Are you drinking the right tea?
Are you drinking the right tea?
1. People who use their "brain" to work or students who study hard day
and night --- should drink more chrysanthemum Tea.
2. People who need a lot of body energy to work or those people that do
a lot of exercise everyday --- should drink Wu Loong Tea.
3. People who travel on a bike or work in dirty and polluted places ---
should drink Green Tea.
4. For people who likes to sit down all day long and not doing anything
even exercising --- must drink Green Tea and Flower Tea.
5. People who smoke and drink alot of alcoholic drinks --- should drink
more Green Tea.
6. People who must eat meat at least once a day, or feel sick or not
feeling well --- try to drink some Wu Loong Tea.
7. People who go to the washroom too often or too less --- should drink
more Honey Tea
8. People with high cholesterol and high blood pressure --- Wu Loong
Tea,Green Tea.
9. Those who work with computers everyday --- need to drink a lot of Tea
(any tea wil do).
Whenever you are working with the computer, you should make some tea,
drink it when you are free. Drinking Tea is healthy, it can protect and
prevent the harmful Ultraviolet light from harming us (when using
computer). Furthermore, it can also cure us when we are tired and help
making our body feel fresh again.

8) Cheaper ways to enhance study luck/inspirations:

9) Cheaper ways to enhance fame:
a) Activate South area- If you can't afford to buy a lamp and light up the area, use candle lights instead.
b) If you can't afford to buy horse figurine, you can use picture of phoenix and place it south. The picture can get from internet or scan from book.

Essential Tools For Marriage That Works
- Communication - Effective communication reinforces a marital relationship. We need to express our thoughts and feelings as much as we want attention and responses. So we can't shutup all the time and keep quiet.
- Family Relationship - With the rapid changes in the modern world, we should clarify what we expect from each other and develop a style of working together. And do remember the promise that make, doesn't mean after a year or so, you can forgotten about it.
- Financial Management - How we handle money revels the kind of lifestyle we aspire to attain and the values we hold. Each of us are likely to have individual differences in the way we handle our $. Having a combined saving account and come to a common agreement level is important. Because money could be the cause of divorce.
- Relationship Development - To develop a meaningful relationship as a married couple, we need to know ourself as well as our partner in order for the both of us to learn to grow together.
- Sex in Marriage - Sexual intimacy is more than physical closeness; it is an emotional adventure, an exploration, and a process of discovery. A secure marital relationship helps us to learn about each other sexually. Dun give excuse just becuase we work too tired in office or "I prefer in the morning...not night" and you need to off the house before 7 am.

ARIES MALE
ARIES MALE
When it comes to love you are aggressive, domineering, energetic and restless. You are impulsive, imaginative and dynamic, a doer, however on can never be sure what you'll do next. You can drive your lover crazy if she isn't accustomed to high energy excitement. You look for spontaneous and imaginative partners who can hold your interest and keep up to your fast pace. You can be a bed bouncer but you always expect complete loyalty from your mate. Although your temper is short lived you will explode if you become suspicious of your lover. You get jealous quickly and you need constant appreciation and reassurance in order to feel secure in your relationship.
ARIES MATE
You will not tolerate being bossed around by your mate. You hate have your space infringed upon and you can't stand it if your mate shows up late for a date. You like to be asked for advice and flattery always makes you feel important. You will never slow down and wait for your lover. It's keep up or get left behind. You match up to your sign and the remaining eleven signs as follows.
ARIES & ARIES: Temper tantrums are quite likely to erupt into major wars with this combination. Remember only one party can win and neither one will accept defeat. Passionate but problems.
ARIES & TAURUS: The Bull has trouble with your free spirited attitude. With compromise it can work. A little bit dull for you at times however it can be a stabilizing experience for you.
ARIES & GEMINI: Wonderful alliance. This is an exciting, sexual encounter that can in fact last. Both you and Gemini are so spontaneous and full of life that there is no time for either of you to become bored.
ARIES & CANCER: The Crab is far too sensitive and slow for your speedy and hot tempered nature. You will have difficulty listening to the Crabs nagging and negativity. This is really a poor match up right from day one.
AIRES & LEO: This is a most exhilarating combination. You both share the same likes and dislikes. You are both always on the go, craving excitement, love and fun. This is truly a link made in heaven.
ARIES & VIRGO: Your impulsiveness is just too much for the Virgoan. Virgo's practical, critical nature will drive you away rapidly. This is a relationship better left alone.
ARIES & LIBRA: Although opposites attract, the Scales are just a little too lazy to keep up with you. You on the other hand lack the sophistication required to keep a Libran happy.
ARIES & SCORPIO: You are both ruled by the catalyst Mars that makes this union hot and heavy. The possessive Scorpio will, however, does clash with your free spirited nature.
ARIES & SAGITTARIUS: This can be a good and a lasting relationship. You are both fun-loving and quite oblivious to the faults that might drive most people crazy. This is an exciting and adventurous union.
ARIES & CAPRICORN: Finances are the biggest detriment in this connection. You can spend it as fast as the hard working Goat can make it that drives the frugal Capricorn insane.
ARIES & AQUARIUS: This is not a bad connection. You are both inquisitive, however at times you may find it difficult to contemplate what the Water-bearer will do next.
ARIES & PISCES: Sexually this is not a bad alliance, but your temperaments are just so different that it does put a strain on the relationship. You could never handle the Fishes emotional whims for any length of time.
So do you think I'm Aries ?
