Dear reader, I would like to let you know that I won’t make further updates to this blog. I am currently focused on other projects, and God is directing me to start a new project along the lines of Just Cris.

If you want to know about my current projects, you can check my personal page. If you want to be notified of updates to the new project which I will start working on soon, you can subscribe to this site’s newsletter by clicking this link, or you can like Just Cris’s fan page on Facebook, or follow me on Twitter.

I’ll keep this site up for as long as I can so that you can have access to content that I produced on it.

I thank everyone who has visited this site, the subscribers to the newsletter, the fans of the Facebook page, finally, everyone who supported me through Just Cris.

May God bless you all!

Today I am launching a new version of this blog, with a new visual. If you’re reading this in your RSS reader, email or in the mobile version of the site, please come and visit it so you can see what’s new.

I am now using the Standard Theme.

The idea is to keep it simple and easy to read and to find the information you want.

Today I am also launching the Facebook page. I invite you to check it out too.

Feel free to leave any comments, I’d love to hear from you.

If you find any problem, please let me know too. Please include the browser name and version you’re using, and operating system.

Thank you for your visit!

Enjoy!

Dear readers, I am publishing this post to let you know why I have been away and why I will stay away for a few days more.

Last week I came down with labyrinthitis yet again. The doctor believes it is related to a sore throat and cough that I’ve had for more than a month, and now the doctor found out it didn’t get better after taking a lot of medication because of reflux (EERD).

Have you ever thought that a labyrinthitis crisis could be a blessing?

For the last two years or so, maybe more, I’ve been in a very intense rhythm at work. About a month ago, I talked to my manager and asked her to check how I could get a non-paid leave from work for one week. I knew I needed to get some rest and I had no vacation days left until April, so I had no other choice.

However, before I could get any response from her, my body decided to do what was needed.

On January 28th (a Friday), I woke up to the world spinning like crazy around me. I’ve had a few crisis like this before, so I knew what it was: labyrinthitis. The last time it happened, about 8 years ago, my doctor had prescribed a medicine that I could take if I felt dizzy, so I did my best to get to the medicine cabinet and take it.

I waited a couple of hours so the medicine could kick in and allow me to stand up and walk more securely. Then I called a taxi and went to a nearby hospital.
