Winter

2009-01-04T23:45:00.001-08:00

Many people like winter time, for me I don’t like winter that much. I hated to be cold and couldn’t go anywhere because of the rain and snow. Whenever I got in the car, the seat is always cold it make me feel uncomfortable. It cold it makes want to stay home doesn’t want to go anywhere at all. But when December and January arrive it getting colder, because there will snow. Just like this year, it snow way too hard. The road cover with snow, I couldn’t go anywhere or practice soccer. In house out of food, but couldn’t drive to the market to buy food. I guess it also good in some way. When it snow too hard I don’t have to go school which mean sleep in. I wish snow could be going down hard tonight so I don’t have to go to school tomorrow. I could sleep in more, and I think everyone would agree with that.

Snowy Days

2009-01-04T23:33:00.002-08:00

It was one of those days where i just want to sleep and stay under the blanket. As I opened my eyes it was 8:30Am, I looked outside my bedroom window and all I could see was the ground cover with snow. I can hear the sound of wind and that gave me the chill. I was kind of disappointed because I was planned to play soccer that day with couple of friends, but it snow outside there is no way I can play soccer. I jumped back on my bed lie down and have the laptop on my stomach. I didn’t know what else to do when there is snow outside and no one play with me. So I started to watch movies, one after another then I feel asleep. When I work up it was 12pm, the house was cold because my parents left for work early in the morning. After I was done with eating, I when over to the living room and sat there for while looking outside. The sky looked depressed, it make me doesn’t happy either. No soccer, couldn’t go to the mall and can’t go over my friends house what a boring day. So I went down to my room again, just like earlier there is nothing to do except watch movies or play games. So I went online yahoo messenger to chat with my friends, but there is nothing to talk about. So I went back to watch movies again, then fell asleep. Snow days is not always fun especially snowing over several day.

July Fourth 2008

2009-01-04T23:33:00.001-08:00

I have never buy fire work on July 4th, but this year I have. My girlfriend and I were on driving on 82nd street and we saw a tent that sell firework. My girlfriend still act like a little kid, I knew she like fire work. So we stop by and walked in the tent to buy fire work. There were lots of people that are buying firework; it was crowded in a small tent. I told my girlfriend to pick out what she likes and so am I. we walked the table in the middle and pick out firecrackers, sparklers, rockets and many others fire work. We spend about 30minutes in the tent picking out firework for the night. Our basket was almost full, so we decide to go pay. I drove my girlfriend home for her to change then drove her to my house for dinner. She looks excited for the night, I can tell she want to play with them already. When we got to my house, we ate then waiting for the sky to get dark. I was playing on the computer, but my girlfriend was tire so she fell asleep on the sofa. As soon as the sun went down, I woke her up to go outside to play fire work. My parents were also there too, but they just sat in the front yard watching us. My girlfriend record me lighting up the fire work and she was cracking up, because I looked funny. I guess it because that is my fire time play fire work. The funniest part was when both of us screamed when he holds the rockets fire work; it was really funny when we watch it again on the recorder. It was the night to remember, I’m sure next year we will buy more fire work especially the rockets.

So Sweet

2009-01-04T23:28:00.000-08:00

As I lay here boring, snowing are half to my bedroom window. I look at the present that my girlfriend gives it to me on Valentine day. It reminding me at the valentine day in 2007, I was shock to see a girl show up in my class room and give a boy next to me in my class a valentine present. As I understand, that girl was going to different school. That day she gets out of school early and came to my school. I was in class and we don’t really do anything, all the sudden the door open and a strange girl coming holding a candy flowers on her hand. It is not just one, but there are a lot of them. She walked up to where I sat then gave him the present, with a very big valentine card and said “Happy Valentine”. I was jealous when I saw him accept the present, classmate and the teacher were looking at them. The card was about 15 inches, and there were like about 100 of valentine candy .She walk out the class. The bell rang, I get out of the class as soon as I can to go to another class, that girl was sat outside the hall waiting. I know there aren’t many girls would do such a thing like that, but it was very sweet. I told it to my girlfriend and surprise it was much sweeter than I ever thought. I was stunt. Memories are always bringing happy to me especially when I am in a sad or boring mood.

Summer Time

2008-12-26T15:59:00.001-08:00

Summer is always the time most people like, because of the warm sun. Wake up early in the morning listen to the birds chirping, it is such a great feeling. I love summer; because it is a time I could play soccer every day. I really love to play soccer. When the summer comes, I will have a lot of soccer tournaments every summer. It about 5 to 6 teams they are from all over the west coast. Sometime, my team also went to Canada to play soccer tournament. Canada is my favorite place to eat fruit; so many that I wanted to ate it all. Also, in summer I can go pick cherries, play fire work on July fourth, and hang out with friend. My birthday is in the summer season, so I call it summer birthday. However, summer is not always good. Because when it gets to 95 degree and over, it’s driving me crazy. I will get sun burn. I can’t sleep at night either because t is too hot to sleep. I can’t sleep without my blanket on me. Summer is always a good time for me.

