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.

Argh what an annoyance.My once in a blue moon postings manifested itself into this this time around. :/
Oh well,hope it helps anyone who might be passing by.Ciaoz~

Excitement
God it has been ages since I've last had this feeling last as long as it does now.It is like this latent part inside of me,has suddenly been reignited,due largely to a nudge I had in the past few days.And yeah..does it feel good.Does it feel good to be back.Does it feel good to be able to feel again this feeling again.Does it feel like something has returned to me.
Yeah I'm once again starting to appreciate the sounds I hear in the music I listen to.
No it is not something so great such that I can discern anything I hear around me clearly note by note and just get inspired or whatever and get all crazy with it or what.I'm not a genius or anything like that.
The thing is..come to think of it..it has been so long since I even pay heed to what I listen to nowadays.The songs I hear..and such..has been like oh it just goes by yeah yeah it is nice to hear oh nice voice stuff like that.
It's nice that now I felt the initiative to actually listen to and at the same time appreciate what I hear..it's like it's exciting once more to hear things like the lyrics,the rhythm,how the melody goes,how a whole song meshes itself together..even until extents where I'd be thinking..how did they do that?That is seriously good..I wonder whether I would be able to produce things like that?How did that ever occur in that person's mind to actually play it that way in that sense?
It's like I can see something magical about music again.
Like the moment when I first strummed the strings of an electric guitar.I remember getting blown away by the distortion I hear..it was something which is completely foreign and alien to my ears at that time..I still remember I was..shocked if you can describe it that way and I just could not describe the sound I heard at that moment.It was that new to me at that moment.I remember thinking.."How could I have never heard this before?They have electric guitars in songs I listened to here and there,no?Then why does it sound so new to me now?"Of course,while I was strumming the guitar in the music shop that night,it sounded horrible to the people around me what with my 'excellent' idea in strumming full,whole chords with an electric guitar on full distortion terribly at that too.But nothing mattered at that moment for me.I was lost in awe.Well I do admit I came back to my senses soon after that and quickly asked for the shop-guy nearby to lower down the volume and switch the amp back to clean. :)
I suppose that thing's like this can be compared easily to any number of things one may have experienced in their lives.Like the moment when a baby first open's his/her eyes to the wide arms of the world..there are so many things assaulting the little ones senses at that single moment that the baby could do nothing but just cry.Like the moment when a person first had a crush on somebody else..it's like all of a sudden the whole world revolves only around that single object of affection.Like the moment when a prisoner on life-sentence who has been kept in a dark danky cell for what seems to him/her like an eternity is suddenly given a chance to take a peek at the outside world with the blazing sun at its full glory.
Well..the point here is,over the many paths we walk in life,we do go into a stump here and there.New things are gained with every step,and some things may be lost too as we journey on in each of our own paths.We could get interested in new things,and we could just as easily lose some things too unknowingly.
Argh shit I just realized the message circles back to this all too common thing I always discuss ONCE again @_@ Gona stop blabbering here before it gets back there. =_="
Ah well for me at least,I'm glad that I've reclaimed this feeling.Hope it stays hawhaw.
What's it gona be then,eh?

Best Feeling in a while
I've just finished watching this certain anime titled Beck Mongolian Chop Squad.
And..SHIT YEAH!! it was friggin awesome it ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well..to lay down some details on it..the gist of the story is pretty simple.First there's this young teenager..who happens to be the kind of kid you might see in your school.You know the nice kid,who gets looked down by others,gets bullied in the process too,have few friends to confide with...you get my drift.Yeah..average kid with above average grades living a kinda uneventful life.
And then one day while he was once again sorting out the hurt which he feels on a daily basis sitting on an unassuming public bench he saw this group of kids abusing a weird dog so his feelings just got out to reach for the poor dog and he saved the dog.
The dog so happens to be taken care by a long-haired guitarist who so happens to be in a band..Yeah the story goes on from there without saying.
We'll see the boy's coming of age story of sorts.His handlings with everyday life,dealings with new found friends,interests in new and resurfaced romantic interests, and..........a NEW FOUND PASSION IN GREAT MUSIC!
Yeah its the transformation of a guy who has learnt how to express himself better with the power of Music.All through adolescence.
What's not to like,eh?
Thumb up for the nice musical references too.
This anime re-ignited my passion haven't had this feeling in years..I NEED TO LISTEN TO MUSIC!It's about time to practice too #_#
