    World Population Day - 11 July 2006

    I guess it's not too late to talk about "World Population Day" and the United Nations agengy behind it - UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, which is an international development agency that promotes the right of every woman, man and child to enjoy a life of health and equal opportunity.

    This year, the focus is on "young people." I really like the theme of the poster promoting this special day. The message is clear.

    Being young is tough.
    You feel
    Invicible.
    But you're vulnerable.
    To drugs, HIV, pregnancy,
    peer pressure.
    Confusing.
    You feel strong.
    Powerless. Engaged. Shut out.
    Beautiful.
    The future looks wide open.
    You can take control.
    Start now.

    Tonsillitis

    A couple of days ago, I got a sore throat. I thought it was an ordinary sore throat that would wear off by itself after taking some medicine. However, a couple of days later, a sore throat was getting worse as I felt sharp pain when swallowing even my own saliva and I also got a high fever. Finally, I decided that I had better see a doctor. At the hospital, I was diagnosed with tonsillitis, an inflammation of the tonsils in the mouth. The doctor said that I made it just in time before the tonsils become so swollen that I have to be admitted into the hospital. However, I still need at least three injections in order to get better. I am now feeling a lot more better and I hope I would fully recover soon.
