My main goals for 2011

My Goals

#1 Buy a nook.

    I want to buy a nook because it allows me to read books I don't have. It also will allow me to read certain books for free. Reading is one of my favorite passions. By getting the nook I can read everyday which will increase my reading level. I will try to accomplish this goal by saving up my allowance I get every other week.

#2 Get a pet.

  

       I want to get a pet because it will show my parents how responsible I am when i take care of it and feed it. My apartment doesn't allow dogs or cats but small pets are allowed like a fish or bunny etc....  I would prefer a guinea pig because there small and easy to take care of. I will try to accomplish this goal by helping out my parents more and showing how responsible I am.

#3 Blog once a week

  

        I love to blog and hope to blog for the rest of my life. In school we have to blog once a week which I normally don't do either because I forgot or was to busy. But this year I will plan ahead and make sure I fit in one at least one blog post for the week. Its fun to blog and read other people's blog. I will accomplish this goal by planing the week before what day and time I will blog this way I cant make plans that day or time.

  

Christmas Time!

Christmas is a special time of year for many people. Christmas means different things to many people. To me its celebrating the birth of Jesus. Also means giving without wanting anything back. I also have many traditions that take place in between Christmas Eve and Christmas day. But I will just say a few.

Every year on Christmas Eve I go to my aunts house for a dinner. We usually listen to music dance and enjoy the time we are spending together. Then when midnight comes we all go to midnight mass. Then everyone goes home into there warm cozy beds hoping when they wake up there will be gifts under their tree. Another tradition I do is two or three weeks before Christmas I get a Christmas tree with my my family. We bring it home and put it up. Then after its done opening we decorate it with bright lights and a bunch of ornaments that are different shapes and sizes. Then we enjoy it till Christmas when we enjoy it even more. We enjoy it even more because on Christmas day is because when we wake up the tree is filled with lots of gifts under it. My favorite tradition out of the ones I said is putting up a tree and decorating it.Christmas is one of my favorite holidays and I cant wait for it this year. There is only eight days till Christmas. Merry Christmas to all!

Special Blog Post : The last book in the universe

          In school we were reading The last book in the universe. Here is a quick overview of the book: A boy named Spaz lives alone in one of the latches outside Eden. Ten he got kicked out of the latch. But he still remembered and loved his adopted sister bean. One day he got a message from a messenger saying bean was very sick and close to dying. So Spaz goes on a trip to save his sister. He goes on this trip with Ryter an old "Gummy". (They call old people gummies) Along the way a little ophan "Little Face" got attached to them. Also  a proov girl named Lanya joins them who is destined to become the ruler of Eden. The trip was filled with many dangers but finally they reached Beans side. She is very weak and soon goes into a coma. Her only hope for survival is Eden and, even though “normals” are forbidden in Eden, Lanya agrees to take Spaz, Bean, Ryter and Little Face to Eden. Bean recived treatment for her sickness and when she recovers there all forced to leave Eden, accept for Litte Faceand Bean stay. When Ryter and Spaz get back there latch is on fire. Sadly They kill Ryter. And Spaz discovers Billy Bizmo is his father, before they were part of the bangers together. People who steal stuff aroung there latch.

      This book was great! It filled your body with laughter at times, and teared your eyes at times too. My opinion on this book is that this book was really good.Confusing at first but once I started getting into it I loved it. Also don't judge a book by its cover because if i were doing that for this book i wouldn't have chosen it. But now that i actually read it i loved it. I wonder if this is part of a series. If so, ill be sure to read them all.

     

      I would recommend this book to people who like dramas/non-fiction books. Also people that like great endings but at the same time sad. I'm sure whoever reads this book will love it. It will warm there hearts.Also teach them things.I wont foget about this amazing book!

The tree lighting in New York



Rockefeller center chrstmas tree lighting 



              The 2010 Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree was lit for the first time on Tuesday, November 30, 2010 with live and taped performances. The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree is a world-wide symbol of the holidays in New York City. The tree is lit with millions of colorful lights and topped off with a cyrstal star. Thousands crowd the sidewalks for the event and hundreds of millions watch the Tree Lighting Ceremony broadcast live across the world.

          Last year I visted this event and it was amazing. All the lights sparkled in your eyes and the christmas music warmed your heart. This expirence was a beautiful one. Millions of people surround you with beautiful smiles on their faces making it hard not to smile and enjoy the lighting of the tree with them. This also makes me wonder how they fill such a big tree with lights? This also makes me think about how close Christmas is, making it even more exciting for me. Im sure I will visit there again sometime !

                Thanksgiving is almost here. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. It is a day where you give thanks for everything and everyone you have. You also have a big family dinner with losts of food. I have a big family so we have to cook alot of food. Maily everyear we have turkey and sweet potatoes, mash  potatoes, pumpkin pie and stuffing.

             Everyear I give thanks for what I have and who I have. We take turns around the table to say our thanks. Then we make one big prayer together. After our prayers we EAT! We stay up all night long talking and eating. Thanksgiving is a big holiday for my family. I cant wait for Thanksgiving this year.

An expirence this week on our week off !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One experience I had on the week off is I went to a sleepover !!!! The sleepover I went to was really fun.We had pizza and soda and also made sundaes. We stayed up all night listening to music, snacking and talking!I loved the idea of putting mattresses on the floor and sleeping on them, even though we barely got any sleep. My favorite part was spending time with my friends. I always look forward to spending time with friends. This week off was amazing. I hope we can have more sleepovers in the future!!!!!!!!!!
