My back My brain

17.2.08


Having studied the subject amongst ergonomic subject in my dear college time, i wasn't realized of the real danger and the prevalence of this disease. I'd bumped into those having treatment for such pain, but haven't really had it on top of my head until a week ago a dearest colleague having had to get a full bed rest for almost 2 weeks due to...Back pain.

It's not mere sprained muscle in your back easily alleviated using Salonpas!. It's much more severe than that. It involves the most fragile yet the most important and complex part of our body. Of course! all our senses are hubbed in this elongated lumbar of ours...a single click could mean thousands of nervous jammed. It's the part that keeps our brain-un-scattered, have it integrated to all of our limbs.

After discussing w/ some fellows. I've heard many many many stories of back pain occurring to them, and their relatives and friends. I was not expecting it.
The numbers are staggering: There’s an 80 percent chance that, at some point in your life, you’ll suffer from severe back pain.
Wheeww!! Hell that's such an occurrence, 80%! but then, H o w w e a r e s o f r a g i l e!! Anyway, After several doctor visit and MRI scan, my colleague recognized that some of her disks got broken, in this case, either bulging, protruding, or herniated disks. I wouldn't ask for more detail at that time I asked, though..This case of broken disks occured to 90% of back pain occurance. Having the image of gum leaking outside its borrows screech my teeth. *sigh

It is true to say that the prevalence is getting higher as degeneration occurs in aging people. True. But some of my friends are already having the problem. I'm talking about my twenty-something friends! Hm... What makes this disease is more diffused to more and more young people nowadays?
  1. Of course, the way we work nowadays.9 to 5 sitting in front of the computer,our lumbar disks would get pressure, agitated by the awkward posture we sometimes, or mostly pose. Or perhaps you should contact Health and Safety department of your office, having them change your chair to a more back-friendly version.
  2. You might listen that Cameron Diaz truly digs high heels as they make her thigh leaner. But girls, beauty is pain sometimes! High heels also make this pressure on back disks more severe.
  3. What else? post-labor mummies are also prone to this. It's said that according to Chinese tradition, new mums are supposed to stay on bed for few weeks to gain strength to their back, after laboring.
  4. And daddies? lifting sofas might give you a kick in the back, daddy. Be careful..
  5. Humm Don't We just LOVE MSG!! That devilish Monosodium Glutamat, feels so yummy but do you know that it make your nervous system rigid and less flexible, and hence makes you more prone to nervous system disorder, twitched between the disks of your back, for instance. T_T

One suspicious idea is that this disease is in fact not purely physical. As complex as it was hubbed to our neuron system and brain, some says that sometimes It’s a problem suited for psychologists and neuroscientists, not surgeons. 90% prevalence is that the pain is temporal and the broken disk would alleviate itself after 7 weeks and the patient can go back to their daily life. in 10% it would get worse and more chronic. So, having said the hypothesis, maybe only with the power of mind, about how you perceive the pain, you slain the demon.

Hopefully, having acknowledge he danger and our proneness to this disease would increase our awareness, and hopefully would trigger our prevention act avoiding the same. Sport would certainly help. The most effective perhaps Yoga Pilates...the one that makes you 'fe e l t h e l o o n g o f y o u r b a c k ....' as you heal in and out posing eloquently in cobra-pose... heard that this kind of yoga is focusing on our bones, making our lumbar more energized one time and another,.... or running, swimming and aerobic that it increases the density of your bone..., and adding more back stroke surely would strengthen the muscle of your back, which is equally important as it protects the disks of you lumbar...as buffer to shocks and resistants...

Anyway the ultimate is to know the limit of, to care and appreciate what He has given you out of this precious brief life of ours.....our Body, Brain, and what connects them all, our Back.

And please, tell your most loved ones also, so that they care more...

Covet-worthy stuffs to share...

9.2.08


Malem mingguan.
After some (helluva) time, this saturday nite feels so homey...
Actually tried to be a more obedient child today as usually I'd never been home until late nite on saturday nites--especially when I'm in Bandung like tonite...but tonite, when at least I try, my parents are out elsewhere. so no use. hahaha...

But anyway I've got no rendez-vous tonite..and ermm, so....
Potato couching I am--- let me share covet-worthy stuffs I adore lately...Sorted and sized(!@!) based on interest and frequency of awe-ing. ^^V Hope you like it too...

PHOTOGRAPHY
  1. As usual, kicey's for her magnificent eyes on details and structures, and colours.
  2. Tommy Oshima Pfwwweeeuuhh this guy has always produced great photos, deep divulging emotions and awesome camera skills (as also his collections of large, medium format and astonishing bizzare yet b-aeu-tee--fuulll film pick)
  3. And PujaParakh . I think this lady really got some attitude in her photograph! so unique, original and simply awesome
The fact that the two ladies are autodidact photographers, inspires me in some way. Haha.

