好久没给大家消息了…对不起哦!
这段期间都忙着读书考试呢☺️😅
前几天也面对两项高难度的考试😰😰
就是【英国和澳洲护士专业文凭】线上考试💻📝…
太不容易了🥺…因为是闭卷考试,没有任何课本和笔记可以参考📔📒
考试时心跳加速💓,紧张刺激。。。
还有很多超级刁难的题目😅,
选择题竟然有2-3个答案😫或六选三😲五选二…
✅❎是非题也不饶人…
最后成绩出炉🎉🎉
第一科 80分🎀
第二科100分💯
这次考试及格分数高达80分,如果79就不及格了😬😬
好险哦😅😅比想像中难得多了😂虽然不容易,但一切都值得!
在疫情严峻的时刻🚨,我毅然决定了要报考【英国和澳洲护士专业文凭】
成为白衣天使👩🔬是我从小到大的心愿和梦想,也是我最喜欢的工作💖
很希望能亲自服侍和照顾有需要的病人😇
目前,全球也缺少真正懂得自然医学的专业护士,
因此希望自己能在这方面预备📝📔
将来有需要时可以投身在最前线抢救灵魂的工作🔥为社会做出贡献。
当然最近也看到报导提到前线非常的不容易😅😅好些医护人员都忍受不了
现今医疗紧迫的环境和病毒的施虐😰而放弃了这个最有意义和神圣的使命…
所以希望借此鼓励更多人能够投身其中🎀💓💖
全方位的为上帝抢救更多可怜的灵魂🏥不要被病魔和环境击倒🏹🏹
相信天无绝人之路,上帝必定看顾保守✝💝
大家继续往前冲💪💪💪
助人为快乐之本💝😆施比受更为有福!
祝福大家更健康坚强❤
💝正如人子来,不是要受人的服事,而是要服事人,并且要舍命,作许多人的赎价。太 20:28
So sorry for not updating everyone on my life!
I’ve been busy studying for my exams. ☺️😅
A few days ago, I was facing two difficult online exams, a professional diploma on nursing from both the UK and Australia.😰😰
It’s not easy... because it was a closed book exam, and I couldn’t refer to the textbooks or notes.
During the exam, my heart was pounding. It was tense and exciting. 💻
There were a lot of super difficult questions. 😰
Multiple choice questions actually have two to three answers, out of the five to six options, and true or false questions are not forgiving either...
In the end, this is what I got:
Subject 1: 80 points🎀
Subject 2: 100 points💯
The passing score is 80 points, so a 79 is a failing grade.
It was so close, much harder than I thought, but it was worth it!
At this time of the severe pandemic, I’d decided to earn professional nursing diplomas on nursing from both the UK and Australia.
It has been my dream to become a nurse since I was a child, and it’s also my favorite job.
I really wish to serve and take care of patients in need. 😇
At present, there is a shortage of professional nurses around the world who really understand natural medicine.
So, I hope I can prepare myself in this field. 📝📔
In the future, I hope to contribute to society by working on the front line to save souls when needed.
Of course, I have recently read reports that the front line is very difficult and some health care workers in other countries have had a hard time enduring it.
So far in this critical environment coupled with the viruses’ attack, some health care workers have been forced to give up on this most meaningful and sacred mission...
So, I hope this will encourage more people to join in to save more poor souls for God from being struck down by the illness.
Every cloud has a silver lining, ✝God will look after and preserve us.
Keep it up, everyone! 💪
💝It is more blessed to give than to receive!
May health and strength be with you always! ❤
Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. (Matt. 20:28)

