Back-pain relief

Often work in front of the computer. Sitting for almost a whole office hour. There got to be back-pain or neck stiff haunting you (us, you can say so!) I work on my laptop almost everyday, recently. And unfortunately, I rarely got myself exercised. I believe that most people have similar problems. I always tried myself to join a yoga class on Sunday morning, but it never works. Thus I look for video to do it myself in my room.

The following videos are some tips to release the upper-mid back to avoid the pain. I got them from youtube, so simple, easy and trust me it works!

Try the other ones as well..

This is a twisting exercise..

For women, the body shape is one of our asset. Maintaining our body shape by keeping our back and shoulder straight to have a maximum mobility should be one of our concerns. When we are sitting, walking or standing, we should keep our body up. It may avoid the pain as well. Have a try!

Cheers,

"Ketika Seorang Wanita Menangis"

Jika seorang wanita menangis dihadapanmu,
Itu berarti dia tak dapat menahannya lagi.
Jika kamu memegang tangannya saat dia menangis,
Dia akan tinggal bersamamu sepanjang hidupmu.

Jika kamu membiarkannya pergi,
Dia tidak akan pernah kembali lagi menjadi dirinya yang dulu.
Selamanya….
Seorang wanita tidak akan menangis dengan mudah,
Kecuali didepan orang yang amat dia sayangi.
Dia menjadi lemah.
Seorang wanita tidak akan menangis dengan mudah,
Hanya jika dia sangat menyayangimu,
Dia akan menurunkan rasa egoisnya.
Lelaki, jika seorang wanita pernah menangis karena mu,
Tolong pegang tangannya dengan pengertian.
Dia adalah orang yang akan tetap bersamamu sepanjang hidupmu.

Lelaki,, 
jika seorang wanita menangis karenamu.
Tolong jangan menyia-nyiakannya.
Mungkin karena keputusanmu, kau merusak kehidupannya.
Saat dia menangis didepanmu,
Saat dia menangis karnamu,
Lihatlah matanya….
Dapatkah kau lihat dan rasakan sakit yang dirasakannya?
Pikirkan….
Wanita mana lagikah yang akan menangis
dengan murni, penuh rasa sayang,
Didepanmu dan karenamu……
Dia menangis bukan karena dia lemah
Dia menangis bukan karena dia
menginginkan simpati atau rasa kasihan
Dia menangis,
Karena menangis dengan diam-diam tidaklah memungkinkan lagi.

Lelaki,,
Pikirkanlah tentang hal itu
Jika seorang wanita menangisi hatinya untukmu,
Dan semuanya karena dirimu.
Inilah waktunya untuk melihat apa yang telah
kau lakukan untuknya,
Hanya kau yang tahu jawabannya….
Pertimbangkanlah
Karena suatu hari nanti
Mungkin akan terlambat untuk menyesal,
Mungkin akan terlambat untuk bilang
‘MAAF’!!

...quoted from a status of a friend of mine...

8395 days of life

Unlike friend, boyfriend, or girlfriend, family has no end!

They will protect you whenever, however, and in whatsoever situation..

They will create an atmosphere with love and warmth..

They will find and pull you up whenever you feel down and worthless..

They will ask you many things, but later give you a bright side,

that you will eventually find a silver lining in every cloud..

Family,,

will keep me on the tracks, that I am not struggling for my self, but

I have my precious ones, my brotherhood, my nation and nationality

to see and enjoy my victory in the end..

It is not about a bid or a race but a game of life..

It is not about how to treat our own selves as the only one who should enjoy the living..

That they will support..

That they will rely on their part of future..

That they would like to see us secured..

I love you all, my precious ones..

Regards,

Quel Cadeau Doux

It was months ago, when you firstly told me that you want more from this friendship; relationship. We promise to maintain this just the two of us and believe in each other. We have passed through quite long and hard way so far. Now, that we are separated by distance and time, encourage me to be tougher.

It's been about 3 months ago that you're leaving. I know that I can always rely my trust on you. Even though your attitudes got me annoyed and vexed once in a while, it's always been splendid filling my days with you..

November 30th, 2011...

A postman gave me a post card, he said that it was from Japan. What a sweet one (^_^)

I don't understand neither hiragana or katakana at all. You said that it's just a couple symbol. However, I wouldn't just give in, that I asked my sister to decipher it by asking her teacher. And she told me that it is written "Ganbatte kudasai!". I doubt it still, anyway... =P

Happy monthiversarry... (^_^)

Simple yet cute digital frame...

