Song Dream It Possible by Jane Zhang

This is among uplifting song in my phone playlist. I do love the lyrics. Makes me feel that everything is possible. Despite all hopes is gone. A good song to start my day daily.

Song lyrics: 

I will run, I will climb, I will soar

I'm undefeated

Jumping out of my skin, pull the chord

Yeah, I believe it

The past is everything we were

Don't make us who we are

So I'll dream until I make it real

And all I see is stars

It's not until you fall that you fly

When your dreams come alive you're unstoppable

Take a shot, chase the sun

Find the beautiful

We will glow in the dark

Turning dust to gold

And we'll dream

It possible

Possible

I will chase, I will reach, I will fly

Until I'm breaking, until I'm breaking

Out of my cage, like a bird in the night

I know I'm changing, I know I'm changing

In, into something big

Better than before

And if it takes, takes a thousand lives

Then it's worth fighting for

It's not until you fall that you fly

When your dreams come alive you're unstoppable

Take a shot, chase the sun

Find the beautiful

We will glow in the dark

Turning dust to gold

And we'll dream

It possible

Possible

Possible

Possible

From the bottom to the top

We're sparking wild fire

Never quit and never stop

The rest of our lives

From the bottom to the top

We're sparking wild fire

Never quit and never stop

It's not until you fall that you fly

When your dreams come alive you're unstoppable

Take a shot, chase the sun

Fnd the beautiful

We will glow in the dark

Turning dust to gold

And we'll dream

It possible

Possible

Possible

And we'll dream

It possible

My next step in containing the itchy dried skin

This is taken last 28 September 2021. Where the knuckle to my right point finger feel extremely dry and itchy. To the point I feel the dried skin might scrape off despite I just rub it when the itchiness arise. I have put on my homemade lips and face balm. Still unable to sooth it out. Then I remembered that I was blessed with type of *cream for very dry skin and eczema early this year. I go to wash my hands with soap. Pat it dry. Then put on thin layer of the *cream for dry skin. After that, the excessive itchiness reduced way better than using my homemade balm. Glad to be able to solve my sudden excessive dry skin condition. I think last time I faced such extreme condition is during 2015. Seems like my menstrual do flared up such dry skin condition again after almost 6 years. Really need to put into my condition notes for future reference. 

I take around 5 gm of the *cream for dry skin from large jar of 450 gm into smaller container. For easy access to use in daily basis. Which I bring along every time I move in my phone pouch. Really feel glad to start have better and more knowledge on skin condition and solution.

The look of 13 unit coconut fruits (kelapa pandan) planted at home

This is taken in the evening of 12 October 2021. Where finally 13 coconut fruits (kelapa pandan) have a promising growing development. Before this, it is 17 unit coconut fruits (kelapa pandan) last 3 September 2021 [1]. This is after a consistent usage of homemade fertilizer made from onion and garlic peels [2]. Which I start used since 28 September 2021.

Before this, I can only get up to 3 coconut fruits (kelapa pandan) per stalk. Unlike previously in May 2020 [3]. Which I suspected due to lack of few minerals in soils after 1 year growth. Despite I have put many compost fertilizer, coarse salt, wood vinegar and revival potion spray. Makes me put effort to make homemade fertilizer.

I diluted the homemade fertilizer with ratio 30 ml fertilizer with 3 liter non-chlorine water. I spray to the fruits, stem and also to the plant base. Spray with 2 days gap. So that the plant will have time to absorb the diluted homemade fertilizer. I would strongly advised to make patch test. With lower dosage of dilution. In order to avoid from burning or lilling the sprayed plant. Especially smaller plants like chili and etc.

I am very happy with my experiment and the bountiful outcome. Worth my time and effort.

Till then, have fun in getting good result with your homemade fertilizer.
