My headache chronically restarted bothering me. I began to take Tylenol again. It had stopped for almost year. However, I don’t know why I started bothering me again. Direction how to take Tylenol is to take 2pils every 8 hours. However, I need something stronger because it doesn’t work at all. I usually took Korean product which function as same as Tylenol. It really works for me. Anyone will say “do not take it too many or do not rely on it” I know how it will affect to my body. And I really want see a doctor and get checked. However, In America no way!! It is too expensive and it will damage my economic situation. I really miss my country and I hope time goes fast. I am planning to visit Korea on next vacation. It would be next summer. I am afraid that my body condition is getting worse.
PS.. Serkan!!! Congratulation and happy Birth day!!!

flashback!

My grandfather always said “Be always thankful.” I disliked his teaching because he always gave me a long lecture. However, now I miss him so much. He died 5years ago when I was in Korean army. I started having flashback of the day. In the morning my peer said “sir! You are ordered to prepare for a vacation.” I thought he was kidding and playing around me because he was about to go vacation. However, I was told that my grandfather just died and I had to attend the funeral. I started crying and had nothing to say. One of my higher officers comforted me and said “Mr. Youm!! Your grandpa gives you last gift (he means vacation)… you set ur mind!!” I felt guilty because I didn’t give him anything and I haven’t said that I love you. He always prayed for my generation a lot. As an oldest grandson, I was given his endless love. However…. He was gone like that. Since he was gone I have tried to follow his saying. I don’t know why his saying popped into my head and I thought about him. I miss him a lot and really want to say “I love you” I believe he can hear me.
