Happy International Women’s Day. This post is not meant to blame women for the world’s chaos but rather, to emphasise the importance of women being able to understand and embrace the Yin-Yang principles properly.

It’s International Women’s Day today. Many believe it’s time to stop celebrating International Women’s Day as it only creates unnecessary hostility between genders.
But instead of focusing on the hostility, why don’t we see it as a day to celebrate how women’s rights have progressed so far, from being oppressed to having some freedom to choose?
Happy Valentine’s Day, people. Yes, it’s also time to complain about how commercial the day is. But isn’t it nice to see roses, chocolates and teddy bears everywhere? So celebrate and be merry. If you’re single… celebrate how you love yourself. Buy yourself some presents: roses, chocolates, teddy bears… or tote bags. Here is a…
Whenever I hear or read people’s obsession with happiness, that their life’s purpose is to be happy, I’d almost instantly go ‘ugh’. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t hate happiness.
