This journal of mine is to basically prove myself wrong, where I gave a 5 mins lecture to a friend regarding the damages caused by Chewing gums without any research, so as just to check up my blind research I did some real research on this one and to my surprise I was WRONG. So I thought to share it with U guys what I actually found and yeah I want to clear this to my friend that “Excess of Everything is BAD…”
For me it was a misconception that chewing too much gum was bad for health and yeah indeed it is when it comes towards the case of sweetened gums, as it causes cavities and certain gum diseases, but yet Scientists are finding evidence that gum chewing may be good for our health. It may even help boost test scores. Meantime, I even read that these days companies are also experimenting with adding vitamins, minerals, medicines, and other substances that could give gum the power to cure headaches and fight everything from serious diseases to bad breath.
Chewing gums have an ancient origin, dating back from the Ancient Greeks, Mayas, and Native Americans, in those days they for example; chewed on the sap, or resin, of certain types of trees. But today, gum is a little more complicated, Gum manufacturers start by mixing resin, wax, and a molecule called polyvinyl acetate to make a gum base. By varying the types and amounts of these ingredients, scientists can make thousands of formulations. An important ingredient that I myself have found in many chewing gum is xylitol, which provides an extra dose of cavity-fighting power. This is good for more than just the teeth. Research suggests that good oral health decreases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other serious diseases
Gum Facts:
Americans chew about 1.8 pounds of gum per person each year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
The “chewing gum ban” in Singapore was enacted in 1992 and revised in 2004. It bans the import and sale of chewing gum in Singapore. A proposal for the ban was brought up by the Minister for National Development. Chewing gum was causing serious maintenance problems in high-rise public housing flats, with vandals disposing of spent gum in mailboxes, inside keyholes and even on elevator buttons. Chewing gum left on floors, stairways and pavements in public areas increased the cost of cleaning and damaged cleaning equipment. Gum stuck on the seats of public buses was also considered a problem.
There are even gums available those act as if caffeine is directly poured into the bloodstream and these gums are used by some Militaries to be given to the officers who are on night shifts, and this increases there functionality upto 72 hours uninterrupted.
Chewer Beware:
For now, chew with caution. Too much chewing can damage the jaw joint. And chewing too much of a gum that contains vitamins, caffeine, or a medicine could lead to an overdose

well recently had a funny + wierd visual personality test at facebook lols :P sounds wierd na well it was one of those annoying application requests for whom you constantly think about how to get rid of em, and as a result to do so you eventually accept them like me :S lols but this was fun, going through all the pictures, thinking which ones u would really select ;)
here is the result that i got after the test:
Temperament
Flexible
Nothing seems to bother you - you sail through life crisis free. It's not that your life doesn't have its ups and downs, it's just that you handle everything without unnecessary drama and antics. You approach each day fresh, not worrying about yesterday or tomorrow. You are confident that you can handle anything that comes your way and experience has shown that you are absolutely right about this
Interests
Simple
You are continually pursuing a simpler and less complicated life - you don't allow yourself to fall victim to all of the "should do's" that society continually bombards you with. You are thoughtful about your life choices and think in terms of yourself, others and the world in which we live. You have a great sense that we are part of something much bigger and we must be good to others, if we want others and the world to be good to us.
Amusement
Adventurous
It's a good thing that you are filled with energy and ambitions (that others sometimes find exhausting) because you're continually looking for a new adventure and exciting experience. You struggle with a continual feeling of restlessness which constantly pushes you to the next level of excitement. Once you have accomplished one thing, you are eager to accomplish something more exciting, riskier and distinguishable.
Passion
Emotional
For you passion is less about romance and sex - it's more about friendship and family. Strong emotional bonds and connections are your passion and your pleasure. You always let your loved ones know how much you love, respect and admire them. You do this through kind words, loving actions and simple gestures. You count your blessings each day and express your love openly. You expect the same from others.
PS: the test dudes are some good observers ;) i had a satisfactory result :D
Well a new guest has arrived at our place…and it sounds exciting to watch it all the time lurking here and there lols :P Yesterday our neighbours were leaving for vacations and they just came by to gave our mom the keys so that she could just check there plants and all.. in addition to that they passed on some Fish Food to us and we were like “U want us to feed the plants Fish Food eeekkkkhhh” lolls at this they couldn’t stop their laughter as that food wasn’t meant to be for the plants, they even had a Pet Fish and that food was meant for that Fishy. Our job was to simply feed the fishy once in 3 days as it was alone and can survive on low food, so we were excited about a pet fish and out of excitement we asked her if we could keep that fish in our home till they come back, as it was a tiny fish and there wasn’t any case of a big aquarium for it. Its home was a tiny bowl (awwww poor thing) ;)
So as it arrived the next 30 mins I simply kept on observing it (that was all out of curiosity) as m a biiiiiiiig seafood hater and cant even bear the site of fish residing on my plate. Anyways it didn’t have any special activities other than going round and round and round within the bowl, after half an hour it started giving me headache :S. Well as I was the one asking our neighbours if we could keep it for that time being so that made me the sole owner of the Fish and that gave me the unique occasion of naming my guest Fish :P, so I thought and thought about certain pet names but all that I knew suited more on cats and dogs than on Fishes :S so than I started thinking about any fish movies that I had recently seen and only one name came into my mind “Nemo” (obviously it would have come as I had watched that movie 5 times I guess and still couldn’t stop loving it even more and more). So if I had named it Nemo than that made me “Marlin” ofcourse that gives me the degree of being its guardian :P.
All that I can hope now is to stay away of it as much as I can, because I really don’t want to be attached with that lil thing as eventually it has to leave and ill most probably will stay back with tiny tears in my eyes :’( *sniff* *sniff*

