  • Finding faith in few words

    14/02/2012 : If God is great and benevolent, why does s/he cause pain and calamity to Earth in the form of natural disaster? Those who cannot find answers turn to the probable empirical evidence called science that to some certain extent demystifies natural phenomena.

  • HEALTH4ALLCaring for the elderly

    14/02/2012 : More than half of my heart patients are above the age of 65. This doesn't come as a surprise since heart diseases usually come with advancing years; the older you are, the higher the risk. But in the not-too-distant future I expect that most of my patients will be 75, or older, because people are now living longer and this increased longevity means that our society contains a greater proportion of elderly citizens.

  • Lost Somewhere Along The Line

    22/01/2012 : This is the sign, prominent and loud, that pounced on me as I strolled past a Bangkok Bank branch this week. "Please get a line", it announced, stuck to a glass window, behind which a bank teller, as sullen as he was youthful, sat with a face like thunder.

  • Follow your star

    20/01/2012 : Dear Capricorn, you may not be able to complete all your goals due to lack of cooperation from colleagues. A medical bill is a maybe. Capricornians in love become very supportive of their partners and vice versa.

  • Chinese life Cycle

    20/01/2012 : For non-Chinese people, Chinese New Year (Jan 23) probably conjures images of dragons, lions and ang pao. But there is much more than simply these things to the Chinese way of life. You really don't know what goes on in the life of a Chinese unless you're born one. And, as the resident Chinese-descendant of the Guru team, I feel it's my duty to offer insight into the different stages of Chinese life in Thailand so you can enjoy the upcoming Chinese New Year like a true Chinese no matter what age or ethnicity you are. Kung Hei Fat Choy, everyone.

  • The Land of Scams

    20/01/2012 : Let's face it, the world is at a lowpoint and definitely going to end soon. It's 2012, and all the actors have been replaced by clones while the music charts are full of attention-seeking kids with ADHD. So it's no wonder that morality is plummeting to darker depths than Donald Trump on a bad hair day.

  • INTHEMIRROR

    Everything you need to know about your assets

    19/01/2012 : Buttocks are an important contribution to a woman's allure and sensuality. Shapely, round buttocks can make the waist and thighs appear smaller, bring the upper torso into more pleasing proportion, putting across a youthful appearance. Stick-thin women belong to reel world, runways or the cover of fashion magazines but ask any man in the real world about what constitutes a woman's sexiness, and more often than not, you will be told that they like a woman's curves. People everywhere are wild about beautiful rears and the very feminine inward sweep of the lower back, hips, and waist. A well-shaped derriere is just so bootylicious, and unless yours is of perfect shape and free of cellulite and stretch marks, it needs your attention.

  • WELLNESS

    Pneumonia still a worry

    17/01/2012 : Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lung caused by the build up of excess fluids and pus in the air sacs as a result of an immune response to infectious agents that could be virus, bacteria, or fungus. The build up of fluids cause the patients to suffer from severe cough and experience breathing difficulty. The disease is found at a higher number between June and March. Statistical data from 2001-2010 revealed an increase in the number of pneumonia cases each year. Children below the age of 4 have the highest infection rate and the elderly above the age of 65 being the second highest. Therefore these two groups of individuals should take extra care and precautions.
