CONSTITUTION & DIET

Once there was a young wife who tried to send her very wealthy but much older husband to an early grave so that she could marry her lover. This pretty, young woman was a wonderful cook and she was especially good at making fried rice- which her husband, Mr. Yang, loved. Therefore, he frequently ate fried rice. The wife ensured his diet was high in ‘yang’ foods. There were a lot of fried food and meat, nourishing herbal meat soups as wel

In my previous blog I have described a bit about Yin and Yang, but I’m sure that doesn’t explain much to make it more understandable. It is not very easy to define them in a quite accurate way, but I guess for the purpose of self therapy I can say that Yin is related to Weakness and Yang is to Strength. The table below may help you better grasp what Yin and Yang are.

Hello Everyone!

I think, this time is new year holiday in most of countries over the world. But I'm doing work in office now because my country will take 14 days off for Lunar new year (from Jan. 18, 2012 untill Feb. 01, 2012).

Do you know what I am doing at the first day of new year? Besides the daily work, I've to write a self assessment about my job in 2011 as our manager required. In additional, I have to set up short-term and long-term goals on what to achieve in the next twelve months, nex

I just returned this week from a trip to America.  My wife and I went there to see our daughter graduate from university.  This is a photo of her about the time she started going to the university.

I also went home to see my family and friends.  I will tell about that part of the trip later.

I started my trip in Jeddah, KSA. 

From there, my wife and I flew to New York City. 

We got to see two of my wife's sisters while we were waiting all day for our plane to Texas. Here is my wife and her sisters

Hello Everyone,

How to improve my English? this question always in my mind & I've asked myself more than thousand times. For me, four skills of English are too difficult. I'm always searching & learning about this in many sites & you know what, the more I'm reading, the more I'm hurry up to push myself achieve fluently at English, the more I'm hurry up, the more I learn, the more I learn, the more I forget after that...poor me...

Even I came to know this page & joined MyEC more than a month, but I

As usual I didn't do anything for the New Year.. Almost. I didn't even watch the special tv. programs. There isn't anything to watch anyways. I already know what they show at New Years eve. It's "Dinner For One" lol

I've heard in germany they show this in each new yeareve already 40 years. Seems they copied germans here too, because they have shown it now also here at least 15 years or maybe 20.. :P

For Xmas they traditionally show "Home Alone" By The Way.

Anyways, I still saw the firework. I say s

Hi to all EC members...

Usually around this time is when everyone starts making plans and promises for a change in the New Year. We all experience something new every day and as a result of those experiences we’re changing willingly or unwillingly. With this basic thought, I focus on the very last hours of 365 days for the change. How do I do that? Well… I have a superstition. I believe that how you enter the New Year, your all year mostly continues doing that. For instance, if you enter the New

I have just changed my profile photo (avatar) - this is the first time I've ever changed it!

I bet you are already familiar with my old avatar, and some of the members here (like anele) may not really want me to change it. I don't think it's a good idea to change one's profile photo frequently, but it's quite acceptable to change it from time to time. Actually, some of the members have suggested I change it. I never changed the photo because I think it may make it hard for other members to easily

Dear Friends,   Some are born to shine, some to reflect the light and some to blossom from the glow, yet none shall be complete without the other. That is where the story of our friendship comes from be it in personal of professional life.   In the coming New Year write on your heart that every day is the best day in the year and get the glowing and growing energy from it.   Let's share as many smiles as we can and no doubt we will earn bundles of happiness.   Healthy happy harmonious 2012!!

"This morning of the last day of the year, I suddenly feel like writing a blog. But actually, I thought writing days before today, I just couldn't know what to write about. It keeps nagging in my head that I have already forgotten my first love in EC - writing a blog. Then, suddenly after reading Robbie's blog (thanks to you,Rob!), it inspires me to jot down a list of my most favorite practices in 2011."

It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love-
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a
