Three Wise Monkeys Symbol

Three Wise Monkeys represent 3 attributes of: 
  • See No Evil
  • Hear No Evil
  • Speak No Evil
And sometimes there's another one of "Do No Evil."

It's similar with Confucius's teaching of "Look not at what is contrary to propriety; listen not to what is contrary to propriety; speak not what is contrary to propriety; make no movement which is contrary to propriety."

Wise Much?
I have been a big fan of three wise monkeys since I watched a cartoon featuring them when I was a Kid. Until now I'm still a big fan.
When I can help it I try not to be Snoopy, Gossipy and  Nosy with other people's matter.

I heard that Mahatma Gandhi used to keep a figurine of this three monkeys with him until the day he died.
No wonder he's so wise.

The Power of A Hug and Hugging


Do you know that hugging is a very powerful action?

A hug or the act of hugging is a magical thing to do and experienced. By hugging you can heal a friend's broken heart. You can heal a person’s sadness and pain. You can make awkward situation become less tense. You can relax someone’s feeling.

By hugging someone you are showing them that you love them in a friendly manner. By hugging them you are showing that you support them and that they mean something to you.
So share your hug! Just a simple 3 seconds hug, cheer people up, and make them feel like they are worthy and appreciated.

Of course you do not go and just hug strangers on the street! Just hug people that you know and unless you are hugging your parents or lovers, when you feel like someone is in need of a hug you have to ask permission first.

This is a very positive action and there are ripple effects in hugging. When you make someone feel better this automatically makes them feel more positive towards life and people around them.

Even though in some cultures hugging is an intimate action, it is highly advisable to hug people that you care about. Hugging does not mean you fancy them, it just mean to show that you care and you support them. So if your culture permits it, hug your parents, hug your lover, hug your friends, and hug people that you really care about. Hug and really mean to hug.

Life will be much more positive and people hearts will be more accepting everywhere.

Much Love,
MK

    Dating and Tips on Keeping It Going Smoothly

    Dating is the most awesome activity you people in relationship are blessed with.
    Even with all the glory and no matter how much you love your other half, with unannounced circumstances like menstrual cycles and mood swings this dating thing could suddenly go flat and boring. You do not want this to happen when you guys are on a date!

    So here are some activity and additional tips to smooth out your dating time:

    • Taking your partner to the movies
    sometimes when you take your partner to the movies, one of you might not like this movie as much as the other one. To make this situation more enjoyable you should make sure that you tell him/her how much you appreciate it that they want to accompany you.

    • Long drive in a car
    one of you would be driving and normally you guys would fall into this comfortable silence where each of you would enjoy the other one’s company. On the other hand, sometimes things could get a little boring, to chill things out, just sing a song and make a joke like *turning off the cassette/CD/radio* “They are thirsty already.”

    • Walking on the beach
    Even though this is the most romantic things to do with your partner. Spice it up by hiding a rose up your sleeves or something.


    • No where to go
    Come over to her house to watch DVDs with just her or her family, or you could just send her a nice voice note of you singing a love song for her (even if you cannot sing properly).
    If you just cannot think of anything that you guys usually do that is exciting, find an empty schedule for a couple of days and ask her/him to go on a mini vacation like hiking, mountain climbing, boat riding, or just travel somewhere near together.

    When you already got a partner and someone you want to spend your time with, do not let go just because you are too lazy to be a little creative. Trust me, it is worth it!

    Make them always feel good and content whenever they are with you is your main business.

      The Wonder of A Musical Instrument

      Ola!

      I am guessing that many people knows how to play instrument aye? I mean, some people know how to play the piano, the violin, the drum or the guitar or the pipe bag?!
      But not me ey!
      The only instrument I played was a "flute" in Junior high! Mind you, A damn freaking flute. I can't even remember how to play that one anymore. It was a compulsory instrument for Music Subject back then.

      Anywayyy, after a long consideration I got me'self a GUITAR! ohohooo!

      A real acoustic guitar people! Jealous much? HAHA... maybe not.
      soo, I am thrilling my pants rite nowww! hehehe.. I feel like Bruno Mars slash Melissa Etheridge when I get my hand on the guitar today!

      It's a "Kapok" brand. Made in CHINA. yeahh.. no shame man. I am beginners, mind you I'm not gonna waste my money on fancy things like the expensive Yamaha guitar or the electric guitar that I'm not even expertize in yet.

      So, as I'm writing this entry rite now, i am actually taking a break from hurting my fingers! i am telling you! those strings feels like they are piercing through my fingers' skin! Bloody hurtssss! I've searched the internet on how to play the C Major chord. (Bless us for the technology!) and i also found out that it's normal for the fingers to feel hurt the first time around.
      So, i suppose my pinkies will get used to the strings later on as i keep practicing.

      Anyway my guitar looks exactly like this:

      Disclaimer: I am ripping this picture right off Google image. I am not the owner of this picture!
      My fingers still hurts and I am too lazy to take picture of my brand new guitar. But it looks exactly like that! (thank you internet, you are a miracle!)





      Well! I am in love with this guitar instrument thingy! *hug the guitar
      I hope i can start playing a song soon tho.. that's gonna be awesome~!

      i think it's because i have been playing PATAPON 3 on PSP too much that I want to be able to create a melody other than Pata pata pata pon or something! *ugh

      Back to the craziness of my newest obsession of guitar melody!



      Have a great life people!
