It's a Flow

A flow... a flow of life, a flow of people.... a flow.... what is a flow? A flow is a moving of consistent steadiness. What breaks that? A rock. A single rock can break the flow. More rocks can chop the flow to pieces. It can make it fun, but it can also make it dangerous. A flow of happiness? Sadness can teach you. A flow of sadness? Happiness would be good for you. It really is up to you on what rock you choose. But first answer this question. Do you have a rock?

This is a Call - Thousand Foot Krutch Lyrics

"This Is A Call"

She fooled all of her friends into thinking she's so strong,
but she still sleeps with her light on,
and she acts like
It's all right on, as she smiles again her mother lies there sick with cancer,
and her friends don't understand her,
she's a question without answers,
who feels like falling apart.
She knows, she's so much more than worthless,
but she needs to find her purpose,
she wonders what she did to deserve this and..

[Chorus:]
She's calling out to you, this is a call; this is a call out,
'Cause everytime I fall down, I reach out to you,
and I'm losing all control now, and my hazard signs are all out,
I'm asking you, to show me what this life is all about.

He tells everyone a story,
because he thinks his life is boring,
and he fights
so you won't ignore him,
because that's his biggest fear,
and he cries,
but you'll rarely see him do it.
He loves, but he's scared to use it.
So he hides behind the music, 'cause he likes it that way.
He knows,
He's so much more than worthless,
he needs to find the surface,
because he's starting to get nervous.

[Chorus]

Have you ever felt this way before?
'cause I don't wanna hide here anymore.
Take me to place where nothing's wrong and thanks for coming, shut the door.
They say someone out there sees us,
Well if you're real then save me Jesus,
'cause I've been this way for far too long.
I wasn't meant to feel alone.

[Chorus]

Show me what this life is all about
Show me what this life is all about

Joy comes in many ways....

Joy does come in many ways. You know the saying "find the good stuff in the bad stuff" or something like that. What if you can't find good stuff in your bad stuff? Well, what I do is not try to find good stuff, but DO good stuff. Or, to put it in other words, do stuff that make me happy. Like if I'm unhappy, I draw. If I don't feel like drawing, I write. I find lots of things to write about. If you aren't a writer or an artist, then pick up your pen and draw stick figures. Anyone can draw stick figures. Well anyway, my point is that if you can't find the good thing in your bad thing, do something to make you happy. It works. :)

Freaky Monday Day-August 23, 2010

HEADLINES!!! FIRED POLICEMAN FIGHTS FOR HIS JOB BY TAKING SOME HONG KONG
INTERNATIONALS HOSTAGE. THE REASON HE WAS FIRED WAS BECAUSE OF DRUG-DEALING AND EXTORTION.

Well, I think that Mendoza shouldn't have been drug-dealing in the first place. It was really dumb of him to do that. I mean, he was already a very honored policeman. Why did he have to do that? He already had everything he wanted.
As for our policemen... Well, they are obviously getting lazy and relaxed.If they weren't, they would be more fit to serve.
I wish that Mendoza thought of our impression on Hong Kong and the world when he executed his actions.
Those poor victims... I imagine sometimes that I'm them. I go to another country, yehay! I ride the plane going to that place. I have fun with my family. Finally, my family and some other people from Hong Kong go on a bus. I sit in the bus, waiting for it to reach our next destination. Then the bus stops and a man with a gun walks in. My mom holds me tight. The man threatens all of us with his gun. At the end of the day, seven of us are dead. Soldiers had been outside since this morning, but they couldn't save us. The gunman
goes near a window with one of us as a shield. I saw a streak of something hit the back of his head and he was dead. That was the end of this horrible nightmare.

Climate Change

Climate change is a dreadful thing, more often than not destructible and life-threatening. Here are pictures of some of the results of climate change.

See how destructive climate change can be? Houses torn apart, cute, cuddly polar bears stranded on what used to be their icy home, cool cars wasting away... How long will you stand this? We must work together to make our earth what it was before. First problem is the pollution. Do you know how much trees paper product stores take up? I don't know, but I'm sure it's a lot. Think about it. If we use all those trees, then what will be left to absorb the water when it rains? I'll tell you. NOTHING. Nothing at all. And if there is something, I'm very sure that it's a whole less than how it was 200 years ago. That's the main reason of floods. People try to fix the problem by building canals and outlets to the sea. What happens when the sea fails us? What happens if the water is just too much? Trees are practically the answer for it. Well, at least for the wet part of climate change.
What about the heat? Some of you may ask this. I say that the answer is taking advantage of the heat. Say, if we built solar-air cons, we could get cold without harming the environment. If you use an ordinary air con, you would be, in a little way, harming the environment. See, that's what people do nowadays. They sigh at how hot it is, hop into their fume-spurting car, and drive away to work or school, where they have air con all day long.
And so, my blog is about climate change and how I think we can fix it. Thank you and farewell.

