Lelaki lebih pentingkan bentuk tubuh pasangan

New York; lelaki lebih prihatin dengan bentuk tubuh pasangan mereka berbanding wanita tetapi kelihatannya mereka juga lebih menghargai keluarga, menurut kaji selidik terbaru yang dikeluarkan. Hampir seluruh lelaki yang ditanya dalam pungutan pendapat daripada 700,000 orang berkata, mereka akan meninggalkan pasangan yang bertambah berat badan berbanding wanita yang hanya 20 peratus akan berbuat demikian.

2/3 lelaki juga mengatakan mereka mengimpikan pasangan rakan mereka, manakla 1/3 wanita berpendapat begitu. walaupun lelaki lebih selesa bertemu teman wanita dalam talian (online) dan kurang peduli mengenai siapa yang menjadi temannya itu, kelakuan romantik lain terbukti tidak lapuk dimakan zaman; keperkasaan tidak terhapus, saiz memang diambil berat, dan wanita memaafkan,manakala lelaki selalu lupa,.. kata Ketua Editor AskMen, James Bassil yang melakukan pungutan pendapat itu bersama Cosmopolitan.com.

Many fat women think they are slim

An American study questioned over 2,000 women about their size, diet and exercise habits and took measurements. It found that many women were often unaware about whether they were a healthy weight or not.

Co-author Dr Mahbubur Rahman, of University of Texas, said: "As obesity numbers climb, many women identify overweight as normal, not based on the scale but on how they view themselves."It was found that 25 per cent of overweight women misjudged their body weight along with 16 per cent of normal weight women. The research was published in the journal Obstetrics and Gynaecology.

The findings have serious consequences for obesity prevention, the researchers said, as many women do not recognise they are overweight and so will not join programmes. The study found that Hispanic and African American women who were overweight thought they were healthy compared with 15 per cent of white women.

The trend was reversed for normal weight women who thought they were overweight with fewer Hispanics and African Americans falling into this category than white women. Healthy weight women who thought they were too fat were twice as likely to skip meals, diet and smoke more cigarettes than the overweight women who thought they were slim.

Lead author Prof Abbey Berenson, said: "Weight misperception is a threat to the success of obesity prevention programs. "Overweight individuals who do not recognise that they are overweight are far less likely to eat healthfully and exercise. "These patients are at risk for cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and other serious problems.

"This is especially important for reproductive-age women because they are more likely to be obese than similarly aged men, often because they've had at least one child and have not lost pregnancy weight and find that their schedules make it difficult to exercise and eat healthfully."

Hero

There's a hero

If you look inside your heart

You don't have to be afraid

Of what you are

There's an answer

If you reach into your soul

And the sorrow that you know Will melt away

And then a hero comes along

With the strength to carry on

And you cast your fears aside

And you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone

Look inside you and be strong

And you'll finally see the truth

That a hero lies in you

It's a long road

When you face the world alone

No one reaches out a hand For you to hold

You can find love

If you search within yourself

And the emptiness you felt

Will disappear

And then a hero comes along

With the strength to carry on

And you cast your fears aside

And you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone

Look inside you and be strong

And you'll finally see the truth

That a hero lies in you

Lord knows

Dreams are hard to follow

But don't let anyone

Tear them away

Hold on

There will be tomorrow

In time You'll find the way

And then a hero comes along

With the strength to carry on

And you cast your fears aside

And you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone

Look inside you and be strong

And you'll finally see the truth

hat a hero lies in you

Summer Of 69

I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played 'til my fingers bled
It was summer of '69

Me and some guys from school
Had a Band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I shualda known we'd never get far

Oh when I lock back now
That was seemes to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life

(CHORUS)

Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin's down at the drive in
And that's when I met you

Standin on a mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was no or never
Those were the best days of my life

(Chorus) Back in Summer of '69

Man we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever, no

And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Somethimes when I play that old six-string
I think about ya wonder what went wrong

Standin' on a mama's porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

Ku Bahagia

di atas bumi ini ku berpijak
pada jiwa yang tenang di hariku
tak pernah ada duka yang terlintas
ku bahagia

ingin ku lukis semua hidup ini
dengan cinta dan cita yang terindah
masa muda yang tak pernah kan mendung
ku bahagia

dalam hidup ini
arungi semua cerita indahku
saat-saat remaja yang terindah
tak bisa terulang

ku ingin nikmati
segala jalan yang ada dihadapku
kan kutanamkan cinta tuk kasihku
agar ku bahagia

Saat Ku Idamkan

Temu kau di malam itu
Bagai menyahut hasrat nurani ku
Hanya dengan sebuah senyuman
Bisa terpatri satu harapan

Mengidamkan saat itu
Yang pasti hanya Tuhan yang tahu
Terpancur kalimah kalimah sakti
Berakhir dengan janji janji

Dikau menjadi kekasih
Namun aku merasa tersisih
Kau membina dinding ilusi
Ku terperangkap merintih sepi

Mungkin kita mesti terbuka
Dalam mengharungi dunia cinta
Mungkin kita harus bersedia
Menghadapi apa saja

Jangan jangan kau padamkan api asmara ini
Bayang silam kau pergilah
Pergilah dari sisi ku

Tiada lain yg ku tunggu
Untuk menduduki istana hatiku
Kaulah teman kaulah kekasih
Jangan membuatku tersisih

Bayang silam kau pergilah
Pergilah dari sisi

awan nano

Lihat ke arah sana
Serakan warna dan berarakan
Awan
Pabila terik panas
Segera hadirnya memayungi diri

Pabila kau dahaga
Sesegera turun hujan melimpahkan kasihnya
Pabila kau katakan
Akulah awan itu yang kau mahu

Begitulah awan nano
Setia melindungi diri
Tika panas mencuba menggores pipi
Dan bibirmu

Begitulah awan nano
Sering saja tak terduga hadir
Dan tak akan tercapai jejarimu

Kasihnya
Kasih tiada banding
Setia tiada tara
Bagaimanapun jua

Awan kekasih sebenarmu sayang
Walaupun tak akan tercapai jejarimu

Lihat diriku ini
Yang sesekali pernah kau bagaikan awan
Sehingga tak mungkin terlupa
Berikan belas sedari dulu

Sehingga tak mungkin termampu saksi
Setitis pun air matamu kasihku
Sehingga kau katakan
Akulah awan itu yang kau rindu

Akulah awanmu yang sedia
Melindungi dirimu tika panas mencuba menggores pipi
Dan bibirmu

Akulah awanmu yang sering kau rindu
Dan tak terduga hadirmu walau tak tercapai jejarimu

Kasihku
Kasih tiada banding setia tiada tara
Bagaimanapun jua
Aku pelindung dirimu sayang
Walaupun tak akan tercapai jejarimu

Begitulah awan nano
Setia melindungi diri tika panas mencuba menggores pipi
Dan bibirmu

Begitulah awan nano
Sering saja tak terduga hadir
Dan tak akan tercapai jejarimu

Kasihku
Kasih tiada banding setia tiada tara

Bagaimanapun jua
Aku pelindung dirimu sayang
Walaupun tak akan tercapai jejarimu