I have loads of photographs in my HD. Since it will use loads of frames to display them, I was thinking of buying it couple months ago. I delayed it yet. Never thought that I will get it from you..

Well, no wonder that we kinda have millions captured memories.

I knew that u love making surprises, and are unpredictable. Never thought that you'll be that romantic... :")

Time and distance, hopefully they would never got us separated... Many crazy and amusing things we've done. Many hilarious stories we keep, awaiting to share. The untold stories. May Allah keep this feeling right on its track!

The wood-fragrance and those lovely "story-boards". There is one more, yet I didn't take the pic yet, a black sweater. Even though, it was pretty shocking that I had to pay a certain amount of money to take the package, they simply depicted how this feeling flows.

Je suis tres amoureux de toi..

au revoir.. ^^

Live for an experience

"..every girl will marry her father..."

I read it this morning on the status of a best friend of mine. It may sound crazy but it is! I do agree with that.


It's not about a such thing like "incest", but a tendency. It came from her daily experiences that she lives in a family which consists of a mother, father and siblings (or there are probably some others). Once, she found it happy, hilarious, and joyful living in that family, a girl tends to keep it until she has her own family.


If a girl thinks that her mother's way of growing children up was smart and lovely, she will go with it as well. Also, when a girl sees that her father is a great man to live with, I bet she will look for another man alike for her future.


Nonetheless, in some cases, it makes sense that a girl will try to find a man who has a different characteristic to her father. It is probably not the whole character, but none's gonna fall into the same hole. We obviously look for a betterment.


The same way comes with the man. I found an article that instead of her personality or appeals, one of many factors that a man loves a girl is that she seems like his mother. I asked to my friends as well, he finds it more enjoyable to be with a girl who has a sense of his mother.


Well, those are my point of view. And, indeed, it depends on yours. Do you wanna "marry with" your "mother" or your "father"??


Love ♥♥

Pre-Madness Syndromes

"Baby, why didn't you return my calls?? Where have you been? Don't you know that I worried bout you....!!"

Yeah, it probably belongs to a part of convo, a girl was demanding her bf to confirm. She was so worried and emotionally asking her bf for his explanation. Due to the bad situations, their mood swings or business among them, they felt upset and finally mad at each others.

There's a moment when everybody has a really bad feeling for their business, problems and has full activities during the days, then it may affect on their attitudes towards other persons. Perhaps, it's only a matter of misunderstanding or miscommunication. They feel so burdened so that they don't feel like talking to others.

I have experienced the same problem as well. Due to a lot of thoughts and tasks to do among us, my bf and I emotionally were fighting. As a girl, I realize myself that I have a certain period when I feel so dropped, sensitive and distressed even though there is no problems during the days. It happens to me every month, couple weeks before the "red-day". At first, I didn't consider it. Yet, it's getting worse few months lately, I started to remark the time and try to control my self. That was so called "Premenstrual Syndrome". Since I am a bit bothered by this habit, I searched for its explanation. Here it is...

Premenstrual syndrome occurs during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. This phase occurs immediately after an egg is released from the ovary and lasts from day 14 through day 28 of a normal menstrual cycle (day 1 is the day your period begins).

During the luteal phase, hormones from the ovary cause the lining of the uterus to grow thick and spongy. At the same time, an egg is released from the ovary. If the egg meets sperm, it may implant in the lining of the uterus and grow. At this time, the level of a hormone called progesterone rises in the body, while the level of another hormone, esterogen, begins to drop. The shift from estrogen to progesterone may cause some of the symptoms of PMS.

