Physical Fitness

Life is God the most wonderful gift. To keep this going on, a physical fitness schedule is required for an individual. Physical fitness is the ability to carry out an action or a piece of work to be healthy and ready to deal with. Physical fitness is also a way to help prevent diabetes, some cancer and heart problem. But first to do physical fitness, you need to ask or see your doctor to make sure that if you have any health condition, before you entering any physical fitness program.
            There are five major components, which contribute to physical fitness are cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, muscular strength, flexibility, and body composition. Cardiovascular endurance is how to check your heart and lungs so that they both are providing oxygen and blood at the same time when you work out. Muscular endurance is to help not to make you getting tired when you exercise. Muscular strength is the ability that helps you to have muscles. Flexibility is to help you get loose and stretching when you're done exercise. And body composition is how you check yourself,  which is according to your height, weight, frame size, and the relative between your fat mass and your muscle mass. So when you do physical fitness you have to know how your body work and how to check your body while you are exercising.
            There are many ways that you can do physical fitness. You can do physical fitness by machines such as treadmills, elliptical, trainers, stair steppers and exercise bike. And you can also do physical fitness by not using this equipment or this machine such as walking, running, working in your garden, riding bike, walking your dog, dancing, swimming, and there are still more activities that you can do. For example, you participate in an activity like soccer, volleyball, basketball, football and more activities. You can do any activities that you like or fit you. And remember not to push yourself so hard. You can just pick one and do it about 30 minutes and stop. Then you can do another difference one that you like on the next day about 30 minutes again. And if you keep going on then you will become healthy, looking good, and feeling better. When you become healthy then you are free of any diseases or diabetes, when you are looking good then it means that your body is in a good shape, and it also helps you feeling better. You will also have energy to help you cope with stresses.
            Finally, a healthy body is a best way for anyone. This is the way for a long and healthy life, because remember that life is God the most wonderful gift. To keep this gift for a long time, a good physical fitness schedule will be an indeed helpful way to start an early life.

Hmong Women’s Way of Giving Birth

I like to tell about how Hmong women live that give birth of a child in Thailand and Laos look like. I had been helping my mother by the way, that prepare the piece of cloth and get the warn water for her when she gave birth to my young sisters and brothers.  Also, I had killed some chicken for she eaten before she gave birth too. Then she won strong and have mike when the baby was born. After that the baby was born, and I had to wash my mother clothes and also the baby too.
When our mother and father brought us into the world, they tore up cloth and wrapped us in it. Our mother gave birth, not on a bed, but on the ground. Our parents had a bed, but it was high, and they were afraid the baby would fall off and get hurt. They put a blanket next to the bed, and the mother gave birth on it. We did not have any doctors then. When the baby was born, the other women were helping out mother would pick it up and washing it. Our mother would then get up to change her clothes, come back into the room, take the baby in her arms, and breast-feed it. We did not have any dairy milk where we lived.    
Three days after a baby was born. Parents would give him or her name. Before naming the baby, however, they would kill some chickens and maybe a pig and have a feast. We did like this way, because from our culture that we believe, but now we do not use it so much. Just some still doing this way because they are in the old religion and also, some people are in Thailand and Laos.    
So now we have doctor and have live difference from that way, but however, still some of our women out there don’t have good doctor. They would have the same life like that, and you do not have to learn like this in here. But I just hope you will understand my experience, and knowing the other women live.

