My Name is Andy (Journal Entry #4)

My name is Andy I was born in 2005 June 3rd. I live on Maywood Street. I have a mom, two aunts, four uncles and a lot of cousins. I am from Canada, but my entire family is from China. I usually only visit them every second year for around a month. Every time I visit my mom and I try to see everyone, usually it’s not that hard because one of my uncles run a hotel so everybody goes there when we visit. When we go to the hotel it’s always empty because of how much room my entire family needs. At the hotel every meal is like a feast, but we only get to visit once every two years so it’s like a special occasion when we visit. Also every time I visit they give me a lot of money, but sometimes it makes me feel guilty and spoiled.

I was around three when I got to Canada, at first I didn’t want to leave my family and that was only because my aunts, uncles, and cousins were all I ever knew. That’s only because my mom sent me there when I was a couple months old. Now I’m really glad that my mom sent me to China and brought me back because now I know both cultures. I like Canada now because there is nice people, but from time to time there is always someone who hates you for your culture. At the beginning of the insulting your culture it really offended me, but I’ve learned that just because someone said something it doesn’t mean it’s the truth.

Now I feel like our community becoming a more dangerous and mean place. So now wherever you go they’ll be someone insulting you or someone that you know is a bad person. I think the reason for this is because too much people influencing other people to become a bad person.

Journal Entry #3

Me and my friend Isabelle used  to play ‘’throw your little brother’’. We got a blanket and we held both sides of it. We would make her little brother David go on it. Then we would swing her little brother on the floor.it was a really fun game until caught got caught by her parents. It was also really fun for David, he was laughing like crazy when we stopped the game.

We also tried to go on the couch and throw her little brother off there.it was safe because her house had carpeting.

When we got caught by her parents we both got grounded for a month. David was also grounded for a week because he was laughing. We tried to play the game in her bedroom, we didn’t get caught this time but we decided to stop. After we just sat down on the couch and watched a little bit of TV.

When I lived in whistler my friends and I played a game in the snow. We have to build a snow fort in 30 minutes. After 30 minutes we have to destroy the other forts any way possible. The way you protect your fort is to throw snow balls at them, if they get hit 3 times they have to go back to their base and wait 1 minute, while they are in their base waiting they can throw snowballs at other players to protect their base. Your base has to be still standing to win the game.

Journal Entry #2 Family Stories

Once when I was little, I was bitten by mosquitoes. I ran into my mom and scrap my face to hers because it was so itchy. I scrap until it’s not itchy anymore, I hopped down and ran away. My mom said I was so lazy because I can just scratch it by using my hands.
Once my mom sees me eating a medicine. That time my grandpa is sick very badly and my family put his medicine where they put all the medicine. My mom told me to spit it out because if I ate the wrong medicine I’ll be in danger. But I just stare at her. Then she opened my mouth and checked the medicine. It’s safe, sweet and it will help my stomach working, so I like to use it.
When I was about 3 years old, my family and I went to a place that is kind of like a hotel. There were pear trees but the pears are still young and green, so we couldn’t eat it yet. There are also rooms that we can play cards. When it’s about 6’o clock, we put our dinner on a wood table which is outside. We don’t have any chairs because beside us, there was a family who comes just before us about 25 min. and they each get 2 chairs (they each sit on one and put their bags on one chair). My mom went to ask if we can use the chairs, but they said someone else is going to arrive here in 5 min. Then we waited and waited, when about 15 min. passed, no one comes. I ran over and say to them “please take your bags away”, they saw that I was a little child, so they didn’t refuse. They put their bags on their laps. Then I moved the chairs one by one to our table by myself, then we had a great dinner.

 

Journal entry #2 A family story

My grandma only told me this story once, but I remember every single part of the story. For me, it’s a family story.

“When I was young” she start the story “I live in a farm. My family was kind of poor, but it’s a very happy family. Until one day, I got sick” She said “My family thought I was going to die, so that night, my father sat beside my bed” “is he trying to be with you for the last moment?” I cut into the story, stopping grandma “no” my grandma said “ that time, people believe that people cannot die on the bed, so when I am dying, my father can bring me down . We heard a sound, it was from a pig in the back yard, a wolf was stealing a pig in the farm. “She won’t die now” my father said. “Why?” I said, stopping grandma from saying the story. “Because at that tme, people believe that you can tray life with life. One life will die that night” my grandma said “and it was supposed to be me, but the wolf came and the pig die.” My grandma said “Maybe life tray life is really true sometimes” “oh”  I don’t really think that life tray life tray life is true, but after that, I remember every single part of the story, like if it was printed in my heart.