• Some medical professionals believed that changing progesterone levels alone could account for a woman’s mood, behavior, and physical changes during the luteal phase (or second half) of the menstrual cycle.
• Women develop deficiencies in a part of their nervous system called the endorphin (feel good hormones) system. A small amount of these "feel good" endorphins usually circulate in the body, but these levels drop during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle.
• Fluid overload may cause some of the symptoms of PMS, especially swelling and weight gain, and may also aggravate some negative self perceptions and thus worsen emotional symptoms at this stage
• Diet may also be a factor in PMS. Episodes of low blood sugar may contribute to both crying spells and the irritability that are part of PMS. Additionally, low levels of vitamin A, vitamin B6, and vitamin E may play a role in PMS.
• Hormonal cycling also affects the level of serotonin, a brain chemical that regulates many functions, including mood and sensitivity to pain.
• Prostaglandins, produced by the areas where PMS symptoms originate, which may play a role in problems such as cramping, breast tenderness, gas, diarrhea , and constipation.
• Family history is often a good predictor of the probability of premenstrual syndrome; studies have found that the concordance rate is two times higher among identical twins compared with fraternal twins. Thus, when one twin has PMS, the other one could also has one.
• Stress may precipitate condition and Increasing age

Ahh..yeaahh..they obviously make sense. There are many of chemical process in our body. It relates and affects on each others. However, I looked for the prevention treatment as well. Hope this is fruitful...

We may need to try different medications before you find one that works. Medicines may not completely relieve all the symptoms, and they are not always necessary. Lifestyle changes can probably help.

Changes in diet and exercise are usually recommended first. Eat a well-balanced diet and avoid salt, candy, and sugary foods during the week before your period. While it may also help to avoid caffeine, going on and off caffeine during the month may be difficult. You may have to cut out caffeine completely if it seems to contribute to your symptoms. Small, frequent meals during the premenstrual week may help keeping blood sugar at a steady level and reduce cravings. Keeping a consistent exercise program may also improve your well0being throughout the menstrual cycle.

The last but not least, try to maintain our communication to God. Whenever and however we feel so down, run into Allah SWT, the one and only to complain. Ask for HIS guidance and protection so that we will always be under-controlled.

As for someone who might be one of my victims due to PMS..I ask for your tolerance.

E.G.O

I actually didn't want to post it, but I have to.. I need a space to empty my mind, thoughts, and worries in some particular moments...

I don't like to junk, or post this kind of writing, yet I have to.. I'll be hurt of not throwing this kind of feeling, stuck in my mind...

I don't like to get into this weakness, for I should have had you.. I could be strong even though for God sake, I am a woman still...

I hate to say that I am sorry for the inconsiderable deed I did to you, though you should have known this wasn't done without any consideration..

I hate to say that I need your understanding for several things I only could say without words but affections, dunno if those were kinda disturbance..

I hate to say that somehow I think I'd like to quit yet I knew myself will refuse it for I already find it right with you..

I need to say that I have an EGO still, to differentiate..that I am a woman..

I need to say that I could give the thing that I also want it from you in return..

I need to say WE are willing to be understood..

With love,

Women

Long lonely road

It sometimes comes in mind,

Human live in the world for their own sake,

for their own goal, afterlife..

it suddenly appears in mind,

People live, later, to have a struggle for their aims,

in their own ways, theirselves...

When the dark is coming, and no other places to run..

There is only a way to share, for contemplation

there is nothing appropriate to make reasons

there is none of them who fits for this turn..

Yet, there should be only once

For I realize that love has no reasons

how butterflies fly around in stomach,

happen inexplicably..

like in your sight which is extraterrestrial

look in your total supports which mean a lot

as I love the way you make me laugh..

For every beautiful things occur,

those may always be remarkable..

over and over again..

Feminism: Is it truly worshiped?

Whoohoo..
Do not think that I am feminist! I'm just an ordinary girl, trying to make something extra-ordinary. I'd love to observe things, see thoroughly into anything in my surroundings. Sometimes, asosial though. However, I'm still a woman, who has an integrity of being a female. Dealing with this, I saw that in some cases, a girl is just a simple joke, to amuse and entertain people. Wow..that's hardly funny right?!

I remember one of my friends said that in Al-Quran, it's true that a female is represented by a field/garden and a male is represented by one who work on it. In addition, he added that nature is identified with female, whilst social and culture is identified with a male. Hence, for everything happen to nature, it's all about social and culture who draw on it. However, it's inappropriate to have female as the model of everything happen to colour social and cultural phenomena.

I personally disagree with them. JOKE about female's things are a lot. PICS, Videos, Ads (focusing on female's sacred things) or any violances-happen-to-females could be accessed in ease. In the other hand, there are some people talking about gender equality and feminism..wow!! So ironic; that it will be very difficult to change a person mind-set about female.

Hmm..I've been talking too much..no offense no war, it's about a set of my ideas. Hope that today was a present for tomorrow's provision. Love and peace.. ^^
