I take a rest this past few days, that’s why I didn’t have a post.. not because I have still aftershock because of my newly website. Your wrong!
Last Saturday after I wake up in the morning my hands are too tired and also I’m suffering in backache. I’m not in the mood to post for my blog. Then I got wonder why I feel this.
Suddenly, I remembered about my professor said when I was in college about this symptoms. It reminds me about the RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury). Oh my gosh! Did I have that?? Let’s check it out..!
what is RSI?
Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)- is a potentially debilitating condition resulting from overusing the hands to perform a repetitive task, such as typing, writing, or clicking a mouse. Anyone who uses a computer regularly is at risk and should know about RSI. Unfortunately, most people are uninformed and do not understand what RSI is or how serious it can be.
What are the symptoms of RSI?
The primary warning sign of RSI is pain in the upper extremities (fingers, palms, wrists, forearms, shoulders). The pain may be burning, aching, or shooting. It could be local (e.g., fingertips) or diffuse (e.g., the entire forearm). The pain will typically be increased after a long session of computer use. Keep in mind, however, you can have severe RSI without experiencing pain.
SYMPTOMS OF RSI
Do you experience:
-Fatigue or lack of endurance?
-Weakness in the hands or forearms?
-Tingling, numbness, or loss of sensation?
-Heaviness: Do your hands feel like dead weight?
-Clumsiness: Do you keep dropping things?
-Lack of strength in your hands? Is it harder to open jars? Cut vegetables?
-Lack of control or coordination?
-Chronically cold hands?
-Heightened awareness? Just being slightly more aware of a body part can be a clue that something is wrong.
-Hypersensitivity?
-Frequent self-massage (subconsciously)?
-Sympathy pains? Do your hands hurt when someone else talks about their hand pain?

RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury)
Thanks Ate Jennie
Because of having a long time break in blogging I can't believe that someone will spy me during my solitude.. hehehe.. Thanks ate Jen for the touching tips you've share me and I will share it to all of you..
" Scientists have proven the importance of personal relationships. And if you add Maslow's triangle to the mix, you see the benefits of marriage.
uhmm.. a helpful tips for happiness..
Avoiding memory gap
memory gap or rain drain.. well i'm suffering it right now, and I search about my dilemma.. and I wanna share it to all of you..
Those of us who are busy all the time can experience burnout, exhaustion, and fatigue from spending long periods of time in focused concentration. I call this syndrome "Brain Drain." Brain drain, if gone unchecked, can result in depression, stress, and even anger if you push after the drain has set in. So even though you need to keep your project going nonstop, you would be much more productive if at the first sign of brain drain, you took a break and did something about it.
Here are some of the signs you might be suffering from brain drain.
-Mental exhaustion.
-Irritation or drowsiness when thinking about what you have to do.
-Putting off certain tasks because they are "too hard to think about."
-Snipping at others who are not moving fast enough.
-Feeling as if the harder you work, the farther behind you get.
-Feeling depressed, stressed out, or as if you can't keep up mentally with your task list.
Here are 10 ways you can beat brain drain.
1.Meditate By meditate, I mean sitting and closing your eyes for 20 minutes or so. Sit still and simply observe the thoughts that come into your mind. Don't try to solve any problems. Just watch and let go.
2. Take A Walk A brisk walk outdoors—especially in a park or someplace you are not familiar with will take your mind off your main task so it can relax. Pay attention to the scenes as you travel. Stop and smell the roses, as the cliche goes. Take a minute to see the beauty of panoramas.
3.Listen to classical music Sitting still with relaxing Mozart or Bach playing through headphones can transcend the brain drain. It will relax you while coaxing your mind to think about other things. (Editor: Here are some free classical music downloads.)
4.Read something entertaining There is nothing like a chapter of your favorite book to take your mind off the causes of your brain drain. Reading is an interactive action, so you keep your mind active, while relaxing at the same time. Tip: Use reading for 10-20 minutes as a reward for 30 minutes of focused work. Use an egg timer to keep track.
5.Reboot your brain with a caffeine nap. University studies show that drinking a cup of coffee and then immediately taking a 10-15 minute catnap gives you an energy boost. This is called a caffeine nap. I've found it works equally well for brain drain. (Just make sure you have something to do when you wake up, because you are going to be ready to rock and roll.)
6.Go to a movie. If you can fit in a two hour movie, at the theater, it is worth the time and money just so you can get away mentally and physically. Sitting in front of the big screen is a great way to take your mind off everything.
7. Listen to motivational CDs This is a tip I picked up from Steve Pavlina. When he's tired from intense thinking, he pops in a motivational CD. Although it might seem like this would be more work, it isn't. By listening, you can relax, and become almost passive, as the ideas and strategies gradually break the drain.
8.Play a sport Studies show that people who do a competitive sport such as tennis, basketball, golf, martial arts, or football are happier overall. To compete in the sport may make you tired physically, but will wake you up mentally. When you wake up mentally, brain drain stops being as big a problem.
9.Break down your project into bite-sized chunks Rome wasn't built in a day. Maybe you are trying to move your mountain in a day too. Take a half hour or an hour to take a close look at your projects. Are you trying to write a novel in one day, when it would be more practical to shoot for three pages of a novel a day? You might be in brain drain because you simply don't have sensible objectives.
10.Play a game Halo 3 players rejoice! Playing a game that gets you away from your draining thoughts is an excellent way to get past the sluggishness. You might prefer crossword puzzles or sudokus if you don't like video games. Either way, playing a game lets you know life doesn't always have to be so serious and focused. Make time for play too!
