Mini-Skirts Could Become Illegal in South Korea
In the 1970s, the dictatorship controlling South Korea stipulated the length of women’s skirts. Now, due to a new law, some in South Korea worry that those days are returning.Last year, a law was passed in South Korea regarding, among other things, indecent exposure. Today, it goes into effect. According to website Korea Bang, the law states, “Those who show their bare skin excessively in a public place or expose parts of the body that should remain covered, thus making others feel embarrassment or discomfort, are guilty of indecent exposure.”The Korean newspaper Hankyoreh is arguing that this new law, passed under the previous president’s administration, will enable authorities to go back to the strict social codes of the past. During the 1970s, for example, the length of men’s hair was also regulated by the government. Those with long hair were sometimes given forced haircuts on the street!This year, South Korea elected its first female president, Park Geun-hye. It was her father,Park Chung-hee, who seized power in a coup in 1963, declared martial law, and served as president for life until he was assassinated in 1979. This is perhaps why left-leaning publications like Hankyoreh are worried about how this new law will be interpreted.Those deemed guilty of indecent exposure will be fined 50,000 won. Police say, however, that the goal is not to target mini-skirts. Critics worry that the law’s ambiguous wording will lead to equally ambiguous complaints and fines.One thing is certain: If this is enforced, South Korea’s popstars (Girls’ Generation, above), famous for their short skirts, are going to need new outfits!There’s more in the link below about how this legislation also makes things like begging a fine, along with declining to help a government employee during a disaster, crime, accident, or whatnot without enough reason for refusal. -
Thought for Days
Pure and Gentle
Success is merged in every step of those who have a pure and gentle nature.Diamond Consciousness
When you look at the world through your physical eyes, you will see all the facets of our diversity: culture, race, personality, religion and so on. Seeing only through your physical eyes, it is easy to become stubborn and to try to prove yourself right. However where there is stubbornness there is no love. And trying to prove the self right is equally offensive. A diamond will sparkle even in the dust; you do not ever need to prove that you are right. In the face of the dangers that come from seeing only with the physical eyes, always think: now is the time to go beyond all divisions, beyond all that limits us and our sense of self. Whatever the race, the religion, the class – our consciousness now has to go beyond all of that.Being Comes Before Doing
We spend most of our life running after things, doing things. We forget that being comes before doing. Those who remember this secret make an effort to “be” and discover that when they stop and observe, life helps and brings whatever is needed. Learning to be is learning to be at peace. It is our most fundamental nature.Self-Respect
Experience the bliss of Self-Respect and give respect to others at all times. When I am prejudiced against another, my narrow vision and small heart lower my self-dignity and self-worth.Courage
Courage is taking a step forward into an area of difficulty without a solution in mind, trusting that whatever help you need will become available.Notice the Difference
Replace the words “I have to” with “I choose to” and notice the difference in how you feel.Readiness
Worrying about how everything will get done or whether i am capable of doing it limits my ability to respond to challenges considerably. The less I think about doing something, the faster I just get on with it, the fewer problems I cause myself. Good planning is always helpful, but time spent fretting and just procrastinating is a major drain on my energy. The more willing I am to respond positively to opportunities the more my capacity will grow.Vibrations
With your own vibrations of peace and happiness, give everyone else the experience of happiness and comfort.Choices
Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It’s your choice how you live life.Lotus Life
The lotus is a symbol of purity. Its roots are in the mud, but the flower remains above dirty water. Live a lotus life. Be in the world, but unaffected by impurities.The Happiness You Give
The happiness you give makes you more happy than the happiness you receive.Manage Emotions
When the energy of our consciousness is out of our control – the mind is agitated. We are being emotional. The solution is to detach from the inner storms, stand back and observe the hurricane pass. Detached observation withdraws the energy which your emotions require to sustain themselves. When you watch your own anger, it dies. If you don’t detach from it, and observe it …it will be your master.Honest Heart
An honest heart is an open heart. If we are dishonest in any way with ourselves or with others, it means we are in hiding. There is a wall, a barrier behind which we conceal something of ourselves. Subtle tension will be our companion, and while most of us learn to live with it, it drains our energy and tightens our muscles. On the other hand don’t be too honest with others – feel their pulse – sometimes others are not ready to hear what’s in your heart. But know that when you are honest you will experience a level of inner relaxation that you had forgotten was even possible.Learn To Create Love
If I limit the love I give to just one or two, it will eventually go stale. If I learn to create love inside my heart and silently give it to everyone I meet, love will grace every corner of my life.Power of Silence
In order to remain constantly happy transform bad things into something good with the power of silence.Flow Of Life
When I generate kind and optimistic thoughts, my life begins to flow.Members of a Great Family
Values are related to each other as if they were members of a great family . From peace and happiness emerges inner joy. From this state of wholeness love awakens and with is the desire to share and give . Two of its relatives are tolerance and respect. All values have a shared origin which unites them – the peace of spirituality. When you lose peace you begin to lose everything.
