30 Day Video Challenge: Day 6

My Mom

                 Moms are the greatest people in the world to some. They cook, they love, they nurture. My mom in particular, cooks the greatest meals. She has a tendency to add a little twist to a recipe to make it healthy and at the same time delectable. My mom loves my whole family a lot too. And lastly she loves children in general. Ever since my brother was born, my mom has loved our family endlessly. Sometimes I feel like I don't do as much things for her like she does for me.
                 If you lived in my house somethings you have to know about my mom is that she has some bad habits such as eating instant noodles and buying stuff. My family and I also call her "MA" (in a weird stuffed up voice) to annoy her. When she makes a mistake, does something embarrassing, or has a crazy idea we say "Ah Ma!" We call them Ma Moments. It is obviously not the same in words. 
                  The thing that I appreciate from my Ma the most would be how she supports me all the way. When I was around 10 years old, I loved the clothing store Justice. Now, I think it is a colorful mess of monkeys and fur. But even though my mom probably thought the same thing when I was 10, she would bring me there and would still buy me things from there even though it gave her a headache. Furthermore, she isn't bossy at all. It is sort of interesting that I found this article having to deal with really directive moms who don't let their children make their own decisions.

"Children flourish when they have opportunities to make choices about what they do, particularly in play situations," said Jean Ispa, lead author of the study and professor of human development and family studies at MU. "Mothers who are highly directive do not allow that kind of choice. In our study, the children were playing with some toys, and the very directive mothers were making the decisions about how to play, what to play and how quickly to play."

For example, during play with her child, a highly directive mother might make her toddler put the plastic cow in the toy barn through the barn's door instead of through its window. If a child is playing with a pretend kitchen set, the mom might not let the child touch the fake burners on the stove. Mothers often think they are helping their children by correcting them, but they are limiting the children's creativity and possibly making their children enjoy being with them less, Ispa said.

        Wasn't that cute?  I'm pretty sure I didn't play with toy cows but you get the point. Moms that are less directive seem to have more of a healthy relationship with their children. I realized recently that she let us become whatever person we wanted to be. Even though it took a lot of time for us to "mature" she was patient and always supporting us from stage one. If you are reading this Ma you are SPECTACULAR! I love youuuu!

The Chubster Post: 1D!!!!

Emergawsh!  So, you may have already heard of a totally awesome, cool, talented, boy band ONE DIRECTION. Well, if you haven't heard of them, where have you been! One direction is a international breakthrough :O

       This is the best member Liam Payne. He is the MOST talented and the coolest. Liam's birthday is August 29, 1993. And Crazy rabbit chose this photo. Its not recent. Now he has super short hair :( He first auditioned for X factor in 2008. Then he re-auditioned with the other members of one direction in 2010. Yeah... so what else am I suppose to write??? 
                  Liam: "I would hang out with some friends."
                                                                  Harry: "What kind of friends, Liam?"
                                                                  Liam: "I don't have any friends. Imaginary

                                                                  friends." (Tour Diary 4)


Now this is just Niall Horan. He's okay. He sings well but average. Like, Crazy rabbit sings better...jk...And again, crazy rabbit chose a very UN-recent photo. Now his hair is up. But Niall is special because he's the only one direction member from Ireland. (:D) Niall doesn't really sing much in the songs, but he's still a good singer. Niall's birthday is September 13, 1993.
 "I like anything that's edible..." (Favorite Things)

         This is Zayn Malik. He was born is January 12, 1993. He's a good singer (not as talented as Liam though) He has a lot of tattoos >:O That's a turnoff. His dad is half Pakistani. That's cool. And AGAIN Crazy Rabbit chose a very UN-recent photo. His hair is like a hobo-rat-racoon look now. I really dont know how that would be "cute" SORRY ZAYN MALIK LOVERS!
"Vas Happenin?" (Common Quote)

       That is Harry Styles. I think this is Crazy Rabbits favorite. She's kind off hinting that to me. He's an AMAZING singer. Not as good as Liam in my opinion. His birthday is February 1, 1994 making him the youngest One direction member at age 18.
" I dont think you can really define love"




          This is Louis Tomlinson. According to the poll, this was every bodies least favorite. His birthday is on December 24, 1991. Isn't it so cool how his birthday was on Christmas eve??? He's the oldest one direction member at age 21. (he's practically a adult) He has a really.. um..special...voice? It sounds like a little kid with a man voice. Yeah that's what it sounds like. 
"I like girls who...eat carrots!" (X Factor Video Diary 2) 
"Swag mastah from Doncastah!" (common quote)  
I had to post 2 quotes because they were kind of funny. :)



Until Next time,
CHUBSTER

PS. Whose your favorite One Direction member?
 Comment it!!!

