2010 is starting out to be one of the greatest years! I went on this field trip about nature and the Ohlone Indians. Can you believe it? This assistant, or, as they call themselves, docents, told our whole class that the Ohlone Indians lived in the woods ( the '' Sunol Wilderness'') for 12oo years! Can you believe it? Nancy, our docent, told us to think about your great-great grandmother. She lived about maybe in the 1800's or more. Nancy said,'' Those years of your great-great grandmother was the year when the Spanish traveled to the Sunol Wilderness and gave them a bunch of food and clothing.'' The way I think about the Indian word clothing, I think about the male Indians hunting deer and using their skin for warmth. My friend told Nancy that she was part-Indian, and so was her twin. Nancy commented,''Great,'' as she was passing out some pinecone-seed necklace. She said it was what Indians wore; the woman Indians. This girl named Makena was picked to dress up like an Indian. There were tule skirts, and deer skin coats. That was pretty much it. A chaperone kept taking pictures and pictures. Nancy picked a boy named Jackson to become an Indian man for anout 5 minutes. Nancy decorated Jackson more an- wait a minute! I forgot about the gathering for women. They used a basket...

2016: New Year, _____ Me?

I never realized how time flew by SO. QUICKLY. Here I am, now a freshman in high school, almost ending first semester. WHAT? I remember my first blog like it was yesterday, seven year old me, telling my dad what to type, and then my dad leaving, causing me to have to end. the blog. I had typed the words "coolcoolcool". Like ?????

Well, update: Late 2015, I played in quite a lot more tournaments, and at the beginning of the school year, I joined the high school golf team. I have to say, joining the high school golf team is pretty much the only thing that's been fun about high school.

Random Update #2: In May of my 8th grade year, my cousin Rochelle got married. The family (and when I mean family, I mean FAMILY, like the typical 30 something of us) all took a plane ride to Texas to celebrate my cousin's wedding. She also graduated with a master's degree of social works (?) at University of Texas in Austin, Texas.

ANOTHER update: Since I'm about to end first semester of high school, this week (Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday) I'm going to be having finals. WISH ME LUCK! In fact, I'm supposed to be studying right now, yet I procrastinate by bringing up my old blog that I haven't written in for two years. Classic me.

Last but not least, I'm glad to log on again on this blog page. I'll always be updating, no matter if it takes one week, two years, or a decade.

P.S. I should really do my New Year's Resolutions, I still haven't done them.
P.P.S. My dad's probably gonna be the only one to read this lolol, so !!! IM GONNA STUDY NOW

Update!😅

Hey people! My father has challenged me by bragging about how he is going go be a star when he creates a blog. Well, I have decided to accept the challenge. I am going to be blogging soon a lot, hopefully! I will notify you if something comes up that I can't blog every day, because of school, golf, etc.. Thanks!❤️

Monterey Part 1

Hey guys! What's up? I went to Monterey during summer vacation with some of my relatives on my mom's side and a relative's friend. I took lots of pictures on my Kodak Camera, and a couple of videos too, and so I'm going to share all of the pictures I took!!!

When we reached Monterey and finally parked in a parking lot space, there were stairs that led down to the aquarium on the left side, and buildings of food and stuff like that on the right side. There was a statue without a body aside, and so I decided to take a picture. My Tita Beth took this (my aunt Beth, but in truth she's really "Lola Beth"). Aren't I adorable?

When I reached the Monterey Bay Aquarium, I stopped a moment to take a picture with the sign, just like I did the last time I went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

        When I got inside, one of my relatives showed an employee our tickets, and we headed immediately to a big diving tank full of kelp and algae. It seemed like I just got there in time, because there were scuba divers cleaning the tank. One scuba diver even waved at me!

After a short minute waving at the scuba divers, I hurried by the Deep Reef, which their sign is below.

In the Deep Reef, I took a picture of a tank full of... sea anemones? I'm not sure, because I forgot. There's no animals lurking around in this tank, just sea anemones (possibly). You can see a black line at the left, which shows a cut off sea anemone, but that's not your eyes playing tricks. The tank is like a box, each side has a square. So, it's just the beginning of a new square.

We went outside of the Deep Reef to go to the Touch Pool Area, which is my favorite part of the aquarium. There was a place to touch bat rays, and in truth they don't electrocute/sting you unless you treat them badly. I touched the Bat Ray when it came, and you can see my Ate Jessie's hand touching the Bat Ray too. My hand is the one with the watch.

