Another baby?

I've recently just had my second son in beginning of may. And now that he's got 3 month left to be a baby, me and my husband want another baby. I honestly, don't mind it's a tough job but having a bigger family is what I really want too. My husband is done with school this year, so he will be able to actually staying with me and the boys, so I don't have to worry about always having a baby sister while I'm at school. I'm done, next fall and hoping that we will get our chances of another lucky baby. But however, I don't want to expect instead we're just waiting on the unexpected. We're not planning anytime soon but if it happens, then I guess we're just in luck.

Education is important

With finals exam coming up and this fall semester is coming to an end, I feel a bit relived. Although I hate staying home and having nothing to do but eat, sleep, read and watch television, it gives me a good opportunity to actually spend more time with my family. I haven't thought about what to do for winter break exactly but I'm hoping something soon, before spring semester start. School goes super fast when it comes to you working so hard, on homework and trying to ace an class; by the time you realize school is finish.

I'm hoping by the end of next fall I will be done at UW-Sheboygan, so I can transfer to UW-Oshkosh  or Uw-platteville. My major is basically liberal arts into organization administration. Since, my husband got accepted in UW-Madsion for next year, and got an job opening at UW-Platteville I hope that either one will turn out good. I never thought that I would be here today, in college. Now that I'm almost done, I can really look back and say I'm proud of myself. Even though I wasn't really good at school, I feel like I can really make something out of myself if I try harder.

Having my family and my husband's family support me and my husband I feel wonderful into making things possible. My younger sister almost graduating this year, don't want to go to college. I'm trying my best to influence her into continuing further in school. Why? I think not only does it help you in life to find a better job but to educated you more so when you have your own kids you can also help them, and teach them school is important. My husband's cousin who is an repeated senior, three times has learn it the hard way.

Not to criticize anyone who don't decided to go to college, but I think they should. And if they chose not to, then later on life it will be consequences on them later on. sometimes its good to make mistakes because it can leave you into learning and then making better choices in life. And other times, you make mistakes, and chose not to learn but doing it over can cause an cycle, that leave your choice nowhere. I hope all students or children learn that education doesn't have to be serious all the time, if you take your time you can actually turn out to like or love it and even find something in life to learn to love from what your learning along the way.

Cold sore, stuffing nose, flu who isn't sick?

On Friday I had a bad fever, and barely couldn't walk. Every time I stood up I felt as ifI was going to faint. I could see stars every step I take but if I was to laid down I felt like sleeping. Not only was I sick, but my two son had really bad runny nose and stuffing nose. The whole weekend was feeling sick and taking care of my sons.

My husband couldn't come this week home, since he's got studying to do for some of his final. It's pretty hard taking care of my two sons especially their always sick. My older son has a very weak immune system so he can catch a cold just by other sneezing. I hate giving him medicine because it's so hard to make him take it.

With Christmas coming just around the corner I haven't even got anything do done. Late at night when I start to get really sweaty I take medicine and make sure I drink my mother in law's Thai medicine herb to heal me. I hate taking medicine too, especially the ones that are really bitter.

So, I hope I would feel better. Because I don't like the cold feeling and the having to wear ten hundred layers of sweaters. I don't know how I will manage when it starting snowing hard, because I hate the snow as well. So I hope everyone stay warm and not sick for Christmas.

Masculinity vs. Femininity

In my sociology class, we're studying about men compare to women. what I found out that was very interesting about that class was that, kids start to developed their gender identity. But when your still a fetus it is still undetermined to tell whether your a boy or girl, so you don't get the sense of identity yet.  In process of them growing up they don't know whether they are boys or girls until the age of 4 to 5 years old. Usually kids learn their gender identity also from their parents, siblings and the people around them.

 Example if a little girl was mostly around her brothers, uncles and father only, she can developed an cycle of masculine. That mean she can be tomboy and do things boys would but her outside looking like a girl. It's okay for a girl to be tomboy because they can soon realize what they really are and turn out to be more feminine when they are around more woman figure. It's basically all on influence of seeing another gender teach, do or show them to be the way they think they are until they hit an certain age of maturity to understand their body feature.

But If you were a boy and like to play dress up or wear makeup then that makes you look bad because a girl can upraised her status but a boy cannot downgrade or lower his status, it would make him look bad and people would look down on him. Boys are suppose to be strong, brave, and aggressive to make themselves masculine but if they were to look like they were strong but act sweet, gentle and sensitive it would make them look weakling.

