Sakura said:I have always loved drawing & painting since a very young age, also I have always loved music & singing. my mother kept a cassette of me singing when I was 6 years old. At 8 years old, I started to play piano. I like to write songs and poetry too. I felt I could always express my emotions this way, if there was no-one I could talk too about something, I would write about it in ryhming verse. Well I say "would", but actually I still do that now. Most of my songs are about Love, but then that seems to be the main theme for songs all over the world. But that is probably what gives me most inspiration.
Most of the guys I know are into music and in bands. But they are mostly on the internet. Some of my male friends think it's weird that I'm into Sports cars & Playstation, because they say normal girls aren't like that. But that is just a stereotype. I beat all my Japanese male friends at all the PS2 games we played last time. Trouble is my Mother says, if the guys treat me as "one of the lads" then I will never get a boyfriend. I also asked some English guys about what type of girl they prefer, One who shares same interests, or One who is more feminine. They said she has got to be feminine, but also like football. I tolod them, "Good luck finding a girl like that then," LOL(^_~)
Actually, girls tend to like guys like that, because they are sensitve, apparently macho guys are more likely to stray, I read in article. Also I know an awful lot of girls who fancy feminine guys. But I do see what you're trying to say. They probably prefer guys too right, if they are camp?Duo said:Well, it's only natural that a guy tries to find a girl that is feminine, up to a certain point of course. I mean that's how nature made it to be. It's true that if the girl is considered to be one of the guys, she will have difficulty to find a bf. She shouldn't changer herself, but maybe start to demonstrate that she has a feminine self too. It goes the same for girls I think. I mean a girl wouldn't want to be in a relationship with a "girly" guy

I do my best. I don't drink or smoke, I lift weights and do Chi Kung every day. I can lift heavier weights today than when I was in my 20s. True!
Exercise is the single best way to fight the effects of aging, next to proper diet. Some Chi Kung masters I know are in their 70s and look like they're in their 50s.
But I wish I had more hair!

Duo said:That sounds cool. Can you do EQ ? Thats like external Qigong, like using your energy to improve others' chi flow. I also read in a Taoist book that a good diet, exercise and the correct flow of Chi can increase your longevity and maintain your body younger than the average person.
Golgo_13 said:I often give energy healing for people who are willing to give it a try. I've had successes with speeding up the healing of bone fractures. Also, I give private lessons. My last student, who now lives in Oregon, was a few grades below a blackbelt in Tae Kwon Do.
Here's what Mad Pierrot said about my External Chi Kung when I gave him a demonstration in Japan (see my "I'm in Japan" thread at I`m in Japan! ):
Believe me, it was nice to spend a day in the city. The demonstation was cool as hell, too. I really need to find a Qi Gong (sp?) Sensei while I'm still in Japan. To anyone on this forum who doesn't believe in that kind of stuff, it was friggin amazing, and I'm usually skeptical. Take my word for it.
Well, you have to understand I'm normally a very skeptical person when it comes to this kind of thing. I tend to agree with people like Richard P. Feynman who called soft-sciences "witch doctoring." That being said, I'm open minded. (Most of the time...)
Anyways, back to Golgo's demonstration. After he did a warm-up and such, he asked me to place my hand palm open in front of him. I didn't feel anything at first and was dissappointed. Then he moved his hands closer to mine I felt kind of a shock. The best way I can describe it is to say it felt like a weak battery current. As he moved his hands closer, I could feel it stronger. Weird ****, I have no idea how he does it, but it's definately the real thing.
Regardless, I was suitably impressed. Hands generating an electrical current is not something I expected.
Golgo_13 said:The only problem is training people to become skilled practitioners.
I've been doing Chi Kung since early 1987 and it was only after about 14 years of practice that I noticed I was able to generate palpable energy with my hands. Then a few more years until I found I could direct energy to a sick or injured person to speed up their healing.
Rate of progress depends, of course, on the individual, but who in the West has the patience to go on practicing something for 16 years without any guarantee of success?
Sakura said:Duo & Goglo: like jackie Chan is maybe middle-aged now, but he is still in very good shape, because he keeps himself fit. His stunts are so clever!
Duo: Camp is man who acts feminate. I could give you examples of celebrities who are camp, but the are English, so you might not have heard of them, as they are not internationally famous. Just TV presenters & such. I have couple of friends who are camp, people who don't know them very well, think that they are gay, but actually they like women, so they think like man, but just act like women most of time.
Glenn said:@femininity - I think that a girl can be athletic and feminine at the same time. In fact, I happen to like athletic girls. Now, if you walk, talk, and in general act like a guy, then that's not feminine.
@Golgo13 - Haha. Although there are some pretty good looking tennis players.
@girly guys - I would imagine that girls don't want a guy who is feminine, just like guys don't want girls who are masculine. Sure, every girl says that she wants a guy who is sensitive and will cry at sad movies, but then they go after the "bad boy" who has not an ounce of sensitivity in him. Of all the girls that I have known, they have all wanted the guy to be the strong, manly man first. If he is sensitive too, then that's a bonus. As long as he's not too sensitive.
@ridiculously high standards - It seems to me that most people who have ridiculously high standards intentionally make them so, so as not to find a lover as a defensive mechanism. But then they get upset when it succeeds, because biology takes over at a certain point. I guess the only thing that will keep such a person from going crazy would be to either overcome the fear, or accept the idea that they really don't want to be intimate with anyone (at least for that period in their lives). That's just what I have picked up from observation.
Maybe they have seen too much DBZDream Time said:I think when you talk about Chi Kung to some western people,
they think about walking on walls and maybe shooting fireballs
some of them do not know Chi Kung can be used for medical