Water fall

2008-12-26T15:51:00.000-08:00

It was a nice summer day, my friends and I planned to go to Multnomah waterfall. Even it was summer; it was a little bit cool outside because it was early in the morning. When we got to the waterfall there were lots of people. It had been a long time since I came to this place. We walk up toward the water fall. At we crossing the bridge, the wind was blow spinning morning water on my face to get my attention. So I decided to stop and watch the beauty of the waterfall. It was smiling to me. I stand there for while and take a lot of picture. It was cold as we walk up higher. Because it too cold, we took many pictures and goes back down. Then we took some more pictures. We had so much fun from posing for the camera. But there aren’t many things to do at the fall, so we decide to go home and eat. Even it wasn’t much fun, but It was a great time to hang out with my friends.

Blue Lake

2008-12-26T15:49:00.001-08:00

Summer of 2004, I went to blue lake with friend for BBQ. In the cars pack of people and food in the trunk, as soon as we got there we started the fire for chicken. And the girls put food and drink out on the table. We chose the nicest spot for BBQ. As soon as the food is on the table, some of my friends get ready for water balloon fight. I ditch the fire and join the fun, I grab a bag of balloon on the table and put water in it, and ready for war. I threw at everyone that is holding balloon and I also get many back. The others and I also got wet. After a while the chicken is ready, everyone jumps in to get their food. The chicken look tasty couldn’t help me to eat one then another. Couples of hours later we plan to go swim in the lake. Well I didn’t want to get in the water, but my other friends chase me around to get me in the water. After couples of minute chasing me, they got me and they both carried me near the water then threw me in the water. We aren’t really swimming; we had chicken fight and blast water at each other’s. We spend hours in the water, and the sun is about to set and so we all got out of the water to get ready to go home. We got everything pack and put back in the car. That sure was the great with couples friends, I’m sure we want to do that every year.

Cherry Trip

2008-12-26T15:40:00.001-08:00

We drove up the farm of Cherries, Apples, Pears and many other fruits. I couldn’t wait to get out of my car to pick cherries. I went in the farm house to get bucket to go out the farm to pick cherries. The cherries was big red, it look tasty for a great summer days. I couldn’t help it, I was jump right in to pick cherries and so was my friend. The owner told us not to eat, but we couldn’t help it and ate one cherry after another. It was tasty. It was really hot, but those cherry cool us down. After awhile of picking cherries, we got tired so we sat down on the ground for some rest before we continues. I took the camera out to record my friend pick cherries, she look like a little kid. After resting for awhile then we pick cherries again, but this time we couldn’t eat anymore. Our stomach was full from eating cherries in first place. Then we went far in the farm, there is no one there. I was amaze because the cherries look dark red and really big. I picked one and ate; whoa it was sweet and juicy. About an hour later we have 2 bucket full of cherries. Then we came back to the farm house to pay for the cherries. Then we took off to go home, it was a great fun day. I plan to come back next year to pick more cherries.

Black Friday

2008-12-03T18:15:00.000-08:00

It was cold outside, but the line of people is getting longer. The sounds of people chatting are mix with the sound of the wind. Many tents and chairs were setting up in front of Best Buy. It was Black Friday, people lined up in front of Best Buy for door buster. My friend and I was one of those people that are waiting in lined. As soon my friend and I got to Bestbuy it started to rain, but lucky it not a big rain. I came unprepared; I did not bring umbrella or chair for both of us. It was too cold to stand outside, so we came to ask the other couple for us to stay in the canopy with them. It was really uncomfortable to stand in the cold, my friends told me her legs are freezing. I want to go home and bring chair and blanket, but I don’t want to leave my friend there alone. I went back to the car and get a floor mat for us to sit on. I guess something better than nothing. The night was getting colder, my friend go back to the car and fall asleep while I am sitting outside waiting for the door to open.

I sat on the floor by myself listen to music on my iPod. It was cold, but I have to sit there. Otherwise I will lose the spot. It was only 2:30am but everyone put away their tents and chair. So I came back to the car to wake my friend up. We were far away from the door; there is no way we can get the coupon. So my friend and I walk up to the front, were our others friends were and asked if we can cut. Lucky they let us cut them. We stand there for like an hours, our legs was freezing from the cold. Finally 3:30am arrive we got our coupons for many electronic stuff, after that we went back and sit in the car for a while. The store didn’t open until 5:00am, as soon as the clock hit 4:45am we got out of the car and get back in line for door buster. As soon as the doors open, everyone is running like the winds to look for what they looking for. For me I was only looking a desktop, I was one of the lucky people to get a desktop for cheap price. It was fun to camp outside in front of Bestbuy to wait for door buster, but it was crazy.
