After a week with my first Nuffnang ad campaign, my second ad immediately followed. It's from Nike. Introducing.... NIKE TRIBES!
Nike recognizes that a renewed perspective of sport has emerged – a perspective that focuses on the individual, not the infrastructure, on the journey and not on the destination. It is about discovering individuality and defining themselves by their passion for their chosen sport: Skateboarding, Dance, BMX or Street Football. We want to inspire such passion amongst youth in Singapore and re-energize the ‘Just Do It’ message in Singapore.
Nike Tribes embodies passions for life, sports and friendship – living in the moment and enjoying it to the fullest through an individualistic sport that is art with peers and communities around the world.
The Nike Tribes (of Skateboarding, B-Boy, BMX and Street Football) showcase select groups of youth passionate about these sports. Nike Tribes enjoy and live out their passions spontaneously, thriving on creativity and re-inventing themselves constantly to best their peers and more importantly, their self. The sports transform into art forms and ignite whole slews of sub-cultures in the urban landscape whilst developing tribers’ skills and knowledge in the sports, and in life.

Here is a journal article recently published at the Edizioni Minerva Medica site about the “Ergonomic and physiotherapeutic interventions for treating work-related complaints of the arm, neck or shoulder in adults. A Cochrane systematic review.”
The objective of the study was to “determine whether conservative interventions have a significant impact on outcomes for work-related complaints of the arm, neck or shoulder (CANS) in adults.”
The researchers concluded that…
There is limited evidence for the effectiveness of keyboards with an alternative force-displacement of the keys or an alternative geometry, and limited evidence for the effectiveness of exercises compared to massage, breaks during computer work compared to no breaks; massage as an add-on treatment to manual therapy, and manual therapy as an add-on treatment to exercises.

I have never been to Las Vegas before. Let alone the United States. I just never had the chance to go there.
But from what I have heard from friends and family, it seems like a wonderful and fun place to visit. The casinos and live shows intrigue me a lot as I have never experienced living in a similar setting as that, having grown up in the suburbs for most of my life.
When we do get the chance to visit the States, we’ll make it a point to include Nevada in our itinerary. Maybe we can stay for a few days and book ourselves at the Stratosphere Las Vegas. Yes, I’m quite certain we’ll be having a grand time.
Seventy! Yes, I have written seventy posts on this blog for this month alone. Gosh, I’ve never written so much stuff in such a short time! Hahaha!
And it is all due to the paid posting work I receive every so often. Don’t get me wrong okay. I am definitely not complaining as I am thankful for all the opportunities that have come my way.
So, I guess you won’t see me stopping at any point now because I intend to post at this pace for as long as it takes. I just hope I don’t run out of things to say!
J and I have been a follower of the So You Think You Can Dance series, ever since it began so many weeks ago. In the last episode that we saw, the competition was now down to only six performers. Of the many numbers presented that night, this one stood out the most.
The female dancer here, Lacey, is one of our favorites in the contest. I have a good feeling she's going to make it to the finals because of her versatility.
A breather from the chaotic political situation we have.
Newspaper industry statistics in the United States may look grim, but it seems a bit premature to put a $60-billion industry on the endangered species list, says Fortune's Richard Siklos.
NEW YORK (Fortune) -- Last week could hardly have been grimmer for the newspaper industry. First off, Gannett (Charts, Fortune 500) and McClatchy (Charts) - the two biggest newspapers publishers in the U.S., respectively - reported diminished revenues and profits. Meanwhile, following the lead of Belo, publisher of the Dallas Morning News, Scripps announced it was splitting its growing television and interactive businesses off from the company's newspaper business so that investors could get excited about the company's slumping stock price.
The kicker of the week was when stock in the New York Times Company (Charts) hit its lowest point in a decade after a Morgan Stanley fund manager who had been agitating for changes at the company sold off the firm's entire 7.2% stake. Also last week, the equity research arm of Morgan Stanley laid off its newspaper analyst and dropped coverage of the industry, the Times itself noted wryly in its pages. This was almost certainly a coincidence. Otherwise, it might be construed as one heck of a kiss off. The present question in newspaperland is not whether the industry can reclaim its glory, but rather how quickly the erosion in business conditions that has accelerated in the past year or so can be slowed and even reversed.
