hello, Do I have to submit daily writing journal on monday? I'm not sure about that, and I've no idea what tittle to write.

Daily Writing Journal 1/ 13/ 2011

I have to stat writing daily journal today, and it is about 10 minutes long writing. While I am writing this daily journal, I got a bad news which is about changing zodiac sign. I like being an Aquarius, and I don't want to be a Capricorn. I have read about Capricorn a little bit and it is not that bad thou. According to the Wikispaces, there is one more sign is appeared in zodiac sign, in which Ophiuchus is occurred. They said "people who think they're Virgos are actually Leos", but in my opinion, we weren't born after 2009, so we don't have to care of this sign change. We were born under condition of our zodiac sign, so that I am still in Aquarius, and I love Aquarius, and also I think only people who were born after 2009 can be affected to this sigh change. I like reading the characteristic of these sign, and I think it can be closed to imagine to other people. I am not saying that they are truth, but it is closed. I think I have to learn more about zodiac sign change and have to read their new character.

Now I'm having lunch with white noodle salad with crunchy bean which is Asian style. In my country, we eat this salad as a breakfast, but since I am in U.S., Coffee and Donuts are easier to have as a breakfast. I love food more than everyone thinks which means I love to try every kind of food even I don't like ingredients or their stuffing, I want to taste how it looks like. One of my habit about food is I don't want to eat lunch with only one entree. Honestly, I don't know what is entree, but I know this word comes from French, and still confused what it looks alike. In my country, we call main dish, side dish, soup, dessert, but we don't have entree. So anyway, what I was trying to say is I would like to put small amount of two or three different kinds in my meals, but most of the time I don't have time to make two or three dishes at a time. So if I want to eat with my style, I go to the restaurant or have a buffet.

This time, I would like to write about eastern culture marriage. In eastern culture, Asia, they have three different ways to get married such as love marriage, blind date marriage, and parents arrangement marriage. Love marriage is very simple as its meaning that they love each other and then they got married. Blind date marriage is most popular among Chinese and Korean; they have some agent which introduce the men and the women who want to marry. Then the agents make appointment for them, and if they are interested each other, they can be continued to get married. The last one, parents arrangement marriage is according to their parents. The both sides of parents know each other, and they talk about their child, and arrange for their future. Most of Asian do that kind of marriage even in the 21st century. In my opinion, I don’t like either blind date marriage or parents arrangement marriage because marriage depends on the people who are getting married. If they don’t love each another, this marriage can’t be last forever. So I prefer that everyone to be based on the love marriage.

How long can you guys live without Internet? Using Internet is the most popular thing among the people. If you are on vacation, and you are visiting to somewhere, would you bring your laptop with you? This is the interesting question, but most of everyone can’t be answer exactly, especially for the business man and the students. I think they have to use Internet for their job and assignments for sure. So that they are keep using Internet day by day, and they are addicted to Internet as they can’t live without the Internet. As for me, I am pretty sure that I can’t live without Internet more than one day because I got benefit and knowledge from using the Internet which means I am one of the Internet addicts.

On 20th January, I went to the ice skating park for my very first time skating experience. I have never been to ice skating park before because my country doesn't have ice skating park. We have regular skate part but I never skate because all most all skater are boys. So I wasn't interested in skating, but I like the ice skating dance, and I always such competitions or events, so I was bothered to go there and my friends also with me. That day was terrible snowing since the afternoon until midnight. I got a free skating since I brought my student ID card, and then I put on the skate shoes like I was so exited. Then I walked through the skate part from entrance hardly because that was my first time to walk with skate shoes, and it looks funny thou. I took long time to get on the ice ground, and I stood on the ice ground for a while. When I was trying to walk around on the ice which so slippery, I fell down. I was so scary then I left the skate park, and I just watched my friends' skating.

Jan 21st is my birthday, but I didn't make a birthday party. I just went out to the restaurant with my mom and my sis and had a dinner together. That day was a little bit funny because I went skating before my birthday which is I wrote on above, my legs and the body were so hurt on my birthday. So I felt not very fresh, and I had to cancel the class. In the evening, we went to Ruby Tuesday restaurant since they don't use frozen stuff on their food, according to advertisement flyer. There was crowded with loads of people,and unfortunately, we didn't have a chance to register. Then we left Ruby Tuesday, and we were heading to Applebee's. There was also crowded but not very much as Ruby Tuesday, and we had to wait about 35 minutes at there. After waiting for 35 minutes, we got a table, and luckily the foods that we ordered were so tasty and delicious, and we did enjoy them very much.