The story begins here:
Father: Ooh! Look son, so many stars are shinning bright in the sky today. Can you count them for me?
Son: Aaa! Ok ill try, 1, 2, 3, 4… I can’t daddy; I tried but I even forgot which one I counted first.
Father: (Laugh) that’s just because there are too many stars in the sky my son.
Son: But daddy why are these stars so small I cant even clearly see some of them.
Father: That’s just because they are very far away from us my dear. And you know what some of them are even bigger than our own shinning sun.
Son: Really daddy.
Father: Yeah Son.
Father: Ooh! Look there Son, did u see that shooting star?
Son: Yeah Yeah daddy I did see that star.
Father: So go on and make a wish.
Son: But what should I wish for daddy, I really don’t know.
Father: Sweetheart do u really want to know what does this shooting stars means.
Son: Yeah daddy I do.
Father: You know what my son, our earth is covered by not just one but by seven skies, and our Artist, the one and Only that created us lives High up there, along with the ones who are dear to him, he talks with them and they up there share secrets among themselves, those secrets that we people down on Earth shouldn’t know.
Son: really daddy.
Father: Yes my dear.
Father: And do you know who Satan is?
Son: Yes daddy I know, he is bad, he tells people to do bad things, he makes them tell lies, and do all the bad things that make us bad people.
strong>Father: Yes my dear you are right. And you also know that he is one of Allah’s unforgiven creatures. And who is always there to make us, Allah’s loved ones ready to do things that He dislikes, and you should also know that he is more powerful than us my child and he can travel through the skies just to know what is going on above.
Son: Ooh!
Father: And this work of Satan can’t be done just by himself he even has friends to help him in his work. He reaches the seventh sky just to know what has been told up there, so that he can then transfer the secrets through his friends who then tell these to the bad people who live among us and spread evil on Earth.
Son: But daddy, what is it to do with the shooting star?
Father: Yes my son it is related to that, because in the Satan’s quest to learn what has to be kept away from us beings, the One’s above get to know of his journey and to stop him from passing on of what he has learned the One’s above use the stars to strike the evil ones and to burn them. Means the star isn’t really falling on its own its being used above as a weapon to finish the evil, not to let them pass on what is not being meant for us.
Son: Really dad.
Father: Yes my Son and now do u know what you have to wish for.
Son: Yes daddy, I know.
Father: Would you like to share it with me.
Son: Daddy, I will wish and pray that Allah makes me one of those shooting stars and not those of the Shinning
ones.
Father: And why is that my dear?
Son: Because I don’t want to be like those shinning stars that remain shinning over there, their whole life. I want to be the ones who are used to stop the evil, who are used for a good cause, who are strong enough to fight against evil.
Father: Yes you will my son inshallah you will be like those warrior stars, and that’s the reason why I named u Abdul Muiz (Servant of the giver of Might and Glory) .

Quranic Ayats:
- We had decorated the lower heaven (sky) with the decoration of the stars and to protect the heaven from every rebellious satan (devil) who should not eaves-drop (secretly listen) to the highest assembly (of angels in the heaven) and they (devils) are shot (with meteors) from every side to cast them away and there is a permanent punishment for them. Only who caught a snatch (of the conversation) a sharp meteorite will follow him.
- And we have, (from of old), adorned the lowest heaven with Lamps, and We have made such (Lamps) (as) missiles to drive away the Evil Ones, and have prepared for them the Penalty of the Blazing Fire.
Hadees:
The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) also said: "They (the Jinn) would pass the information back down until it reaches the lips of a magician or forrtune-teller Sometimes a meteor would overtake them before they could pass it on. If they passed it on before being struck, they would add to it a hundred lies"
PS: from childhood till now i have too witnessed the shooting stars 8 times :)
