hello everyone

and welcome back to my blog, it has been a long time since I posted anything here like almost 6 months. so since the outbreak of covid19 and the increasing of the number of cases and death, most of the countries started locking down cities - by the way, be safe and take care of yourself and your families and my prayer for those who lost someone due to this virus -

so since this started most of you in social media started complaining about staying at home, yeah !!

the point of this post is showing you the good side of this quarantine. well, the only positive thing is TIME, having more, more hours in your hand to accomplish your goals, to develop your skills, maybe to transform to the person that you always wanted.

- maybe you always wanted to lose weight or to have abs, be fit, learn to dance, be more flexible ..... there are millions of workouts without using any type of equipments videos on youtube . for me I started following the Chloe ting abs challenge, it's a 2-week program - I am going to write a post about it when I finish it - . and if you don't want to do anything of this, just use the video of " walking 1 or 3 mills at home " . don't end up sitting in your bed all day because it's unhealthy .

- develop your skills or learn a new one like drawing, cooking drawing, writing or even makeup, spend time in doing some DIY. some of my works

- you have a skill that impresses people why don't you start a blog, a youtube channel and share with others your own tutorials, you may say that there is plenty of YouTubers and bloggers who already shared the same content that I want to do, but it's all about the charisma. I started my own channel back in December 2019 where I share educational content that relates to my studies in my native language, it's not a huge channel but the slow progress always make me happy.

- spending time with family, especially if you are a parent, maybe you didn't have the chance in the past to play with your kids due to your job and other commitments but now you have the time to do with them some activities.

- studying, especially in subjects that you are weak in as a med student this for me was the perfect time to restudy some subjects and other new pathologies.

- learning a new language.

- working online by using those freelance website, if you are good at writing or photoshop, editing video ..... choose wisely what you can offer to your customer

- having spiritual time, this is for religious persons you can use this period to come close to God.

- and let's be honest you probably bought a bunch of books and you didn't read so... read them .

- don't forget the self-love and your skin routine

by now I guess there are millions of things that pop into your mind but now you need to choose exactly the things that you want to do and that benefits you in the future.

don't waste this period because 99 percent won't happen again . after this end you should be a better version of yourself.

Hello everyone

And welcome to a new post , it has been a while since I shared something in my blog but here I am with a new exiting post- I guess- . The devices and instruments that we use now has changed a lot than how it was in the past , just look at your phone or your laptop that your using it's so different than the first one that came or the one that you use back in 2000 . In 1990 no one could have a blog and share their own story and thoughts . Life has changed a lot , it becomes more easier thanks to technology .
I am pretty sure that most of you have seen this then vs now objects like the radio , CD , the car's window thing ...... But have you seen how does the old medical instruments look like ??

- let's start with the thing that the majority of us hate syringe yep . The syringe that we use now has passed by different modification but the most important thing that you should know that the first one were made during the Roman time in the first century AD . And here how was the old syringe looks like it's remind me of attack on Titan - if you are anime fan you would understand -

- move on to stethoscope , the most important tool in medicine . The first one was made by Rene Laennec in 1816 , he was inspired by 2 children who was playing with paper roll one of the kids was speaking through the opening of the paper roll and the other put his ear in the end of it .

- the plague costume , are you planning to wear this costume in the next Halloween ? But do you know the story behind it !!
Doctors used to wear this kind of mask during the plague period in Europe to protect them from being contaminated and also they used a long stick to touch the patient with it and to keep a safety distance . Those beaks held a scented substances .

-Sphygmomanometer which is an instrument used for measuring the the blood pressure . The story of how it's made is so complicated , there is too many laws of physics implied . So here is how the first Sphygmomanometer looks like .

- thermometer the first one was Mercury thermometer , I guess most of us have seen one before it was replaced by the electronic ones .

- the first glasses was made in Italy in 1290 .

- the first braces were made in ancient Egypt and this is how it looks , terrifying right

but then between 1728 and 1757 it looked like this

The end ,hope that you enjoy reading this post .

hello everyone

and welcome to my blog . let's start this post with a short story on why i started learning Japanese :
When i was 13 or 14 i started watching anime , the first one that i watched called death note but it was with English so i didn't have any idea on how Japanese language is . After that i entered to the anime world , Yes , i became a crazy otaku .I started loving Japanese culture , their food , outfit , the Lolita fashion .... and now in 2019 i start my first step in learning this language , without forgetting that i had a lot of benefits from watching anime like learning the basic word like arigato= thank you , ohaiougozaimasu = good morning , baka = idiot ......

in the time of written this post , i want you to know that i am not fluent but i want to share my humble experience with learning maybe it can help you .

-the first thing i advice you to learn is the letters so in each time you learn a new word you can write it and like that you will be able to memorize the letters easily during the process of learning .
there is 3 categories of Japanese letters :

1- Hiragana : this one is the most important , most of Japanese words are written with this letters . If you have a problem to remember it , you can check this webstie . Here some examples
by the way do you like my hand writing ??

2- Katakan : this letters are used to write foreign names and words . Some Japanese words have origin form other languages like dress = doresu , bus = basu , fork = fooka , coffe = cohi

Till now i still didn't learn the katakan's letters .

ps : my friend wrote my name in katakan

3- Kanji : oh the problem , kanji is not a letter , it's actually a word . Kanji origine is from Chinese language but this doesn't mean that all the Japanese kanji are used now in Chinese , some of them are but the pronunciation is different .
now how to learn kanji , i prefer to learn 1 kanji each day so you can remember them easily and like that you won't forget it .
Go to pintrest or google images and write "kanji learning" . The pictures that you find will help you a lot .
you can follow also some instgram accounts that teach you how to write and pronounce the kanji like : shioh shodo

Also you can use this book , it's very helpful , i don't remember from where i downloaded it .

