Druck, J. (2011, April 18). Growing up too fast? Daily Titan, retrieved from: http://www.dailytitan.com/2011/04/18/growing-up-too-fast/

The article is all about the change in children between the age from 10 to 12 year-old kids. The author argues that the kids nowadays are growing up too fast because of society. The author's argument is about cause and value claims. First, she mentions that clothing stores contribute to the sped-up growth (para.6) For example, kids go to clothing stores to buy clothes that are not suitable for them. Second, she also mentions the media's role in causing kids to grow up too fast. In Paragraph 9, she states that cast member Vanessa Hudgens of High School Musical has appeared nude all over magazines. I think, the author is right, kids are influencing too much not only in media field, but also in clothing. That what leads them to become more mature than their age.

The article provides me an overview about the iPad2 which I can compare my survey with Snell.

Research question about the ipad

On Wed, I learned how to do a research paper. To be honest, it's not my interesting part of writing a research paper since I have no idea about citing. It's so complicated! Anyway, I have to learn how to do it. After thinking of many topics, I chose Ipad to be my topic. I start looking on wikipedia to look for info about the ipad. Amazingly, it pop up with bunch of info which you can do research on that. Hopefully I can find the useful source on this website. I started to think about some research questions about my topic such as how might the ipad's apps be used to support teaching and learning in a course or Are there any improvements and suggestions for future software or What is the usability of the ipad.
I've done many research about the ipad before and it seems an very interesting topic. As you may know, Steve Jobs is very successful in Apple company. He represented Apple to introduce the second generation of the ipad, which is the Ipad2, released on March,11,2011. The Ipad2 is 30 percent thinner than the original one come in at only 3.4 inches thin. The bezels surrounding the screen are available in 2 colors: black and white. Both look extremely stylish and you won't regret choosing either one.
The new Ipad feature the duo core A5 chip. the next step up from Apple 1 core A4 chip. The duo core processor will make running and launching apps twices fast. The graphic processing is also prove 9 times than the original one. That means running game will look better than before.
Also, the Ipad2 now feature 2 cameras and have video phone. It has a front camera and a back camera.
People were so exciting to wait for the new coming ipad because of it various apps. Thinner, lighter and faster are the main characteristic which the ipad bring to customer.
While doing ipad research, I'm still looking for the some improvements and suggestions for future software about the ipad2. I've already bought one, hopefully it is the right choice for getting it. 

spring break is comin'

Wow! Time goes so fast. To be honest, I don’t have the definition about timing. I think everyday is the
same, if ya see me and stop by to ask for what is the date today. Well, for sure, u will probably get nothing
from me….’coz I have no idea.
For me, everyday is a gift, everyday is joyful, no pain, no sorrow, be happy n be strong has become my strategy to follow recently. So spring break is not a big deal to me, it’s also just like any days in a week. I also don’t have the definition of “weekend” coz everyday is weekend.

This Spring Break, I haven’t thought of any good idea to make a plan. There are a lot of places I haven’t gone yet. I might think of planning to SF, Vegas, WC or San Jose. I think it’s more fun if I go to Vegas
coz I can make money there, otherwise I can lose some Lolz I also think about visiting my aunt who lives in
Long Beach now, it’s koo to stay in her house so that I can enjoy her food. Clubbing is also in my waiting
list. Well…..will c
PS: before Spring break I hv bunch of hw and essays to do, mid- term is coming before the spring break. My gosh! feeling so dizzy

speaking animal

What would happen if animals could talk? What are some of the questions you would like to ask animals?
well.... I may think it's a little weird if animals could talk, but it's koo though if they can speak human language. we have communication between human and human, so y don't have communication between human and animals?? isn't that koo if they could speak the same language as we do? I love pet , I owned a very cute sexy chubby mini guinea pig. He is so cute. I hold and feed him everyday. I love to feed him 'coz whenever I pick up the food he will jump as high as possible to indicate that he is happy. Even though he couldn't speak up, he uses his gestures to show me how happy and sad he is. I think that is koo if animals could talk, so that they can share and speak up what they want. It will make things go easier than just using gestures.
If they could talk, I would ask them how they feel of being an animal haha......hopefully they don't get mad when I ask so. Then I would ask about what are their favorite food and entertainment. 

