This is the place where you can relax yourself while digesting all you would want to know about love, life and relationship. On and off I would also be touching on health and photography.
Feel free to search whatever topic you would love to read by keying in any keyword below. Do make yourself feel at home. Have a nice day!
If you have the time, try observing those people you walk by carefully. You would see that there are many different ways of walking that will clearly show the characteristic of a person. Some would walk with the chin up to show that they have the confidence to face whatever that would be present of them. Some would slouch as if they have a lot of worries or someone pushing them in their daily lives. Some even took short strides and this would clearly show that they are very indecisive about their surrounding.
From these body movements, you would know the level of confidence in each individual. Which of these two would you project yourself? Do you want to have the confident image in your life or would you like be the one always be indecisive in all the decisions you have to make in life?
It’s not solely on what you wear or the colors of your clothing that would make you a bore amongst your colleagues or friends. It’s how you carry yourself in front of them. Your posture is very important. Lift your chin and walk with your shoulders high, unbent waist with the legs locked. Never slouch or look on the ground as you walk. It would make you look shy and withdrawn. You might even need to get accustomed to shoes such as Manolo Blahnik shoes. Once you are in control of your walking skills in these shoes, you would have already mastered your level of confidence. Wherever you walk, you would feel like some great actresses walking down the walk of fame.
Don’t you hate it when you have a tight deadline and you would need to call your client to clarify on certain things before you could come out with a proposal but suddenly your mobile phone decided to die right in the grasp of your hand? I had that experience barely few days back. Luckily there was the office phone or the whole deal would have gone down the drain with all the efforts I had put in. Phew! Thank goodness!
Since I required only a simple phone without any built-in camera or complicated features, I purchased the LG KP110 at an amazing low price. The music phone is the latest version of LG’s bullet series, which constitutes one of the low priced GPRS enabled handset. There were a few enhanced features of the budget phone such as the FM Radio with the headset as the antenna and a MP3 playback where songs can be stored in the given 1GB micro sd card as in the bundled deal.
There were also the WAP connectivity, hands-free speaker, inbuilt anti-theft mobile tracker, vibration alert system, ability to store 500 phone numbers and 500 messages. The battery of the LG KP 110 is sufficient for 4 hrs talk time and 400 hours of standby time.
So far, I’m happy with the simplicity of the functions and also the elegant outlook of its design. Even the SMS function is using the T9 dictionary assist feature which made messaging rather easy. As for the MP3 playback, the sound is crystal clear. You can even change the player’s skin and set your equalizer to your music genre plus setting your music play list to shuffle or repeat mode. I would say it’s a great bargain for users like me.
Who would be the most important members in your life other than your own family? The answer is none. Most of the loves you had received and given were within your own family members. If there were any unforeseen misfortune, what would become of your family members if you were the sole bread earner? You won’t want to see them suffer for the rest of their lives without any compensation right?
It has become quite a norm for many people to steer away when someone approached them for some insurance coverage. I would understand if the person is fully insured and does not require more policies. What about a big majority of those who had just came into the working world? Did they know that the earlier age they get themselves some insurance policies, the lesser the premium is?
Here is a case scenario of a person who kept postponing his buying of a life insurance even after he got married. After a year or so, he finally had a child. Although his business had blossomed, he still refused to be committed, thinking that whatever he had earned through his working life would be sufficient for the welfare of his unemployed wife and child. Eventually, the economy crisis struck unexpectedly and business was not doing so well. He was struggling to maintain his monthly family expenses. Before the child even reached the age of 4 years old, he was struck with a terminal illness and eventually passed away. There were nothing much left to help his family pull through with life, except a skeleton company and a mortgage house. What a pity case!
What I do not understand here is why most people prefer to look at short term profits rather than looking at long term financial planning which could benefit everybody within the family. There are so many types of term life insurance rates that would be available to suit everybody’s budget. Moreover, you can upgrade your policies anytime to a higher coverage when you have met your financial stability. Would you not think about the benefits your loved ones would gain by you making the wise move to be insured right now?

An English philosopher by the name of Sir Francis Bacon once said, “Natural abilities are like natural plants, they need pruning by study. How right he was that without reading up more books or getting more information through the easily accessible internet, you would not gain much knowledge and abilities to excel better in life.
I have the tendency of creating things out from the norm, making me a step more successful than most people. Being creative is surely not an in-born thing as many would have presume as it took me years of reading up and learning through trials and errors to get to that perfection I have instilled within me now. One thing I have learned was to break out of the boundaries that had enclosed my creativity and think out of the box.
I often asked myself. Is that the best I can do for what I’m doing now? Is that the standards I have set for myself or should I have higher aims? Did I manage my time and manpower well to get a task done without any hiccups? Am I working in the right establishment or environment to have the peak in creativity? Am I self motivated? Am I the master or worker to my trade? Do I have goals? Am I getting enough of feedbacks for whatever proposals I have in hand to make the project successful? Have I proven myself to be the cream of the crowd to gain respect? What are the values in my life? These 10 points as I put it as the Ten Commandments of My Life have been circling my head for ages, making me a Thinker all the time to get the best of what I have been doing.
The won’t be any solutions in life if you were not well read to understand the way of life and how to counter them if certain situations were to appear. It may just well be a day old newspapers, magazines, novels or even your old textbooks, there will always be rooms in your head to absorb more knowledge. Everyday is a learning process and you would not be too old to learn up something new. What’s holding you back when a journey of a thousand miles will only need your initiative and motivation to begin with the first step?

Life can be quite complicated at times whether you are in a situation, over a situation or caught in between a situation. Situations may look as that in your eyes but they were not always the way they seemed to be in another person’s eyes or mind. No matter what, keep on finding out about the truth before even assuming that another person or situation is bad. It takes time to understand a person or situation to be firmed on your verdict. Even the planet earth wasn’t created overnight, so how could you just judge a person or situation by the surface?
Assumption is a bad word in my personal dictionary as it comes from the word “ASSUME”, meaning having the thought or action on a situation or a person deemed to be true. Thus, you should know by now why I hate mingling with people with that attitude. I have always practice NOT TO ASS/U/ME as it would always end up making an “ASS” out of “U” and “ME”.
I’m sure some of you might have heard about the story of the two angels who were on a learning expedition? During one night, they had decided to call on a wealthy man’s house for some food and lodging. Instead of letting them stay in the guestrooms, they were led into a dark and cold basement. Stale bread and water were served to them. As they were about to sleep on the hard cold floor, the older angel saw a hole on the wall and repaired it. The older angel saw the confused look on the younger angel’s face and smilingly told him, “Things aren’t always what they seem.”
During another night, both angels decided to put up in a poor couple’s house. They were served like kings with the best hospitality they had experienced through their expedition. The couples shared not only whatever food they had but also allowed their bed to be used by the angels. Upon sunrise, both angels were woken by loud cries. The couple’s cow lay dead in the field. They had lost their sole income.
The younger angel was stunned at the outcome and stared furiously at the older angel. The older angel replied, “Things aren’t always what they seem.” He later explained that he had to close the hole in the wealthy man’s house as he saw some gold hidden in that hole. Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, he had sealed the wall so that he would not find them. He further explained that he had to give up the cow instead as the Angel of Death was by the poor man’s wife the previous night.
Sometimes that is exactly what happens when things don’t turn out the way they should. If you have faith, you just need to trust that every outcome is always to your advantage. You might not know it until some time later.
That’s why it’s bad to make any assumptions without finding out about the truth. A life might be at stake even during the most difficult time to decide on our fates. That’s life… even the most precious person on earth could not escape his fate as shown below in the video…
