How many times have you undergone an operation? Not many, right?
But this angel of a girl had 18 major operations, six times her age. Even worse, the doctors do not even know the name of the disease that constantly makes her to bleed. She does not even have any part of stomach anymore because of excessive bleeding from the stomach. Without special nutrient food and transfusion, she can not live.
Despite living in a ho
spital for most of her life and having numerous painful surgeries, she never loses her sense of smile. She is always playful and cheerful. Almost everybody in the hospital knows her due to her bright personality and her maturity. One time, she gets shots. As matter of course, she is crying with pain. After the shots are done, she says “Mom, I’m sorry.” She is the one who had undergone a excruciating process, but this four year girl genuinely consoles her mom instead. This means that at the age of four, she thinks more of her mom’s sadness than of her own pain. Regardless of her maturity and bright personality, her illness gets worse. She started to have a bloody stool, day and night. Her parents have no choice, but to let medical team undergo a surgery in order to cut off the body parts with the hole. After nerve-racking hours, she came back safely. The doctor found the bleeding part and successfully cut it off. Yet, her illness isn’t completely cured. According to the news, she, now, readmitted to the hospital, still fighting to overcome her disease.
After I heard about her disease, rapidly worsening, I was literally pissed off. I mean I don’t get the reason why the god would make this young girl to suffer hell. He even lets a murderer, who murdered more than 11 people, stay alive in the prison. For example, Young Chal Yu, a Korean psychopathic murderer who killed 11 women and senior citizens for joy, is still alive. He even allows people, who raped a young girl, to get out of the prison and have a second chance in living. He even turns a blind eyes on drug dealers, who brutally kill his opponents and their family. But, why is he making this girl, the girl who had never committed a crime and even apologized to her mom for being sick, suffer? Why does he seem as if he is reluctant to save this angel?
To my questions, I can not answer. All I can say is it may be because of her fate.It might be her task to fight the illness with determination and diligence. So, I hope this girl will bravely combat the disease.

Today’s post is special. Unlike any other posts, I wrote a literary work. I pretend I was a British military officer, living in Singapore in around early 1900s. Hope you enjoy!
Dear Diary,
It’s been seventeen years. Seventeen years of living with gruesome Chinese. Seventeen years of living in the place where I could only find mangrove swamps, rubber plantations, and secondary forests. Seventeen years of hearing the noise from construction of the first naval base in this bloody awful place. Briefly, I’m living the most boring, sickening, and meaningless life. I mean there isn’t anything to do in this small island where only million needless Chinese live. Furthermore, I don’t get the reason why they sent us here. The commander cites it’s because of the threat of rapidly growing Imperial Japan, which colonized almost the entire Asia pacific region. But, come on, does this make sense? It’s not possible because Japs don’t have the power to take the property of Great England. It was just luck and other’s help that they took a control over islands and lands in East Asia. For example, without Great Britain’s support in Russo-Japanese War in 1900, they weren’t able to occupy Korea. And according to what my friend (Klein), who flew all the way to Singapore from U.S.,said Japs received German’s formal colonies Pacific – Caroline, Marshall, and Mariana Islands- rather than earning them. I asked him in what way did they received the chain of islands. He answered that our high-positioned officers, such a generous benefactors, granted the colonies as the compensations for participating in the World War with us.Even If they do attack our base in Singapore, they would be smashed by our “Fortress Singapore”. We just got a Force Z, a powerful warship, and the most modern version of battleship, HMS Prince of Wales. With these robust armaments, we could beat them without difficulty. Hence, I think “Fortress Singapore” doesn’t need me. I hope my commander will permit me to return back to my home. If I am able to leave Singapore, I would go to Indochina first and meet my dearest girlfriend. She is a lovely lady I’ve known for twenty years. She’s originally from France, but spent 10 years of her life in England- mostly for education. Now, she’s in Indochina, one of the French colonies for rubber plantations. I already proposed to her on the letter, which she may by now I have received. As soon as I meet her, I’ll taker her and her money to my birthplace, so that I could spend rest of my life without financial crisis. Because a low positioned military officer, like me, gets low payment, I’ve always lived in poverty. Therefore, marrying her is the only solution for me to get out of poverty. I heard she is wealthy because she got an inheritance from both of her dead father and husband. Also, I love her personality ; she works even if she has enough money to live on. Ah….Now, all I can do is pray for breakdown of Japs force and convince my head officer to send me back to England, so that I could go back and get out of this country land. Seriously, diary, I hate those barbarians, short, weak, arrogant, Japs, who constantly block my way to happy life.
