Best Wish To My Big Brother

I just found out that my big brother has pancreatic cancer.  The doctor announced that he may only have three months to life.  I called him, “big brother”, because he is the oldest among my generation in the family tree.  Frankly speaking, I do not know him every well.  He generally did not attend in the family gatherings.  He seems to have his own way.

A friend of mine passed away few months ago from liver cancer.  It seems that it is getting common to see cancer at younger ago.  What is the cause of the problem?  Forget about last century, do we actually live better even comparing with people as close as last generation?  With the advancement we have in medial technology, do we actually outlive our parents?  Something is wrong with what we eat and live.

Best wish to my bug brother.  With the odd and statistics, I do not wish that he may be able to overcome cancer but to live with dignity and happiness in rest of his life.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

We do not have turkey for Thanksgiving for years.  Since we eat turkey few times a month, even tough it is a whole bird on Thanksgiving day, kids do not seem special.  Additionally, without families around the area, we often had to eat leftover turkey for days.

Few years back, we had switched to do it yourself sushi for Thanksgiving.  This is truly a  special occasion since we only eat like this once or twice a year.  We had invited few families over the years.  Everyone love and enjoy it.

It is not difficult to prepare do it yourself sushi.  We mostly go either H-Mart or Uwajimaya for ingredients, such as raw fishes and roes, veggies and sauce.  Most important of all, it does not matter what kind of food you put in there as long as it is what you love to eat.  We have tried to put chicken, turkey and beef.  It is all delicious.

If you do not know how to prepare sushi rice and even lazy to use sushi seasoning mix, there is no problem at all.  For the past two or three years, there is a new kinds of roasted seaweeds mostly from Korea.  It has a light salted taste that is great to roll with food.

Once everything is on the dining table, everyone can mix any styles of food they like.  Who say sushi has to be rolled?  It is fun and entertaining for the whole family and guests.

Feeling Old

Few years back, I can easily workout without any problem next day after a blood donation.  Well, it is not as easy as I used to.  People say body really starts downhill after 40.  I can surely feel it.

I can still feel the effect of blood donation four days later.  These days, it takes about a week to feel normal.  It is not difficult for me to admit getting old.  In fact, I enjoy growing old.  Sometimes, it is the feeling of sadness that life is never coming back.

Two Hours And Falf (One Way) To Work

It took me two hours and half to work this morning.  Generally, I would go workout first.  However the laundry machine at YMCA is out of order thus unable to provide towels.  I thought that I might be able to workout at work.  Unfortunately, the bad weather caused a huge backup on highway.  it was already 9:40am when I arrived at work.

This is the reason why I always prefer to workout first before going go work.

Time

I admire people who have time to write everyday.  Where are the ideas coming from?  How do they know what to write?  This can simply like writing a diary.  Still, life is a time loop.  Can anything new be able to squeeze out from it everyday?

Well, I guess that this is why I am writing, practicing and get some ideas.
