I find that out door decorations are very important because it shows how much you like Christmas and it makes people feel happy and joyful and happy memories of when they were young.

Me, I decorated my whole house with lights and big ornaments like a big reindeer with full of lights attached on it and I also have a big Santa with more lights then the reindeer and it glows in the dark. Me and my dad usually put up the Christmas lights . We put them in the mid November because it’s hot and you won’t freeze your hands and it’s safer because it’s still dry .

One sort of lights I have are round balls that you put on the tree and a net with lights on and you put that on a bush or a round tree .I also have long ribbons of lights

My favorite show on T.V is Myth Busters because they test all sorts of things like the myth that your car is under water and if you try to escape you won’t be able to open the door until  the car is fully under water. That’s only one of the myths they do .  I would say that most of the myths they they test get busted. That means that maybe 70% of the time the myths they do get busted .

I love the show because they create all sort of weird things like duck tap canon and once they put 5 sorts of cheese in a canon and they were experimenting  if cheese could go through a ship sail . The most resistant cheese . If I remember was the blue cheese . It went fight through

But the reason I like the show is because of  the action. Their is about 80 % of explosions in the show.  

I also really like Adam and Jamie because their so funny by the way they act and some  times they get hurt really badly by doing somethings stupid or funny, but it’s part of their gob to get hurt and entertain .

I would say that my favorite sport is soccer because I like to run around and play with a soccer ball.

I like soccer because it’s a good sport to play because you can run and you can trick some on by doing a move that tricks them to go one way and you go the other way to pass him and SCORE!!!!!!!!!  I play in a team and I love to play with my team I would say that im really good but not the best I was the best in my team last year and scored about 12 goals in one match.in the Holl season I scored about 40 or more goals . In my season I learned alot about soccer like how to be a team leader and participate . I also learned alot of tricks to trick some one and pass him and some other tricks that I almost never use in a mach but it makes us practice our control with the ball. When next year I want to go to Heritage and sign up for Sport Excellence and be one of the 32 persons that make it.

The first time I played soccer was when I was about 5 and that was when I scored my first goal .after the game me and all my friends on the team went to Tim Hortons and got a donut.

That’s my favorite sport.Hope I will know your favorite sport one day.   bye.

In my family it’s my uncle that goes hunting deer and geese . He hunts with a rifle and a cross bow. He prefers to hunt with his cross bow because he finds more of a challenge.

I find his cross bow cool because of the way the colors are formed and the way it was built .

His rifle, I like because you can kill from further away and he hunts with black powder. I hope one day I will be able to go hunting with him. One day after he had finished hunting for the weekend he said that he had killed the biggest deer of the week and he gave some of the deer meat to me and that was the first time I ate deer meat.

When I get older I would like to fly RC planes because I really like to go on planes. It gives me adrenaline and it looks really fun and every time I go on a plane I love the sensation when we leave the ground and when we land. My favorite time to land is in the night because of all the lights in the street and the big lights on the runway. I also like it when we are in a storm and when there is a lot of wind and the plane shakes. What I find interesting about a plane is how it’s built because an RC plane weights about………..and it’s able to lift  of the ground. And the way it can go to places really really fast because count how many hours it would take a car and drive it to Brazil, it would take for ever but with a plane it’s a lot faster   picture of an RC plane.

I’ve been listening to the news about the miners in Chili . I don’t know if you heard about the miners but this is a summary of the story.

Well it started with an earth quake and their were miners working under ground. Most of the miners got out in time but 33 miners got stuck in like a small chamber with a small tube so they get air and can communicate with could also get food but they can’t eat too much or else they won’t be able to get out by the tube if they can because they won’t fit. The people thought they were going to be stuck under there until Christmas.

Months later they were stuck under ground found a way to get down and get them out.

The way the tube thing works is that they put a metal tube where the miners could breath from and they installed a pulley system to bring up the cabin up to the surface.

When the first miner came up I was nervous because I was wondering what they looked like if they were hurt or if they were no hurt.I was also wondering how the system they invented worked.

If I were under there I would be scared I would also be wondering if I could get out and when . I think it was tight because they are 70 feet down and I would feel trapped .I would probably talk about my family and friends because it would bring back memories from times that I had fun .I would also probably also talk about food and how my mom’s food is good . I would be wondering if i would every eat at sub way again.  I would also talk about my bed because it must feel bad to sleep on rock and mud I think it must of been hard to breath because it’s a bit like getting stuck in an avalanche but you have more space to move and a holl for you to get air from up the hole was not really big.

I would be  nervous to get out because I would want to see my family and friends. Especially light because I’ve been underground for ………. and I never saw light from the sun. The first thing I would do when I get out is to stretch and run to feel the fresh air.  I would also call and  go visit my family and friends.

One day I went to the Ultramar to buy chocolate for my friends and I . When I got there their were no more chcocolate bars but there was a big sign that said “buy for a dollar ” so I asked Tom the person that worked there do you have any of those frogs because I want to buy them. He said their right there. So I ran there and got a package of them. they were like in a small box that was black and it said “jelly frogs” so I bought them. I had to hurry up because my friends were waiting for me to come back.

