What’s up with our desktop monitor?

I really dunno why our desktop monitor is acting up these days. Our guest here at home is the one using our desktop PC and it’s embarrassing when at times she is so engrossed working at our desktop PC when suddenly the monitor goes blank, and a message flashes before it turns off: “monitor going to sleep”.

This crazy behavior happens at no definite time of the day. It just happens. What do you think??? Could it be some virus? Or could it be that the power management automatically turns off the monitor? Ugh… I am running out of answers. If it were some computer memory issues, I could just have easily solved it with replacing the chip. But an LCD monitor that goes blank on you is just difficult to troubleshoot.

Life-cycle discomforts

Despite being a procrastinator when it comes to having a good diet and maintaining a regular exercise routine, I am still thankful that I am generally healthy. Yup I can say this confidently since I had a general medical checkup early this year, and so far my health is OK according to the doc. The only thing that concerns me is my monthly period which causes me some discomfort and pain, sometimes it’s bearable but other times, I had to rest and refrain from work the whole day. Tsk, that’s part of being a woman, yeah? We will be going through phases like these such as having some bad PMS and other life-cycle changes.

Anyway, some say these conditions are just psychological. Even my mom said she didn’t go through any menopausal discomforts like what others described. Nope, she was not using any progesterone creams or any other medications. She said she went through the phase normally without any symptoms at all. Aside from the so-called psychological aspect as my mom said, being fit and healthy also lessens the possibility of life-cycle discomforts most women experience.

Guilty!

huhuhu… I feel guilty about my diet these days. I have totally ignored my health journal rules and violated some such as the amount of rice I consume for every meal and my water therapy log. Even my hip hop abs dance exercise routine is currently on hold. Yup, my dance partner (cutie sis) is not here anymore so I guess the motivation to go on has waned. With some of the unhealthy food I’ve consumed lately, I could qualify as one of those who need a colon cleanse too. Now I can hear Stephen Covey scolding me for not being proactive about the whole thing.
