The Dark Shadow

  This is a short story about a girl named Jen who discovers the mystery of the dark shadow.....

   
         One night, Jen was sitting on a couch in her living room. She is reading a book about a kangaroo who was animal-napped and was brought to Los Angeles. It was a funny story. Then suddenly Jen's sister, Clara, shouts from the kitchen. "Jen!!" Clara shouts. Jen was shocked and said, "What, Clara??!!" Then, Jen closed her book and went to the kitchen. When Clara saw her sister, she ran to Jen and hugged her. 
"Jen, I saw a black shadow! It must be a GHOST!" Clara said. 
"No way! There is no ghost, so don't be like that." Jen said clearly. 
"So, if you say there's a ghost, show me! I'll beat him up with my tae kwon do kicks!" Jen said, loudly. 
   Then, Jen and Clara heard a screeching sound. 
"Hear that?!" Clara shouts, "It's a ghost!"
"Well, that screeching sound seems to be a ghost. But, I haven't see him! So, there's still no ghost!" Jen declared.
  Then, Clara and Jen saw a black, dark shadow from behind the refrigerator.
"Look at that shadow! It's a ghost!!" exclaimed Clara.
  Jen wasn't sure that it's a ghost, so she ran closer to the shadow. Then, the screeching sound begins again. Jen became more curious so she came closer to the shadow. But then...

  A RAT CAME OUT FROM THE BACK OF THE REFRIGERATOR!!

Jen was shocked, but then she said to Clara with an angry face, "See! It's a rat! It's no ghost!"
Clara was shy, and then went back to her room. Jen  was relieved, and continues to read the book.

Selena Gomez

Don’t like waiting (x2)
Lets go right now!
Gotta’ hit the ground
Dancing before the music
Slows down

What I’m sayin’ (x2)
If there’s something to fix
take it to another level,
This is the remix

Everybody, everybody
Get out on the floor
It can get a little crazy
When the kick hits the floor

Make a scene (x2)
Nobody can ignore
Don’t knock it, til you rock it
We can’t take it not more!

Bring the lights up!
Bust the doors down!
Dust yourself off,
Shake it up!
Shake it up!
DJ set it off!
Take it up a notch
All together now!
Shake it up!
Shake it up!

Shake it up!
Break it down (x2)
I’ve got something to say
When you’re dancin’ whit me,
It’s like we go MIA

Make a scene (x2)
Nobody can ignore
Don’t knock it, til you rock it
We can’t take it not more!

Bring the lights up!
Bust the doors down!
Dust yourself off,
Shake it up!
Shake it up!
DJ set it off!
Take it up a notch
All together now!
Shake it up!
Shake it up!

Sh-sh-sh-Shake it up,
You gotta change it up!
And if the days not right?
Just brush it off tonight!
Put on the attitude!
Your in my pocket mood
And when you’ve had enough,
Sh-sh-sh-shake it up!

Bring the lights up!
Bust the doors down!
Dust yourself off,
Shake it up!
Shake it up!
DJ set it off!
Take it up a notch
All together now!
Shake it up!
Shake it up!

Katy Perry's Firework

Hi all! Do u know Katy Perry? She's a top singer now on. I loved a song titled Firework sang by her. Woohoo! Want to know the lyrics? See it below! 

This is Katy Perry

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting throught the wind
Wanting to start again

Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in

Do you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under scream
But no one seems to hear a thing

Do you know that there's still a chance for you
Cause there's a spark in you

You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gunna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road

Word Mozaic

Hopscotch!

Hi friends! You know hopscotch? Let's read an article 'bout it!

Hopscotch is a wonderful hopping game that can be played on a bare patch of ground or on a floor indoors. There are hundreds of variations of the diagram that can be drawn. Use your favorite version to have children play.

Use chalk to draw a hopscotch pattern on the ground or use masking tape on a floor. Create a
diagram with 8 sections and number them. Each player has a marker such as a stone, beanbag,
bottlecap, shell, button, etc.

The first player stands behind the starting line to toss her or his marker in square 1. Hop over
square 1 to square 2 and then continue hopping to square 8, turn around, and hop back again. Pause in square 2 to pick up the marker, hop in square 1, and out. Then continue by tossing the stone in square 2. All hopping is done on one foot unless the hopscotch design is such that two squares are side-by-side. Then two feet can be placed down with one in each square. A player must always hop over any square where a maker has been placed.

