For those of us who are of Asian descent, Asian Pacific Heritage Month should remind us how important it is to reflect on our history and to get involved in our community. For others who are of other ethnicities, festivities and events during this month provide opportunities to learn about our history and culture.

A huge event in the NYC area that celebrates our culture is the CAPA Festival. Throughout the day, there will be loads of entertainmentt to highlight Asian Pacific Culture. These things include Martial Arts demonstrations, Arts & Crafts tables, a Children’s Program, a Theme Exhibit, a Performance Stage, a Mini-Film Festival.

There’s going to be drama, dancing, raffle prizes, games & a live band performance. Sounds like a blast for those of you who haven’t already made plans for tommorrow night.

I would 110 percent be there, but my sister’s graduating from UMICH so I’ll be out of state. I will be there in spirit.

Momma Chris loves you JZ!

Taste of Chinatown was a huge success in our community! Although we didn’t participate, our line was literally out the door and spanned all the way out to Green Bo for the entire day!

Saturday was supposed to be my “off day”, but as I passed by, I got sucked into the usual non stop ice cream scooping whirlwind. It just didn’t stop.

That was saturday and today is tuesday at 3:00 am in the morning. For some strange reason, I have the energy to blog after working for almost a week straight. Most of my days are made up of 12-15 hour shifts of standing & scooping.

Do I eat Ice Cream?

People always ask me, “So, do you eat ice cream?” I guess they assume that because I’m around it so much that I must be sick of it. NO WAY!!

I would say that 25% of my daily calories come from ice cream. I love it! I never met an ice cream I didn’t like (although the ice cream from the CICF reigns superb!). My freezer is stocked with the stuff. My dad and my sister love ice cream too, but definitely not as much as me.
