Hello

The terrible and wonderful reason why I run long distances. This book is The Oatmeal, the author, talking about the terrible and wonderful reason why he run long distances, yeah. They aren’t totally terrible, it all goes down to him fearing that he was getting fat and wanting to do something more with his life than just sit behind a computer screen and draw comics all day. This book is more of an inspirational book; he wants to inspire other people that are going through he was going through, being fat. So he started running, a few miles the first day, a few the next and then it keeps adding up until he was able to run a marathon. It’s like metamorphosis process, from an ugly caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly and it’s a very complicated process and a very long process too. With lots of works involved and lots of time and will. You need to the will to get out of bed, the will to put yourself into some running shoes and walk out into the cold morning and start running a few miles. It ...

Five nights at Freddy’s. What’s not to love about it. A game where you play as a security guard working at a shift from 12 AM to 6 AM at a Pizzeria that has human size electronic stuffed animals that are entertainments for kids in the day and do “get a bit quirky at night”. What could possibly go wrong. Well, turn out a lot can go wrong. First of all, getting a bit quirky at night is an abbreviation for “they are all going to come alive to hunt you down and kill you.” and also, the second you turn your head away from the camera, something will move. So have fun. And good luck. So, how do the books hold up compare to the game? Well, it did not disappointed, in fact, I'll even say it is more entertaining to read than to play the actual game. And less scary too. Some of the stories actually had me quite scared and the one with the haunted doll waking you up in the middle of the night, man, that one is the last thing I need right now. Like, I’m already waking up in the middle of the ni...

                                                       The Battle of Dunkirk The Battle of Dunkirk, which took place from May 26 to June 4, 1940, during World War II, stands as a testament to the extraordinary evacuation operation conducted by the Allied forces. This essay explores the key events, challenges, and significance of the Battle of Dunkirk, highlighting its role as a symbol of resilience, unity, and hope in the face of adversity. After the German invasion of France in May 1940, Allied forces, comprised mainly of British, French, and Belgian troops, found themselves trapped in the coastal town of Dunkirk. Surrounded by German forces and facing imminent capture or annihilation, the situation seemed dire for the stranded soldiers. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, the British Initiated Operation Dynamo, a...

  The Battle of Stalingrad The Battle of Stalingrad, fought between August 23, 1942, and February 2, 1943, during World War II, is considered one of the most significant battles in history. It pitted the Axis powers, primarily Germany, against the Soviet Union, with the city of Stalingrad as the epicenter of the conflict. This battle and siege of the city was one of the deadliest battle in World War 2 history, over 1 million casualties on the Soviet Union side alone. The siege/battle raged for approximately five months and in those five months, there was a lot of learn on both side. For the German side, they learned the valuable lesson of to not invade the Soviet Union during the Winter, something that the French learned 130 years prior to the battle. But despite the Soviet Union emerging as victorious, was the 1.2 million death worth the trade? Was Stalin's order to hold the city using all forces available necessary to win the battle? And what about the decision of not letting the...

  The Greater Vancouver Regional Science Fair Hello again. So recently, I got into the Greater Vancouver Regional Science Fair or the GVRSF. I trust that you know where Vancouver is located and what a science fair is. If not, then there’s a reason. Anyhow, the whole thing was 3 days long and there was a lot of talking as you might expect. But we need to run that back, back 6 weeks ago when the science fair at my school happened. As a final test/exam in science, we need to make a project based on a question we came up with. I was partnered with my friend, Ethan, and together we come up a question. The requirement is that the question has to be answered using scientific research and it has to be related to science. So we got to work. The first part is to think of a question. I know that there are websites that give great suggestions for topics to do science fair on but I’ll say that 95% of those ideas are used at least once before. Also we wanted something original, a question th...

Bird: Bird families and bird Bird. Feathered flying thing that can varies in size, shape, form and sound. Mainly, bird is generally classified as having a beak, 2 wings and feathers, and feet. Anything else to add on to it like teeth, hands, tails, giant wings, horns, scales, or spikes, that’s not a bird, that’s a dragon. Birds are closer to dinosaurs than plastic dinosaurs would ever get which really says something about evolutions and its tendencies to evolves things into crabs – the term is carcinisation and apparently is not an actual word in the English dictionary - but I can’t think of anything to say about that right now so have a picture of a crab. Anyway, have you ever look at a bird and wonder what kind of bird it is. I don’t, because most of the birds I saw are either crows, ducks or goose. Sometimes I see a seagull and then that’s it. Then I go home and read this book only to realized that those goose aren’t goose. I still don’t remember what they even are. Anyway, if y...

