I have no idea what cystitis is until my friend Grace told me about it. She told me about it because she was suffering from it and boy I could hardly imagine the pain that she has to go through. What bothered me most was when she told me that women or highly susceptible to this disease. Why was I bothered? I’m male so why should I be bothered at all?

A lunar eclipse is something that is not passed-up by weirdos like me. Ok, I’m not really a weirdo but many people call me so because I love going out at night upto early dawn just to look up the sky and take a look at the stars, the moon, the planets, comets, and meteors.
