I didn't do push-ups yesterday because I felt a little pain and fatigue in my breast.
I kept no-smoking for one year and 177 days in a row.
It's greatly sunny today for the first time in a long time so that I cannot believe
a typhoon is drawing near little by little.
If I remember right, last year's rainy season began on May 26th or so...
It's much earlier than usual.
On the contrary this year's rainy season will begin after the typhoon....
It may be much later than usual.
