Winter

Ahh, it's this time of year once again. When the snow's supposedly falling on the streets creating a white path. And when the weather's really cold, that all you want to do is sit by the fireplace and drink a cup of hot chocolate. Winter is the laziest time of year, when bears and squirrels hibernate and when humans like us slack in work and sleep in without knowing. Winter is also the time when your hands become numb and stiff, and your nose becomes so stiff that you can't even breath. Ahh...Winter. I love this time of year. The expression "what a cold person" will apply literally in this season. Winter for me is the best season there is besides summer. And Winter to me is also my training season for badminton. I may not be on the time yet but I'll still train and play for fun. Badminton season for our school is starting in Febuary, so i must train and do my best with my new mixed doubles teammate. I just hope I don't mess up and cost us the tryouts.

Winter is also the time when people and families come together to celebrate Christmas, a beautiful holiday. Christmas is the time when about every family buys a christmas tree, a mistletoe, or some kind of wreath to show some kind of holiday spirit. Some people may be grouchy during this time of year, but others enjoy it to the fullest. Ahh...Winter and Christmas, you have once again come along.

Since it's the week before Christmas break, I got some people gifts and others I just don't know what to get. Christmas time may be the best time of the year, but this year isn't going to be so great. I'm being negative right now because I'll sad when Dina Quach moves and I won't be able to see her as much. But for now I'm spending time with her before the 19th. So I'll also add this message and hope she reads this sometime when I post it. Good Bye Dina... we might've had our ups and downs but we've overcomed it, maybe. And have fun at San Francisco! I'll go visit, maybe, sometime in the future. Teehee. :P

NathanTieu

I've decided to not spoil 11Eyes: Tsumi to Batsu to Aganai no Shojo and let you watch it yourself, if you're interested in it. So to make up for that, I'll be writing about Nathan Tieu today.

Nathan Tieu was born on January 9, 1994. His family consists of an older sister, an older brother, and, of course, his parents. Nathan HAD pets, but they only lasted for a couple of weeks. His pets were mostly goldfishes and miniature turtles. Nathan had three turtles but one passed away and the other two were saved by Petco. Tieu thinks that his older brother had a hamster, but unfortunately it ran away. Of all important diseases or illnesses, Nathan Tieu had never had the chicken pox. He's going to be in trouble when he gets it in the future.

Nathan Tieu went to Haight Elementary School, Will C. Wood Middle School, and Alameda High School. Nathan was an Eagle, Beaver, and now a Hornet. Nathan Tieu stayed in California for a long while, the only places that he has gone to is Oregon, New York, and Australia (to meet some koalas). Nathan's most recent vacation was to Australia, and he learned something new when he was there. He learned that Giraffe poo bounces. So Random!

I met Nathan, when i first moved to Alameda, throughout the entire Haight Elementary School years. Nathan Tieu was in all of my classes from third to fifth grade. It was creepy in the beginning, but we became friends. When we graduated from Elementary School, we went to the same Middle School too, but not like Elementary times. We didn't have classes together until eighth grade and barely talked to each other. We somehow got the same Wood Shop class. And so we started talking again. Oh and his locker was on top of mine during eighth grade. Creepy! Hmmm... and guess what, now I have one class with him, Sutherland's fifth period class.

And that's the end of "About Nathan Tieu." Thank You for reading. :D

11Eyes: Tsumi to Batsu to Aganai no Shojo

For this week's blog post, I'm going to introduce 11Eyes: Tsumi to Batsu to Aganai no Shojo, an anime that just recently came out. On April 25, 2008, something that has similarities to 11Eyes was created; it was a DVD for Windows apparently. The anime version of 11Eyes began showing on October 7, 2009. 11Eyes: Tsumi to Batsu to Aganai no Shojo directly translated means 11Eyes: Sin, Damnation, and the Atonement Girl. The studio which broadcast 11Eyes is Dogakobo, the network that is sponsoring it is Choba TV, and the director of the anime is Masami Shimoda.

The main character of 11Eyes: Tsumi to Batsu to Aganai no Shojo is Satsuki Kakeru had a sister seven years ago, but she passed away, and that's where the story begins. Satsuki Kakeru had a really bad past, but with the help of his childhood friend, Minase Yuka, got past all of that and Satsuki returned to his everyday life. But suddenly one day, the sky turned red and the moon darkened to a black color. Everybody slowly disappeared, except for Satsuki and Yuka and weird, mysterious creatures appeared in the place of the disappeared people. Satsuki and Yuki ran for their lives, without knowing what will happen next. They ran and ran, but eventually the sky turned blue again, and every creature disappeared. As though this may seem like a dream, the occurrence of the red sky and dark moon happened again.

Who did they meet? Along the way, they met four other humans. Kusakabe Misuzu, a red-haired swordswoman. Tachibana Kukuri, a really unique and strange mute girl who looks similar to Satsuki's deceased younger sister. Hirohara Yukiko, a really weird character who has a personality of a "cold" serial killer when her glasses are removed. And last Tajima Takahisa, who is a pyrokinesis who has a really "hot" attitude.

What will happen to them, watch the anime and you'll find out? Or you can wait until next week's post and I'll tell you what happened to them. :D
