Persuasion - Jane Austen

"I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone forever."
Captain Wentworth's letter to Anne, in the Musgrove's room at the White Hart in Bath
Persuasion, volume 2, chapter 11

Ciarán Hinds as Capt. Wentworth in Persuasion 1995

It is funny how most of Jane Austen's male character likes to explain themselves via letter. I find it somehow romantic in a certain way.

Living in fairytale world?

My friend : I live in a fairytale

Me : Aren't we all? Until we are woken up by a rude awakening that will snap us back into reality

My friend : Don't you dare wake me up

Me : ahahhahahah...How can I when I myself is drowning in it too!!!

Memories - Wilson Rawls

"It's strange indeed how memories can lie dormant in a man's mind for so many years. Yet those memories can be awakened and brought forth fresh and new, just by something you've seen, or something you've heard, or the sight of an old familiar face." - Wilson Rawls, Where the Red Fern Grows, Ch. 1

Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte

"Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity or registering wrongs." - Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre

Quotation by Betty Smith

Jane Austen Quotation

Run mad as often as you choose but do not faint"- Jane Austen

Quotation by Datuk Dr Maznah

Datuk Dr Maznah said, "Being a mother & wife, we must have at least 2 hours a day for ourselves for our own health and beauty. Don`t discard the dreams inside us away because at the end of the day, we shall regret."

Virginia Woolf's Quotation

I can only note that the past is beautiful because one never realises an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don't have complete emotions about the present, only about the past.

Quotation - Virginia Woolf

Each has his past shut in him like the leaves of a book known to him by his heart, and his friends can only read the title.

How Exercise Helps Quickly Lower Blood Pressure

An article was published in the Journal Circulation in 2000. Researchers wanted to know the effects of habitual exercise on arterial distensibility. Researchers concluded that regular aerobic-endurance exercise reduced age-related arterial stiffness.

Sedentary healthy middle-aged and older men were able to restore arterial distensibility by regularly working out. The researchers concluded that this may be one mechanism by which habitual exercise lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Researchers reviewed the effects of exercising on the distensibility of large arteries. The review was published in the Exercise and Sports Sciences Reviews in 2003. The author reviewed the findings of a number of studies. According to the author, recent findings show that regular aerobic exercise can modulate age-related increase in arterial stiffness.

Another study was published in the American Journal of Hypertension in 2006. The study was conducted on post-menopausal women. The researchers concluded that both moderate and vigorous physical activities have favorable effects on central arterial stiffness in postmenopausal women.

Physical Activity is the Answer
One can very quickly lower blood pressure with commitment to working out. Commit yourself to work out for 3 months. You will be amazed at the results. Research has shown that working out can effectively make your arteries more distensible. Distensible arteries can very quickly lower blood pressure.
