All About Japan Blog!

Hey there! Konnichiwa! Krel here with my All About Japan Blog! In ancient times, the Japanese were very superstisious, and belived in ghosts.  They also used weapons like katanas and naginatas. Emperors also ruled. People in ancient Japan also prayed in shrines often, and believed in a number of deities. They also do it now, in the present too. Japan’s flag symbol is a red sun, earning it the nickname “Land of the Rising Sun”. Now, in the present, Japan is known for it’s anime shows, which have been released worldwide since the 1980s. The first animated short was shown in 1917. Examples of animes are: Fairy Tail, Kekkaishi, and Bleach. Hayao Miyazaki, the founder of Ghibli Studios, has also produced a number of movies, such as Tonari no Totoro and Mononoke-hime.  Japan also has famous landmarks, such as Mt Fuji (Fuji-san/Fuji-yama) and Ghibli Studios. Japan also has cherry blossom trees (sakura) that, when its flowers are in full bloom, are very beautiful. Well, that’s all! See ya! Ja ne! Here are some pics, too!

Katsu! Osu! Drum Tao Blog!

Hey! Krel here, with my Drum Tao Blog! Tao is Chinese for way or road. We were late because of me. XS By the time we were there, an act ended already. The best part was a play-like part in which a troop of bad guys appear to steal something and get the good guys to betray each other in a fight. But the rest were really great and loud, with Naruto-like chants. They also played music similar to Naruto, too. They used giant drums, Japanese flutes and guitars, and various other instruments. These guys have a lot of practice, and can beat their drums simultaneously. Also, as the show gets longer, the music becomes louder and more enjoyable. It’s more like a musical to me! You can get a CD or a DVD outside the cinema. The DVD is P1700 while CD is P900. The Drum Tao concert starts at July 12, 2012 and ends at July 22, 2012. The Drum Tao concert is located at Resort’s World Newport City Mall’s Performing Arts Theater. See ya, minna! Sayonara!

RRC Experience Blog!

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII GUYS! Krel here with my RRC Blog! When I woke up, I quickly prepared myself, because we had to go at 8:00 A.M.  I took a bath, dressed up, brushed my teeth, ate, and got my stuff. I did forget some things. X( When I arrived at camp, I looked for my cabin, Myanmar 13. I eventually found the meeting place, and met my friends there.

 We went to the bus, sat down and waited for our whole group to arrive and take their places in the seats. Then we watched The Game Plan.

 It was so awesome, so like Real Steel, but it didn’t hype me up that much! The best part was the game between Boston and New York. I saw two Real Steel  family problems: 1, the family relationship, and 2, the way the fathers acted toward their children at first.

 Then, we had some stopovers, and then arrived in RRC. We had a little announcement by the camp director, and then we proceeded to get our bags and go to our cabins. Once we settled in our cabins, I stayed on the bunk bed near the bathroom with my buddy, Dennis.

 The next day, there was an announcement that all the indoor hockey players did not have a venue. So, I switched my sport to basketball, but I do admit that I rarely get a pass! X(((((D

 The main event for every day except Sunday was my most favourite sport: swimming! We used a water slide to perform water slide styles and go BOOM! My signature style was the Meteor, where I embrace my legs and rocket down like a meteor! I use other water slide styles, too.

I also practiced songs, and participated in cabin cleanups. I didn’t win, but there’s always a next time! On Saturday, we had s’mores, glowsticks, and a campfire! COOOOOOOOOOOOL, right?

 Before we departed, we had our last session and a closing program. Our group, Kids Squad 4 God, was the coolest!(We even had background music.) When we ate our lunch, we made our way to the bus. We also watched Real Steel on the way back.

After making our way back, I waited, drank some water, and met up with my dad. That’s all! See ya! Ja ne!

It's A Never-Ending Chase! Tom and Jerry Blog!

Tom chasing Jerry.(Just like the old days...)

