I finally hit to the gym today, after a long long hiatus. Mommy, who needs to lose weight more than I do, has decided to accompany me. The two of us shed a total of 164 calories . . . a pathetic rate indeed.

Feeling Miserable

A visit to an Otolaryngologist exactly a week ago left me devastated. What followed were more visits to the clinic to uncover what exactly that has been challenging my health condition, and that involved a minor surgical procedure that was both physically painful and emotionally stressful. Results found that it is not the worst scenario, nevertheless, an operation is expected in the future. For the mean time, I have to endure this uncomfortableness twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, four weeks a month and twelve months a year. I am still at a shaken state and definitely not ready to discuss it in great details at the moment, not even to my own immediate family and close friends. All I know is - gone are the days that I feel carefree like any youngsters - I am not as hale and hearty as I look or imagined to be.

Blogging Poses a Health Hazard

Following the death of two - in fact, almost three bloggers, the third survived a heart attack - US bloggers over the so called 'blog-related stress' (read full in The New York Times), the activity blogging seems to raise awareness as it may pose a health hazard. Dan Fost of The New York Times (link here) expressed that stress raises "when a blogger becomes a name brand".

I think The Straits Times Singapore published an article on this issue today. Apparently, the journalist for the mentioned newspaper asked several well-known bloggers whether they have suffered from 'blog-related stress' and, if I recall correctly, all of these bloggers denied that blogging affects them negatively.

Anyway, what a perfect timing, just when I thought I will resume my blogging activity, not that I think blogging has any hazardous impact on my health. It is ridiculous that blogging has such a damage impact in a person's life.
