Final Fantasy X Imagine me without You 2007-07-24 01:31:00 I feel that humans are really unique beings that we can "feel" for animated characters or cartoons. They don't even look like real people nor the storyline that they are in logical but I truly believe and can even understand when some folks say that they cried when they watch a music video clip for this song... Although I am not a fan of this game or movie but this song is truly touching. Now I am tempted to go find the vcd...Song Lyrics: As long as stars shine down from heaven And the rivers run into the sea Til the end of time forever You’re the only love I’ll need In my life you’re all that matters In my eyes the only truth I see When my hopes and dreams have shattered You’re the one that’s there for me When I found you I was blessed And I will never ...

How Can I Make Myself More Attractive? 2007-07-22 05:50:00 “It was not easy or comfortable to keep up a conversation with girls. I had no idea of what they were thinking, how they felt, or how they looked at things.”—Tyler.WHAT qualities do girls like best in boys? “Confidence,” says a teenager named Emily. Robyn, another teen, puts being funny at the top of her list. And what do boys most value in girls? Not surprisingly, one survey showed that good looks topped their list. Similar interests and values were listed sixth.Articles and surveys that discuss boy/girl relationships are popular fare in youth-oriented magazines. Clearly, many young people think a lot about—or perhaps even worry about—how the opposite sex views them. Maybe you even worry about that yourself sometimes. Not that you’re ready to get married anytime soon. It’s just that no one wants to be unattractive or undesirable! Tyler observes: “When you’re a teenager, you want to be attractive to everyone. You want to be acceptable to your peers, male and femal ...

Coffee Anyone? 2007-07-20 00:22:04 Hmm...coffee had been link to much diseases from heart palpitation to stroke and now asthma? Well, there are the statistics and there ARE the statistics. Sigh...needless to say, I am a coffee drinker and I love coffee. And I have to admit that no amount of statistics can prevent me from enjoying my cup of coffee in the morning or at coffee breaks.There was a time when someone suggested that coffee can be the cause I am having itchy skin...and I was "forced" to stop drinking coffee for a period of time. I DID. But then I went back to my beloved coffee again after skin was better. Well, the skin problem is still there off and on but I can still have my coffee. It made the eczema more bearable...whether coffee was the cause or effect of it... *Smile*(Word count 142) ...

Put-Downs-Joke or Insults? 2007-07-20 00:20:27 What put-downs really areLet me begin by saying what they are not. Put-downs are not "harmless jokes." The test of the difference between a put-down and a joke is this: Would the jokester be happy if someone he respected used that very same so-called joke on him?Put-downs are not "constructive criticism." At a construction site, people are building something. To construct is to build. To give the kind of criticism that is constructive, you must see evidence of it helping the receiver to grow. For instance, when my children were little, they took music lessons. When they hit a wrong note after having practiced long and hard, the teacher would say, "I can tell you have been practicing well." She would then recite, very specifically, five or so things they did well. Then-and only then-she would say, "Now play that [name of note] again for me." If it was right this time, she would say, "Do you hear the difference from before?" This helped the child feel good about what was d ...

How Can I Carry On a Long-Distance Courtship? 2007-07-17 05:58:00 THE world has become a smaller place. In recent decades the development of low-cost air travel, a globally linked telephone network, speedy mail delivery, and the Internet has opened up new possibilities in the realm of romance. And in many ways the idea of carrying on a long-distance courtship across hundreds or even thousands of miles might seem appealing—especially if marital prospects at home seem limited.For some couples, long-distance courtship has proved to be a blessing. “We’ve been happily married for 16 years,” says Tony. Some may even argue that long-distance courtship has the advantage of allowing couples to get to know each other without the blinding power of physical attraction. Whatever its advantages, though, a long-distance romance presents some unique challenges.Getting to Know Each OtherIt is best to know as much as you can about someone you are thinking of marrying. However, as a husband named Frank says from personal experience, “it is not easy to get to ...

Coffee and Asthma? 2007-07-14 22:33:18 Here are some facts about the relationship between coffee and asthma. Regular coffee drinkers have about 1/3 less asthma symptoms than those of non-coffee drinkers according to a Harvard researcher who studied 20,000 people.For the past several years, many experts have touted how horrible coffee was for our health and that the drinking of caffeinated coffee should be immediately ceased. Recently, however, several studies have shown that caffeinated coffee can actually be extremely good for people. One of the groups of people who can reap health benefits from drinking caffeinated coffee is those people who suffer from asthma.In particular, drinking caffeinated coffee in the situation of an emergency onset of asthma can allow the patient to breathe easily. Doctors have recommended coffee as an emergency way of treating asthma patients who find themselves with a sudden onset and no medication for many, many years.In Scotland, as evidenced by the Edinburgh Medical Journal, asthma and coffe ...

