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.

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.
