Truth about online gaming addiction

Online games these days are abundant. It has becoming an addiction among innocent young people. And not only young ones even adults. The problem is not restricted to young people and we all know that also parents are hooked on these things.

I want to share this article because I myself have a loving husband who happens to love or became hooked to online gaming. Yes, he is 27 years old and loves to play online games. I have tried it a couple of times but was bored except for farmville and farmtown...I know and I admit Im also an addict but in a good farmer way. At least from those games Ill be able to know how to plant crops and raise animals by myself. Am I being defensive already? Haha...

I dont know why but I just dont like games that my husband play. Actually, its a riot game. A kind of game in which network of players interact with each other to achieve goals and missions. Its a game where there is fighting and killing. That is why they called it a riot game. They even purchase some items online for their characters. Thats how people play this game. Buying items for their characters or for their champions. They even use ventrilo device in order for them to talk freely to each other similar to a telephone or a conference call.

My husband loves to play this kind of game because according to him its his stress reliever and I allow him from playing because its his outlet from the occasional bad day from work. But despite all these, he knows when to stop and doesnt neglects household chores. Even when tired from work he plays too much without getting enough rest. This is another sign of addiction that I noticed from my husband.

While sometimes losing a battle can even result from anger or even worst depression. I thank him for not neglecting his family and even his 7month old baby. He even takes care of DJ while playing. Multitasking while playing. Kissing me on a victorious battle is one way that he feels good about the fulfillment he made. And sometimes angry or feels depress when someone killed his champion. Haha...sorry bhe!

His online gaming status, "left hand baby - right hand mouse". So, is this enough proof that he is indeed one of the online gaming addicts? Haha...Just laughing it out!

The problem of these online gamers is they intend to neglect more of their important tasks such as work and other social activities. So, does this really mean that online gaming addiction is as much the same as substance addiction? I hope not. Studies shows more than 20 suicides from online gaming and also can lead to psychological disorders.

I have nothing against online gaming. I just want people to know that they have other important priorities other than this. They should set aside quality time for their families and only use their spare time on not so important activities such as this.

A Kind hearted Leo

Hollywood actor Leonardo Dicaprio just donated $1M to help those in need victims in Haiti. Who ever thought that an actor like him could do such a thing. I salute him for doing such generosity. He is such a good example to the Americans of helping those in need.

Other celebrities made their donations already. Leo was just the one of them. Celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Sean puffy combs, Sandra Bullock also donated $1M as what Ive heard in the news. And even Leo's ex-girlfriend Giselle Bundchen also donated $1.5M

We still know that we are in good hands because of these people. They are God's way of taking care of us. They are angels in disguise. We shouldn't be worry if something happens to us because we all know there is one person who will be there for us and I know that God wont neglect us in times like this.

Me and myself

I always thought of straightening my hair but got no guts of doing it. Not to brag but I like the compliments Im getting with my curly hair. They always ask me if its natural and it is. My mama is curly and so is my papa.

Unfortunately, my mama tried to straightened my hair when I was a little kid but she wasn't that successful. Well, she was successful at first and loves the way I look. Until after a week it went back from straight to curly again. She paid a lot for that treatment and even chose the perfect salon just for me.

We cant have everything right? Nobody's perfect. We have to accept who we are and what we are made of. We have to thank God for everything he has given to us and even appreciates it even more. So, if you have something that others don't have just be thankful cause He made each and every individuals unique. Just like you and me.

Ive made some comparison on which one will look better. The curly or the straight one? You decide...

Sooo Spongy

My all time favorite cartoon character...hehe

A Sore toe

Its been a month now and its still swollen. Every time my toe will bump on to something it really hurts. I cant bare the pain and that's when I shouted. It is quite swollen on the inner side of the nail. Its like there's an infected-looking tissue that appeared to be growing from the inside.

I think I better take some antibiotics. I don't want to settle down with surgery. Its getting worst everyday. And its all so painful from the inside. I don't know if its an ingrown toenail or something else. The two big toes are very much different in size because my right toenail is bigger than my left toenail. So, I painted my nails with some red nail polish just to hide my big infected toenail.

As what Ive heard ingrown toenails are very common and might settle down without surgery. They suggested to take antibiotics and bathe the ingrown toenail in a lukewarm salty water. I will definitely try that one first to see if it really works. I have waited for months for this toenail to heal.

Thank god Im not wearing closed shoes cause if I do I would end up walking like a cripple.

Lazy morning

I feel sick today and got me a terrible tonsillitis. It was horrible. I cant speak very well and I feel very lazy and wanted to sleep the whole day, but I cant because I have a lot of chores to do. So, I rushed to find some medicine to relieve the pain Im into. And only to find out that my husband already bathed DJ downstairs. That is how thoughtful my husband is. I just love him for taking care of us.

I was exhausted yesterday and wasn't able to sleep very well. I have no idea why I got it until my husband said it was all because of carrying DJ the whole day. DJ just wouldn't sleep, so I have to carry him to let him sleep. DJ cried 3 times the whole night when we were asleep. We have no idea why until my husband woke up and let him sleep again.

I just hope and pray that he will sleep soundly tonight and the rest of the nights. It was a sleepless night for both me and my husband.

ABC's

I always wanted a nursery room for Dj. To let him be aware and familiar with ABC's and all educational stuff for babies. That's why I drew and cut some ABC's and pasted it on the wall. I want him to be familiar with the letters and numbers already at his age. I even bought a coloring book and prepared some pencils and crayons in case if hes interested already.
Eventhough my handwritings are bad, I hope he wont noticed until he grows up. I want him to be familiarized with those things already now that I know hes a bright and smart kid. I just know, I have no negative thoughts of him. Its always a positive attitude towards him. I even downloaded educational songs for him and always playing it every morning.
I also sung him ABC songs everytime I carry him. So, now I just made a nursery room for him. Just a pen and paper and its all so worth it.