Creating a Peaceful Character
To be peaceful you have to see yourself as a peaceful being. It means to think about being peaceful. It means that you have to be able to be able to describe it in words. You must be capable of experiencing the feelings you would have if you reached that peaceful state. Now believe in it. If you feel it, it’s real. Simply work on it and keep it uppermost in your mind. Make it yours and it will become your natural behaviour.Compassion
A compassionate person develops an eye for spotting the qualities that make each person special. Even when others are at their lowest ebb, it is possible to help them restore their self-belief by keeping a firm, clear vision of their goodness and specialities. Taking a gently encouraging approach, I must never give up on anyone.A Moment Of Solitude
When I start the day with a moment of solitude and contemplation, even the most crowded schedule runs more smoothly.Work Well
Work is only work if you prefer to be somewhere else. Work tends to be a negative perception of a task which we reluctantly approach. Work is only labour when we forget to see our life as it truly is – an opportunity to be creative, enrich others and be enriched ourselves. When we are able to see work in this way, we find something called enthusiasm inside. When we are enthusiastic we work well and we are valued. We are used as a role model. When we work well it is much easier to say no when we need to, for we know our own value, and we are not dependent on others’ approval to feel good about ourselves. When we put love and enthusiasm into what we do, it rebounds in the form of opportunities and blessings, two of the most important ingredients of a truly wealthy life.Mind Matters
The most important part of you is your mind (not your brain – the brain is the hardware and the mind creates the software). Care for your mind, make friends with it, always feed it healthy food, engage it in positive activity, exercise it with knowledge and wisdom. Like a garden returns fragrance and beauty according to the care invested, so your mind will repay you with thoughts, ideas and visions of great beauty when tended and invested with care. Your mind is not made of matter but it does matter what you give it and what you create with it. Where your mind goes, you go. What your mind creates becomes your destiny.Spirituality versus Science
Science can tell why a rose is red, but not why it is beautiful. Beauty belongs to the realm of spirituality.Vibrations
With your own vibrations of peace and happiness, give everyone else the experience of happiness and comfort.Power To Tolerate
You have the power to tolerate anyone and any situation. But tolerance is not just suffering in silence. It means going beyond any personal discomfort you may feel, and giving a gift to whom so ever you would tolerate. Give your time, attention, understanding, compassion, care – all are gifts, which paradoxically, you also receive in the process of giving. And, as you do, you will experience your own self-esteem and inner strength grow. In this way you can turn tolerance into strength.The Best Language For Communication
Silence is the best language for communication. It helps us understand and realise the eternal truths about the self, God and the world. In silence we are able to comprehend and express sincerely and powerfully the true values of the soul such as peace, love and joy. Silence is not the absence of thoughts but it is a state in which the mind is engaged in pure elevated thoughts that nuture these values within. The power of silence develops all mental and spiritual powers that are needed to tackle various situations successfully.Resource Full
We each have the three energies we need to learn to manage – spirit, mind and body. All three need a good diet – body needs pure food (vegetarian), your mind needs positive ideas and images, and the spirit that you are needs time in silence and stillness to refresh and renew. These are our resources, and each one needs topping up, otherwise we run on empty and dis – ease comes to visit. But diet is just the beginning. Coming soon… exercise!.Family & Friends
It’s often said that charity begins at home. So let me first give respect to my family and friends.
