• SHite o de 3 weeX: saw Timbaland at 'Beats on the Beach' in Abu-Dhabi by Flash Entertainment (Timbaland is some lyricist who makes awful RnB music, not even trying to sing).


• FunnY o de 3 weeX: Muay Thai competition enthusiast got offended by me not taking his opinion about always training with an instructor. [more]


• Quote o de 3 weeX: "It is not work that kills people, it is worry. Work is healthy; you can hardly put more on one than one can bear. But worry is rust upon the blade. It is not movement that destroys the machinery, but friction." ~Mow Row (- Henry Ward Beecher).

FunnY o de 3 WeeX [mored]
I called a Muay Thai competition enthusiast (to train with) so he asked me about how I train. I replied that been to alot of instructors for around 3 years, didn't stick to anyone particular cause didn't like them, so started to train with MuayThai.com / vids / friends and occasional "instructor" visits.

He replied that training without an instructor is BULL, and can meetup just to run otherwise with the instructor. I gently replied that some instructors say that to keep students, but they teach things that must be practised regularly, he disagreed and mentioned the big pads, sand bags, running etc. so I said it's his opinion which I respect and which he can keep. He replied telling to go train by myself then told my connection not to call him back; loOol! Some people are seriously closed-minded!

• SHite o de 3 WeeX: got called to move my car as soon as reached home (20 minutes walk, in the constrution are dirt). I slipped by the slippery mud and hit my shin into a big piece of metal while going back (ouch!). All that because the attendant was in the bathroom so didn't see me to tell me that it was not allowed to park there. Whatever happened to good ol' signs eh?

info o de 2 WeeX: Reiki [more]
Reiki is an ancient healing art that was rediscovered by Usui in the 1800s. The idea is that by having certain principles and attitudes towards life, anybody can attract the Universal Energy to heal anything, including electronics since everything is made up of the same energy.

The principles of life are straightforward really: be kind to all, do not be angry, do not worry, be honest, be thankful. By having these principles, the ability to attract Universal Energy or Ki (Chi in Chinese) is possible, and is assisted with attunement by an existing Reiki master who will help open up the chakras.

The princples when it comes to healing: the focus must always be on giving, from both the person bringing healing, and the person being healed. The most important principle is to leave ego aside, even when it comes to the idea of being a healer whereby one must not think of himself as a healer, but simply a channel for the healing. Also, the healing must be done with love. The light then travels to the chakras with most need, but distributing the light with the hands helps to balance out the healing effect.

Each chakra is embeded with Mental/Emotional features, Physical Features, hence Mental/Emotional Problems, Physical Problems, and hence the door to bring mental balance, the ability to heal emotional ailments, and the ability to heal physical ailments.

Physical problems are explained in terms of stress in this life and the past life. In this life, stress causes toxins to accumulate in the body, so the defensive mechanism over-reacts to remove the toxins, which causes inflamation, and fever builds up in aim to burn the toxins. In past lives, the actions were recorded in the DNA, so any bad karma that has not been cleared lead to stress that is high enough to cause an over-defensive mechanism called "armouring", that is, to have been locked up within the body. That locked up stress later causes the same symptoms as stress in this life, hence causing an overreactive defensive mechanism causing inflamation and fever and such.

Whenever a person summons Reiki to heal himself or another, the Reiki light helps bring balance to the summoner and the person being healed, and may heal physical ailments or emotional/mental problems. Hence, giving is its own reward, and giving is receiving. In other words, when you give, you receive (automatically, without worrying or requesting anything in return).

Having said that, I am rather skeptic about whether those that ask you for money for spiritual services such as healing are truly able to heal or actually have anything with spirituality. Some say that it is a way of giving value to their work, and some say that it helps the person being healed / assisted to motivate himself to use the assistance, and one said (my Reiki master actually) that it is essential to have the exchange happen because there must be give and take for the benefit to take place (which I find absurd really).

• eVent o de Week: tried out Grace Light meditation. Interesting mix between Reiki and Raj Yoga light visualization. Claims to clear blocks to success and relaxation, and to help erase bad karma. The light is different than the Reiki white light, and is mainly golden in color. The chakras are 12 as apposed to 7 in Reiki



• info o de Week: The 7 Natural Laws of the Universe which includes the Law of Attraction [more below].



• Biz o de Week: oDesk for outsourcing your work. I was suprised by the amount of people that bid on my jobs just as soon as I post, and most are from Philippines too!



• Shite o de Week: LimeWire seems to have too many files that are either malicious or advertising intended.



• Shite2 o de Week: outsourcing is very difficult because it takes time to find the right person or team. I already hired two teams now on one assignment, and both were failures because they either missed the milestones and didn't update me or they just didn't understand (or want to understand) my actual requirements.



