Hello, my wife

Whenever I say it, it seems real right?

When did you know

that your feelings for each other is real?

I felt that it was already becoming real

when he defended me on some issues.

Then I already saw his sincerity when he started visiting me at our house to meet my family

I realized that not everybody would do that

That's where it all started

The on-screen scenes were no longer enough for me to get to know Kathryn (more)

Seriously, I want her to be my "love team" in real life

Ford

She likes it

She likes my surname, Ford

Thank you for spending my 21st birthday with me

How long have you been spending birthdays together?

With Kathryn?

Five years

uhm no

six because even before we used to celebrate together

I just want to be with her on my birthday

As long as our trip (to Japan) together pushes through

I will already be very happy

I am very lucky because DJ's family (his mom and siblings) are easy to get along with

I feel happy whenever I see Kathryn and my siblings spend time together

When I saw her post? Of course I felt happy

It took time for DJ to earn the trust of my sisters, mama and especially papa

He earned their trust over the last five years

It's a happy feeling when the person you love is very vocal about his feelings

It means a lot for me

(Our plans) In the next six years

I hope we're able to travel

and we have a steady/stable life

I truly feel his love that's why I'm very happy and blessed

I think (instead of being desperate)

I'm more of persistent/determined when it comes to love

Dj never lets me feel desperate for (affection)

because he drowns me with love

Does forever exist (between you and Kath?

Yes. Forever exists

There is

Forever exists guys

don't be "bitter" about it

Do you celebrate monthsaries?

Not anymore

Kathryn and I celebrate anniversaries

How to Make Homemade Coconut Milk - Duration: 5:16.

Hey everyone, Cynthia here from Cynthia Ungson Health Coaching.

Today I'm going to show you how to make a luscious and delicious homemade coconut milk

you do not want to miss.

So, stay tuned.

[Intro]

So, here I have two cups of unsweetened coconut flakes.

I got this variety from Trader Joe's.

You can see here, organic unsweetened flake coconut.

Those work really well.

And the ratio of coconut to water is 1 to 1.

I find that that ratio produces a very rich and luscious coconut milk.

So, I'm heating up on the stove right now, 2 cups of water.

And, when that's done, I'll pour it into the coconuts.

So, now my water is heated and I'm going to go ahead and pour it in.

Just like that, perfect.

So, here we have the coconut and water just sitting around mingling together.

And, we're just gonna wait until it cools down a little bit before we blend it.

Can you see me?

So, here I am hanging out with my blender, my Vitamix, while I'm waiting for my coconut

and water to cool down a little bit.

And once that's done, I'll just put it into this baby and blend.

It's really that simple to make really luscious and rich delicious coconut milk you can put

in all sorts of recipes or just drink straight.

I love to just drink it straight.

I also love to put it in a chia pudding, which I'll show you in another video.

Isn't this beautiful?

Isn't this baby beautiful?

So, the coconut and water mixture has cooled down well enough.

I'm just gonna put it in my blender now.

With my trusty tool.

My spatula.

Just want to put all the contents into the blender like this.

Just very simple.

So now the coconut and water is in the blender, we're gonna go ahead and blend it for two

minutes on high.

If I know how to put this in.

There we go.

[Blending]

So here we have the coconut milk blended and now we just have to strain it.

I use a nut milk bag.

I know other people use cheesecloth.

And that works fine.

So all we have to do is pour it in.

And separate the coconut milk from the pulp.

Let's just go ahead and do that.

I just like to get every little bit, because I'm going to be squeezing out as much of the

coconut milk as I can.

I want to make sure I get all of it.

So that's good, and now, now we just squeeze it out.

This is actually very fun.

Well, I think it's fun.

Just squeeze out as much of it as you can and what results is an amazing rich homemade

coconut milk.

And there it is.

Homemade coconut milk, ready to go.

And there you have it, homemade coconut milk.

I hope you enjoyed this recipe.

I know this recipe goes very very well with coconut milk chia seed pudding.

I'll show you that in the next video.

If you liked this video, please give me a thumbs up, subscribe to my channel.

