Alright, this is going to sound really cheesy, I know… but every time ruben goes to the field, I have trouble sleeping. I found out that if I sleep on his side of the bed is not that bad… although last night was terrible. When you live on the other side of the world, with no family, no dog, no cool brother, etc. you get attached so bad to your partner, that when he’s not around it feels weird.

I miss you Ruben. I draw this for you, hope you like it. Love you.

I’ve had this pillow since a was a newborn. I can’t sleep without it. It is my oldest friend. This pillow knows all my secrets. I love this pillow.

The other night, I was sleeping and strong sneeze came out of my mouth. It was the saddest sneeze of my life because I found out I’m allergic to my pillow. Yes. I am allergic to my pillow and I didn’t know.

Dear Pillow,

“Goodbye is not forever
Or it doesn’t have to be.
Our paths will cross someday
But you’ll always be with me.
You are with me every day
when I think of you.
Nowhere else I have found
a friend so very true.”

I will miss you like you have no idea. Thanks to you, all my nights have been perfect. Nobody will hold me like you did all these years. As James Blunt would say: “goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend, you have been the one, you have been the one for me”

Every since my dear friend Fanta gave me a bag of white tea as a christmas present, I fell in love with white tea.

It is the best tea. (even better than green tea). Apparently ” it is the least processed form of tea, made of beautiful silver buds and select leaves which have been steamed and dried. Because of its minimal processing, white tea contains more nutrients than its black or green cousins, making it the mightiest of the teas, the ultimate Health Tea.” (http://www.whiteteaguide.com)

Benefits of white tea

White Tea Antioxidants

Antioxidants are nutrients that protect the body from damage by free radicals. Free radicals are nasty things that go around wreaking havoc on your body, damaging DNA and accelerating aging. Antioxidants scoop them up and neutralize them. White tea is loaded with these protective nutrients.

Cancer Prevention

White tea may have profound power against cancer-causing cells and against many different types of cancer, such as colon, prostate, and stomach cancers. Flavonoids, a class of antioxidants, inhibit the growth of cancer cells and prevent the development of new ones. In some cases, white tea has been found to work as well as prescription drugs, but without the side effects.

Lower Blood Pressure

Studies show that white tea can thin the blood and improve artery function. It helps lower high blood pressure and maintain a healthy one. By promoting strong and healthy blood vessels, white tea guards against the ravages of stroke.

Lower Cholesterol

Catechins, another group of antioxidants, have been found to reduce cholesterol, and white tea is teeming with them. Cholesterol is a special type of fat and is necessary for health. There is good cholesterol and bad cholesterol, and white tea increases the good while decreasing the bad. This helps prevent hardening of the arteries and blockage of blood flow.

Heart Protection

By thinning the blood, lowering blood pressure, and reducing cholesterol, white tea protects the heart and the entire circulatory system. Researchers have also discovered that people who drink 2 or more cups of tea a day are almost 50% less likely to die after suffering a heart attack. White tea is truly a remarkable heart tonic.

Stronger Bones

Studies have found that people who drank tea regularly had greater bone density and strength than non-drinkers. White tea may also have beneficial effects for sufferers of arthritis and osteoporosis.

Antibacterial & Antiviral

White tea is a natural killer of bacteria and viruses. The antioxidants so abundant in white tea tone the entire immune system, providing protection against a variety of invaders and a wide range of diseases. Its helps guard against the common cold and flu, and can ease the symptoms of HIV.

Healthy Teeth and Gums

White tea contains small amounts of fluoride and other nutrients which keeps the teeth strong and healthy. It also kills the bacteria which causes plaque, tooth decay, and bad breath.

Healthy Skin

Free radicals from staying out in the sun too long, stress, and a poor diet can damage the skin and cause it to prematurely age. By scavenging these free radicals, white tea protects the skin and helps to reverse some of the damage. Drinking white tea promotes healthy and radiant skin.

Ruben and I have been collecting free postcards for a long time. We have around 300 already and the goal is to have enough cards to cover an entire wall. If you ever see free postcards, get some for your friend Sina :)
