Heran: Ooooh what're you looking at?
Me: Phones. I need a new phone.
Heran: Get the iPhone 5! I'm getting one!
Me: No, it's expensive with the data plans and other stuff.
Heran: It's $40 extra on your family plan.
Me: Too bad I'm separating from my family plan. It'll be $80.
Heran: Let's get a plan together.
Me: And start a family?
Heran: YEAH!

A teacher in New York was teaching her class about bullying and gave them the following exercise to perform. She had the children take a piece of paper and told them to crumple it up, stomp on it and really mess it up but do not rip it. Then she had them unfold the paper, smooth it out and look at how scarred and dirty it was. She then told them to tell it they’re sorry. Now even though they said ...they were sorry and tried to fix the paper, she pointed out all the scars they left behind. And that those scars will never go away no matter how hard they tried to fix it. That is what happens when a child bullies another child, they may say they’re sorry but the scars are there forever. The looks on the faces of the children in the classroom told her the message hit home. Pass it on.

Send in your questions (they’re completely anonymous!) and our baristas Nicky and Clarissa (who are also Cal students) will answer them every Thursday.

I should be unpacking from my trip from back home.

I should be packing for my trip to Big Bear tomorrow.

But I am doing neither and am on tumblr, facebook, and email.

I’m just really tired and I wish I was back at home.

I don’t think I’ve ever been homesick so quick. Especially since I was just at home earlier today.

Mom's a jokester

So I bought a new pair of knee high boots last week because because I’ve been wanting a pair for quite some time. I gave them to Guy yesterday so he can bring to Riverside later this week since its not like I’m going to fly a box of boots down.

When he got home, he texts me “my mom wants your boots.” I tell him “hell no I got those boots for a reason.” I told my mom and she’s like “how tall is she?” and I tell her around the same height as me then she goes “that’s perfect, they’re bound to fit her too.”

Then I remembered it is his mom’s birthday in 2 days and I ask my mom if I should get her something and she’s like “oh you can give her those boots haha.”

Green Pedestrian Crossing created by Jody Xiong

The China Environmental Protection Foundation developed an outdoor campaign, displayed on the street, to creatively promote this message. They decided to leverage a busy pedestrian crossing; a place where both pedestrians and drivers meet.

The campaign involved laying a canvas 12.6 metres long by 7 metres wide on the ground, thus covering the pedestrian crossing with a large leafless tree. On either side of the road, beneath the traffic lights, were placed sponge cushions soaked in green, environmentally friendly, washable paint. As pedestrians walked towards the crossing, they stepped on the green sponge, thus leaving green foot imprints on the canvas of the tree. Each ‘green’ footprint on the canvas looked like leaves growing on a bare tree, which made people feel that by walking they could create a greener environment.

The ‘Green Pedestrian Crossing’ was carried out across 7 thoroughfares in Shanghai. The campaign was then extended to 132 roads across 15 cities in China, with a participation exceeding 3,920,000 people.

Watch their video below:

Beachful goodness

If I do move somewhere closer to the beach…where I’m far away from the desert, I will consider buying an underwater case for my camera so when I do go out to the sea, I’ll be able to share my underwater experience.

I’ve made a goal to try all water sports by the end of this year when I graduate from UCR. So far I’ve tried snorkeling, surfing, skim boarding and boogie boarding. Next up is kayaking, paddleboarding, jet skiing, and potentially wakeboarding and tubing! I’m just really excited for next year :)

Guy: What do you want from China?
Me: Whatever you think suits me
Guy: I'll get you a sweatshop worker.
Me: Haha why?
Guy: They're really popular and I'm sure if one of them disappears, they won't know.

SNORKELING!

Mon, 30 Jul 2012 00:51:01 -0700

I’m really excited to go snorkeling next weekend! I’ll be going to La Jolla with OE and Camila so I’m sure it’ll be a lot of fun. And what’s sad is that it’ll be my first beach trip since spring quarter.

“

I was shown how fragile life was on Saturday. I saw the terror on bystanders’ faces. I saw the victims of a senseless crime. I saw lives change. I was reminded that we don’t know when or where our time on Earth will end. When or where we will breathe our last breath. For one man, it was in the middle of a busy food court on a Saturday evening.

I say all the time that every moment we have to live our life is a blessing. So often I have found myself taking it for granted. Every hug from a family member. Every laugh we share with friends. Even the times of solitude are all blessings. Every second of every day is a gift. After Saturday evening, I know I truly understand how blessed I am for each second I am given.

I feel like I am overreacting about what I experienced. But I can’t help but be thankful for whatever caused me to make the choices that I made that day. My mind keeps replaying what I saw over in my head. I hope the victims make a full recovery. I wish I could shake this odd feeling from my chest. The feeling that’s reminding me how blessed I am. The same feeling that made me leave the Eaton Center. The feeling that may have potentially saved my life.