I'm also available on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

So please add me.

And, I will see you next time.

How to Massage for TMJ - Massage Monday #344 - Duration: 4:00.

Hi everyone, this is Yasuko and it's time for Massage Monday.

Last week I showed you the acupressure points for TMJ.

This week I'm going to show you how to massage for TMJ.

You massage the muscles so basically you will be massaging and loosening the chewing muscles.

Starting with the external muscles.

First locate the chewing muscle called masseter under the cheek bone in front of the ear by

clenching your teeth.

Once you locate it, relax your mouth and massage those muscles up and down by making circles,

short strokes, vertically pinching between the thumb and the side of the index finger,

and horizontally pinching under the cheek bone.

You don't need a lot of pressure because if you press too much it may make the pain worse.

Do it for 10 seconds each.

Move up to the temples.

Again clench your teeth to locate the temples.

And once you find it, make small circles on and around the temples on both sides for 10

seconds.

Move to the side of your head above the ears and feel the muscles as you clench your teeth

or grind your teeth.

This head muscle called temporalis is also a chewing muscle.

Once you locate the muscle, start making small circles.

Or as you can see, it fans out around the ears.

Besides circles you can also glide your fingers in the direction of the muscles like lines

radiating from the ears.

This may help your tension headache as well.

Now we will massage the chewing muscles from inside of your mouth.

Stick your clean thumb in your mouth.

There is a very tight vertical muscle next to the last tooth in the very back.

This is called medial pterygoid.

Massage this muscle gently up and down for 10 seconds.

While you are touching this muscle, clench your teeth and feel how strong the chewing

muscles are.

It must trap your thumb between the cheek and the teeth.

Once you feel the muscles massage them from inside and outside for 10 seconds.

Repeat on the other side.

You are welcome to do more than 10 seconds if you have time but do this every day for

the best results because consistency is more important.

If you do this sitting up you are prone to drooling and making a mess so I recommend

doing this lying on your back or while you are taking a shower.

These should help alleviate the TMJ pain especially if you tend to clench or grind your teeth

a lot.

If you are looking for a treatment I highly recommend looking for a specialist in CranioSacral

Therapy.

It's a very gentle therapy that works with the movement of the sutures of the skull.

It is very effective for headaches but it's also very effective for TMJ.

I hope this is helpful.

Thanks for watching.

I'll see you back next week.

Make it a great week.

You Have 5 Seconds - Daily Encouragemints - Duration: 0:56.

Hey guys, welcome to today's

EncourageMint, which is meant to freshen,

your day. You have five seconds.. All of us

have these habits in our life that we're

trying to kick. These things have held us

down, and they've crippled us from moving

forward and growing. And so, what we need

to do is we need to put these prompts in

our life. And so, like for instance, if you

wanted to wake up early and you're

always slept in and you just felt like

you're wasting the day way, you want to

wake up early like at 5:00 a.m. you put

a prompt in the form of an alarm clock

set to 5:00 a.m. next to your bed. The

problem is, is that it goes off and you

have like five seconds to act you got to

do something or else the prompts goes

away and your mind will kick in and your

hand will shut the alarm off. So it's

going to be cold at 5 AM. You're

gonna to be tired, but you have to jump out

of bed, get on your two feet, shiver and

then, you're going to win. Have a great

day.

15 Worst McDonald's Products Ever - Duration: 7:31.

• What state will throw you in jail for 60 days for having an erection in public?

What state threw a kid in juvenile hall for using a Sharpie in class?

Here are 15 absurd laws you may have broken without even knowing it.

15 – Throwing Out Someone Else's Junk Mail

• At some point, you've probably opened your mailbox to see an envelope addressed

to someone you've never met before.

• Your response was probably just to deem it unimportant and drop it in the trash can.

• If so, well done!

You've committed a felony punishable by 5 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

14 – Playing Fantasy Football for Money • If you're one of the millions of people

in the United States who plays Fantasy Football, or any other fantasy sports, good on you!

