Life

Life is an ongoing learning process, it’s never too late or too old or too hard to learn something new, if only you willing to.

What you learned is yours no one can take it away from you.

Learning is not always fun, sometimes it’s harsh, like learning from your own mistakes or from others’.

Can’t believe that’s one year went by, those are the books that I borrowed from the library and read in less a year.

The first book that decided to read is all because the event of the library from there I picked up the book and read again.

Reading is one of the ways the calm me down and I learned a lot from it too.

Magnitude 4.7 earthquake 9 miles from Thousand Oaks, CA ·Sep 12 7:28 AM

“The earthquake, which struck at 7:28 a.m., was centered about 4 miles north of Malibu, the USGS said. The USGS recorded at least five aftershocks, with the largest one – measured at a magnitude of 3.5 – striking less than a mile from the epicenter, at 9:37 a.m.”

I was on my way to work, stopping for the red light and I felt the jolt. The first thought came into my mind is, “something is wrong with my car or am I dizzy?”. Never thought that was the earthquake until I arrived at work and check my Facebook to see the real time news.

Earthquake

Maybe or maybe not.

Before that, I was like I didn’t want to go out.

Now because that I was forced to stay home, sadly!

Googled with salt water whenever.

Drinks plenty of lemon water but no chicken soup. Because there’s no children at hand and cook.

7/18 night, fever, 100 degree Fahrenheit, cold symptoms, tiring 

719 bad appetite, running nose, sneeze, tiring but couldn’t go to sleep, coughing, throat aches at some point 

7/20 nasal sound, runny nose, sneeze, tiring but couldn’t go to sleep, coughing

7/21 nasal sound, sneeze

7/22  (younger son texted, but chose not to let him know)

7/23 less symptoms, sensitive to coolness, walk outside a bit, weird feeling like the symptoms back, frozen homegrown mandarin is delicious, scalp pain mostly likely due to use too much Hair Clamps 

7/24 warm up the car around 5 minutes on the spot instead of drinking out, took a couple of short naps (easily started today)

7/25 more strength back, a bit more walking outside 

7/26 woke up with minor cold symptoms 

7/27 balance, got to find the balance. Keep warm, too little, cough. Too much, sweat. Weakness of trachea and bronchi

The tenth day no matter what I am out.