My Favorite Actor

Xa Thao and Chong Thao are my favorite actors’ movies and singers, because most of their movies and singers are true in Hmong culture and life. I like the way that they both show how look like Hmong history through now. They have made good role model for the Hmong culture and true life and let see how they influence and impact on people life.
Xa Thao and Chong Thao are movies actors and singer; their movies are based on Hmong history and cultures. In both of their movies, they wear Hmong clothes, because they wanted to show for the young Hmong generation who did not know about Hmong culture. Most of their songs and movies are about love, because they said that if a person who does not love one another that person won’t have the free life and happy. Xa and Chong have many difference things. Xa was a movie actor before he became a singer, but Chong was a singer and then became a movie actor. Most of Xa’s movies are based on his attitudes, which show how men of traditional Hmong culture act. For example, in Hmong culture, men usually have many wives, and the women always follow what their husband says.  Chong’s movies are best on his attitudes, which show man modern Hmong culture. Xa’s movies, he acted more like himself, but in Chong’s movies, he acts more like how he is told to do. Most of Xa’s movies are funny and sad, but most of Chong’s movies are mostly sad.
Xa and Chong, in their personal live there are many things in their mind are the same. They both have the same favorite food: noodles, hot papaya and rice. They both also, have the same favorite fruit: sweet mango. They both like to plant fruit trees and growing rice and vegetable on a farm. In their free time, they like to exercise, and they like to work hard. Xa’s favorite sport is soccer, but Chong’s favorite sport is tennis. They both like to take time being worked with their family and helping their family when their family needs them.
Therefore, Xa Thao and Chong Thao are still in favorite many people today. Also their songs and movies are still influence people because of their movies can show the young generation who did know about their past history. They had made a great job on their movies that can made people sad, happy, and cry whenever they watch.

My First Experience Working

Perkins was my first place that I was working when we came to United States, and I had to make a lot of myself experience in there. When was my first day of working there, it was nervous me, because I thought that I might not know how to work. If my boss told already then later I might forget because when she came to me and told that sound for me like too many things that need to remember to do.
However, the job I had work at my home as same as that one too that was I thinking when I went to fill the application there the Perkins Restaurant. When I got there still thought that I feel like it was the same job that I had done every day at my home, but I was still nervous because by that time my boss told very things in the room for me. I thought again that I might not do it sound for me that might be hard than I did at home. Then I told myself that I could try this job because I had done something that it was hard than this but I could pass too. For example, the work that I had done, was working in the farm, and I was starting sometime that I was young and didn’t know anything, but I could pass it too now.
I like my first job there, and I like the Perkins restaurant so now I don’t have time for going to work more but if one day I have time then I will be back to work there more. I like the way it was clean and compete for anything. And my boss was very nice to me too when I didn’t know any things there she remembered or let me know again. I love this job and I like the food there too.
Well, my favorite restaurant is the Perkins. I like the Perkins because there was cleaning. When I had been working there for while by summer, and I did not see the things that they do unclean. As I worked as a wash the dashes, and sometime we were very busy then someone who might work so fast, there was a person came to check the working. That person would check the people who wash the dashes, for make sure all the bows, pleats, cups, and glasses are cleaning. If it not cleaned then we had to wash again. Also, the person won to be checks the people who making the food to complete too.

My Future Nature Place

Well, image of a nature place in my mind today. And back to think about Alaska is a place to enjoy nature in a peaceful sitting. I plan one day to vacation in Alaska, to see how peaceful it is. I believe that Alaska will be a peaceful place for many people who want to travel there, because of its waterfalls, mountains, rivers and lakes. My cousin May, says that, when she was there, she went to see these peaceful place.
            May, told me about Alaska is the quiet, both day and night too. My cousin May, said that there are many beautiful of waterfalls in Alaska. Also, she told me that the waterfall is a good place to talk with God and pray to Him. Just hearing the water fall all day can make you feel good when you are there.
 In the time summer, my uncle Dong liked to go to the large rivers to go fishing there. There many people who like to go fishing there too. If you go there you can catch many big fish and also you will see the nice big rivers in Alaska. By the beach you will see the nice seaside, water sail with good wind that will smell like fish. He told me that will make you have fun where you go to these rivers.
Not that’s but there some nice high mountains with snow in time winter. Some of these mountains not very high but when the snow fall then you will see it with nice that higher than. Also, you will see these mountains beautiful by the time spring too, when all the snow melt. So during time summer some mountains still have some snow on the top.
Alaska has many peaceful places to travel through, and I want to go to all these peaceful places in my vacation future. So, I would like to see and get to know more about the nice waterfalls, big river or lake, and high mountains there. In my opinion Alaska is nice to visit, but not to live there because it is colder more than here then. However, I will go to Alaska and visit the nature peaceful place.

