i left what i needed to say here @1:35 PM

"Have a cup of cactus juice." That probably sounds awfully weird. However, who knows, maybe in the near future someone will start harvesting cactuses and sell cactus juice all over the world! (The price might probably drop by then..)

So, cactus juice. How does Nopalea juice sound? Well, surprisingly, Nopalea juice can help relieve pain and inflammation in your body! It is a natural anti-inflammatory and is one of the most nutrient rich cactus species known to science. Clinical studies show that the opuntia cactus is effective in fighting chronic inflammation.

It is said that Nopal cactus juice can be used to cure inflammation found in many areas of the body. Some of the areas include: muscles, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, arterial and bones.

The fruit of the Nopalea cactus contains high amounts of calcium, magnesium and vitamin C. This cactus fruit also contains the amino acid known as taurine, is rich in flavonoids and antioxidant proteins known as betalains.

Nopal cactus fruit is low in calories, as well as sodium. In addition, it does not contain any cholesterol or saturated fat.

Nopalea cactus fruit is also high in soluble fiber. The kind that is effective in reducing cholesterol in the blood. The American Heart Association has conducted research to measure nopal cactus fruit's ability to control cholesterol levels.

The nopalea cactus can provide you with the following health benefits:

Helps you to lose weight! It curbs your appetite and blocks your body's ability to absorb fat.

Lowers your blood pressure

Lowers your cholesterol levels!

Who am I?
I am Kimberley Lim.
kaye-eye-am-bee-ee-arr-ell-ee-wyy *space* ell-eye-am.

You may think I'm crazy,
but there's nothing wrong with me,
or my name.
FUN FACT about my name(Kimberley):
my name is the name of a state in Australia! (:

Everything is about simplicity.
It's just that simple.
It's just a matter of how you look at things.
That's when things can become from simple to complicated.

What I love is fairly simple.
Doing well in exams is what i love the most.
In this world,
doing well in academics might guarantee a good job.
that's why i strive to do well.
i may not be the best,
but at least I'm making full use of my abilities.
Other than that,
there's nothing I love more than
GOD, family and friends.
They're what makes my life oh-so-colourful.
travelling, photography, playing harp,
reading DARK romance novels, playing video games/computer games are
my passions.
it's what i'll do for now to relieve myself from the world of academics when i need it.
What I hate, is even simpler. What's the opposite of doing well for exams? Doing badly for exams! it's as simple as that.

what i want is what i love.
simple eh?

but there's nothing more that i want
than being able to
travel around the world
and bring back the memories
and wonders of the world
when i grow up.
that's all i ever want for my future.
