It was sunny today. In the morning, Mom noticed that I was making a wheezing sound when I spoke. Actually I had been having difficulty breathing recently, but I thought it was a side effect of the flu and didn’t think much of it. Mom, however, took it seriously and quickly drove me to the doctor. Well, she was right to be concerned; it was indeed quite severe. Technically, it’s called mycoplasma pneumonia, or walking pneumonia. The symptoms might seem mild, but after all, it’s still pneumonia. If my lungs were infected, it could be fatal. Luckily, my situation isn’t that bad yet—a thousand thanks to Mom. The doctor prescribed me antibiotic treatment and put me under an oxygen mask for a few hours. I didn’t even frown during the IV infusion. It looks like I’m going to miss a lot of classes next week. That’s fine!

A musician asked me what is a good Chinese song. I said “apricot blossoms”. He listened to it and asked me when they were composed. I said about 1180. He asked “1911?”. I said, no, 1180. He said “About 800 years ago?” Then he became silent for a second.

I am also volunteering for another Christian charity

I have been learning in this APP for about three months. I have practiced English language for three months. Before I wanted to have a work in a foreign trade corporation，but I am not that sure. My ambition is not to sell products as many as I can or to please the clients. I want to observe people and get something new，write it down. But in China，it is difficult to publish something I want. In other countries，I think my English is not that good to support me to be a journalist. What should I do？

A: By the way, who introduced me to you? How long are you able to stay in Thailand with tourist visa? I was asking you about your personal information besides your ability to volunteer and teach language class; your personal life, family, work, church affiliation, Christian service, etc. B: I saw your information on your official website. I was invited to be a volunteer in Thailand before, so I always pay attention on charities in Thailand. About 1 month. Our winter holiday is shorter. I am also available in summer if you prefer. The summer holiday is longer. I am the only child in my family because of the one child policy. That's why I really eager the love of God. I remember when I traveled in the United States, a Sister who passed away several months ago, said that "I know you have no sisters. You can treat us as your sisters." Thank you for your further explanation. I chose to work for a 501(c)(3) charitable organization after graduating because I considered spiritual life a priority. The co-founders consider the organization as a "apostolic hobby". My father was fighting with depression and drinking because of my late grandfather's verbal abuse. But he is a completely new person now, after listening to Dr. J. David Pawson's teaching for many years. I travel during school holidays and have stayed in different monasteries, such as Monastero di San Luca - Fabriano and Santa Rita Abbey since spiritual life is important for me.
