To all my friends

I had a snow ball fighting game with Lindsey and William this afternoon. Who are they? Ohya, they are the kids I am taking care of right now. Yes...Switching. After saying goodbye to the people, both good and bad, I ended up like a garbage, being thrown from one place to another. I felt like shit, seriously.

At the very LAST minute, Trust me, the VERY VERY last minute... I got my match. It's all due to my GREAT COUNSELLOR, Judy's help, she fighted for me so hard, thank you, love you. She's my mother in US.I love her so much and I swear that I will fly back and see her sometime.

SO yes, I am in New York right now, Long Island. It's a very good place but frankly speaking, I love California the most... I had my darkest days there, though at the same time, I had my sweetest moments there, too.I will be back.

Life is so unpredictable. I like my new family here. My host mom is just so cool. She has just divorced so she's the only adult I have to deal with. No man here. Man creates A LOT of problems, don't you guys think so? It's so damn true.

I am trying to settle down and move toward my next station in life.

Love you guys.

seeya.

BYE

Time to say goodbye. They told me that it's always hard to say goodbye. I am not sure.

These three months, ups and downs, thick and thin, weal and woel. I have learnt to be thankful. I have learnt to be appreciate. I have grown to be a whole brand new person.

Bye Jarecky family. Bye my boys, Sean, Ethan and Matthew. Don't be so crabby anymore, spare the new au pair. We have our own emotions to handle, too.

Finally, everything came to an end. It's not a good match.

Looking at the monitor right now, I don't know where am I going.

Seriously, I don't know.

GOD. You are still cruel to me.

*sigh.

Christmas in LA

We had a cluster meeting in LA last December. It was a christmas party. All of the members had to prepare present for gift exchange session plus dishes featured hometown flavour. Hehe. It was a nice party. Again, a little unition nation being formed from au pairs hailed from all over the world. We had good food, good games, good chat and good time. Check it out, yeah!~

The party was held at one of the au pairs' host parents' house. That was Ring's family. No kidding, a super rich family. You guys should go and have a look at their house. They have one swimming pool, one massaging pool, three living room, three activities room, two guests room and a lot of other different specified areas. The house is just huge. Wow. Rich Americans. I don't have time to upload too many photoes of their houses. Just two to let you have an overview. They look good, aren't they?



We tried to make some christmas decoration with rasphberries and popcorns. Yes, the ingredients are kind of weird, but see the result. Not too bad, right? We placed the special necklaces around the small christmas tree we had beside the pool later. :P


YoYoYo! Time to get wet in the hot massanging tub! Hot girls. Drool.. :P


Au pairs and counsellor! Neat Party!


Wow! This is the gift-exchange game. The eldest son of Ring's family passed each and everyone of us a small paper bag to pick a number. The one who got number one would go under the christmas tree and picked a present up. Those who got later numbers would have the right to either pick a new present under the tree or just simply took away some others' presents. Those whose gifts had been taken away would have to pick another one. It sounds complicated but it actully not. hehe. It's simple. :P and we had fun. :P

This is the big Christmas Cake we had in the party. All of us had eaten too much as each and everyone of us brought our own 'homecooked' meals to the party. So, none of us really liked the cake. haha;; In fact, we were just too fulled. *wink. Opppsss.. I should took one picture of the dishes on the table as they were prepared by hot girls' all over the world. :P yo! I forgot. GOSH>

FUture?

We have all these beautiful plans about our FUTURE. Everything sounds so perfect. Though, it's hard to be acchieved. At the same time, it's not impossible.

Never in my life I have been so lost and down before. The decision being made. However, the God just refused to spare me. HE gave me a lot of problems to overcome. I am not sure if I will be able to make it...way too many difficulties. Life is never a bed of roses, it's a bed of thorns. Once I have got over a problem, another huge disaster alaways awaiting me up front. I hate to shriek curse, but, GOD... I am praying right now.. Please show your kindness to me. I may not be the utmost perfect girl in this world but I have never did something really evil. Spare me and help me, please...

I have dreams that I want to make them come true. PLEASE. I have had enough, show me your love compassion, let everything plain sailing since I have been fighting so hard for everything.

I saw 'The pursuit of Happyness" with Protocol in New Jersey weeks ago. There a quote that I love the most--"Never ever let anyone to tell you that you cannot do something. When you have a dream, you have to protect it.."

That's just fabulous... I HAVE to be strong. Fight for myself...

GOD, PLEASE.... I appreciate that.

American Football

Americans always have their own unique culture and activities. Sometimes, the things that they do are hard to be understood. Here's an obvious example: American Football. Basically, it got nothing to do with my 'foot' or your 'feet'. It's merely a a game of grabbing and snatching the ball in whatever violent way and then throw it to a particular distance. Well, somehting like that. O have watched a lot of footbal games, either live or on TV with my American friends. But, still, I am vague about the rules. It's just weird, like most Americans.

I asked one of the Americans, 'WHy you guys call it football? It got nothing to do with foot."
He said, "I seriously don't know. The game actually represents American culture. The players are free to do anything, just to get the ball from other players."

INTERESTING.

Every month, we have our cluster meeting somewhere in Los Angeles. Last November, we went to UCLA to witness the football game with A LOT of other fottaball fans. Wow! It's truly amazing. I couldn't describe the scene perfectly in words. A picture speaks a thousand words. Let's have a look!

No kidding. A lot of people!!! People mountain People sea. hehe. Manglish!

Hot cheerleaders and ochestra representatives.

College players on field. I think the players are from UCLA and soem other college players from Michigan? or FLorida? Gosh. I forgot. But, seriously. their outfits are funny.
70% of the au pairs in Ventura and LA area.
Hot Germany girls!

I think we were there to take pictures, instead of watching the game. hehe.

I remember my American friends who cheered and screamed and cursed while watching the footbal game at home with friends or family. They would clapped their hands real hard and yelled like nobody around them when the team they support wan or vice versa. Even the older generation are passionate about the game. COOL!

That's what we have in US, baseball and football. They don't care about soccerball, which is actually the real football. :P hehe. Maybe it's because they don't really have their own significant soccer team. Who knows? wild guess!
