Blood Type Diet, Weight Loss

I have always been fascinated with Blood type. I remembered when I was in secondary school; we used to read blood type characteristics to better understand friends, enemies and myself. To my amusement, it is quite accurate. I just had a chat with a friend from Singapore, a University maid of mine from Australia. She has always been troubled by her weight problem. Drooling over handsome hunks and constant effort trying to tackle them with no results. She told me she had since loose 30kg in 3 months. I was like “WTF? What did u do?” “Blood type diet,” she replied coolly.  I have since bought Blood Type A book for my own consumption, my intention is not to loose weight but to be cautious of not to put on weight and stay healthy knowing what food is good and what food is extremely harmful for my blood type. Can you believe it that Blood Type A's ancestor is vegan? All this while I was quite in tune with my ancestry root as I tried to eat more vegies and less meat. And

Review of Dianna Booher Book | Creating Personal Presence

Read from The Star paper today about Creating Personal Presence by Dianna Booher. It's really interesting. I even downloaded her free 1st chapter. What she said is so true, here is the excerpt: Take Notice of the Tangibles You don’t have to be good-looking, but that perception helps. What’s good-looking? Forget movie-star looks. Here’s what most cultures consider attractive: a symmetrical face, a proportionately sized body, clear skin, healthy hair, and straight teeth.  Physical attractiveness results in a fatter paycheck. Particularly, taller people earn more money than shorter people. For both men and women, a 1-inch increase brings a 1.4–2.9 percent higher paycheck. For men, a 4-inch differential in height amounts to a 9.2 percent increase in earnings. According to Arianne Cohen, in The Tall Book, tall people earn $789 more per inch per year.   See more here  Creating Personal Presence: Look, Talk, Think, and Act Like a Leader 

Free Numerology | Life Path Number | Numerology compatibility | Numerology Name

As a Chinese, I grew up believing that the number “4” is not a very good number, in fact it’s bad luck. In buildings, number 4 will be changed to No. 3A. House number 44 will be changed to 43A. Car number plate of 44 can only be seen carried by other races, not Chinese. The number ‘4’ in Chinese –Cantonese/Mandarin/ Hokkien/Hakka means “ć­»death.” However, all over the world, you can see some minority of wealthy Chinese carried the number 4 in everything - car number plate, house number, office address, phone number so on and so forth. The question is, if it’s death or bad luck for them, how did they accumulate so much wealth? That made me curious. I started researching about the science of numbers. It leads me to numerology . A friend of mine recommended a numerologist (I didn’t know the term then); I had my appointment booked, waiting list of 2 weeks. I was jobless at that time, no income, has plenty of time, very little money and desperate to know my destiny. I was open
