Arizona....

So in case you haven't kept up with the news lately, on Wednesday morning a federal judge eliminated the passages of the Arizona immigration law that enables officers to check the status of an immigrant during an arrest, traffic stop, or detention. Also, the judge got rid of forcing immigrants to carry their citizenship papers and allowing officers to make warrentless arrest of suspected illegal immigrants.

I agree with what the federal judge has done. I do believe racial profiling will occur with this law. After 9/11 did people not look at Middle Easterners and even Indians with skepticism? If officers have to be on the look out for illegals there are going to look at all Hispanics with some suspicion. You can be an illegal at any age so that puts kids in that group of possible illegals. Don't forget officers have a quota to meet.

All an officer needs to check your immigration status is "suspicion." I remember Elizabeth Hasselbeck said on The View that an officer needs to arrest you, but that's not true. An officer can easily suspect someone of a crime. Especially if the officer has something against you. Also, imagine you are a legal citizen and walking down a street and an officer is behind you. I don't know about you but I'll be nervous and might walk faster because I know that officer is probably on my case. It's just like when I'm driving the speed limit and a police car is behind me. I'll be nervous. It takes that little nervousness for an officer to say he can suspect you of being an illegal. This is a major inconvenience for legal immigrants in the U.S.

I'm all for immigration reform, but I don't think Arizona is going about it the right way. If it were up to me, I'll have all the illegals become legals. That way they'll pay for taxes and help stimulate the economy. If they don't want to become legals, then that's fine too. They can leave safely. To find illegals I think the government needs to do a better job at checking immigration status for things involving public aid and tax payer money (i.e. hospital visits, education, etc). I don't think having officers check immigration status is a good idea because they can be bias.

I don't think having illegal immigrants become legal is a bad idea because they usually take jobs most Americans don't want anyway. I mean who wants to farm in the hot sun. Hopefully with the illegals, Americans will realize they need to step up their education to strive for better jobs.

On a another note, many illegals want to go back to their home country due to the recession but they can't because they'll be punished by the U.S. government. It is a lose-lose situation for them. Reform is definitely needed. It's just sad it took this long to be in the headlines.

Must Blog!

So today The View made history. For the first time on a daytime talk show a sitting President is a guest. I love watching The View. I love how these ladies speak their mind; although I sometimes disagree with them. My favorite co-host is Whoopi. Anyway many critics have criticize President Obama for being on The View instead of handling his presidential duties in the White House. My response to that is would everyone stop criticizing Obama. Seriously is the job of the President not to calm and put Americans at ease? How is being on The View any different than Obama making a State of the Union speech? After watching The View, I feel much at ease and more educated in where this country is heading. For example, I've learned that we are pulling out of Iraq by the end of this month and out of Afghanistan in July 2011.

Next, Elizabeth on the show needs to learn some manners. He is the President and deserves some form of respect. I know she's a die-hard republican, but her rudeness and her frustration with the President can easily be seen.

All I have to say about Obama's appearance on the show is HE IS FABULOUS! I love how he handled the questions, though he avoided some and I love how he was able to defend himself. KUDOS OBAMA! You make me proud to be an American!

While digging through my suitcase...

After I signed off online and was about to sleep, I decided to look at the new clothes I bought that were still in my suitcase. This still being Monday-the day I arrived. As I was digging in, a big spider was crawling around on my clothes. I got up to get tissues, but when I arrived I lost the spider. He must've dig into my clothes and hid somewhere. I was so pissed that I just closed my suitcase back up and hope it suffocates to death. 

So today I decided to wash my clothes. I couldn't find the spider as I was putting my clothes in the washer nor could I find it as I took it out. I hope it drowned to death in the washer. I really hope it didn't escape when I was getting tissues last night to kill it lol. 

My last post about my short vacation. FINALLY!

Day 7

Woke up early because my sis was a bum and forced me up. Ate really cold oatmeal. Oatmeal is never good cold. Was the first customer at Victoria's Secret. Got my 7 for $25 panties and a free pink mini dog. Went back home, played with the bunny for the last time. This time the bunny gave me a work out. He ran EVERYWHERE. It's so hard getting that bunny back into his cage. My sis had to help me. My sis helped me pack. We went ate lunch. We then had an hour break and then left for Milwaukee. We visited a park before we went to the airport to see Lake Michigan. We then went to KFC to grab some food for the airport. I didn't want to buy airport food. Then we got on the plane and here I am. Home sweet home. Wisconsin will be missed.

