My Whacky Web Tale : The Haunted tower

This is a Whacky Web Tale I made from the site 'Whacky Web Tales'. The words that are in bold letters are what I wrote. It's kind of wierd but it's fun. Try it over here!

The Haunted Tower

One afternoon Jake and Ashley were walking down a(n) yummy trail, looking for kindling for their campfire. The trees were funny and green, and there were colorful wildflowers all around. Jake and Ashley began to pick the wildflowers, and after a while, they screammed so far that they had wandered away from the trail.

It started to get dark. Jake began to get worried, but Ashley seemed excited to have an adventure. “Look!” Ashley said. “Do you see that pizza? It looks like a house!”
“We're saved!” cried Jake, who was relieved.
Once they got closer, Jake felt very uneasy again. It didn't look like the cozy little cottage Jake had been imagining, but rather a big, spooky tower! It was about 3 feet tall, and it was covered with sky blue ivy and moss. It was the creepiest thing Jake had ever seen!
Jake said, “Ashley, let's keep walking! There's no way I'm going into that tower! It looks haunted!”
“Don't be such a(n) sushi! We're going in. I think it looks perfectly un-haunted!” said Ashley.
Jake was so scared that he could not open his eyes. He felt his fingers chatter as Ashley opened the door. All of a sudden, Jake felt that he was not alone. He opened his eyes, prepared to see the worst. But instead, he saw all his friends and family inside the haunted tower! “Surprise! Happy birthday, Jake!” they all cried.

Ode to a cellphone

Dear cellphone,

You are like an entertainer, playing games, listening to music, texr messaging.

You await your owner with a bright and blinking face,sometimes put to sleep

When your energy runs out your fun runs out only to be replaced by sad blank darkness.

You are good when you do your owner's bidding but you are naughty when you disfunction

You have many abilities but when the time comes, you are already gone.

You can not swim or bunjee jump, being such a fragile thing.

You need electricty as nutrition and batteries to live.

You have many clothes of different colors and shapes.

You are a pricy thing to keep up but some can't immagine life without you.

So can you think how much I am depressed, without the joy you bring?

Everyday I am tortured by my friends who go about their daily lives,

not knowing how much they are blessed by their little friend.

I can not send text messages or talk to people on the phone.

I am sure you know the sadness I feel without you

and I sure you know I have been waiting for a very long time to have you

so why don't you come?

Why do you slip out from my grasp further and further away?

My birthday,Christmas, Children's day came and went with no sign of you

When will you come?

I await you.

This is an ode I wrote to a cellphone in writing class at camp GLPS.

Those who have read this who has cellphones should know how lucky they are.

I really envy you. Those who don't have a cellphone will know how I feel.

I hope I'll get a cell phone  this year. ㅠㅠ

English Pop Song Contest

On my first saturday at GLPS, we had the English Pop Song Contest. Our class sang 'Heal the World' by Michel Jackson. It's a really nice song and I posted before. Anyway we weren't that good, but we improved much more than before, I think. We didn't win. We were okay, but other teams were better. I don't remmember 3rd place but class 8, where my little sister is class president, was 2nd place while class 10,who sang 'Lucky' by Briteny Spears , was 1st place. I think they deserved because they made a guy dress up like a girl. He must have been so embaressed! Even though we didn't win, it was fun.

Spring,Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring: S.A.T. Writing

        
This is a video called Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring. It is about a student of the monk who mistreats other weaker animals by tying them to a rock just because he was bored. So the monk teaches the student a lesson by tying him to a rock and not letting him go until he has freed all the animals. In the end the fish and snake dies while the frog lives. And ther the student learns his lesson.
 I think it was very wise how the monk chose to punish the student with experience. Usually nowadays most parents just hit them or scold them. But since experience is better than words or force I think he would never do it again.
 One time, when I was young, my cousins came to visit me and my sister. It was summer and we were bored so we went out to play. While we were playing outside, I saw an ant crawling away. So having nothing to do, I captured the ant between my hands and kept toying with it until I was finally bored and stepped on it. Later, My relatives and I went to catch cicadas with a net and returned home with two of them chirping and alive. They were healthy until we let them go when their wings snapped and when we threw them out to fly away they just fell down,down,down...
 I feel really bad now, even though I felt nothing that day. Maybe this is how the young student felt when he saw the remains of the two little helpless animals that did not do anything wrong. I think most people these days think that since those animals are helpless, we can do anything we want with them, but we can't do that because no matter how small and how weak they might be they are still living creatures and they deserve some respect, just for that one reason.
 Now I learned my lesson, I will try to respect every living creature by leaving them alone to be free. And now after watching this video, I will hope people will treat little animals as they would like to be treated.


