IT IS JUST THE RIGHT CAMERA ANGLE !

boost your self esteem

Method 1: Draw Upside Down
The process is simple: Muddle your verbal mind by copying a picture that you've turned upside down. If that feels intimidating, buy a paint-by-number kit and turn it upside down before completing it. The inversion of shapes will confuse your left hemisphere. You'll begin perceiving nameless colors and shapes. Verbal thinking will slow down, and beauty will emerge from things you've never even noticed. Then chuck the picture—it's the awareness you want.

Method 2: Open Your Focus.
The first time a yoga instructor told me to "soften my eyes," I thought she was insane. Strangely enough, I sort of did it, though I had no idea how. And suddenly, I felt wonderful. Try softening your focus now. After reading this paragraph, look up at whatever's in front of you. Then, without moving your eyes, allow your attention to broaden, taking in everything you see. Slowly expand your attention to include everything you can hear, smell, feel, and taste. As your focus opens, you'll stop thinking in words, become more present, and see beauty everywhere. Fehmi's research showed that if we do it consistently, this practice affects the brain like meditation on steroids. Try it. It works.

Method 3: Feel the Rhythm of Life
The right brain learns kinesthetically, through the movement of the body. Certain ways of moving activate the SEEING of the right hemisphere. The next time you're reeling from a self-esteem wallop, do the last thing logic would advise: dance. If you absolutely won't dance, engage in another activity that requires repetitive, rhythmic action—swimming, drumming, skiing, whirling like a dervish (the reason dervishes whirl is because it pushes them into right-brain awareness). I've felt this transform my perceptions while running, skiing, and learning to track rhinoceroses in the African wilderness. If you don't have a rhinoceros handy, dancing is your best bet.

FIVE-MUST TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF OURSELF

1. The one thing we always drink to: water.

2. Suncreen is the closest thing we have to a fountain of youth. Use at least SPF 15 every day, rain or shine. UV radiation is the major source of skin cancer and accelerated aging of the skin, both of which can occur without tanning or other visible signs of damage.

3. Always treat your hands and neck the way you treat your face.

4. Facials can be expensive, but luminosity is free. The fastest way to better skin tone doesn't cost a dime. Exercising gives you improved circulation and oxygen capacity, which causes the blood vessels in the skin to dilate.

5. Good deeds = good looks. If you do something that makes you feel great about yourself, you're more likely to wear a happy expression.

Redness Relief: Ice Device

If you ever get out of the shower and are pretty red or notice your pores appear large, try this: Soak a washcloth in an ice bath for a few minutes. Take the washcloth out, wring out the excess water and lay the cloth across your face for about 5 minutes. You’ll notice your skin instantly looks much healthier and more refreshed. The cool temperature will also help close down pores and tighten the capillaries that cause redness. I think it is very effective & soothing ^_^

The Road I Walk
The road is totally not straight: There is a curve called failure , a loop called confusion , speed bumps called friends,caution lights called family,and will have flats called jobs .But i know i have a spare called determination, an engine called perseverance,insurance called faith,and a driver called God. I think i can make it to a place i wanted.

Where Magic Comes From?

Once there was a girl who asked her grandmother a very speacial question.'Grandma,is there such a thing as magic?'
'Why,yes,my child.Yes,there is magic,'said the grandmother in surprise.
'Granma,where does magic come from?'Grandmother slowly smiled.Then she grab the little girl and tickled her tummy.Their laughter filled the room and bounced around the house.
'Child,do you know what that sound was?'
'Yes,granny,that was laughter.'
'That,my child, was magic.When you laugh it makes the fairies dance.'
'Really?Then the grandmother smiled lovingly at the little girl.The girl smiled back.
'Do you know what we are doing,child?'
'Yes,we are smilling.'
'It's magic .When we smile,it floats on the air to every one around us.Then they smile tooo.'
Then the little girl was brought outside.They laid down in the grass and stared at the clouds.
Tell me what do you see,child.'
'I see clouds,granma.'
It's magic,child.If you look,you can see anything you want in the clouds.Close your eyes,wish,and then look.You will find your wish up there.'
'Really?'
That night,when the little girl went to bed,the grandmother gave her a good night hug.'Do you know what that was?'
'It's a hug,granny.'
'That was magic,child.When you give someone a hug,you pass on love and protection.'
Then the grandmother pulled the blankets up and tucked the little girl in for the night.
'Now,can you tell me where magic comes from?'

