Feng shui? As long as you believe in it.. that's all it counts. I'm glad your cold has been better. Take good care of yourself.

yeah, that could be it but who knows...it could be the feng shui also =]

fung shui, hmmmm, I am not saying that they don't exist but ... I really think that it also have something to do with your thinking. You relied on fung shui to be your problem, so when you moved the bed, you feel as if you've "fixed" the problem and therefore your state of mind is more relaxed and that translates to better sleep and less stressful with less on your mind. I don't know, that's just always been my way of thinking.

Oh, Ok. I'll check it out then.

Yes, I know exactly which show you are talking about because I've watched it one nite during chinese new year with my mom. I think that's where she heard about the good and bad feng shui locations for this year.

Yeah, I think a lot of websites are always trying to make some $$$ out of people.

WHAT!? STUDY!? That defeats the whole purpose of the plant then.

It's not really bak gui feng shui. There's a young Chinese lady in it that speaks good English and bad Chinese, and an old Chinese guy from Berkeley with more bling bling around his neck than Mr. T. He must be raking in millions from feng shui seminars. He also provides private consulting, and probably charges thousands of dollars an hour. Most of the guests on the show are bak guis though, and it does look a little bit like a bad infomercial. I think it's still pretty informative though.

They have a Chinese tv show on KTSF Ch. 26 on the weekends I think, and they have segments on that Chiense radio station. I think it's station 1400. Your mom probably knows when they're on.

There's a lot of books and videos out these days on the subject of feng shui. Good websites on the other hand are pretty hard to come by. It seems like all of them are trying to make a dollar off you and don't give you any information unless you pay for it or buy something. I was trying to find one of those feng shui compasses that I could maybe print out before, but all I could find was compasses for sale.

Oh yes, I heard about the plant that intends to help students in school. I don't think the plant works very well but their is something else called the "mun cheung top" which is suppose to help ;P We have one at home and I think it really helped me but over course you still have to study ~_~

Thanks, I'll check out the show when I get a chance. Is it those "bak gui" feng shui? I think I was changing channels and I saw this lady who has her whole backyard fixated with feng shui stuff. I don't know, but somehow I'm not really convinced that they know what they are talking about since this is a chinese art...gotta get it from the direct source ;)

What a coincidence. My mom just put a plant on my desk a couple days ago to improve my Feng Shui, which was intended to help me in school. So I decided to test my new plant by not studying for my test. Unfortunately it didn't work to well. I don't think I did too good on my mid-term. haha. But I did improve my computer gaming skills a bit. At least it's good for something.

Glad to hear your cold is getting better, and you're not getting anymore nightmares. Whatever works. They have this Feng Shui show once in a while on PBS. One of those all day shows where they play it for 40 minutes, and then beg for money for 40 minutes before they show it again. It's pretty interesting though, so I suggest you check it out whenever it comes on.
