Summarized the story "The Magic Finger" by Roald Dahl

                 I recently read the story "The Magic Finger" by Roald Dahl. It is about a girl with a magic finger and her friend's family. She and her friend's family are the main characters in the story. I don't know her name after reading the whole story and the author didn't mention it. She lived on a farm next to Mr. Gregg and Mrs. Gregg's. They are the parent of William and Philip. Sometimes, they played together happily. Every weekend, Mr. Gregg and his two sons hunt animals and birds in the woods. They love hunting very much but the girl never liked it. To the Gregg family, hunting is just plain fun. The girl with the magic fingers thought that it was just plain horrible. She tried to be polite and to talk them out of it, but the Greggs only laughed at her.  They didn't care about it.  One day, she saw the scene of carrying a dead, young deer with them it made her cross. Therefore, she put her magic finger on them all and went back home. When she was very, very angry, the little girl's Magic Finger took over them. She really couldn't control it, and now it's turned the Greggs into birds! Before they knew it, the Greggs were living in a nest, and that was just the beginning of the problems and they felt the same feeling as wild ducks. She might taught them a lesson and the situation was totally changed. The author pointed out "how Karma worked" and "what happens when the hunter becomes the hunted"?   

My opinions about the presidential election in America

        November, 5th is an important date for America, and it can be decisive for the next 4 years what it is happening. I saw the lives on BBC last night while I was thinking about what the future is. In addition, I personally like Kamala Harris and want her to be a President as a woman for the first time in US history. Moreover, I want her to have many more commitments while campaigning. I think that she has less experience in political life than Donald Trump. On the other hand, I might think that Donald Trump is not a perfect person to be the President but he has a concrete plan for the US. In his victory speech, Trump vowed: "I will govern by a simple motto: Promises made, promises kept". I do hope he might keep his promises during his presidential life. On the other hand, he never took care of Burma (Myanmar) as well as banned DV for Burmese people in the first term of the presidency. Overall, I am ineligible for voting this year and hopefully, I can vote in the next election in 2028. 

My English teacher made me a difference in my life

        My childhood teacher, Mr. Soe Win made a difference in my life by improving my “English” and “Thinking about Life”. I was a student at his school after finishing high school. He opened his private “English” class in my hometown. My class was every weekend because I worked for the supermarket on weekdays. His teaching experience was about 25 years and his lecture was amazing. He taught the students in grammar, reading, and writing. He encouraged every student to love English and told me “Never be afraid of the English language”. Therefore, I can read the articles in Time Magazine and Reader Digest. On the other hand, he shared his working experiences at the government office and said “To be a good citizen, to be intelligent and to be honest”. I obeyed my teacher saying forever and now I am still studying English. I love “English” too. He is a great teacher to me and has loved “English” throughout his life. He passed away in 2023 and I am still feeling very sorry about that. I miss my teacher and do wish he might be in a peaceful place.

What are you good at? What is something you are proud of?

        I am good at thinking positively and I always start smiling at people. When I wake up from bed, I always wish that every person may be peaceful, healthy, and wealthy. Then I deeply breathe in and out with mindfulness. I think positively about everything I meet and always say "Thank you" for a tiny thing. Even though I met some problems or obstacles I still think positively. I take care of my actions in every detail and I overcome it.  I am a helpful person and share my time with my family, friends, and other people who need to get help. I live in a simple life and I am proud of my helping. 

About my friend from my country that is moving to California next month

    This is about my friend who is moving to California next month. They just had a visit visa from the US embassy in Burma (Myanmar). My friend has five family members including two kids. The eldest kid is in Grade 5 and the youngest is in Grade 1. They decided to set their life up in Los Angeles. I advised them how and what to do the important things. Firstly, they should bring their legal documents such as their kids' birth certificates, marriage certificates, and education documents. Secondly, they should learn about immigration, education, and health care information via the website before they leave. Finally, they ought to meet new people with diverse cultures. As for my side, I have to find an appropriate place to live for them and elementary schools for their kids. I said the weather and general information so they shouldn't get stressed out. 

My neighborhood

     I have lived in Rosemead City since I moved to the US in April. My environment is quiet and safe for my family. Most Asian people live here and we can see many Chinese supermarkets and restaurants. I have Chinese and Burmese neighbors. A huge Chinese family is on the left side of my house. I usually see two senior people in the house who are gardening every morning. Sometimes, I see middle-aged people. I think they always go to work. They have a small garden and four dogs which always bark at me. 

    There is a Burmese people's house which is on the right side. While I was picking up my daughter from her school we saw them. They spoke in the Burmese language and I greeted them "Mingalarbar". They are all women and we had a very nice chat. They don't have any dogs. I love my neighborhood because they live peacefully and quietly. 

My favourite songs

     Today I listened to the songs from Mrcesl3 blog and my favourite songs are "Time After Time" by Cyndi Lauper and "Lighting Seeds" by Pure among all songs. I am writing to request to post the songs "The Power of Love" and "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion. I hope Mr. C will post these two songs soon.