                                                                 Snow Snow. Made from water, dirt, gravel, dust and whatever else in on the ground. Commonly seen in the Norther Hemisphere along with the Southern Hemisphere and sometimes in the Sahara Desert but rarely. Snow is something of a miracle in some places where snow don’t fall often. I’m talking about places like Baghdad, Iraq. I mean, if you go high enough anywhere then, eventually, you’ll see ice and not snow. Ice is like a cousin to snow, they share nothing in common as Ice is hard and snow are, more often than not, softer. But if you mix them all together then you get the same mixture of frozen water. Snow played an important part in religions all over the world as parts of ritual, and such. Snow also plays a part of your childhoo...

  The Universe: A travel guide The Universe is a big thing. The Milky Way is a big Galaxy. The Solar System is also very big. Even Earth is big enough that for a man to walk on every walkable places on the entire planets, it would take more than a hundred years. To explore other Galaxy would take hundreds even thousands of years to reach. To reach the Andromeda Galaxy, it is 2.5 million light years away, it takes so long that you can watch the Evolution of Humans 10 times over and still not be there. But using advanced technologies like the James Webb Space Telescope along with thousands of other telescopes on the ground, we’ve made some pretty amazing discoveries. Like Rouge planets. We don’t know how they form, how they become like that but we do know that they don’t belong in any specific system, they’re rouge and they wander aimlessly to a point where they would be millions of miles away from where, if there’s a where anymore, they originally came from. They travel the Univer...

                                                                                                   Kilo Colombia has long been the center of attention of drugs eradication by the United State. Whether it’s tracking killing warlords or just ripping out Coca plants from the ground, Colombia has always been the priority number one of drug eradication. But why does United States target Colombia? The answer is the amount of drugs, most notably Cocain, that get export out of the country into the United States. Billions of dollars’ worth of Cocains are exported to U.S from Colombia every year and the Government tried and failed multiple times on multiple occasions. Every time the Colombian Government t...

Hello there. Yesterday, I went for a visit to the Canadian Museum of Flights. What's in there? Well, what do you think? There are planes, from WW1 to WW2 to the Korean war. You got big planes, you got tiny planes, you got planes with propeller and you got planes with jet engine. You also got fighter jet from WW2 and bomber planes. My favorite Handley Page HP.52 Hampden which was used during the World War 2 as a bomber. It looks cool, the cockpit seems large enough to fit 4 people. I don't know how much people it can fit because we're not allowed in but it seems big enough for 4 people. Anyway, it features 2 machine gun spots to fire from and it is a twin engines plane meaning it has two engines. Both are propeller engines.  It's my favorite plane because of the look. That's it. The plane looks cool, powerful and very menacing. Great plane, 10/10. The plane The entrance of the museum is also the gift shop. The first thing you see when you walk in is the counter and t...

 This book took place in the distant future. Where humanity conquered everything and finally decided that Cloud storage isn't necessary a bad thing. Humans also achieved immortality. So now you live forever. Well not exactly, you can fall from a 75 building and still experience something call major injury and brain damage along with the inevitable thing call death. But, hopefully, you can still be revive at a place call the Revival Center. Real creative. Anyway, you can die but you are genetically modified so that if anything bad happens, you can self heal and no damages could sustained. So how do you die permanently? Well, that's when Scythes come in. They're literally Grim Reaper, go up to your house, knock on your door and kill you in anyway possible. They usually killed at least 5 people a week, 20 people a month and 260 people a year. Every year, you always have a chance of a Scythe visiting you, so just be paranoid as much as possible. They don't carry a scythe, t...

Murder at Camp Delta 2006. Sergeant Joseph Hickman is on his flight to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The U.S has set up a detention camp there to detained people and has been in operation since January 2002. Now, Sergeant Hickman is planned to be deployed here for roughly a year working as Security Guard. At first, everything seems normal. Besides the constant shouting from the detainees and the guards, not to mention that this place has been focus regarding Human’s Rights in 2003 because of Detainees going on Hunger Strike. Other than that, everything’s fine. Not for long. Sergeant Hickman was patrolling with his Squad when they decided that the heat and the sunlight are unbearable and went off-course their usual path to find some shades. They did find some shades and something else too. A building that isn’t presented anywhere on the official map of the entire camp. Well, that’s strange, why would the higher ranking hide something like this from them. He tried not to think about it other tha...

Maze Runner: The Death Cure Warning: This is about the book, not the movie. Also grammar mistake Ok, so this book is part of a trilogy but the newest installment ruined that. If you haven’t read the other two books then it might be a little challenging to understand the context. Anyway, after the Scorch Trial taken place somewhere in Mexico, Thomas and all of his friends are captured and held captive. Thomas get the special treatment of 26 days of isolation in a white room. They were going to get their memories back but Thomas decided that he was too good for it and escaped the facility on a "Berg" that matches the description of a Combine Dropship from Half Life 2.  The "Berg" looks something like this but a lot less terrifying and probably looked nothing like that and my comprehension skill is bad.  They escaped to Denver, out of all the places, to get a chip in their brain removed because it can, reportedly, let WICKED control your brain and that's not very g...

