I was 6 that time when I went to the clinic with Abah to get my check up,  I couldn't breath well. Tight chest. Like a big stone pressing against myself. .. Perhaps that was not my first time visiting the clinic because of asthma,but that was the only vivid image I could recall ... It was never comfortable to live with the feeling of having heavy stones on your chest- Breathing was hard. Talking was hard. Eating was hard. Everything just don't feel right, whether sleeping or wide awake. But Alhamdulillah, I'm still here; writing,trying to share some of my life as an asthmatic person for more than 20 years.

I must say it was a shame to me as I went there with the purpose of comparing the quality of rice, yet I did not even make any reference on "how to co...

While watching one of Nora Robert's movie just now, I can here the sound of the mosquito's wings just next to my ears. How would you feel when you hear the buzzing sound and knowing that its looking for the right place to land on you? Without realizing, I was bitten for more than four times at four different places. Ouch! and they're itchy!and they swell... Turned the Tv off and headed to my room, sat in front of my laptop and started to google on 'Why do mosquitoes bite me?' and below is list of mosquitoes attractants which I copied from http://chemistry.about.com/cs/howthingswork/a/aa050503a.htm 1. Dark Clothing Many mosquitoes use vision to locate hosts from a distance. Dark clothes and foliage are initial attractants. 2.Carbon Dioxide You give off more carbon dioxide when you are hot or have been exercising. A burning candle or other fire is another source of carbon dioxide. 3.Lactic Acid You release more lactic acid when you have been exercising or after ea...