J and I recently watched Mel Gibson's Apocalypto this morning. And I must say, amid all the blood and gore that the movie showcased, I actually liked the story a lot! :)
Jaguar Paw (played by Rudy Youngblood) running for his life
Set in the Mayan civilization, when a man's idyllic presence is brutally disrupted by a violent invading force, he is taken on a perilous journey to a world ruled by fear and oppression where a harrowing end awaits him. Through a twist of fate and spurred by the power of his love for his woman and his family he will make a desperate break to return home and to ultimately save his way of life.
Gibson sure has this thing with violent films eh? Remember Braveheart? I loved that one too, by the way.
Unknownst to many, I am not a "jewelry person." I hardly wear any accessories on myself. On ordinary days, the only piece of jewelry that I wear is my white gold wedding band. If a special occasion arises though, the only pieces that I add, aside from my wedding ring, are a pair of diamond earrings and the engagement ring that J gave me three years ago. It is as simple as that. Sometimes, I can be convinced to wear a necklace or bracelet to add more bling, but those times are few and rare. As they say, "Less is more." I agree a hundred and one percent!
Have you seen our garage? Well, it is not exactly a garage. I think a more appropriate term is carport. It is practically just a shed for our old reliable car so it is fully exposed to whatever weather we are having here. Plus, it can also be eye-candy for some potential burglars.
Sectional Garages, for me, are just great because they provide you protection from the elements and security from unwanted robbers. Heck, if this were my house, I would get one built for us as well. Not only are they practical, but they are also aesthetically appealing. They’re like cute miniature houses. Yes, I am definitely considering that when we’re getting our own house in the future.
If you are not a “techie” kind of person, then I could just imagine the amount of confusion you will be in if you had to deal with all these new gadgets and machines out in the market today.
Take for example the ’simple’ task of changing the cartridges in your printer. You can’t just buy whatever item off the rack. You’d need to match the cartridge to your printer model to get it to work. There are lots of do-it-yourself sites on the web that can help you with this task and one of them is Cartridge Finder. I’m pretty sure they can help all those technologically-challenged people out there who’s trying to tinker with their printer.
I have complete admiration for my brother R. He is the ultimate extrovert in our family, while I am totally the opposite. His strong personality has helped him push his career into a successful one. He has only been in sales for around five years and yet, he has managed to rise up the ranks to be district manager in record time. I am pretty sure they have undergone tons of Sales Training in their company. But I reckon it is his personality that is majorly responsible for all of his success. I wish I sometimes had his confidence. That would have taken me places as well.
It is campaign season over here in Australia because PM Howard has finally set a date for the election. He has set Saturday, the 24th of November, for the 2007 election of the federal Parliament.
I'm sure all the candidates are very busy now doing all that it takes to get the public's loyalty and vote. Probably they are handing out a few flyers and freebies like promotional pens to make themselves stand out. And, of course, let's not forget the numerous commercials on TV to remind us of their parties.
I'm not voting as I am not yet a citizen. But J is. And I know who he's voting for. What about you? Who's side are you on?
Today saw me back in the pink of health. Well, not a hundred percent yet, but, yes, I am feeling so much better than yesterday. Although there hasn't been any urgent trips to the toilet in the past 48 hours, I was still a bit light-headed yesterday when I was finishing up some chores. None of that can be experienced now.
Also, I was able to go back to eating a decent meal at dinner last night. From Tuesday to Friday noon, all I've been munching on are crackers, fruits, noodles, soup, water and juice for fear that another violent stomach reaction may occur. By Friday night, I had gotten my old appetite back and was very eager to devour the nilagang baka (boiled beef with lots of veggies) which I cooked myself.
Man, you should have seen me wolf down my food! It was gone in minutes and I was still asking for seconds. I can tell you I missed eating so much that I have never felt so hungry in my life!
I ate two servings of food that night. I could have probably gone for a third one but I did not want to push my luck any further. Thankfully, no untoward incident with regards to my gut took place. Yipee! :)