This time I would like to write about tropical fruit which is I love most. As I was born and lived in tropical zone, I love all tropical stuffs such as tropical beach, tropical fruit, etc,. I love fruits because they are very good for health and even for the skin. I was trying to Google for the name of some tropical fruits which translated in English, but I couldn't find the exact name. So I want to write a little bit about coconut. Everybody knows coconut which is very popular in beaches. In my country, we have a lot of tropical beaches, and we drink fresh coconut juice everyday when we go to the beach. Have you ever drink fresh coconut juice? It makes you to refresh and release from all stress. As traditionally, the pregnancy women drink coconuts juice everyday for their baby to be strong when they give a birth, and also we eat the skin. They are so smooth and delicious, and we can make coconut milk. I know how to make fresh coconut milk which is very easy. First you have to shred the white skin, and put small amount of water, and squeeze, so they will turn out to milk. When you are done to squeeze all shredded, you have to put a little bit of salt to tasty. If you like sweeten, just add sugar. But I don't bother to add sugar because coconut already has natural sweet taste.

Today is unlucky day for me because my glasses were broken, and I can't find even screw. I am so blind if I'm not wearing the glasses. I have contact lens, but sometimes it does hurt my eyes. I have some extra glasses, but I didn't upgrade for long time. But today I had to wear this unupgraded glasses anyway. For the result of wearing that glasses, I have terrible headache all day long, and I can't see clearly to distance. I went to walmart this evening to fix my glasses, but it didn't help it because the stuff, who works in walmart vision center, said she is not a technician, and she doesn't have the certificate for that, so I have to come back next morning to fix it. So that I am about to upset but I have to go tomorrow as soon as possible.

Thingyan, Water Festival, known as traditional Burmese New Year Festival celebrated on April 12 to April 16 in around the country. There is a meaning why they celebrate with water during the new year season. Burmese people believe that they have done bad things or good things during this year, so that they clean the bad things by water and do not want to carry those bad things to new year. For the young people, that is the most excited festival of the year because it is the non stop party for 4 or 5 days in which the music, the dancing, the alcohol, the fashion and the water. They build the temporary wooden building to play water and to dance. For playing water, some people use pipe and some use all sizes of cup. In addition, that is the biggest fun festival and everyone can join for free.The senior citizen and some people do not play water since they go to the pagoda or temple and do meditation. I put some picture to show how they play water from one of my friend's blog.

I used to think what major should I choose for my carrier. I was majoring in accounting, but now I am not sure that I really want to pass my life as an accountant. Couple years ago, I want to be an accountant ; I want to work in a office, want to play with a lot of numbers, and make a challenge with accounting logic. But now what I am thinking about is do I really want to work at the business companies or at some enterprise as an accountant. I prefer to work at non profit organizations and help for increase human resources and world peace, for example, government work, united nations, or even non government organizations. I don't want to hang my life as an unemployment after the graduation due to the fact that I want to work at non profit organizations. That's why I am thinking about what major is useful for those places, and I am confused more and more to choose the accurate major in which I am interested.

When I looked up the prompt for writing daily journal, I found out one interesting thing in it which is list 20 rules you have broken. Actually, it sounded funny.

Whatever I broke the rules when I was in high school student, I love my student life and I love my high school very much.

I want to write about my vacation where I visited to New York, last summer. New York City is very popular city in the world, and I like it very much; as a lyrics for empire state of mind, there is nothing I can't do. I stayed at the hotel somewhere around the china town and went around to New York City. I spent 2 weeks in New York, and I had a lot of fun. My favorite place in New York is Time Square. There were crowded with visitors, shops, many advertising billboard, and million of lights. I found the crystal ball at the very top of the high building which celebrate for the new year ball drop on the new year eve and is attracting to tourists. I walked all the way down and looked up the sky building. I really enjoyed the day what I spent around at the Time Square. I want to go there again, and I really miss that place especially on new year eve.

Today, Feb 2 is a Groundhog day. Groundhog is kind of is kind of small wild animal and it has long brown furry tail. Usually, we can see groundhog near the Walmart during the summer, and they look really wild. Groundhog day celebrated in some places of United States,and people believe that ground can focus the weather. According to tradition, on Feb 2, groundhog comes out from their hibernation and find out he may see his shadow. If Feb 2 is a sunny day, groundhog can see his shadow then go back to his hibernation, there will be 6 more weeks of winter. If Feb 2 is a cloudy day, groundhog doesn't see his shadow, then he will not return to his home, it means winter is almost over, and spring is coming soon. So that according to their tradition, spring is coming soon as today is cloudy day, and I am ready for spring.

