Can you do that? well you must be exceptional. Drinking alcoholic drinks without getting drunk is a skill sometimes, but sometimes its your tolerance to alcohol that makes you stay alert and thats makes you an alcoholic.

But you can cheat, do you know that? yes you can cheat. I know you are asking by now: HOW?! to know just keep on reading.

 So you are really interested. Ok I give up.

I was reading a Nuts-O label which contains cashew on it. Written on its label are these words:

 ”It’s a Downer”

 ”For every cocktail, there’s a hangover-a heavy head, low metabolism, general drowsiness. Well don’t worry, just munch a handful of cashew nuts along with a drink. Cashewnuts can effectively thwart the blues after ball. besides, it protects your liver cells from alcohol assault - no fear of cirrhosis even when the moonshine goes over board.”

” So carry on!”

 But what if theres no cashew? I thinkyour best substitute is “Peanuts”. That makes sense since in most bars they serve you with peanuts as side.

and now that you have the idea, time for execution, buy alcohol and don’t get drunk! Remember DUI is expensive than the alcohol plus the risks.

Found this article at Joomla.org Humur, Fun and Games section… This is funny but true. But could not defeat driving in Philippines.

First, you must learn to pronounce the city name. It is DAL-LUS or DAA-LUS depending on if you live inside or outside LBJ Freeway.

Forget the traffic rules you learned elsewhere.

Dallas has its own version of traffic rules…”Hold on and pray.”

There is no such thing as a dangerous high-speed chase in Dallas. We all drive like that.

The morning rush hour is from 6 to 10. The evening rush hour is from 3 to 7. Friday’s rush hour starts on Thursday morning.

If you actually stop at a yellow light, you will be rear-ended, cursed, and possibly shot.

When you are the first one on the starting line, count to five when the light turns green before going, to avoid crashing with all the drivers who think yellow followed by red means go very fast.

Construction is a way of life and a permanent form of entertainment.

If someone actually has their turn signal on, it is either a factory defect or an “outsider.”

Car horns are actually “Road Rage” indicators, and remember, it’s legal to be armed in Texas.

All old ladies with blue hair in Mercedes have the right of way. Period. And remember, it’s legal to be armed in Texas.

If asking directions in Irving or SE Dallas, you must have knowledge of Spanish. If in central Richarson or on Harry Hines, Mandarin Chinese will be your best bet. If you stop to ask directions on Gaston or Live Oak, you better be armed. (And remember, it’s legal to be armed in Texas.)

A trip across town (east to west) will take a minimun of four hours, although many north/south freeways have unposted minimum speeds of 75. The minumum acceptable speed on the Dallas North Toll Road is 85. Anything less is considered downright sissy.

The wrought iron on windows near Oak Cliff and Fair Park is not ornamental!!!!!

It is possible to be driving WEST in the NORTH-bound lane of EAST NORTHWEST Highway. Don’t let this confuse you.

The Dallas North Tollway is our daily version of NASCAR.

LBJ Freeway is called “The Death Trap” for two reasons: “death” and “trap”.

If it is 100 degrees, Thanksgiving must be next weekend. If it’s 10 degrees and sleeting/snowing, the Fort Worth Stock Show is going on.

If it’s rained 6 inches in the last hour, and it is springtime, the Byron Nelson Golf Classic is in the second round. If it is autumn, then the State Fair is in full swing.

Final Warning: Don’t Mess With Texas Drivers.

Left Ventricular Assist Devices are made by Thoratec and I think they need to improve these device. In a world where things are getting smaller and science is talking about Nano Technology. I think this LVAD needs remodeling. I saw on TV last month about a new device that is better than LVAD because its smaller and they are using it to pediatric patients Children’s Medical Center here in Dallas TX and I think thats a better one than LVAD.

I think the best business you can put up in the Philippines is lending money like Pawnshop, Lending Business, 5/6 (but thats too much), anything that pertains to money lending is the best business you can put in the Philippines right now but those kind of lending should include collateral so that when the loan defaults you have something in hand that is pgysical to sell inorder to retrieve your capital.

I know being the person who lends money to the people has a bad image but in reality this person has the value of helping this in need. As long as the interest rate is reasonable I think thats OK. So its ok to do this business because youre helping other people.
