Babies on the Mind! (05.13.16)

Do you see this baby? Do you see how cute she is?! Do you see her cute little cheeks, her hose, her chin, her double chin, her tummy, her fingers, and her ever so slight frown? This is my baby niece!! Isn't she adorbs?! I mean, from the thin hair atop her head to her little fingers and toes, she just has so much personality!! She smiles when she sees you and then is near tears when you leave her alone! She is happy and then sad and then, in between!

If I had children one day, I'd want them to be as adorable as she was!! She was actually entered in a competition!! Here is the LINK to the competition!!! To vote for her, you have to email your top 5 picks to THIS email address!! You will also have to give your name, address, and phone number because that's how they make sure there are no duplicate voting, which means you can only vote once!! Just so you know, she is #21, #23, and #24!! I also really like the baby with glasses, despite the lack of expression on him... and #11, the yoga one!! So cute!!

Anyways, please have a great week and be happy! Don't forget to spread the joy and love to those around you!! BERNIE SANDERS ftw! :D

Discriminated at 6 Years Old (04.05.16)

When I was young, I thought I was White. Not only was my skin more fair than most of the White kids, I seemed LEAGUES smarter than them, too. So, they put me back in the normal class with normal kids. Oh yes, because they didn’t know what to do with Asian kids, they put them in the Special Ed class, and they put me in ESL. Those racists thought I would be slow and non-verbal. And when I showed them I thought faster than the normal kids and spoke better than most of the normal speaking kids, they felt I had justified my abilities and put me in with the normal education kids. … And when I did better than them in class, I was called a show-off. (Talk about a double standard.)

The funny part was, English isn’t really my second language. Mandarin is. I grew up listening to, reading, and watching Disney movies! And, I still remember watching old classics with my parents, when Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn charmed their way through their troubled lives, and Fred Astaire and Jean Kelly danced me through my dreams. Oh, heck ya! I was White on the inside, and nicely beige on the outside. I knew more about the classics and fairytales, could recite lines verbatim, and they still thought I wasn’t qualified to be in the normal classes when they met me. What the poop, right?!

I used to look at my classmate, who was an autistic and wheelchair bound handicapped girl and wonder how we ended up in the same class. Did they see me like this, too? And when Emily, her normal friend, came in, we chatted like normal kids. I think there’s a real problem with the way “All-Americans” see minorities. I was born in Texas and raised in California, and yet, I’m still, somehow, a second-class citizen. It just burns me up when I think about this. But then, again, if Trump ends up being elected… many more of my kind will be back to where I had been when the authorities in the school racially profiled me and put me in the special ed class.

BERNIE SANDERS FOR THE WIN!!!

*Honestly… if you look at his politics and realize that the media doesn’t like him because he’s for the PEOPLE and not big companies, you’ll understand why he is the best choice. I mean, just check out his EDUCATION PLAN!!
