Still Binging on The Flash

I am still watching The Flash on Netflix. It is getting really good. I like the show because it is about The Flash who is a superhero that runs really fast. He can break the sound barrier and run on water. He hasn't learned to vibrate his atoms through solid objects yet but he can do that in the comics. The main bad guy is called the Reverse Flash but Captain Cold, Heatwave, and Gorilla Grodd have all been on the show. Firestorm is another comic good guy that was on the show. And Green Arrow was on it too. Flash got whammied by a guy that could make people angry and Arrow had to bring him in. It was a neat battle. I look forward to watching the last episodes for Season 1.

Monday

I had a good day at King Tiger today, I got help a lot of newer white belts. I also got my push ups done during school. Some people looked and stared at me, but I kinda of stop caring. I really want to be a black belt, so if that means doing push ups and sit ups in public to get them done, so be it.

October 18, 2015

     Today my parents went to a pooja (an Indian get-together sort of where we worship a god). At first I was not allowed to go since I was grounded, don't need to go into the details. My dad gave some work to do, but he came about 1 hour and half later to take to the pooja. At the pooja I played football with some friends. Once they all left and I was the one, I watched the Panthers vs Seahawks game and they won 27-23. After the games my family went home. My sister had tried out for the All-Star in a soccer organization called AYSO. My parents will get an email if she makes it. Also I don't have school tomorrow or Tuesday. It is a Parent-Teacher Conferences during the day for those two days.

Hot Air Balloon Festival

Today we went to a hot air balloon festival. We went up in a tethered hot air balloon ride. I liked it a little but it was really scary cause I'm afraid of heights. After I got out of the balloon, we walked over to the kid section where there were a whole bunch of bounce houses and some games. We went into a balloon that was inflated sideways on the ground. There were a lot of people inside of the balloon and there were a lot of beach balls that were being kicked all around. It was great until Ben took the ball from me and walked away with it. I got really mad and stormed out of the balloon. Later we went and got some food. We got funnel cakes and butterfly fries. Then we went home and I was just sitting around. My mom is making me write this now and I don't...

Competing

My day started of busy. I had to leave at 8:00 for the AAU tournament. I competed in sword fighting and forms. I got a medal for sword fighting, but sadly, I did not get any prize for forms. When i got home, me and my neighbor played the Xbox. Me and my best friend had a BBQ at my house.

AAU Tournament

The AAU tornament was awesome, I did the form division and the Olympic sparring division. In the form division I went against two 2nd degree black belts. In the first round for forms I did kuemgam and came in first the second time I came in second, so overall I came in second. In the sparring division I only sparred one girl and got second, but I had lots of fun sparring.

AAU

Today i competed in the AAU tournament. For sparring i sparred the 15_17 year olds thankfully the one i spared was only fifteen. I don't know whey i got put in that group when I'm 13 me and John Gray tried to tell them but it took no effect. I got kicked in the right eye and then in the left one. Ill probably have a mark there for a couple of days i had to get an ice pack for my eye. There was a couple of tears but i made it through

Tournament

BIG shout out to everyone who competed today at the AAU tournament in Concord!  Great job to everyone!  Tournaments are great experiences and also good ways to learn what to really practice.  We had a good turnout today, and lots of people had fun.  Also, eating Korean food for lunch was definitely a huge plus as well!  :)

Saturday

Today and yesterday morning were perfect for a run, running is not my thing but did enjoy it with the cooler weather.  Trying to stay focused with all going on and know the TKD finish line is getting close.  Had a good lesson with Master Chin yesterday and maybe someday when you say hapkido my brain will not turn to scramble eggs.  I just keep mixing everything up.  Looking forward to a productive weekend.

Watching The Flash

Right now I'm watching The Flash with my dad. Also my mom just got a new camera and it is the D3300 Nikon. In Flash, Barry is fighting a man who has steel skin. If I had a superpower I would probably want superspeed like the Flash. I could get ready for school every day in the blink of an eye. And I could walk home and to King Tiger super fast. If I ever broke a bone I could just rest for a couple hours and it would be fine. Of course I would still need a cast to keep it in the right shape. If I couldn't have super speed I would have teleportation so I could still walk home from school and get there quick.

Morning

This morning I went outside to do my run. First I got my rain coat on, then I headed out of the door right after I was finished tying my shoes. It wasn't too cold, but I could still feel a breeze in the air. After my run I ate some waffles that my mom made right when I came home. I couldn't wait to try her waffles. They were really good and I had two of them plus some bacon. I can't wait to see how this day will turn out.

Not completely crazy yet !

Another long day today and One more shoot day this week.  How quickly I fall behind in editing and ordering... and it is my understanding that tomorrow will be our biggest of the week..  I'm very tired!   My knee has remained swollen all week,  it's been a tough week.  Trying to remain upbeat and happy when everything on you hurts is tough, but the kids can't know just how difficult you are finding the day.. I need SMILES!  My hotel has had a screaming baby, yapping dogs, and a group that has found partying all night to be the best thing to do.. I'm guessing they don't work in the early morning.  Last night I came close to becoming that 'crazy lady' you might see in the movies..  The weather after Monday though has been pleasant and ended up nice for an outdoor shoot.  I think after tomorrow's shoot I am going to return...

