Migraine Management Tips From Daddie

-
Last week, I wrote about the migraine attack I had & immediately after reading it, my father sent me a useful email with tips on how to manage migraines. It's unorthodox so be ready for some simple but surprising reactions to these...

During Migraine Pain:
taken from yogajournal.com
  1. To relieve the pain, use right finger to block right nostril and breathe normally through left nose until clear.
  2. Search for a pressure point by pressing around the line separating the upper and lower arm near to the elbow. Either arm will do. It hurts the most when pressed. Massage/press it until pain subsides.

Migraine Prevention:
It's more complicated than it looks. Want instructions? =)
  1. Holding a Qi Gong Ma Pu stance for at least 30mins every day. Also good for every day health/exercise substitute.
  2. Stay away from direct aircon or fan blowing on your body especially the head.
    The most common cause of migraine is direct blow of aircon, fan or window breeze during sleep. 
Thanks, dad!
Now you've helped me as well as the world find relief from migraines!

Do try these out & see if they work!

    I agree with no. 2. Aren't there certain kinds of food to avoid as they may trigger migraine attacks? Chocolates?

    Arthur: No 2 is hard to avoid, isn't it? hahaha~~

    Anny: Actually, I had a minor attack a few days ago & I couldn't breathe through my left nostril!
    Is there a connection?

    Also, I couldn't find the pressure point on my elbow. Will ask dad to show me.

    Nigel: I'm not really into popping pills, dude. au naturel.

What To Do When Your Unifi Service Suddenly Drops

After finally putting my kid to sleep, I was about to settle into the couch with my wife & stream a movie, when my Unifi fiber optic internet connection suddenly dropped. When it didn't come back after 1 hour, I realized that I had to do something. Considering that I pay my bills promptly every month, it must be a technical issue. Here's what I did to fix the problem. It look me less than 20 minutes.


1. First, I checked my modem (the white machine). I checked the lights on the modem. When the modem is functioning properly, lights will be on for POWER, PON, LAN1 & TEL1. If the red light for LOS lights up, call 100 to resolve the issue. Also, I made sure that all the wire connections were tight.


2. Next, I checked my router (the black machine). Again, I checked the lights. When the router is functioning properly, lights will be on for POWER, GLOBE, WIFI, LAN1. My POWER light was blinking, so that means that there was no internet connection. Again, I made sure that all th…

Walaupun saya cuba sedaya upaya untuk meningkatkan kebolehan bahasa Inggeris saya, memang akan adanya banyak sesilapan & kekurangan juga. Selepas saya berkongsi tentang usaha saya untuk melibatkan murid-murid saya dalam kem BI, saya masih lagi dikecam oleh beberapa netizen dalam group ibubapa ini. Mungkin adanya rasa dendam daripada usaha saya untuk mempertahankan guru BI bukan opsyen awal bulan tadi: https://www.jarodyong.com/2019/12/teacher-was-cyberbullied-because-of-their-english.html

Saya juga telah menyeru agar semua pihak BLOCK laman-laman web yang mengaut keuntungan daripada isu viral tersebut: https://www.jarodyong.com/2019/12/laman-tersebut-untung-daripada-cyberbullying.html

What To Do If You Miss A Megabus Ride & How Was The Ride

As an ESL teacher, it's a dream come true to attend the legendary TESOL convention. This year, it's in Baltimore, Maryland. Look me up if you're there too!
As a grad student, money is scarce & any kind of travel will need to be bootstrapped. So, I'm travelling by bus (4 hours) & staying at a hostel (in a bunk room).

Rushing from my last class of the day to the bus stop after saying goodbye to my beloved missus, I missed the bus by minutes. I actually watched the bus leave the stop with my friends (who were there much earlier) staring blankly at me behind the large windows as the bus bustled by. I was pissed. I was also wondering... what's next?

Sibu, Song & Kapit Express Boat Schedule

If you are not from the Kapit/Song/Belaga region, chances are you will not be familiar with the schedules of the express boat which are totally essential for travel.
And it gets really frustrating when you want to plan your journey & all you can rely on is the memory of a local who may or may not be accurate.
I sifted through a lot of gunk on the internet before I found a probably reliable schedule at sarawaknews.blogspot.com.

I've printed it out & pasted it on my wall.
Here's a copy of the schedule for your reference.

Vessel (From Sibu) ETD
(Sibu) ETA
(Song) ETA
(Kapit) Asian Vision 0545 0745 0845 Success Vision 0615 0815 0915 Wah Wah No.3 0700 0900 1000 Sarawak Boleh 168 (Direct) 0730 - 1015 Khai Kiong Express 0830 1030 1130 Kapit Boleh 268