• However, if you're one of the millions who plays in a fantasy league for cash money,

you're basically participating in an illegal gambling ring.

• Gambling laws do have some provisions to allow for cash fantasy sports, but some

states, like Florida and Kansas, are much more strict about enforcement.

13 – Having a Sharpie in Public • Some states consider Sharpies to be graffiti

tools, and therefore classify it in the same way as spray paint.

• "Yeah, right," you think.

"Nobody's going to get in trouble for having a Sharpie."

• You'd think so, but a 13-year-old kid in Oklahoma City was placed under citizen's

arrest by their math teacher because the kid's Sharpie bled through the paper and marked

the desk.

• And it wasn't just the teacher that overreacted.

The poor kid was actually sent to Juvie for the crime of using a Sharpie in class.

12 – Not Claiming eBay Sales as Income • Remember that time you sold that thing

on eBay?

And you got like 30 bucks from it?

• Yeah, that's income.

And you have to claim income on your income taxes.

That's why it's called that.

• Now, you have to do quite a bit of selling on eBay for them to actually send you a tax

form – 20,000 dollars' worth to be exact – but even if you're not a power seller,

it's still technically income.

11 – Living With Your Significant Other • Michigan and Mississippi have archaic

laws on the books preventing you from living with your domestic partner before marriage.

• Florida just recently repealed their cohabitation law, which was written in 1868 and considered

it a second-degree misdemeanor for a man and woman to "lewdly and lasciviously associate

and cohabit together."

10 – Playing Bingo • Bingo, it appears, is pretty serious business.

Charitable organizations can operate cash bingo games with an appropriate license, which

is why your grandparents can play on Thursday night at the church.

• But god help you if you're playing a bingo game without a license.

Then you're guilty of running "illegal bingo."

• That may sound lame, but in 2016, an illegal bingo ring was broken up in Houston and 12

people were arrested.

Among the evidence discovered in the bust was enough military-grade weaponry, munitions

and body armor to "start a small war."

That's the police's words, not mine.

9 – Having an Erection (in Indiana) • Having a "covered clearly erect penis"

in public in Indiana falls under indecent exposure law.

• That means if you're waiting around in line at the bank, and you suddenly "pitch

a tent" in your jeans for no particular reason, somebody can turn you into the police,

and you can go to jail for up to 60 days.

8 – Buying Alcohol On Sunday • In several U.S. States, you can't buy

liquor on Sundays.

• Why?

I don't know, because church, I guess.

• The silly thing is, there's no law against buying the booze on Saturday and DRINKING

it on Sunday.

You just can't buy it ON Sunday.

7 – Sodomy • The Supreme Court basically overruled

sodomy laws in 2003, but some states are still holding out.

• Now, without setting up cameras in your bedroom and sending the tape to the authorities,

you're unlikely to get caught, but under the right circumstances, you still could get

busted.

And no, it doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman doing the deed, and it doesn't

matter if it's the mouth or the bum.

It all counts as sodomy.

6 – Throwing Away a Musical Greeting Card • In California, household electronic waste

is banned from landfills in an attempt to reduce heavy metal pollution.

• Unfortunately that obnoxious birthday card your mom sent you that sings "happy

birthday" when you open it?

• Yeah, that counts.

If Californians want to stay on the right side of the law, they have to take those things

to special hazardous waste handling facilities so they can be disposed of properly.

5 – Owning a Sex Toy • There is no U.S. state where it is illegal

to own a gun.

However, there are several areas of the country where owning a "Silver Bullet" will get

you in big trouble.

• In Alabama, the 1998 Anti-Obscenity Enforcement Act criminalizes the sale of sex toys… unless

you have a doctor's note.

• Actually, sex toys can still be sold in Alabama if they are for "bona fide medical,

scientific, educational, legislative, judicial or law enforcement purposes."

Yeah, sure… this is for "education."

4 – Not Clearing Snow Off Your Car • If you live in a state where you're

likely to have snow pile up on your car, you're probably not always keen on spending a half

hour wiping it all clear before you drive into work the next day.

