Fast Food

Today was interesting. I just came home from school when my dad suddenly showed me this bag that says Jack in the Box with some hamburgers and french fries in it. I just looked at it for a while, trying to get it through my mind that he actually bought that. It has been a long time since I have last seen him bring fast food into the house. Then, when I thought that was surprising, he comes home an hour later with some Chinese food from Tai Pan Chinese Restaurant which included chow mien, orange chicken, broccoli, and some chicken. This surprised me even more, especially when you are asked to eat dinner at 4:30 pm. I said it was too early, so we waited till 5 to eat (which is still really early but better than 4:30). The food was pretty tasty although I found some pieces of orange chicken I ate kind of gelatinous on the outside.

This is some of the food we ate. It was quite tasty.

Puzzle Complete

It's been a while since I have last blogged, but I'm still here. I have just been busy. Today, I finally completed a 1000-piece jellybean puzzle that my sister and I have been working for a few months to complete. :) I got this puzzle from a teacher that didn't really want it, so I took it off his hands. I thought it would be a fun project, so I started it, became frustrated with it, quit, and then came back to finish it. In the end, I feel I like a accomplished something and that I actually had lots of fun while putting this together. I am glad that I had some help putting this together, or else it would probably be in hundreds of pieces today.

We were so proud of ourselves for completing this corner...

..but there was still a lot of work to do.

After months of hard work, I can finally put in the last piece.

Ta-da! All 1000 pieces put together! :)

A few weeks ago...

A few weeks ago, I finally turned in my solar system project. I presented it to my science class and brought it home with an A. It turned out better than I expected it to. I have failed to continue stargazing, but I hope to return to it during winter break. Hopefully, the sky won't be murky. I was hoping to see the lunar eclipse that is supposed to occur during the beginning of December. However, even though I am not looking up at the sky during the night, doesn't mean that I am not looking at the sky during the day. I have also been going into the garden lately to see how my marigolds have been doing. They seem to be just fine. At first, I only had one sad lonely flower all by itself. After some time pasted, they all just started popping up one by one. Now, there are lots of flowers, but I can tell that they are going to die soon because of all the cold weather.

This is my completed solar system project that I made for science class.

I took a picture of the sky one morning after it looked like it was going to rain the night before.
After it rained almost all day, we were lucky enough to see this beautiful rainbow in the sky.But what's this? A double rainbow! I'm not sure if you can see that well in this photo, but it's there.
This is the first marigold that bloomed.
After a few days, a couple more flowers bloomed.Now, there are lots of flowers. They are very pretty but unfortunately, one of my plants died as you can see in this photo.