I am kind of good listener, but I don't want to listen nonsense topic. I hate people who talk about other business in pessimistic vision. I've seen a lot of people who care other people daily routine, and I am so sick of getting along with such people. Do people need to care about others business? I don't mean you don't have to care others, but you don't have to judge on other person. In this recession era, some people are hard to survive for their lives. Thus, people might be entertained to get away from stress. If they are being enjoy in their short live as long as they don't insult to anybody, why don't you let them be for their freedom.

My country has different climate with United States. We have 3 seasons which are summer season, rainy season, and winter season. Generally, it divided as 4 month for each season. We got in the hot climate, and it is getting hotter and hotter according to the global warming. In summer time, we have over 100 degrees Fahrenheit in some states. In raining season, the temperature goes down, then raining like every day, and sometimes it carries the strong hurricanes. In winter season, well, they divide November, December, January, February is the winter season, but it is looked like summer in America as around 70 or 80 degrees. Burma has high humidity which is the reason why I like my country. Not only has Burma high humid, but also South East Asia countries. In these three seasons, my favorite season is raining season because I can feel the smell which come from the soil when it is raining. It makes me really fresh, and I like the trees which are touched by rain drops. So that I am happy when it is raining and even the thunderstorms give me excitement.

I would like to list about 5 things which is annoying me so much. I'm not a silly person and also I don't have a pessimistic attitude most of the time. But following things make me annoyed so much. 1. people who got drunk, and doing inappropriate in public place. 2. people who are talking about other business and denounce to others. 3. people who speak out loud about nonsense things when I am sleeping. 4. people who change their face direction from me when I am smiling at them for greeting. 5. the person who works at the restaurant wants me to pay bill and move from the table when I am in the middle of my meal. These preceding 5 things are the most annoying things and some of these are happening in my daily life.

Today, I am not really happy, because of my phone bill. I have to pay 480 dollars for this month. I'd been talking too much with my friends. So I decided to went to the sprint shop which I am using and ask for the way which can reduce my phone bill. I asked them about the free call hours and texting time and about using Internet from my phone. I heard some of networks have to pay for incoming call. That's amazed me so much because in my country we do not have to pay for incoming call. And they also have so many ways which are easy to charge less money or charge more money. So finally I decided less talk, less texting and wait for the free call hours for paying less amount of my phone bill.

Do you like watching movie at the theater? What kind of movie do you prefer? I like romance movie and comedy movie,and I prefer watching movie at home. But I watched Avatar 3D movie at the theater, and I didn't like it. It made me dizzy and sleepy and even hate it. I like their acting and their creative design, but I didn't enjoy it. My favorite movie is Titanic which is very well know movie and won many academy awards. Coincidently, those movie are directed by same person, James Cameron. Isn't it interesting my most favorite movie and my most hated movie are directed by James Cameron. May be I am not a fan of fiction. Yes, I hate fiction.

I feel sick today. I got coughing, sneezing, and sore throat. Usually, I always have that problem during early spring, which might be spring allergy. This year is too early to me for getting sick. I feel like the whole body is going to be pieces. About the spring allergy, some people got coughing or sneezing since the blooming flowers. Actually, I am very fine with whatever kind of flowers are blooming, but I can't stand when weather is changing vary. Sometimes the temperature feed really bad to me such as very cold in a sun shine day. I feel really sick if those days happen in a year. Anyhow I can't avoid this because I am living in Ohio. As you know Ohio can be 4 different weather in one day, especially during the winter quarter. So that I don't like winter at all, and I don't like cold weather either. Anyway, I got to take a medicine now.

Yesterday I got mid term report for OPIE composition class which can say good result because of 90 percent and above. But I have to be careful to come in the class on right time and doing my vocabulary journal every week. Firstly, I have to wake up early than before, and leave early from home to be arrived the class on time. Wake up in the early morning is my big problem since I was young. But I got to change my bad habit in this age. So I'll try to go to the bed early and wake up early in the morning without hesitation. Secondly, I have to read more news and books for my vocabulary journal and have to look up the dictionary. I am pretty lazy to look up the dictionary. But I have to do this from now on. I must change these two bad habits to get a high grade in my academic learning.

