People have long been baffled by the mystery of Mona Lisa's smile and the identity of the model herself. Throughout the years art historians, conspiracy theorists, aspiring conspiracy theorists and writers have all speculated on who this mysterious woman was. Who did the famous Leonardo da Vinci paint? One of my favorite speculations of all time has to be the one which suggested that the Mona Lisa was actually a self-portrait of the famous painter himself! In my opinion, it is the oddest and most interesting what-if of all. Da Vinci was known to be quite an ...

Well, this year I'm going to change all that. I'm going to dive in and enjoy the water. I'm even going to make it a point to enjoy the tides and currents that come with it.

Posted by Jen as Announcements, Entertainment, Entertainment Features

jamielynnspears.png Another Spears is making the headlines. Only this time, the target is not Britney Spears but her younger sister Jamie Lynn. For those of you who don't know, Jamie Lynn stars in a Nickelodeon show called Zoey 101. I still remember the first time she was introduced to the world of acting. My initial thought was that she looked every inch like her sister! They could have been twins except for the obvious height difference. However, their personalities seemed to be different as well. While Britney was always attracting negative attention to herself, Jamie Lynn was the ...

Jehova's Witnesses believe that taking in blood is considered a sin and is something that will be taken  against them come the final judgment. Such cases are rare, so it shocked doctors and other  medical professionals in Britain when a young woman who just gave birth to twins died after reportedly ...

Posted by Jay as Announcements, Featured Articles, Health Features

Yesterday, Sept. 22, 2007, was a day that will forever be a part of me. It's the day when I became a healer -- a Reiki healer. I graduated from a one-day class on Reiki healing at the Pelindaba Healing Center and Learning Institute at 6 Istanbul St., Merville Park Subd., Paranaque, Metro Manila. Reiki masters Gi Santos and his wife Marge held the class at a large room overlooking the scenic garden of their residence. They said it was the largest class they have had so far -- we were more than 20 in the room -- a clear ...
