A couple years ago I spent New Years in LA with my mom's side of the family. There we watched that Japanese Red and White Festival show and ate a lot of good food. It was pretty cold there. A lot colder than Hawaii. During that evening, we did not have many fireworks to play with outside. We only had lame ones like sparklers or these small guns that shot out confetti. The guns we shot when it was midnight represent something we learned in physics. Newton's third law says that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The confetti that comes out of the gun pushes back from the gun and the gun pushes the confetti out of the gun when the trigger is pulled. The confetti that flies out of the gun falls in a projectile motion. That New Year's Eve was the quietest one I ever had. Usually at my aunty's house we have those big long firecracker chains (I don't know what they are called) and a lot of other ones. They make a lot of noise and are super smokey.
Today I was thinking about what I was going to do this summer even though it is very far away from now. I usually go to LA to visit my mom's side of the family. However, this year I am not sure that I will be able to see them for very long since I am graduating this year. I will probably want to spend time with my friends till we have to leave for our different colleges. Last summer in LA my family celebrated my mom's and my cousin Steven's birthday. I was looking at the pictures of summer and saw the cake my aunty made for them. The candles on the delicious strawberry cake reminded me of electric fields which we learned about in physics. Electric fields are forces you cannot see and they have no boundaries. The closer you are to it the stronger it is and the further away you are from it the weaker it is. The heat surrounding the fire on the candle grows stronger when you get close to it and weaker when you get further from it. I wish I could eat this cake now...T__T.