Journal Entry #2

Last year before Christmas, I planned to give my little brother’s old shoes for Christmas. My brother’s old shoes was when he was five or six years old that time. When I started my plan, I put his old shoes in a Nike box. So it makes it more convincing that I gave my little brother brand new shoes for Christmas. After that, I wrapped the present with Christmas wrapping. The problem was that I didn’t know how to wrap presents and it took long enough to do it. When I was done I put my little brother’s present under our Christmas tree. And I heard my little brother talking to my mom that he was going to give me something on Christmas. I started getting curious about what he was going to give me. So I started asking him questions, but he said it was a secret. A few days later it was Christmas! I was very excited what my brother was going to react  to my  Christmas present for him. I was also excited about what my brother was going to give me on Christmas too. When it was time to open our presents, I immediately gave my present to my little brother. My brother looked excited about the present that I gave to him. It was hard trying to not to laugh but I couldn’t hold my laugh in. When my brother unwrapped the present, he started jumping everywhere like a kangaroo and he also hugged me. Then he opened the box and he realized that it wasn’t it that he think it was. I started laughing really hard and my brother’s reaction was priceless! After everything, it was my turn to open my little brother’s present to me. I unwrapped his present and inside his present was a bag of popcorn and cup noodles. And my little brother laughed so hard as well. It was unexpected that my brother and I gave each other unnecessary things on Christmas. And this is my family story about me and my little brother.

Family Story

In the Philippines, when I was about 4-5 years old my family went to the park
(With me, sister and some friends).
We went with a car (red car).
When we all got there, I was playing with my two toys
(I don’t know what they were).
A few minutes later I got bored so I went back in the car,
But my Mom (and family) didn’t know.
Then my Mom realised that I was gone so she was looking
For me, but she didn’t find me.
She was really worried at first, then she stop.
When she looked in the car, she found me playing with my toys.
That’s my family story.

My family story

My mom and dad said when I was your age we walked 2 hours a day just to get to school our school started at 12 to 6 pm and we had to walk back alone in the forest when it was dark out. My mom was really scared by herself because her sister used to go to school with her but she got too scared to walk with my mom alone in the forest so she quit school and this is why my mom is scared because her sister isn’t here. Then once during school my mom met my dad so they walked home together and told jokes to each other so they started to walk together my dad wanted her to feel safe.

journal entry #3

My friends and I like to play this game called heaven. I made this game. So there would be a heaven guard, and the guard would stand behind the gate. The gate is 2 trees that are close to each other. We use the trees in Amy’s garden. We choose a guard for heaven, and the guard gets to choose who is an angel and who is a devil. The guard will ask you these questions to decide if you are angel or not:

  1. What is your name, age and birthday?
  2. How did you die?
  3. What good deeds did you do in your life?

Once you answer these questions, the guard can decide. Usually, if you lie or be mean, you are a devil. When I play the game, I sometimes say that so and so killed me. If I say that, the person I said would be sent to hell, and turned to a devil. If the guard decides to let you be an angel, you get a special set of wings, and a healing potion. The healing potion is used to save someone once they have been captured and turned to a devil. If you are an angel you have to stand beside the guard and wait for him/her to finish.

Once the guard has finished, the angels get a 10 second head start to run. After the 10 seconds the devils are allowed to go catch you. At this point it is something like tag. If a devil tags you, you become one of them. When we play, it usually depends on how much people there are to determine how much devils there are. If the devil catches you, your friend that is not tagged can use their healing potion to heal you. But, the healing potion can only be used once. So sometimes, your “friend” might choose to not save you. But if you actually have a good friend and they save you, you do not get your healing potion back.

Usually the game never ends, so to end the game we just run to the front door beside portable 1. If you reach the door and you’re safe, then consider yourself the winner! (Although you may have ten more winners with you). My friends and I really like this game, we play it a lot! But it is more fun to play with more people.
