132/365 - Wii Remote

This post is a little late. I took the picture yesterday and uploaded it yesterday as well. However, Blogger was having some maintenance issue where I could not log in to my account. And so, it took me a day to post!

Anyways, the photo above is again another simple subject. Nothing spectacular. After all, it's just a Wii remote. Ok, I admit, I really did not have anything in my mind to photograph yesterday. But alas, when I looked into my left thumb, I need to have a remembrance of what have caused all the trauma in the said thumb.

Now, don't be fooled by this remote. Yes, it's simply a remote but this simple thing has caused turmoil in my hands. aha. It's not really it's fault but I have nothing to blame. I don't to blame myself.

Well, we've had the Wii for quite sometime. And when we got it, I have been a Wii junkie. From online streaming via Netflix to Wii Sports, to Justa Dance 2 and to Super Mario, if I have the time and if I can't go to sleep, the games mentioned are my solution.

Out of all that is mentioned, it's Super Mario that's really getting my attention whenever I have the ME time. I don't know, for some reason, when I start playing it, I just could not stop and put it down. There are days on the weekend that I don't go to bed not until past 2 am. I know, I am crazy like that! But I just want to save the princess character in the game. Nothing wrong with that, right? When I play, my competitive side usually comes in and that's the reason why I can't put this remote control down. Well, not really! The only reason that can make me go to sleep and put down the remote control and turn off the console is when my thumb get hurts from excessive pressing. The worst that has happened to my thumb is that I literally broke the corner of my thumbnail. It has caused calluses on the top right corner of my thumb. Phew!!! Unfortunately, until now, my tender thumb is still sore.

But what can I do? This is one of the ways that I release stress - about anything. I do prefer this way rather than go shopping or divulge in food. That is more dangerous than losing a part of my thumbnail. aha!
