        This was suppose to be published on Januray, because I never got a chance to do ti. Well, this entry was supposed to be about Bullying. On wenesday, we had a workshop come to our school to tell us about bullying. Each class had to go to a workshop to learn what bullying is. My first one was about D.Y.A. It stood for Department Of Youth Affairs. Ther was another visitor who came to our school. (I forgot her name, but she was mean) She was an officer who told us about D.Y.A. If we were under arest, we would stay in the cage until age 21! We had another visitor come. (I also didn’t get his name) He also explained about Juvie or jail. I might add, after each sentence he said he would make a wierd small noise.

          The next workshop was Types of bullying. She showed us a list of catigories each species of bullying. I volunteired to do a skid play. It was enberasing.

           The next workshop was at the end of the day. The Peer Mediation also did a skid. At the end, Nathaniel Sang a song about Bullying, Uniform violations and Skipping. We gave a round of applause for him.  After the bell rang, we started to leave in an orderly fashioned way.  

   I have to do a assignment talking about some historical person and have to find 10 websites that show information. So, I chose Abraham Lincoln.Abraham Lincoln was the tallest president ever.  He was the 16th presidnet of the United States. Everyone liked eccept the outlaws like John Wilks Booth. Abraham died in a theatre with a bullet in his head.

             I found 10 websites about Abraham. These websites give you information about Abe Lincoln in his yboy hood. In his presidenty. In his death. I hope you like it bloggers. If you don’t like it, please leave a bad comment. Just kidding.

             We were working on Washington as our theme assignment. Reuben, Jomarih and me made a chart with a graph that showed the prices of tickets. Our theme parks were Wild Waves, Great Wolf Lodge, Riverfront Park, and Fun Forest.  Tickets for WIld Waves for adults were    , Children costed      , and a family of four costed     . Tickets for Great Wolf Lodge for adults were     , Children costed      , and a family of four costed      . Tickets for Riverfront Park for adults were        , Children costed       , and a family of four costed       . Tickets for Fun Forest Park for adults costed     , Children costed      , and a family of four was         .

                        We chose Wild Waves as our favorite park. It had a low pprice of a family of four. I would want to go there, but I would need $1260 to go there. Also, it is a water park so it would be more fun to go there.

Here are some photo tips.Red-eye is an effect caused by an electronic flash reflecting off the human eye.Most pro photographers to use a braket to hold on to the external flash unit above and of the side of the lens to eliminate red-eye. If you are focusing on a object that has a blury(shaky) background, you can hold the shutter button halfway to make it Autofocus. This prevents you from making blury pictures. To make up-close pictures you could use Macro. To use it, click on the tulip sign on your camera(It looks like a flower). Take the photo and you have an up-close picture. Aspect ratio is to make horizontal to vertical demension of an image. This tells you the height and width of the image. Depht of field is concentrating on one object of photo but not concentrating on the backgrond. That is a shallow depht of field. To make it large, try to focus on everything.

When there is less light in your photo, it is called Backlit. This bring less light in dark areas of the photo. Use Fill Flash to eliminate backlit. Pixelization makes “jaggies” to an upclose picture. Usually crooked shapes. A card reader is a device that inserts flashmemory cards and transfers photo data to your computer. Then you could upload a picture to your computer screen. S D cards(Secure Didgital cards) is another type of flashmemory card used in digital cameras and MP3 players. It holds protected data like songs. Fill Flash is to lighten up dark areas at a place. It is usually used in the night time or at a club with a little light. This brightens up objects or loved ones.

             I chose my survey questions so I can get to know everybody in G.A.T.E tech. My firt question was ‘ What is your favorite resturaunt?’. I chose that question because I  like to eat at many varieties of resturaunts. I really have a big appatite. The choices were: 1) Mcdonald’s 2) Wendy’s 3: Burger King and other. I had 19 % on Mcdonalds. 17 % on Wendys. 3 % on Burger King and 61 % on other places. My second question was ‘What was your favorite color?’.  I also have a favorite color like everybody else does. My favorite color was RED. The choices for the colors were 1) Red  2) Green 3) Yellow and other. I chose the Bob Marley colors because I also like Reggie music. 19 % on Red. 17 % on Green. 0 % on Yellow, and 63 % on other. The last question was ‘Do you have a goal?’. This question is an important question. I said yes I have a goal. 64 % said yes. 8 % said no. 28 % said maybe. 

         The most favorite survey that I had anwser was Robyn’s Blog. Her answer sheet was funny. I liked her third question. Her question was ‘What was your favorite food?’. One of her selections were wires. At first I thougt that was weird. Another one I liked was orange(the color). I was laughing at that selection. I also was looking through her blog and it had a fun game. It was called ‘Penguin Dash’. It is a little like Diner Dash, but in Penguin style food.    

     One of the greatest activities we’ve done at Untalan was the Holloween School Spirit Week.  Monday’s activity was Odd ball day. That was a “weird” dress down day. Some students I observed were wearing inside-out shirts or different colored socks. My father tried to get me to wear my pants inside-out, but I disagreed.  Instead, I wore different bracelets, one high sock and one low sock, one rolled up sleeve, and an inside-out shirt.

