Recuperating
I’ve been sick for a month now because of rhinovirus and strep infection. I never thought that a common cold could be so cruel to me this season. I used to be better after a week but this time is different. The bug forced me to stay home for a month and also caused a…

Update About the Run
A month ago, I mentioned that I signed up for the relay run. Well, I ran and I finished the race! It’s a 5.5 km run and I’ve never thought that I was going to make it to the finish line. It was a really tough run for me because my plan of training failed…

Hammocking Alone
Who would have thought that a city girl like me can survive being alone in the woods? Never in my wildest dreams before I have thought about camping alone. I’ve never been a girl scout before. But here I am smiling because I can’t believe that I actually did it. For me, it’s another achievement.…
