Faith and love can be the greatest cure. That’s the first lesson I learned during Christmas Break. My grandfather is currently in the hospital right now. He has Aspirated Pneumonia. He also has a tracheostomy. Now, for those of you who don’t know what that is, it’s a tube that was inserted into a hole in his throat for breathing. This was done surgically. Also a hole was inserted into a hole in his stomach for feeding. This of course, was done surgically. He was recently transferred from the ICU. The patient in the other room next to him was the man that died on Christmas morning and was pinned between two cars. He had his legs aputated and his stomach scraped for internal burning. My grandfather had two strokes, mild seizures, and a brain aneurysm ( clot in brain). My grandmother, my grandfather’s wife, watches my grandfather from 8 a.m. to 6 or 8p.m.. My uncle, his and her son, watches him from 6 or 8 p.m. to 8 a.m.. One day when my grandfather was in the ICU, my family thought that there was no hope for him. He wasn’t responding, like moving his hands or feet. We decided to ”pull the plug” on Dec.8. On the next day, when we visited him, he opened his eyes out of a coma! We cdalled it off. He is now in roomm 368 of the hospital.
Be responsible, it really does matter. My dad left for London because he is an immigration inspector. He is stationed there for three months and will come back in March. Too bad he si going to miss my birthday, February 7th, 1997. That means I have to do a lot more chores around the house. Such as, throw the trash, wash the dog and dishes, water the garden and take care of my baby cousin. It sounds easy but it’s all hard work when you do it all in one day.

Are your photos always blurry when you take them? Here are some tips to take a great photo with your digital camera! When taking a picture in the daytime and outdoors, make sure you use the fill flash. So when it’s sunny outside, still use the fill flash even though it’s so bright. The flash will brighten all those shadows that tend to be on the face. It will also give them that little sparkle in their eyes that everyone loves. When trying to take those ”magazine” quality close-up pictures, use the the macro feature,which is the button with the picture of the tulip. Don’t forget to autofocus on the subject you are taking. You must push the shutter button half way down to use this feature. Do not move the camera when taking the picture.
The contrast of a picture means that for example;a picture with a woman with a light cloak with dark linig has high contrast. So basically, contrast is kinda like a light object with a dark background or the other way around. But that is also basically high contrast. Another important thing, make sure you use the viewfinder, because that would be kinda stupid if you didn’t. The viewfinder is also called the backlight. The size of a picture is called the aspect ratio. The ”ladders” that are in a picture and makes it look not focused or blurry is called pixelization. If you are taking a picture of a person with light eyes and don’t want them to have red-eye, use the red-eye feature for the flash settings.
I read this article in the newspaper a few days ago. It was a famous one written in1897. The person was a little 8 year old girl named Virginia ‘O’ Hanlon. She wrote to the New York Sun. I’ve read it before but couldn’t help reading it again. She asked is Santa real? The reply was by Frances Pharcellus Church. It was by far the most detailed and beautifully written piece of writing I’ve ever seen. Now I don’t want to copy the whole thing not just the fact that it’s long it would count as plagiarism. Here was one of the quotes,”The most real things in the world are the ones that neither children nor men can see.” If you are curious to read it, here is the link and I hope you’ll like it!
I don’t really know why I chose my questions for my survey. The reason I chose to put ”Where is your favorite place?”for question number one is that I was curious about other peoples’ favorite place to go. I chose to put ”What is your celestial sign?”was that I was very curious about other peoples’ personalities and I noticed that a lot of people are Arieses. My third question was ”When were you born?”.Obviously, all of the other kids were born in the 1990’s, but I wanted to leave other options for teachers, too. I put in a fourth question which was ”Are you from Earth?” for fun, but deleted it because some people took it too seriously.
Hmm…this was a tough one. I liked everyone’s surveys, but too bad I can only pick one. I really liked Reuben’s. It was really funny. His had pretty weird and bizarre questions. I also liked Amber’s, but her questions were almost as if she was a stalker. It was fun answering hers and Reuben’s surveys. Well, I hoped you enjoyed my blog! This is Reuben’s link:

Today was a very special day at my school. Instead of the everyday boredom of wearing uniforms most of the students wore costumes from nerds to goths to zombie doctors. I wore my dad’s old army uniform top with my green pants. Today was also the day of the Halloween dance which was really loud when it started. I didn’t go. So for the students who didn’t or didn’t want to go all together had to stay with there team teachers. I, of course, was in team 6C, so I chose to go to my Science teacher’s class during the dance and after the schedule that was mixed up.
Now, I will tell you about the teachers. My Math teacher was tutoring the students who failed her quiz that was taken a few days ago. I had an A. I had a 92% to be exact. My Reading teacher was going to tell scary stories and then I heard that she was going to chaperon the dance. My Language Arts teacher I suspect was going to show this exciting movie called,”Anne of Green Gables” or another movie. I have no absolute information about my Social Studies teacher. Lastly, my Science teacher had board games that some of the students brought.
The person I interviewed was my Science teacher. I asked,” So, what is your opinion on today’s activities?” She answered,” Hmm…I think that everything is going very well.” Then she continued watching the students who made such loud noises. I also heard that at the dance, the stereos were broken at one time. I heard the comments which were like this,”The dance was boring.” and, ”The dance was fun.” Then about twenty minutes later shool ended and student poured out the hallways, some running, some walking,some talking,some shouting and few just doing everything because today was the last day of school before the four day weekend and to get loads of candy that night. So, for everyone who has read this post, this was my Halloween,fun,sweet and especially loud.
I woke up, drowsy, as usual. It was Wednesday, February,7,2007. It was Chinese New Year and my birthday. I was really happy and really sleepy. My mom was the first person to say ”Happy birthday” to me. I still could not believe she was right there, in my room,on my birthday.I mean,she was usually on a business trip to Las Vegas.
I went straight to the kitchen and ate breakfast. Then I got my towel and went to the bathroom to wash myself. I put the water on hot,then cold, as usual.I got dressed and ready for school. I asked my mom if she was really going to my party at school. She said not to worry and promised to be there.She then dropped me off at school and I walked to class.
A lot of people greeted me with ”Happy birthday’’s. I waited…reading…language.Then lunch! I waited,excited and nervous as I slowly opened the door to my 4th grade class. I sat quietly in my seat.The room was dark and the light in the back was lit. I got startled when someone brok the silence and said,”Hi!”. It was my mom,I was so startled that I almost fell out of my chair! Then the party began, we had a big strawberry cake and pizza. We also had some beverages. It was really fun. It was also the first time my mom ever came to my birthday and not a business trip.
