Babies, be good!!!

Posted by chillygurlz on February 6, 2008

 

Hello all.. I tell u about, since I was a very little kid, I always loved to find cute baby picture books and as I got older and was reading I started to read books about how to take care of babies and read books about babies in general. I love babies in general, I have a good material instinct around babies. When I got older I started babysitting a newborn from my mom’s friend, I was 14 at that time. I also volunteer at a daycare, helping with little babies. Today I still go visit the daycare to see babies whenever I visit nebraska. In high school, I choose to babysit a baby over going to the prom. To me it was more fun to babysit back then. I like babies cuz they are precious, innocent, and have soft skin, small hands, cute little feets. They have a wonderful laugh, they like ppl for who they are, they don’t really judge people. In some ways, they are pretty smart cuties. They have a cute laugh when u tickle them. I always wonder why is it sometimes sad to see them already grown up? I sometimes feel that way with the kid who I babysat 11 yrs ago, I still visit her sometimes when I am in Nebraska. Sometimes I have to remind myself, ok this kid is 11 not a baby anymore. I know we should appreciate them growing up and getting older. My body can’t have a baby because I am missing some hormones for my body. That why when I get to hold someone’s baby, I always appreciate being able to hold a baby for short time and I also go visit the daycare so I can help out with the babies. I do a little poem about baby. To those who are parents or babysitters, You can tell me your funny stories like silly mistakes u made with your baby? Like putting on diapers backwards or forgetting to warm up bottle before feeding the baby or anything like that? Its okay to make silly mistakes with ur baby, that what I learned, making mistakes sometime is what teaches you to not repeat that thing again. I would love to hear ur stories so feel free to leave comments on my vlog… I also have few pictures for you all to see too on my vlog, some is pictures of me and some is the baby, I babysat long time ago. Thank you for watching my vlog.

Summer Jobs for Teens and Interpreters!!!

Posted by chillygurlz on January 29, 2008

 

Hello all… Today topic is “Teenager’s job force and interpreters in jobs”… I will tell you my experience about my jobs during the teens. My first job was babysitting a baby from my mom’s friend at age 14. It was a fun experience for me, I enjoyed babysitting. I have babysat her for about 4 years, I still visit her today too sometimes, she is now about 11. Taking care of babies and kids is my favorite job. Other job I had was also working at a daycare with group of little babies, it was part of summer program with schools. I also loved that job too as well… If I could, I would have gone to college to take courses to work at daycare and maybe be a teacher. But it never happened. College courses would be too hard for me cuz my levels for math and reading are low. Other jobs I had, I used to work with “green team”, where you worked at parks, cleaning, picking up trash, weeding and stuff with group of teens. One time we had to work under a bridge where car traffic was, it had a lot of high grass and stickers and stuff, that was worse thing we had to do. Other job, I worked at molex company, where u assembled little parts for computer and chips. It was a okay job. Here the website to show u what I worked with. http://www.molex.com Also I did not have an interpreter at that job either and that was not good cuz I never really heard anything being said I might needed to hear. I relied on someone telling me whats going on.

About interpreters… In all those jobs, I never did have a interpreter. No, it was not easy at all, but I did my best, of course there were times I did not hear anything I needed to hear what is being said. At job interviews, I did not have a interpreter either but I would inform the boss about me being deaf so the boss is usually nice about making it easier for me to understand and it was just one on one so I was fine. Of course it helped that I was using my hearing aids. When I was younger I used to join educational talent show program for the summer. I did not have any interpreters so half of the times I missed out what was being said. I did have someone who would try help me understand what was being said or I did have note takers once a while. As I gotten older going to that program, I did eventually get a interpreter which was good. So sometimes I for some reason will go to events or some kind of lecture thing, I often forget to request for a interpreter so as a result I can’t really enjoy what going on. Now I am realizing I need to make sure I get an interpreter if I am going to any kind of lecture, my hearing aid is no more longer helping very much since I was teens.

Alright thanks for watching my vlog and feel free to leave any comments, ur experiences working with jobs for teens or about interpreters…

Extra, Extra Deaf News!!!

Posted by chillygurlz on January 18, 2008

 

Welcome to my good morning deaf news… Keep in mind, this is all made up news, it just being funny… So u know, all of the pictures u will see is pictures of me.

Alright I showed a picture of a little girl in the sand, that girl u see, she was the one who discovered a old underground deaf town by just digging around the sand. It was at a lake at Oklahoma state lake. What she saw underground, there were designs that had sign language and a sign that said something like town of the deaf, pop 1800. So was there really a hidden underground town, ruled by deaf people? Makes me wonder? Next picture is a group of the girl who grew up and is with group of her deaf friends. They are at the lake where the hidden town was. So she and her friends got together and went to the lake to find out more about the hidden town. So far since they been checking out the lake and cracking up some ice, they have found old buildings and old cars but no bodies at all. So the deaf people who ruled that town must have packed up and left, but where? So that girl, is hoping that someday someone will show up and tell her the answers, she hopes to know the answers some day. So if there’s someone with answers, VP this number 1-800-deaf-rules…

You see the picture of the girl with a cat? That cat is a genius cat, she is a trained cat for the deaf, u know like those dogs who are trained to be dog for the deaf. This cat will let the girl know if phone rings, alarm going off, someone at the door, or if someone is calling for her. I don’t know how they trained this cat to perform all this stuff for this girl… I am impressed…

Time for the weather news… during the week of Jan 30, 2008, In the north part of America, like Nebraska, New York, Oregon will experience summer like weather, For a week.

Which means all the snow that was up north part of America, will melt. Northeast and Northwest part of US will have temps like 60 degree days and the Midwest part of US will have temps of 75 degrees all week.

For the southern part of US, like southern California, Florida, Texas, they will have a freezing spell (30 degrees) for a week along with Snow, which means San Diego, Los Angeles CA and all over florida will have at least 6 inches of snow.
