每個人對「成功」的定義都不同，但若是只以財富多寡，事業地位高低來定義「成功」，就會忽視了其他生命中更具價值但無法衡量的瑰寶。

暢銷書作者、醫生、自我實現家、環保工作者李偉文醫師將在 11月21號和LaJaJa Kids的父母們細談他對「成功」的定義。擁有一個美滿家庭的他，將會和我們大家分享一些簡單又容易實踐的方法，讓幸福成為親子和家人之間一種持續的感覺。11月21號 星期六晚上 7點 (PST), 我們ㄚㄚ園地Facebook Live見!

這幾年電子煙迅速流行，每五個中學生就有一位抽電子煙。什麼是電子煙？電子煙到底對身體有什麼影響？為什麼它這麼吸引青少年？即使你的孩子不抽電子菸,做父母的我們對電子菸的了解也是非常必須的。電子菸頻向青少年招手,父母準備好了嗎?

丫ㄚ園地特別邀請我們的好朋友Irene 和她的孩子Dimitri Lin，一位積極參與電子煙防制活動的高中生，以其觀察與研究的經驗，來跟華人家長談談這個大家並不熟悉的問題。 Dimitri 在高中階段ㄧ直在學校及社區做電子煙的教育防制活動，在2019年發起禁電子煙廣告petition, 在短短三週就獲得三萬人的簽署，他也與參眾議員開會討論青少年的電子煙議題，目前積極參與美國癌症協會的活動。

以下是Irene 為此活動的介紹, 邀請您來聽聽我們的討論:

青少年電子煙的使用人口雖在2020年，因為疫情必需多待在家中的情形下，有下降的趨勢。但CDC 2020調查的結果，12-18歲每五名中學生仍就有一位有抽電子煙，全美國有三百萬的中學生是電子煙的使用者，其中不乏12歲就開始使用電子煙的孩子。

我的孩子Dimitri Lin在2018年就開始宣導電子煙的防制問題，雖然他的學校學生使用電子煙的問題不算太嚴重（有南加的高中把男生廁所的門都拆了，就是要預防學生在廁所抽電子煙），但學校蠻重視這問題，常常不定時的抽查學生身上是否有電子煙。在Dimitri不斷跟校長溝通的情況下，校長讓他跟家長面對面報告了電子煙的問題和電子煙的種類，與會家長都跟我說他們開了眼界，學到了很多東西。

Dimitri發現電子煙的氾濫是跟煙商廣告行銷有很大的關係，所以他在去年提出修改法案的提案，希望把電子煙廣告跟香菸一起規範，獲得廣大的迴響。在這過程中，我看著他跟我們城市的警局警察聯絡，希望能研究出電子煙宣導方案；寫了許多電子郵件給相關人員及機構（多數沒有回應）；跟市議員、參議員、眾議員聯絡，準備資料，克服膽卻跟些「大人」開會。看到抽電子煙的同學，他也嘗試勸阻宣導他們。雖然他在這個過程中碰了很多釘子，本來眾議員承諾讓他參與的許多宣導活動也因疫情而取消，Dimitri 還是盡他小小的一己之力，宣導防制電子煙的問題，沒有放棄。目前希望跟美國癌症協會合作，看是否能夠促進修法。做媽媽的看到他一路走來，雖然有點挫折，但也學到成長很多，默默感到欣慰。

十月最後一週是傳統的紅絲帶週，一般來說是學校宣導煙、酒的防制問題的時刻。現在遠距教學，謝謝La Jajakids 給Dimitri一個機會，讓他在這個時機跟華人家長談談電子煙的問題，例如孩子房間中有那些可疑的東西，電子煙的種類、相關物品有那些，畢竟孩子們總有一天會返回校園，電子煙的始用屆時可能又會流行。一般華人家長對這個議題不大了解，假如想要有多一些了解，請聽聽我們的討論，Dimitri將用中文來跟大家講解電子煙這個議題，歡迎十月二十四日參入我們的討論!

The Inferno

By Shawn Lo

“Are we almost there?” I whined.
“Not quite, but almost” my mom responded with annoyance because I had been asking the same question over and over.

