wingsanctuary Yes, I'm trying to avoid her from drugs, I think relying on them may bring even more harm. I think she had tried listening to music, which doesn't show any signs of improvement. Reading perhaps is something she can try though. Thanks for the advice. ^^

wingsanctuary She dislikes visiting a physician more than unable to sleep, physician would probably apply drugs, which isn't something she wants. I'm trying to develop a sleeping schedule, waking her up in the normal morning hours eventhough she slept very late, it only...

wingsanctuary We are trying to find solutions avoiding drugs, so the sleeping pills isn't an option even if it works. Her insomnia doesn't see any direct link to stressed, it happens eventhough in relaxed situations. Bathing makes her awake even more. Troubling. Thanks for...

wingsanctuary Thanks for the reply. ^^ What kind of martial arts can combine with Tai Chi? Do you think that Tai Chi is effective as a self-defense art by itself? I've seen movies and dramas showing Tai Chi (plus some added effect) which shows that it can be effective, but...

wingsanctuary I am a chinese too, and I love the language a lot. Where are you from? Thanks for sharing your opinion. I'm rather curious why you think that Chinese is easier than English? Mind telling me more about your views?

2008 has been a quiet year for anime. However, a lot of new animes started to come out since August and September 2008, and I've been following some of them. I'm also watching few older animes. Here's my list. 1- One...

wingsanctuary My best friend and I was motivated to learn GO after we watched Hikaru no GO as well. ^^ But I'm not very good at it, don't quite see the picture on how to plan on GO strategies. Go was one of the board games that I believe to be a bit too complex for my mind...

According to many experts and economists, 2009 will be a worse year than 2008 and 2007. We are already having global recession now, but 2009 is expected to hit us harder with more job losses, lower consumer spending and also the...

wingsanctuary There are always opportunities lying around, some obvious, some hidden. Are you expecting any good things to happen in the coming year? If you don't mind sharing that is. It's really an exiciting year for me, big changes big challenges. ^^

If you'd have to debate on the above topic, what do you think are the strong points for either sides or both sides. Please feel free to share your opinions and facts.

wingsanctuary One of the ways to "use" human cloning is to clone yourself so you can have spare organs and blood for organ transplant and medical purposes. I sounds a bit scary to me though, having to kill a clone which is just like myself genetically even to save myself....

My favourite would be Fuji Syusuke of the Seigaku team. Although Ryoma and Tetsuka may be stronger but I like Fuji's play style and his attitude. His vanishing serve and the triple counters are amazing and he is such a caring...

wingsanctuary I didn't like Echizen Ryoma at first as I think he is too cool. But after he joined the seigaku team and started to make friends and get along with the other members, I started to like this character much more that I expected to. I also like some of the the...

wingsanctuary Although he is not my favourite, I agree that he is cool, especially when he says "Aku Soku Zan" (Slay if Evil), a very straight forward philosphy and ideal. He is one of the characters in Samurai X who really existed in history. I wonder how the real Saitou...

wingsanctuary I prefer sword battles instead of hand to hand ones, but Sanosuke Sagara has something in his style which I like - all attack and zero defense! Sanosuke Sagara has the spirit to attack, which is something you probably won't see in Kenshin's Hitenmitsurugi...

wingsanctuary I was also very surprised for the creative elements used in the film. Minimal dialogue but a lot was successfully expressed most creatively. The gestures the "facial expressions", the movements... I've heard that a picture says a thousand words but never...

I think it's a very interesting anime but not much people seemed to have watched it before. Any one interested to share some thoughts on this anime?

wingsanctuary Some people find the plot a bit too complex to enjoy though. Because the story is based on a Japanese AVG game which has three mainlines (each one focusing on one of the three main heroine), there are hidden stories within a lot of their dialogs. Fate Stay...

wingsanctuary I agree that Wall E did exaggerate about the trash but I feel that there is a lot of real facts happening. Some countries are just dumping industrial wastes to poorer countries while they live in "clean" environments. I don't live in countries where wastes...

wingsanctuary I dream of going to Italy like your wife. I seldom travel far from home (Malaysia), the furthest I went was merely Singapore when I was still very very young. Rom seems to be a great city to visit, I've seen a lot of it on TV. If I really have the chance to go...

wingsanctuary "race between my thoughts and my writing"... I like the way you put it. Thoughts are like fairies, one second it's there, another second it's gone. I have similar experiences as well but I don't feel discouraged. I look at it as a game between the running...
