[LIFESTYLE] Japanese Blood Types.

axemy — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 16:05:41 +0000

There is a popular belief in Japan that a person’s ABO blood type or ketsueki-gata is predictive of their personality, temperament, and compatibility with others.

Type A

People with blood type A have a deep-rooted strength that helps them stay calm in a crisis when everyone else is panicking. However, they tend to avoid confrontation, and feel very uncomfortable around people. A types are shy and sometimes withdrawn. They seek harmony and are very polite, but all the same feel that they never really fit in with others. A types are very responsible. If there is a job to be done, they prefer to take care of it themselves. These people crave success and are perfectionists. They are also very creative, and the most artistic of all the blood types, most likely because of their sensitivity. People with blood type A are also likely to be considered classic “type A’s”: stressed and conscientious.

Type B

People with blood type B are the most practical of the blood groups. They are specialists in what they do. When they start a project, they spend extra time understanding and trying to follow directions than others might. When they are doing something, all of their attention is focused on it. They tend to stick to a goal and follow it through to the end, even if it seems impossible. They tend to be less than cooperative, as they like to follow their own rules and their own ideas. They are individualists. B type people pay attention to their thoughts a little more than their feelings, and therefore can sometimes seem cold and serious. People with blood type B are often considered more relaxed, freewheeling, and unconventional than other types, although not necessarily to an unacceptable degree.

Type O

People with blood type O people are outgoing, energetic and social. They are the most flexible of the blood types. They easily start up projects but often have trouble following through because they give up easily. They are flighty and not too dependable. O types always say what’s on their mind. They value the opinion of others and like to be the center of attention. Also, people with O blood are extremely self-confident. Type O, the most “average” blood type, is considered the best type in Japan.

Type AB

People with blood type AB are hard to categorize. They can have characteristics on both ends of the spectrum at the same time. For instance, they are both shy and outgoing. They easily switch from one opposite to another. AB people are trustworthy and responsible, but can’t handle it when too much is asked of them. They don’t mind doing favors or helping out, as long as its on their own conditions. People with this blood type are interested in art and metaphysics. AB is considered the worst blood type. In predictability-loving Japan, they’re loose cannons. They also like to set their own conditions and reserve the right to drop out when things don’t meet their expectations. They’re known to be sensitive and considerate—at times—but it just isn’t enough to balance out the flaws in this blood type. For a while, some companies tried dividing their employees into work groups based on blood type, and no one wanted to work with the AB group.

A is most compatible with A and AB.

B is most compatible with B and AB.

AB is most compatible with AB, B, A, and O.

O is most compatible with O and AB.

I’m type B, and you ? =).

[ACTIVITY] Yoga, or how to be zen.

axemy — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 19:14:40 +0000

HISTORY

Yoga is an ancient discipline that originated in India there are thousands of years. It is both a science and an art of living, exercise and philosophy. He has many fans in Asia but in recent years experienced increasing success in our Western countries increasingly seduced by the gentle and relaxing activities.

WHAT IS IT?

He is best known for its strange acrobatic postures and the famous lotus position, yoga is actually a mixture of disciplines involving both body and mind. The most conscientious will combine same hygienic food (vegetarian) and a disciplined life of asceticism inspired the ancients. You can still choose to practice yoga for its purely physical benefits. It is then a series of exercises called “asanas”. Each “asana” consists of three phases: one takes the position it holds, and is relaxed, breathing slowly and deeply. The work on breathing and breath, “pranayama” is essential to enable the body to hold and move energy. Relaxation exercises and meditation, to perform at the end of each session or separately, are intended to lead to inner peace.

BENEFITS

At the end of a yoga session, you will feel not only relaxed but energetic. The postures relax the spine and joints, tone muscles, endocrine glands and internal organs. You will feel effects from the first session. Although at first it is the physical postures which have the most impact, the practice makes it ultimately more aware of the movement of “prana” (vital energy), and the importance of ’proper breathing ( “pranayama”). This, we tend to neglect, provides oxygen abundance in the blood, keeping the body healthy and the brain more alert.

“Due to less work in dramas and movies, it seems like I have free time to promote an album. This upcoming special album is dedicated to fans for waiting so patiently and as long as it’s taken to come; it’ll be just as good. I’m so happy that I’ll be able to engage in 2 months of promoting by performing in the media and when the special album is released on April 1st and my live promotions end, I plan to go on tour. And because this tour will be related to the album, I feel like I’ll be able to put on a new kind of performance during my tour. I feel like my recent drama and movie roles showed me as a very serious person so I plan to act in more relaxed dramas and movies to show my true light side. MBLAQ’s 2nd single will be released soon and promotions will go from April through May, so let’s enjoy these two months together!“

[CULTURE] The Red Panda ♥

axemy — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 19:55:35 +0000

The Red Panda is a small arboreal mammal and the only species of the genus Ailurus. Slightly larger than a domestic cat, it has reddish-brown fur, a long, shaggy tail, and a waddling gait due to its shorter front legs. It eats mainly bamboo, but is omnivorous and may also eat eggs, birds, insects, and small mammals. It is a solitary animal, mainly active from dusk to dawn, and is largely sedentary during the day.

Endemic to the temperate forests of the Himalayas, the Red Panda ranges from Nepal in the west to China in the east. It is also found in northern India, Bhutan and northern Myanmar. Accurate population figures in the wild are difficult to find, with estimates ranging from 11,000 to 20,000 worldwide. Although it is protected by law in all countries where it lives, its numbers in the wild continue to decline mainly due to habitat loss and fragmentation, poaching & inbreeding depression.

[CULTURE] Chinese poetry…

axemy — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 13:25:28 +0000

Hi!

Now, let’s have a speach about Chinese poetry.

Poetry has always had a prominent role in China, both socially and aesthetically. We can attribute this importance to the sign (the Chinese character or Translingual) which still retains a privileged status. Besides poetry and calligraphy overlap and may sometimes overlap.

The history of Chinese poetry can be divided into three main periods: ancient times, characterized by folk songs in simple, repetitive forms, the classical period of the Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, which saw a proliferation of various forms, and finally the modern period characterized by free verse of Western influence.

After the torrent moonlight white as the sand
Near the water on a terrace, one among ten thousand houses.
Who plays the flute Jade at dead of night?
Heart hurt that person does behind the flowers in the garden.

Zhào Mèng Fŭ (1254 – 1322)

[FASHION] New Japanese Creators.

axemy — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 20:51:04 +0000

The 80s marked the arrival of a new generation of Japanese designers. It allows to young fashion designers to get a starting place. Kenzo Takada and Issey Miyake took off in 1999. The garments are more sober and less eccentric.

Yohji Yamamoto was born in Tokyo in 1943. He is graduated from the prestigious Keio University and the Bunka Fashion College. He began in 1970. Two years later he created his own brand under the name of Y’s and presents his first collection in Tokyo in 1977. His style is known worldwide after his fashion show Spring / Summer 83 in Paris. He was the only Japanese designer. In the heart of his work : the matter. It such dominates that colors are most missing. Black’s enough. Matter over all !

It’s easier to destroy codes if we never taught them. Rei Kawakubo. She’s the creator of Comme Des Garçons. She thinks the clothing like an item, a sculpture.. All of her work is single and inspired.
