Update from America
I'm on the other side of the world at the moment (New Jersey to be exact). My cousins and I still can't believe we're here. Basically, we've just been going places and eating a lot of delicious food.
We also went to a basketball game to cheer for my cousin's favorite team, the New Jersey Nets!
tickets to the game!
the empty court
I have better pictures but they're in my camera, and I didn't bring the software to connect my cam to the computer LOL.
Anyway, the game was fun though I pretty much slept through the first half. My only excuse is that I'm not much of a basketball fan. I did stay awake in the third and fourth quarters though when the game started to heat up. It was just so cool watching the players pass to each other and make all the three-pointer shots. And the best part? The New Jersey Nets won! Oh, yeah!
We've also been eating and shopping. We haven't been doing much since some of my cousins are having a little jetlag.
the cousins at CostCo
We did go to CostCo two days ago just to look around. We also ate pizza.
lovely pizza
The pizza was delicious. I loved the mushrooms.
I need to type a little faster now since it's time for breakfast.
Anyway, last night, we headed for Arthur's Tavern. It was the most Americanized restaurant I've been to.
Checkered red tablecloths, and large portions. Yup, very American.
drool
The steak was good. Considering I wanted medium rare, it was cooked just right. The meat was juicy with just a bit of blood.
I'm nothing against these huge American servings though. I can never finish food comfortably; I ordered the Junior SIrloin serving and finished really full. My cousins ordered steaks twice as big and had to bring some home in doggie bags.
Well, it's a new day today. I think we're going to the zoo or something like that.
Bye, everyone! Until next time!

So I'm Daisy (or fedora_girl)
I'm (naturally) wearing the fedora.
I'm a Chemical Engineering student --- getting that degree sometimes involves putting my brain through a strainer --- who also enjoys living life and eating like every meal is my last meal.
I'm a child of God, and that gives my life meaning.
I adore my family and friends. We spend a lot of time together, so they occasionally come up in my posts.
I also take pictures, do computer work, and scribble. I use Adobe Photoshop for long periods of time, and design blogs. I submit most of my good photos and drawings in
my DeviantArt account, and my blog designs in
my Blogskins account.
I read a lot. My favorite books of all time are the Holy Bible,
Pride & Prejudice,
The Scarlet Pimpernel,
The Boy Who Could Fly,
The Nanny, &
Charlie & The Chocolate Factory.
I don't like watching TV because I feel it gives me wrong ideas about the real world. I'm partial to period dramas, musicals and other good movies though. A few that I like are
Pride & Prejudice (2005 version),
North & South (a BBC TV drama),
Facing The Giants,
Sixteen Candles, &
Singin' In The Rain.
I love music; I like a lot of genres. I'm getting into country music and some good rock at the moment. I also adore movie soundtracks and songs that are more than 60 years old.
And about this blog...
It's pretty much a personal thing. It's filled to the brim with my escapades, thoughts, stuff I make, and just plain observations. Random, really.
Hope you enjoy it!
