If you are into feng shui, one of the terms you are most likely to encounter is the feng shui bagua. What is this? Before I knew anything about Feng Shui, I actually thought the “bagua” is just a decorative item. So when I started researching about Feng Shui, I was surprised to discover that bagua is actually a tool used by those practicing the Chinese art of Feng Shui.
The Feng Shui Bagua is usually paced over a plan of a house or a room. It can indicated colors, materials, and other elements that can be added or removed from some spots around the house or the room. It is also used to recommend improvements intending to strengthen or change the “chi” in a place, especially if the users of the room or the owner of the house needs improvement in some areas of their life.
These improvements can include the addition of shiny objects, mirrors, crystals, light especially candles, colors, heavy objects, wind chimes and plants. The goal of adding these things is to increase the flow of “chi” or energy and harmony in the area of life that needs to see some growth like health, job or career, finances, or marriage.
Placing these symbols is very important aspect of Feng Shui. For example, placing a fortune plant in the career area (which can be indicated by the bagua) can symbolize advancements in business.
Thinking about feng shui, I realized that though it is an ancient Chinese art, some even consider it mystical, it actually manifests common sense. If a home or room has the harmonious, comfortable and inviting vibe to it, these would naturally make the occupants of room feel more comfortable and harmonious. With both the space and the person occupying it having positive thoughts and energy, then positive things would really come out of it.

I have no idea what to do in a casino, I don’t play cards, or do any gambling except maybe bet in the lottery once a year, yet there is something about Las Vegas that draws me. I’m even obsessive about CSI Las Vegas..
Can you imagine how it boggled my mind when I first came here and I discovered that on the average, ISP’s charge around $200-$300 for a plan with “promised” speeds of 3mbps and note that downloads are not unlimited?! And to top that price, they also charge monthly rental fees of equipments, 10% VAT, and a hefty installation price. Geez! To think that when I was in the Philippines I was frequently bemoaning about the internet service, about how lousy it was and how expensive. I had an unlimited – browse all you can-download all you can, with more than 3 mbps connection for less than $25/month, installation and equipment all free.. I should have appreciated it while I can.
Last night, my husband teased my I was growing lines already. I literally shrieked and ran across the room and checked out my face on the mirror. That made him roll with laughter! He probably knows he married a girl who doesn’t know how to put makeup but is nonetheless vain. I spent the next 30 minutes deciding if I should get myself a
