Today is one of the most restful day since rock had a fall. I guess I needed this very much. It is such a serene, satisfying day and foresee this to continue for the rest of the day. Randomly musing and reflecting on a few brothers and sisters in the Lord and what are they going through. Sorry to say doris is recovering from her asthmatic attacks lately and pray that her new treatment works, if not our Lord to heal her. I am sure her DH must be having his hands full taking care of clayton the active lovable darling of theirs. Then Wahseh is in China and she posts about Friends, asking “What sort of friend are you?”yesterday and what a great post she wrote. Real true friends are hard to find. Visited sindoo my friend from India and came across his photo of a letter from a Great Man, Mahatma Ghandi! Coincidentally, he was writing a letter to his friend Adolf Hitler! Take a look and see as well as appreciate the heart of such a man! No wonder he is such a Statesman of such stature! Need I say more!

Have you heard of Andy Warhol? He hosts a website titled “Promote Your Blog” and what I like about his site is this catch phrase “In Future Everyone Will Be Famous For 15 Minutes”. Wow! such a simple, realistic statement from Andy. Lets face it, not many bloggers will make it to the Hall of Fame! Perhaps we bloggers have this inner desire to be famous but we have to be realistic! It is something achievable, yes, but lots and lots of hard work of churning out great content beside the competition of millions and millions of bloggers jostling for that maybe 50 positions at the top where you are considered famous! Then for how long? Perhaps when the new kid round the blog comes around!

Andy’s Promote Your Blog have categories such as Personal, Moms, Parenting etc. It is also a place where you can meet other fellow bloggers who want to be famous for 15 minutes in the future! Check Andy out!

Did some surfing early this morning, dropped by Cooking Momster Corner and discover this Blog Rating Fun thing from Mingle. I am a sucker for this sort of thingy and I am glad of the rating it gives my blog, “G” which is for General Audiences! Whew! at least we know our posts are clean and harmless! We would be worried if I’ve got a “X” Rating!

Cooking Momster also mentioned about a friend who said that a G-Rating means your blog is boring! I disagree with that for if that is so then the Rating should be a “B”! Check yours and see what you get.

Doing my wee little part in social networking by introducing new blogging friends I’ve met this week! Intend to do this every week to spread the love around! These are a few who dropped by and say hello! Visited their blogs and find them very interesting! Hey slowly but surely I am meeting all sorts of great bloggers around and enjoy their authenticity, frankness and warmth! Do drop in to check them out and I assure you that you will not be disappointed.

Well. thats all for this week and slowly but surely we build a huge network of blogger friends round the world! Hey! I noticed that more women visitors to my site than men? Perhaps it is true that there are more female bloggers than men then? What do you think? Have a Blesswed week-end to all of you including us!

Received quite a few comments and queries on my post Satanic Verses and this is some sort of continuation to it. I am sure many of you have heard of Subliminal Messages, and if not click that and you can have more info supplied by Wikipedia.

Started back in 1898 and being researched by many scientists and groups but opinion varies with some quarters saying that it was not very effective and some swear by it. One of my pal kuanhoong mentioned that what is the point of masking the satanic verses backwards in audio since nobody can understand it! Credit to kuanhoong who asks this and truly even many psychologists said that and their opinion were same as kuanhoong. Jean also said that she have heard of it being mentioned when she was a kid. Mommibee mentioned about the christian message masked into christian songs. Being not an expert or claiming any real knowledge of these things, all I can only venture is that somehow satanists do speak backwards and perhaps thats why. Another personal point is that spiritual things can only be perceived and understand spiritually rather than mentally.

Back to the point of subliminal messages which the masking of satanic messages or any other messages fall under, is now widely used by some psychologist who uses hypnotsim in their treatment! I believe some advertising companies also do that and one of the well known experiment was conducted by Coca-cola back in 1957! They used video which works like this. Slotting in a few frames into the video tape and when played back normally, people don’t see the ads but subconsciously they picked it up! The slotted frames said ‘Drink Coca-cola’ The result was that there was an increase in Coca-cola sales that day. Well that much for effectiveness but later in 1958, UK, US and Australia banned the use of subliminal suggestions in this form. Perhaps the next time when you are in a cineplex watching a movie and suddenly you feel an urge to have pop-corns, maybe you are being subliminally suggested! Perhaps.

What I think would be a favorite for many husbands who have naggy wives, is to mask some messages ‘I am a good wife, so I am not going to nag’ into her favorite music and play it all day long! hehe! Oh that was just an example so men, used your creativity and suggest anything to your wives and see how effective subliminal messaging goes! Guess better than sms! hehe!
