What to do to get over sickness without taking any drugs? This year, I've probably caught a cold every month; when I've finally thought that I would get over my sickness, I was sick again.
The best solution is to drink hot water, mixing it with lemon and honey. Don't ever drink tea when being sick since the tea dries your body. My cousin told me to do that... I didn't know before and always drank tea, wondering why hot tea didn't even work on my body. So, water juice, clear broth or warm lemon water with honey helps you loosen congestion and prevents dehydration. Of course, avoid drinking alcohol, coffee (especially Starbucks Coffee) and caffeinated sodas, which can make dehydration worse. The second way is to rest. Your body needs to heal. Sleep all day if you need to. Don't overwork yourself and rest as much as possible. It doesn't matter if you didn't finish doing your homework (or work for those who have a job), your health, no matter what, comes first. Before working, you need to be in a good state in order to be as productive as you could be. Usually, when I am sick, my grandmother always uses her own Vietnamese traditional method to cure me. It is called the "Homemade Steam Bath". You firstly have to boil hot water in a pot. When it's boiling, put in some sea salt and lemongrass, enclose the pot with a lid, then turn the stove down to medium heat. After that, try to make a tent with a blanket and sit under the tent with the boiled water. Do this for 10 minutes and you'll feel better after doing that. There are also plants that help you to cure your sickness, but I don't know a lot about those plants so you should read articles about that on the Internet or ask someone who is specialized in this kind of medicine. PS: If you go to Vietnam, an interesting musuem for you to visit is the Fito Museum, a museum devoted to the Traditional Vietnamese Medicine & Pharmacy.

Who has ever dreamed of going to Disneyland Paris? Dreaming to have a man who proposes just in front of the princess' castle? WELL, me, YES. I've dreamed of that but I don't think this is going to happen soon. BUT, thinking positively, just let the man come to you naturally.
Anyways, originally known as Euro Disney Resort, this is the most visited theme park in all Europe. I've been there twice: once when I was 10 and the second time, just recently, in July for my cousin's friend birthday and it was the right occasion for me to comeback to my childhood. I forgot how Disneyland was fantastic and full of fantasy! I loved how beautifully the parc was built.
If you have never been to Disneyland (I won't hope that for all of you), the entire park has two subparks: the Walt Disney Studios and the Disneyland Park. The most recent park is the Disneyland one, and I've been loving this one since the last time I came there.
Before talking about the first attraction I did; when you enter the parc, you'll walk to a big path, just like a highway "TO THE PARADISE" with restaurants in both sides.
The story begins with a shiny Sunday morning, when my mother "obliged" me to go jogging. I hate it especially when it comes to sports running. More ! It was at 8.00 am... In this beautiful day, I suggest my mother that we should hang out a little bit as it was nearly the end of the winter vacation and because I didn't go out for these 2 weeks. Sometimes I want to hang out with my mother when the weather is kind of sunny. We don't have really time to go out like this with my mother so I'm enjoying every moment I spend with my mother, my precious lovely mother. I have only her in my life. Therefore, I decided to take my mom out to Paris, near the Champ Élysées. It was pretty cold but sunny... Well, yes, France has a weird weather and I'm wondering why a weather like this one... (the science, perhaps, could explain the reason why... - I'm a scientific student! - ).
Anyways, I was doubtful about the place we should have gone to. Perhaps the Musée de L'Orangerie or just visiting the Champs Élysée's long avenue... I asked many times to my mother which place she wanted to visit but she told me "I'm following you. If you want to go to a place, I'm cool with it. As long as you're happy at the end of this day." She's so nice with me... Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Love is everywhere! For those who are already in couple, I wish you the best in your relationship and I hope girls or boys, you had good and amazing gifts from your partner (I guess a flower?)! Write some comments about your gifts, to let me know what you had for Valentine's Day. And also, for people whose name is Valentine, happy day! Did your partner give you some chocolate? Did you go out? My partner did not give me anything ! Because I don't have a boyfriend (ugh, sad life, at least, a quarter of my friends has a partner...). Anyway, I don't need one for now. If someone gets married, just make sure you'll invite me at your wedding ! I'll be a very outstanding bridesmaid ! (Well, I hope I'll be my best friend's...).
I wanted to make a chocolate cake, but I didn't have time today or maybe I'll make one tomorrow... It does not really matter. As long as I, at least eat chocolate during my lifetime, I'm good with that. XOXO Last year, in December 2016, my family & I went to the Grand Palais where you can do ice-skating every year. Actually, it only happens once a year during winter holidays (especially for Christmas). You normally go there for painting exhibitions or clothe exibitions such as Chanel, Dior, Yves Saint Laurent. During a year, a wide variety of things occurs in there, in Paris, France. I don't have time to go there or because sometimes tickets just to see exhibitions are expensive, more expensive in Paris. But for tourists and people living in Paris btw, I really recommend you to go there just to enjoy seeing beautiful monuments as the Grand Palais is near the Eiffel Tour. At least, you have to take the underground or if you want to, you can walk. It's not so far from the Grand Palais. So I guess it won't be too long if you take the metro. If you have time, just come to visit Paris (during winter or whatever season you wish) and enjoy your trip and pictures I post on this blog! While I'm studying, I try to create a "vlog" about the Grand Palais and how I skate. I count on you, guys to check it when it will be out ! Seeing this pictures make me want to go back to December and enjoy the Christmas holidays. My cousins and I got many gifts (thanks to my two cousins who are sisters). Just in front of the Grand Palais, you have the Petit Palais which DOES NOT MEAN that it is little. The Petit Palais is as big as the Grand Palais. I'm amazed (even though I'm French), weird ugh? I don't feel like I was born in France when I took all those pictures. I'M AN ASIAN TOURIST. So now, do you believe me when I say that the Petit Palais is not a little Palais but a big one as the Grand Palais ?