My family and I were continuing a road trip from Bend, Oregon, to San Francisco. The date was August 19, 2020, and California Wildfires have raged across the north. Our road trip took us to the wrong place at the wrong time. The potent odor had somehow managed to sneak into our car, reeking the air of ash and haze, yet we still drove on down the perilous road. Ochre black smog clouded everywhere around us and the windows of our car. The scenery was a writhing and eerie atmosphere where no sound was heard, with the exception of the scarlet inferno’s cackle as it devoured trees in a matter of minutes just on the right side of Interstate 80 between UC Davis and San Francisco.

I fumbled nervously with my hands as I watched the flying countryside in the car..
“Are we going to make it?" I asked. “What if we run out of gas and get stuck on the highway?”
“The fire is too far away, and it won’t be able to reach us," my dad responded, reassuring us. “We have food, water, gas, and as long as we stay inside, we would be safe."
“I guess we will be okay," I thought reluctantly. However, given the unlikely chance of our car bursting into flames, I still pondered about the possibility that our car could abruptly stop, and we’d be stuck on the road with nowhere to stay and nowhere to go. I’ve never really deliberated over what to do in an emergency like such.

Like an ambulance siren, our phones gave out the strident cacophony of an amber alert.
“BEEP, BEEP!"
Given that there was a seat belt over my chest, the sound had startled me quite much that I had almost fallen out of my seat.
“BEEP, BEEP!" the siren wailed once again.

The inferno looked as if a monster was stretching its hands to grasp a few cars and to drag them to the woods never to return. This monster was a beast whose embers could set cars into flames in a single moment.

As we continued to drive on in the chain of cars, it started to turn into heavy traffic, with bumpers side-by-side and honking ringing in the air around. The lines of vehicles were tangled chaotically with motors growling. “BEEP, BEEP!" my phone wailed. The continuous warnings of amber alerts made adrenaline go through me, yet I remained calm.
“I think we should find a hotel tonight," my dad finally declared as the traffic made cars utterly stop.
“We are almost there." my mom prompted. “If we just try to take a different route, we can make it to San Francisco."
“I think we should go for it," I suggested. “I don’t think the fire is too near us."
Though I did quite fear the rising inferno, I didn’t want to be stuck wherever we were. I might have been more concerned about staying in the last room of an inn than the fire itself. Suddenly I hear sirens and the shouting of police officers. Cars were then turning to the nearest exit, and at that moment, I realized that the roads had closed.
“Everyone turns to the exit on the right." police officers directed firmly. “This road leads straight into the fire."
Some drivers retaliated with yelling and shouting despite the direct order of the officers.
“BEEP, BEEP!" the amber alert wailed once again. It seems that the warnings were as clear as ever, and it appeared the alerts became louder and the fires seemed closer.
“SCREECH" a car squealed as it cut in front of us, almost hitting us.
My dad steered his wheel quickly towards the exit as more cars soon followed, bumping each other like a game of pinball. He then proceeded to park the car in a nearby gas station.
“I think we should stay at a hotel." my brother proposed.
I gagged at the thought of staying in a random motel inn at a gas station stop.
“That’s probably the best option," my mom responded as she started scrolling through hotel rooms on her phone.
Looking at her screen, hotel rooms started to book in seconds in the area where we were. The big red words of Sold Out started to pop up on the Expedia website simultaneously.
After my mom had scrolled through almost every hotel near us, we could get one room with ONE queen-sized bed an hour away from where we were.
“Maybe when we get there, we can ask the front desk to switch to a different room with two beds." my dad suggested.
After getting there, I could spot one family sleeping in the car parked at an IHOP next to our hotel.
Confronting the front desk in hopes of switching rooms, we were met with these exact words from the stern-looking older woman behind the counter.
“Ma’m, you just took the last room."
“Thank god we were prepared and acted fast," I thought to myself in relief.
My dad slept on the couch, while everyone else squeezed onto the bed horizontally (I slept on the very end). I could have kissed the floor of the Marriott Courtyard hotel. I couldn’t imagine sleeping in the parking lot of an IHOP.

