I want to be Japanese Cherry Blossom Tree.

I like Japanese cherry Blossom, they beauty of the tree just amazed me.
These trees attract attention from people around. Japan cherry blossoms symbolize clouds due to their nature of blooming. In Japan people can drank sake and had lunch under the tree. Laying under trees can smooth your emotion throughout the  day. Tokugawa Yoshimune the famous shogun ruling and he planted the trees.


Most public school and building have cherry trees outside them. "Sakura" in Japanese word are mean cherry, so many people call  sakura the cherry trees.

Reaction Toward the Art Tour

I kind of like the tour because I got to see these wonderful paint that are avalible to anybody. There are fews things that bother me while on this tour. One major problem was that our tourist, he want us to answer question about the art such as what is the color, what is the element, shape, and other art related question. I really not like that he want to answer when we not even the background story about these art. The second major problem is that he spend too much time on asking the question on one art work that we don't have time looking at other art piece. I didn't really like the art that he saw us, but more interested in other art he can't explain about. I hope that he next time would be more specific about the art and the background of the art that make it interesting. I believe he had spent 10-15 minute in one art, therefore we only got to talk about 4 art overall, and I not like any of them. Overall I do enjoy look at unique art work, but not the tour.

My miserable week!!!

This week, I been afraid of facing it, but it came so quickly. I think this week would be my miserable week because of the time I spent on my study all weekend just for 3 scary tests I have to take. Today, I have to take 2 tests one in Health Care, which I more scare today for this test because I don't really know what to study for, the professor just gave us a sheet say what is on it and what is not. Next my second test of the day is public speaking midterm, which I think I can do pretty good at it, because this professor review with us and explain how easy was the test going to be, I really like that she helped us out. The worst part of this week is not Tuesday, but its Wednesday. Why Wednesday? Because the most important and hard test is on this day, I'm too afraid to go to class that day, no matter how hard I work on this subject I just not get it. The answer is either wrong or right. This class is Trigonometry. I always why would I want to take that class, but I not know I wasn't thinking when I pick the class, I just want to get it over with, so I didn't care what classes I'm taking. But now I learned my lesson if I'm going to take harder classes I should just takes less classes such as not 15 credit classes per semester it just too much stress to handle. I think max. 4 classes which is 12 credits and also take a 1 credit hour class would be good as well. I will try my best, I believe I can score the result that I wanted if I just try harder and study harder as well.

Tests

I hate taking on Scranton paper, because it more work just to put on the paper. I just teacher are just as lazy to grade the paper individually than use the stupid machine to grade it for them. Scranton is just fast, but I not think it's as right as the teacher.

The day I turn 19.

This Thursday March 24, 2011 was my brother and my birthday on this day we kind of didn't plan anything special because it was not as important in our family, mom say birthday is just another day getting older. As I know my brother and I are unique in our own ways. So I think I should celebrate with him since it his birthday also anyway. On this day we also tell ourselves to buy a lottery to bring luck, but I were so busy we forgot about anything like that. That morning we went to breakfast together we met at Ihop one of our favorite breakfast place. I was so hungary I ate about 3 stack of pancake, eggs, bacon, and big omelet that we decide to share since he not so hungary. I thought since it our birthday we should go shopping I can only shop around an hour because morning class start at 11:00 am. After that we went our separate ways, he went to work, and as for me school of course.  I still have to go to all my classes, so I also reward myself to our school best Plamier Heart dessert which I can eat 2 to 3 a day, but lately I try to cut sweet.

Palmier Heart

The Plamier heart also put a smile on my face I just think is that good. Here a picture of Plamier heart . It's too small in this image, but usually its long and wide. This would be my birthday my parent this year didn't buy and cut for us. Sad, but it's alright I'm have this is just enough. After school, all I have is work work and work. The only best part of my day is people called, texted, and fackbook me said happy bday. I loved people remember my special day. I can't yet when I turn 21, but in that road I still want to enjoy the 19th and 20th birthday. Each year, different things can happen and it can be good or bad. We don't know!!!

My tour at Nerman Museum.

Do you know there is a Nerman museum at Johnson County Community College?
Here is a  image of outside of the museum which look like a art as well.

The Outside of Nerman Museum


The arts there are just as amazing as any art gallery in the world to me. The unique building structure that pop out from other building in JCCC. It's arty design such as a long rectangle box with white coating and clear glass windows and doors. When I walked in it bright from the color white and next to this museum their is gift shop with unique things that people make and also a good place to eat "The Cafe Tempo"  serve with delicious food. Two floor of art that people would enjoy, not only inside the museum have the art, but also throughout the college campus.  This special website will tell you more about the museum.  http://www.nermanmuseum.org/
Here some picture from the website of my favorite art.

This is jacket that I heard were made from dog tag by a guy who was in army during South Korean war, he thought to honor does people who serve in our country. I know that the dog tag have no mean of just random words. I really like this it's just to unique and strange at the same time.

