People We Like : Cesar Milan


I discovered Cesar in the "Dog Whisperer" (a National Geographic Show).
Not only did i learn a lot about Dogs but also about people!

In his own words "I rehabilitate dogs. I train people."

I applied a few tips when my sister gave me a Lhassa Apso & she turned out to be a terrific dog.Even people who don't like dogs fall in love with her.I'm very grateful to Cesar. He truly has a gift.His compassion & skillful ways are very inspiring.
So,if you own a dog or are afraid of dogs, please check the OFFICIAL WEBSITE ,watch the videos.Enjoy! Tell me what you think.

News:Reunion & Cool Gift


I had not seen my cousin Lily in more than 10 years.We were quite close,she used to babysit me & taught me many things.She lived in China as a child & kept on studying when she got back in Europe(INALCO,Paris).So perfectly fluent in mandarin.
I was lucky to have her as a kid,i was very curious about other cultures (especialy China & Japan) & not many people around me could answer my questions.

So i had dinner at her place last week & we had a wonderful "update" reunion.
As i was visiting her apartment i saw something hanging on the wall that i really liked & she decided on the spot to give it to me !

A silk hanging with the word "happiness" in a 100 different scripts.She hanged it upside down but we hanged it the other way this afternoon in my living room.

On the west wall it acts as a remedy for the annual no 3 Star because it's red.
The no 3 star causes quarrels,court cases & relationships troubles.
Other cures for the number 3 star (in 2010 south sector)
  • Red & Gold cushions,fabrics
  • Red & Gold Holy Verses
  • Golden Laughing Buddha
  • Ksitigarbha Fire Ball

Petites Histoires : La Tour de la Banque de Chine,Hong-Kong


Designed by the architect I.M.Pei (Pritzker Prize winner)
Height: 305 m (367.4 m with 2 mats).
The tallest building in Asia from 1989 to 1992.
It was expected to conclude construction on the auspicious date of 8 August 1988 (reminds you of something?) But they were delayed.
The design is reminiscent of a young bamboo shoots (vitality, prosperity) but his angles are "poison arrows" clearly directed towards its neighbors (notably HSBC),some have compared to an instrument of slaughter ...

There was a little controversy at that time, it is the only major building in Hong Kong to have bypassed the Convention: consult a feng shui specialist for the design before construction.


Crée par l 'architecte I.M.Pei (gagnant du Prix Pritzer). Hauteur : 305 mètres (367,4 m avec les 2 mats) Le plus grand bâtiment en Asie de 1989 a 1992. Il était prévu de conclure la construction a la date auspicieuse du 8 août 1988 (ca vous rappelle quelque chose? ) mais ils ont eu du retard. Le design fait penser a de jeunes pousses de bamboo (vitalité,prospérité) mais ses angles protubérants sont des "flèches empoisonées"clairement dirigées vers ses voisins(notament HSBC),certains l 'ont comparé a un instrument de boucherie...
 Il y a eu une petite controverse a l 'époque,c'est le seul building important de Hong-Kong a avoir contourné la convention:consulter un spécialiste feng shui pour la conception avant la construction.
