Haiku Collection Blog!

Hey guys! Long time no see! Krel here with my Haiku Collection Blog!

Haikus are Japanese poems with a 5-7-5 pattern. There were many haiku poets in Japan before, and haikus were usually sayings about something. I made haikus while reading the book "Who Moved My Cheese?" to showed what I had learned, in the form of Haw's sayings.

Haiku Collection I-IV

Haiku Collection I

 If you cherish cheese

All the people in the world

Will be made happy.

***

If cheese eats your mind

You will never fly to those

Heights called salvation.

***

The mind is burnt in

Flames of rampaging fury

The heart cannot stop.

***

A courageous man

Leads himself out of the pit

Where extinction lies.

***

Haiku Collection II

Being afraid will

Never help you change into

Someone fresh and new.

***

Move with the change

In your life’s turbulent sea

And learn from mistakes

 ***

In a labyrinth

Move in a new direction

And you will find hope.

***

Create with your mind

And you will find the goal

That will nourish your soul.

***

Haiku Collection III

Let go of old zones

And you will have greater strength

Than ever before.

***

Adapt to the change

And new cheese will be waiting

For you to enjoy.

***

All our past meetings

With the always moving change

Will help us move on.

***

Be aware of change

And you will enjoy life’s gift

For the chosen ones.

***

Haiku Collection IV

Talking with your friends

About the returning change

Will help you fight it.

***

Saigo no Haiku:

When you’re with your friends

Share your bad experiences

And they will help you.

Vitapops Blog!

 Hi guys! Krel here with my Vitapops blog!

When the event started, I went there with my friend EJ. I was given a  loot bag which had an activity pass. There were 11 activities, but you can only participate in only 5 of them.  After finishing 5 activities, you can get 1 snack. You can also join the raffle and get a toy. You can repeat the same activity again until you reach your fifth and final activity.  There were activities like Buzz Wire, Ring Toss, and Balloon Pop. I was really hopeless at the activities, but I didn’t care because I had so much fun.

Vitapops is a vitamin rich in Vitamin C, and the reason it got its name is because it pops in your mouth. It's like crazy people are shouting at the top of their voice while wearing rocket boosters.

Before I finished the activities, however, my friend EJ said I could claim my snack already. So I got my favorite snack: popcorn! Then after finishing my popcorn, I completed my fifth activity, which was Buzz Wire. Then, I joined him in relaxing. My friend EJ brought his PSP and was playing Final Fantasy. I was watching him. It was cool!

Then, after about 10-15 minutes playing, my mom dropped by. She said she was just around the corner and asked us why we didn’t call her. EJ thought she was at the place we were relaxing in. Then we went outside because the host was speaking. I asked my mom to write my name and put my activity pass in the raffle. She also asked me what toy would I want. I chose a Slinky because I thought it was cool. Then she went to put my pass in the raffle. My friend and I were still relaxing while the speaker was talking (Hehehehehehehehe)

But while I was watching, I was also listening a bit. I learned that if a certain bacteria infects a certain body part, you will get a certain disease. For example, if that bacteria goes into your skin, you will get cancer. After the event ended, I said good bye to EJ and went to do a bit of errands. Before I go, here re some pics!

Me and EJ.

Well, that's all. See ya!

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!