WORLD WIDE WEB
  1. Hm..inspired by gallery of pujaparakh, I really want to have the same, so got myself picasa's and gallery template by airtightinteractive
  2. The great mummies website of Karen Cheng's
  3. Planning on next holiday...so lonelyplanet would be one great source of inspiration...*alors, tu veux me suivi?!*
  4. Also! planning my great escape..and future....on eastchance, and all sorta.. *wish me luck!*
  5. Facebook, for definite, running my castle on Knighthood app and poking everyone on the list. Hehehehe. guilty pleasure corrupting my own time on this already brief life time of mine!! OK, friendster is still on the list. With their new app --copycatting the other f**... social networking site.Nice try, keep practicing...
BOOK | The World is Flat, still reading :: MOVIE | Hwang Ji Yi, Juno, The land of women :: MUSIC | Lisa Ono, Michael Frank, Jack Johnson

Hmmm....Realized that It'd been sometime that I stroll through graphic design stuffs. It HAD always been my top priority back then! Hm. Haven't got time I suppose. I missed scritch scratching here and there on my illustrator template, I missed my around the clock mismatching shapes and patterns...uuwwhh.....truly misses it.

anyhow, I did stroll around...and awed --oohh aahh by these indonesian artists! oh how they could be so talented... ;p ika putranto and richard's...looking forward to see them shine in the future!!


Well Let's just continue this loooong looongg saturday nite around the house. doing nothing.

Senseless, as make sense as it senses

7.2.08


what about the city
where traffic is like jam on your bread
where Pb is like daily detergent to your lung
where flood is deluging tide
where emission is like cigars to smoke addict
where sun beam hardly contact the ground
where sun rays diffused by pitching black clouds
where glowing city light hid stars behind
where noice cancelling headsets assuage the surrounding trafic clamor

what about the city
like an affair. not for good but can’t let go
like drug. addictive. but still no good.
like gold cage. stuck in glimmering light.

where all, I mean A L L , make sense.

the traffic jam, the pollution,
the flood, the pollution again, the noise,
all, now makes.... sense.

#$#@!!

Sense...never recall such sense...or have i became senseless...as make sense as it sense.

Oh how I can’t keep bragging...It’s just that we don’t really have choice, do we. What’s with the centralization. Construction, public ones on busway, monorail, flood gateway,

what about them?
if they’re not making traffic cramped up, it would surely make a city more worth to live in, wouldn’t they?

*been now almost a year living in this dreadful city i cannot escape from....

Continuum As Time Can Be

5.2.08


2008

It's not even January.
It's not even the beginning of February.
Have I missed it? Has it been stale?

Awh.

What's with the ultimate count down on 31st Dec?
What makes it different on 12.59.59 that nite with 00.00.01 the next morning?

It's supposed to be mere continuum,

But still, a sense of erase and rewind is what's commonly felt.

the alteration of the year usually become the time when we wrap what we already had at that time,

Start to open a new wrapping sheet,
Design what kinda gift we would want to wrap up in the end of the next termine, the next new year

starting all over again.
Making up our mistakes---well for this one, you'd do it later after life, though. hahhehe

No. It's not erase and rewind. it's erase and forward. It charges new spirit into you.

It was supposed to be the moment when you can stop, asks yourself 'Am I happy?'. Answer,'yes!' and move on. Hahhaa. it's that brief happiness is, as always--doesn't it?. But always worth reminiscing.

***



Me?


Neah, I'm not into those things. I mean planning. hahahaa....Resolution would usually be re-solution for the next round...I never plan my life for a whole one year, Hahha! beat it for those who encourage me to build a 3 years vision and mission. :p I can't make my plan for a year, and you want me to make 3 or 5 or 10 years ?!! You're not getting it! I just can't seem to be able to do it. Not that I don't want to achieve something, the light in the end of the road is somewhat imminent, I know what I'm doing and for what means do I do what I do, now. I know that everyday's a lesson should reflect on yesterday's mistakes and turns downs. I know what I build today is for tomorrow. So do it just right and on my max, coz you can't turn back time. But that's it. As continuum as time can be, I only have past and present. Where my present is better than my past--My future will then lead. Hopefully.





That was about making plan--which I do zilch. nada. BUt on the minutes change of the year, I'd like it to be memorable. Hee hee




  • This year 2008 I was fortunate to have it somewhat great. Awaiting countdown in Asakusa, Tokyo.
  • Last Year, It was truly pathetic, spent the change of the year 2007 in my laboratory, Alone doing my final assignment.crash and burn!!
  • The Year before that, the change to 2006 was also helluva fun. I was on 4 day Ujung Kulon trekking trip, on a grassy field viewing the beach, though alas, on the very minute of 00.00.00, it was raining heavily. So....So long the count down.
  • Changing to 2005...it was that party in LFM.
  • Changing to 2004...err it's getting harder....awI forgot. !!! Oh my. so far is my memory. I can't remember which occasion is when.


I am already sleepy. Betta go to bed now. Hm, One thing for sure. Over the year, my persona has evolved tremendously. Thanks to people surrounds me to whom I respect, love and always learn from. You guys and girls have been inspiration to me..Please stay so. I'm not planning on stop changing--for better me. *hugs everybodaeeeiiii* ..... ^^V OK ok. I'm getting delirious. Bye for now.
