Hi! It's me Maya. And today, I will state my thoughts about snow.
Today was snowy.
You can't imagine how I love snow.
Snowball fight!
There's an old proverb -- "Dogs and kids hops, when it snows". I don't really know about dogs hopping because of snow, but I'm sure I did. When I woke up, the whole world was white, like in fairy tales. The reality felt like a dream when I saw the whiteness all around. Then, snow felt like the most mysterious, and wonderful stuff in the entire universe. I was thrilled, and excited to see/felt snow. I didn't care the coldness. I was too happy to feel anything, that momen as I touched the snow and maked it into a shape of a ball, and throw it to my friend. I was delighted.
When the snowball left my hand, and flew into the sky, the excitement, and happiness rushed all over me. But, next thing I knew--I was freezing. Frankly, I played during the brake(although it was cold). I played with boys, and it was so fun.
Hi, I'm Maya Lee (of course).
And today, I want to talk about "Obesity problems".
These days, obesity is getting very serious. Because most people handle their meal with hamburger, pizza, or other kinds of fast foods, it's getting serious than ever.
When I think of obesity, I always think of Jamie Oliver, the cook. But he's not just an ordinary cook. Although, his foods are delicious, he's working hard on another thing, which is about--obesity, and children's health. He made a speech many times, to stop the obesity. Also, he raised some food revolutions in many schools. He made some healthier meals than chicken nuggets. First, students were furious, but at last, they stopped complaining.
This is a video about Jamie Oliver having some experiments
about chicken nugget to students.
You see, Jamie Oliver's voice changed the world. And if he can do it. we can also do it!
It'll be a tough task, for you and for me. But let's all start from the basics(which is hard). Let's eat healthier food than fast foods. I know that fast foods are most tastier, and come out faster. But it can change your whole body, and your future.
This is an address for Jamie Oliver's food revolution;
And today, I want to talk about a song--"Gang-Nam Style".
Korean singer, "PSY" is now world famous, because of his song--"Gang-Nam Style". This song hit the YouTube by more than 120 million watchers in a month.
PSY is now with a music company of "Justin Bieber". I think his "Gang-Nam Style" will be more popular than it had been. I'm really looking forward to see PSY, with his new songs with his new music company.
Hi, it's me Maya. And I have some fantastic news! As you know. the rover, curiosity has landed on Mars! It's kind of late, but still, I'm so happy about it!
Once upon a time, some scientists were doing experiments on apes. But the experiment failed, and the ape was turned into a gigantic moster, King-kong. And the DNA was left in the experiment room.
Many year passed, and the experiment room was deserted. But King Kong was no where to be seen. And one day, a cute, and small girl called Leslie was exploring the experiment room and the DNA of King-kong got inside her. She was a dual faced which made more affects to KingKong DNA. (Of course, she didn’t realize that she had a King-kong’s DNA inside her body).
Many years passed, and Leslie was same. She became wild and crazy when she was mad ( Like I said, she was a dual faced). But one day, she was crazy as usual. No one didn’t wanted to be with her even though she was pretty. So she was really furious about that, and her personality changed.(As usual). But this time was different, she turned into a King-kong! She climbed up the 63building, and crashed everything! But police caught her, and she was back to human again. But she couldn’t memorize what happened, because of her “daul faced”. So she was in prison not knowing why. But after 3years she was bailed out, and was free. Poor Leslie, she was afraid that people might recognize her, so she went to over seas—to U.S.A, New York. And the obvious thing was that she didn’t became mad or King-Kong in many years. Before that happened. For some reasons, she was angry at herself, and as you might have guessed, she turned into a King-Kong. This time, she climbed “Empire State Building”. People, and tourists were terrified by her entrance! Leslie tried to resist her, but she couldn’t! People didn’t knew it was Leslie. But when she was climbing the tall building, she met another King-kong. Whose name was Jack Smith. He also was a "dual faced". (And he was a human too! He was a very hndsome guy.) When police caught both of them they were separated, and studied their DNA . But some parts of their DNA was same, that shows they got this DNA in the same laboratory.
As for Leslie, her psychologist helped her, that her “typical personality” can be gone, and she would not be a King-kong again.
Jack, and Leslie’s King-kong disappeared, but it’s part of it, there might be some left. And it could be you.
When I run, you run with me. This small world seems so big, and I forgets everything .
To me, your star is much worth, more than a diamond, that you look beautiful than anything in this world. When I’m unhappy, you show a bright moonlight that fills my mind with delight.. And then, my mind glows with gleam that you showed me.
Space, It’s always fun being with you. You showed me the future. And I thank you for being my friend all these years. You were always there when I needed you. You always smiled to me, whether I was angry or not.
When I smile, moon’s crescent smiles back at me. When I look at you, your Mars and Venus look back at me. You are my bridge of light.. You always thrill me with something new every day. Your show is much better than some concerts. I don’t want more. I just want you everyday.
You know I want to go to NASA. And maybe when I get there, I can see you everyday, more often than we used to. I’ll looking forward for that.
And as I said before, thank you for being yourself.
Hi, my name is Maya Lee, and today I want to share about "What adults can learn from kids?" A speech by Adora Svitak.