Luncheon Meat 2007-07-09 09:09:00 BEIJING - People living in communities surrounding a large shallow lake have been overrun by field mice after floodwaters drove the rodents out of islands on the lake, state media reported Monday.The mouse invasion began on June 23 when the Yangtze River flooded, raising the water level in central China's Dongting Lake and submerging mouse holes on lake islands, the official Xinhua News Agency said. Now, an estimated 2 billion mice are ravaging crops in 22 counties around the lake, and authorities were rushing to construct walls and ditches to keep the rodents out. Residents have killed more than 2.3 million field mice — or 90 tons of the rodents, Xinhua said. In Hunan province's Yiyang County, a ditch along the lakeshore was filled with mice. Residents were using clubs and shovels to beat them to death, while others scooped the furry animals out using fishing nets. Mice have already damaged dikes and ruined crops in areas where authorities were slow to build walls and ditches, Xi ...

Transformers 2007-07-07 06:48:00 A long time ago, far away on the planet of Cybertron, a war was being waged between the noble Autobots (led by the wise Optimus Prime) and the devious Decepticons (commanded by the dreaded Megatron) for control over the Allspark, a mystical talisman that would grant unlimited power to whoever possessed it.The Autobots managed to smuggle the Allspark off the planet, but Megatron blasted off in search of it. He eventually tracked it to the planet of Earth (circa 1850), but his reckless desire for power sent him right into the Arctic Ocean, and the sheer cold forced him into a paralyzed state. His body was later found by Captain Archibald Witwicky, and before going into a comatose state Megatron used the last of his energy to engrave a map, showing the location of the Allspark, into the Captain's glasses, and send a transmission to Cybertron. He is then carted away by the Captain's ship.A century later, Sam Witwicky, nicknamed Spike by his friends, buys his first car. To his shock, he d ... Transformers

Spectacles and me 2007-07-01 04:09:35 I still remember when I realized that I need to wear spectacles about hmm...20 years ago. I was kind of devastated for spectacles was not known to me as a "fashion statement" then. It was a defect. I had a defect. An obvious one on the face. I was worried about making the "wrong" impressions to my peers. Nevertheless, a pair of spectacles I do need.These days, folks purposely get those frameless spectacles, sunglasses of course, etc. Things have surely changed since then. Then there is contact lens...which I have not got the nerve to try. And Lasik surgery...most out of question. Sp specky I am...Sigh! ...

The Eyes Have It 2007-06-23 07:39:00 Did you know Leonardo da Vinci sketched and described several forms of contact lenses in 1508, and in 1632 Rene Descartes suggested the possibility of a corneal contact lens? Civilization has come a long way from these early ideas to the high-tech advancements we have to care for our eyes today. We even have choices for improved vision other than through a contact lens or eyeglasses. LASIK surgical procedures are done on the eye and intended to reduce dependency on eyeglasses. It doesn't promise perfect vision, but it offers convenient benefits to people that don't want to put on glasses.Millions of people are using gas permeable rigid contact lenses, extended wear, soft-lens, bifocal vision, a whole rainbow of color contacts, no-fuss disposables, and lenses that protect from UV rays. If eyeglasses are more your style, you have never had a bigger selection than what is on the market today. Make a bold statement with colors of eyeglass frames or let the frames blend into your face.

Songs from Guru 2007-06-14 21:52:00 Barso ReTere Bina ...

Guru 2007-06-14 21:40:00 What words shall be used to describe a cinematic masterpiece like ‘Guru’. Mani Ratnam’s flawless direction and Abhishek Bachchan’s superlative performance simply leave you speechless by the end of the film. Firstly, ‘Guru’ will silence all those detractors who say that Abhishek doesn’t have a talent for acting. The actor not just surprises you, he shocks you with his extraordinary performance. Gosh, how come this hidden potential of Abhi never came forth before? Perhaps it is Ratnam who knows how to get the best, or even more than that, out of Abhi. Secondly, Mani Ratnam, the master of his craft, arguably surpasses all his previous works in ‘Guru’. Apart from its technical soundness, ‘Guru’ tells a story that is deeply gripping and highly inspiring. It is the tale of a man who never gives up. The protagonist of the film is a perennial fighter and an incurable optimist. Beginning in 1951, ‘Guru’ is the story of a boy who goes to Turkey to work in a petroleum co ...