I'm starting to not remember lol

Day 6 of my short vacation

Hmm...what did I do? In the morning we went to eat at old country buffet for a buffet breakfast. Next we went to an off the road fishing site to feed ducks. Then we went to the arboretum, which I've been to MANY times. It was really hot that day and I got a mosquito bite :( Luckily I was able to catch the mosquito in it's act and kill it while it was sucking my blood. Then we went to the grocery store AGAIN and I got Inglorious Bastards . That movie lack substance. It was a joke movie. Too much foreign language too. I was basically reading the movie. I fell asleep watching and when I woke up it was like I didn't miss anything. I only woke up because the gun fire in the movie woke me up. We then went to walmart. Then we stayed in the house the rest of the evening. I played with the rabbit. I think it was this day that my brother-in-law caught a chipmunk in the yard. It was so scared and fiesty lol.

ARG!

OMG everyone knows I hate ppl singing/humming. My dad has been humming for the last 10 mins and I am so close to telling him to shut up!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is all.

Now he won't stop playing old chinese songs that my bro-in-law gave him. Gosh I had to listen to that music for days in WI and now in MD too???? UGH!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not them listening to music that irritates me; it's how LOUD it is.

Opinions please

I always wonder do people see me as childish and immature on facebook. I also wonder if I appear blatantly  mean. I ask because sometimes people seem so annoy with the things I say to them on facebook. I'm wondering if I've gone too far or is it them over reacting. I want to change if I'm doing something wrong. I just like to have fun and make people laugh, but sometimes I do realize I can go too far. Honest opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah for the 80 cents tolls!

Day 5 of my short vacation

On this day we woke up extremely early to go to Chicago. We left the house at 7 am. We were suppose to get there at 9, but didn't get there till 11:30. Unfortunately there was traffic going into Chicago and my brother-in-law decided to take the local way, but the GPS kept messing the local way up so we ending up driving in circles for a good 2 hours. :( Chinatown is so disgusting no matter where Chinatown is. Chinese people are not the most hygienic people unfortunately. We ate dim sum for breakfast. It was not as good as I would have liked it to be. My dad was being stubborn and not eating because he feels that dim sum is very unhealthy. We then walked around Chinatown to do ginseng and Chinese movie shopping. Chinese people can be so stubborn and manipulative. We then went to see the bean at millennium park. We walked around the park for a while and then walked to see the water front. We wanted to go to navy pier where I went last time, but my dad was really tired and he hated the heat. We sat for a long time at the waterfront in front of yachts and then we went back to Chinatown for dinner. We then went to super Han Ah Reum in Chicago, brought some more groceries and then left Chicago. We wanted to do more in Chicago, but my dad is old and can't keep up. My sister told me if I come back in the winter, we'll stay in Chicago so I could see more and visit the museums. The drive back went smoothly. We arrived back home at 9 pm. My brother-in-law, sister, and I went to redbox and they chose the movie The Crazies to watch. It was such a dumb movie. It's like I Am Legend, but it explains how the people became ill. Such a dumb-dumb movie.

Wisconsin have so many weird names

Day 4 of my short vacation

On this day my brother-in-law took off from work. I was woken up really early in the morning and we visited the state capitol of Wisconsin. It looks exactly like the state capital of D.C. We went inside and saw the beautiful dome with all the angel paintings. We then went close to the roof and got out on the balcony to enjoy the view. It was very breezy up there and refreshing although it was drizzling. The rain eventually top by the afternoon. After the capitol we visited the zoo, which I've been to like a thousand time. We went because my dad never been. I finally got to see lions at that particular zoo and also penguins. The visit to the zoo was very brief for it is very small and it was still raining. We then picked up my sister from work and went to my brother-in-law's job for lunch. They serve really good lunch there. I had salmon with rice and something like quiche. Next we went to Devil's lake which I have already been too. I made sure I had a lot of bug spray on me. I'm tired of bug bites, which I eventually got too. We walked 75% of the mountain. We didn't reach the top because my parents were tired. The way down for me was very difficult because I guess after so many years of not been mountain climbing, I have developed a fear of heights. A very big fear of heights. Also, my sister's tennis shoes were kinda slippery. We then went home for dinner and then later on that evening my sister took my back to the mall for clothes shopping. I got a few shirts and my sister brought me another earring. :) I'm not done with my shopping completely. I hope the coupon for VS still works for the 7 for $25 deal. That I'll do back in MD.

Now where did I left off...

Day 3 of my short vacation

My sister took me to the mall after lunch and I was upset because I don't like going clothes shopping with my parents and I don't like being rushed and timed while I shop. I was only given 45 mins and for me that is not enough to do all my clothes shopping for the coming school year. So we ended up just walking around the mall for 45 mins until it was time for me to get my facial. I absolutely loved my facial. I was given the option of a hand or foot massage to go along with it and I chose a foot massage because every time I ask my "friends" for one they say no and I really want a foot massage lol. So the facial was really nice. It was an hour long facial. They helped clear my pimple, which was nice. The lady massaged not only massaged my foot but my shoulders too. I must say the lady massaged my shoulder really really hard. I was in pain and I couldn't overcome my shyness to tell her to be more gentle. Pathetic; I know. :( Unlike other spas I've been too, she spent the entire 1 hour pampering me with no breaks. After that we did more grocery shopping, which I'm starting to despise. During the evening I don't think we went anywhere because it was storming outside. There was a tornado warning. Not a big deal over here since people here are pretty used to it lol.

