I learned from the Disney Channel that Garrett Augustus Morgan, an African American, invented the traffic light. What we use today is his original design. It cut down the amount of labor needed (they were controlled by people before) and the number of traffic accidents.
there was something else...that Formaldehyde (spelt right!) from the cats in Bio must be killing my brain cells, not good.
I cooked dinner today! notice 'cook', cuz i didn't heat up some leftovers from the previous night, i actually used my hands and created a meal..even though it's pizza with a premade crust, tomato soup from a can and pop-in-the-oven chicken nuggets...it's a first in a long while. :D It was pizza with ham and onions, green peppers and carrots (vege on on half). I know..carrots?! what was i thinking? I dunno...my mom used carrots for lunch, so i just thought i would do the same. But it wasn't that bad, nice and crunchy...
Pizza Yes:
- New York pizza is sensational! Thin crust and mega crispy, that's what i love. I wish i took down the name of the place i ate at...:(
- Best (and only) homemade pizza that is sooo good is by Mrs Boyd. She makes the crust and everything from scratch!
- My favorite toppings are mushrooms, onions, chicken..separate or together.
Pizza No:
- Pizza so full of grease that the nasty orange-colored oil runs down your arm! (captain pizza)
- I personally don't like it when pple fold their pizza or put two pizzas on top of one another and eat it..seems greedyish..
Happy Valentine's Day!
My dad brought my mom out to lunch at this fabulous Malaysian Restaurant in New Haven named Gunung Tahan (i highly recommend it!)..just the 2 of them. Isn't that lovely? We were at walmart, and they had a bunch of beautiful single roses, which i convinced my dad to buy for my mom, but she walked up that moment and being fussy and all said it was unnecessary. She later told me that having my dad said he loved her was enough. ahh...true love!
This day of expressed passion for our loves takes root from the patron saint of lovers: St. Valentine.
It is said that St. Valentine died on this day, february 14th, about 18 centuries ago for his faith in Christianity. Another legend said St. Valentine was a priest who was jailed and killed for defiance. From the sad abyss of St. Valentine came this day of the fluttering in our chest and the warm blush on our cheeks - for girls, that is -.
I read in this website that the pioneer of sending valentine cards was a Miss Esther Howland (ooo..). The valentine gifts now include plushtoys and heart shaped helium balloons, chocolate and roses, which are deliriously priced. And soon my heart-shaped bracelets will dominate the valentine gifts for years to come!!! (keep dreaming ET) ((email me for info!))
I was recently voted to the next round of the Barnum Festival King and Queen competition at school out of the 3 girls chosen. Very honored and grateful! So I'm gonna walk in the delicious weather outside to the library to make copies of certain criteria they want (eg. awards :). I was rather iffy at first about this whole competition because it required you to give up the first 2 weeks of your summer to appear at public/social events all dressed up in ball gowns and stuff. But it seems fun, and they teach you how to present yourself and talk to pple...which I have room for improvement. So off I go..
oh yeah, Jonathan, congrats on going on to the next round from KC too!! :D hope we make it together man.
argh...on a lighter note....the grammy's was last night. I had no idea until 9:30pm..and i couldn't watch much even then...all i watched was black eyed peas' performance of 'where is the love'..and as i expressed in an earlier post (long time ago)..that song is OFF THE HOOK. I was singing and rapping to it the whole time (ok, attempting to rap, i noe all the lyrics tho) at the top of my voice..and my sister was being such a brat...screaming at me to shut up, omg..and she started crying, wanting to me to go upstairs so she could sleep...my gosh..the grammies is once a year.. but later, i realize that she was watching sister sister right before i flipped the channel...guess she was mad about that...and i should have actually asked b4 switching. bleahz...
oh, the academy awards is feb 29th!! LOTR better win all the awards man..shoot.
also...this movie called YOU GOT SERVED is out. Movie with tons of dance moves..mostly breakdancing. omg..i just LURVE breakdancing..not that i can breakdance..just love to watch it..especially if it's japanese or korean guys doin it..whoo. there's this group in UB called soulbeat..made up of several asian guys and girls..they so rock. wouldn't mind learning how to breakdance. well..hopefully i can go watch you got served at the theatres...cuz i doubt i will ever get to see it with my family..heh.
for valentines day..Mr Sohn (church uncle) is gonna hire me to sell roses with his team..WHOO! we're gonna wrap the roses....and the next day just spend the whole day out at some place surrounded with home depot buckets of rose bouquets. and we'll have a great supply of snacks...lunch is usually superb cuz they're japanese, and his wife makes such good food. :P. well..really looking forward to it and the money..$100+!!!!!!!!!
