Recap

Well..if I hadn't stopped myself to just think for a moment,I would have nearly forgotten bout this.

It's been a year plus,around 1 year n 2 months since I've started typing out some of the stuff that I so happen to type out when I stare at the emptiness I see whenever I clicked on 'New Post'.

Yeah fast forward to now and I now have..40ish posts in my blog!



Umm yeah I do admit that I am at fault when it comes to posting some stuff which is really simply stupifying.

And yeah I am also at fault for being a usually(veryy subjective though I guess it's all against one in this matter arghh I can feel the piercing ALWAYS coming from wherever it came from!) latent blogger who seems not to care much about the upkeep of my blog.

But what I can say is,I DO try my best to come up with interesting ways to put forth some of the things I decided to share with the masses..trying to make things fun now n then(with some lapses of monotonous ramblings in between please don't shoot me!).

And I seriously do not know how many people actually drop by to read my blog,for I did not really share my address with many of my friends..only told a few of them personally bout its existence.So it's really nice to know that some of my other friends managed to link up somehow.And yeah to those out there whom I do not know of personally who happen to be passing by,thanks for the visit/s really appreciate it.

Yeah I would like to reiterate what I mentioned in my first posting.Any comments/opinions/criticisms are welcome so that I can learn more in the process to come up with better ideas and better ways to present it too.It would be nice to learn of other views too from other perspectives.

Once again I would like to sincerely thank all those who've come and gone here and there now and then to visit my humble blog.I plainly do not care to put any counters or whatever to count your numbers,but yeah,I hope that I can come up with more interesting postings in the future for all those who happen to be here,no matter the amount.

Here's a toast from me for a resolution of sorts(though I detest resolutions).More postings FTW!

(Delayed the posting of this post for so long =_=")

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

I've always realized that I've been having sumkinda swollen thing at the area on my palm slighty below both of my thumbs starting from about a month ago.Little did I realize that I'm actually having carpal tunnel syndrome.

Yeah..you heard that right.Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.



At first..there was cause for me to panic of course.I mean..it'd be just darned troublesome for me to carry out my daily activities with this ailment troubling me..what..it even takes effort to turn open a simple bottle cap what with the pain of the swollen area!

And I even realize my pick/plectrum wielding thumb has this slight pain if I gripped it too hard.Heard last time that even Mike Einziger the guitarist from Incubus had the same problem.And it took effort for him to recover.What a stupifying annoyance.

Well at least it's a bit of a relief to know that it's a common problem affecting many people around the globe.(Yeah I'm evil fearrr me kekeke XP) Back to earth well I found out that the problem mainly occurs due to the compression of a certain nerve found around our wrists called the median nerve.Which then leads to pain,numbness or muscle weakness in your hands..yeah it's not necessary for the wrist to actually feel pain for you to be having Carpal Tunnel Syndrome!Used to joke with Samuel that one day I'll get this due to my games-playing and guitar-playing.Turned out to be very real high risk factors.Yeah..it is seriously really funny how people know of things and yet are not bothered with it.Perfect eg.ME.



Nway after some simple detective work around the net..what with the stuff I have read online..I do hope that my condition isn't that severe yet until the point of requiring surgery.Well..it seems that the situation is still under control.And I find it funny to feel slightly glad that my right-hand mouse wielding hand is the one suffering from more pain.Since if any surgery occurs,it won't affect my left hand which is of more significance to me as a guitar player.(What kinda logic is that? my right hand is the 1 with more strength/more used for daily activities =__=")

Well nway I found a great link here which should be of use for those who are interested in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome care.

Oh well,hope it helps anyone who might be passing by.Ciaoz~
