Happy Birthday, Dad!



This week was an okay week. I thank the Lord so much for helping me study for all my tests and quizzes so far this sem! I got a better grade in my science test this chapter (better than last time)! Yay!- still want some more improvement but hey, science is NOT my thang. To end a week of studying for the science test, we got to celebrate my dad's birthday today at Lieu's Bistro (one of the yummiest places on earth). God has blessed us so much- my dad another year, my mom almost another, and me too (in four months and a day!).
He got a free cake (well actually it was me and my mom who mainly devoured it);
I got free ice cream on my bday last yr.

FFD Success!!!

Class Officers:))
Once upon a time, Fiction Day was a success:)) Everybody loved the idea from the very beginning. Our party decorations would've been really lame if it weren't for the other group that came after our group; they put fall leaves chandeliers and Christmas lights up! We had a white elephant gift exchange/ "fairy god mother gift exchange" and a lot of people participated in that. I gave away Little Red's basket of goodies (2 boxes of cereal lol, kit kat, and lollipops) and I received a bottle of maple syrup... haha, I like syrup and pancakes^^ It was really funny when one of the guys only got 4 pieces of candy out of a vacuum box. We also played "the three little pigs housing project" where we tried our best to make a creative house out of toothpicks and marshmallows (it was okay, it was better than a spam carving project that was suggested!!). We were also planning another game where each person has a fiction character's name on their back and they try to guess who they are and find their famous partner (ex. Beauty/Belle with Beast), but we ran out of time:( It was a good idea too-- by my friend, Rapunzel (up there in the pic).
We had a best dressed contest and Gandalf up there won:) Of course, anyone who has a staff and magic wins right? Looking forward to more class parties!


one of the funniest costumes that day

The Invention That Will Change the Lives of Shoppers


        Have you ever ordered an item online and realized that it was cheap and ugly when it arrived on your doorstep? I have a black belt in shopping but yes, I have experienced this. My mom ordered me a pair of TOMS shoes in size five for my birthday last year, and I was so excited when she told me. I have really small feet, ranging from sizes four through six, so I was not sure if I would fit perfectly in a size five. When my TOMS arrived in the mail, the color looked different from the picture online, and the shoes were one and a half inches too big! My mom was willing to exchange them, but I read online that it costs ten dollars to exchange shoes. Therefore, I decided to just keep them since they were already pretty expensive, and I did not want my mom to have to pay extra. I am dealing with them now by stuffing socks inside; it is not completely comfortable but it works. From then on, I have not ordered anything from online, but I really want to change that since some stores I like do not exist here.
            My invention called Shopping 101 will change the lives of many shoppers and even get anti-shoppers to get on board and start shopping. Shopping 101 is an application that will let you try on merchandise and taste samples of delicious cuisine right from your office chair. All you have to do is go to a store’s website, click “try on” or “taste sample”, and the clothing or food you desire to try will simply appear in the Shopping 101 Box connected to your computer. The clothing is just a hologram though and will only last five minutes once you take it out of the Box. The food sample is also computer generated and will not fill your stomach, but it will contain the exact taste and smell of the real thing. If this invention sky rockets in the marketing business, and I believe it will, I will sell Shopping 101 to more companies like Home Depot and let customers try tools and gadgets. This will be such a wonderful and useful invention!