Words Colour Our Behaviour.
Words! They are all around me! I see them. I use them. Harsh words, soothing words, biting words; words that give pain and sorrow; words that give joy and pleasure. They are vital to communication. When words are spoken there are reactions, negative or positive. Either thoughts are triggered or emotions fired or actions performed. Words colour our behaviour. And how lovely it is to hear words that are calm and free from rancour and aggression. To hear words that lift the soul and leave it with renewed vigour. Such words come from always seeing the best in people and situations.Busy People
We live in the age of ‘busy’. Busy people not only do a lot, they think a lot. Being lost in thought, is not only tiring and a brilliant way of waste energy, it’s as if we have forgotten the very ground of our being which is still and silent. Learn to meditate and turn the eye of your attention and awareness within, let your mind be quiet and allow your being to be still.All Will Be Well
Amidst the earthquakes of unexpected situations, the hurricanes of unreasonable behaviour, when fortune strikes against me, I will remain unmoved, knowing that finally all will be well.Exploring Silence
Human beings often think about things that don’t concern them and about other people. When you think a lot you will use the word ‘why’. To become silent means to emerge wisdom from within. To move into dead silence means to go beyond the consciousness of the physical body. This is a very wonderful experience for the soul, it empowers and refreshes the soul.Comparison with Others
Comparing yourself with others will leave you vulnerable on three counts: you’ll either feel inferior, superior or impressed. All three of these states are dangerous because they all disregard the underlying principle of our true connection with each other – mutual love and regard, based on independently generated self-esteem. To protect yourself from this vulnerability, make sure that your attention remains turned within, towards the spiritual experience of pure pride. Staying centred in your elevated self-respect will help you remain undisturbed by others around you. Keep asking yourself, “Who am I?” “How would my spiritual personality respond to this event or person?” this will help to centre you further, and allow you to enjoy the successful efforts of others.Happiness
Happiness is not a destination, it’s a journey. Happiness is not tomorrow, it is now. Happiness is not a dependency, it is a decision. Happiness is what you are, not what you have.Coolness
Maintaining a state of inner calmness protects me from becoming a slave to my emotions. It also helps me to keep a cool head when I see others becoming heated or angry. Coolness is not to be distant or uncaring; rather it requires that I develop the deeply caring nature of a peacemaker and serve others in the best possible way.Being Kind
Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.Truth and Good Manners
The sign of truth is having good manners. If you have the power of truth, you should never leave your good manners behind. You may prove the truth, but do it with good manners. The sign of good manners is humility and the sign of a lack of good manners is being stubborn. When your words and activity are based on good manners, you will receive success.Think Eternity
Life experiences are like sentences – we are always looking for the full stop, the conclusion. It’s OK to end a train of thought, but not thought itself. Thoughts are like the magic carpet, on which the soul rides across eternity – in reality, there are no endings, no conclusions. Rest for the spirit (which is what we are) is when we allow only the current of the purest thoughts to flow through our mind – thoughts which carry good wishes and blessings for ourselves and others. This is not so much going with the flow, as being in the flow, and refreshed by the flow. For when we have powerful, positive thoughts for and about others, who experiences them first?Wisdom
The essence of wisdom is using what we know and confessing to what we do not know.Heart Song
Everyone has a song in their heart. Everyone has a reason for being here and a season for making their highest, greatest most auspicious contribution. No one knows what that is or when that is for anyone else. Only our own heart knows what and when it is for us. Your heart wants to sing. Don’t die with your music still within you. There is a reason for everything and a purpose to your life. Too many fail to listen to the song in their heart and therefore fail to find their purpose and their part. What makes your soul sing and your heart dance? Actually you heart is your soul and you are both! Ask this one question of yourself but don’t be in a hurry to answer it. Live in the question for a day, a week, a month. Let it invite your heart to speak to you. And when you are absolutely sure what your heart is saying is true then begin to invoke the changes necessary in your life so that you live in alignment with your song. Be patient with this.Sweetness
