晴天和尚

It has been raining day in day out. Oh! Where is the sun? Oh how I miss you. I want to "bake" myself. Don't a sun kissed bod look great? Ok ok... Not the burnt look. But the golden brown kind. Doesn't it radiate a healthy glow? It makes a good-looking person even more appealing so much more attractive. Mmm... I may be going a be over here but for "slim" people like me to have a light brown skin is way way better than have pale white skin. Cause it turn it will make me look sickly. I may not be a tanaholic (yet.) But at times it really gives me the relax feeling. It seems that I am not alone.

With studies, dermatologists have found out that, tanning makes the skin give off endorphins. Which are chemicals released from the brain, that produce euphoric like feeling in the body. Endorphins are often referred to as our bodies natural morphine, reducing the pain we usually feel. These compounds make a person feel good on a "high" feeling. They are the also the reason endurance runners report of a "runner's high." So could there really be such a thing as tanner's high?

So when issit that tanning can become and addiction? It seems that if you tan about 8 to 15 times a month and do it between 10am till 4pm then you may be hooked on tanning! Or as the people out there call it, Tanorexia. Thank god! During those times I am usually working so not time to tan. Even if I am free I usually find that it is too hot during those times. And I usually only "purposely" go and tan about once a month. So I am long way off from being an addict. Yes, UV rays may give you vitamin D. But there is a limit to everything. Studies have shown that about 10 mins of sunlight per day could reduce the chances of get cardiology illness. Of course I know it can lead to the big "C". Well maybe I should start using spray on tans and bronzing cosmetics.

On a lighter note, was driving today nearly had an accident with a SHOPPING CART. Yes, a cart. It was pushed by this aunt, who rammed it so fast in a near head on collision with the car. There I was just stopping there by the zebra crossing waiting for people to cross. And there she came off the crossing onto the road and was trying to to push her cart between the car and the wall. The space is really not enough for both car and cart. In the end I had to reverse to let her have her way. (In case I have to answer for any scratches on the car.)

On the last note I am in love with Moonlight Resonance.
