Do you have a good luck charm?

About 2 years ago, my husband and I purchased good luck charms online. According to the website, the pendant tops we purchased ( made of fake gold ) were cleansed by a professional psychic master.

Before we got it, we had a car stolen and we were very upset because of it. We thought maybe the good luck charm can protect us.

When we received the pendants, we were very excited because we thought the pendants are not normal pendant because they were endowed with power by a psychic master.

Soon we both tried them, my husband went to his work as usual, and I went shopping to a supermarket.

On that day, the sales clerk behavior to me was not friendly, and I felt bad.

While I was wearing the pendant,I felt nervous and getting irritated. I tried to calm down. but it was difficult to stop it.

When my husband got home, he looked tired and I asked him, how was your day today? He said he had a bad day. Trouble with his customers and also with his manager.

It was really weird, but we continued wearing the pendant, and it was getting worse and worse, we had more troubles and both were irritated all the time.

We didn't know why?

But it is true.

So we decided to stop wearing the pendant and returned them to the online store. After we returned the pendant, we felt good and were not irritated anymore.

The online store customer support was nice, they gave us the refund as promised on the website.

What we learned from it was that all things have energy and we should not have someone else put any energy into the items.

I guess that online store might often get returned items and the pendant we purchased were used by some other of their customers who had negative energy.

Or the psychic master also might have negative energy when she cast the spell into the pendants.

Later I learned about all the things we experience are not accident and everything we experience has a reason and it came from our past imagination and thinking.

It may be true, but it may not be true.

However, we are human and it is difficult to keep our feelings good all the time.

Energy is really mystery because

actually, even clothes, whenever I wore my black shirt, I had a bad day, on the other hand, whenever I wore my dark blue blouse, I always had a great day and I could pass all the job interviews every time.

I noticed about it a long time ago. I am a Japanese. In Japan, everyone has charms or amulets for our protection.

Many Japanese people go to temples (buddha)or shrines(shinto) every new year days, to make our wishes and purchase good luck amulets (Omamori) or "go-fu" to have peaceful life during the year.

These amulets are believed to work for only one year and a year later we need to bring them back to the temples or shrines and we purchase new amulets for the new year again. It's Japanese traditional habit. There are many kind of amulets in Japan. I was helped in my life by "go-fu" many times.

"Go-fu" (also called "O-fuda" )is usually made of Japanese special rice paper ( wa-shi ) or wood board with special secret words in it.

Japanese long distance runner Muzuki Noguchi who got gold medal in the last Greece Olympic, was also wearing the good luck amulet (Omamori) while she was running.

I was very amazed, how can such a small Japanese woman run faster than an African woman who has much longer legs for 2 hours, beside in such a hot day? Muzuki was saying, she was only thinking about to have gold medal, not silver or bronze. and never thought she could fail.

Strong belief! I understand that's the point!

In China, Jade is considered to bring good luck. There are many good luck symbols in China, too.

Chinese dragon symbolizes success and power. It's yang energy and when we place dragon image ( dragon figurines or pictures ) in our house they will bring power into our house.

If you have ever seen Chinese movies such as Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan .. you might already notice that there are temple lions ( called foo dogs) in the entrance, also dragons, vases, calligraphy with good luck words in Chinese houses or temples.

People are wearing jade pendants or earrings. There are many mysteries in China.

But I think everything can be a good luck charms.

Rock music group Queen's Freddie Mercury was often wearing silver snake bracelet as a charm.

He had very strong belief in success and achieved it. He never thought about failure as an option.

Having pet, especially gold fish is also considered to bring good luck for wealth and protection.

Wedding favors are usually lucky items unless the bride and groom have negative energy in their wedding party.

In our house, there are full of good luck items now. We are having the great life that we imagined. We are now working hard to get another dream.

Before we got married, my husband purchased a beautiful goddess made of wood when he traveled to Bali island. It seems the goddess is considered to bring great romance opportunity and love luck.

He wished to get married with an asian woman and a year later, his wish came true.

It may all come from our imagination but having good luck items also helps us to have good feelings and that encourages us to have good positive imagination.

Keiko Entwistle is a Japanese fortune-teller using her original Taoism methods that she learned in Japan. She also studied many kind of feng shui methods that are Japanese feng shui, Chinese feng shui (compass school, bagua, black hat, flying stars).

The Pug...Here's To Its Health, Happiness, and History

The origin of the pug predates Christ

These days anyone who knows dog breeds knows that the Pug has its origins in China, at least 400BC. Some scholars date this prized possession of the Emperors as far back as 700BC. Treasures, like pearls, jade, rare animals or dogs were considered imperial property. There were three types of short nosed dogs that were bred by the Chinese. The three dogs that were always protected by the guards were the Lion Dog, the Pekingese, and the Lo-sze or “Foo Dog,” the name for the ancient Pug. Anyone caught abusing or trying to steal them would pay with their life.

When the trade routes opened up, the “Foo” became a prize for the Dutch. From Holland this adorable little dog made its way to England. That is where the more refined Pug that is bred today got its beginnings. Monarchs and royalty throughout Europe, even to this day, considered the Pug one of their favorite breeds of dogs. It’s unmistakable features have graced many famous paintings. Most notably, the black Pug in  William Hogarth's painting “House of Cards." Hogarth owned many pugs and often used them as subjects in his paintings.

The pug was not recognized by the American Kennel Club until 1885, and until the turn of the century was a very popular breed. Its popularity waned, until in 1931 The Pug Dog Club of America was founded. The pug has enjoyed a some what steady growth since than. It is still one of the top choices for most discernable dog fanciers. Congratulations on your curiosity or love for this happy little breed, that indecently, has a different name depending what country you’re in. For example Mops in Germany and Holland, Mopsi in Finland, Carline in France, and Doguillo in Spain, just to name a few.

General Health Information

Pugs Are A Healthy Breed
Keep in mind that your vet is the only real source of any health issues your dog might face. However, if you a considering or perhaps just got a pug, there are a few things you should know. As already stated, pugs tend to be quite healthy. Perhaps the most common problem is obesity. Given the chance your pug will eat until it bursts, and than give that look of being starved. You should base its eating habits on its size and not its appetite. That cute pushed in face can cause breathing problems, especially in high heat and humidity. These are the common health concerns. I am sure that your vet will fill you in on what to expect as your pet grows older.

My name is Jonas - Weezer
Sweet home alabama - Lynard Skynard

Definitely All Summer Long by Kid Rock, when we would go boating by dad would have to repeat it like 3 times before we could actually change the song.
Also Gwen Stefani's Hollaback Girl because my 50+ male basketball coach used to sing it in the van while driving to games during summer league.