• But legally, you have to in 11 states.

Snow and ice flying off the roof of your car and hitting the cars behind you makes for

a pretty unpleasant commute for everyone behind you.

3 - Fornication • Yeah, so apparently if you've had any

sort of sex with a person you're not married to, there's a decent chance your state can

fine you.

• You might this this is a holdover of a bygone era, like sodomy laws.

But no.

Virginia lawmakers attempted to repeal their ancient fornication laws in 2014, and the

movement failed.

• In fact, fornication is a crime that is actually prosecuted regularly in Virginia.

There were eight convictions for it in 2013 alone.

2 – Having a Snowball Fight • In Topeka Kansas, throwing a snowball

at someone carries a fine of up to 499 dollars, and up to six months in jail.

• The section of the legal code that states this refers to the act as "throwing of missiles."

Aspen, Colorado shares in this legal opinion.

1 – Using Public Profanity • In Virginia, "profanely swearing or

cursing in public" is a Class 4 misdemeanor.

• In Michigan, the law prohibits cursing in front of women and children.

• No worries though, Michigan is thinking about repealing that law – along with their

laws against participating in a walkathon, and their law against calling someone out

in print for refusing an offer for a duel.

Okay, guys, be honest: how many of these laws have you broken?

Leave us a comment below and we'll pin our favorite!

Bye Bye Saint Sebastian - Duration: 3:11.

There is a violent, naked version of Where's Waldo available to you at cathedrals and museums

all across the world.

When you feel overwhelmed by Virgin Marys and crucifixions,

look around at the religious art and try to spot the guy tied to a tree, vaguely unimpressed

97% naked, and positively riddled with arrows.

Literally covered with them.

That is none other than St Sebastian.

This guy lived in Rome over 1700 years ago.

He was a guard in the Roman army around 280 CE,

under emperor Diocletian.

He was also working to convert people to Christianity,

which was a very unpopular thing to do at that time.

Word eventually got around to the emperor,

so Diocletian had Sebastian arrested, tied naked to a tree, and used as human-target

practice for the army.

Thus, the arrows.

Legend has it that Sebastian, despite wearing more arrows than clothes,

somehow miraculously survived.

Once healed with the help of a local woman named Irene

Who was apparently skilled in the art of fixing dozens of puncture wounds to the stomach

And who does not get nearly enough credit in this story

he decided to pay a surprise visit to Diocletian.

Sebastian thoroughly told him off about how unenthused and disappointed he was

about this whole ordeal.

The emperor thoughtfully considered the complaint, pondered the miracle of his survival,

then promptly had Sebastian beaten to death instead.

Despite being immune to arrows, clubs seemed to work just fine.

Sebastian was martyred, and is now the Patron saint of athletes, Rio,

and quitting while you are ahead.

But he lives on today as an easter egg in religious art.

Look for a young man with a peeved face, frozen for all eternity as the roman army's pin cushion.

Even better, he often shows up to the party in other scenes from the bible,

such as the birth of Jesus.

All the other saints and apostles get to be dressed and conveniently not full of arrows,

but then there's Sebastian, naked and bleeding all over the place.

Knowing a little back story can help illuminate

the dark, dense religious art of the Middle Ages.

Sebastian used to be just another picture on the wall for us.

One we probably walked by dozens of times.

Once we learned his story and how to spot him though, he's become a perpetual highlight.

There's lots of these hidden secrets lurking in art and architecture all around you when

you travel.

Whether it's being able to spot a Corbel arch or knowing why there's nipples on Caesar's

breast plate, these tidbits add a new, vibrant layer when you travel.

Think of it as a conversation going on in the next room over.

It's there, and you've basically tuned it out and then BAM someone says your name,

and it captures your attention, pulls you in without ever getting any louder.

Now, you've got St. Sebastian, in full color, calling out to you from the wall.

He's only the first.

Knowing what to look for in art is like speaking the local language, connecting you across

nations, religions, and centuries.

All it takes is looking up a little research, and looking up at the wall.

That's why we're here, so that you can "Know before you go."
