"You can tell a lot about a fellow's character by his way of eating jellybeans."This is one of my all-time favorite quotes. Ronald Reagan was a big fan of jelly beans. It was essential in the Oval office and Air Force One after he was inaugerated. Moreover, the blueberry flavor was actually invented because of him. He needed white, red and blue jelly beans for his inaugural parties. At times of my deep philosophical moments, I imagine jellybeans being ways of defining human beings. Like Ronald Reagan said, the way each person eats a jellybean is different. What he later on followed up was that some people grab handfuls, while others pick certain flavors. This is quite a silly analogy, but it actually explains a lot. I'm the kind of person who pick certain flavors. This probably means I am a more cautious person and more careful. And someone who try handfuls with different flavors probably display a more adventurous nature. And people who don't even care about what flavor they are eating, and just popping them in their mouth, this is probably the kind of person who doesn't fully appreciate jellybeans. A fun fact: did you know that Jelly Bellys are the first ever jelly beans to go outerspace? And here's an ultimate challenge: Ever tried eating a whole jellybean pack with a knife and fork?

Jellybeans
Jellybeans are probably one of the most awesome food/snack/candy on this planet. Not only does it come in different colors, it also comes in different flavors. I've had watermelon flavored jellybeans which actually have a green skin and red inside, like an actual watermelon. Some of my favorite flavors include:Root Beer, Berry Blue, Bubble Gum, Cotton Candy, Island Punch, Strawberry Cheesecake, Toasted Marshmallow, Tuttie Frutti, and list goes on and on! At times I like to think that jellybeans go deeper than just a food/snack/candy. As a famous president, Ronald Reagan once said,
Laughter
I'm going to start a series of posts, whereby I talk about a topic derived from a favorite quote of mine. So this is today's quote:
I think laughter is very important. For me, I say 'Some laughter a day, keeps doctors away'. I think this is very true. Someone once told me, everytime you laugh, your life is extended by 5 seconds. I hope this is true, but I'm kind of confused as to what is laughing 'one time'. Does this mean you laugh once, like a 'ha'? Or one minute? For me, it doesn't really matter. As long as you laugh. I try laughing at everything (well, most things, because people who laugh at everything are kind of annoying.) Laughs are actually proven to be beneficial to health because they can increase blood flow or something. A laugh is the best remedy to everything, from a boring assignment, to a bad day. Laughing actually makes people feel better. People who make other people laugh, I think those are the best kind of people, and the nicest and most generous. From the famous movie 'Singing in the rain', one of my favorite songs if 'Make 'em laugh'. Laughter is also contagious, when someone starts laughing, other people around start laughing too. To share your laugh is also a blessing to other people around you. Imagine if we could get the whole world to be laughing at once. That might just be one of my projects later on. I might try to use facebook to make a group whereby I set a date and try to get as many people (from different places, because I don't really care for timezones) to videotape themselves laughing at the exact same moment. When that's done, they can mail it to me or something, and I can make it into a video, etc. This might break the world record, and also get people to laugh more. This might actually make someone's day. So laugh. Because its worth it. And always remember, laughing is one of the three core ingredients of life: Live. Laugh. Love.