Hey! It’s a dog-eat-dog… no, cat-chase-mouse world out there! Hiya! Krel here with my Tom and Jerry blog! This show focuses on Tom, a tom cat, and Jerry, a house mouse. The two frequently chase each other, sometimes ending in situations that would moderately injure or even kill a person. (Ex. Tom getting run over by a train)

William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, the creators of Tom and Jerry, won lots of awards after creating Tom and Jerry. Sometimes, Tom and Jerry would have a temporary truce in some episodes. But sometimes Jerry would use this as a shield to prevent Tom from attacking him.( Ex.Million-Dollar Cat) or uses it to torment Tom (Ex. Matchiffe Mouse)

A Temporary Truce... of Doom!

 Sometimes Jerry uses Spike as a distraction for him to escape or as a weapon. Thinking that Tom was to blame, Spike will proceed to beat Tom up off screen and sometimes Tom would emerge totally beat up. Before this, if either Tom or Jerry(on rare occasions) were disturbing Spike or Tyke, or if Spike wanted to teach Tyke something, he would warn Tom or both of them. On rare occasions, sharks would take up Spike’s job of mauling Tom. In one episode, a shark showed up to prevent Tom from eating a goldfish. After that was over, it proceeded to scare Jerry.

The greatest episodes I have ever watched are: "The Game Of Cat And Mouse", which is an episode where Jerry dreams that he can beat (and outwit) Tom, and "Jerry’s Cousin", where Jerry’s cousin, Muscles, comes along and beats upTom  for Jerry, but Tom tries to call exterminators, which backfires on him in the end.

 There is a similar cartoon, which I also watch, called Oggy and the Cockroaches. This time, it also focuses on a blue feline, named Oggy, and his cousin Jack, who try to fend off three mischief-making cockroaches, Dee Dee, Marky, and Joey. This cartoon is slightly more violent, but, like Tom and Jerry, has no blood scenes. But instead of anvils and and pianos coming out of nowhere, buses, submarines, and spaceships(or even planets ramming into Earth) fall or crash instead. And on rare occasions, nuclear explosions happen! Whew! Okay, that’s all! See ya! Ja ne!

Stardom!

Holy Kettle Corn Blog!

Hey! Krel here with my very first blog that has comparing: The Holy Kettle Corn blog! I tasted the popcorn flavors Sour Cream and Smoking Barbecue. They came from my mom. They were great and so good! I want to get some sometime.

The Sour Cream had a little popcorn taste and the tang of sour cream. What I like about it is it’s really tasty and what I don’t like about it is it doesn’t satisfy me so much. The popcorn pack had some popcorn flakes at the bottom.

 Smoking Barbecue had the spiciness of barbecue after munching it for a few minuites. Like Sour Cream, It had some popcorn flakes at the bottom. What I like about it is it’s my favorite and what I don’t like about it it it’s so spicy!

Add caption

 Yow! I was watching Big Bang Theory when I ate both popcorn flavors. The episode I watched was an episode we already watched.

But it was so funny! The funniest part of it was Sheldon fainting after he sees blood on his thumb! To me BBT is the funniest comedy ever!  That’s all! See ya! Ja ne!

Topsy-Kirby Blog!

Hey there! Krel with my Kirby blog! Kirby was originally going to be named Popopo. In one of the Kirby games that has been created, there is a level named Popopo Islands, which references this.

 Kirby, like Mario, has an archenemy. But unlike Mario, his archenemy has some kind of appreciation for Kirby. This is shown in the anime, Kirby: Right Back at Ya!  King Dedede is Kirby’s archenemy.

King Dedede is usually seen with his hammer, which he will use as his weapon for fighting Kirby. In almost every Kirby game he debuts in, he is the main antagonist and will stop at nothing to humiliate or eliminate  Kirby.

Meta Knight is like an acquaintance and/or an enemy to Kirby. In Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, he gave Kirby his Galaxia sword for him to use, transforming Kirby into Master Kirby(Master Kirby is not a title for Kirby, just Kirby’s name for this respective ability).

 The Galaxia sword, when used by Kirby, is considered as a final weapon( It will be explained in paragraph 4).

