My 2023 resolutions included a few good habits, such as reading a book every month, studying finance, and exercising twice a week. They weren't anything new; I've been trying to maintain these habits for years. I knew they would certainly improve my life if I practiced them on a regular basis. However, there's one thing I have picked up throughout this year that I didn't expect to have such a pr..

I was afraid of getting exhausted from the extreme heat. I had already experienced dizziness this past Wednesday, which forced me to take the afternoon off and stay in bed. Also, my eyes are highly sensitive to sunlight. While I cannot pinpoint the exact reason for the occasional increase of my eye pressure, strong sunlight is one of the potential factors.

After the frog’s escape a week ago, we only had one tadpole left in the container. During this week its four legs had grown out and it turned into a frog this Thursday.

Today was cold and sunny. Looking at the clear sky from the office, I had an urge to visit the Chungwoon Literature Library during lunchtime, which I had been meaning to check out for a long time. I looked up the route on the map and a 44-minute walk one way looked quite challenging. I would barely have time to have lunch or look around the library. It was still worth a visit. Since I checked ou..