With the passage of 2019, the decade has now come to a close giving rise to year 2020, and our entry into a new decade. To begin this new year, the  annual Roses Parade leads us into this next decade with the parade theme “THE POWER OF HOPE”. This theme is meant to communicate that what is wanted can be attained. (tournamentofroses.com)

This year is the 131st running of the parade. On New Year’s Eve LajajaKids junior journalists visited 5 floats: Amazon Studios , Blue Diamond Almonds, China Airlines, Honda, and Pasadena Celebrates 2020.We also met and spoke with float designer John Ramirez his daughter Sofia Ramirez, and various float performers. In the course of our interview with John Ramirez, we learned several interesting facts.  John is the float designer for Artistic Entertainment Services and he designed the Rose Parade float for China Airlines. This year the float includes elements from Taiwan. China Airlines officials approached John and told him they would like to have a music box as part of the float. Immediately he knew what they were referring to because in his past travels to Taiwan he saw that music boxes were a significant part of the society in that they were in airports, malls, and various public areas. The float include a toy plane with the China Airlines logo on it, and food from Taiwan, lanterns, and at the center of the float is the Taipei 101 building. These are things that not only Taiwanese people would recognise, but also people from around the world.

 Later on one more float was being brought out but we had already left by the time it came out of the assembly area.The day was exciting and informative. We took videos of the different floats and recorded the China Airlines performance.

While there, we had the opportunity to ask float assembly personnel questions about their particular float and what kind of message they’re trying to convey, what type of material and flowers the float is made of, and what is their opinion regarding the floats design.

Being so close to the floats was amazing because you could really see all the fine details and workmanship on the float. It’s hard to tell from a quick glance but if you looked close enough you could see small little things put on the floats that you wouldn’t notice by just glancing through it quickly. It really shows how much effort was put into each and every one of these floats.

If you didn’t get a chance to see the Rose Parade this year, you should definitely go next year because the Rose Parade is a great experience. If given the opportunity to report on the floats again, I definitely would because each year every float is so creatively beautiful and unique the experience would necessarily be new and unique! You can find more about information to see the floats next year  https://tournamentofroses.com/events-calendar/post-parade-a-showcase-of-floats/

The sun was shining, the streets were crowded, and people were snapping away with their cameras. It was the day before the 131st Annual Rose parade! When I first got there, I was amazed! This was my first time attending the Rose Parade on New Year’s Eve! There were humongous floats that were filled with flowers, plants, seeds, nuts, and even fruits! Dozens of volunteers were rushing around carrying trays of flowers and seeds, giving the magnificent floats their finishing touches.

    We then approached the float we were going to see, China Airlines’ float, called “Dreams of flying, wings of hope.” The float consists of many items that showed the characteristics of Taiwan, which included beef noodle soup, mango ice, matcha green tea, Chinese lanterns, and much more. The meaning behind this was explained by the float designer Mr. Ramirez, in which he stated, “ Hopefully these are things that not only Tawainese people will recognize, but people around the world.” What he is trying to explain is that he wants other people to know about Taiwan and it’s customs, rather than just Tawainese people. This float was my personal favorite because it had a lot of things that I recognized and liked, like the beef noodle soup! One thing that I found very interesting was that the floats couldn’t pass a certain height because of underway on the Rose Parade.

   We also cover a couple of other floats other than China Airlines’. One example would be Blue Almonds’ float, called “Almond Breeze, the Best Almonds Make the Best Almond Milk.” The float was covered in blooming almond trees and a huge carton of their famous almond milk. I choose the Blue Almond’s float after China Airlines’ because I thought it was the most detailed out of the rest of the floats. I thought all the pieces of the trees were planned with precision and detail, from the bees, to what type of plants they used for the bark of the tree trunk.

    Going to the Rose Parade was a new and exciting experience for me. I was amazed at all the companies’ creations that were filled with flowers, seeds, nuts, and plants. Being able to see the final preparations of the Rose Parade wowed me. I would want to take part in the Rose Parade again next year!

