Blogmination:Smurfs and Cars 2: Blogliance!

Angel Smurf
Devil Smurf




















Hi! I’m Krel. This is my Smurftastic blog! The Smurfs are a race of blue people created by Peyo, a Belgian cartoonist. The Smurfs may not look like it, but they are really old! Their leaders, Papa Smurf and Grandpa Smurf, have led the Smurfs for centuries. Normal Smurfs are around 50-150 years old while leader Smurfs are 542-1,000 years old.Grandpa Smurf is the only Smurf to live for 1,000 years due to the effects of the Long Life Stone.

Their enemy is Gargamel, a wizard who is bent on capturing the Smurfs since his teens. He has ancestors in the cartoon.
The Smurfs are family along with Patrick and Grace Winslow in the movie. They have met other races and humans in the cartoon. The Smurf Village is a village which the Smurfs live in. Gargamel finds it in the movie when Clumsy Smurf goes in the magic field. I feel that the Smurfs should live in the modern age so that magic and science can co-exist.

This my Cars 2 blog! Ka-chow! The story/ movie starts with Lightning McQueen returning from a race, and Mater greets him. Later on, Lightning is seen with Sally Carrera, his wife, in Radiator Springs local resto. Later, Mater and other cars see Miles Axlerod, the secretly-evil leader of an evil incorporation and Francesco Bernoulli, the Italian racer who is proud of himself on TV. Axlerod sets the World Grand Prix, a grand prix crossing from Tokyo, Japan {my favourite! Suke!}, to London, England{ this is where Axlerod’s true identity is exposed. Suck it, Axlerod!}

On the 1st race, Francesco won, with McQueen putting the blame on Mater. On the 2nd race, McQueen won, making Francesco mad at losing in his own country. On the 3rd race, however, Axlerod’s identity is exposed and for real Axlerod was revealed to be a gas-run car. Later on, Mater is knighted by Her Majesty Queen of England, Queen Elizabeth [I’m guessing it’s her in car style]. Then, Axlerod is arrested and the Radiator Springs Grand Prix starts. I feel befuddled because the movie is so Sherlock Holmes style! Well, yow-chow guys! See ya!

Mario 101!

Hi! My name is Krel. This is my blog about:Mario!

Mario is a plumber/carpenter appearing in more than 200 games. He rescues Princess Peach from Bowser, Bowser J.r., or the Koopalings. He uses power-ups to gain special abilities. He has his own abilities, too.




Luigi is Mario's brother. Although he has 1 video game and its sequel, I like him because he's so funny! He appears in Paper Mario: A Thousand Year-Door and Mario is Missing.




Princess Peach is Mario's damsel in distress. She, along with Luigi, has 1 video game, Super Princess Peach. Here, I'm going to show 4 videos I got from Youtube. Sources: Wikipedia, Youtube

Mario's enemies are: Bowser, The king of Koopas, Bowser J.r., Bowser's favorite son: he appears in most games, and The Koopalings, Bowser's other children. Bowser is one of Mario's main enemies. He kidnaps Princess Peach in most games, although Bowser J.r. was Bowser's substitute in kidnapping Princess Peach in New Super Mario Bros. Bowser J.r. is the eighth son of Bowser. He is also Bowser's favorite son. The
Koopalings are Bowser's other children asides Bowser J.r.[Bowser J.r. is not part of the Koopalings.]They are bosses of Super Mario 3. Princess Daisy is Mario's out of the Mushroom Kingdom damsel-in-distress.
She debuts in Super Mario Land and some other Mario games.
Items: Super Mushoom: Makes Mario/Luigi tall.  There are many variations of Mushrooms, like:
Mini Mushroom: Makes Mario/Luigi very small and vulnerable, but increases their jump.
Mega Mushroom: Makes Mario/Luigi very big and slightly invinsible. This mushroom, like the Starman, cannot protect Mario/Luigi from falls and lava.
Poison Mushroom: Unlike other items, this mushroom may make Mario/Luigi lose his ability, make him small, or KO him.
Fire Flower: Turns Mario/Luigi into Fire Mario/Luigi.
Starman: Makes Mario/Luigi invinsible for a few seconds. If a cheating device is used, it will protect Mario/Luigi indefinitely.
Vegetable: Can be thrown at the enemy. Only debuts in Super Mario Bros. 2.
Bom-omb- Can be thrown at enemy. Explodes after a few seconds.
Elixir: When thrown, it opens a hidden door. Only debuts in Super Mario Bros. 2.
Tanooki Suit: Turns Mario/Luigi into Tanooki Mario/Luigi. If powered by the Super Leaf, it allows the player to access the ability to turn into a statue for a few seconds.
Super Leaf: Transforms Mario/Luigi into Raccoon Mario/Luigi. If the P-Meter is full, Raccoon Mario/Luigi can fly high if pressing the jump button.
P-Wing-Turns Mario/Luigi into P-Wing Mario/Luigi. Can be combined with the Tanooki Suit.