Whoops!

                
                  This was at my winter ballet performance. I was so embarrassed D: Now I have a huge bruise on my knee :( And it didn't help how that disgusting little mouse was cracking up at me!! Deeply humiliated >:( This years performance was not so great in my opinion because we didn't use classical nutcracker music. Instead we used a jazz mix. I've got to say though, that this was the most enjoyable performance for me out of all the years I've been doing this.

Matted Ombre Nails


             
               Hey guys! Enjoy my latest video on ombre nails. This nail tutorial was pretty messy for me. Usually, people would paint on a base coat and sponge on a different color on the tip of the nail. honestly, that is a better alternative for beginners. I need to study some vocabulary so I'm going to pick a random card from my 500 SAT words and use it in a sentence. Randomly picking one... Crazy Rabbit issued a mandate that whoever wants more videos must join this site.
               Anyways, it seems like the right time to give you guys an update of what has been going on in my life. I got really sick for a day because I ate too much fetuccini alfredo for dinner (or it was bad sauce.) During that night I also ate a lot of desserts with egg whites in them. Can that even make your stomach flip?? Let's just say, my record of not throwing up in 8 years is now broken. Last Friday some of my youth group and I went to a gym and had a lot of fun. We played basketball, volleyball and things of that sort. It was a lot of fun to be with really nice people. When we came home I nailed my front walkover! Gymnastics isn't my thing anymore, but for dance purposes I must maintain the skills :).
               The past week I also took my finals which I didn't do so bad on. I have also been studying about the Holy Spirit which is a very interesting topic. Its's still a bit of a mystery to me on exactly what it is. Ever since Ant said it was a little flame on top of peoples heads it really confused me :-/
               I don't really stop and think about what an awesome brother I have. When I was sick, instead of going shopping with the rest of my family he stayed behind because he knows I don't like staying home alone. I can't imagine having a rotten older brother whos major priorities in life are music, girls, and zits. Shivers. And that was my update on the past week. I hope you enjoy the video!

China/ Taiwan/ Thailand/Cambodia Trip Pictures in Chronological Order

On the LONG plane ride trying desperately to kill time and enjoy things at the moment :( Chubster and I made a game where I drew a really ugly girl and she fixes her up. It's really fun. You should try it!

At Nanjing about to eat some of the best duck meat I have ever tasted in my life. Our bus is in the background along with some mountains. Do you see the visor of Chubster's head? We called it a "peckle". When we went to Taiwan it fell in a lake... too soon.... still... too soon D':
Almost in Cambodia. Stopping for some noodles which were tasty!

Lois the cutest baby in the whole entire world of the universe! She's really chubby and adorable. Look at her chubby knuckles! And she was teething at the time (awwww <3<3)
While we were stuck in Bangkok, our air plane service gave us an awesome hotel to stay in for a night. Awesome.

In a typical Cambodian market. Chubster was feeling claustrophobic :-/ Dang, we look out of place.

On the roof of Mom's uncle's apartment with his dog Pei Pei (naughty in English) doing laundry. Pei Pei was the first one in the elevator and the first one out (such manners!) So young but the laziest dog ever...

At a Taiwan museum about stuff I don't really remember now. Wait... what is that man doing to the left in our pic...?

