10 things to make you a better person

August 31st, 2008

1.
Always make time to talk about how your day went. Even ten or fifteen
minutes spent in conversation can help the two of you stay in touch and
feel closer.

2.Understand that there
IS such thing as a good argument. As long as honest feelings were
expressed and eventually understood, and as long as there was some
conclusion where both partners believed that something was
accomplished, then you had a successful argument. Extremely abusive
language, sustained hostility, or open threats are NOT part of a good
argument.

3. Don’t forget to
maintain the "little courtesies", such as saying "please" and "thank
you" and generally showing respect and recognition for everyday things.

4. Never rely on your partner (or anyone else) to make you happy. Only you can do that.

5.
Do not assume that your partner will automatically know what your
feelings, needs, wants, and preferences are, or what mood you are in.

6.
In a healthy relationship, both partners are always growing and
improving. Healthy relationships should bring out the best in us. They
should inspire, motivate, and enhance our creativity and well-being.

7.
Learn how to accept the natural ups and downs of a relationship.
Nothing is perfect, and love will always be accompanied by a certain
amount of hurt, tension, frustration, misunderstanding and jealousy.

8.
Recognize some of the differences between males and females. MEN: Women
enjoy conversation, communicating in groups, and expressing detail
verbally. Men enjoy variety, respond well to good-natured challenge,
and place a high value on personal space and privacy.

9.
Every relationship can benefit from a periodic change of pace. Try a
new restaurant. Take a trip to a nearby location chosen at random. Rent
a hotel room even if you have privacy at home. Experiment with fantasy.
Learn how to be playfully unpredictable. Creativity will keep a
relationship fresh.

10. Give
yourself reinforcement after you have successfully tried one of the
techniques to improve your relationship, even if the outcome was not
exactly what you wanted. It is very important to be "self-rewarding."

LUMBAR INSTABILITY

August 2nd, 2008

I just want to share to you guys that as of 9:00 am of Wednesday, July 30, I was diagnosed with LUMBAR INSTABILITY. Meaning that one of the 3 columns of my spine has been damaged. Damn. How did that happen? IDK. Hehe. Could be the result of my  prolonged sitting infront of the pc all day. HAHA! or, bad posture cos I’ve been slouching for ages. Hmm. I’ve been complaining this lower back pain (right side) for almost half a year already. At first they thought it was kidney stones cos they suspected it to be flank pain..but they were wrong. The doctor suggested that I have it checked by a Chiropractor or have it rehabed. But since I was taking painkillers that time, I immediately thought that after the pain was gone, I’d be okay. WRONG! I became dependent to it that I forgot to have it checked by the Chiro. Hehe. With that tiny mistake, here I am, complaining backaches every night. I swear I was crying last Friday cos it was that painful. Also, I thought my kidney stones recurred. Hmm. Doctora-pretty-handrwiting said that it wasn’t flank pain (symptoms of kidney stones) although they did see blood in my urine but because I was expecting my menses, she said that I have a repeat urinalysis after I have my period. Haaaay. And she said that there’s no reason for me to not have my therapy sessions now that it’s clearly obvious on my x-ray sheets that my lumbar is, well..unstable.

I Googled LUMBAR INSTABILITY  awhile ago and it scared me.

"Clinical instability
            of the lumbar spine associated with fracture/dislocation is well
            recognised and usually requires surgical intervention. Orthopaedic
            surgeons, medical practitioners and physiotherapists have long
            realised that a less severe form of instability exists which can
            cause debilitating symptoms, while not displaying the dramatic
            neurological implications that are associated with
            fracture/dislocation."

TAENA HA. surgery?! :( Haaay. Sana lang therapy lang tlga makakagamot nito. PRAY FOR ME GUYS. Thanks!
