It’s getting cold out here!

Wow, the weather is really crazy now. Yesterday it was 50 degrees and today it’s like 25 degrees (F). Also, it snowed and it’s super windy now. I had to borrow my dad’s coat when we went to Flushing today. Anyhow, I’m supposed to be participating in this five weird facts about myself. Here it is:

The first player of this game starts with the topic “five weird habits of yourself,” and people who get tagged need to write an entry about their five weird habits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next five people to be tagged and link to their web journals. Don’t forget to leave a comment in their blog or journal that says “You have been tagged” (assuming they take comments) and tell them to read yours.

  1. I wash dishes right after I finish a meal. I hate leaving dirty dishes in our tiny sink.
  2. I like to keep my things protected. For my iPod I leave it in its iSkin and then in an iSkin bag. Nothing wrong with a little extra protection!
  3. I discovered my favorite fruit in Taiwan. It’s called “lian wu” in Mandarin. Delicious!
  4. I live in a mini apartment.
  5. I stalk John Mayer. D

I tag: Cici, Sally, Liz, Cousin Jane and Miss Techie. Have fun!
In other news, the Steelers won today! 21-18. Yay Pittsburgh! They’ll be in the AFC Championships. Amazing. I love how everyone predicted that the Colts would spank the Steelers. Anyway, I better go check out what’s for dinner. D

Type 2 Diabetes

I just finished reading this article on NYTimes.com. It’s a bit disturbing. (

One scary fact is that 14% of Asian children in New York are obese. Isn’t that crazy. Later in the article, they mentioned this Chinese baby who’s first word was “Mother”, then “Father” and then “McDonald’s”. I also found out that more and more Asian children are dining at the fast food joints in Flushing (McDonald’s, Burger King, KFC, Joe’s Best Burger) rather than the conventional Asian restaurants. I find that surprising because whenever I’m in Flushing, I don’t even consider the “American” restaurants. I can get that anywhere! Plus, I’m not a huge fan of fast food.

I really hope I don’t develop diabetes. My grandpa has it due to old age, so I guess I may have a chance of getting when I’m older. I’m going to keep on going to the gym so I can be as healthy as I can.

Lastly, I’m officially addicted to Project Runway. Everyone should watch it. It’s on at 10pm (EST) on Bravo. Heidi Klum looks so cute pregnant too.

Okay, well it’s Thursday, which means it’s almost FRIDAY! Yay! I better get to bed. :tired:

Happy Friday at last!

Well I’m glad this week is over. Even though I only had three days at work, I am pretty tired. I’m going to go make something tasty for dinner and watch some quality TV.

The highlights of my day? Well, we now have heat. Hallelujah.

Oh I installed this Gallery plugin where you can see a random image on the right sidebar. How cute is that? ) I guess I’ll be motivated to take more pictures with my new love.

Have a great weekend!