Advice

What is the best advice you were ever given?  From my dad. Its proven so true.  “Even though life is not FAIR, u still have to live for the rest of ur life, once you accept that, it makes everything easier to deal with”

It’s so true. It’s never too late to realize that as I went through so many things in my life. Sometimes, I just wonder why life is so unfair. As time go by, things went wrong, ya suffering life, ya facing failures, things make ya unhappy, etc, ya will reveal what the definition of “Life” is. 

Sometimes people just keep wondering why their life is so different to the others, and why they have to suffer but others don’t. There is no answer for it! May be u can say because it’s LIFE!

I remember one time, I had a very depressing moment, and everything around me looked grey; always think of negative side. Dad is the person who came to my life and save me at that moment. He came to me, held me and gave me advises which completely alter my thought. I shouldn’t act like an innocent girl. It’s time to be mature. I took his advice, cooling down my emotion, try to find a resolution and be positive. His advice taught me a lot of things. Life is suffering. But not because of that ya always face with sorrow.  Accepted also is a good method to apply to life. Knowing how to accept is make thing go smoothly and easily. That’s what I’ve learnt from my dad. 

I hardly give out my advice to someone. I’m not saying am a good advisor, even though I know I can help people by giving out advices but I don’t really want to do that. Again, it’s just because LI FE IS JUST NOT FAIR.  I’ve learnt that whenever ya help people, if things does go in a right way, they are not going to blame on ya. But when they take your advises and they follow it, but unfortunately things go wrong, the first person they usually blame on is YOU!  So that’s y I don’t want to hear bad things behind me, you can say am selfish, not willing to share experiences or help people, It’s just fine, I prefer that more than people blame it on me when they are getting worse.

American food !!!!!!!

American!

Cheese burgers with curly fries rock Lolzzz

I don’t know what it will be other than burgers, steaks, cheese, seafood…….The definition of American food must be a lot but one thing will probably  come straight to people’s mind when they think of American food is “ fast food”.  It’s so weird that even most people realize that fast food is not good for health but they still eat it. WHY? All I can say is……’coz they r hella lazy to cook sometimes !

Me- I’d rather cook nice meal than eat anything from Jack in the box, or in McDonald’s.  I don't eat it at all; I try to stick to organic stuff. It’s cool if someone eats it every once in a while but everyday is too much lol

If one of my friends said “let’s go eat American” . It would mean well….save your time and enjoy the steaks. Steak is a common food in American daily life.

Hamburger is not the only traditional American food. Besides that, hotdog, potatoes, fries…..and coke also are traditional food.

To me, I eat a lot more vegetable in one meal. Its keep me healthy.  That’s the reason why I don’t eat much fast food. I pretty much enjoy my cooking. Since I know how to cook, my health is getting better than before Lolzzz

Watcha say? Asian food VS American food? Uh-oh……sounds like Asian food win all the time haha

Well, unlike American food, Asian food has more taste. To be honest, it’s tasty. Well…….yanoe, sometimes it’s not healthy but it’s delicious. That’s y people love it. Even though it’s much grease, it makes ya wana eat more. Remember one time I tried a piece of steak in an American restaurant…..my gosh! It was absolutely no taste inside the meat; all ya can taste is only…..the sauce !!! Here I wana say is that American food look good but not delicious whereas Asian food is much better. Actually, it depends on people perception. 

I love to eat in Thai restaurant. Near my house has Thai Brasil and I often go there everyweek. Pretty much enjoy their cuisine. Especially I love spicy food. Don’t you notice that when ya eat spicy food, ya wana eat more? Haha believe or not ya hv to try.