I also like this image of art, because I know it royalty like.

I not know about the background of this art, but I know one of the JCCC drew this and I just like how he make it's so modern and royalty like.

The Nerman Museum is a great place to enjoy the beauty of art and what we can learn from it. It free to tour the place, so I hope many people would visit this wonderful place. 

I really enjoy the tour, but I didn't got to see a lots of other wonderful art, so next time I would like to go back and enjoy it again.

What am I going to do on Spring Break ?

I always enjoy spring break even though I have to work. I enjoy the spring break because it gives me time to organized the school work and enjoy time without worrying about school. I know a lots of people is going to Hawaii somewhere warm or to visit family. But for me, my family is visiting me. My 3 cousin Alexis, Chen, and Sebastian all 3 of them are coming over and to stay for few days. I'm excited because that I haven't seem them for a while. They not live far away only Kansas City, Missouri. I know it's not that far, but because of all the school time and work time; we just not have social life. I haven't seem them about a month now since our Chinese New Year. My family are important to me, so I loved to stay close by them. When they come over I hope to take them shopping, tour somewhere else, and eat. We all loved to eat. I know spring break is just few day of a break, it's not enough, but I am grateful that I got to spend time with my cousin here.
I hope everyone have a good break.

Mother Tongue By Amy Tan

When I read this journal in my English book, I think it something that can relate to me. Mother Tongue is a story that describe the mother speak a limited English throughout her life. When her mother speak English to the other people such as in department store, bank, restaurant and etc. Those people pretend not to understand her and think that she don't deserve a good service. She grew up as a replacement for her mother, she translate, compliant, and yelled for her mother. She was growing up to help her mother against the world of English. Because she grew up with her mother, as for her she think that her mother English is clear and understandable, but in a way Amy was a little ashamed of her mother English because it was not imperfect to her. Amy Tan said that in school she was never perfect with English, but always do so well in other subject.

In this story, I say that it relate to me because my life was more like that. I'm the oldest of two in the family so I have to translate everything for my parents such as letters, report, and other things in English. I was often pretend to be my mother so I can help her ask about some bill problem. I don't like to complaint about things, but I do often complaint about the bills that my mother receive. As I grew older it doesn't get easier, she been asking me to do everything. I not mind, but it just make me mad in someway that I have to be the mother of the house help with things that I don't want to do. I just want to be a regular teenager girl for once.

Just Be Nice

The Norton Field to Writing with Reading
(pg. 583- 587. Just be Nice,  by Stephen L. Carter)

This article is an argument comparing the manner from his past to now. He believe that the values of each person are different from now and then. He would consider that his past are better than now. In his article, he explained that in school teacher are allowed to punish student and they would taught the manner of life for example they way we talk on phone and how we place our silverware on the table. In this century, our teacher teach what is trendy like our sexual, drug, and things that we might not realized we would talk about during those days.
In so ways, I agree with his argument because a lots of student would be disrespectful toward their teacher and parents. They would judge people and speak whatever they want to say. Maybe, I think now that people have more ideas and personal value toward different things that appear different to them. People would express differently as they think what they are. I do like the way that people can speak what they believe in and follow what they think is right. A lots of people might agree or disagree what I think is right or what he as the author think is right so that is personal value.

Have you been to Chinatown, NY?

I was raised in Chinatown, NY. The people there and the food were awesome. I missed going back especially missing the delicious seafood and fresh food. I remember my favorite drink everyday was the bubble tea with the black chewy pearl which serve with fresh warm pastry every morning.  The best thing about living in Chinatown is that food is twice as good anywhere else for example there are oriental Chinese food, the dim sum, and many other choices of items.

Let me tell you about Chinatown in New York. 

Chinatown, NY

This website below show the best place to go in Chinatown.

http://thenyknow.com/2011/02/best-of-chinatown-in-nyc/

Dim Sum

There are the Jing Fong Restaurant which was known for the best Hong Kong dim sum cart with serve choices of rice noodle with pork, mini egg tarts, and taro dumpling. 

These are most of my favorite choices.

Bubble Tea

When I’m in Chinatown I would go to May’s Bakery for their famous bubble tea drink which is very cheap. Also they sell good variety of dessert. 

I think the coolest place to visit in New York was the Mahayana Buddhist Temple, which is free and inside have this big Buddha which I admired a lot. People use incense to pray and put them on this big round bowl of incense that other people put in already. According the article from www. Ny.Com that, New York City’s Chinatown is the considering the largest Chinatown in the United States. Whenever there is a big special Chinese holiday, they would have some kinds of show or performance. Especially when they had the Chinese New Year they would have dragon and all kinds of dance or party. As for me, I would love to live in Chinatown again. This place is just a wonderful place for people who loved Chinese culture.