In my perceptive, I have cousins and friends who are gay and lesbian who I don't treat any of them differently from heterosexual. I think it's bad for the community to judge a person from it's outside, because it's not like they want to be that kind of person; it just happen. I think we people should really take the time to understand homosexual of others because it can bring the society to more peace than hatred. People discriminating one another can not reunite any peacetime, so I think it's better that people understand those before making a bad comment.

New year and thanksgiving

Finally the new year came after having my mother in law sew my outfit. This year, all the ladies had to wear purple outfit. It was pretty hard because all the ladies had gone to the same store, for the same fabric. Luckily my mother in law got enough for my front and back skirt and enough for the shirt design. I was thankful my mother in law sew mine, my husband and my son's outfit less than 3 weeks.

I've always wanted to wear Hmong outfit but it was always so cold and my husband never wanted to wear with me. Since this year my in law made him wear it since they were wearing it too, he decided to wear it. I was pretty glad because every couple matched and I didn't want to be the only one standing out. My son loved his best with coins hanging and his money hat. This year had been the most interesting year because my husban and me got interview from the Sheboygan press and we also attend there after party which was pretty good.

After the last day of new which is today, we went to my husband's aunt house for thanksgiving. I decided to bring my cheesecake I made & shepherd pie. When we got to the house, there was 3 long table filled with food, drinks and goodie bags. There was so much people inside too, it was pretty full to sit anywhere to eat. As we formed a line to eat, my husband's aunt gave a speech to thank you those who could make it and for being a dish to share. As we then started to eat, I headed straight for the egg rolls and turkey breast.

I'm not really a turkey person, so I myself only eat the turkey breast. I love the way my sister in law makes her pineapple cherry mix drink, it's not so much liquor but enough to just sip and get full. Then as we talk and share stories, everyone was having a fun time. Finally, after cleaning up and packing some food home, we got home and ready to hit bed early. This year I'm very thankful for having all those who I love stand by my side and share more memories I the future.

First time having pink eye

I've had the pink eye since thursday which really sucked. I've never had the pink eye before and I hope this will be my last. First my 6 month son had it, then me and then my 17 month old son. It keeps revolving over and over. I took my son and me to get checkup on Friday and we both had prescription eye drop but that didn't really helped.

After using it for one day my eyes became more teary and itching. Beside that my eye swollen double and I could barely open my eyes. I was very mad not the fact that I caught this virus but that I couldn't come to school. I have exam next week and with missing one day can cause so much complication into missing notes and in class points.

Although being at home was a good thing because it also gives me the opportunity to spend time with my two boys. I barely have time with them even on the weekends where I usually catch up on my homework or attend to these big feast we have every other weekend. Not only did I find out how contagious this virus was but my other eye had just caught it on Saturday, since my right eye is so watery and with me keep forgetting that I can spread it through the other eye with one touch.

I was fierce knowing that each day being home went so slow and when your at home; you get more homework than the usual days. I'm trying to ignore my pink eye and daily cleaning it but not so much to where I can also damage it. I just hope sometime this week, I can come back to school seeing clear with both of my eyes.

family picture

On Saturday me and my husband took our two sons to go take a family picture. It was pretty hard decision because my husband wanted to take pictures at an studio in Milwaukee while I just wanted an cheap but decent pictures. Turn out, my cousin who loves to photo shoot was living only 10 minutes away from us. So, we went to her house and she took a few outside which was turn out really good. Then she took some of me and my husband, a couple of my kids alone, some of us at an park and the rest inside her basement.

 Her basement is fully loaded of different backgrounds, lightening lights and even accessories. Talking about carrying away with hobbies, it was more than a hobby to her. It was like a job for her. She does charge other people of whom she take their pictures. Most of her things she buy, she been investing in them from working overtime on her job. I was thankful, she gave me an discount on my family pictures.

She had edit my pictures and made those that I wanted in an CD paying an fee of $5.00 After editing my pictures, I got to look at which ones I want and chose it for wallets, and bigger size. However, I didn't like the fact that she only had 1 hours to take pictures of us. Having more time taking pictures, is what makes picture look better instead of sloppy. It was pretty nice of her not having to make me pay extra for the bigger size of the pictures.

Finally, after having all my pictures me and my husband went to Walmart to buy frames for our pictures. Then I used some of my sister in law's glass plate for my photos. Making a long frame of glass, I glue my pictures onto the glass plates, adding design around it and then putting it on my wall. It was so pretty and thank god it's high too, that way my sons don't break it. However, I did pay $100 for my cousin's picture she took of us, which she said she's going to invest that money into a new camera lens.
