Astigmatism is killing me right now.

Since last night i had a headache due to astigmatism and up until now I'm still feeling the headaches. Its really bugging me and i can't work productively when i have headaches. It's a pain when i try to talk in front of my class then the painful bumps and pinches in my head and eyes always gets in the way which really distracts me a lot and i tend to lose my concentration on the lesson I'm trying to discuss.

What is astigmatism and what causes it?

Astigmatism is a common eye condition that's easily corrected by eyeglasses, contact lenses or surgery.

Astigmatism is characterized by an irregular curvature of the cornea. This type of disorder is also known as a refractive error. Astigmatism occurs in nearly everybody to some degree. For significant curvature, treatment is required.

A person's eye is naturally spherical in shape. Under normal circumstances, when light enters the eye, it refracts evenly, creating a clear view of the object. However, the eye of a person with astigmatism is shaped more like a football or the back of a spoon. For this person, when light enters the eye it is refracted more in one direction than the other, allowing only part of the object to be in focus at one time. Objects at any distance can appear blurry and wavy.

What Causes Astigmatism?

Astigmatism can be hereditary and is often present at birth. It can also result from pressure from the eyelids on the cornea, incorrect posture or an increased use of the eyes for close work.

What Are the Symptoms of Astigmatism?

People with undetected astigmatism often experience headaches, fatigue, eyestrain and blurred vision at all distances. While these symptoms may not necessarily be the result of astigmatism, you should schedule an eye exam if you are experiencing one or more symptoms.

How Are Astigmatisms Diagnosed?

Your optometrist or ophthalmologist can diagnose astigmatism by a thorough eye exam. Astigmatism may occur with other refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness) and hyperopia (farsightedness). Unfortunately, astigmatism often goes undetected in school-age children.

Because astigmatisms may increase slowly, you should visit your optometrist or ophthalmologist for an eye exam once each year. Optometrists are trained specifically to determine and improve visual acuity with the prescription of eyeglasses or contact lenses. Ophthalmologists can provide total eye care, from examinations and vision correction to the diagnosis and treatment of disease through medication and surgery. - www.medicinenet.com

Therefore... i got my astigmatism from my mom? or is it because of the reason that i face the computer most of the time which builds up eye pressure? Should i get glasses or not? At the moment i wont resort to glasses. I can still manage. i just hope this headache will just go away.

Everything is going according to plan... yipeee!!!

Yesterday my GF cacai finally was accepted in her teaching application job and was given 2 advisory class and two clubs. I guess that would be enough to keep her busy since i myself will also be busy with my teaching job.

Yesterday was a sign that both me and my girlfriend's plans are starting to put into place. Hopefully we will be able to reach our goals soon.

My 1st two days on my teaching job.

It has been two days already since i reported yesterday for my job as a teacher. I have just been staying in the lab for the entire day designing the Syllabus for my computer subjects. It was tiring but i found it challenging and fun. Problems so far with the Computer lab is that it's not as clean as what a computer lab should be and tons and i mean ton of viruses are on all of the computers. Its like 5 years of viruses stocked up in each of the computers. even the current anti virus programs i have right now is not enough to clean the entire computers in the lab.

Suggestions on these problems would be:
1. Plastic moldings for LAN cables so that the lab will look more professional and clean
2. It would be better if will start rearranging the lab and take out the unnecessary stuff here
3. Post more educational pictures and posters in the laboratory
4. FORMAT!!! all the computers here to completely remove all the viruses and install virus protection programs.
5. I need a program that will enable me to control and view the workstations here.
6. i also need a program that would restrict sites that are not allowed in out school laboratory.

Well those are the solutions i think would be better for the improvement of the lab. I will try to forward this to the higher authorities and hope some or even better all of my solutions will be taken into action or consideration.

Iron man 2 the movie (review)


Rated: PG-13 for sequences of intense sci-fi action and violence, and some language.
Runtime: 2 hrs 4 mins
Genre: Action/Adventure

Starring: Robert Downey, Don Cheadle, Gwyneth Paltrow, Scarlett Johansson, Mickey Rourke, Sam Rockwell, Garry Shandling, Samuel L. Jackson, Leslie Bibb
Director: Jon Favreau
Screenwriter: Justin Theroux
Director: Jon Favreau
Studio: Paramount Pictures

This sequel to the Blockbuster hit movie last 2008 has finally arrived. I have always been a fan of Iron man ever since i saw him in the world of Marvel Comics. I just finished watching Iron Man 2 a while ago and it was a fun and exciting movie to watch. Though the 1st Iron Man movie focused on its roots and the story behind the Iron Man(which is better), this time it was more one what Tony Starks could do to improve what he thought was complete. This movie also featured the 2nd Iron Man namely War Machine which added to the excitement factor of the movie with all the moves and awesome CG scenes.


As expected Robert Downey was still able to make me laugh with his lines, attitude and charisma towards everybody. This movie also teaches us how to trust on our best friends, that friends do fight but in the end their friendship is more important. The movie really doesn't focus much on the story of the Iron Man but instead on parts of Robert Downeys character which makes the story fall into different bits of pieces. I would like to see more of the Iron Man its self not more on Tony Starks. More on Iron man fight scenes and more Iron Man Weapons and moves.

Overall its still a great movie to watch with the entire family and i still believe you will get your moneys worth for watching it in the big screen. ^_^

Golden Axe 2 Review

The recent blackouts here has made me look back at console gaming when i was still young since i had more time playing emulated games in my PSP. Today I'll be featuring the game i've been playing back in the good old days when i still had this game in my Sega Gen Console.

Golden Axe 2


Story Line:
Not long after the malign reign of Death Adder has ended, another evil rises. The peace of the land has again been threatened, this time by Dark Guld, who was supposed to have been imprisoned but is back in full force. He has gotten his hands on the Golden Axe, using it for his own evil purposes, and his minions are causing much chaos throughout the land.

So once more, Ax-Battler, the fierce barbarian, Tyris-Flare, the fearless Amazon and Gilius Thunderhead, the ferocious dwarf must rise up to deal with this oppression with their might and magic, and recover the Golden Axe. Now, it's up to you to stop Dark Guld and his minions and restore peace to the land! -nintendolife.com

Review:
Back in the good old days i really was waiting for this game. Aside from enjoying its original version i was really a fan of hack and slash gaming. Graphical changes are less but it is better from the original version. Movements have been slightly increased, throwing enemies and making them fall from cliffs are better, magic skills are way better than the original version.

As a kid in my good old days i really had fun playing this game. Though graphics may not be as way better then games these days but during those times when i was small this was one of the coolest game I've played. New generation gamers may not appreciate this game but I'm sure hard core console gamers and fanatics of Golden Axe will surely enjoy playing it over and over again. Cooperative style in playing is fun but finishing the game alone is a challenge.

Screenies:






My rating (out of 10) :
Graphics: 7
Gameplay: 8
Lifespan: 8
Excitement Factor: 8
Overall: 8

My verdict:
It ain't the coolest game in our time right now. But if you are one of those hard core console gamer then I'm sure you would want to have this game if you see one. This may be considered as one of the roots of hack and slash games we are playing right now in PS, XBox and Nintendo games.

thanks to neoseeker.com and nintendolife.com for the game screenies.