A Mother Is A Good Model

I didn’t like old people, because I feel that when my parents talk to us then they sound like yelled all the time. In my lifetime, I searched this for long time that why they always yelled and had told us to do things that we don’t want to do. Even we didn't know that good or bad. So, till now I had found today that our parents told us to be nice person or wanted us did the good things only. Because they love us that is why they told us to be a nice kids. 
So I want to share a great or an important Parents of me that I had found. I found the feel when my dad was not live with us and he told very one of us to love my mom if he didn't stay with us or no more. At the end, he also, told us to be nice kids for her too. then I look to my mom's eyes and my saw that heppen into myself and know about my mom feel for us.
My mother is important to me because she gives me a life and everything. She works hard to save my life and gives everything that I want because she wants me to have fun and happy. She always tells me to go to school and study hard, so in the future I will have a better life. She also tells me to do the good things and be nice to other people. She is a nice and patient person that I have seen in my life.
Even she doesn’t know how to speak and write in English, but she still take care me and everything of the house. For example washes the clothes, cleaning the house, and cooking breakfast and dinner. She never lets me hungry and gets dirty in each day. She always tells me to clean myself and tells me to take a shower. When I was crying, she always gives advice to me and teaches me to be a brave woman. She also tells me do the right thing and never get bad thing or hurt in school and out there anywhere.
My mother was a good example role model to me follows. If she not nice then I think I not an education person and be a nice person. She is not important to me only but she is my life too. She has says to me that “if you are a brave woman then you should never cry and do not let other people see your tears.” But when I did cry and I always let my mom saw if I had problem that couldn’t deal by me. I also, let some friends saw me sometime too.

Not Drinking Enough Water Is Not Healthy
“So far you have dehydration and death within a couple of days. Water is a lubricant for your joints, and it also regulates your body’s temperature so without it you could become stiff, and quite possibly more prone to getting ill. For me personally the more water, I drink the better my immune system works” according to Momma Knows
Today, I was going to visit my friend and we just go to search yahoo.com to find some resources or something to read in the internet. So I found this title call, “not drinking enough water is not healthy” in the internet at yahoo.com. After I had read this resource for little bit with my friend at her home. Then it makes me thought about myself again when I need water because I hadn’t know about that before I done read that resource. Now I know and understand by myself now, “why every time that I did something, I so thirsty and wanted to drink lots of water”.
I am drinking less water is not healthy for my body, because when I drink not enough water cause health problem. For example, if I drink less water on the day or night then I will have dry mouth, dizziness, stomach ache, back pain, and many other as well, that nausea after exercise and dark yellow urine, or sticky mouth.  Therefore, if I lose lot of water then I also, well through urination, respiration and by sweating. So now I know that I need water anytime if I will go somewhere or to do something then I needed water with me.
How much water do I need to drink per day in order to stay hydrate? I have needed to drink two glasses of water before I leave in the morning. During the day if I can, then I try to drink a few bottles of water and at the end of the day I will drink another two to four glasses with the dinner or more as well too. However, if I did drink water every day, then I was healthy. Even now I am still need to drinking more water every day that well, help my think clearly and can stay healthy.
It’s necessary for my brain and if I drink lots of water then I will have most beverages that should do well. Also, I will absorb into my system. I want to share this way with all you in here because I have the experience before and even now still do too. Now I want everyone get healthy by drinking water everyday like me. So then you will have well healthy and have strong muscles. Well, I hope that after I let you know drinking more water then all you will agree with me too.

