BBQ Party

Yesterday, the boss of Dennis invited us in their small Barbecue Party to have fun together with their other colleagues. His boss was the one who host the party and the idea in going there with their women (wife or girlfriend) came from his wife which made us (women) more enjoyable and had chance to meet them personally. Their house was strikingly beautiful with its mixed modern and old style. When we arrived there, everything was already prepared. Tables covered with white cloth, chairs, foods, drinks and grilling stand with burning coal were already set in the yard where you could find a small pond with different small fishes, outdoor fireplace and some candles, and lanterns on the tree branches. But it took two hours before we started to grill because we needed to wait for their two colleagues who got stuck in traffic jams. But still we had much good time in grilling, eating, drinking and socializing to each other.

MYALGIA

Two days after my training in badminton, I'm still experiencing muscle pain on my arms and legs which I used my muscles  too much  in playing. I can't help it coz it is also part of training. I think my muscles shocked after 5 years of not doing heavy exercise. So, now I know the feeling of having MYALGIA.

Myalgia? It is a Medical term for muscle pain. It  is  most often caused by straining or overuse of a muscle like what I did in the training. It can occur in any muscle group. It can be present in a large number of infectious diseases such as Influenza (the flu) and Lyme disease. Some autoimmune diseases like lupus and fibromyalgia can cause significant muscle pain.

For muscle pain, both rest and exercise are important. Muscle aches from overuse and trauma often respond well to cold and/or warm compresses, massage, and temporary decreased use or rest. Heat, warm baths, massage, and gentle stretching exercises after a rest period should be used as frequently as possible. Regular exercise (slowly increased from very gentle to more vigorous) may help restore the proper muscle tone (walking, cycling, and swimming are recommended).

Muscular aches associated with specific diseases are best controlled by treating the primary illness according to instructions given by your health care provider.

Be Back in Smashing game

Shuttlecock, racket, court,  net. What comes on your mind if you think those things? Yes, indeed! The sport Badminton! Why I'm telling this because yesterday, I had my first training in badminton here in our place. I'm so excited to play again coz  almost five years ago when the last time I played. I started playing badminton when I was 8 yeasr old and now, it's little bit hard for me to play coz my stamina and speed was not like as before and I almost forgot my techniques. Thus, it makes me realize that I need to  regain it and practice more. Perhaps, it's good for my health, mind and body.

Badminton is one of my favorite sports. It is a racquet sport played by either two opposing players (singles) or two opposing pairs (doubles), who take positions on opposite halves of a rectangular court that is divided by a net. Players score points by striking a shuttlecock with their racquet so that it passes over the net and lands in their opponents' half of the court. Each side may only strike the shuttlecock once before it passes over the net. A rally ends once the shuttlecock has struck the floor.It is a game that demonstrates speed, stamina, agility, power and also delicate skills and touches. It is also a game of strategies, tactics and mental fitness. 

This sport was amazed  me especially the speed of shuttle cock, trying to hit it and pass over the net. I like more when you smash the shuttle which you unleash a powerful overhand shot straight to the floor of the opposing court . That way makes  me more competative. It brings great feelings!  Besides that, you give yourself chance to meet other people and be socialize with them through this sport..

Frustration strikes again!

Today, I received a phone call from the company which I sent my application to get a job from them. I was thinking that they can help me to find a job even I don't speak Dutch and have registration to become a nurse here in Holland. Still, it is impossible! It makes me feel  frustrate again. I do really understand that it's hard to live in a country that you dont know their language that's why I put more effort to learn it and get used to it. But still, I want to find a job to make myself busy and the nice feeling  that you can earn money on your own. I know that it's impossible to make things in hurry. I should know how to wait and be more patient to make things in proper. Learn Dutch first and try to enjoy life while  waiting.....  With fruitful result but not passively waiting!

Ignore me or not!

A man is like a cat; chase him and he will run - sit still and ignore him and he'll come purring at your feet. ~Helen Rowland

It makes me feel sad  when someone near to my heart ignore me for the unknown reason. I don't know why and what to do. It's like tearing my heart when everytime she didnt reply to my  messages. I'm trying to please her but still she ignores me. I'm just hoping that  she will realize soon  that I care so much about them especially to her. Even I hurt so much emotionally,  I would not give up preventing my own blood from disease that can put us into death.