Lunchtime is Here!

Lunchtime.... It's what every student waits for. It's the time when everyone goes out to do the most delightful thing in the world.... EAT. Yummy food smells pour in from all sides, and you yourself are holding the wonderful thing called FOOD. Yumminess floods your system and you get angry when you get full. 
 Besides food is playing. And not playing like a little kid. I mean like older people play. For example, dodgeball. It's a really fun game, and it uses both legs and arms. For more sedate people, play is sitting in a circle talking and laughing. In other words, hanging out. 
 Yes, lunchtime is a great time for eating, relaxing, and playing. I love lunch because of these three things. So long, fellows!

Fifth Day of Dress-Up Week - Pajama Party

It was so cute! People were jumping around in their pajamas during PE and lunchtime. People trying and failing to be taken seriously. Kids with teddy bears, kids in striped pajamas, kids in robes.... it was a sea of the biggest slumber party I have ever seen (and I also saw what it's like to be in a guy's slumber party. GRAB TOY AND HIT THE GUY NEAREST TO YOU ON TOP OF HIS HEAD!).
As always, I will tell you about what I wore. I wore my PE shirt, since I was just gonna do PE later, then I put on some blue pajamas and a blue silk "coat" with stars on it. Then I put a sleeper on my head. Oh, yeah, I also brought Valentine, my big brown bear.

Fourth Day of Dress-Up Week - Hair Day

Whew!!! Hair day was BLASTING! People walked in with Afros and wigs and even Mohawks. People with orange and blue and red hair. Some hairstyles were shocking, like RJ's zombie hair and Ethan's pirate hair. It was really crazy that day. The air was filled with the smell of hair spray.
My own hair was shocking, even to me. My choice of hair spray was silver-white. So on that day, before leaving for school, my sister sprayed my hair thoroughly with white. She used the whole bottle on my hair. Then I dressed in a black shirt with the print "badminton" in white on it, black pants, and my white sneakers. I won the prize for my costume.
(ps: My hair wasn't completely covered, so I looked somewhat like an old person. I got lots of mano pos.)

Third Day of Dress-Up Week - What Do You Want to be when You Grow Up?

So, what do YOU want to be when you grow up, huh? A lawyer? A chef? Well, the students of VCIS have dressed up according to what THEY wanted to be. You turn right, you see a Taekwando master. Turn left, a soldier. Everywhere you go you see lab coats, polos, ties, and jerseys.
As the Dress-Up tradition goes, I will describe what I wore. I want to be a doctor when I grow up. Since I thought that doctors have a sense of style, I dressed in a hot pink, low-necked blouse with flower print matched with bell pants. Then I draped my sister's lab coat over everything.

Second Day of Dress-Up Week - Sports Day!!!

basketball, karate, taekwando, badminton, tennis, cheer leading, martial and wushu arts... all of these sports were summed up into the Sports Day. The scene changed from bright colored socks to sporty people going around in jerseys, gis, and cheer leading outfits. There was even a guy who had fencing for his sport (for those of you who don't know what fencing is, watch The Three Musketeers. It looks something like that.).
My sport was basketball. I wore a jersey that used to belong to my dad. It had the letters VCF on it, indicating that the writing was not recently stitched on (I mean, we don't even use the CF on the VCF. We only call our church Victory. Do you know what I mean? If you don't, you can always comment. :) ). I also wore a shirt under that. Then I wore my P.E. shorts and Fila shoes. Then, to complete my look, I wore my Victory cap. It was a success.
So long Dudes!!! Look out for more of Selim/Hanadar's blogs!!!

First Day of Dress-Up Week - Socks Day!!!

The first day of Dress-Up Week, as I said in the title, was Sock Day. It was really fun, seeing all the students file into the Tunnel with bright blue socks, stripy red ones, and even skeleton ones. My socks were strange, because I happened to not have any cool socks, so my sister's idea was to make me wear white everything, attach Dad's black socks to my shirt, front and back. Then I would wear a bright pink, blue and yellow gauntlet on my right hand and a wrist band of the same color on my left wrist. I also attached strings of the same color on my shoes. Therefore, I was "different" in a socksy, but not quite socksy, way.
So, to sum things up, I would like to say that Sock Day was a very successful and fun day.