Hot Off the Press

http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/07/22/drugged.children.parenting/index.html

Your kids are acting up. They won't be quiet and are running around everywhere. You don't want to hit them for that'll make you an abusive parent so what do you do? Drug them! You are stress out and instead of wasting your own energy in disciplining them, why not take the energy out of the kids? Drugging kids could also be a form of punishment if they are naughty. You are not harming your kids by drugging them. You are just relaxing them. Adults take drug to relax too so why not kids?

Seriously, are people insane? What on earth would make grown adults think that it is okay to drug their child. Of course you'll give your child cold medicine when he/she has a cold, but to give them cold medicine so they'll be quiet and fall asleep is totally out of line. How would you feel if you found out your parents drug you as a child? No foreigners would drug their child in America. Foreigners are not afraid of discipling their kids. Parenting is all about communicating with your child. By drugging them, they are not communicating with their child. They are trying to take the easy way out. Some argue drugging them is their way of not spanking them. I honestly think that children who have been spanked turn out to be more obedient. The last line of the article reads, "Sometimes, parents need a break or want their kids to sleep a little longer or sleep at all, she added." Do they know how selfish that sounds? All I have to say to that is do you really consider yourself a parent? A parent means dealing with your child 24/7. Sure your child may drive you nuts, but that is the essence of being a parent! I was a lot for my mom to handle, but she was able to raise me along with my sister even with a job! She was also able to cook food for the family everyday too. 

As the article points out, there are many serious health side effects. One being DEATH! I don't know about them, but I can't live knowing I killed my child because I drugged them to be quiet. I would sacrifice anything to hear their laughter, screams, and cries again.

I could go on and on, but I think I'll stop here before I start writing a book. Please read the article. I posted the link above. I am so disappointed with society today.

Music Update

Christina Aguilera's song You Lost Me is such a beautiful ballad. Sad song but such a powerful song.

Please Don't Go by Mike Posner isn't bad either.

I hate to say this but I'm kind of into Taylor Momsen dark music. She has a good voice. Her latest song is called Miss Nothing!

In case you are wondering where I'm find all these songs from, it's from perezhilton.com. I <3 Perez Hilton :)

Update: Katy Perry has just debuted her newest single Teenage Dream.

Watch out for that cow!

So today my mom try to wake me up at 6 am because I told her I want to take morning walks with her and my dad. Well since I didn't get much sleep the day before, I refused to get up. I woke up around 9 something, but not naturally though. Something fell in my room really loudly. I looked all around the floor to see what fell, but didn't see anything. Creepy huh lol.

So today was another boring day. The rabbit was having diarrhea poop today lol. I went grocery shopping in the afternoon. Gosh that's all my parents like to do. We went to Super Walmart and then to a chinese grocery store. We brought $100 worth of food. I didn't cook today. I'm such a bum lol. I also didn't eat breakfast today either because I was too lazy to make my own breakfast. I know I'm pathetic lol.

After dinner we went to my brother-in-law's work head quarters and took lots and lots of pics. I was the one who insisted on bringing a camera. You may think it's weird to take pics at someone's job, but you'll see the cool  pics when I feel like posting them on facebook.

I'm considering making a food blog. I want to blog about my cooking when I actually feel like cooking lol. Hopefully tomorrow will be a more interesting day.  :)

Hello to Cow Country

So I'm in Wisconsin right now and I figure I'll write about my trip. Enjoy :)

Yesterday, I arrived in Wisconsin. When I landed I was pissed. My phone wouldn't turn on and I didn't save the number onto my sim card and stupid TSA cut off the lock of one of my luggages when I clearly had a TSA approve lock. Luckily my sister got my phone to work and at least TSA didn't steal any thing inside my luggage. 

The car ride back to Madison from Milwaukee was brutal. We had to immediately go back to Wisconsin because my brother-in-law had to go to work and my silly parents brought shrimp to Wisconsin that needed to be in the freezer. I don't know what's up with my parents and shrimp. I remember back in middle school, my parents gave the girl's family that always give me rides shrimp lol. The ride was brutal because I was extremely hungry, the car ride was super long and I felt like vomiting.  

When we got to my sister's house I was introduce to her pet rabbit. Usually he would by scared or ignore visitors, but he loved me and let me pet him. I could go on about the rabbit, but I don't think you guys want to read about it lol. 

My sister gave me two gifts when I arrived. Two pairs of beautiful earrings because I was complaining I was missing earrings. I still want to know where my missing earring went lol. Next, we went shopping for grocery. Nothing interesting there lol. 

