There are more and more insomniacs popping up throughout the world recently due to the excessive pressures from either the working or studying environment. Insomnia can be caused by many factors such as anxiety, stress, depression, excessive consumption of caffeine, alcohol or even smoking. An insomniac usually has his mind preoccupied with trying to get more sleep, but eventually the more he tried the more frustrated he would get, thus jumping into more depression. It would be best to seek proper medical advice or get some medical prescriptions for the best sleep aid.
Let’s just do a little test here on how insomniac you are by choosing one answer to the following question. “You are about to go into your dreamland after midnight but a very distracting noise kept you awake. What could that be?”
A. your mobile rang
B. your alarm clock sounded real noisy
C. some strays were having a fight outside
D. the sound of an oncoming bad storm
Scenario A: It indicated how insecure you are feeling now. Most probably you have some unfinished tasks which are getting too near to your deadline. You might possibly get some bad scolding from your boss or even lecturers. Try to be more relax by listening to some slow music. With a more relaxed mind, tasks can be done easily.
Scenario B: Most students who are having an exam or someone who is going to give a presentation or attending an interview the next day. If you think you have prepared yourselves well enough, why worry further about how perfect you are going to be? You have tried your best and the more you fear about it, the more mentally tired you would be and the worst results you would get. Stay cool always and be courageous to face the reality. A mentally stressed mind would never excel in anything.
Scenario C: You just had some relationship issues with someone close to you. It might just be the acceptance of your true self by majority of your superior, subordinates or even friends surrounding you. Stay calm and study deep within your inner self the reason that might have caused the scenario. Do get some advice from people that you can trust and find out the ideal solution to get this out of your mind. By then, life would be brighter for you and everyone near you.
Scenario D: Your inner self would be like a full blown storm with many worries to your expectation in life. Everything and everyone seemed not right and you kept hearing all those voices circulating in your mind finding faults with all your actions. You are not insane as it happened quite often to people who are heavily worked down. The best solution would be to go to a remote and less crowded place to experience the peacefulness of the Mother Nature. Do try to stay calm and feel relax to the utmost before jumping back into your hectic lifestyle.

I was working on a few projects with tight deadlines and suddenly my hard disc decided to create havoc with the appearance of lots of bad sectors. Most of the files I was working on during that one week were as good as useless. No matter what software I had used to recover the data, they did not produce any positive results. Even trying to transfer the data to my backup hard drive was near impossible. It was a frustrating moment for me as the last backup I had done was months ago. I was as good as dead as every work that I had done after that strike remained inaccessible.
In the end, it took me weeks just to transfer any usable data manually to my new backup drive. It was a tedious job as I had hundreds of folders around and each corrupted file within each folder would not allow me to backup my data properly. Luckily my hard disc was still within the warranty period but that would not mean that scenario like this would not reoccur in the near future. There would still be the risks involved in losing important documents.
I was glad I was one of the seasoned workers who could get a job done within the shortest period of time, without even tarnishing the company’s reputation. To me, this experience was a loss to the company’s chances to profit from more projects. Valuable time had been wasted due to a minor overlook on proper backup systems. The company should have taken up the proposed online backup offer a few months back. As a result, I would not have had such chaotic moments recreating all the work I had done.

What do you know about AED? It’s actually an abbreviation for Automated External Defibrillator, a ready to use portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses the potentially life threatening cardiac arrest of a victim. These AEDs often are normally bright in colors and are mounted in protective cases near the entrance of buildings such as corporate and government offices, shopping centers, airports, restaurants, casinos, hotels, sports stadiums, schools and universities, community centers, fitness centers, health clubs, workplaces and any other location where people may congregate.
Why is it so important to have an AED around even in homes and vehicles, especially when a household member is known to have existing heart conditions? It’s useful and handy to carry and you may never know when you would need one around to save the life of a loved one.
The AED would not function as to shock “flat line” patterns. Instead, it would only treat the dysfunctional patterns of the heart as well as the chaotic beating of the heart. Every minute a victim in cardiac arrest gets treated by defibrillation, the chance of survival would increase by 10 percent prior to the arrival of an ambulance with professional help. Won’t you think it’s a great idea to own one around just in case of any emergencies? Nowadays, the price for one is quite reasonable for just any households.

You would ask me why, right? Without a job, how would a person be able to pay his bills and to feed himself well? Don’t get me wrong here as we would still need a job to make a living but hunting for a job has never been easier now than before. Regardless of whichever state you are in the States, you would surely find a job that would suit your requirement. How?

vacation
Having the ability to travel during this festive season can be a privilege for many of us but have you thought of making the lives of many children in your vacation destination happier during this Christmas season? No doubt you can’t bring snow to share with the children from the sunny and sandy beaches of Mexico but you can bring some extra toys or items that could make the less fortunate in Mexico happier, particularly the kids. Whether it’s Christmas or not celebrated in other states in the country, being soft hearted in the needs of other less fortunate would fulfill the sharing and caring of the Christmas spirits.
I would be checking in one of the isla mujeres hotels in Cancun, Mexico this holiday season and I hope I can put some smiles on the faces of some of the Mexican children surrounding the area such as those from Mayan Riviera, Puerto Morales, Playa del Carmen and in Talum as well. Children are the pillars and strength of our future, thus they should also have the privileges of being educated with proper educational items such as coloring books, crayons, markers and anything that would unleash their creativity in building a stronger nation.
While I am there, I surely won’t forgo the beautiful beaches along the coastline of Quintana Roo. Scuba diving would be in my itinerary to explore the wonders of the many coral reefs. Let’s hope I have the luck to encounter the much endangered sea turtle. Of course I also won’t want to miss out my favorite tamales, tortillas and gorditas. I hope I can bear the spiciness of the chipotle, the smoke-dried jalapeño chili more this time.