When I got back my friends all screamed chocolate , but when they got the bad news they all screamed NO !!!!!!!!!!!! When I told them the good news they screamed again YES HIP HIP HIP HURRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they all wanted one so I gave them out and I named them buy their blog names.

One of my favorite game to play is Nerf . If you don’t know what Nerfs are here’s a picture of a Nerf.

It’s like a gun that shoots plastic bullits that can’t hurt you except if you aim in the eyes. I find it a lot of fun because we can play with our friends and family. We could even play at one hundred people because it’s a game of who lasts the longest without getting shot.

What’s fun with nerfs is that you can play more than one sort of game with your gun. One example of another game is capture the flag you have 2 or more teams and you have to try to capture your opponents flag. Another game is that you play in the dark and try not to get spotted by the other team and capture there flag, but you don’t have a gun so you only have a flash light to see but if the other team spots your light, your dead meat because they found you.

Another game is you make a base and you try to defend your team because the other team is trying to attack you/ It’s a bit like dodge ball. If you don’t like to play with the Nerf gun and just want to collect them well you can upgrade them at a shop, you can also buy Nerf swords and Nerf soccer balls and football balls etc.

If you have read my other post you should know that my favorite sport is soccer and why. Other sports I like are snowboarding because you can do jumps and stunts with your snowboard.  I like to snowboard because you can go really fast and it’s a lots of fun .  I also like it when I go down the hill at full speed and I could feel the wind blowing in my face and the bumps on the hill.  I like it also because it’s more of a challenge than to ski .The first time I tried to ski I was like a professional but the first time I tried snowboarding , 2 weeks after my butt was still hurting .

Another sport I like is hockey because I like when you can go really fast on your skates and you can play with your puck. I also like it because of you can slam the other team. .I like it because when I get on the ice I feel like I’m the king of the world I don’t know why but that’s how I feel. I mostly like to play with my friends because we have fun and I don’t feel pressured.  I would like to play in a team but my mom and dad don’t feel like getting up early in the morning and I under stand. I also have a lot more sports that I like . I would like to know if you have sports you like?                    bye

The first time I saw the cover of the Ghost Train I thought was that it would be a sad story because of the dark gray colors in the back ground and that little girl with only one arm.  At the same time it felt like a slow and creepy story because of the way the title is spelled .

As I was looking thought the pictures I saw that she seemed to be happy because of the bright colors on the big mat and the pictures she colored with her right arm were really nice another reason I thought she was happy is because her paintings are all happy things liek birds animals etc… her mat also had small bleu flowers .

The next picture Isaw i felt like if she got abandoned by her parents because all the colors faded and it became all dark and halloween type dark and she seemed to be worried and sad.

After I saw that she was looking at a big steam train passing by as soon as  i saw that picture I said she must be going away from there family   because the places looked sad and the  felt like there was no  action what so ever.

The next picture it seem like the train was coming out and trying to grab Choon- yi. There was like 3 burning sticks and the smock that it made mixed with the smock from the train. This is my favourite because of the details on the train and the mountains in the back ground are very realistic in a way. In the back ground it seemed that it was hanged on an old wooden wall.

The next picture I saw was a bit weird at first because there was a lot of people. Most of them were old and seemed poor. It didn’t look real because there was a old girls head floating and some people are like torn in half.  When I looked closer I saw that they were building a railroad and some men were lifting big logs and playing them on the rail it looked hard because the logs looked very heavy and the men looked tired.I could see Choon-yi and i think her father looking at them from a window because I could see her reflection on the window. I think she was is the train when she saw them.

So when I started to read the story I found out that Choon-yi is very poor and  she has no sister or brothers she has a mom and dad that loves her a lot. Dhe only has one arm but her arm had has a talent. It’s to draw pictures of things like plants and amimals etc…..sens Choon yi was very poor they coulden’t a ford land or food because of tax to get money she drawed peoples faces to get a small amount of money but it wasn’t enough to pay anything. One day her dad travelled to North America to help build a railway.so week after week Choon yi dad shiped money to Choon-yi.one day Choon-yi dad shipped a bigger amount of money and a not that said h”Coon-yi, my daughter come quick! bring your ink brushes and your colors and bring a roll of the finest paper you can find”  So she went to North America.

When see reached North America she ran to the company building to ask where her her father was working. The man how worked there said “he’s died”.

I think Choon-Yi’s biggest challenge is to be able to continue to live without stopping and being afraid to continue because of her father’s death. anotehr challenge that she faces is when she tried to solve her dad’s problem. The problem started when she had a draem that her dad asked her to “paint the fire car and put it on the train tracks and light 3 big sticks of incense and plant them firmley then run back”.

When she had finishe dpainting the fir car she did what her father said.

If I would be Choon-Yi I would have done what she did because it was only a draem and I don’t really believe in dreams like nightmares don’t really bother me becuase I know there not real.

My personal connection to the story is that my grandpa already helped build a railroad. When my grandpa told me about it he said that it was very, very hard buth they didn’t use any explosives the time he was there. He was there only a month or so.

in the next picture it seemed like the train was coming out of the picture like it was going to grab Choon-yi.  at the side of the picture there like wooden stickes burrnig slolly i find it gos a lot with the picture because at the same time the train makes a lot of smock coming out from