'Yes,granny,''said the little girl with a sleepy yawn.''MAGIC comes from me..''


That's what someone told me today.Isn't that great?

As most people know, there are nine planets in our solar system. They are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. The first four planets, also known as the inner planets, are the most dense planets. The rest, outer planets, are less denser because of their gaseous composition.

The planets seem to be on a circular path around the sun, but they are not. Their path's are described as ellipses. An ellipse can be described as a stretched circle with two center points. The Sun is always at one of the center points in a orbit's path. Since the Sun is at one center (focal) point, when a planet nears that focal point it travels faster. As it goes further away from the Sun, the planet travels slower. The reason for this change in velocity has to due with the Sun's gravitational pull. Now all ellipses are not the same. Some are more curved than others, and some are longer than others. Scientists use eccentricity to describe each planet's orbital path shape. Gravity also has a major role in each planets orbital path. Gravity is what keeps each planet on track and not flying all over the place. However, gravity is a two way street in space. Just as the Sun applies its gravity on all planets in our solar system, each planet applies its own gravity back on the Sun. Since the Sun is so massive, the planets can't move the Sun with their gravity and are forced to move around the Sun.

Since there is so much gravity, what keeps the planets from being pulled into the Sun?. The answer has to deal with a planets speed. All planets in our solar system move around the sun at their own speeds. They each move at different speeds because the Sun's gravity affects each planet at different distances. As mentioned before, when the a planet is closer to the Sun it travels faster than when it is further away. The closer to the Sun the stronger the gravity becomes resulting in more speed an object needs to escape its gravity. However, the planets work in a way that they don't have enough speed to escape the Sun's gravity, but enough not to be pulled in by the Sun's gravity. This state of equilibrium is what keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun.

Is there a possibility that planets will crash into each other? The answer is no. Our solar system was designed to be stable. There are many forces (such as gravity and velocity) that are acting on the planets to keep them stable. The planets move at their own pace and in their own paths. The only two planets that do cross paths are Neptune and Pluto and they have no chance of meeting. Also, if you noticed from above, each planet has a great deal of mass, which requires a great deal of energy to affect it. So far, there is no object with such energy in our solar system other than the Sun. In the end the Earth will not be destroyed by other planets.

THE MAYAN CALENDAR DOES NOT END IN 2012

The date December 21st, 2012 A.D. , represents an extremely close conjunction of the Winter Solstice Sun with the crossing point of the Galactic Equator and the Ecliptic (path of the Sun), what that ancient Maya recognized as the Sacred Tree. This is an event that has been coming to
resonance very slowly over thousands and thousands of years. It will come to resolution at exactly 11:11 am GMT.

the Mayan calendar does not end in 2012 at all, that it is like the odometer on your car, as each section of the odometer reaches 9 and then clicks over to 0, the next number to it starts a new cycle, so that when all the numbers again reach 0 all the way across the odometer - the last number will change from 1 to 2 and the new cycle starts all over again.

On the winter solstice of 2012, the noonday Sun exactly conjuncts
the crossing point of the sun's ecliptic with the galactic plane,
while also closely conjuncting the exact the center of the galaxy.

Did you notice the obvious tilt? It is at a steep angle to the straight line of the horizon.
This is because our solar system appears to belong to another galaxy that is colliding with the Milky Way.