Remember, the good news is brain drain means you are using your brain at maximum capacity. The bad news is you are not giving your brain needed periods of rest. Rest is important for creative thinking and problem solving. Thus a series of short breaks between your work is necessary for you to work at a high level. So in planning your next intense project, be sure to scatter in several scheduled periods where you can take a break and give your brain some time to incubate.
10 Tips surviving Valentines Day
If you’re attached, keep yourself grounded in this reality and avoid making Valentine’s the tipping point of your relationship.
If you’re single, much as it might seem like the entire universe is celebrating their love on the 14th, they aren’t, and you can’t let your whole emotional world collapse. Love is something to be celebrated all year round.
2. Manage your expectations but most importantly communicate them.
Are you expecting the sun, moon, and the stars even though you’ve only been in your relationship for a short period of time? Does your partner dislike Valentine’s day and hasn’t previously lived up to your expectations?
I’m not suggesting that you remove the element of surprise or spontaneity, but if you’re the type of person that is likely to feel very disappointed if the day isn’t what you expect, it’s time to discuss your expectations so that you can 1) find out if they are realistic, 2) share your thoughts with your partner, and 3) free the both of you to have a day that you can enjoy.
3. Do not create drama or get stressed about it.
It’s supposed to be a celebration of love but it is very easy to ruin the lead up to it or the actual day.
Whether you are the type of person that resents Valentine’s day and feels inadvertently pressured by your partner or the commerciality of it, or whether you’re that person who lives for Valentine’s day and expects a big gesture, if the person you are with is at conflict with your outlook, you will find yourself in the very unpleasant drama zone.
4. Remember that you’ve saved some money and been spared the pain of scratchy underwear and other such tacky gifts.
It can be quite difficult to come up with something original and inspired for Valentine’s day and there aren’t many of us who haven’t had love dice, love cheques, cheap flowers from the petrol/gas station, furry handcuffs etc, never mind paying over the odds to be packed like sardines into a restaurant with a set menu.
It’s not about throwing the cash around if you are attached, and if you aren’t, pat the extra cash, or treat yourself to something nice.
5. Don’t go on a first date.
There is a lot of expectations and unnecessary pressure when you have a first date on Valentine’s. Be very careful of knee-jerking into a new relationship as we make some of our worst decisions when we’re insecure and desperate to avoid singledom.
6. If you’re single, embrace the day and spend it with those that you love most.
Some of my best night outs have been when I’ve been single on Valentine’s. If you’re not the type that can let the day pass without feeling a bit anxious, hang with your other single fri
7. No drink dialing
Do you want to wake up on the 15th with a banging headache and regrets that you’ve made a fool out of yourself calling your ex, or even worse, you’ve slept with them? No matter how horny or sentimental you get, wait till the next day to see if you still feel the same when you’re sober.
8. Don’t seek validation from the day.
If your relationship has issues, gritting your teeth and eeking all of the sentiment out of the day is going to be the equivalent of papering over the cracks of your relationship. Don’t rely on this day to make your relationship but certainly don’t use it as the sole reason to break your relationship either. Likewise if you’re single, don’t think that the absence of a mate or a date invalidates you.
9. Valentine’s day extends to self-love.
As Luther Vandross said “Love the one you’re with” and this time, that’s YOU. V-day spells a great time to evaluate where you are and what you want out of life and your relationships. If there is any overhang from the past, start to deal with it and get happy before you throw yourself back in the dating saddle.
10. Make an effort and small gestures all year round.
If you do this, Valentine’s day won’t feel like guzzling water for the first time after being lost in the desert for a year…

fashion trends..
based on shopcrazy.com
What will stay and finally get written off in 2008? To see the first part of the 2008 fashion forecast, click here.
Keepers:
1. Color-black — this trend together with other graphic prints will continue to be popular.
2. Mini-dress — the 60’s cute minidress is still a hot item.
3. Skinny jeans –as long as models are seen wearing them backstage, they are here to stay.
TIRED TRENDS:
1. Leggings — finally, I did not see a single pair of leggings in any of the major fashion designer shows. After 2 to 3 years in the limelight, it is finally time to give this garment a rest.
2. Grey – grey will never be really out, but since it was such a major trend last Fall ‘07, you may give it a rest for now, unless you pair it with something really bright or printed.
wear sunscreen
..i'm always getting wonderful tips from time to time! why? because once I read some blogs, articles that inspires me...i say to myself "I'LL POST IT TO MY BLOG" , not just to be a copywriter forever.. hahaha.. but to spread some helfpul knowledge from all of you because you inspires me also..
Thanks to my fellow bloggers here who is consitently leaving comments evreytime I post.."I REALLY APPRECIATE IT".. and a warm hugs to all of you to say thank you.... muwaaahhh...
..OK lets go for my post today,this post is come from the article of my teacher M'Chong I already feature her in my blog at WORDPRESS.. she's my best teacher ever...
well just read this first..
*************************
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded. But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine.
Don't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at
4 p.m.
on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing every day that scares you.
Sing.
Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Floss.
Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself.
Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements.
Stretch.
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't.
Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees. You'll miss them when they're gone.
Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else's.
Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.
Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.
Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.
Do not read beauty magazines. They will only make you feel ugly.
Get to know your parents. You never know when they'll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings. They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.
Live in
New York City
once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in
Northern California
once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel.
Accept certain inalienable truths: Prices will rise. Politicians will philander. You, too, will get old. And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.
Respect your elders.
Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund. Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse. But you never know when either one might run out.
Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you're 40 it will look 85.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.
But trust me on the sunscreen.