     Sports Tuesday was when we wore a football jersey. I wore the Raiders uniform. Others were wearing the Crusaders, the Lakers, the Wildcats basketball jersey and many more. Some students wore their gear with the jersey. That almost freaked me out as if they were prepared to tackle me.

     And Wednesday was parent teacher confrence. Students did not have classes but parents had to come over and see how well their child was doing in school. My father had most of his students’ parents come by and be astonished at their childs grade.  He was so busy, I faild to pry him away to meet with my teachers.

     Another day we enjoyed was back in the day. We wore clothing from the 80’s and the 90’s. I spiked my hair back looking like Danny, from Grease(even though that was from the 70’s).  I looked at a few people and saw them wearing jackets and boots made from leather.  Alot of students had not dressed for the day’s theme.  Instead they wore their school uniform.

     We had a school dance for Holloween Friday. We danced and listened to some songs like the cupid shuffle. Our schedule was messed up for the dance activity but we had a chance to wear a costume (without the mask). I spend two dollars on a boring school dance that I went to.  Finally, topping off a wacky week of fun, we ended Friday by beginning a much needed four day weekend to eat candy on our beds untill we had our stomachs beloated.

   On October 24, 2008, My cat named Smokey died.  It was the saddest day of my life. We had that cat before I was born.  Smokey would have been 15 human years old which is 105 cat years.   Well here is the story.  After I’ve took a shower I was asking my dad,”Where is Smokey ?”  He said to check in the living room.

    I had searched everywhere in the apartment living room.  I found her lying behind a trash bag filled with Allumium cans.  I looked at her and she was a little bit dirty.  I took a closer look at her mouth, it looked like red blood, but I had no idea what it was.   I called my dad and told him, ”I found the cat!” My dad walked over to me and Smokey. He noticed the red stuff on the floor and on the cat’s mouth. He said that she was coughing up blood, she’s dying!

    I gasped at what he said, but he said that the night before, so how can have the same expresion now? Maybe I had forgot in my sleep. So, dad picked her up and took her to the bathroom sink. I saw ants crawling on her fur. I told my dad to washed the ants of. It was a refreshing bath for Smokey. As all the ants  were washed off, dad started to tell that she was really a great cat. He turned off the fosset water. We both petted Smokey on the head.

    Probably like 10 minutes past, thats when he settled Smokey in a nice, fluffy towel. She was gasping for air each time and then another(almost campared to a hiccup) ended her life.  Dad washed his hands while I stared at Smokey. My dad told me to wash my hands real good for all that petting. Dad disapered into the other room. He came back with a shoe box big enough to fit Smokey. He told me to get my stuff and get in the car.

    I was running to get my math book and cross-country clothes(for the school picture) and walked hopelessly down stairs. I waited at the car for a long time, so I went BACK upstairs to see what was taking so long. I reached to our front door and saw dad cavering the box with plastic bags. It was probably the 8th layer of covering he shoe box. I sat on the arm of the couch watching him. Suddenly, his sports stop watch fell on the floor.

    He caugth me. My dad said something about watching Smokey die and all about the last breath  and other stuff like that. I asked what was taking so long.( well I now know why) He brought the box with the cat inside. I wanted to carry the box, but as  I touched he asked, “So where are we going to bury her?” I thought what we should use is a shovel.  Dad was also asking about the shovel.  I was talking about my moms shovel.

    We brainstormed for a while. I asked him, ”How about the back?” He probably wondered where in the back yard.  So he bought the idea.  I carryed the cat down the back.  Dad found a place for the burrial.  He found a place where tree wood was chopped.  He moved a few pieces of wood and placed Smokey between them.  He said to get in the car.  I asked him about smokey. he said to leave her there untill this afternoon.  Then we went to 76 Circle K for a drink to stop my crying before going to school.   

Roaches             My most memoriable birthday was on October 26, 2006. I was becomming 9 years old and was still in elementary. My dad said that my birthday party would be at my school, Tamuning Elmentary. I became excited and joyful. I went to school and told my classmates the day was my specail day ( birthday ).  “Happy birhtday to you,” some people in my class said. My homeroom class sang happy birthday to me. I felt embarrased and surprised. I the day passed on til the end of our math class. My homeroom teacher A.K.A math teacher told the class after lunch, my birthday party will be held here, in the class, after lunch. MY teacher, mrs. Saguid took us to lunch. I think it was beef stew. (I hated beef stew so much stew) EEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now that was really gross.

                    This is the second part of the story. After lunch I went to RM: A12 to wait for the party to start. A few of my classmates came to wait too. I think like 30 minutes past and the whole class waited. We peaked through the window. What I saw was my dad helping my teacher with the cake and plates. It got boring watching so I plyed with my friends tech deck. I lost playing S.K.A.T.E  Then the teacher let us in. We had cake and drinks. That was the most greatest 3rd gade ever!
