Signs of Aging

I’m slowly recovering from a migraine attack as I write this. I’ve been doing my best to stay hydrated, but the heat lately has been relentless. 

This morning, after taking a shower, I noticed something I wasn’t quite ready to face: hair loss. Not dramatic, not alarming… but noticeable. The kind that makes you pause for a second longer in front of the mirror. I guess it’s time to finally invest in Minoxidil. I refuse to give up on my dream of becoming a proper silver fox someday.

As if that wasn’t enough, I also had a small reality check last Saturday. I went out to Obar, fully intending to enjoy the night like I used to—but I didn’t even make it through the second set. At some point, my body just said, “That’s enough,” and honestly, I had to listen. It’s a strange feeling, realizing that stamina isn’t what it used to be.

I suppose these are the subtle signs. Not loud, not dramatic—but persistent. The kind that reminds you that your body keeps score, whether you pay attention or not.

So here it is: a simple reminder to myself. Take care of your body. Rest when you need to. Stay hydrated. Maybe don’t push too hard trying to prove you can still do everything you used to.

WIFI Dependent

It's Friday night! The weekend has officially began for most us. No matter how you want to spend it I wish you had a great time. Technology is such a wonderful thing. It has our lives a lot easier and comfortable. We can talk and connect to love ones even though they are far away from us. More than a dozen tools now fit on the palm of your hand. There are downsides of course and one of them is our dependency to WIFI. I just don't mean internet access, what we "need" is fast internet access. I have very limited internet access right now and I was surprised at my frustration and anger. I need for my work and I wasn't getting my work done because of internet problems. I realized how dependent I was. I think I need to change my attitude and perspective on these sort of things. Especially in channeling my frustrations. How about you what do you do when there's no wifi?

Ratchet: My Favorite Autobot

Image
  As a kid born in the 80’s, I grew up watching Transformers G1 cartoons. It has made an impact in my life that I decided to dedicate the month of March to be a Transformers theme month. Expect for the blog posts to be related to Transformers for the whole month. According to TFWiki, in most of his incarnations Ratchet is the Autobots' Chief Medical Officer. There have also been a lot of interpretations to his personality from having a party-loving nature with a dry wit to a war veteran scarred by the brutalities of war.  I always wanted to be a doctor when I was a kid and while kids would often choose Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, or Grimlock, I would choose Ratchet and since no one chose him I felt he was my Transformer.

Importance of Therapy

My life has been for the most part an adventure, but like most adventure there are hardships and challenges so it's inevitable that you take some damage and trauma along the way. Sometimes you need help in dealing with this issues and that's where the experts come in. I have been in therapy for a long time but thankfully now is more for catch and monitoring rather than the more serious stuff. Here are some things I have learned during my therapy sessions You have to do research on your therapist and it's okay to change if you're not comfortable with him/her. I had a couple of therapists over the years, some were good and others not so much. They have their own areas of expertise and there's nothing with finding them out. Don't also feel guilty if you need to change therapist for variety of reason. The priority is your mental health. Be honest during therapy. I cannot emphasize this enough. Your therapist is not a mind reader if you are not honest or open to your...
