There is a common term here to mean a person lacks the presences of mind. We laugh at our poor friend, "why are you so blur?" to mean this friend does not know what is going on in his or her surrounding, be it a conversation, joke, gravity of a situation or lack of control of own actions.
That's why one of the most important aspect of a cultivated life is to show a presence of mind in everything you come across as that will put yourself in a confident and esteemed self.
Marie Callas espouses clarity of mind when we are dealing with life situations. For example, do not spout unintentional rubbish or rumours from your mouth as that may aggravate a situation or harm someone's reputation. Before answering, think how will your answer affect the outcome. Smart man can answer fast and wise!
Being sensitive to what others feel, widening your perspective will not only help you get through whatever that hinder your happiness, it also helps people to understand their own anomalies, too. I hope you get my point. It won't be easy, but please do your best. :)

Eclectic Tastes
I have always love music. Music is energy to me since I turned 15. It enriches my life when there was no handphones or internet. Radio and cassettes were the primary source of entertainment when I was young and they helped me to get through some toughest moment years back.
Through the year, my tastes have turned eclectic, from bassa nova to jazz/classic, and new age / psychic music. A bit of ethnic music completes the package.
My taste is very eclectic. I like everything from jazz to classical to disco and funk.
I love sharing music with daughters as well. Especially with my youngest girl. I am extremely happy that she likes nearly all of the music I like, so long road trips to Penang are always enjoyable as she will dance in the car. She really likes my disco, which is great because uptempo music helps to keep me alert.
Occasionally, I will dabble a bit into new age meditative music to soothe my restless mind before I sleep. It really builds up some mood in a lovely evening...

Do you have a vision?
It is a common scenario. You are in a situation which you don't enjoy and uncomfortable but it is a necessity you show your face there, all due to pressure from some external person, thing or circumstance? You feel like a victim of the forces acting you on.
In the end, taking responsibility for what seems to come to you then becomes not only necessary to your thinking, but a task that can and will change your life.
The reward for taking responsibility for your feelings and emotions, what you see, and what you think is well worth the effort. This is the key to your Powerful Mind.
You are the creator and the created all at once. The Love of the Universal Mind or Higher Power is in you as you.Do you have a clear understanding of your purpose in life?

What we think can affect our future
Marie Callas offers me a way to become even more prosperous in my life. In her letter to me, she says the life we live actually comes from our imagination - our thoughts, our visions and our beliefs.
Things that we say and do in whole life do turn out to be true in the end in physical form. She says we are the creator of our own reality and we are solely responsible for everything that is showing up in our lives.
Think about it more deeply.
For example I have buddies who are always complaining about life, such as high cost of living, inflation, food getting more expensive and bad economy...Yes, those few friends clearly experience a scarcity and lack of prosperity in them.
Another example is lonely singles at marriageable age lament that the good ones are taken, and the remaining could be the rotten apples. Exactly, that person's love life could be empty and full of unhappy incidents in the past.
Marie Callas reminds that there's good news though.
Just as we created our current circumstances with our past thoughts, we can also create our future life experiences with what we choose to think, say and do right now!

In Eyes of the Beholder
All of us are very unique and that is exactly how the Creator designed each and every to be.
There is a common saying "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder", each of us has an idea of how pretty someone or something appears physically. Comparatively, this could mean you may think Megan Fox looks stunning but another person may find her ordinary (yes, I have a friend who thinks she's ugly!). In the end, it just does not really matter as everything is entitled to own opinion.
We are sometimes weakened by people's opinion of how we look. The question to asked ourselves first is "Do I love myself?", the answer should be YES but if it is not,we have to deal with that. Then we need to sift out the right opinions from the nonsense. Taking only the constructive ones and trash the destructive ones because it will do us no good. We do not need to look like someone else in order to be happy good looking. Even the prettiest model can have inferiority complex.
Nevertheless, I believe in being healthy(taking care of our body) and dressing right. So if you work out because you want to stay fit, by all means, go for it.

Movie Time - GI Joe
Last Sunday I brought my family to watch the GI Joe movie. It was certainly an action packed right from the beginning to the moment right till the end. Since young, I had always like these cartoon series, and happy that they have finally adapted it into a featured movie.
As usual, you won't be disappointed by the CGI and action sequence. But somehow, it has a sense of deja vu for some scenes, sort of like seeing those somewhere in other movies, but i just can't remember which one. The most magnificent is of course the one in which the Eiffel Tower was destroyed. Awesome! Yeah, the invisible cloak was like taken from Harry Potter and some were like Transformer 2.
In the end though, all of us thoroughly enjoyed the time. It's just a quality family time and outing. It has been sometime since we have a movie together.

Crystal Healing
This is an interesting article:
People used crystals for centuries for healing and magical rituals. Their very appearance is mystifying so it's no wonder that the Western world latched onto the use of crystals as an alternative medical treatment.
The belief that the crystal is a tool that magnifies and isolates the energy of the universe to heal specific areas of the body has long been a tool for ancient healers. The colour of the stone used depends on the part of the body they attempt to heal.
The "prana" from India and "chi" of Chinese medicine both are life forces that circulate through the body. The chakra is the energy whorls located at various spots where the prana exists. In Chinese medicine, the chi follows a meridian and circulates. The use of crystals, in both cases, is to either enhance the energy or unblock it at specific points.
Sometimes the person receiving the healing energies lies as the person versed in crystal healing places the stones on the various charkas.
Crystals are part of the civilized world's economy. When you turn on your computer, crystals bring the communication of the world to your desktop. While no one knows whether crystals do the same for the body, it's one possibility that many people believe and use as an alternate method of healing on a daily basis.