 Kirby’s signature ability is the Inhale, in which Kirby inhales every thing in his range. After a few seconds, it becomes a Super Inhale, inhaling bigger enemies and mid-bosses. This is Kirby’s special ability.

 Next is the Star Spit. Kirby inhales an enemy, then spits the enemy back out. inhaling 2 or more enemies makes the star Kirby spits out stronger. This is Kirby’s second special ability.

 Kirby can fly by inhaling air and flapping his arms like wings. This is Kirby’s third special ability.

While flying in midair or floating down to land, Kirby can perform his Air Gun. Kirby will simply exhale a breath of air and use it as a projectile.

While on water, Kirby can perform a variation of the Air Gun, the Water Gun, unless he has weapon-based abilities like Sword, Hammer, Triple Star(Squeak Squad only),  Parasol, etc.

.Kirby can perform a melee attack called the Slide Kick/Attack, too. Kirby will crouch and slide, plus while he does that, he will execute a kick, or, when he crouches on a slope, he will roll like a cannonball on a mountain.

 In Kirby Super Star Ultra, he has 3 new moves: the guard, the normal beam, and the face-to- face food transfer.

Kirby guards by simply holding his arm over his head.

 In order to perform the Normal Beam, Kirby first needs a Helper. While Kirby is standing close to or beside his Helper, Kirby will shoot two light blue projectiles and turn his Helper into an item.

 If Kirby(or his Helper) is low on health (Or in any critical situation) they can perform the face-to-face food transfer. All Kirby(or his Helper) has to do is to be close to each other and they also must have consumed a certain amount of food.

 This is a list of some of the abilities I have used in the Kirby universe:

1. Beam: I have used this ability in Kirby’s Adventure, Kirby Canvas Curse, Kirby Squeak Squad, and Kirby Super Star Ultra.
2. Fire- I have used this ability in Kirby’s Dream Land, Kirby Canvas Curse, Kirby Squeak Squad, and Kirby Super Star Ultra.
3. Freeze- I have used this ability in Kirby Canvas Curse and Kirby's Adventure.
4. Burning- I have used this ability in Kirby Canvas Curse and Kirby's Adventure.
5. Ice -I have used this ability in Kirby Squeak Squad and Kirby Super Star Ultra.
6. Bomb- I have used this ability in Kirby  Squeak Squad and Kirby Super Star Ultra.
7. Sword- I used this ability in Kirby’s Adventure, Kirby Squeak Squad, Kirby Canvas Curse, and Kirby Super Star Ultra.
8. Spark- I have used this ability in Kirby’s Adventure and Kirby Squeak Squad.
9. UFO- Ihave used this ability in Kirby Squeak Squad.
10. Crash-  I have used this ability in Kirby’s Adventure, Kirby Canvas Curse, and Kirby Super Star Ultra.

Here are the Ultimate/Final Weapons of Kirby (and how to obtain them) in order:

1. Star Rod- Kirby has to collect all the pieces of the Star Rod to battle Nightmare.
2. Rainbow Sword- Kirby has to collect all the Rainbow Drops to fight Dark Matter. If all the Rainbow Drops are not collected, the KO ending is played and the Rainbow Sword will not form.
3. Love-Love Stick- The happiness from the citizens of Dream Land will form the Love-Love Stick so Kirby can fight another Dark Matter and Zero.
4. The Ribbon’s Shard Gun is formed when the fairies’ power crystal combines while Ribbon carries it.
5. The power from the Dream Fountains Kirby has collected combines to form the Starship.
6. Meta Knight throws Kirby his Galaxia (formerly Master) sword for Kirby, enabling him to use the Master ability.
7. Daroach drops the Triple Star Rod for Kirby to use so that Kirby can defeat Dark Nebula.
8. Meta Knight drops Kirby a Tankbot Metamortex for Kirby so that Kirby can defeat Mega Yin-Yarn.
9. Landia becomes a “final weapon” for Kirby to use.