Festival

Went to the renaissance festival today, so much fun. I got to hang out with my best friend. We have different classes this year so we don't see each other much. I got to shoot arrows and i bought a beautiful rose, then asked a candlemaker to dip it in wax. Instead of only lasting 3 or 4 day, it will for 7 years. Speaking of plants, i'm going to check on my Azalea shrub before bed. Night!!!

     Today during International Studies my class had a party for the end of the Hispanic Heritage Month. We ate tacos, played Hispanic games, and learned Hispanic dances. I was suppose to bring the pinata, but I forgot. My classmates were really pissed off, but another kid my class forgot to bring drinks. I had 3 projects due today, one for International Studies and 2 for Social Studies. That's all for today.

Avengers 2

We just watched Avengers 2. It was one of the best movies I've ever seen. The first time I ever saw it was with my parents and my brother at my grandparents house. My mom said that action wasn't her thing and she fell asleep for the whole movie. My favorite Avenger is Hawkeye because of the bow and arrow and he has some of the best lines. I also like Quicksilver even though he dies so quick. At the end of the movie they left us a really good cliff hanger when Thanos shows up and says "Fine I'll do it myself." I'm looking forward to the next Marvel movies.

     The Renaissance Festival was amazing. There were a lot of other kids from different schools since it was a school week at the Renaissance Festival. There my friend found a $20 on the ground in which he paid for 8 people to go into the Dungeon that cost $2 each. I bought a Roasted Turkey Leg which was $7, but it was so good. I also bought a Frozen Italian Soda that its before taste has a water taste and it after taste is sweet. I didn't play the carnival games though. I did see at the Tomato Throw (A person stands 5 meter away from you and you can only hit his face or hands with a tomato.) the guy you have to throw tomatoes was trash talking with these two girls (They were doing so bad that he said that come back later when they were not...

There was a photo booth and my sister and I took pictures. Ahhh I looked really stupid. Nothing much, I tried to do a cool nail design, FAIL! I did like an ombré, and the sponge was bieng annoying. It wiped off the nail polish I had underneath. And now it has texture, it feels pretty cool. I hope you had a superb day!

     Today we had my ELA class had its first warm-up on Passage Correction. In International Studies we had a 3 people group, in which 2 people had to find 20 facts on Immigration in Manhattan during the 1800s and 1 had to read a short passage on it, write facts on it and answer questions on it. Well while I was reading the passage for 10 min, my 2 other partners were playing games instead of working. When I come back they haven't answered nothing, so I did there work. Luckily, my teacher said I would get credit and they wouldn't. During Social Studies a person in my class was taken out of class for playing games on their computer. In our school if you use the school's network they can track what you are searching. I am going to the Renaissance Festival tomorrow. Yeah!

Home Early Tonight

Today I was supposed to stay for sparring at King Tiger but I only need like 23 sparring rounds and I can get 20 rounds from Kickboxing so I got to come home early. After my dad picked me up he went to the library. He let me stay in the car while he grabbed a book that was on hold. Then we went to Chik-Fil-A to get dinner because it was JV Washam night and mom didn't feel like making dinner. The sticker on my shirt reminded my dad of this. After we went through the drive-thru which was completely packed, we went home and ate dinner while watching a YouTube Channel called Good Mythical Morning. I talked about them in another journal. It was fun and my dad did not get enough chicken nuggets for me so right now I'm starving. No but seriously though, can I get something to eat?

Monday - Monday & we all fall down

So the weather said it was supposed to be 73 and partially cloudy today... great weather for an outside shoot.   I want to be a weather man, cause even when you totally get it wrong, you still get paid.   I managed to shoot 3 kids and the bottom fell out. Not sure it even got close to 70 until late this afternoon.  So the morning started with a scramble trying to adjust for the weather and wobblers who obviously didn't want their pics made in the rain....  Anymore I hate journaling, seems it is all negative.. So, before I continue, I am SO happy I woke up this morning. Pain and all. LOL.   Between a toddler and a set of steps I think I have pushed my knee over the edge.  It was already acting ugly after last Thursday's shoot, then the 5K on sat I think was another little push, well the...

Hello

Today wasn't bad. I barely had homework, so I watched YouTube. TKD was fun, I was mentroing a supper stubborn kid about his front stances. I never ealized how HARD it is to make someone do good front stances. The second class was a lot of fun, a lot of Poomsaes and self defenses. Over all, also in our neighborhood w have a little thing that they do. It's like since we have like 30 in it, we can do this. Like what they do, a random person gives another random person a goody bag with like candy and stuff, and than with a paper, and you have to put up the paper or you'll get more. Than, you have to make two more goody bags and give it random people(houses). It was a lot of fun. 2 people gave it to us, so after TKD,my sis and I went around...

