What have I found out..??!!I have a nail disorder!! I was researching on the different weird symptons of my body and I stumbled upon this scientific term - Onycholysis!! Onycholysis is a common nail disorder. It is the loosening or separation of a fingernail or toenail from its nail bed. It usually starts at the tip of the nail and progresses back. What causes onycholysis? Many things may cause onycholysis. Some of the most common causes are: Repetitive trauma, e.g. daily tapping of long fingernails on a keyboard or counter Overzealous manicure, e.g. manicure tools pushing beneath the nail to clear dirt and overuse of nail cosmetics Prolonged immersion of nails in water. Who gets onycholysis and how is it diagnosed? People of all ages, sex and race can get onycholysis, although it is more frequently seen in female adults. Because so many things can cause onycholysis, your doctor may examine you to check for other skin conditions or medical problems such as thyroid disease. If a fungal infection is suspected, your doctor may clip the nail and scrape a sample of tissue from beneath the nail plate for laboratory testing. What are the signs and symptoms of onycholysis? Irregular border between the pink portion of the nail and the white outside edge of the nail when the nail has lifted from the nail bed. Larger portion of the nail is opaque, can be whitened or discoloured to yellow or green. Discoloration underneath the nail may occur as a result of secondary infection. Depending on the cause, the nail may collect thickened skin underneath the edge of its nail plate and the nail surface may become deformed with pits or indentations. It is usually painless as the separation occurs gradually. Pain may occur if nail is further detached from the nail bed as result of trauma or if active infection sets in. OH MY GOD!!! And I even remembered asking a doctor once what was wrong with my nails to look so unusual?!! AND, he merely said they were FINE?~?!!! I must recall who the hell that doctor looked like!!! Crap!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Now that I know the term of the disorder, please dont tell me it is nothing AGAIN!!! THEY ARE SOMETHING!!! ... Sadly, I cannot brush it aside saying that they are just unusual now that I realise that...I have a problem. Posted by dew at

The Gift - All I want for Christmas It seems kind of early to be reading a Christmas story..But it was so sweet..Something I needed at the moment..Then again, I can have a dosage of the sugary sweetness at any point in time.. =) Something that I liked..Probably a little cliche but good enough for a little prologue.. By two little boys who are learning to read, write and spell.. "Dear Santa, We have been good. Zeke wanted to put in very good, but Zack, the conscience, rejected the idea. We feed Zark and help Dad. We want a mom for Crissmas. A nice one who smells good and is not meen. She can smile a lot and have yello hair. She has to like little boys and big dogs. She wont mind dirt and bakes cookys. We want a pretty one who is smart and helps us with homework. We will take good care of her. We want biks a red one and a bloo one. You have lots of time to fond the mom and make the biks so you can enjoi the hollidays. Thank you. Love, Zeke and Zack." That reminds me of how I was back then. Believing that Santa would be here every Christmas, granting that little undemanding wish of mine..hahah..I even made a BIG SOCK for the presents out of our old napkin cloth! (a bigger sock would fit a bigger present!hahahh!!) And thereafter, conspiring with my bro to make my dad buy into the we-didnt-know-he-is-santa idea when we were slightly older by pretending to sleep at Christmas Eve and telling him all about our wishes way before Christmas to give him more time to get the right gifts! hahha! Smart and shrewd for little kids ya..hahha!! Those were the fond memories..White lies that brought us lots and lots of joy..The unwrapping of gifts (despite knowing what they are) and the little 'performance' we will stage before Christmas to build up the mood and anxiety before the actual day..haha! And not to forget the little channel of communication that it had constructed for us..writing little notes to convey our wishes.. The most ridiculous happened when I re-used that little notewriting trick even at the end of Sec 4 before JC..asking for a handphone..How silly was that..hahha.. I think I wrote something like.. "Dear Santa, We would like to handphone as our Christmas presents. We would be grateful that you could grant our wish... Hugs, Binjuan and Changyan" Fearing that dad would think we had only asked for one handphone, we went back to insert a '2' and a 's' for the handphone..HAHAHHAHAHA!!! Alright..I was just plain dumb and childish..hahahha.. Thank you, Dad! You are Great! I guess I would continue this little trick when I have kids too! Not a Christian, but it definitely brings out the Christmas atmosphere!! **I shouldnt have stayed up till this late again..My stomach is making a hell lot of noise..AGAIN..I should have learnt my lesson..Gosh..**

The first draft that I have typed for this entry miraculously disappeared.. Oh well.. How big a deal can it be than the promises I have made for myself. The reply for the review is out..Nothing has been changed.. And I wrote an email to my lecturer..hoping that he could explain to me the mistakes I have committed so that history will not repeat for my follow-up module. I do not deny that my heart froze as I read the email repeatedly to ensure that I was reading the message accurately..I took time to absorb what I was seeing..The feeling where you sat there staring at the screen, scrutinising every single word in the paragraph and feeling like a zombie thereafter..Where you would like to tell someone but you knew it was futile to say anything..Nothing more to say..Don't know what to say..Who to talk to..How to begin..How to end the conversation..Knowing that your friend would be tongue-tight..And the dead silence..mourning over the death of the child you have been trying to raise. ... Indeed, there is nothing to talk about. It is history. Look forward, my dear. There are work to do. D+ is not an end to itself. I can remedy it and I will! Self reflections Weakness 1) No determination 2) No consistency 3) Procrastination 4) No planning 5) No goals The Promise to Myself MY GOALS 1) A's for ALL!! Solution: Start EarlY!!!, Consistency (Revision), Enthusiasm, Planning (Tests, Projects, Revision, Exams) 2) STUDENT EXCHANGE IN NEW ZEALAND! I know you can..Achieving the first goal will attain the second goal! It can be done. This will be the testament of my promises. I will accomplish it and add on to this by the end of november. The results in December will mark my feat! I am sick of being a weakling! Stand up dude! Posted by dew at |