Đề Cambridge IELTS 14 Test 2 - passage 2:
BACK TO THE FUTURE OF SKYSCRAPER DESIGN
Answers to the problem of excessive electricity use by skyscrapers and large public buildings can be found in ingenious but forgotten architectural designs of the 19th and early-20th centuries
A. The Recovery of Natural Environments in Architecture by Professor Alan Short is the culmination of 30 years of research and award-winning green building design by Short and colleagues in Architecture, Engineering, Applied Maths and Earth Sciences at the University of Cambridge.
'The crisis in building design is already here,' said Short. 'Policy makers think you can solve energy and building problems with gadgets. You can't. As global temperatures continue to rise, we are going to continue to squander more and more energy on keeping our buildings mechanically cool until we have run out of capacity.'
B. Short is calling for a sweeping reinvention of how skyscrapers and major public buildings are designed - to end the reliance on sealed buildings which exist solely via the 'life support' system of vast air conditioning units.
Instead, he shows it is entirely possible to accommodate natural ventilation and cooling in large buildings by looking into the past, before the widespread introduction of air conditioning systems, which were 'relentlessly and aggressively marketed' by their inventors.
C. Short points out that to make most contemporary buildings habitable, they have to be sealed and air conditioned. The energy use and carbon emissions this generates is spectacular and largely unnecessary. Buildings in the West account for 40-50% of electricity usage, generating substantial carbon emissions, and the rest of the world is catching up at a frightening rate. Short regards glass, steel and air-conditioned skyscrapers as symbols of status, rather than practical ways of meeting our requirements.
D. Short's book highlights a developing and sophisticated art and science of ventilating buildings through the 19th and earlier-20th centuries, including the design of ingeniously ventilated hospitals. Of particular interest were those built to the designs of John Shaw Billings, including the first Johns Hopkins Hospital in the US city of Baltimore (1873-1889).
'We spent three years digitally modelling Billings' final designs,' says Short. 'We put pathogens• in the airstreams, modelled for someone with tuberculosis (TB) coughing in the wards and we found the ventilation systems in the room would have kept other patients safe from harm.
E. 'We discovered that 19th-century hospital wards could generate up to 24 air changes an hour-that's similar to the performance of a modern-day, computer-controlled operating theatre. We believe you could build wards based on these principles now.
Single rooms are not appropriate for all patients. Communal wards appropriate for certain patients - older people with dementia, for example - would work just as well in today's hospitals, at a fraction of the energy cost.'
Professor Short contends the mindset and skill-sets behind these designs have been completely lost, lamenting the disappearance of expertly designed theatres, opera houses, and other buildings where up to half the volume of the building was given over to ensuring everyone got fresh air.
F. Much of the ingenuity present in 19th-century hospital and building design was driven by a panicked public clamouring for buildings that could protect against what was thought to be the lethal threat of miasmas - toxic air that spread disease. Miasmas were feared as the principal agents of disease and epidemics for centuries, and were used to explain the spread of infection from the Middle Ages right through to the cholera outbreaks in London and Paris during the 1850s. Foul air, rather than germs, was believed to be the main driver of 'hospital fever', leading to disease and frequent death. The prosperous steered clear of hospitals.
While miasma theory has been long since disproved, Short has for the last 30 years advocated a return to some of the building design principles produced in its wake.
G. Today, huge amounts of a building's space and construction cost are given over to air conditioning. 'But I have designed and built a series of buildings over the past three decades which have tried to reinvent some of these ideas and then measure what happens. 'To go forward into our new low-energy, low-carbon future, we would be well advised to look back at design before our high-energy, high-carbon present appeared. What is surprising is what a rich legacy we have abandoned.'
H. Successful examples of Short's approach include the Queen's Building at De Montfort University in Leicester. Containing as many as 2,000 staff and students, the entire building is naturally ventilated, passively cooled and naturally lit, including the two largest auditoria, each seating more than 150 people. The award-winning building uses a fraction of the electricity of comparable buildings in the UK.
Short contends that glass skyscrapers in London and around the world will become a liability over the next 20 or 30 years if climate modelling predictions and energy price rises come to pass as expected.
I. He is convinced that sufficiently cooled skyscrapers using the natural environment can be produced in almost any climate. He and his team have worked on hybrid buildings in the harsh climates of Beijing and Chicago - built with natural ventilation assisted by back-up air conditioning - which, surprisingly perhaps, can be switched off more than half the time on milder days and during the spring and autumn.
“My book is a recipe book which looks at the past, how we got to where we are now, and how we might reimagine the cities, offices and homes of the future. There are compelling reasons to do this. The Department of Health says new hospitals should be naturally ventilated, but they are not. Maybe it’s time we changed our outlook.”

The thought of taking my children solo on holiday used to make me so sad and scared. After a beautiful day at the seaside, I am no longer afraid. I know when the world opens up again, the kids and I will have a blast visiting different places and continue to make beautiful memories.
Hello hello guys! How are you? I know I've been a bit slow with vlogs lately. I've been enjoying life and it's pace. I've been taking lots of walks with the dogs and although I always bring my camera with me (have been for over a decade), I am learning to be more present in the moment. I know you guys understand. Sending you so much love and light from us. xo

Nothing makes me feel more like a grown up than when I’m doing my own gardening. PLANTS? ALIVE? FEEDING MY LAWN? WHO THIS?
I’m not gonna lie. My front garden has given me grief for a while. Each time I pull up in my driveway to see all those weeds I’m reminded how much I suck tending my garden. But life gets in the way so you automatically put kids, home, work, exercise, self time, social etc in front. Still it’s back of my mind and bothering me. Well, I finally decided to do something about my garden. I pulled out the weeds (and accidentally quite a lot of my actual plants unfortunately), I even bought my own lawn mower and it seems silly but I celebrated this little victory of cutting my own grass. Now I pull up in my driveway proud and in admiration of my little garden. It's not perfect but it's not how it used to be. Kinda like me.
On another note. I also never thought I’ll get to become such an outdoorsy girl. I’ve always enjoyed the nature but never quite had the chance to properly take it in until now. Happy to walk miles and miles with somebody who enjoys walking for miles and miles.
I do wish I enjoyed gardening as much as I enjoy looking at them though hehe...
It's been 2 weeks of eating better and I am feeling much more myself again!!

I recently started to watch some older K Dramas and sitcoms again and was appalled that despite not that long ago, how problematic the tone and messages were. This applied to lyrics from music from the 90s and 2000s. Sometimes, I will look back and I feel so much embarrassment and shame for the things I have said and done in the past. It made me realise how problematic we were and how it was normalised. Do you ever feel this way? Well, I read some wonderful insights that really helped me and I hope it enlightens you!
