If you spend an average of 3 hours doing computer-related projects or just hanging out in your social networks - consider yourself one of the heavy Internet users. Damn it! But the Internet is my business; my career… Can I do anything about it? Hmm, I think I know what you are thinking. And I have a feeling that it’s not a good idea. Haha.
So do you usually resort to using electronic media such as the Internet and TV (shows), to put you to sleep? Well, I do. Almost ALWAYS. But do you know that studies (through survey) show that those geeks who spend more hours in front of the computer monitor or TV screen are most likely to feel exhausted than the ones who skip the usual routine of a zombeeyotch. Haha.
“While many people use electronic media, such as the Internet, it should be noted that the longer media use before sleep can trigger (self-perceived) insufficient sleep,” lead researcher Dr. Nakamori Suganuma, of Osaka University, Japan, told Reuters Health (please read).
Self-perceived insufficient sleep doesn’t refer to the duration of sleep, it is the quality of sleep. It means you often feel that you are not getting enough shut-eye compared to those who religiously hit the sack on time, even if you were able to complete 8 hours of sleep.
Ohhh…so that’s why. Truth is, due to my abnormal physical capabilities, I don’t get to feel tired even if rarely get 8 hours in bed. Well, I sometimes spend more than 10 hours lying down and half the time, I am wide awake. In my experience, an undisturbed sleep is more attainable when drunk. And I rarely binge on booze. Haha. Because I rarely drink these days.
Oh well, I have to cure my insomnia first before staying away from the computer for good. Just kidding! As I’ve said, my career is online and on THE line, if I’d do that. Haha. Plus, I’d be missing a lot.
Aww, I’d be offline for days. But I’d be updating you via Twitter (I hope). 
And please do update back or else…
I got this e-mail a few days back from a friend. Instead of forwarding it to friends who may be needing a little help getting over the their past relationships, I am posting this for everyone - just in case, you know, the world suddenly stops when he/she storms out of your life. You never know. So why don’t you try reading and absorbing this simple and direct tips to eschew tripping over heartaches - it might come in handy.
5 Worst Post-breakup Behaviours
Five post-breakup behaviours to avoid by Laurie Frankel, author of the It’s Not Me…It’s You! A Modern Girl’s Guide to Breaking Up (Sourcebooks Hysteria, 2004) offers these five post-breakup tips.
1. Do not initiate or respond to any contact with your ex
Frankel says “Once you’ve had your 12 ending e-mails and five final phone discussions…guess what? You’re done. Give hope an inch and you’ll be back in bed with your ex in no time…great in the moment, lousy the moment after.”
2. Don’t prolong cynical thoughts
Emotions like anger, sadness and blame are unavoidable but consistently asking yourself why the relationship soured will not give you peace or courage to get on with your single life. “Be good to yourself,” says Frankel. “When a negative thought cycle begins, notice it, acknowledge it — then end it. Call a friend (for support).”
3. Get rid of objects that remind you of your ex
That pillow case that smells like his hair; those photographs of your trip to Niagara Falls — get rid of them. “We humans endow things with meaning and the longer those meaningful things are around, the longer you will take to heal and move on,” says Frankel. “Every time you come across an item…it picks at the wound.”
4. Refrain from stalking
If monitoring his every move has become your favourite pastime, you need to put down the binoculars and force some distance between you and your ex. “If you still have mutual friends, resist grilling them for an update. Third-party information just sets the healing clock back to zero,” says Frankel.
5. Don’t jump into another relationship too soon
“Give yourself some time to attend to your wounds and reorient yourself,” says Frankel. Seeking comfort in the arms of another soon after a breakup is not fair to both parties as emotions are running high and you both may have different agendas as to how serious things could get.
If revenge seems irresistible, Frankel warns that it’s just a hostile feeling and not reality. Expel those negative vibes by talking to a trusted friend or therapist and hit the gym for a stress-busting workout. Remember: you are not in this alone — you are surrounded by friends and family who have, at one time or another, experienced the same situation and can offer a shoulder of support.
This is how to deal with it, apparently, there is no better way. It’s hard to do at first, but you can do anything with enough determination, right? And please, if you think you are dangerously close to being a monster ex, nix that attitude ASAP.There are some things which I don’t exactly agree with, but well..you have to figure it out yourself. I think you’ll soon find out the best way to cope up. I found mine. My God, it’s been over a year!Don’t I deserve more than just congratulations? Haha. Right now, I’m okay with him still texting me, with him still checking out my profiles, with him still asking me questions that shouldn’t come up anymore —I’m now 100% okay with this. I’ve always been okay withj it. I was never the guilty one for letting go. Actually, I just chatted with him over YM before I started blogging (haha) and it’s no big deal anymore. What’s the use of fussing over things like this, right? Ha! I told you, I am so hard to get over with! You could have listened. Nyahaha! Peace out.
And oh, remember… it’s just a state of mind. Like Dr. Burke said, you would only be able to forget,if you try.
I never blogged to target the best contextual ads and make it appear on my webpage. I’ve never experienced blogging for money, that is. Well, my dummy (oops) PHP sites used to get profit from Adsense before I stopped renewing them - but never with this blog site. Not only do I get less time to monitor and update it, but I do, admittedly, slack off at times. Look, I only show ads on the sidebar and I pinched out the rest. As much as possible, I want to remove all the clutter from this site. I don’t even have time to spare for website promotion and I am not taking site optimization seriously nowadays. Why? Because my site is already optimized! Haha! Promoting it, however, is simply not the bull’s eye. If you want to maximize profit from your blog, read this article from Maxpower. The fresh interest-focused blog which I am currently setting up, would be my guinea pig! Haha! But of course, it would contain mostly of me - still with my conversational blogging approach. I would never post anything which doesn’t need and get my attention. It’s more of a collaboration of rants and raves. Haha! ^_^ So if you simply want to know what keeps me busy, you can just check that out. But if you really want to know me, this is the place to be.
Hmm, someone asked me if I really laugh whenever I type common chat expressions such as “haha” “lol” or the random goofy smileys - the answer is: YES. And that’s because I am a real crazy person. And I know I have been away from chat rooms for a very long time, because when someone commented on my karaoke video with WTG with a glittery picture - I was suddenly left dumb-founded. What was that?! Was he cussing?! Is it synonymous to WTF=WHAT THE FUCK? So maybe it says, WHAT THE GROSS? Haha! So I looked it up and felt relieved. Thank God that he meant to say WAY TO GO or else he’d be dead by now. I didn’t even know what LMAO meant until Ryman told me. Wait, what was that again?
Whether you’re blogging for profit, for fun, or both… here’s what I want to say to you - WTG Bloggers! I learn something new everyday because of you. I guess my role is just to give essential discoveries/insights in life which you can also take with you whenever you please.