Thank you for visitng my blog and reading my post.

Heal the Wrold

I'm a student at camp GLPS and this is the song we did for our pop song contest.

We didn't win since we are intensive but it was fun.

In this music video, Michel Jackson sings about saving the environment for everybody.

It is a really nice song with a really nice message that I totally agree.

I hope many people who sees this video will listen to him and heal the wrold.

Enjoy!

Writing Chain : The Present by class 21

Hi. I'm Nicky from class21 at GLPS, and this is a story we wrote togheter in writing class.
I hope you will like it.

*    *     *

 Maybe it was because I stopped, or maybe it was destiny. I'll never know. But the only thing I learned from this experience is that there are things that are best when left alone.

 It all started when I turned 16. I should have seen it comming. Since my 14th birthday, trouble can't  resist to stay off my birthday it seemed. The day I turned 14,I was comming back from school with my best friend, Hailey, when suddenly a car swerved in my direction and crashed into the sidewalk marking me with a scar across my face. I don't know if it was destiny, then destiny likes to fool around with some one's life it seemed, because on my 15th birthday the same car came crash right next to me. Lukily it missed me. Haily was not there,thank god, and there for not crushed. She usually doesn't miss ny birthday but she was busy, same as today. So having nothing to do, I went to the mall with my dad and little sister. My mother died two years ago.
 I was listening to my iPod, with my little sister whining for candies and dad talking to other mothers about cabbages when my iPod stopped playing and a voice came out from it. " There you are. Are you listening to me?", it asked. " Yes, I am.", I answered, stunned. What was this? A radio brodcast? " Well, do you remember your scar? Then...DUCK!!!" I did. Somebody screamed - there was an apple with an arrow in it. The apple turned purple and turned into ash.
 It was all so wierd. Why me? Why an arrow? While I was still thinking it over, the voice in the iPod said,     " Now get out of here she's gaining on you again." I ran. I didn't look back until I was back home. I was so scared. And in my head a question kept on replaying again and again. Why? That was my only thought. The I remembered the voice in the IPod. " Hello? Is anybody there?" I asked and I was answered, " I guess you wan't to know what's going on?" " Yes. Why is somebody trying to kill me suddenly? What did I do? And how do you know? Why do you even care?" I felt my eyes suddenly fill with tears. I didn't do anything do deserve this. Why couldn't I just have a normal life? Then I felt my heart lurch at the voice's reply. " Because... I'm your mom." I was shocked. It wasn't possible. How? It must be a trick. But I wanted to believe it. I needed my mom. So stupidly, I played along. " But... how?" " Ghosts have certain days which we can communicate with the living. Friday the13th. And since your birthday is January 13th, the combination of your birth and my death and the dead's most powerful date. I can see you and you can,too. Today the dead and the living are together." ,
I was still trying to grasp that idea when the door flew open and my chaser, my to-be-murderer, my best friend, Hailey, stood there holding an arrow in her bow. My head began to swim. It was too much, too much for me to handle... " You think you deserve to live? No, You are the one who deserves to die, not me!", she screamed at my direction. She looked delirious. She also looked a bit more pale than usual, too.
 " What do you mean? Why are you trying to kill me? I thought we were friends!"

" Ha, some friend you are! Don't you remember how I died instead of you?"
I could feel the blood draining away from my face. It all came back to me now. At my 14th birthday when the car came crashing into us, I escaped the horrible accident with only a scar but Hailey didn't make it. I remmembered hearing from the doctor that if we are in shock, our minds sometimes forget things. But that meant...
" You are a ghost?!" I was shocked. What happened to the world?
" Yes, and after today, you will be,too!", and she put another arrow in her bow. I remmembered that Hailey used to be a great archer. I saw the arrow leave the bow but I couldn't move. I just stood there,frozen. The arrow pierced... in to the IPod. I screamed. No, Hailey screamed and her voice, the remains of her soul was sucked into the IPod. The old grandfather chimed 12 times announcing midnight. Announcing that Hailey was gone. Announcing my mom's first and last birthday present: my life.
