why worry?

worry is the darkroom in which negatives can develop

so why worry?

“Do not worry about your life, of what you’ll eat or drink, nor on your body… of what you’ll wear.  Isn’t life more important than food & drinks, and your body than clothes?
Look at the birds, they don’t work for a living yet GOD feeds them, are you not much more valuable to HIM than those?
who by worrying can add a single hour to his life.” /Mat.6:25-27/

Memoirs of a Geisha

She paints her face to hide her face. Her eyes are deep water. It is not for Geisha to want. It is not for geisha to feel. Geisha is an artist of the floating world. She dances, she sings. She entertains you, whatever you want. The rest is shadows, the rest is secret.

You cannot say to the sun, “More sun.” Or to the rain, “Less rain.” To a man, geisha can only be half a wife. We are the wives of nightfall. And yet, to learn kindness after so much unkindness, to understand that a little girl with more courage than she knew, would find her prayers were answered, can that not be called happiness? After all these are not the memoirs of an empress, nor of a queen. These are memoirs of another kind.

after watching the movie, those lines remained inside of me, i just don’t know why. Maybe because I was touched how she lived her life, how she transcend her fishing-village roots and became one of Japan’s most celebrated geisha, and how she finds her happiness.

Your Stomach Secretes Corrosive Acid

There’s one dangerous liquid no airport security can confiscate from you: It’s in your gut. Your stomach cells secrete hydrochloric acid, a corrosive compound used to treat metals in the industrial world. It can pickle steel, but mucous lining the stomach wall keeps this poisonous liquid safely in the digestive system, breaking down lunch.

The World Laughs with You

Just as watching someone yawn can induce the behavior in yourself, recent evidence suggests that laughter is a social cue for mimicry. Hearing a laugh actually stimulates the brain region associated with facial movements. Mimicry plays an important role in social interaction. Cues like sneezing, laughing, crying and yawning may be ways of creating strong social bonds within a group.