And don't forget about how much some apps can help you , like kanji tree. i don't use app too much

here some kanji that i learned .

- choose a perfect YouTube channel to learn from :

at the beginning i started learning form Japanese society channel but when i arrived to lesson 10 , things start getting harder so i switched to an Arabic channel called seieddo sensei.
The difference between the 2 channels is that the first one you like memorize the sentence as it is so you will not understand why they order the words like this , but the second explain exactly how to forme sentence , it explains how to use this letter , how to write sentence . for example :
1-wa always comes after the subject and it's written like ha in hirgana but it pronounce wa ,
2-de after place or like when i say i write with a pen
3- but if i want to say i am with my friend , i use in this case "to" which mean with
4- ni for places
and other letter like e , o ...
so if you speak Arabic i advise you to start learning from the second channel .

-follow people on twitter who are interested in learning Japanese :
so you can help each other . Also follow Japanese people who are interested in learning your native language . You can help them and ask them for help .i always interact with my Japanese friends who learn Arabic and i pass a good time correcting their mistakes in Arabic but also i learn new words from their tweets .

- search for "simple Japanese" in pintrest where you can find pictures that help you to learn some expression with easy and fun way .

this is the end of the post , hope that you like it .

Hello everyone

And welcome to my blog , October is a month dedicated for breast cancer awareness . We all know at least one woman who has been effected by this disease . in 2012 there was 1 671149 new cases of breast cancer were identified .

It's so important to you to know the anatomical modification that can happen to the breast while the developing of a cancer and you should teach your daughter about it too .

the symptoms of breast cancer :

1- do a palpation by yourself once a week or once in 2 weeks , just to check if there is any lumps .

2- if there is an increasing of one breast size and the other no .

3- if there are lumps in the armpit area ( those lumps are the lymph node )

4 - check if there is any modifications of the skin . the skin will have the same texture as an Orange we called it " peau d'orange = orange skin "

5- the skin color turns red .

6- bloody discharge from the nipple .

7- or if there is retraction of the nipple or invert .

how to do breast-self exam ?

do it in 2 position while lying on your back and while standing . use your fingertips and do a circle mouvment around your breast . check also the nipple and gently squizze it to see if there is any discharge . don't forget to check if there is lumps in the armpite area.

What causes breast cancer ?

- Genetic factor : presence of the mutation of gene BRCA1 or BRCA2 Increase the risk of breast cancer but That doesn't mean that all the women who has this mutation will be affected .

- Hereditary : if a mother or if there is multiple women in a family has a breast cancer . The chances being affected by this disease increase . That's why when doctors receive a patient they advise her daughter to do a yearly screening . Hereditary means genetically transmitted .

- Radiation : only if you already did a radiotherapy session for other pathology .

- Estrogen : which is a female sex hormone . The increasing of estrogen augment the risk of breast cancer. This hormone has a direct effect on the breast cell and stimulate their multiplication .
the oral contraceptive are based on estrogen and progesterone , so the contraceptive are responsible of increasing estrogen rate and that's why the risk increase too , especially for women who take them for more than 10 years .

- Pregnancy : being pregnant at young age decrease the risk . I already said that estrogen stimulate the multiplication of breast cell , during pregnancy and breastfeeding, there is a system that inhibit estrogen secretion .

- Smocking , alcohol , unhealthy food , exposing to chemicals, all of those factor increase the risk of breast cancer .

At the end if you have any of this symptoms , check out your doctor . You can do a yearly screening in October ( where I live they offer it free in October )

quick information : did you know that men can also be affected by breast cancer but it's so rare , in my medical carer i only met 2 .

hello everyone

it has been a long time since i did "try it and review it " post . Today product is from Aliexpress . It is one of my favorite website to shop online , the majority of the products are affordable . I already published a post about less than 1 dollar items from Aliexpress don't forget to check it .

the product that i bought is a make up primer which you apply before using foundation , it's called 24k gold serum . it has 4.7 star and 758 reviews some of them are bad .

this is how it arrived , the package was damaged as you can see in the pictures , all the written in the package is with Chinese except for the part that you should do a patch test and don't use it for sensitive skin , I tried to use those photo translator app but it didn't work.

my first expression : although the package was damaged , the product was in good condition yay . the second thing that i noticed is the gold flakies are less than what is showing in the picture there . And by the way i really like the pipette thing lol .

the most important thing that it doesn't smell bad even the smell isn't so intense .

i apply a little bit on my hand - patch test - and as you can see in the pictures that there is only one small golden flaky . and the primer has a sticky consistence , i spread it on my hand and waited for about 5 -10 min or maybe less . well nothing happened to me i mean that i didn't notice any allergic reaction .

at the beginning it forms a thin layer but after some time my skin has absorb it .
then i applied my foundation , it preforms well .

moving to my face the most important one , the first thing the I want to say that I made a mistake by applying a important amount which take a lot of time to be absorbed , so the second time that I tried it , I used only small amount just to form a thin layer then wait until it get absorbed , I applied The foundation on it and it looks so good , no problem .
For the hydration effect I have no idea if it will work or not because I don't have this problem .
Also according to people reviews on the website , the product isn't suitable for dry skin . So I don't recommend to use it if your skin is dehydrate
Another point it does not help to get a brighter skin as it is shown in the pictures there or to reduce the pore .
So the conclusion the product can be used before applying The foundation. for other effects I didn't notice anything .

Hope that you enjoy this post , see you next time .