Time Is Important For Humanity


What happened to time? Time is going fast so when as a child, there everyone laughed and wept, time was crept. Well, when some one as a youth, everyone dreamed and talked, but time was walked. After that everyone became a full grown man or woman, time was run and later on as everyone as older grew, then time was flown. So, soon humanity shall find while traveling on, that time was gone.
Today I read a story that is call, “Thirty-Eight Who Saw Murder Didn’t Call the Police”, and I was thinking about the comparison between my friend’s life and the story after I had read it. In both of these narratives were happening in the past and that time made some people can not did something that they need to do during their live time. When the time was past already then some neighborhood came back to think it against, so they know it was too late for their time. They both of the narratives and neighbors also, lost some important time on the back from beside their live time, and it was sad on by that time.
There is a part in the story of “Thirty-Eight Who Saw Murder Didn’t Call the Police”, that there still has time for all neighborhoods that lived in the building, because when Miss Genovese was screamed the first time, some neighborhood did not help and some neighbor just said something. For example, “when Miss Genovese got as far as a street light in front of a bookstore, windows slid open and voices up from the building, but no one came down to help her”.
When I was living Thailand, I knew my friend and he told me that he had something in his mine but at that time was a compare for him. Then I ask he more about what happened to him, and why he had said like that. He told about his story that in his life time, he had a girl in mine, but now no more that girl because she was married already. He told more to me, there was one day, they both his girlfriend and he were stay together in his grandma’s garden, and he had not said or asked her to married to him. By the way he talked with me just the time was he thinks about with her during the time. It was a sad time and couldn’t turn it again, and it was the past time for him.
The similarities of these narratives were the time that past already but human, or people keep thought of what they haven’t done or had not did it. For example, “Thirty-Eight Who Saw Murder Didn’t Call the Police”, some people that lived in the apartment who was seeing and hearing Miss Genovese screamed for help. But they did care or like some didn’t want to get involve. After that, what they thought was wrong when rethink again then things happen ready. For example, as the same in my friend’s life that he had not asked what he wanted to say for his girl friend and he was waited, but the time was past already.
In both of these narratives, the anther wanted all the people in like us to be audiences, because his want to respond for the next generation. Well, it was sadness if something that happen like this more in the future. So this style will be a short will be writing but it was good more informational, and educated for all audience to read it. These narratives started at two men first. The neighborhood was regret but the Miss Genovese was already killed and the time was past. The man was thinking about his question again. No one could change or return to that time like the same time.
The different from both narratives were that on “Thirty-Eight Who Saw Murder Didn’t Call the Police”, took the place that happen was in an apartment that there building, Street, and bookstore and there was with many people around the time. But in my friend, took place that happened in a garden and with many some flying that like butterflies or dragonfly. The time happened was different from that “Thirty-Eight Who Saw Murder Didn’t Call the Police”, was on March 14, 1964 and my friend was not show the time for me. They also, different time of the stories that “Thirty-Eight Who Saw Murder Didn’t Call the Police”, was written on  the year 1920 to 1995, so my friend was told me on  the year 2004.
Finally, Miss Genovese got killed and the narrative had not asked for his girl friend to be married with him too. Well, this told that our time was important for all humanity to do things before it was too late. Time was fast, so everyone knows about that but everyone cannot take chance for the past thing then. However, people should take time to do what come to mind and people need to think about things happen before everything was late.

My Working At Maywood

Last weekend, I thought about find a place for volunteer to work at. And this week I got me thinking to call for work at Maywood, because I want to know about what is the word Maywood meant. Maywood is a clean place, and many people can work by volunteers. I don’t know much about Maywood Park and don’t know what I will do if get there because it is my first time I volunteer to work. Before I get there, I think that I will have to work in the wood, which has no people around, and then I will be bored, however, when I got there, I saw lots of people and some of those came for bike racing.
At Maywood Park, it’s a nice and clean place for many people who want to set any event. For example, people can do many things of silent sport. I see that Maywood is not an only place for people who like biking but it also a place where people can do many things during the difference seasons such as bicycling, skiing, running, paddling, camping, and more. The weather there is very nice, especially during the summer time.
Maywood is a great place for many people who want to volunteer for working. When I got there, my job was to check the people wristband and made sure that everyone has a wristband on their hand when they came to lunch. As I was sitting at the door, and I saw some of the people don’t have a wristband when they came for lunch. Some say they forgot to take their wristband with them. I sometime have to let them go in and eat, because they seem so hungry.
All the people were who work; there was very polite and nice to me. However, I am the youngest one at Maywood Park. There were two women who volunteer work, and I do not know their name but they come to ask me to go down stare to get some food for eat. Also they asked me to eat lunch too, and said that if I did not eat. And not only the volunteer people were nice to me, some people who came to race sport at Maywood were nice to me. Some of the race people said thank me, for the telling them where to have their lunch. At Maywood not only the people from Sheboygan came to volunteer, but I saw many people came from different cities. For all the race people, their whole family came and some younger than me. I was happy that I have a chance to work with them and learned some nice experience of personally from them. 
Maywood is a good place that many people can meet there, and they can have a lot of fun too. I am very proud of myself that I can work with many of the people whom I haven’t known them before and learned many good things that I haven’t known before too. So if I have time then I want to volunteer to work more at Maywood. I like this position very much because I can meet with many difference people.

