Piercing on my birthday

 



Haha so I wanted to do piercing on my upper ear part from long time ago, but haven’t got time and always like lazy, oh I should book. Then COVID time didn’t make it easier as I have reason to postpone.

Yet today, on my birthday, I finally just made the appointment for the afternoon and NOW I have a Helix piercing on my right ear corner! 💝. 

Surprisingly I was not afraid but excited. The piercer was so nice and talk active, which really helped. He even got me a small discount because of the noise around his shop.

I had to fill in a form to check if I have any allergies or chronicle disease close to the area of piercing, and some more confirmations to make sure I’m okay for this. That’s required I guess. I asked if it’s painful and the piercer said for women it’s nothing haha…The piercer put some alcohol to clean area and put several dot markers for me to choose the place for the new hole. And it’s time 🤪 it’s just like half a second he put the needle in and out but it’s super painful… I had to hold myself to the chair… it’s done, it’s done, he said. Actually it’s quick but after like an hour I still felt the pain, not exactly like before but like an ant biting you. 

Haha yes but I have one now. The after care is a long process, 3-9 months to heal he explained. He also gave me the after care kit and instruction. I think it’s expensive here but with all the instructions and after care I feel more relief. 

Let’s see how it is after 3 months!!!

Update day 3: the first day was like ants bites but overnight it’s over. The swollen and red are reduced. Now I clean it with soap every evening and applied the salt and water mixed for 5 mins like the piercer guidance. It’s healing gradually. Hopefully by 2weeks I will not feel it

Update day 5: i forgot to dry the piercing area after cleaning and it got swollen and quite painful just the evening. Lesson learnt: the wound needs extra care, drying and keep it as high hygienic as possible

Update day 10: after 8 days looks like the wound is healing. Looks like new skin is born because its getting itchy around the area and it feels more comfortable sleeping over it.

A zoo experience

 Recently, I got interested in Coral reefs after reading a report on how coral reefs affects the biodiveristy . I read that the Burgers's zoo in Arnhem   has successfully bred tropical coral reefs , so we have to visit it. We arrived a little bit late so we had only 3h before it closed (at 5pm) to explore. It was a cold winter day, yet the sun was shining, which made it nicer to see the zoo view. The penguins welcomed us right after the entrance, they look so funny and chill. And it smelled very fishy - from the fishes that they ate. As we thought we didn't have enough time, so we head straight direction of the Ocean's part. We however got attracted by another experience - the tropical forest. Entering it was warm, and i felt immediately like I'm in Vietnam. They managed to mimic the warm humid tropical climate in such a nice cold country. Now I've already think my 29e zoo ticket worth its price :). I heard a lot of births chirping with different sounds and tone...

Cuộc dạo chơi cùng em mèo béo

Today is quite a sunny day.  After the recent cloudy, foggy and cold days, getting some nice sun is a treasure. After lunch, we decided to go for a walk around the house and to run some errands. I left Nam outside just at lunch time so he was still around at the front door when we got out. Should he be in our out? I'm always more cautious and want him to be inside while we are not home. But he, probably just like us, missing the sun, didn't get in the house. We said, well, let's go, he will be fine. But...Nam started following us. He's like 2 or 3 meters behind us, not so close, but not so far. He was actually running quite happily.  Nam- close to home, more confident, and at the big road more careful It's one block from my house, and Nam was still following. He's a bit careful, from time to time looked around and looked back, maybe to check where he was. He actually looked a bit like detective dog following us. I was still scared, asked J. if he could catch Nam...

Norway 3: Kayaking, glacier hiking and us

It felt like a movie when I woke up in the morning and opening the cabin’s door. In front of me was a large and beautiful lake, next to it was a huge and wide mountain. Some early sunlight got through the water just created a perfect scene. We had a typical roadtrip’s breakfast with slides bread, ham & cheese on a picnic table chair on the grass in-between the cabin and lake but it felt like eating wonderful food because of the view. “Meal with a view” is a common phase we used in our trip. Just stopped by somewhere, took the sandwich out, and you’ve got an amazing view to accompany your meal. Back to our breakfast, while we were silently admiring the nature, an active lady was kayaking on the lake. The view of her, the water tail created by the kayaking and the kayaking itself made a perfect morning picture. This is the first time I stayed in a cabin so its completely a new experience. Later on the trip we stayed over 3 more cabins and they were also different. But I would describ...
