Snow, Snow, Snow...

Hiya everyone!

How is everybody? Sorry that I have not updated in a while, my life has been crazy with college, work, and other responsibilities. I am sure that many of you are going through the same…

So a little bit about my life- School has basically dominated my life recently, leaving me no time for some fun. I have two exams next week: Managerial Accounting and Applied- Calculus 2! Help!? I am most worried about my Calculus 2 exam because I still cannot understand my professor’s lectures due to his thick accent and I forgot everything I learned from Cal. 1. Ahhhhh!!!! (I need to review!) Have you experienced this scenario before as a college student? If so, please leave me comments and suggestions on your situation and how you overcame it! I think this is funny because it is like we cram things in our brain to remember for exams and then afterwards, we forget what we learned. :/ By the way, one of my classmates recommended to the class a website that will help us with problems in our textbook. I checked it out and found that it has at least 100 or more textbook titles listed. After briefly browsing through it, I realized that this site provides you with exercises to work on from the book trying to help you understand the materials. I have not done any of them yet, but I plan to start this weekend… so here is the site: www.interactmath.com . I hope this site help those of you who struggle with math as much as I do.

Now getting on to the main point- OMG!!! It is actually snowing inches in the city I am living in! To some of you, that is not a big deal because you are either used to snow or have been somewhere that has slopes of snow. However for me, this happens once in a blue moon… The last time I remember having this much snow, was when I was in 8th or 9th grade. (can’t remember that far back) All I remember is that I had loads of fun with my sisters and dad making snow angels and a snowman. (Good Times) Aside from my memory, I asked my mama when was the last time she remembers us having this much snow before the time I mentioned and she replied that it was the year she had me! See, this shows that we hardly get any snow here… :/ (Oh well, we have snow now) I got so excited about this snow day that I took pictures of the scenery and even recorded myself outside in the snow. :D It is sad that most of us cannot go outside to witness nature’s work because we are too busy with things indoors or think it is too cold. I had my share of fun recording myself outside in the snow, but I did not make anything in the snow. I did not want to ruin the blankets of snow, so I left it alone. I know, like the saying goes… “Take a picture, it will last longer”, right? Well, I did, but I still felt that the snow was too beautiful for me to ruin it. :P Lastly, I want to say: Take some time off from what you are doing to stop and go outside, absorb your surroundings… Trust me this is refreshing! Sometimes, this little break is just what you need to bring a smile to your face and help you appreciate life.

Youtube Video I recommend: Yellow Fever- 2006- Official by Wong Fu Productions.
I saw this video a few years ago, but the producers recently added commentary to it. The video is about how it seems like many Asian girls are attracted to men from other races rather than their own race. This video is filmed from an Asian guy’s perspective that views this stereotypical behavior is unfair to Asian guys. LOL! In reality, I have noticed some of the scenarios described in the video, but I do not think that this video is completely accurate. Take me for example, I am an Asian girl that loves Asian guys! I like guys from other ethnicities too, but I just feel more of a connection with Asian guys. I am not racist, I promise! Anyways, check out this hilarious video and leave me comments on what you think about it. Especially guys: how do you feel about this topic? If you are an Asian guy, do you feel the same way Phil feels in the video? As for girls: what do you think about the topic? What attracts you to a guy? If you are an Asian girl: do you really like guys from other races more than Asian guys? Do you think this video is accurate?

Listening to: Only You by Fahrenheit (Taiwanese boyband) I think that Arron Yan is so cute! What do you girls think?

Leave me comments and feedback on what you think of the topics I mentioned! Thank you!

Pictures from today: Mother Nature's Winter Fashion
Look at my rooftop, that is at least 2 inches of snow! It has been 3 hours since I took that picture and it is still snowing now! :D

This is my neighbor's trees. I think that it is so pretty with the snow blanketing each little branch.