Sweetness is the mastery of the senses. Eyes that see to the back of things, ears that hear to the heart of things, lips that speak only the essence of things. Sweetness is the result of a long journey inward to the core of life and the ability to rest there and watch.Create Continuously
Every day is an opportunity to be creative – the canvas is your mind, the brushes and colours are your thoughts and feelings, the panorama is your story, the complete picture is a work of art called, ‘my life’. Be careful what you put on the canvas of your mind today – it matters.Soul’s Original Qualities
To be controlled by anger is to repress the soul’s original qualities of tolerance and love.Gentleness
If trees had souls, the quality most attributable to them would be gentleness. Gentleness is not a lack of strength but a quality which doesn’t disturb, doesn’t push, yet knows its power and can provide shelter. There are souls who are like tress, enormous in their thinking and yet completely gentle.Greater Success in Cooperation
If you think you can do something alone, either because you don’t trust others to do it or because you feel you are the most qualified…
* you will always be busy doing everything,
* you will be unhappy with others because they are not doing what you want,
* you will be dissatisfied.
It is more effective to invest your time in training and developing others. There is greater success in cooperationGreatly Prosperous
To be ignorant of the knowledge of limited desires is to become greatly prosperous.Summer’s End
Summer – it’s a time of abundance, to enjoy the summer sun, flowers and fruits … but, summer, like everything else, doesn’t last forever. If summer was forever, all the energy and potential would reach its limits and inertia would set in. And so slowly but surely, the cycle turns; everything moves on. Everything has its own time; its own season. Remember, the end of something good, means the start of something also good. All you have to do is be connected and in tune with the natural flow of nature’s energies. -

Chewing Gum is good for the Brain, can boost alertness by 10%
It’s a habit that divides opinion, but new scientific evidence reveals that chewing gum is actually good for the brain.
Chomping away boosts thinking and alertness and the study reveals reaction times among chewers are up to 10 per cent faster.
The Japanese research suggests as many as eight areas of the brain are affected by the simple act of chewing.
One theory to explain the greater performance is that chewing increases arousal and leads to temporary improvements in blood flow to the brain.
Volunteers carried out tasks while chewing and not chewing gum as their brains were scanned to see which areas were active.
During the 30-minute tests participants pressed a button with their right or left thumb in response to the direction of an arrow on a screen.
Men and women who were not chewing took 545 milliseconds to react, compared with 493 milliseconds among the chewers. The brain regions most active during chewing were those involved with movement and attention.
Professor Andy Smith of Cardiff University, a leading specialist in health-related behaviour, said: ‘The effects of chewing on reaction time are profound. Perhaps football managers arrived at the idea of chewing gum by accident, but they seem to be on the right track.’
‘Our results suggest that chewing induced an increase in the arousal level and alertness in addition to an effect on motor control and, as a consequence, these effects could lead to improvements in cognitive performance,’ said the researchers from the National Institute of Radiological Sciences in Japan, and other centres.
However, research carried out last year suggested chewing gum could interfere with short-term memory.

Common Relationship Problems
Something interesting i’ve stumbled upon as below:-
The biggest relationship mistake i see young men make is thinking that “women are this way” from all the stupid “forever alone”, “hey aren’t girls crazy, and “hey listen to this story about my crazy girlfriend” stories that float around.
Here’s the straight scoop. There is a woman who will love playing video games with you. There is a woman who loves sports. Hell there is a woman who loves polka if that’s what you’re into. Don’t get stuck in the trap of believing “what girls are like” and accepting someone who doesn’t mesh with you based on this foolish common “knowledge”.
If you don’t want to be forced to watch sex and the city, find a woman who’s not interested in sex and the city, or one who is but who respects that you aren’t. Don’t want to go shopping? Tell your woman or find one who doesn’t want to drag you along.