Today, we went to the Pasadena Rose Parade to see many fascinating floats. This year’s theme is “The Power of Hope" and is also  the 131st tournsment in the Rose parade. This year’s theme brings in the song “Power of Hope". This song is produced and written by the legendary producer and the 19th time GRAMMY award winner, Emilio Estefan. The one and only sultry voiced singer Ally Brooke sang this song. Ally Brooke is from the girl group, Fifth Harmony and most recently a finalist on ABC’s Dancing with the stars.
After months and months of excruciating hard work on making these floats and to get this parade to go through  smoothly, the rose floats is finally taking action in Pasadena for the 2020 Rose Parade. Many of the floats were driven by drivers who navigated where the floats should go by peering through a small hidden window somewhere on the float. People on the floats were waving at us, with full enthusiastic emotions. While the the atmosphere was filled with cheering, buzzing, clapping and other actions of people. The air was really cold, but I guess the excited people that was there seem to not really care because the show was really worth it. 2020 has finally arrived!
In the parade, there was so much to see. There were bands followed by another and another and they were so neat and together that it just looked like one person in my view, color guards followed by the band, groups of horses with individual people on them and they came from all over the nation, and way more. There were many activities going on but in my opinion, I think the most memorable part would probably be the horses the most because besides the fact that all the horses were “dressed up" in many pretty designs, and that they also had mini ponies which were so little, it would probably be as big as a dog, but also partly due to the fact that what they left behind for the cleaners to pick up on the street gave off an unpleasant smell. Rather than that, it was the worth it because the horses and ponies were well trained,  groomed, and well tamed.
Although, the other events were as fascinating as the others, the floats were the focus point of this parade. My favorite float of this parade was the 2020 Royal Court. There were 6 people wearing a brownish golden dress sitting at the edge of the float, waving politely while a “queen" is in the middle wearing a white dress with a crown, sitting in the middle, waving too. The 6 people that were on the side was Cole Fox, Michael Wilkins, Emilie Risha, Reese Rosental Saporito, Rukan Saif, and Mia Thorson. The one and only “queen" that sits in the middle is Rose Queen Camille Kennedy. In my opinion, this is one of the prettiest sights/floats in this parade.
After the fascinating floats, the bands came behind them after them. These are the bands: Aguiluchos Marching Band from Puebla, Mexico/Alhambra Unified School District Marching Band from Alhambra/ Baldwinsville Marching Bees from Baldwinsville, N.Y./ Banda El Salvador: Grande Come Su Gente from Antiguo, Cuscatlan, El Salvador/ Banda Municipal  Zarcero from Zarcero, Alajuela, Costa Rica/ Centenaria Banda Colegial from Mayagüez, Puerto Rico/ Dobyns-Bennet High school Marching Band from Kingsport, Tenn./ Greendale Highschool Marching Band fork Greendale, Wis./ Helsingør Pigegarde (Elsinore Girls Marching Band) from Hornbæk, Denmark/ Japan Honor Green Band from Sakyō-ku, Kyoto, Japan/ Kamehameha Warrior Marching Band and Color Guard from Honolulu, Hawaii/ LAUSD All District High School Honor Band from Los Angeles/ Pasadena City College Tournament of Roses Herald Trumpets from Pasadena/
Pasadena City College Tournament of Roses Honor Band from Pasadena/ Pearland High School Band from Pearland, Texas/ Rancho Verde Crimson Regiment from Moreno Valley/ Southern University Marching Band from Baton Rouge, La./ The PRIDE of Owasso from Owasso, Okla./ Salvation Army Tournament of Roses Band from Long Beach/ United States Marine Corps West Coast Composite Band from San Diego/ West Harrison Hurricane Band from Gulfport, Miss. These bands might have worked really hard to make it perfect.
Wow! There is actually really much to talk about, but if you are coming next year, I shouldn’t spoil much. If you didn’t come this, I highly recommend coming here next year. (Tip if you are coming: you might want to purchase your parking permits beforehand but if you don’t want to do that, you might want to come there earlier so tbag you can get parking spots and to get a a good seat in the parade to get a good view). It is a fun and exciting experience for people all ages. HAPPY NEW YEAR AND HAVE A GOOD 2020(year)!