The Game Of Destiny [My Version]

While watching our after-dinner movie, Father explained that there was a battle competition requiring 10 people who are super-amazing, daring, famous, adventurous, & victorious.




The challenge was: defeat your opponents & climb the 100 dragon towers. I was feeling excited, determined, energetic, victorious, and ready. The next day was the day of the challenge.



We were climbing, running, bumping, overtaking, & crashing each other on the tracks, trying to climb even one of the towers.

But, in the cold, evil, bitter end…I won!


I now have centillions of cash, a trip around the world, a happy life, & a Japanese ninja samurai army.

How cool! Suuke! By UltraMedunix98. Oh, and this is the best blog ever! The End………......./-; Comment and subscribe, people!XD

Varekai in Manila, Philippines: A Comedic Play (Review)

Hi! I’m Krelian Lim. I’m 10 years old.This is my blog about ‘Varekai!
Varekai according to Wikipedia is a “Cirque du Soleil touring production that premiered in Montreal,Quebec,Candada in April 2002. Its title means "wherever" in the Romani language, and the show is an "acrobatic tribute to the nomadic soul"
The plot is based loosely on the Greek myth of Icarus, who melts his wings after flying too close to the sun. Rather than drowning in the sea below him, in Varekai Icarus lands inside a lush forest, in which the creatures teach him how to fly again”.

 Pic: Varekai in Melbourne




Cirque du Soleil according to Wikepedia also “(English: "Circus of the Sun", English pronunciation: /ˈsɪərk duː soʊˈleɪ/), is a Canadian entertainment company, self-described as a "dramatic mix of circus arts and street entertainment." Based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and located in the inner-city area of Saint-Michel, it was founded in Baie-Saint-Paul in 1984 by two former street performers, Guy Laliberté and Daniel Gauthier”.

Varekai is sponsored by Fox & Cirque du Soleil.

Acts: Varekai's acts comprise many acrobatic talents, ranging from aerial arts to Russian swing, among others

• Flight of Icarus: Icarus performs astounding dives and contortions in the net that holds him captive.
• Icarian games: Foot-juggling is one of the oldest circus arts disciplines. The bearer lies on his back and twirls the voltigeur on his feet.
• Water meteors: Three young acrobats twirl ropes with metal cups attached to the ends, simultaneously performing virtuosic acrobatic feats.
• Triple trapeze: On an elevated trapeze apparatus, four young women perform a series of striking acrobatic moves.
• Georgian dance: This act takes its inspiration from the national dance of the Lezgins, popular among many people in the Caucasus Mountains.
• Slippery surface: Darting and sliding on a specially designed surface, the artists fling and catch each other, creating an illusion of skating.
• Solo on crutches: Like a jointed puppet, the Limping Angel dances on crutches while background performers teeter on canes in a dance that reignites Icarus's desire to fly again.

Cirque du Soleil's Varekai in Melbourne
• Aerial straps: Suspended by wrist straps, two performers glide above the stage, performing original acrobatic moves.
• Juggling: A juggling virtuoso handles clubs, large balls, hats and ping-pong balls, manipulating them with his hands, his feet, his head and even his mouth.
• Handbalancing on canes: The performer achieves a variety of contortions and poses while balancing on a series of canes.
• Russian swings: Propelled by two Russian swings, acrobats are hurled high into the air, alighting on their partners' wrists or on a landing canvas, sometimes even flying from one moving swing to the other.
Acts in rotation
• Aerial hoop: Suspended high above the stage or flying through the air on a hoop, a young woman performs a series of movements displaying her flexibility and strength.
Retired acts
• Acrobatic pas de deux: Two lovers dance and perform acrobatic stunts, showing their love, trust, and respect for each other.

Varekai ends in Qurino Grandstand on July 24, 2011. If you haven’t watched it, get your tickets online!

What I liked about Varekai is that it’s full of comedy. Before the show started, there was a guy whose popcorn blew all over the place. Why? Because he was standing near an exhaust pipe and everyone laughed!

Fave Acts:
1.Water Meteor-The Water Meteor was awesome! These kids hurling rings & balancing themselves…Whoa! I couldn’t do that myself!=@

2.Flight of Icarus-The Flight of Icarus is weird…The guy playing Varekai Icarus used hammock-like wings which makes the actor look like a fan=)

3. Slippery Surface- This looks confusing! The stage looks like water! But it’s just a cover! Heehee!

4. Icarian Games –Yikes! If this game was real, the people would be bowling pins & the partipants as bowling balls!=%

5. Russian Swings The event before the show ends. I woke up on this part. More like a crazy person’s party.=+

6. Clown Acts [favorite] –The name of this act really is funny,no?
Well, there’s a magician who has a female clown for an assistant w/ no face paint but she’s funny.
Why did I sleep? Because it was way past my bedtime,9:00 P.M. I got so drowsy and then I couldn’t take it anymore, that’s why I slept. But then again I woke up before the end of the show because I heard music and shouting.

Well, this is the end of the blog.Comment and Subscribe!  Bye!
