My Journey to Downtown:D

grace — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 05:36:13 +0000

Hey people! Did you like my newest story? I do! Also, I had to get a new passport. Well, actually, everyone but Gloria did. So, we went to Downtown Vancouver. Oh yeah, if you want a summary of the adventure, go to Gloria’s Blog. Here is my journey:
I took a Skytrain to Waterfront, then we “arrived” at Sinclair Centre, which I don’t like, cause it’s a big, empty space. And I found a tiny washroom to make myself feel better. . . no details to that! Anyway, after the washroom incident, we looked at a very colourful map and we found the passport place which is called “Passport Canada”. We did the things we needed to do (you know, show the passport information, pictures, etc. Oh yeah, and. . . ), then we got our “ticket” and we sat in the rows of chairs and. . . we waited for 45 minutes, I think. Good thing I brought books, and my mom had the DS. Then we went to get the passport stuff. And I said I wanted to go home, BUT. . . .that was only the beginning of a memorable journey.
We went near the Seawall! Okay, not a big accomplishment but still! And then we saw the 5 flag thingy, and a huge ship (to me, anyway). Then we go attracted to some art. Which I think is the Vancouver University of Art or something. We saw a statue made from sand (the sand statue was a picture of the sea underwater) and a “digital orca whale”! It was made out of black and white blocks. And some grey ones. Oh, and I saw the exterior Olympic torch lighting place. When you look closely, though, the “ice” it seems to be made out of, is actually glass with “cracks”. My mom told me that the torch thingy lights up at night. I knew that because at the bottom of each ice/glass thingy, there is a light. One of the torch thing that I saw was fuchsia-coloured. And on the other side of the place was a blue raindrop shaped thing. After, we got hungry, so we went to Waterfront Centre. We checked out some cool things and a hotel connected to it. Then we finally got to the food court. We could’ve chose anything in the food court, but we chose Tim Hortons. My mom chose a Ham Swiss sandwich combo, which included a doughnut and a drink. My mom chose brown, toasted bread and coffee with no sugar, just cream. The doughnut was for Gloria, who chose a chocolate one with coconut pieces. She also got apple juice. I then got a Canadian Maple, which is like a holeless doughnut with cream instead of a hole, and maple frosting on top. Delicious! Just in case we were hungry after, I bought 10 Timbits. Then. . . .
We went to the Skytrain station and we went home. On one line, Gloria and I got to sit at the beginning! But it was too loud, so I resumed my old seat. When we got to the ‘Brentwood Town Centre ‘station, we started walking home. Near the mall, it was hotter, so we went in the mall. Inside, my mom sat down with the I-pod Touch, so Gloria and I checked out the kittens. I even saw one fart!:P Then we finally headed home. when we got home, I found out I had a welt-like thing on my heel! I must’ve walked too much.
Then for dessert, I had the Timbits. MMmm!

My B-Day

grace — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 01:30:18 +0000

My birthday was good. Coco and Andy came over and I showed them some stuff. After, Fertancy and her sister came and we ate. Then Emily. When Paulina and her sister Linda didn’t come, we called them and they came. We ate chips and cupcakes(I made them!!). We also watched a Barbie movie. Then they went home.
Coco and Andy stayed for dinner. Then we went to Costco for a while, then we went to Jerry’s apartment. We helped the grown ups for a while, then we went home. We then went to Coco’s house(she was still with us). Her parents weren’t home, so we stayed at her house. When her parents came back, my parents helped them. Then I finally went home. At about 12:00, we ate my birthday cheesecake(Just my family.). Awesome birthday, right? Thing was, I forgot it was my birthday!
Now that I’m 1o, I can enjoy summer. If you want to know about Canada Day, go to my sister’s blog. Have fun!

Summer has officially Started!!:D

grace — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 06:50:45 +0000

School’s over, finally. Summer Vacation is tomorrow, which is also my B-day. I CAN’T WAIT CAUSE I’M GONNA BE 10, A 2 DIGIT NUMBER!! My friends are coming over. Not Kyle since he’s in Chicago. . . . .