After months of planning and creating floats, the Rose Parade is finally ready to be seen. Everyone has gathered around Pasadena while they waited for the parade to begin. As the floats passes by, there was always cheering and clapping from the audience. because every individual float features an unique design. Everyone was so excited they didn’t even mind the cold weather. Let’s all welcome 2020!
There was so many highlights through out the parade. First, there were the marching bands, people riding on horses with different outfits, and followed by the beautiful floats from all over the country, such as the football float of the University of Oregon. There were so many things going on, but one of my favorites was the ponies and horses. They are so beautiful and well tamed, and I love the fact that there was a group of people that always cleans after them.
Even though many other things were taking place during the parade, the main focus point was still on the floats. My favorite float was the Hope for the Homeless because it was very colorful and simple. Most importantly it stood for a beautiful cause, it shows the goodness in people and how everyone should care for homeless people.
China airline’s float, Dreams of Flying, Wings of Hope, was another one of my favorites. I like this float because it looks super cute and it includes some of the main contents in Taiwan. For example, it includes a plane that says china airline, dumplings, green tea, and the Taipei 101 building. There are also China airline stewardess stands on the float waving at the crowds.
Ever float is usually followed by a marching band. All of the band sounded great, but the Japan Honor Green Band stood out to me the most. The people danced while playing music, and they’re from all over Japan, so they never had a chance to practice together. That must have been hard and it must have taken a lot of skills. I fancied watching their performance.
The more I thought about the show, the more I appreciate the amount of work, effort, and time these volunteers and workers had put in. This whole event felt like a gigantic family of different cultures gathering together and celebrating the New Year. If you didn’t come to this year’s Rose Parade, I extremely suggest coming to the next year because you will have so much fun. It was a great event, and I enjoyed it a lot. Have a great 2020 year everyone!

After 60 people working 10 hours a day for 10 days, they finally finished a float for the rose parade. These floats are decorated with flowers from all over the world! After all this hard work and all the shipping, the floats are ready to take action in Pasadena! A lot of floats were navigated by someone but some floats weren’t navigated, they were moving by themselves! When the floats came by people everybody started yelling and screaming because they were excited for the other floats. Since the rose parade’s are crowded with people, a lot of people from different cities or even from different countries go there the night before the rose parade. They bring blankets and food because they are staying for the night.
This year’s theme is the power of hope. There was a float from the Shriners Hospital for children.The floats were very pretty! They described a lot about hope, that is why this year’s theme is the power of hope! The floats in the rose parade represents the holiday " New Year’s."  The colors, shapes, and sizes were all different. None of the float were alike because everybody has their own thoughts and imagination. The rose parade showed 39 floats, 20 marching bands,17 equestrian units, 450 horses, and of course the royal court and the 102nd Rose queen, Camille Kennedy!
Although the other events were super good I liked the floats the best! I liked all of them. If I had to choose 1 it would be very hard because I liked all of them. But if I had to it would be the Wizard of Oz from Kaiser Permanete. I like this float the best because it had a lot of decorations and flowers, and I think this float showed a lot of hope in it, because in the movie, Dorothy was sent to another place and had to find the way home. This meant that even if you are lost you can always find a way back to the place you belong.
After the floats pass by, there is usually always a band followed. In my personal opinion, I liked the music the band played because it sounded very on time and good. None of them messed up, because I didn’t see any one mess up. Overall I think the band was pretty good. But sometimes when it was at the band area it started getting crowded and the parade had to stop for like 30 seconds-3 minutes. I would start getting bored. But then when it started to move again, I grew excited again.
This year’s parade was super fun and exciting to watch! I liked everything in the parade especially the floats! If you were able to make a float this year with the theme, " Power of Hope," what type of float would you make? What type of hope would you show to people who need a little happiness and hope in their lives? Encouraging hope/ good hope to help with their problems or bad hope/ giving people hope just to make them a little bit happier but turns out to be something you don’t care about? Think about this, and ask yourself what type of hope should I show others? Good hope or bad hope? Happy 2020, everyone!

          Yay! Are you excited for this new decade, cause I am! I went to the Rose Bowl Parade for the new year which is 2020! We saw a lot of floats, bands, horses, people who danced (mostly with flags), horse carriages, and a few more fascinating things. Personally, my favorites are the floats passing by with pretty flowers on the beautiful masterpiece and the decorated horses that is well groomed and tamed… except when they poop, gross! All the designs were excellent especially the floats and the costumes. There was a lot of hard work on everything this new year. I highly recommend you to go to the rose bowl parade next year if you didn’t this year but most importantly, Happy New Year and stay healthy!
