I don’t know about you geniuses out there but when I first heard about Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, I was like Carpal who? Which tunnel where?? I admit, I had no clue what it was! So since I have the Internet within my grasp, I hate not knowing and being ignorant. Some people are comfortable with not knowing but I’m not. So what I did was go to my trusty Wikipedia and searched for it! And wudya knowww… it’s actually a medical condition that affects the nerve that runs down the arm and the forearm.

And what happens is that when that particular nerve (the median nerve) is compressed at the wrist, it leads to pain and muscle weakness in the forearm. And guess what? This occurrence happens to more women than men! Most common cases of CTS occurs when activities are done in a repetitive manner such as typing, mousing, writing, and any other activities that involves the wrists. But before you go on freaking out and telling yourself you can’t do your daily blogging anymore (that’s what I just told myself), you can always get carpal tunnel relief by wearing orthopedic products. And one such product is the IMAK SmartGlove that’s able to protect your wrists and your thumb while you’re at it!

Pretty cool huh? I always tell myself prevention is better than cure. That’s why I stopped smoking. And don’t worry about it cramping your style. Just tell your colleagues you’re going for the Michael Jackson look! Hehe..

Some time ago, I was awarded with this special sacred friendship rose from Quirin. She’s always so sweet and thoughtful when it comes to giving out these awards or gifts. Thanks Quirin! What I like about it is the fact that a poem came with it.. And it goes….

Sometimes in life,
you find a special friend;
Someone who changes your life
just by being part of it.
Someone who makes you laugh
until you can’t stop;
Someone who makes you believe
that there really is good in the world.
Someone who convinces you
that there really is an unlocked door
just waiting for you to open it.

This is Forever Friendship.

This is the sacred RED ROSE.

I’d now like to pass this on to Cindy, Nessa and Shemah. Hope this cheers you girls up!

p/s: Does anyone happen to know what CAT5eis?? Anyone?

For those of you who have just come across my blog, lemme introduce to you guys for the second time, a 100% Free Forum Hosting provider that offers fast servers and unlimited bandwidth. Sounds good, huh? I should probably suggest this site to Sharon, my boss for the articles I write, and change the existing forum we use to Forumity.com. I’m sure she’d find more useful information from their FAQ page. For those interested, check out Forumity.com by clicking on the link below.

I caught my niece, BaBy Allie, having one of her afternoon naps and managed to capture her in this position. I thought she looks so adorably cute!! Don’t you think so?? She has so many other poses while she sleeps and if you’re lucky, you might just catch one of ‘em on my blog again! Hehe..