A player is out if the marker fails to land in the proper square, the hopper steps on a line, the
hopper looses balance when bending over to pick up the marker and puts a second hand or foot
down, the hopper goes into a square where a marker is, or if a player puts two feet down in a
single box. The player puts the marker in the square where he or she will resume playing on the
next turn, and the next player begins.

Sometimes a dome-shaped "rest area" is added on one end of the hopscotch pattern where the
player can rest for a second or two before hopping back through.

A Poem By Langston Hughes

Hi friends! The poem "April Rain Song" is made by Langston Hughes. Do you know the lyrics?  Here it goes:

Let the rain kiss you
Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops
Let the rain sing you a lullaby
 
The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk
The rain makes running pools in the gutter
The rain plays a little sleep song on our roof at night
 
And I love the rain.

Louis Braille

Louis Braille was born in town near Paris, France in 1809. As a toddler he used to watch his father make shoes. One day, while his father was not watching, he picked up a sharp pointed tool for making holes in leather called an awl. The awl slipped, piercing his eye and damaging it beyond repair. The other eye became infected and before long Louis Braille was completely blind.

At the age of 10 Louis was sent to a school for blind children in Paris. Children were taught to read and write using a system of raised letters. This system was difficult to use as it was hard to tell the letters apart. One day a soldier called Charles Barbier visited the school. He had developed a system for reading messages in the dark based upon a series of raised dots. Louis Braille realised the potential of this system and developed it so that it could be used for blind people.

Louis Braille's system was not accepted at first. One Headteacher even banned the children from using it but this only spurred them on to learn it in secret. Soon the benefits of the new system were realised.

When Louis Braille grew up he became a teacher at the school in which he was a student. It was not until after his death, however, that his system was widely adopted. Today, Braille is used in almost every country in the world.

Here's the Braille Alphabet:

 

A Problem With My Little Brother!!!

my brother in my school

Hi! Do you have any brother or maybe sister? Do he/she loves to tease you and annoys you? I think it's just so usual. I also have a little brother. His name is Noah and now he's 3,5 years old. I and my brother usually fight together. Because he took my properties and doesn't want to tell the truth. 

But it's just so fun. Since my brother is younger than me, so he usually do what I ask him to do. If he don't, I will not playing with him. (Ha ha ha.... It's just so evil right?) 

He usually tells jokes and laughs. But I don't really get what does he means with his jokes. I'm also confused when someone laughs when his joke isn't funny at all. But, I still like my brother. 

Do you know Disney's PHINEAS AND FERB? It's a cartoon series about two step-brothers that makes any inventions by their own. Their older sister; Candace, is easily freaking out and always tries busting the boys. I think my habit is like Candace; I like to freak out and bust my brother. But the difference is that my brother is always busted. 

By the way, in "Phineas and Ferb Gets Busted!", there is a song about the brothers. The title is Little Brothers. Here's the lyric: 

Little Brother,
I remember when you first came home,
Then came another,
little brother of our own.
Even when you break my toys,                                                
you will always be my
Little Brothers,
Cause you're younger, we're related, and you're boys.
Even when you're making too much noise,
you will always be my
Little Brothers,
Cause you're younger, we're related, and you're boys
Little Brothers,
Little Brothers,
Little Brothers... 

 

A Solution of My Problem

Hi friends! Do you all know, today (19th Feb 2011) I'm just so confused. Why? Because I'm thinking of any book(s) to be written about in this blog! But, it makes me dizzy because there are so many I  books that I have (then I should select it and summarize it) . Suddenly (I've got this idea just now), I have a brilliant idea. The idea is: TELLING YOU WHAT BOOKS DO I LIKE! Well, it sounds good enough right? But there's a major problem! The problem is (I've got this problem when I wrote the beginning of this posting): I don't know what books I like. Because, remember, I have lots and lots of books in my mini library upstairs and my bookshelf. And I think I like all books except the books with a very scary story and messy paintings.Well, I'll tell you three top of my favorites. 

1. PRINCESS POOH is about Patty Jean that have a sister Penelope "Penny". Penny is cared a lot with her parents; that's what Patty thought. Patty called Penny Princess Pooh because she always sit on a wheelchair like a throne. But then, Patty knows that her parents loved her so much!

2. JUST A DREAM is about Walter, a litterbug, that learns that people need to remember about their environment and taking care of it. I had an posting about it in this blog.

3. The Evergreen is about a group of kids with their adventure to save a kid that was kidnapped. It uses Indonesian language and is written by Ninis. Published by Dar! Mizan Publisher. I also have a posting about it.


Well, that's all I want to share with u all. And please enjoy!!!