• Quote o de Week: "Watch your thoughts; they become feelings. Watch your feelings; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny" -unknown (I heard this one in church then researched it XD . Isn't it lovely?)

info o de Week (more)
I was researching Law of Attraction by a Meetup group here in Dubai and found the following, mostly published by The SGR (Science of Getting Rich) (I think they are trying to sound like Church of Scientology or something) all over the web.

Here is a small summareh:

• 1. The Law of Perpetual Transmutation.
  Energy moves into physical form. The images you hold in your mind most often materialize in results in your life.



• 2. The Law of Relativity.
  Nothing is good or bad, big or small... until you RELATE it to something. Practice realting your situation to something much worse and yours will always look good.



• 3. The Law of Vibration and Attraction.
  Everything vibrates, nothing rests. Conscious awareness of vibration is called feeling. Your thoughts control your paradigms and your vibration (which dictates what you attract). When you are not feeling good, become aware of what you are thinking, then think of something pleasant.



• 4. The Law of Polarity.
  Everything has an opposite: Hot - Cold, Up - Down, Good - Bad. Constantly look for the good in people and situations. When you find it, tell the person. People love compliments and the positive idea in your mind makes you feel good. Remember, good idea = good vibrations.



• 5. The Law of Rhythm.
  The tide goes out ... night follows day ... good times ... bad times. When you are on a down swing, do not feel bad. Know the swing will change and things will get better. There are good times coming, think of them.



• 6. The Law of Cause and Effect.
  Whatever you send into the Universe comes back. Action re-action are equal and opposite. Say good things to everyone; treat everyone with total respect and it will all come back. Never worry about what you are going to get, just concentrate on what you can give.



• 7. The Law of Gender.
  Every seed has a gestation or incubation period. Ideas are spiritual seeds and will move into form or physical results. Your goals will manifest when the time is right. KNOW they will.

This is a test post from Photobucket.com

Following is an excerpt from my TJP (Technical Journal & Planner) about the pains or inefficiencies of obligations in religions, specifically Islam.

"delayed by uncle because he wntd to pray so:
1) waited for change to proper clothing for rest.
2) he thought that print in Arabic meant type so thot wil take while for me so he changed to dish-dasha to go to mosque
3) I said dat shod change bak to prpr to pray in mosque with hm on way bt he said dat wod rthr goto mosque and come bak
so to go to rest.
aftr. I said dat shod jst com to restaurant bt he said dat dn't no wer
4) finaly he sed dat wil pray quik @ home den go to rest., so I prntd den saw him waitng for prayer time so again I sed dat
shod jst go to mosque on way and by time der wil be prayer time. He disagreed and spent ~10M prayng in advance
saying wil pray same prayer again later
5) waited fr hm to change (~2M) den left.. finally
In total, got delayed by about 45Minutes because of this one single prayer."

iThink I'm changing the word that represents bad events from the Scottish word SHite to Blarg relating to the common internet slang expression .. blarg.

Reason being that the former format-code could limit my audience, and at some instances, even offend them 8O. Besides.. I barely ever use the word in real life lOl.

Any comments? Yes... silence is a type of comment. but it's way overrated, and seems to be disgustingly overused lately!

Well I checked the Dot.TK site stats, but I didn't get a record for hits for either 20th or 21st of Jan .. which doesn't make sense because the hit numerb more than doubled overnight between the 20th and the 21st.

So I check my Geocities site stats and found out that I actually received around 15 hits on the 20st by itself. I checked if any of those hits are registered as me, but it doesn't seem to count me as a visitor since I logged in my Geocities account using this puter. Also, it says "unique hosts" so even it was me, then it wouldn't have counted me more than once a day. Hmm.. odd.. now who could this stalker type character bee 8/

HaH! iNow haVe - and finally btw - my own main site: MoWmania!

( Read more... )

As for the main page, today iChecked it , and the number of hits somehow rose from 20 to 50 overnight! How did that happen?! 8O I can't even find a link to the site from Google using my nicknames as keywords! iGuess I'll check my dot TK site stats.

heHeh yeh (if you got the gist which is highly unlikely 8/) I'm a car driver now (as apposed to an air driver or a driver with no car 8p)! Who's car?

At last, I joyously return to the store - or at least to its known location - in Abu-Dhabi to exchange my DSL router with a cable one - and keep walking when I realize I've walked too much. But huh? Where did that shop go? It used to be here no more than a month ago! Yes... shut down! Why? Because the building was scheduled for demolition!

Well isn't that a kick in the shin and a flip over the floor convenient or what? I finally have time to do the job myself when I find out that the only store that can fix this screw up and exchange the Deranged Screwheaded Line router is shut down ... maybe even permanently!

Well I think I have no choice but to use this router for the rest of its eternity.
