Today was not my day because I didn't feel well. Maybe I miss my family or my friends, but I had a headache. I went to work; I couldn't stay home all day. I felt better after I took two Advil. Some people say headache is a symptom of other pain or disease. But I don't like to go hospital because I don't like taking a lot of pills.

My Brother Birthday

Today was my older brother birthday. I want to throw him a small family party. We live together in two bed room Apt. I want to back him a cake and cook a dinner for him and for all family. My youngest brother wants to buy some presents and my sister buys card and champagne. We all together when he came home from LasVegas surprised him. He was really happy with his birthday party. We ask him a lot of question about his next year plan. He said, he is going to married his girlfriend next April. We wish for him and his girlfriend a long life and good health with peace and grace of God
