i am not giving up on my love!

No! i can't survive without you. i can't live without you! Okay, this sounds dumb enough to be the opening of my post. LOL. But, well, it's true! I bumped into such headlines a few mornings ago...

Chocolates are predicted to be a rare delicacy in 20 years just like caviars.
Oh.My.God.

It was stated that chocolate consumptions are increasing faster than its production!='(  So, it's gonna be expensive, just like caviar. Besides, some of the cocoa farmers are on a strike too! Can't blame them at all. When the chocolate companies like bla bla bla and bla bla bla are getting richer day by day, these farmers are trying their best to survive day by day. They're being exploit! Just like what happen in Blood Diamond, except it's chocolates here. Heh. But i really can't imagine what will happen if the price of chocolates are equivalent to caviars in the future. Chocolates in our lives will be like phoof~ GONE! Well, not really gone, just that it will become so rare that average Joe won't be able to afford it.(Average Mich like me too!LOL)

Do you know where chocolates came from? They're from cacao trees!

 70% of the world's cacao are from Africa. Why important stuff like chocolates and diamonds come mostly from Africa? Phew, at least, boyfriends don't mainly come from Africa..kidding!!

10 awesome reasons you should love chocolate...

  6. Chocolate is one kind of comfort! It's a good source of energy, low dose of caffeine and calmness. It is said that chocolates can cure fatigue due to a long day of work.(I'm pretty sure that's the reason Harry takes chocolate frogs after any encounters with Dementors..Heeee)

7. No scientific research has any strong proof that chocolate is contributive to acne!! Acne is more likely to be cause by unhealthy eating habits.
