been listening to a song for the longest time and it’s only recently that you fully understand what they mean! I love Bright Eyes because I always get new perspectives and interpretations hidden in...
I’m so organized it’s unreal.
Probably gonna go to UP I guess.
Komen, Catholics, and the cost of conscience →
badwolfcomplex:
I was rather impressed with this article from the Washington Post.
Two of the top news stories this week have revolved around reproductive rights, though both raise far more troubling issues than a woman’s right to contraception or abortion.
The more compelling questions concern a person’s or an institution’s freedom of conscience and the right to act upon one’s moral beliefs...
Panicked Catholics Flee Violence in Nigeria →
becket:
Say a prayer for Nigeria. It is home for one of the largest populations and fastest growing area of Catholics in the world, and yet is still in need of much peace.
Plans for College
When I graduate out of high school and get into college, I am skipping out on all the carpe diem-ing. I’m not going to join orgs and clubs and whatever. I’m not aiming for an ambitious social life, I’m not going to lead anything, and I have absolutely no plans on filling up my stupid planner with the same volume of things to do as I have now. Please for once, let me skip all the...

My fellow American Catholics: You’ve heard about the new contraception mandate, right? How the government is forcing Catholic organizations to buy products that violate the Church, their consciences, and the True Faith? This is unconstitutional, but if we don’t

Anonymous asked: they are KIDS. how can you "protect" the unborn when you are so exacting with children?
THIS IS WHY I'M UPSET
YESTERDAY I was working in the library, and I was using my USB. That USB was awesome, mostly because it was for free and it was shaped like a little robot.
Then, out of pure stupidity, I mindlessly left the USB in the library and carried on with my day.
I realized my mistake later, and when I came back, IT WAS GONE. I asked but then I was told that SOME KIDS WERE PLAYING WITH IT AND TOOK IT...

It’s amusing how people who are always so quick to point out the separation of church and state are ignoring it now that Obama wants to force Catholics to provide contraceptives.
Mommy Life: Planned Parenthood wants your thoughts →
Planned Parenthood is asking for your thoughts on Roe vs. Wade, in celebration of its 39th anniversary.
Here’s what I said: Because of Roe, millions of children have been murdered so that women are able to live as they pleased.
I almost directly quoted Mother Teresa because she’s awesome and because I couldn’t have said it better myself.
Sometimes, life gives you the ability...
Things I don’t care much about:

I really need to start updating the Romanovs blog. I haven’t uploaded a single photo in the longest time. This is probably an ongoing record, and I feel horrible because of it. Yes, I admit that I am losing interest in it, mostly because nowadays I can’t find the time for the Romanovs. Poor NAOTMAA. More reasons to miss 2008.
Anyway. As I was saying. It’s nearly 1:30 AM. I...

Anticlimax (n.)- After months of waiting and hoping and praying to pass the exam to the only college you truly want to get into, you get home, turn to the website, scroll down, and find your name in the list. Meaning, you have passed. You have passed! You have done it. You are good enough. However, your eyes glide to the right. You have no campus. You have no course. Instead, there are the words,...

I don’t even know anymore. There’s been more Catholic stuff on my dash today than there ever has been, and I love it.

Something infinitely interesting: What Ateneans Do... →
the-beautiful-fight:
I was having dinner with my boss and her husband (all three of us Ateneans) when we talked about the difference with how Gloria and Noynoy sees life. Gloria being the realistic one and Noynoy being the usual, ideal Atenean. Then her husband started narrating about how only few Ateneans become…

I first started following the “prolife” tag here on Tumblr a few months ago, but in all honesty I had barely looked at it since, because it was rather disappointing. It had nothing to do with prolife at all; rather, the posts that showed up were almost always pro-choice, or arguments for pro-choice, or downright insults of the pro-life movement. If there ever was anything prolife in...