Last day, I went to the pet land and look around the pets. I found a lot of puppies, bunnies,and birds. And I also saw the wild animal like snakes and other kind of kinds. I don't understand why do people adopt them like a pet because they look scary and even ugly. And I found a lot of fish but they are not very pretty. I expected to see beautiful big golden fish, but I didn't see it. I saw the fighter which doesn't have pretty color, but they do have pretty small aquariums. I feel so bad for the dogs, because they want to come out from the cage, and they are so pathetic. They look at the people and want people to help them out. I feel so sorry for them, and if I have enough money, I would buy them and adopt them as my pet.

2/ 16/ 2011

Last month, I read the book, called " Midnighters, The Secret Hour" which is fiction novel. That novel is interesting, and it is about the people who were born exact at 12:00 am will have 25 hours a day. And also they are psychic, and they have different power. The novel has very interesting outline, and it can catch to the reader. There has many mathematic facts and some are really good presentation. In the middle of the novel, it attracts very highly to the reader and included many mysterious things which is like a witch. But at the end of the part, these mystery things were disappear, and they didn't mention to any character. The ending is about very normal like the girl and the boy are falling in love finally. So the novel is not very good at the end as I expected. Now, I am trying to look up for the novel which has good presentation and will contain a lot of vocabulary as they help me learn very well.

This morning, the class had cancelled, so I was heading to baker center and bought a coffee, looking for the seat which in the quite place. When I got the seat, I read the essay, weasel words, that was homework for Wednesday and review the exercise. The essay is pretty good and a little bit long, but there are many useful words and good lesson for the customer. I like that essay very much I am interesting in Business. So I read along the essay and thinking about what is gonna be the exact meaning of weasel, and is it good usage for the customer if the product is not very much affect for the customer because I don't like cheating on other. In my opinion, many company and advertisers use a lot of weasel words and try to manipulate to their customer. Thus, one rule is appear, Customer Right.

If the God gave me a chance to wish one thing what I desire most, I would wish to wake up at 6 o' clock in the morning automatically and never going to be sleepy again during the whole day. Now I am having a problem with sleeping. I can not wake up early morning even I try my best. I get up at 7o' clock and go to school and then I am yawning all day long like a million times. I feel embarrassed to yawn in front of other people, and it is very uncomfortable. Sometimes I drink energy drink to avoid yawning, but i don't want to drink every day; it makes me fresh for a while thou. So I pray to the God to make me fresh and active every day.

2/ 21/ 2011

As I wrote above the paragraph, I am very sensitive with changing weather. This week weather is fooling me around because it can be 4 different seasons in one day. I am getting headache and couldn't stop my bad headache. I skipped the class for 2 days because of sick. I like spring if it has warm weather, and I am sure flowers and trees love spring. Because they can reborn new leaves and flowers can blossom. I saw a lot of spring season flowers at Kroger last day. When I passed the floral shop, I got the very cherish smell around floral area. They are not very expensive as I expected, and it is round about 5 or 6 dollars. I want to buy those small little things, but I am afraid they are going to die if I have done something wrong. I bought 3 rose pots last year and then after 2 or 3 weeks they went wither. I have no idea what I had done on them. I do love flowers so much, and I want small garden with various colors of flowers at my house which is my dream ever.

I went to the Lancaster yesterday evening, and ate some food and went shopping with my friends and family. I have never been to there before, so that was my first time to there. We have to drive about 45 mins to get there, and we were heading to Red Lobster Restaurant. First of all, that restaurant has very nice atmosphere which is I don't see at the Athens. And we didn't have to line up for the table luckily. Then we ordered the food, and we talked about class, technology, and we sheared other interesting things. They have a lot of sea food items in the menu, so all of us ordered for fish or lobster. I chose lobster, grilled shrimp, and rice form their menu because I am not a big fan of fish. They treat garlic biscuit as a appetizer. Then about 10 mins later, we got out plate with full of food, and we had a good meal. Then we were heading to some shopping mall and looked some stuffs and buy some clothes. I noticed that they are a lot cheaper than Athens. I was surprised for the price, and some accessories are a lot cheaper than Walmart. Actually I really hate to do shopping at Athens because there is not a lot of stuffs for customers and the price are higher than others especially in women clothing. So that we enjoyed shopping at Lancaster then we got back to Athens. When we got home, we were so tired and fell in sleep.

