benefits of kissing

was watching 我猜 online, the featured theme for 人不可貌相 was 啵me美眉 (aka "kiss-me" pretty girl). the gals are ok, with certain exceptions (typical and rather expected of how taiwanese perceive and set standards for pretty girls...) but just before the gals are shown the narrator starts off with the (unexpected) benefits of kissing:

1) when a couple exchanges saliva (esp during french kisses) during a passionate kiss the germs in the mixed saliva would reportedly cause a reaction and activate antibodies, which help fight off the germs. with repeated kissing (and saliva mixing) the antibodies will grow stronger and then they will help you fight off future illnesses as well!

ok, mixing saliva may sound disgusting but for those who hv tried, its quite shiok... tongue wars... woo hoo! apparently the antibodies part shld help explain why i've not been very healthy lately... *coughs* and its not (just) the hectic workload from PA...

2) when one prepares for a kiss, the relevant facial muscles / skin tissues will tense up, and blood circulation will become faster. so, this helps to promote skin rejuvenation and give a facial uplift... kinda acts as a deterrent to wrinkles...

ok wrinkles-wise, doesnt really matter to guys cos its a sign of maturity and sexiness (hahaha)... talk abt natural firming and some more, free as well... plus the added benefit of basking in pure sweet love! gals can save some money on firming creams etc by just engaging in kissing... and spend more on clothes... shopping... etc etc...

3) kissing also helps in relieving muscle spasms around the face / throat area. so, apparently, this works well for curing hiccups (apart from the traditional drinking water, suck sugar cube and sudden scare techniques used to treat hiccups) and minor spasms (minor ones only, not some freaking whole body spasm).

hmmm... i dun really suffer from hiccups or spasms... well cant hurt to have kisses right?

all in all, perhaps all tis are "just for fun" bits of info to keep audiences at their seats and sticking to that channel. but, who cares whether they're real or not? i wld like to think the first benefit is real (since it applies the most to me, haha!) but so far, i havent really tried enough times to see whether the antibodies thingy do get stronger. but its quite true tat i havent been to the doctor's for awhile (except to keng MC) and that, though i suffer from minor coughs and fevers now and then, they dun warrant enuff severity for me to go to the doc's.

i rem once i was feeling cold and hot at the same time. fever for sure... 38.4 deg!! wat did i do? ok... i went to bed early but couldnt slp as my head was hurting all the time and i kept dreaming. so, for every hour tat nite, i woke up to tk my temp and drink 枇杷膏... the sweet, honeyish goo tat is so familiar to all... then nxt day woke up at 36+ deg and went sch for 1 presentation and quiz. not bad hor!

yeah... watever it is... year 3 le... shld get a gf for some antibody strengthening... lol hahaha.
