Aki's 9th birthday is coming next week. She is going to invite 10 kids.
I used to cook for gests. However, I realized kids love Pizza Hut more than my dishes. So I'm going to order to Pizza Hut.I'll bake a tiny cake.
And Aki has her own PC(can't use Internet though), a mobile, a camera and lots of books.
Wabisabi " What do you want for your birthday?"
Aki" MASSAGE!"
Wabisabi"....(Oh, thanks, I can't do that. Save money, save money.)
By the way, I didn't have a birthday party, when I was a kid.

Blood test result Februrary.

Tests--------------Rsults--------------Ref. Ranges
Hemogloin 12.5l 12.3-153.
Hematocrit 37 35-47
REd Cell Count 3.82l/mm3 4.1-5.1
White Blood Cell Count 4900/mm3 4000-11,000

Since I have been taking iron tablets for a month my
Hemoglobin and Hematocrit levels have entered the marked ref.range. However, my Red Cell Count is still lower than the
ref.range. So I got my 2006 Blood Tests. It shows 3.9mil/mm3. so I think my Red Cell Count has always been lower than ref. range.
My nose problem was diagonosed as an environmental disease at the American Hospital, it means I'm alergic to the sand and dryness here. Flixonase has been prescribed and I have used it for a week. The symptoms have disappeared.
