Anemia is a blood disorder which I have. Anemia is the production of less RBCs (red blood cells). It could be due to lack of iron in the body. This is bad because the blood transports nutrients and oxygen. And a low red blood cell count leads to less oxygen being delivered to every tissue in the body.The symptoms: fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, lightheadedness(which I get often), and palpitation (irregular beating of the heart).
There are things that help with this disease. For example: Iron pills, dietary changes,(eat things that consists of a lot of irons, vitamin C and vitamin B12-which helps with the production of red blood cells.)
The things that help me when it comes to iron are:
peas-which have a lot of iron.
vegetables (callaloo, spinach, brocccoli,etc.)
eggs
peanuts-even though I'm allergic to it.
raisins
Soy milk
Things that help me with vitamin B12 are:
Cereals - cornflakes
meat-fish, seashells - not too much though, because they contain mercury.
dairy products- cheese and yogurts.
Things that help me with vitamin C are:
Oranges
Kiwi
Mangoes
strawberries
watermelon.

R.I.P. Professor Carl Daley.
I was in lab last week and I found out that my Sociology teacher from the Fall semester passed away from a stroke over spring break. I was speechless. That guy was such a good teacher, even though he blamed technology a lot. For example: He would be the last to enter the classroom, and see us (his students), on the phone or any electronic devise. He would then say, "It's really sad to see people on their gadgets, while they could be talking to someone. Technology isolate you from what is going on at the moment."
And also, I wouldn't forget the time he went off on Itunes. He blamed them for making people lazy when it comes to buying music. He said in this time of year people buy music through download etc. He then said he prefer the long journey going to the music store, seeing what albums he like, flirting with the cashier, and having the record in his hand going home. He was a funny guy, and I enjoyed having him as a teacher.

Disney World's Monorail crashes.
Walt Disney World monorail crash kills employee.
ORLANDO, Fla. – Two monorail trains crashed early Sunday morning in the Magic Kingdom section of Walt Disney World, killing one train's operator, emergency officials said.
The transit system, which shuttles thousands of visitors around the sprawling resort each day, was shut down while authorities investigated the holiday weekend wreck.
The monorail operator died at the scene of the crash, which happened around 2 a.m., said Bo Jones, deputy chief for Reedy Creek Fire Department. The other train operator was not injured, but was taken to a hospital because he was emotionally shaken. Five park guests were treated at the scene.
Disney Vice President of Communications Michael Griffin identified the driver as 21-year-old Austin Wuennenberg. Griffin would not discuss how long Wuennenberg had been with Disney or the circumstances surrounding the crash.
"They are extremely rare," Griffin said of accidents at the park. "The safety of our guests and cast are a top priority above all else."
It is unclear what caused the crash, Jones said. Orange County Sheriff's officials are investigating the cause.
Jones said the crash happened at the park's ticket and transportation center. About a dozen guards wearing blue Disney security uniforms guarded the monorail station Sunday morning and prevented visitors from approaching the area.
Griffin would not comment on a video posted on the Web site of Orlando TV station WKMG. The clip, apparently shot by a guest at the theme park, shows several people trying to get the driver's attention as they examine the wreckage.
"This is such a close-knit community, " Griffin said. "Our hearts go out to Austin's family. It's a sad day here."
Ethan Meus, who was visiting the theme park from Dubuque, Iowa, said he and his family took the monorail to dinner at a resort hotel Saturday night. Meus, 17, watched the Magic Kingdom fireworks from the monorail on the way back to his hotel, he said, and didn't notice any problems with the train.
"It's pretty shocking to hear that a driver was killed in that accident," Meus said.
The family was planning to take the train again Sunday to visit Disney's Epcot Center, but now planned to take a bus, Meus added.
"You would think it would be so safe," said 20-year-old Lauren Shoebottom, who was visiting the park from London. "You don't expect it on holiday, do you?"
Walt Disney World vice president of public affairs Mike Griffin issued a statement offering condolences to the employee's family and saying the monorail was closed.
"It's a bit shocking," said 22-year-old Danielle Williams, of London. "Disney seems so perfect."

Best I Ever Had - Drake.
So I watched Drake's video for Best I Ever Had. Kanye West made his directorial debut (I think), and the video sucked, bombed , need to be banned from t.v...... The song was so popular, but the video; OMG, one of the worst I've seen thus far.
Anywho, my God sister came here yesterday from Yard (Jamaica.) She bought a pair of those 'natural' slippers. I like it, but damn, I can't feel between my toes. It's a push toe slippers. Thanks Gaylia, not complaining. I could take a picture, but I don't have a camera. That is the 2ND thing on my list to get. A good DSL camera. I'm sick and tired of the miniature digital cameras. She wants to go out and about, but she needs to find someone to take her around, because I still have class. A month left. 6 more tests to go.

I remembered reading a book called The Street Car Named Desire as a Junior in High school. When we were finished reading the book, our teacher (Mr.Angstadt), brought the movie for us to watch it. It was really good. He had a long and healthy life. He died at the age of 97.
