At this time you are feeling ‘uptight’ and you are urgently in need of rest and relaxation; but perhaps even more than that you need to overcome that feeling that you have been ‘hard done by’ and treated with a complete lack of consideration. Maybe you have, but whatever may have been the cause of your inherent anxiety, you regard the situation as intolerable. Your are, however, sufficiently competent to turn that situation around – you have overcome similar problems in the past, and really this one isn’t too different.

Being impulsive and irritable, your desires and needs are paramount. You do things with insufficient thought – with little regard to the consequences that may follow. As a consequence of this attitude, you may be experiencing stress and conflict.

Enough is enough – but the problems never seem to stop. They never stop. You feel, and maybe you are right, that the problems seem to go on and on and you have indeed had more than your fair share of trials and tribulations. But to give you credit – you bounce back time and time again – you stick to your beliefs because deep down you have that inner knowledge, that ‘belief’ system that in the end, everything will turn out OK – and you are right -it will!

For whatever the reason, you find it extremely difficult to sustain relationships – that is to sustain them in the manner that you would wish. You are a very gentle sort of person, full of feeling, sensitivity and susceptible to love and affection, looking and longing for a partner with whom you can enjoy ‘All things bright and beautiful’ – someone with whom you can seek out the more esoteric things of life. But up to now this person has only existed in your imagination. You are very choosy, appreciative, refined and extremely artistic in temperament and it is your hope to seek others who will allow you to form and express your own taste and judgement and who at the same time may assist you in your intellectual or artistic growth.

You are inclined to be too trusting and you feel that you need to be on your guard against the possibility that your endeavours and actions may be misunderstood. Too often you have been taken advantage of and you have been mentally abused. Now you are seeking a relationship which can provide peace of mind, where you can be yourself and not have the need to put on a false front.

Rants over wants…

I am totally pissed off now.   I am disappointed with my boss for his inconsistencies.  I can blame him though, as he is Korean and I need to understand that we are a Korean-funded start-up company.  Hence, we need to submit to the regulations of the culture he was raised and that of our investors.

Still, I can’t help but rant now. I know that I have my share of inconsistencies. I try to avoid being one.  But when I am aware that I am being incosistent, I am diplomatic about the issue especially when my associates are involved.  Shallow as it may look like, but certain issues should be resolved no matter how substantial  it is. Read: substanstial not irrelevant.

I believe that I have complimentary leadership skills with my boss.  He is authoritative while I am people-oriented.  We have one unified goal but getting to that goal is another story.  Sometimes, we debate on issues. What is good is, we end up in a compromise most of the time.  In rare times, I need to submit to his authority.  Afterall, I am just his employee. 

But this is the only time, I think I am right but felt helpless.  Certain things  I am fighting for the sake of my associates but my boss rejected the idea only after sometime when negotiations and huggling already took place. I felt that my word was on the line. That I need to bite the bullet and admit to my associates that I was wrong.  That there was a miscommunication within the management.  Sadly, I am part of this management.

Well,  I expect my people to understand me.  But I cannot undo the fact that my words could not be trusted by them all the time.  I  have to earn their trust and loyalty again. 

Finally, I should learn a lesson or two from this experience which I have yet to  unravel. For now, I need to be more focused with my job at any given circumstance.

Oh My Banana!

I used to have what I call Banana diet a few months ago.  I stopped for reasons I can’t remember now. Now, I want to do it again. My reasons why….  (a former colleague emailed this to me.)

A professor at CCNY for a physiological psych class told his class
about bananas.? He said the expression “going bananas” is from the
effects of bananas on the brain.? Read on:

Never, put your
banana in the refrigerator!!!

This is interesting.

After reading this, you’ll never look at a
banana in the same way again.

Bananas contain three natural sugars -
sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant,
sustained and substantial boost of energy.


Research has proven that just two bananas
provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana
is the number one fruit with the world’s leading athletes.

But energy isn’t the only way a banana can
help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of
illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people
suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is
because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts
into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make
you feel happier.

PMS: Forget the pills – eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains
regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of
hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet
low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food
and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official
claims for the fruit’s ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.

Brain Power: 200
students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams
this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost
their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can
assist learning by making pupils more alert.

Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore
normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to
laxatives.

Hangovers: One of the quickest
ways
of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The
banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted
blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system..

Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you
suffer from heartburn, try e ating a banana for soothing relief…

Morning Sickness: Snacking
on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning
sickness.

Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the
affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly
successful at reducing swelling and irritation.

Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous
system.

Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria
found pressure at wor k leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and
crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese
were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to
avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar le vels
by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.

Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal
disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit
that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also
neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the
stomach.

Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a “cooling” fruit
that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant
mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their
baby is born with a cool temperature.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural
mood enhancer tryptophan.

Smoking &Tobacco Use: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6,
B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help
the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.

Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat,
sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body’s water balance. When we are
stressed, our metabolic rate rises, there by
reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a
high-potassium banana snack.

Strokes: According to research in The New England Journal of Medicine,
eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes
by as much as 40%!

Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to
kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the
yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical
tape!

So, a banana really is a natural remedy for
many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein,
twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A
and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in
potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe its time to change
that well-known phrase so that we say, “A banana a day keeps the doctor
away!”

PASS IT ON TO YOUR FRIENDS

PS: Bananas must be the reason monkeys are
so happy all the time! I will add one here; want a quick shine on our shoes??
Take the INSIDE of the banana skin, and rub directly on the shoe…polish with
dry cloth. Amazing fruit !  - Anonymous