 Hello there, Yesterday, I went to the University of British Columbia or UBC for short, to be more specific, the campus based in Vancouver, with my family. It was not very fun walking around in negative 9 degrees Celsius but we persisted on. Well, it wasn't that bad, most of the places we visited were indoor anyway and even if it was outdoor, the visit was brief and fast. Ok, enough talk, let us begin.  First, I want to talk about the Beaty's Museum of Biodiversity. What is it about? Well Biodiversity. Everything from animals to plants. Almost every single organism is presented some way or another. Some more significant than other. If you look from the outside, you'll see a big skeleton, what did it belongs to? Not a Dinosaur but a Blue Whale aka the "Biggest animal on Earth". The whole skeleton is around 80 feet long (24 meters) and it is enormous. The Blue Whale That Blue Whale skeleton originated from Prince Edward Island and travel all the way across Canada to...

 Hello there, It has been a while since I last posted on this blog. Truth is, I've been very busy, some main reason include: school, school and some homework but mostly school. And also some test. Not very much things happen in school but there will be a long break during winter in approximately 2 weeks so I'll see you there. For the time being, while I wait for cool things to happen, here are some books I read and I review them so you kind of have an idea. So enjoy and sincere sorry for the lack of content 1984: 1984 What you know is what the government wants you to know. They monitored you through a tv, they watched your every move. If you did something they didn’t approved, they’d show up at your house and make you disappear. After that, it would seem like you never existed. The government will be always watching and there is nothing you can do about it. 1984 is George Orwell’s future prediction of a dystopian society where the government control what you do, think, talk a...

Hello again, My family on a 7 days trip to Toronto, the city is great, and it is quite cold here. Otherwise, it is very good in Toronto. The food taste ok, and the water is drinkable. Also, the subway system is pretty cool, highly organized and sophisticated system. Though something I would complain about is the amount and of dangerous people on the street. A random guy got pushed into the subway rail as the train was coming in and the guy died. I think the suspect was arrested. All my condolences goes to their family but we must now move on to what happened today. We went to Niagara Falls today and it was a good experience. It was pretty cool seeing the falls from the Canadian side. The falls is very big especially the Horseshoe which is the biggest of all the falls. Before I get into details, I would like to thanks our tour guide, Mr. Kaleb. He has been on this very specific tour for 12 years. He has a very recognizable accent but he use it to his advantage and use it to create laugh...

Hello there, I recently went to a fish hatchery with my mom and my mom's friend family to see some Salmon and other types of fishes. When I got there, there was a lot of booths in the place. Then we went to check out the actual creek and hatchery. There is a creek, just no water was to be found anywhere and there were no salmon. But the eggs are pretty cool so very nice of the hatchery.  Because of no actual salmons, off we go to Lion Park. As you might remember from last time, Lion Park is very cool and now they have fishes. Now my mom's friend family have two kids. The younger kid, name Kiet, was with us. Now, Kiet is a very energetic kid, and it's like he consumed at least 5 cups full of sugar everyday. He also likes fishing, and the river in Lion Park just so happen to currently have a lot of fish in there so that's where we went with his dad.  There were a lot of fishes in the river, like hundreds and thousands of fish, all swimming. And they are massive, two bague...

  The ultimate bathroom reader People like doing whatever when going to the bathroom for some reason. Maybe they like to distract themselves, then a quick visit to Google destroyed that reason with facts and science. Whatever the case, don’t distract yourself when going to the bathroom, it’s bad and can cause the opposite of diarrhea and make you not go to the bathroom for several day until you stop distracting yourself in the bathroom, especially on the toilet. But this book is great to read while you’re not in the bathroom, like when you’re on the couch/sofa or when you’re in bed. This book is full of facts and quiz to entertain yourself. Fun fact: the White House used to be open for public to visit and do whatever they want (as long as it’s legal). The Great Pyramid of Giza was built not by slave but by minimum wage workers. There are a lot of fun facts in the world and maybe this book will get a second installment in the future. Short and understandable easy to understand b...

                                      Ripped from the headlines. The 20 th had a lot of murders, and they all made the headlines. And comes with it a few years later was the movies adaptation. Movies based on real life murder was made to tell the stories of the events that happened. And there were a lot of them. Some are shocking stories but real stories like the “The Body Snatcher” made in 1945 tells the story about the early medicine when the only body you can dissect is body of fresh dead criminal. Body supplies demand was high but the amount coming in were low, that’s when the body snatcher strikes. They would sneak into graveyard, find one that was just buried and dig them up. Then they’ll sell it to the people at the anatomy school for money. Rinse and repeat the whole progress and suddenly, you’re rich. These body snatchers would eventually be caught and the anato...
