Haiti Earthquake

People had lost their homes and now they have no where to go and no where to start a brand-new life.

People has lost their things and like this old lady in this photo, people became poor and starving.

The 7.0 earthquake was so strong that crashed the Haiti government palace. The earthquake killed people or injured thousands of Haitian.

The capital city of Haiti has trash all over the road like this photo, and people are scouring the area to find food or things that are eatable or usable.

Things are getting worse in Haiti. Even though, there is no disaster, Haiti was still poor and hopeless, but with this earthquake disaster, America and other places around the world started to get interest on Haiti and started to help and rescue survivers.

Journal Entry #3

Finally, Journal day. The December break was quite exhausting. Everyday, I went somewhere or had to do something. The Things that were really special were the camp and the trip to Bandung. The camp was actually for Christians. The camp is called Youth Kosta. For young-adults. Learned about having your own vision and how to solve a problem that most young-adults have. It was 3 days camp and to tell you personally it was fun, but exasuting. After that, we watch Alvin and the Chipmunks 2, then the next day, we watched Avatar 3D, on the following day we watched Sherlock Holmes. The favorite movie I watched this break was Sherlock Holmes. It's about a inspector/ detective called Sherlock Holmes trying to solve a case about Blackwood's black magic. The favorite part that I had enjoyed was when Sherlock Holmes practiced the hanging and figured out how Blackwood survived in the execution. Well Sherlock Holmes used thousands of belts covering his chest and his belly/ stomach. Blackwood was a genius professor that made people believe that his little trick was his black magic. If you want to know about the Bandung trip, please look on the last post.

For the Taipei American School ( What I did on vacation)

P.S. SORRY IF THIS IS TOO LONG FOR YOU.

From the cold land, Korea (-25) grandma and uncle's family arrived in Jakarta, Indonesia. They were wearing a really big coat or a fat- looking jumper. Our family welcomed them and lead them to our house with a car. They wondered around first when they arrived, but then followed us through the elevator to my house. The visitors put down their stuff and talked about how they lived, what is happening in Korea and Indonesia, but we all couldn't talk much, sleepiness came and everyone slept at each other's places. That's how the first day ended.

As 2 weeks has past, our dad decided to go to somewhere that has fresh air and cold breeze and our family recommended Bandung, I was the only one that said Puncak. Well, if you didn't know Bandung and Puncak both has mountains or are mountains, nearly the same, except the spa and resort in Bandung, and that's why I had to go to Bandung. We packed our stuff and were ready to go the following day.

All 8 of us went down to the lobby. Dad drove the car and we tried to fit in the c-rv car, but we couldn't. Imagine, 5 people in the back seat, supposed to be for 3 people, 1 in the trunk, where you put things, 1 on the driver seat and 1 on the front seat. Unfortunately my car was big, but didn't have a middle seat, instead the trunk was bigger than it was supposed to be. My grandma had to sit on a CD box, My sister and I had to sit on our mom and auntie's lap. We all had to go on with this position for 4 hours. Then rest and again go on for 1 hour and a half with the same position. Our body ached, especially the women who were in the back seat, including me!

When we arrived in the Bandung spa resort, when we dropped down of the car, people started staring at us, like saying 'huh? haha'. It was not funny, I was expecting someone to cheer me up especially in this mood, but the workers stared at me and the others too, thought like it was some kind of joke except it is live. Our resort was 2 resort in 1. It was a family place or called as family suite. We unpacked our stuff and quickly went to bathroom before the others had gone before. I was the first one. After the racing, we had some rest on our beds.

After some sleeps, we changed into our swimming gear and then headed to the spa with our towel covering us. The spa was steaming, but I had to go in. My dad pushed me in. The spa was big, A swimming pool in another word, except that the water is hot and they put something in so tastes salty. "Burning the bad skins are good, but too long is bad." That's what I told mom for an excuse to go back home early. She gave me the key and told me I could go back with grandma. So I headed back and unlocked the door. Straight away, we showered and waited for the others. When everybody were ready, we played Korean traditional game called 윷놀이. Fun, but exhausting. So all of us went to bed and had a deep rest.

The next day, we went home and rest again.

-The End-

Christmas!!

Christmas is finally here. Our church had this lucky pot game, which most of the people who joined will get prizes. I don't know if we're getting the prizes, because my mom is the one that's going to bring the prizes. My dad promised me and my sister to buy us a Christmas presents soon or later. I told dad that I want to buy the new PowerDirector 8. Brand new movie editor, way better than Pinnicle, if that's how you spell it. I think editing videos are fun. Thanks to Mr. Hughes. Sorry to tell , but I have nothing to talk to so BYE!!!

Journal Entry #1

This week, I was struggling about my blog template. It was so hard to find a proper website that has blogger templates. Then when Amalia and I had Visual Exploration, we figured out that Ms. Bammi's blogger template was not from Blogger, it was from Pyzam. So we stayed afterschool in the library to work it out, but guess what? Amalia's worked and mine, nothing, JUST FILLED WITH WORDS. I got so mad at myself that I can't do it and she can. Maybe, I did something wrong, that I wasn't suppose to click. Maybe I COULD ASK AMAILIA! I'm so smart! I should ask her what she did to change the template to other blogger template. I'm so confused. What did I do wrong? Wish Fairy God Mother would be true and change me to a technology geek, so my laptop, softwares and blogs are perfect from the perfects. See you next week, journal
