If you have heard about Feng Shui then you should know that it is a Chinese principle that states: arrangements and positioning of your furniture in your room play a big part of the flow of Qi Energy. If you do a good job following meticulously the Feng Shui principle then you will certainly bring happiness, luck and fortune in your home, and it will benefit all your family. You can start and do it yourself for your bedroom, for example but be aware that placing your bed in the wrong position will affect your happiness badly.

What you have to do is simply to arrange your furniture in the best options with the help of your common sense (and extra sense). You know when you enter a new house, you have an instant feeling. For example, you can feel comfortable, or you can feel oppressed. That’s what I am trying to tell you with an extra sense. Nothing supra normal here. Just common sense, we all have inside ourselves.

Sometimes hearing from news, ads, newspaper is not enough to know what will you believe in.  Sometimes it is still better to read or hear someone’s thoughts and insights of things.  I for myself was doubtful of putting on my selection  the Presidentaible candidate Gibo but after reading “Why Gibo” from Pinoy Tumblr, I was now aware of how Gibo thinks and his platforms for the election 2010.    Here is an excerpt of what the author wrote:

Some of you might be wondering why I am openly declaring support for the candidacy of ATTY. GILBERT “GIBO” TEODORO, JR., the standard bearer of the purportedly tainted administration party. Some of you might even wonder if I am in the right mind by doing so. To tell everyone frankly, I’d say…

In the video – Guy Sebastian sings Angels Brought me Here moments after being crowned the 1st Australian Idol in 2003.

Angels Brought Me Here by Guy Sebastian

[Verse 1] - It’s been a long and winding journey, but i’m finally here tonight.  Picking up the pieces, walking back into the light Into the sunset of your glory, where my heart and future lies There’s nothing like that feeling, when i look into your eyes…

[Bridge] - My dreams came true, when i found you I found you, my miracle…

[Chorus] - If you could see, what i see, that you’re the answer to my prayers And if you could feel, the tenderness i feel You would know, it would be clear, that angels brought me here…

[Verse 2]
Standing here before you, feels like i’ve been born again
Every breath is your love, every heartbeat speaks your name…

[Bridge 2] - My dreams came true, right here in front of you My miracle…

[Chorus] - If you could see, what i see, you’re the answer to my prayers And if you could feel, the tenderness i feel You would know, it would be clear, that angels brought me here…

[Bridge 3] - Brought me here to be with you, I’ll be forever grateful (oh forever Faithful) My dreams came true When I found you My miracle…

[Chorus] - If you could see, what i see, you’re the answer to my prayers And if you could feel, the tenderness i feel You would know, it would be clear, that angels brought me here… Yes they brought me here… If you could feel, the tenderness i feel… You would know, it would be clear, that angels brought me here…

SIDE THOUGHTS

  • Love isn’t a fairytale, it isn’t perfect, and it doesn’t always come easy. But it is something that we should hold on to for the rest of our lives, because it’s the only thing that’s worth fighting for.

  • Hero: someone we admire. Someone we look up to. Someone who gives us hope. Not a myth, or an icon, or a legend- someone solid, genuine and real. An ordinary person who does extraordinary things. A hero picks us up when we are down. Believes in us before we believe in ourselves. Inspires us to expand and embrace what’s possible. Helps us realize that we can be heroes, too - Kobi Yamada

  • Devil’s Pool - a small lagoon, enclosed by rocks, on the edge of one of the biggest, most beautiful waterfalls in the world, Victoria Falls. Set on Livingstone Island, at a height of 103 meters, Devil’s Pool is definitely one of the most surreal locations on Earth

  • Enchanted Well or Poco Encantado.  Located in Chapada Diamantina National Park in Brazil.  - This giant sunken pool is 120 feet deep and the water is so transparent the rocks and ancient tree trunks are visible on the bottom. Access to this pond is highly controlled for environmental protection of its rare and delicate ecosystem.

  • I don’t believe in fate or destiny. I believe in various degrees of hatred, paranoia, and abandonment. However much of that gets heaped upon you doesn’t matter - it’s only a matter of how much you can take and what it does to you — Henry Rollins