Yuck

I had really bad headaches today. Every time I stood up or bent down, it would start to throb. I had to stand up really slow. But my parents medicated me really, even though i am a baby when it comes to nasty, yucky syrup and powder stuff. One of my teachers told me i should put salt up my nose to help my congestion, there is no way I'm doing that, I would panic as soon as one little piece went up my up my nose.

She told us we had to make our words by cutting out letters/words from the newspaper. It also as to be page long. My class had its official class with our new teacher. In Social Studies we have a project on our Middle Age Class. I am a knight and my name is Philip the Great of some English town in the 14th Century

Levine

I am not really sure if this is going to work.  The site looks different and I am not sure if it is the site or the Windows 10 update.  Either way, here we go.  We had the Levine run this Saturday.  It was nice to see all the support generated for the kids.  I especially liked the costumes.  One nice part, although not really important in the big picture, I was able o finish the race without stopping.  I was pretty happy about that.

Saturday i...

Saturday i did a 5K for the hope builders and that was a blast because I've never done a 5K before and for my first 5K it was awesome. The really good thing that was really funny was that on the run my brother forgot his water bottle and i had my back pack on, and i know what you are thinking hes crazy for bringing that, but i had to because my phone. So when my brother came up to me on the run he said spray me with your water and sure enough i sprayed him and he looked so funny, it was even better when i told my mom. And during the 5K it started raining and then at the end it all came pouring down. So that was the good part of my weekend.

Monday

Had a pretty good Monday.  Got a chance to teach the afterschool kids over at Elevation Church.  That was a cool experience and looking forward to it again tomorrow.  I always like doing martial arts at places we don't normally train.  It is certainly a cool feeling!

Sick Day

Alright maybe going to dance camp sick wasn't my best idea, but I did it, and it was fun. I had to take really long breaks during camp because I was learning really fast dances, and I was getting queasy. But the dances were so cute!!! I love them.

Throwing up

Wow. I feel horrible today. I threw up when I took a cramp relief. It was horrible. I hope I don't feel like this tomorrow. I had a huge stomach thing, and I hate when my stomach hurts. I barely ate anything today. Ughh. Horrible. I took a nap at one, and woke up at three. My mom gave me a soda. I just drank some tea. I really hope I feel better and I hop you had a muuuuch better day than me.

Sunday

Today I did some things I can't remeber. I feel accomplished but I can't say exactly what I did. Maybe the extra credit song I did with my sister or that my account finally started working then I struggled and finally found a way to write a journal entry. Is it just my account or did everyone update? I like the old one better, its easier to access for writing journals. I have not been on this sight due to not bieng able to log in, so I might have very big numbers for some days and zero on others.

The Martian

Today we went to see a movie called The Martian. It is about an astronaut who is on Mars with his team and there is a huge storm. He gets knocked out by some debris and the crew thinks he's dead so they head home. Turns out he wasn't dead so now he is trapped on Mars with a limited food supply. He tries to grow potatoes and when he tries to make water with 2 hydrogen and one oxygen he uses solid hydrogen and liquid oxygen to make water. Unfortunately he forgot to account for the extra oxygen he had been exhaling so it kinda blew up in his face. He had a rover and inside of the rover there was a camera recording his progress. And I noticed that that camera was a Go Pro. I thought the movie was really amazing and it was based off of a...

Sunday-Post Race

I"ve not been able to log into journals for the last couple of days.... Had a good run yesterday at the Hopebuilders 5K... Was no need for an ambulance, that is always good.   And the kids from Belmont absolutely ROCK... after they finished their run, they came back to catch up with me and finish my run with me.   They have no idea how much they help me push through.. Thanx guys!   ... I'm out of town for the entire week shooting in Wilmington.    I hope to find a chance to scoot over and visit the guys in Leland.    All for now, testing out the new journal setup here. .. I hope everyone has a great week!

Church

This morning I went to church to learn more about God. We learned about the differences of what God made and how they are different. Also we talked about how the Trinity was always there and how they are equal. But each of the persons in the Trinity have a different job. Besides our Bible lesson the way that we did things were normal and no changes or any different plans yet.

Journal October 11, 2015

Today was my cousin's tenth birthday.  We had chicken, rice, vegetables, cake, and ice cream.  When we got home I went up stairs to play my favorite game, Madden.  Then my sister came over to spend the night.  Then it was time for dinner.  So today was kind of like a lazy day.

October 11, 2015

     I woke up at 6 am and got ready for the Hope Builders 5K. Got there around 7:15 am and ran around 8 am. I finished with a time of 26 min and 9 secs. I immediately left home and 2 hours until I ha Tae Kwon Do. After Tae Kwon Do I was really tired and slept for 3 hours. Then when I woke up I had to take a shower and go to a friends house. I stayed there until 12:20 am and came home. Guess what time I am writing this journal, 1 am.
