I was cleaning our car in the parking area 3 days ago and when I came back, I was feeling itchy in both legs. I thought  I got mosquito bite while cleaning the car, so I did not really care for it because it will be soon healed and itchy feeling and the bumps will be gone soon. But the places I was bitten in my skin were getting red, and it got bigger. and then I was feeling muscle aches and fatigue ,  and easy to get tired. I didn't know why it happened,  but maybe it comes from the side effect of my 1st vaccine I did about 4 weeks ago. But I thought it's strange because I did not get much side effect from it until that day, and suddenly I got such a symptoms. When my husband saw my legs which I was bitten, he thought it must be chigger bite.   He experienced similar symptoms with it when he was younger and it took about 2 to 3 weeks to recover. So I looked up about Chigger bite, and found many people are experiencing similar symptoms as me. I searched the medi...

Coconut oil has been known as one of the good healthy foods and I also thought so until recently. There are many benefits to eat coconut oil and what was good for me and my husband were * Get high energy * Improve bowel movements * Anti aging * Get glossy hair * Get smooth lighter skin I was always using virgin coconut oil ( about 45g for six large muffins ) when making blueberry muffins since 2013 ( about 8 years ago ). and it's mainly for my husband because he loves it and he was eating one each for lunch every day. It was no problem until recently. He was also putting the coconut oil into his coffee sometimes and when he was drinking coconut oil coffee, his skin looked young. However since a few months ago he noticed that whenever he was drinking coffee with coconut oil , he got insomnia. He has several other foods which make him insomnia when he eats at night time , such as pumpkin, red pepper but did not realize coconut oil was also a problem with it.      Besides t...

  Recently, my husband and I have been enjoying listening to the punk rock music band " The offspring" 's new album " Let the bad times roll " which was just released on April 16' 2021.        Their music is an interesting collage of punk mixed with other styles of music, sometimes mixed with hard rock and metal.   https://www.top-charts.com/r/let-the-bad-times-roll-the-offspring      This album is awesome !    I'm so happy to find great new music.    " Let the bad times roll " is my favorite song so far but I love all the songs in this album.        This next one is a mixture of Classical music ( "Grieg" ) arranged in a punk rock style.  " In The Hall of the Mountain King " is creative and interesting.          " Behind Your Walls"        "Army of One"    I haven't listened to popular music since a long time ago so I didn't know what kin...

      I am so happy to see the orchid that was a gift from my husband in my last birthday ( Last July ),   bloomed again recently. When we got it, I was searching about how to take care of orchid plants online and followed what it said.    and also bought " all purpose plant food " for it  and gave it to the orchid. However within a few weeks, the flower started dying one after the other, so I stopped giving it , but maybe it was too late?  it all died soon except the leaves . All the leaves looked fine and was still shining so I kept it and  was giving small amount of water once every 10 days. It was about 7 month ago,  and  I didn't expect it will bloom again, so it's so wonderful to see it bloomed beautifully again ! I was just giving only normal tap water every 10 days or once a week , and never gave special plant foods since all the flowers died and came off,    then about 6 month later I saw three buds...

Cats ( Kittens ) I had never interested in cats in the past, but since around July in 2020,  I came across the kitten's video in Youtube and was curious to know how many cat's owners are washing cats ? Because my image of cats are wild and does not like water and does not follow humans, unlike dogs.    and then I started watching many video of Kitten shampoo, Kitten first baths ,and while watching it, I felt kittens may be the cutest thing in the world, really started loving them. Here are my favorite cats in Youtube videos in 2020. Den-chan Den-chan is a female, gray & brown tabby kitten.  She was found by the youtuber Taipii in the paddy field around early summer time in 2020. She has a unique tail which is called Kinked Tail , which is believed to bring good fortune.   Not sure the kitten's accurate age and birth date but the animal doctor said she was less than 2 months old. According to his Youtube video, one day,  Taipii got a phone call from an ...