2/ 25/ 2011

Today, I have some problem in class which is to make a list for television program. There are a lot of list to do for the program, but I couldn't recall the name which I watched. Usually I don't watch TV frequently. So that I am not familiar with those program. I am disconnect for long time with that. I watch CNN news in the morning if there is some interesting for me, and sometimes I do Larry King and talk Asia. Sometime I watch red carpet events. I am more familiar with Internet than television. So, finally, I chose to make a list of romance movie because I watch Hollywood movies. So I am making a list and categorize the differences, and I assumed that I need more entertainment for my daily life.

Life has full of challenge and funny things that you will see everyday. I have to write about something that is happening everyday to me. I don't know that is funny or disappointing. I set an alarm to wake me up at 7 o' clock, but it wakes me up at 5 o' clock in the morning. I am middle of sleeping when it makes an extra loud sounds. I was so mad this morning because it's very dark outside when the alarm clock makes a sound. And I put the clock very far away form my bed where near the entrance door because I make sure to get out of my room after I close the alarm. But now, I have to wake up at 5 o' clock and close the alarm then back to sleep. I was so sick of putting this thing to my daily routine. So I decided tonight to set up the clock at 9'o clock, so that it wakes me up at 7 o' clock. So I wait and see how the clock makes me fool again.

Everybody uses cell phone like everyday. We talk everyday, we text everyday. Buying cell phones is very easy in America, and there are so many networks and so many choices for using cell phones such as various kind of family plans. Most of every networks have 2 years contract, and they have different policies. But I was surprised that we can only use same mobile phone model during this two years contract even in same brand or even we can pay for it. This is unfair because people, especially in youth, want to use latest model or want to change popular brand. Especially in digital accessories, they always come out new generation day by day. Isn't if so bored to use same cell phone hand set for 2 years? In my country we can change whatever cell phone brand in whenever we want, and we can easily buy cell phone fancy stuff. I think that is different between U.S. and Asia because Asian set a lot of fancy stuff in their phones, particularly in Japan. So anyway, I just knew this weird networks policy yesterday, and it amazed me. I have to wait for this contract ends because I don't want to pay extra money which has no benefits.

Once upon a time, there was a king who has temper and straight order to the country, and the people were afraid of his temper. Unfortunately, he had a big bruise looked so awful at his back, and he shamed of knowing other people. He had been taking medical care by doctor secretly, but he warned his medical doctor not to tell anybody about his bruise. I warned his doctor that if he told someone about his bruise, he would give the order to kill the doctor. The doctor really afraid to kill him so that he kept his promise to the king. But day by day, he couldn't keep this secret, and he wanted to tell somebody. Thus, he decided to do something that he dig to the ground where deep forest, and he yelled out that the king has a big bruise and then he covered by soil. He did everyday like that to heal his feeling. Two or three years later, there was a strange thing happen in the country. All the birds from that forest sounded like the king as a big bruise, so that all the people know the king's secret. Surprisingly, the king didn't kill the doctor because he realized there was no secret in the world, and no one can keep other's secret forever. This is one of the popular story in my country. Even though it doesn't make sense, the general idea is true in recent time. Because people always find out other's secret like Wikileaks did lately.

Today, I totally stressed out for my next quarter because I haven't register for any academic classes for the business classes. I have to hand in my class schedule to OPIE tomorrow. So that after this morning class, I went to the Chubb Hall to pay TOEFL exam fees, then I made a call to Michael Bila for attending business class in next quarter. He suggested to take the Math text at the Chubb Hall and request for the registration form at the Coppland Hall. Although I haven't ready for the Math text, I decided to take a Math text next week because I don't have very much time left. So I have to prepare for Math test this weekend. I look totally stressed out during these day. Actually, I don't have exam phobia, but I am really scared to not meet the score. So that I don't have any second for doing fun or nothing. I think this is actual student life, especially for international student because we have to try more than native language speaker. I hope I can pass the text, and I will try my best.

This journal is going to be the last journal, and I've been writing this journal for 8 weeks and getting enjoy at writing. At first, I didn't like writing and very lazy to write, and finally I broke my lazy writing mind by writing daily journal. Today, I wrote the essay in the class about to choose working high rate with long hours or working low rate with short hours. I chose working high rate with long hour. I don't want to discuss about this essay over here since I am working part time in Athens. But after graduation, I am pretty sure that I will prefer high salary, but as I said above paragraphs, I don't want to work for other's business. I strongly want to work at United Nations to contribute what people need.
