How To Maintain Good Health

To be consistently healthy throughout your life, you must maintain certain habits. After all, you can’t assume that you can eat one nutritional meal a week and continue with junk food for the rest – it just doesn’t work like that. 

First, it all starts with practicing better self-care. Make a list of goals of what you feel could be improved when it comes to your mental and physical wellbeing. Next, you must start eating proper meals, get active, sleep enough and even meditate. 

Achieving your optimal health will require you to adopt many habits that benefit you, and not merely one. 

What app to use to preview your artwork on the wall?

I'm trying out this WallApp to preview my art on the wall

What app to use to preview your artwork on the wall?

Hello everyone, wazzup?

I’m a real hard work in progress when it comes to this new found hobby of mine. I know I still got a lot of paint jars to go practicing. But just as what veteran artists would say, constant practice is the key and that’s just what I’m doing. Though I just got so little window doing this between closing codes and household chores but still I find this a calming diversion and a real 180 degrees mood shifter.

This is my latest art work, I call it Charms. Geez! Still got to work harder on my foliage strokes but this is what I call my finished job at this point of my humble skill. I’m proud of my little achievement so I tried swagging it up a little bit thinking how it’ll look on the wall, hahaha!

Why is Cauda Equina Syndrome an emergency?

Cauda Equina Syndrome (CES) is a serious medical condition caused by the compression of the Cauda Equina, a bundle of nerves at the base of the spinal cord. If not treated promptly, it can lead to lifelong health problems, including chronic pain, incontinence and loss of sexual function.

CES is most commonly caused by rupture of one of the lumbar discs that sit between the bones in the spine (vertebrae). Commonly known as a ‘slipped disc’, this places pressure on the Cauda Equina nerves, leading to Cauda Equina Syndrome.

Symptoms of Cauda Equina Syndrome include lower back pain, pain radiating down one or both legs, numbness or weakness of the legs, buttocks or between the legs and issues with bladder control, bowel control and sexual function. CES is often mistaken for other types of back pain, so the other symptoms are often critical for a successful diagnosis.

Opening 2019 with an appeal to cellphone brands and telcos

Happy New Year everyone!

I’d like to thank you all for keeping tabs of my blog the past year. It was a good year for me, my family's been healthy, our not so little business is doing great despite no marketing at all. God, I now understand why a lot of companies do double books for their business. Because when you reach a certain level of amount in your receipts and you need to pay back the government in a ridiculous amount (at least on our level) you feel like, Jesus-am-I-even-benefiting-from-this dilemma, you really want to flip over covers and avoid taxes.

But the good abiding citizen that we are, we don’t want to get into trouble with BIR at this early stage of our operation. So, as painful as poking needle in the eye, we get to pay what’s due the gov. My only consolation is that, I now have the audacity to whine back at our government whenever I feel they’re not using my taxes right. God, you guys better be, my husband spent sleepless nights earning that money.

Grateful for each breath this 2019!

Grateful for each breath

The phrase “Take a deep breath” is misleading. 

The breath isn’t something we can just “take.”

Breathing is a gift, a miracle, offered to us over and over again, yet much like our breath, we often take it for granted right up until the moment we no longer have it. Let’s accept this gift with gratitude and appreciation as we would all presents, by saying, “Thank you.”

Sometimes society can seem disgruntled and ungrateful, and the world may appear to no longer be appreciative, but some of its people still are, and therein lies the promise.

So go ahead … accept a few breaths with your eyes closed and a smile on your face.

What a joy it is to be alive! 

Being content makes poor people rich;

Discontentment makes rich men poor. – Benjamin Franklin

Book Musings: Pachinko - cultural identities, gender norms, women's agency and diaspora

Pachinko by Min Jin Lee

The last time I read a lengthy book was when I gotten hold of Elizabeth Gilbert’s The Signature Of All Things. Then after a long while, this Pachinko written by Min Jin Lee. This has been on my tab for so long already and I thought I should give it a go.

I don’t read book reviews before I actually read it, I just skim on the blurb and that’s it. I feel like it’ll spoil my curiosity and somehow diminishes my interest to start reading it. So in the case of Pachinko, I just went on the backside and started swiping on the 490 pages of it.
