I want to personally wish all Little Stars' Diary visitors and supports a happy and prosperous Chinese New year! It is the year of the dragon this year, did you celebrate Chinese New Year? I know many of you may not exactly be Chinese or of other Asian cultures but did your community have any Chinese New Year celebrations? My city did and well it was a lot of fun! I am going to upload some pretty pictures of some ice sculptures that were carved and put on display at the Chinese cultural center in Chinatown. I love when Chinese New Year comes around, it is just like celebrating "Christmas" all over again. You put up red and gold decorations and prepare the tastiest (though not healthiest) foods, and best of all RED POCKET MONEY!!! Though I had to celebrate Chinese New Year at school this year, I was really glad that the beginning of Chinese New Year landed on a weekend this year, so I still got two days off to celebrate with my family and friends! Be sure to check out my recipes section for tasty recipe ideas!

Stuffy Noses

Stuffy noses and sore throats
are never fun to have (>.<)

One thing I don't like about the winter season is the common colds/flu viruses that circulate the air. I mean the weather is already cold enough, yet to increase our discomfort, the pesky little viruses float around in the air entering into the human body systems. It's kind of unfortunate that I will have to start my new semester of school with such undesirable feelings. Seriously I hate the feeling of not being able to breath properly. Better yet, sound extremely congested when I am talking. I think I will have to drink loads and loads of Lemon water to boost my immune system (T.T).

School starts tomorrow..... I think I have mixed feelings about that, well A) I am not too excited but still glad I can go back and continue achieving towards my dreams. B) I am definitely not happy about waking up early to get my butt to school......once again 8 AM classes Monday to Thursday!  Woohoo...plus evening work shifts (~.~). I did recently found a new job as an MOA. Still on the trying out/ probation phase, as I just got hired this week. Lots to learn and remember, but let's hope it will help my studying too... to stay on track and not procrastinate so much.

Well that is all. I need to get some rest before my evening shift tonight. Hope all friends who are heading back to school tomorrow will have a great semester! Ganbadei kudasai!