Many of the problems i hear guys complaining about could be easily fixed by finding someone who actually shares their interested instead of the first hot body that catches their eye, or by putting their foot down at the beginning of the relationship. Don’t pretend you like things you don’t, don’t go out of your way to pretend you’re someone you’re not, just be you and find someone who enjoys what you do.
I think this is the secret to happiness in relationships.——————————————————————————————
The biggest relationship mistake I see young women make is thinking that “men will become the way I want” from all the stupid romantic comedies and TV dramas that float around.Here’s the straight scoop. There is a man who will fulfill your dreams. If the guy you’re with isn’t that man at this moment, then he will never be. Stop stringing him along and holding him to your standards. Even if he starts doing the things you want him to, he will resent you for only appreciating how you define him, not how he defines himself. And you will be unsatisfied that he caved and made the changes to keep you, rather than because he’s a self-respecting, confident man who knows who he is.
Many of the problems I hear girls complaining about could be easily fixed by finding someone who actually does the things that she wants him to do, rather than pretending that her guy will do them some day… eventually. Stop trying to mold your man into something he’s not. If you can’t appreciate him the way he is break up with him. Do the both of you a favor and stop wasting his time. Then focus on finding someone who already fits the mold.
In essence, respect yourself for who you are, and respect the one you’re with for who she/he is.
I think this is the secret to happiness in relationships.
i loledGuys are generally driven by logic and thus try to “fix” any problems in a logical manner. We are all emotion driven creatures. Yes men too. But trying to tackle something illogical as love in a logical manner usually results in undesirable results.
An example of this is when say your SO is having a bad day. She tells you about how her friend is backstabbing her or her parents are being unfair. A guy would take the “if you don’t want to get wet, don’t go out in the rain” approach. Meaning guys would say something like, “Well don’t hang out with that friend anymore, or your parents are right not being unfair”. Whether or not it’s the truth is irrelevant. Girls don’t tell you about their problems because they want solutions, but rather a person that will listen to them and take their side. This is something that took me a long time to get. You can discuss after the emotions have cooled down (days after) to say something like, “You don’t need friends like that” or “maybe your parents had a good point”. But when they tell you something, just be a good listener and take their side. Don’t try to “fix” it. Just listen.
It’s been said many times here, but communication is the key. Never assume anything. Don’t try to read between the lines, because often, those are made up in your head. Every time I assume something, I remember this: Assuming makes an ASS out of U and ME. I know in my 9 year relationship, we both could have saved a lot of heartache and strife if we just communicated better.

Project #42km
This year i’ve finally manage to took a feat which I always dreamed off, taking a full marathon event.
What is a full marathon ? its 42.195kilometer run which usually takes 6 hours or lesser to complete it. Thats like the distance from my house to Kuala Lumpur by foot.
Well today is my 3rd day of training. The sad part ever since I’ve enrolled to this event, my mom and girlfriend was very unsupportive. Seriously? from the two most person I love in this world and yet they pull me down straight away from my capability. How disspointing.
Yet to the few which was on my facebook page they been quite supportive and gave me motivation to persue this event 🙂 god bless you guys and many thanks.
my 1st day of training was a short 7km run around my neighbouring field.
and yesterday was my 2nd day with an extra 1.5km to my previous run. Seriously it wasn’t easy, the after effects from the 1st day soreness really demotivated me in doing my 2nd day run.
However with a do or die perception, i manage to pull myself together by god’s grace and ran my 8.5km last night. Regretting slightly on getting a US size 10 jogging shoe, my right side of foot had slight blistering due to the tightness of the shoe.
well i guess today will be another day for me to challenge myself for more mileage, but at least 5km would do due to my total soreness from both of my legs. Manage to swap my running shoe for a US size 11 so I hope i dont get blisters today.
Consider this jogging session is a really marvelous time for me spending time with god on my mind and having devotional time with him.
will keep you guys update on my running sessions stay tune 😀 #42km
