One weekend I wanted to do something interesting with my husband, something that we have never done before. So, I found this place where you can paint different kind of ceramics and potteries in different colors. So, basically you make your own cup, plate or vase unique from others by applying different textures, colors or even some words or little creatures lol:)

I really liked the variety of colors and types of paints that I could use for my masterpiece. The staff has always changed the water, so it would be clean, and I would not mix the colors together. However, and it were the only cons, the ceramics there were all quite the same, so the variety was weak. Well, I chose the cup that appear to be a fat guy with a big beer belly, whom I paint a pink bra and a nice pink thong to :))))

After painting, we put it inside the stove for several hours to make paint attached and glaze to the surface of the cup, and it looked amazing. The colors were so bright that the pink underwear was almost shining in the glance of the sun. We really enjoyed the experience of painting and the cup that forever would stay in our memory and on a kitchen shelve.

Genre: Amazon Reviews – Anxiety and Self Doubt

Anxiety and self doubt are like two of your former best friends who you’ve tried to leave behind. The problem is, they never got the memo. They’re kind of like a dynamic duo, except without Batman and Robin’s tights. Instead, they take “tight” to the next level. Sometimes, they play little pranks like constricting your breath or working you up from the smallest kindling of thought into a wildfire of rage. They’d be great if you like that extra edge in life. However, if you want to live happily, then it’s best not to let these two slide into your DMs.

Overall, 2/10. Would not recommend.

The Sounds of my Commute

I got on the R train on the way home at 8:36 pm. There were too many people on the train. When I sat down, I heard the lady sitting behind me chatting with her friend. She said,  “ I will fly to Florida next Tuesday for a vacation.” Her friends replied, “Sounds good! Wow, I’m so jealous! ” This is actually my response. I’m tired, mostly because I got home late at night. Where is my vacation? I needed to plan it in advance. The train stopped at the Atlantic Ave-Barclay Center station. With the door opening, I was surprised to hear someone was singing a classic Chinese song “The Moon Represents My Heart”. This is the first time I heard a Chinese song in the subway station, not only music. However the pronunciation is a little weird, but still recalled my memory in China. I figured out the singer is a black man from a video that my friend shared on Wechat the next day. I had to give him thumbs up. Before the train door closed, a beggar got on the train. He started his speech by: “Ladies and Gentlemen, sorry about bothering you……” We often meet beggar or homeless people on the subway, and they all have their stories. Some of them look very pitiful and helpless. I may give them some change if I do have at that time. But sometimes I think maybe some of them should have the ability to find a job instead of begging, at least they can make a good speech. The train quieted down for a while, all I hear is ding-dongs, the sound of doors opening and closing. I looked at the people around me enjoying music with earphones, playing games on the smartphone or taking a nap. They were all in their own world.

Law review: an audio experience

Hearing the opinion of the 7 judges in the NYS Court of appeals in the case of The people vs. Brown makes me think that the argument made by the appellant was suffice and accurate as to the ethical aspect of the case. It was argued that it was a conflict of interest in part of the defense attorney in the matter. The attorney was representing the witness to the crime and the witness hired the attorney to represent both the witness and the defendant is very strange. I am very shocked that the judge on the bench didn’t questioned why the defendant wanted the lawyer and explained to the defendant what a non-waiver of conflict is and how it would challenge his outcome of the trial. The judge ruled against him and was sentenced 25 to life in jail for murder. Now the NYS court of appeals sees the errors that were made in the trial and remanded the case back to Supreme Court New York County for retrial of the matter.

Internal Revision: A Process of Discovery by Donald Murray

1) According to Donald Murray “writing is rewriting” he explains many find it a burden while others accept its condition. The rewriting gives a chance to perfect the story you have written. There is no such a mistake in writing, each writing have unlimited that means there is no score, yet you write for better. In addition there are many opportunities and strengthen you gain from your writing.

2) Donald Murray explains that discovery is a process of using language to discover meaning in experience and to comminute it. The more words you discovery the more vivid and better your writing will be. The discovery used by your creativity in writing where a writers discovers ideas while writing and “ignorance” is were also writers makes progress from their lack of knowledge in writing and understanding the words used.

3)The process and product explained in the text is important  in life and we should be able to find a way to build high quality products with focus and efficiency. The product and process approaches originally appeared in education as different strategies for approach in writing.

4) External revision can involve the processes which are difficult and challenging such advertisements, proofreading, editing and etc. Internal revision is a process which Murray finds to be normally passed on or overlooked by writers. It involves the process of revising your work to improve forms of language, grammar, context and voice.

5) Content is something we should take some time and research new information on the subject matter you are going to write about and search for new content. Form and structure means creating the beginning, middle and end to your story so writing a draft to formulate these concepts and ideas. Language leads the writer to a certain style and flow sort of looking and searching for more words to make the story vivid and alive. The reader would have a really vivd description in their mind of your story.

  5. Use the juice pusher to help pass the harder produce.
  6. End with watermelon  pieces as needed to reach 20oz. Watermelon amount may vary due to naturally high water content.
  7. Serve in a cup and enjoy !
