horoscope


          

               Looking up horoscope is one of my interests. On my free time I usually will go online and search information on horoscope. There is daily horoscope, Love Compatibility test, Psychic Readings and etc. Personally I think it is fun to read horoscope information. I like to read my own horoscope and the one that are close to me. I’m a scorpion and I keep track of most of the updated information about Scorpio. For example, I read about Scorpio Love Horoscope, Scorpio Career Horoscope, Scorpio Money Horoscope, Scorpio Wellness Horoscope and Daily Chinese Horoscope. Another good thing about horoscope is it tells you your personality. For instance when I look up scorpion personality, they will tell me scorpion is Passionate, determined, brave, and a true friend. In addition to that if you want to know love compatibility, you can find out by entering your horoscope and your partners. For me I found out Scorpio is a perfect match with Cancer. They are both water signs dominated by sensuality. Cancer and Scorpio share a common desire. Both want to settle down. Both are comfortable in the realm of silence. In addition to that I do a lot of tests about my personality, love and work. This is a great thing to discover and to know.

klout

               
              Recently, I just started using Klout. Klout is a site that measures your influence in the society.  Klout collects all the data and information online and measures your influence on society. For example they collect information from Facebook, Google+ and Twitter and create a profile for you. I heard that everyone has Klout even when you don’t know.  People basically sign up either with twitter or facebook to allow them to get information from your social websites. Klout measures user’s online influence on a scale from 1 to 100, with 100 being the most influential. The score are calculated using variable that can include # of followers, frequency of updates, number of likes, and retweets.  Klout is a very good tool for employers to determine if you are a good employee.  People with high scores means they are very active and are the one who participate on different things and comment on others post. Company and employers all like people who are active. Klout score is distributed to different people using different technologies. Most people use computer, ipad and etc. Now, you can also find Klout on any smart phones such as iphone.  With smart phones it offered klout users a handy way to keep track of their Klout score on the go.  It is very convenient to use a smart phone. I usually check my score when I’m on the bus and on the train. It is a pleasant experience using klout and I will like to share to everyone!

Basket Ball


 My family and I love basketball and we often watch basketball (NBA) during our free time. I was influence by my younger sister and brother. In the beginning I did not like to watch basketball game  at all because I do not understand the rules. Slowly people around me influence me to watch more and more because they constantly watch. For example, my sister would watch while she is eating. My brother would practice basketball at home. Now slowly I like basketball and will join my family to watch when im free. My favorite team is Houston Rockets and Knicks because they have some of my favorite players in there. For instance, Jeremy Lin, Stoudemire, Carmelo Anthony, they are all good players. Once in a while my sister and her friend would go to watch their game in the madision square garden. I heard it was great and she took picture with them. After I heard she get chance to take a picture with Carmelo Anthoy, it makes me want to go too. This year im planning to go to watch the game.

Halloween stories!!!


This is a scary story. I remember this story since a friend told me a year ago. and i would share with everybody.
A man went to a hotel and walked up to the front desk to check in. The woman at the desk gave him his key and told him that on the way to his room, there was a door with no number that was locked and no one was allowed in there. Especially no one should look inside the room, under any circumstances. So he followed the instructions of the woman at the front desk, going straight to his room, and going to bed. The next night his curiosity would not leave him alone about the room with no number on the door. He walked down the hall to the door and tried the handle.
if it was me, i would never first check in the room and stay over.

Tofu pudding is a popular Chinese dessert. It is made with very soft tofu. It is referred to as tofu pudding.
In mainland china we eat tofu pudding with sweet ginger or clear syrup. In Taiwan, tofu pudding is served with sweet toppings like cooked peanuts, beans, tapioca, nuts and etc.

a good movie

The Thing From Another World is a science fiction movie where many investigation and researches are presented. The movie starts out in the Officers Club in Alaska, the pilot Captain Hendry receives an order from General Fogarty to investigate something that has crashed on Earth. At the post they discovered two objects. One was the spacecraft buried in ice. The second object which was a frozen life form buried in ice. With a closer look the scientist assumed it was the pilot of the ship. The failure of using thermite bomb to release the spacecraft led the group not to risk it again on the frozen pilot, instead they made plans to transport the block of ice to the research station. Hendry intended to move the block of ice to the storeroom to prevent any melt downs. Barnes has taken over to watch the creature. Without thinking, he accidently throws an electric blanket over the ice causing it to melt. Barnes reports Hendry and the scientist and that the creature is alive. The creature escapes from the storage room. The creature’s arm is discovered. Through further investigation they discovered that the alien is made of vegetable matter that needs blood to survive. In the movie, the social group were not working together. Therefore it takes them a long time to kill the alien. First, they use fire to burn the alien. It did not work out. At the end they want to try electrocution and the creature is reduced to ash.  

I like this movie because it proves that it will work out much better if the groups can form a plan of action, communicate and fight back together.
