  • Usually, it is a manoeuvre you have made many times before and will probably make a million times again. It can happen when flexing forward, extending backwards, rotating or bending to the side. We don't know why it happens but it causes a muscle, tendon, joint or even bone

Do you judge a person?



Instinctively, we do! This is so to protect ourselves and the people around us. Developing the system of knowing the right person to trust is learned gradually. Diversed steps are done and could be done in many different ways.



One good way that I know, is to observe the person by how they treat other people. Not sure though if this is effective but this works for me. But, still one has to be careful though because our own personal assessment could be wrong but eventually we will know.

Summer is just around the corner

Summer is my favorite weather before because the sun is shining great, flowers bloom incessantly, beach resorts are booming and a lot of people spend their days swimming or visiting malls.

But things turn differently because of the El Niño phenomenon. Constant humidity affects a lot of people. Heat stroke is rising and farms are drought affecting the farmer's living. In this case prices of commodities go up, it's like a domino effect.

Some parts of my country are under state of calamity. Governmen

A Face of Friend.


I see faces,
they come and go.
I hear sentences, words and letters,
they are without sense and contents.
I see pictures,
they disintegrate to dust.
I recognize hands, many hands,
but I can’t catch them.
I feel coldness,
and find no warmth.
I experience grief, sorrow and pain,
and, nevertheless, can give no consolation.
I look into a deep abyss,
however, the abyss looks into me.
But, I see a bright light in the dark tunnel,
Faces, sentences, pictures, hands, warmth and consolation around it;
