My New Hair Style in 2018

2018-07-20T21:44:00.001-04:00

My ibu is so proud of me. For the first time I cut my hair and paid it with my own money from my summer job. She brought me to her friend's house who has her own hair salon business. She is from Vietnam. I chose a picture of Asian hair style and she cut same like the picture I chose. I'm so happy.

My ibu: You look like a Japanese girl. So, what's your new name now?
Me: Ayasato 😊
My ibu: OK, Aya, let's go home now!😄

My New HairStyle

2016-08-21T15:19:00.000-04:00

I was excited yesterday as my ibu (mom) brought me to HairStyle salon at Walmart. She made an appointment with her friend, Huyen, from Vietnam after I told her I wanted short hair. After we both came back from church, we brought BBQ chicken for lunch and couple of things from flea market, then we went to Walmart to buy my school supplies. I was really happy that I got the things I wanted. This makes me very excited to come back to school next week.

Mom took some pictures of me before and after I got my new hair style, so we could compare both of the hair styles. Which one do you like best?

POEMS: Welcome Back to School

2015-08-31T19:45:00.005-04:00

"Dear students, the summer has ended.

The school year at last has begun.

But this year is totally different.

I promise we'll only have fun.

We won't study any mathematics,

and recess will last all day long.

Instead of the Pledge of Allegiance,

we'll belt out a rock 'n' roll song.

We'll only play games in the classroom.

You're welcome to bring in your toys.

It's okay to run in the hallways.

It's great if you make lots of noise.

For homework, you'll play your Nintendo.

You'll have to watch lots of TV.

For field trips we'll go to the movies

and get lots of candy for free.

The lunchroom will only serve chocolate

and Triple-Fudge Sundaes Supreme."

Yes, that's what I heard from my teacher

before I woke up from my dream.

by Kenn Nesbitt

~ ~ ~

Hip-hip horray!
I'm in the first day of Middle School today.
Excited and nervous.

I could not wait to get ready soon
even though it was still at 5 AM.
Having breakfast at 5.30 AM
and waiting for the school bus coming at 7 AM.

My mom got mad.
I woke up too early.
Made her wake up too early, too.
She said tomorrow I had to set up the alarm at 5.45 AM
instead of 5 AM.

In the bus I took a seat by myself at the front.
Everybody was so quiet.
No talk, no laugh, no smile
and I was busy with my own thought.

When I came back from school
My mom asked me so many questions.
But I only had one response,
"Mama, I could not open my locker."

Getting Ready For New School Year

2015-08-27T08:21:00.001-04:00

Yay!!! Ibu (Mom) and I went to orientation yesterday. I was excited. I will be in the middle school this year.

Several weeks ago she guided me to start cleaning my room and got ready for everything for school. Last Sunday we went for little shop after church and bought some school supplies. I also used the gift card from my sister, Sissy. She gave me as a gift for my Bronze Award in Girl Scouts couple months ago. Ibu suggested me to use it to buy a nice pink chair for my desk and I agreed. We also went to coin star station and got some $$. I used my own money to buy a nice back pack too.

When we came back, ibu installed the chair. I spun-spun around enjoying my new chair. It was so fun and I was very happy having my first cool new chair.

She then handed me a dark sketch paper and pointed the sharpened sticks in a clear glass. Before I started, Ibu reminded me, "We only have five minutes. Could you sketch in five minutes, please?"
I replied, "Sure". When my action started, she had been busy with her digital camera. These are the pictures she took:
