Create a blog


Hey guys, this is probably my last blog. It's sad to realize that english has come to an end so quickly. despite the tests and the hard work sometimes, this class was one of my favorites. However one of my favorite things to do was to blog. How much more of an easier assignment could you possibly ask for? you can do it whenever you want to, write about almost anything (school appropriate) and just turn it in friday. Well making blog can be about many things almost like a wordle, you can express your ideas, write about your life, and maybe even read about others lives and ideas...if you've never tried it, theres no pain in trying something once in life so why not?

happy blogging :)

Create a Worldle


Wordles are simple things that anyone can create and look pretty cool to the naked eye. But to the trained eye, wordles can contain more than just words, they can contain emotions, feelings,opinions and maybe even an idea about something. Not only is each wordle unique to each person with word choice, but it is completely customizable and can be made to help convey what you might be trying to say. For example you may use dark gothic colors to convey a sad gloomy tone, or bright happy colors to display a happy emotion. What ever you decide to make with this tool at www.wordle.net the result is something you may still want to try to obtain. It is fun, easy, and only takes around 5-15 minutes depending on the depth of your words.

TAKE UP A HOBBY


Hobbies have filled our country with fun things to do for many people over the years. When people hear the word "hobby" they usually think of something really boring such as collecting stamps (no harm was intended if you collect stamps) However there are such things as fun hobbies. Fun hobbies include scuba diving, surfing, play sports, make cool stuff, or maybe just simple like stamp collecting which may seem fun to you but not to others. One of my personal hobbies are surfing and scuba diving, both involve the ocean which I find to be my happy medium, whenever we feel like we need to get away or relax we all have that thing that soothes us, mine being the water. OK now back to hobbies. A cool hobby to try out that you would not regret would be training animals to do many things. You also have to be more of an animal person to do this, but training a dog to be a service aid dog for a blind individual or a deaf one, is rewarding to know that what you enjoy doing helps people out in some way.

Happy Hobbying :)

BAKE SOMETHING YUMMY!


There is always a time when we crave to eat cookies or brownies. However, when you go to store and buy those sealed cookies or packaged brownies, they may taste like heaven, but deep down you know that you crave the taste of a home made cookie or brownie. The taste is hard to described in why they are different other than the fact then they just are! Homemade bakings are also a great way to make someone feel special by saying that you took time to make it for them. Here are a few things to try baking:
  • cookies
  • brownies
  • cakes
and for those cookie fanatics, here is an amazing recipe:

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
    1 tsp. baking soda
    1 tsp. salt
    1 1/2 cups unsalted butter (melted)
    2 cups brown sugar (firmly packed)
    1 cup white sugar
    2 tablespoons vanilla extract
    2 eggs
    2 egg yolks
    3 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips or chunks

    Preheat oven to 325 F. Grease cookie sheets. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in one bowl. In another bowl, cream melted butter and both the brown sugar and white sugar until well blended. Beat in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk until the consistency is light and creamy. Mix in the flour, baking soda and salt from the other bowl until blended. Stir in the chocolate chunks by hand. Drop 1/4 cup of dough onto the prepared cookie sheets. The cookies should be about 3 inches apart as they spread a bit. Bakefor 15 to 18 minutes at 325F or until golden brown. Let sit on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Text Someone


SMS texting has dominated the teen world as the most common form of communication between each other 18.5 billion SMS messages are sent each month!! It has also become a great past time and maybe an obsession. Surveys show that 77% percent text while driving which is the one place you SHOULDN'T be texting anyone. Texting while driving is becoming one of the greatest causes of car crashes as the year moves on. Another fun fact would be that 79% of people who text text while using the bathroom!! This trend may soon one day even replace the human language. Texting is a good thing in that you can say basically anything without emotion, for example you could write "lol, or lmao" when all you're really doing is reading the text.

happy texting!

PUT UP CHRISTMAS LIGHTS


Christmas is just round the corner and the spirit is in the air. With the all the commotion about what to buy and what to cook on Christmas, people are forgetting the best part of the spirit! Putting up christmas lights is absolutely tiring and requires patience but at night when you pull in to your driveway, it is absolutely worth any blood shed or ant attacks. I began putting p some up yesterday after school, and so far so good, so who ever reads this post stay tuned for an update with ' a picture of my house finished (by the way the picture with the house and lights is not mine,  im not THAT patient.)

Go cruising


Booking a cruise, is worth 110% of what you paid for. Not only do you reciece quality service, but you are also provided with a vacation full of worry-free activities and tours to take in other countries. The food on the ships is also incredible, no matter how many times you go to the gym, you will continue to gain weight throughout the cruise (which is worth the sacrifice) Cruising also means you don't have to worry about doing the dishes or taking out the trash or even making you bed, and flushing the toilet if you want to be that lazy. Cruising is one of the top ways to go on vacation since it is a lot cheaper than paying to go 4 different countries, as apart from when cruising you go to 4 counties in 7 days.

think about it...