The Chubster Post: Ballet in the Newspaper

  Hey earthlings! This is Chubster here writing my first post about Crazy rabbit and I in the local newspaper. No, we are not in the worldly news, but this is kind of cool. I had to blur out the location for safety reasons ^-^ I'm just so proud (not to sound conceited) that we are in newspaper. This may seem like nothing to you, but  BTW Crazy rabbit and I had been dancing for this company for 8+ years, and this is our first newspaper picture.. Even though the newspaper pic is grainy, Crazy rabbit and I in the back in the first picture. In the second picture we are on both sides :D

Okay. You see?  ummm i dont really know what else crazy rabbit usually talks about sooooo... BYE

Love, Chubster

Here is Your Person Weekly

             I love taking photos! Even if I don't have a "professional like" one (hint hint dad ;D... :( never happening) I also like photo editing. Ever since you had to pay $4 monthly for PicMonkey (favorite photo editing site) my life turned shades darker. Why?! Just WHY?! People are way to greedy these days. Sharing is caring... Anyways, this picture was photo edited a while back. Enjoy your Person magazine cover!

Happy BOA Day!

         In science research class, we've been building this truss with manilla folders and finally finished it! First, bridge in the class to be completed! Each "member"or parts of the bridge are a tube we had to measure, cut, and glue together. If you don't know, BOA stands for Bridge of Awesomeness (I just figured that out today!!) thanks to Melissa :D on the far right. Maria is in the middle. If you tilt your computer screen upwards or slouch a little in your seat you might be able to see her. She's really white. Melissa was our tester or support for the bridge. I was the refiner for messy parts. And Maria was the EVERYTHING ELSE. Still, together we made it happen and got a 9.5 (maybe 9.7 if the rest of the bridges in the class are terrible) as our build grade. Good work gals!

Traveling

           Over the summer a lot of you know that my family and I went to Asia. There, we stopped at China, Taiwan, Thailand, and Cambodia. I guess I would just like to share a bit more about my trip because it was a wild one! During my trip I learned that beyond America, there are people who live a completely different life than we do. It still amazes me how many people are on this earth and how similar we are in a lot of ways. So let's take a blast from the past (see what I just did ;) and allow me to take you through my twisted adventure.

             China was ... different and that is all I'm going to say. Just kidding. My parents signed up for one of China's many tourist walkthroughs where for one week, you spend each day visiting tourist attractions. It was really cheap plus they said that every night we would stay at five star hotels. Hmm... fishy. However, my family has never been to China, and we can't stay "Chinese people who have never been to China" all our lives! Our plane ride was China Eastern for around sixteen hours or so. The plane ride was same as the tourist experience... horrible yet affordable. The plane was packed with jumpy passengers and a lot of kids! At first it was okay but after a while it got really stuffy. Especially with our three hour delay in the plane. Shanghai was currently experiencing a storm so we flew down to a near by airport station. I was taking a nap and was so excited when I work up because I thought we landed in Shanghai. Big mistake. For three hours we were cooped up in the plane with "reduced" air conditioner (gas purposes I'm guessing??) Surrounding me were kids running up and down the aisles while smelly the heavy air of puke (my worst fear.) Since the plane was pretty much lawless, my dad, sister, and I went to the back of the plane where the flight attendants were chilling. Still, it was the space of a closet. Not to mention my mom was getting really sick and too up our whole row lying down. We tried our best to remain calm and know that God is with us. It was really bad so I took a nap and constantly woke up waiting for us to take off again.
              Eventually, we landed in Shanghai and ran straight out of the plane into a bus with several people standing in it. I was thinking "this is sooo ghetto." Finally we arrived at the air port station only to wait a couple more hours for our luggage. My family and I raced to find our tour guide at 1:00am in the morning. It turns out he was just about to leave to find no one else was coming. Thank God!! Another 45min. passed and we finally reached our hotel. It was very nice and the food was really good. But note that that was only the first night. Some nights we stayed in a cheesy hotel that smelled like smoke in the lobbies. Every night I remember constantly looking for wifi anywhere possible.
              Going to a foreign country especially like China takes a toll on your body. Every single day I felt nauseous and my stomach felt numb. I was breaking out into pimples all over my for head and only felt relaxed after a nice shower. Jet lag was not even the worst of our problems. We met some really nice people at the tour and brought some to our church after we came back. If I were to sum up that whole trip I would give it one word: wild.