A Patience Mother
Imagine that you are in a third world country with no education, no job, no money, and the only way to provide for your family is to farm. At the same time, you have to raise twelve kids, mostly on your own without any help from relatives or family member while your husband is in the war. How will you handle this situation and do you think you would have the strength to go on?
Well, in Proverbs 31, from the Bible, gives us a picture of a Wife of Noble Character. I believe that this woman has these characteristics that this passage is referring to. I will let you know about two ways of which I see that this person has the strongest.
This person is Xae Moua. I believe that she is a patience mother because she had raised twelve kids by herself and had no help from other family members. She taught her kids to know how to work step by step that started from the oldest to youngest kids. She had faith that her kids could help each other when they grow up. She used her patience to be very good actions that not just for a good mother but stand for a nice father to her kids too. She loved and took good care for her kids and made them feel like not without a father during war time. She encouraged her kids by supporting them in any way that she can.
Besides patience, Xae Moua is also a very hard working person who stayed up late and waked up early everyday to provide for her family. She has been working for her family ever since she got to marry to her husband. She worked hard to get enough food to feed her family in times of need during the war back in Laos when her husband was in the war. By both day and night, she took cared all of her kids and work very hard to get food for her family, by the way sometime she didn’t eat at all, but she didn’t think about herself, just wish to get enough for her kids. If anything was left, then she will eat later after her kids were done.
You may wonder who this person is. This character is my Mom, whom has raised 12 kids, including me and has been there all the way until today. She may not be educated like some parents out there and does not speak English like many of us, but she has the heart of an angel and is always looking out for her family.
But on July first of 2010, was a very bad day for my mom because my dad was passed away. She made herself like nothing happed at all, because she didn’t want to show us that she was very struggle with that day and everything at the funeral. Even, I don’t very like the way she showed for us. But I think and believe that the way she did because she loves us. At all my life until now, I see that she is very patience and her patience can make, we feel not without a father. By loving us, she always made a smile face for the day and night. Even that my father had passed away my mom still have the patience to take care us, and she doesn’t leave us along when we have a problem.

Papaya Salad

Most my time today, is doing my homework at home. But what come to mind when you hear the term papaya? Many of you may think papaya is a golden yellow fruit that is eaten by itself or with mix fruit. However, today I'm going to tell you another form of eating papaya, which we call it papaya salad.
First, I and my friends, we think about how to make the good taste papaya salad. Then papaya needs to be mixed with red pepper when make it because it will taste good. If we make hot papaya, and we eat it then we will smell the good delicious papaya. Hot papaya taste better than the papaya without pepper when we eat it. My friends and I eat hot papaya with rice because papaya was the fruit that easily to make and not too expensive. We try to know more about papaya, and we know how to make papaya.
Papaya needs fresh ingredients. The papaya itself has to be fresh with other ingredients then the papaya salad will taste better than without fresh ingredients. The ingredients that will mix together that needs to be fresh are: green papaya, red peppers, limes, peanut, garlic, tomatoes, and tamarinds. If these things are fresh then the papaya salad will be better. Papaya also uses other things such as: If we make papaya with all these things then it will smell good with sour, sweet, and hot pepper.
The papaya salad is a kind that mixed out of difference things and needs many fresh ingredients to mix. Then the papaya may complete for eat, and it will taste good. However, we love papaya salad, by the way, that we can smell the good delicious and the papaya salad taste like sweet, sour with hot pepper mixed together. Also, papaya salad can smell shrimp paste, fish sauce, MSG, sugar and crabs when we eat it today.