Putting it all together, it implies the 2011-2012 event is a natural cycle of solar maximum bursts which could scorch all or parts of the earth.
The eclipse is the path traveled by the sun, moon, and planets through the sky. Twelve constellations lie along the ecliptic, and the sun passes through all twelve during the course of one year. The ecliptic cross over the Milky Way at a 60 degree angle near the constellation Sagittarius. As such, it forms a cross with the Milky Way, and this cosmic cross was called the Sacred Tree by the ancient Maya. (The cross form was also known as the "crossroads." Amazingly, the center of this cosmic cross, that is right where the ecliptic crosses over the Milky Way is exactly where the December solstice sun will be in A.D. 2012. This alignment occurs only once every 25,800 years.the center of the Maya Sacred Tree, right where the sun will be in 2012!

In the 28 years listed on the page from which the above table was taken, only the one 11:11 universal time is given. The end of the Mayan calendar falls on December 21, 2012. That is the famous "End Date" -

Moon of December 13, 2012, lying in Earth's sky next to the same bright comet. Both objects will lie close to our Sun during its eclipse of the galactic centre on December 21-23 (which is indicated by a Mayan spiral symbol called "Hunab Ku").

In summary, something important may happen one week before the Mayan Long Count calendar ends on December 21-23, 2012. At the very least, we should see a bright comet next to a new Moon. We might even see curved lines or "rays" emerging from the galactic center.

i love anime!!!

Mona Lisa's smile is a mystery. She smiles like a child. It's as if she's teasing or blackmailing some one. It's as if her smile says that "Yeah, I know it. I know the truth. But I won't tell you." It's strange. According to me Mona Lisa was just a imaginary person, who did not exist, ever. Her smile, her eyes are hypnotizing. It can catch anyone's attention and hold you for a long time! She looks evil, jinxed rather.
Leonardo da Vinci have been painted from 1503 to 1506, four years.Seeing that the eyes had that luster and watery sheen which are always seen in life, and around them were all those rosy and pearly tints, as well as the lashes, which can not be represented without the greatest subtlety. The eyebrows, though his having shown the manner in which the hairs spring from the flesh, here more close, there more scanty, and curve according to pores of the skin, could not be more natural. The nose, with its beautiful nostrils, rosy and tender appeared to be alive. The mouth, with its parting, and with its ends united by the red of the lips to the flesh tints of the face, seemed, in truth, to be not colors but flesh. In the pit of the throat, if one gazed upon it intently, could be seen the beating of the pulse. Mona Lisa was very different from other portraits made until that time, because she was painted sitting down and not as a bust or drawn in profile like Italian painters did. The portrait was larger and included more of the sitter’s body. This invention of Leonardo's influenced the development of a completely new way of portrait drawing which was followed by many until the 19th century.

The other important Leonardo's invention that gives the painting its mysterious character is the so-called sfumato technique. It means painting shadows with subtle shade transitions created with fingers that produced a special hazy effect on the painting.

The third important feature of Mona Lisa is the look of the sitter which is directed at the viewer. This 'trick' has already been used by the northern painters when painting portraits and self portraits. One of the fist portraitist, who painted a sitter looking directly at the viewer was Netherlandish painter Jan Van Eyck. In this way a completely different communication with the beholder is made, for he is directly addressed by the 'image'. The viewer is not merely an observer - as he is with other three-quarter and profile portraits of the northern-Renaissance art until Van Eyck - but becomes a part of the story.

The painting was analysed by a University of Amsterdam computer using "emotion recognition" software. It concluded that the subject was 83% happy, 9% disgusted, 6% fearful and 2% angry, New Scientist magazine was told. The computer rated features such as the curvature of the lips and crinkles around the eyes.

This focus picks up shadows from the Mona Lisa's cheekbones, which suggests a curvature of a smile, but when the viewer's eyes then shift to her mouth, the shadows of her mouth elude the viewer. The smile appears present and then gone because of the visual processing. In particular, that of the peripheral area surrounding the fovea, where individuals see black and white, motion and shadows.

Therefore, Mona Lisa's smile is the outcome of one's peripheral vision based on the facial contours.