Adora Svitak is a child prodigy who first published books at the age of 6. Also, she did some many speeches. She is a teacher, speaker, writer, and awesome blogger! But this is the only part of it, because she has many talents. But today, I'm writing an assignment about her TED(Technology Entertainment Design)speech. First of all, I was pretty shocked when I watched her speech. She used some hard vocabularies, and nice topic. But one thing that shocked me even more is--her age. She was only 12 when she did the speech. As you all know, TED is where professionals of professionals talk about their career/life. So it'll be very hard to imagine that a 12 year old girl is standing in the big stage with adults audiences. I think that the adults never thought that, one day a child would go up on the stage, and make a speech about themselves.
< Adora Svitak TED speech>
As you can see on this video, she talked about the "childishness" and how the adults should be like children. She compared the child, and the adults, and how they think differently. Adora advocated a sort of "Kid's RIght's" sentiment, arguing that adults should take young people more seriously and more interested in learning from kids. She says that because kids tend to be less constrained by social norms than adults as we get older, young people can often offer a unique and perhaps more creative life.
I agree with Adora. Most of my friends talk like adults, dress like adults, and think like adults. It's kind of annoying talking to them. They don't understand what I'm saying, and as a matter of fact, I can't understand what they are saying.
Also, adults want everything to be perfect. They want everything to be good to them. They want better and better and better. Isn't that the reason why they had wars? Isn't that why the adults think only about themselves?
Space is my dream, and I always think about Space. One day, I was thinking about the aliens of Mars. When I asked my friends for their opinions. But all they said was-- "There are no aliens. If you want to go to NASA, think more scientifically!"
I was surprised then, but now I think that people's mind should be independent like a child. A child thinks freely like a wide open space, but grown-ups thinks only in a notion. So, I think that's a problem that we are having today.
We children is the leader of tomorrow. We are the one who will lead the future. But if we learn some of those from the adults, this world will never be in peace. So, grown-ups should learn these from the children, and lead this world until our generation comes.

Hi, my name is Maya Lee. And today, I ‘m
going to write an assignment about Joseph Kony, and my opinions about making
him famous.
Okay, you may know Joseph Kony, or you may
not. So I’ll explain about Joseph Kony.
Joseph Kony is the head of the Lord’s
Resistance Army(LRA). An Ugandan guerrilla group. Kony has been accused by
government entities of ordering the abduction of children to become child-sex
slaves, and child soldiers. An estimated 66,000 children became soldiers and
two million people have been internally displaced since 1986.(Source:Wikipedia).
The film—“kony2012” is made by Jason
Russell. Director and founder of some site called—“Invisible children”.
Mr.Russell promised young boy named Jacob Acaye.(Who was kidnapped by LRA)that
he will do everything to “stop Kony”. But sadly, many people don’t know about
Kony, which I think we should make him more famous that people will be
interested in.
Now,
I want to share my opinions about this video. I think that making him famous is
a very good idea. This famous depends on “the purpose of this video”. And there’s
only one answer—For the Ugandan children who is suffering much pain right now.
Some people say that this video is for the resources etc.etc. But we saw the
video, and we saw the promise of Mr. Russell. Ugandan children is sacred of
what will happen next. And I think we should do whatever it takes to save them
from Kony. For that, making him famous is a right way to do it. When there’s
something famous, people watch more and more and more. Then, they begins to
feel excitements. And in this Kony situation, they becomes furious about Kony,
That they join the campaign.
Also, the best part of Invisible children’s
video was the building schools and creating jobs platform. Teach the Ugandan
children about peace and give them the tools to fight fair for democratic
nation. Mostly located in another nations. They don’t belong where they’re
supposed to belong. They’re holding guns instead of books.
But
there are some people who disagree with the video—“Kony 2012”. But they’re just
disagreeing because they’re afraid of what the LRA will do. They think that
they will be more powerful when they’re out of the hiding place. But, your word
can be more powerful than guns. Their army is much smaller than ours. The whole
world became one. And the Ugandan children is depending on us. So, let’s join
this campaign that will change this world.
So I
think that making famous is a good idea. Ugandan children is waiting for your
help, This campaign is not for us, it’s for the Ugandan children. And I think
we should keep doing it, for the Ugandan children, and for the world.
Hi! My name is Maya Lee, and I welcome you to my new blog I'd like to call--'Little Einstein's stories'.
Today, I would like to share "The three things that I know to be true". I finally chose the best three things that I want to share with you guys.
Space fascinates me. When I was little, I found nothing interesting. It was just some same old darkness, with same old stars. And it was common to see bright stars then, so it wasn't exciting. But now, when I look at the Space, it's so cool, and so amazing! Also, my future dream is to become an astrophysicist of NASA. And of course! I'm very fascinated in Black holes, and Mars. My friends say I'm crazy. They thinks that Space is just some boring thing. In fact, they thinks that watching some television show is much better. But, I say different! Turn off some television show, just for a day/week. And then, watch the stars of the Space. Maybe next time, you can join me watching some stars.
Second, traveling thrills me. I like to travel and learn some new cultures about other countries. I've been to Germany, Switzerland, Japan, China, Austria, and etc.etc. But, I've never been to U.S.A, that U.S.A is the only country that I want to travel. I really hope that I'll be able to travel U.S.A very soon.
And lastly, learning some new languages excites me. I'm learning some Japanese now, and it's so fun! It's fun like learning English.
I think I like to learn some new languages, because I'm just excited and happy for just speaking other countries' words. Maybe that's why I joined the 'GLPS' camp.
This was my 'three things that I know to be true'. Maybe, you guys can share some of your 'three things that you know to be true.' I'm really looking forward to see your stories. Oh! and don't forget to leave some comments!