             Taiwan was our breather. In the comfort of my mom's uncle and aunt's home we got to sleep all day and relax. Which is something we never did in what seems like to be forever. There we spent two weeks shopping our socks off and playing with my uncle's lazy dog. I love Taiwan and would never forget how clean their subways are. Or how nice the people act even though you are a stranger. Or the funny looks I got when I tried speaking Chinese or spoke regular English. Everything there was comforting and really cute. I want to go back someday and take it all in again without China draining my energy out before hand.
              To think of it now is different than actually being there. Now, I feel like Taiwan was perfect. Of course  would think that after my mom has been brain washing me about it almost all my life. But it really was heaven after China. Shortly after, it was time to head off to Thailand.

             Thailand has one of the most largest airport station ever. It had really cool escalators that ... wait for it... were flat and inclined. It's a lot cooler when you are actually on it. There we met the missionary and his son on a three hour car ride to Cambodia. Of course we had to stop at 7 eleven for some Thai ice tea which my brother later on barfed the whole way back to the airport. When we finally got to Cambodia we passed through the large buildings of casinos and then passed through the rest of the where the people lived. Imagine one long dirt road branching off to longer mud roads. That was basically it. The trip wasn't as strenuous as an actual missions trip. Like I said, we traveled before Cambodia.
               Meeting new people and seeing first hand on how they lived couldn't have been more of a reality check for me. These people actually live here every day working while I claim I am suffering from school. What? It really shocked me on how poorly our world's money is dispersed. Think about all the doggy day spa's and animal rescue sights there are when on the other side of the planet there are people living on dirt. It's just not right. Not to mention, these people can still manage to smile :) Although, ever day you don't feel clean at all its easy to let loose and get a little roughed up. They only time you are clean is when you are sleeping. By the end of the trip we were just about ready to go back to Taiwan but they were currently experiencing stormy weather. We had to stay one more day in Bangkok until we could spend two more days in Taiwan. We stopped by 7 eleven again and guess who decided to drink a huge cup of Thai iced tea?? On the drive back to the airport station Andrew threw up all the way. Chubster and I were like... eeeeeeeeew!

                So now you got an official taste of what our adventurous summer was. If you read to whole thing, good for you! If you tried reading the whole thing in one day and didn't, it's alright! I took several days just writing this thing. If you didn't read it at all, I have nothing to say to you because you aren't reading this. Have a nice week and become a member. Becoming a member just means you are a supporter. It's not going to send you spam mail or any kind of that junk :) basically it's harmless.

Christmas Review

P.s I don't know these people
                Many years after years I've noticed that Christmas has been getting less and less exciting. This my friends was one of the saddest things we just have to face. Do you know what I'm saying? For example, the smell of oak trees, the flurries of snow, and the pretty lights outside would just switch your mood into something cheerful. Almost as if Christmas was a fantasy. When you get my age you come to a realization that ... that... dare I say it it's NOT. On Dec. 31, 2012 we had some kids over as a little casual get together to eat japanese sushi (yum!). On Dec. 31 2005 we had some kids over waiting anxiously for 12:00am. struggling to keep our eyes open. See the difference? Casual versus fun, exciting, and history making! When someone (akhem) told me that presents get worse and worse every year my heart snapped like a ginger bread cookie. But face it, we all know it is true.
                  What if there was a purpose for this! As you get older Christmas gets duller because... we must know that true meaning of Christmas! Trust me we all heard of it before so I am not repeating it again. One thing I learned was the birth of Jesus was selfless in every way. Why should a king begin a life born in a stable with animals? My thoughts are as tangled as chlorine on thin long hair. Why am I using so many simile's? Anyways, I will leave my thoughts hanging like a unfinished song...

How to Curl Hair

                    Here is a helpful video for you girls (and some guys) out there. In this video you will learn how to curl your hair. There are a lot of different types of curls such as crimps, waves, and afros! Hopefully you can find out which one suits you the most and put it to action. Excuse Chubster's attempt to look sporty with her soccer jersey. Truth is, it was only $5 at Thailand and a really good knock off. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this long video (the longest video I ever published). Have a laugh, get some knowledge, and have a nice day!
