The law of attraction

2008-04-16T12:19:00.002+08:00

See....there's no specific reference or scientific proof that the Law of Attraction really works or not. Sometimes I wonder why people call it a law when there is no solid foundation on how this law is based upon. For instance, when people mention Newton's Laws, it makes sense. What goes up must come down. Logically, gravity or momentum is the foundation for the law to work. Like how do you

After much feedback from fellow members behind the "scenes", this trip will be cancelled entirely due to these factors: 1. Cost - Almost 500 bucks on air tickets alone? Well, one could have done much more with that 500 bucks in Malaysia itself. For example, indulging in a all-day-long Sushi Buffet in Saisaki, KL, which could only come up to 50 Ringgit max. 2. Time - Everyone's busy. No one's

It doesn't matter whether I attend mass or not as long as I have a personal relationship with God. I can say my prayers at home. Going to mass is like listening to the same old boring songs, same old boring sermons and archaic rituals

Why run Forest? Why?

2006-05-16T13:03:00.000+08:00

When you envision running, you probably will fall into one of two categories. Either you love it or you hate it; sometimes it is even a love/hate relationship. But what makes people love it? And what makes people who hate it keep doing it? It is likely that the benefits of running outweigh the hatred (if there is any hatred). There are as many benefits of running as there are reasons that runners