When we got home, I played with the rabbit for a while and then my sister and I cooked dinner for everyone. My greatest fear in cooking is when the hot oil splashes on me. I told my sister I want to wear goggles when cooking and she laughed at me lol. Also, I have a bad habit of being too slow and burning the food when cooking :(

Later on we went to UW campus. It's really pretty. Too bad I didn't have a camera with me at that time. I would've taken pics. :( The view of Lake Mendota  with all the beer drinking people and sails were stunning. We then went to visit the library and it's creepy and I can't believe you need to check in with your id to get in. UW is such a big campus. It's the literal definition of a college town. You HAVE to bike to class or else you won't make it lol. The dorms look ugly on the outside though. Can you believe they put a chiming bell right in front of the dorms. Some people won't be getting any sleep lol. 

There are sooooo many Asians on the UW campus and like CP all of them are couples lol. Also, because the campus is right next to Lake Mendota, there are soooo many mosquitos. I better not get any bug bites. My skin gets really messed up when I get bitten. I mean it's already bad enough I have a giant pimple right now. Can't take any pics because of it. :(

Ok that sums up my yesterday. I will write about today when today is done. I know I didn't do much yesterday, but my family hardly gotten any sleep. I only had an hour's worth of sleep. 

Lake Mendota Terrace

*Yawns*

I can't take it anymore!!!!!!!! I'm sooooo bored. Summer is soooo boring. I have come to the conclusion that my life is meant for school or work. Lazy days are not for me.. Everyone is having fun this summer and what am I doing? Getting fatter and fatter as each day passes. Oh gosh I can not wait to go to Wisconsin. At least I'll have my sister's rabbit to entertain me lol. Of course I can clean my house which I've been procrastinating for a few months nows, but it's toooo hot. I'm immobile and extremely cranky when I'm hot. Gosh...I complain a lot, but I don't care. It's not like anyone is reading this blog anyway. I just write because there's no one to talk to or there's no one with I can share my thoughts. It's so hard not to end a sentence with a preposition lol.  


On another note...these are the ways you know that I only like a boy as a friend:

• I'm mean to them
• I joke with them a lot
• I "act" like I like them
• I touch them playfully

I wish people would stop with the nonsense of I like so and so. 

That is all for now; I'm starting to get a headache. Gosh summer needs to END!!!!!!!!!!!


P.S. I like the song Forever in my Life my JoJo. 

Songs

Here is a list of songs I just absolutely adore at this moment: 

• I never told you - Colbie Caillat
• Try - Melissa Polinar
• Where are you now - Honor Society
• Jar of Hearts - Christina Perri
• Secrets - One Republic

Honestly I only wrote this list in case I forget and I'm need of good music lol

New Layout

Yeah!!!!!! I finally changed my layout. No more bright headache huh? lol So I'm in so much pain right now. My gums are swollen. I know you guys don't want to read about my swollen gums lol. I know I complain a lot. I'm a work in progress HA. I really want to play tennis, but I have no one to play with :( I really want to make it a goal to get fit and live a healthier life. I only have one life to live and I should make the most out of it. 


So today I had a friend that proposed a list of questions for me to think about over the summer. I told her I would rather answer those questions now because the questions she proposed are questions whose answers do not change within a month's time. I want to share with you the questions and my answer. Maybe it'll allow you to get a feel of who I really am :)



1. How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?
- If I didn't know how old I was, I wouldn't care how old I would be. Age is just a number. It's how you act that matters the most.
2. If you had the opportunity to get a message to a large group of people,wat would your message be?
- That message would be "Be Yourself." Everyone on Earth was put here for a reason and they must fulfill their own destiny. We as people have a habit of living to the dreams of others. 
3. What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you?
-  I wouldn't do anything differently. It's not about people judging me that I'm worried about. It's about me judging myself.
4. Have you done anything lately worth remembering? 
- Everything is worth remembering.
5. Would you break the law to save a loved one?
-  Laws can be appealed. Love ones come once in a life time.
6. When it's all said and done will you have said more than you've done?
-  Yes, I would have said more than I've done. We can all talk the talk, but we all can't walk the walk.
7. Which activities make you lose track of time?
- Any activitity bringing about happiness makes me lose track of time. When you are happy, time doesn't matter.
8. If you could do it all over again would you change anything?
- No I wouldn't change anything. Everything that has happened made me who I am today.
9. What is the difference between living and existing?
- Living is with a purpose. Existing is without a purpose. 
10. If you had a friend who spoke to you in the same way that you sometimes talk to yourself, how long would you allow that person to be your friend?
 I will allow that person to be my friend forever, because they are basically me and I would want to be friends with me. 
11. If you had to teach something what would you teach?
- I would teach how to enjoy the beauty of life, for many people fail to see the beauty of their existence and their surroundings.
12. Time or money?