I’ll probably post 2 days later, because I’ll be kinda busy tomorrow. Gloria’s friends are also coming over. Later, My mom, Gloria, and I are going shopping for things as goodie bags or something. Also I should try juggling. . .

For summer vacation, I’m not sure what I’m gonna do. My friends are doing a bake sale. They say if I buy anything, I get half off. Cool! I think I’ll do a group for kids under 8 to play. That’ll be fun.

What are you doing for summer? Write it in the comments!
Have a Fantastic, Awesome, Marvelous, and Relaxing Summer!

Another 4-day Weekend

grace — Tue, 25 May 2010 05:03:49 +0000

You know, I think that 3 day weekends are much more better than 4 days, cause 4 days are tooooooooooo long.

Okay, Friday was Pro d day, so no school. We had 4 visitors. Unfortunately, they had put actual stress on me. Fortunately, I know how a mom feels with 4 little people.

Sat.: Stayed at home. Boooring!

Sunday= Shopping. I think we went to church.

TODAY is MONDAY(Victoria Day). We had to sort, throw away, take out, rearrange, and see-if-they-fit-,fashion-show all of our clothes, even daddy!

Well, tomorrow there is school. I will hand in my report, and see my mark.(Hoooooray!)

Till next weekend,
Grace

Today is pro d day. So I wore a dress. On Sunday I went rollerblading with Gloria’s friend Emily. Today, my sister and I played Barbies. We made a movie called “The Life of Kacee and Miranda”. I also did work in my workbook. Tuesday, tomorrow, Gloria is going to be six and a half. I’m nine and three quarters.

Tomorrow I have to do something (It’s a secret for my dad.). Gloria is writing the same thing as I am, about today.

Will post soon,

What I am thankful for and Why

grace — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 23:59:22 +0000

I am thankful for food and water. I am thankful because I know there’s people around without food and water. That’s really,really,really sad. So I am very,very thankful. Because it gives me energy to live.

I am thankful for fresh air because in some places pollution is really,really bad. Like in Shanghai or other places in China. That’s why I’m thankful.

I am thankful for my home. Because normally I don’t think about this, but some people who don’t have homes may be too far to any shelters. I feel terrible that I can’t help.

I am also thankful for friends and family. If I was sad or lonely I’ll have someone to make me feel better and have fun with. Millions of people in millions of different places, families died. And their friends disappear. I am very lucky compared.

I am very lucky to have school. I’m very thankful because some kids actually want to go to school, but they can’t. I know that some people in my class want to trade spots with them and not go to school. I don’t want to switch.

I’m very thankful for toys. Well, that’s not important, but what can any kid do when their bored? In some places, they do work, like chores, every minute. Some toys, like Rubik’s Cube, can boggle your mind and teach you something.

I’m thankful for, that, I can go to the doctor or dentist wherever I need to. Some places, you’ll have to go miles to see a doctor! We, are all very lucky.

I am thankful for every single little thing on the Earth. Everyone is thankful! Even poor people can be thankful that they have family, at least. Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving!

The Thing

grace — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 06:36:18 +0000

Yesterday I went to Metrotown. I have a terrible real life story. While we were going to the food court, I was at the newspaper shop and, my mom suddenly pushed me and my sister into the shop. I looked around to see what was happening. I actually expected to see a speeding cart, but what I saw was way worse. As I turned my head the last place, I saw 2 people fighting. My dad pushed me to the back of the shop. Later, I heard somebody say” Get the napkins!!!” So theres blood. I didn’t know because I am not allowed to see. Several minutes later, my parents said to us,”We are going.” I hid my face on my mom’s back, so I can’t see blood or anything. My sister was with my dad. We ran to the food court. While we were eating, lots of police, some firefighters and a doctor came. Also I hears that one guy had a knife and did something to the other guy. And then the napkins part. My mom told me that the guy with knife will go to jail. And after the other guy goes to the hospital and gets better he might go to jail. And grandma grandpa, I’m safe, don’t worry. My family is safe. And then I went shopping. Any comments?
