Maybe??

I was just reading Bridget's blog about the fan accelerating its speed when nobody was in the room. This made me think about an incident in my life when something took place that I couldn't really explain. One day I was home alone in my room doing my homework. I was listening to this boom box. The volume was tuned down really low because I was doing homework and did not want the lyrics to bother me that much. So, anyways, something happened that I did not notice until later. It was as if the volume was tuning up really really slowly. I could not hear any difference nor feel anything wrong with the boom box. After about 12 seconds, I noticed that it was really loud and I could not concentrate. Okay, so nobody was in the room and it wasn't as if I was sitting on any remote control. It was really freaky! 

Another incident took place in the same house but to my mother. Now to any of you who do not know my mother, she is a very very very timid and faint-hearted person. She gets scared of the littlest things. I can never jump out and scare her because she can actually suffer a stroke; I have never tried that. Anyways, again nobody was in the house and my mother was typing this letter to a fellow friend. She went downstairs to get a drink of water and went back upstairs after a couple of minutes. To make myself more clear, nobody was in the house. She sat down to start typing when all of a sudden she noticed a line that she did not type before. My mother pro-fread her letter before she went downstairs. It read "to be taake away not share for all tb taake away not share for all". This is not a typo.

Seriously, I am not kidding; my mother still has the draft saved.  

Kind of awkward.

Today feels kind of weird and uncanny. I woke up at around 6:00 today and went to the bathroom. All of a sudden while I was washing my face, I realized that we don't have school today. So, I went back to sleep but before I could shut my eyes, my mother ordered me to wake up. I told her I didn't have school and there was no more noise. At around 7:00, my grandmother knocks on my door like 50 times ordering me to wake up. "It's late; it's late." I had to remind her again that I did not have school today. This little awkward situation brings me to my next point. To me, 24 hours in a day is like 2 minutes! The hours and minutes go by so quickly, you can't even believe it. Well, you kind of can because when you are having fun hanging out with friends and stuff, the hours fly by so so so pell-mell. Well, I should get back to finishing my homework.

An eye for an eye

This picture is very important to the expression "an eye for an eye". Wow, isn't it true? 

A Very Bad Day

Okay, today had to be, by far, the worst day of my life. After school I get home and my mom informs me that she is going out of town. Okay, that's not so bad but I am the only one who has to take care of my grandmother. I mean I don't mind but I already had made plans. I was really looking forward to going to the movies with some friends. So my plans were cancelled and it was okay. I called my friends and told them about not being able to make it.
So, my mom left the house at around 4:00 and she called me at 5:00 SHARP. She left me a very scary message and I almost died when I heard it. She was crying and I thought that something had happened to her. So, I rush downstairs because I heard the message and almost tripped down the stairs. If I hadn't hold on to the rail, I would have fallen from a countless amount of steps on my face. My mom informed me that she had lost her wallet. Oh my God!!! I had to search the whole house looking for her wallet and then I couldn't find it. My mom, aunt, and grandmother started to freak out on me because I was the last person who saw the wallet. I told them I didn't know what happened and they started to freak out even more. So, we all began to search for her wallet. Now, I don't mind and all but having a family that freaks out even more than you is very stressful. I began to cry uncontrollably because of all the stress taking place. So, anyways, at the end of the day my mother realized that she had lost it at the mall and we went to lost and found to retrieve it. Not only were all my plans ruined for today but I also had an additional dose of stress for a Friday afternoon. Big Whoop!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Words or bullets!

You know sometimes words are like bullets cutting your heart into a million pieces. Words like love, patience, kind, tender-hearted, or even sweet are like chocolate that indulges the heart and makes you want to sing carols or cry. It's nice to hear these compliments once in a while from people who care about you. However, words like abomination, vitriolic, distrust, depression, and even the unspeakable; cancer. As soon as these single bullets enter your heart, they will never ever leave you. When you use the word love, butterflies and a baby with an arrow (cupid) comes to mind. A smile is quickly developed on your face and you feel like a little child inside. Makes you want to reach the sky and scream on top of your lungs. Screams of joy, of course! However, words like abomination brings dark colors to mind and sickness. When I hear this word, I think of a mother sitting in a chair burying her face in her hands and wearing a black dress. Her daughter is standing mighty over her and the mother can't help but ask for forgiveness. As stubborn as the child may be, she leaves the mother in her sorrows. Also, I see a crow perching on a tree screaming songs of joy when one has been betrayed. During the Salem Witch Trials,  the witches would begin to cry when the city was in joy. On other days when war was threatened against the city, witches would begin to brew their potions and lure people into their homes. So, in other words, do not allow words to be bullets. No matter how painful they may be pretend the bullet missed your heart and went right through the empty space. That's what I always do...

What's next?

Okay, so today in Mr. Miclette's class, we were discussing about the elections and how everything is going to be changing in the next few years. You know it's interesting how change cannot come in just a few days or even weeks. It takes years for change to be created and sometimes we are all anxious to see what happens. Why is it that bad change can happen so quickly but good change takes forever? Mr. Miclette mentioned the fact that it's going to take a long time until every mistake that we our economy has drifted in will be completely restored. I don't know about you but I can't wait to see what will happen in the future. Well, we just have to wait and see!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flowers for Algernon

I finish reading this book that was incredibly sad! One of my pet peeves is that I hate reading depressing books but somehow I just can't seem to stop reading. Okay this book is about Charlie, a man who is seeking intelligence beyond his imagination. In my opinion, I thought that he was a really smart person but he didn't even know it. So, anyways, a scientist is performing an experiment to see whether or not a human can gain knowledge that of Albert Einstein or even Stephen Hawking. At first, they experiment on a mouse, Algernon, who becomes extremely smart. He is fast, strong, and is able to find cheese in a very difficult maze in a matter of seconds. Charlie is quick to have this operation performed on him and can't wait until the procedure takes place. So, the doctors prescribe him to write a diary everyday before his surgery and after the surgery and this is how we come to learn more about him. Okay, so I predicated that the surgery will be performed on Charlie successfully and he will become a smart-aleck. My prediction came true!!!! yay. Charlie becomes so smart that he begins to discover theories that were not being thought of. However, with every success a problem is developed. One day, Charlie goes to the doctor for a check up when he learns a shocking truth. Algernon's brain was deteriorating! He was beginning to act very weird and the doctor's scanned an MRI of his brain and found out the cells in his brain were dying very quickly. Worst of all, he was going to die soon! Doctors feared that the same fate would arrive at Charlie's footsteps and they were, in fact correct. Days later, Charlie began to lose his intelligence and quickly recorded his actions in his diary before it was too late. It's as if words were fallen out of his head and he didn't know where he was, who he was, and what was taking place in his life. He had no memory and worst of all, all the theories that he came up were destroyed because he didn't know what they were. All his success went down the drain and he decided to run away to nowhere until his last few days on earth. Can you believe I have been crying since this morning? At the end of the book, he writes that he was glad this surgery was performed on him because he enjoyed living in the shoes of an intelligent person for a few days. It was worth it?!?
