Do you like Andrea Bocelli?

Do you watch American Idol?

I do both and can’t wait to see how Bocelli will work with these future idols. I loved it when they worked with Barry Manilow and Rod Stewart. Both seemed very inspiring.

There’s something about Barry. I always like him. He has some kind of an inner charm. He’s both my mom’s idol and mine.

I think everybody should have an idol, at least one. Many might even be greater. Why?

Because it will give you strength. Seeing them successful in their life makes you also wanna be as successful. So, you get motivation on achieving your goals.

I had never ever been having an idea of being a singer, like Barry, but his success had made me wanna be doing well in my own field.

So, I think, if you haven’t been getting what you desire, try to look back. Do you have an idol? Do you have a role model? Maybe that’s what you need!

Today I visited my friend who fell and hurt her ankle. She seemed better. Glad to see her smile again.

Her smile was even wider when she saw a white rose hand bouquet that I brought her.

I believe that flowers are good to bring when you visit a sick person. Flowers give such a huge streght and energy that the one you visit will feel a lot better.

So, planning to visit a sick neighbor, friend, family? Don’t forget to pick some flowers from your garden or buy a nice bouquet!

Feeling uncomfortable about yourself is inevitable. Somehow, it just makes you gloomier and see life in a sad and bad way.

How to avoid that feeling?

It’s easy, just love yourself no matter what. Here are what I do whenever I start feeling uneasy about myself:

• I ask my pals about what they like about me
• I make a list of what I like about myself
• I do comforting things for myself
• I recognize critical message I hear inside my head
• I counteract negative or critical thoughts about myself, and
• I enjoy life even more!

These days, in Japan, people are bombarded by books and videos on how to cry and on crying therapy.

It was triggered by the popularity of Korean movies in that country. These movies are so emotional that make those who watch shed a tear.

According to a famous Japanese saying, “tears are the sweat of the heart”. It may contain a scientific truth. Like sweat, tears seem to serve the function of ridding the body of waste substances. So it is no wonder that people often feel refreshed after a good cry.

According to some research, tears produced from emotions are different from those produced from such things as onions or eye irritations. The emotional tears can reduce your stress levels.

So, are you now having a problem? Why don’t you take some time to cry?