Next to the Bat Ray Touch Area, there was also a place where you could touch starfish and kinds of plants. I didn't take a picture there because I only got a chance to touch the Bat Rays. Instead, we went inside a little place where a kind of waterfall would splash down. Don't worry, the water's not dripping over me. But doesn't it look like the water's dripping? Maybe not, but still!

There was a turtle tank near the building, and so I went to check it out and take a picture. I ended up pressing the video button, and I can't necessarily access the video on this blog, so I'm sorry :( .

Someone suggested going outside after we checked out the turtles, and so we went outside to look at the view. This is just a downward view of what I was seeing at the water from above.

Rocks, yay! With some birds to perch on it. Very fascinating...

Okay, enough of that outside nonsense, and into the cool world of jellyfish! Yay! Woo-hoo! These are two jellyfish swimming around a tank, ready to electrocute. (cue the cliffhanger music- dahn dahn dahn...)

I thought this was a fascinating thing to take, even though there's no image whatsoever, just words. Isn't it cool that jellyfish are "Japanese Sea Nettles?" And that they "keep a beat and go with the flow?" Does that mean jellyfish come from Japan? Hmmm. That goes for a thoroughly search through Google!

Are those mini jellyfish?
I'm not even sure... Huh.

Hi!

Hi! It's Gianelli. Sorry, I did not write a lot of posts during the whole summer. Anyways, it's a Friday right now, and thank goodness it is because I'm sick of having homework and quizzes and school. I've transferred over from an elementary school to a middle school, and it's much more complicated now. And don't take that as a compliment!
                Lots of school work now. Less time for blogs. Less time for anything. Even golf! Thankfully, I am still going to Georgia to celebrate Ate Elaine's wedding. Woo-hoo Nov. 3! I get to spend my birthday there YAY! And go on a plane again! It's been two years since I've been on one, and yes, two years is a lot for me. Hopefully I didn't get a fear of flight during the time (dahn dahn dahn).

              Speaking of planes, did you know that it was 9/11 a couple days ago? 9/11 is the day in 2001 when a group of bad people took over three planes and crashed the Pentagon (i don't even know if that's right but whatever), the Twin Towers, and also attempted to crash the White House. Imagine if the White House was crashed! Then it would probably be rebuilt, but still. The White House is ancient, and it will be replacing the ancientness no matter what! But I'm pretty sure that the White House has been replaced. Whatever. I'm really bad at listening to what the story was. My teacher for the last three periods talked about 9/11, and what she was doing when it happened. It was so scary, she had told us.
           I like to make videos, and so I made a video I made using the application iMovie. It's awesome, and it's basically my morning routine. So yes it's awesome and I wish you could've checked it out!!!!!
          Omigosh I'm sick right now! I have a runny nose, and my voice sounds a little weird. It also feels like I haven't brushed my teeth for a year. Ever get that feeling? Oh, whatever. Hopefully I feel better. I also have another video and it's me undercover, but that was deleted.
         Whoops. I gotta go! BYE!

Summer!!!!!

Hi guys! If you haven't watched the video of me doing a music video to a singer Shealeigh's "What Can I Say," then click the video! I hope you enjoy/enjoyed it, because I had a lot of fun working on it.      

Now that it's summer, I might be doing more posts so I can keep track of the things happening like my golf tournament which is going to be happening in July. It's in San Diego, isn't that cool? It's Junior World, by the way, for the name of the tournament.

I'm on summer vacation now, but I still have to do some schoolwork so I can practice my cursive and math sometimes. Summer is really fun, but it can also be not fun at some times. For example, Tatay and I went out to grab a doughnut dozen at Lucky's, and while Tatay was grabbing coffee at the Seattle's Best Coffee machine, I had to pay it myself. So I went to the cashier and got out my wallet. "Four ninety-nine," the employee had told me, and he held out his hand for the money. I gave him five dollars, and he handed me the receipt saying, "Cash due, nothing." I stood there for a moment, wondering if the employee forgot to give me the penny. But NOOOOOOO! I did not get my penny. I was too embarrassed to say that the employee forgot to give me the change. So I just walked out with the dozen of doughnuts with Tatay trailing behind saying, "Ang inet!" which means "It's so hot!" in Tagalog. Now I'm wondering, what if the world was about to be destroyed and I was the only one who could save it and I needed a penny but I didn't have a penny because the employee didn't give me it???
At least the doughnuts are good.

   I blame Mommy for eating all the doughnuts...........................................


     Do you know what karma is? Well, if you don't, karma is: When you do something bad, something bad comes to you. It basically means, treat others the way you want to be treated, and if you don't, things are going to get ugly. Unfortunately, I did not realize this until I went out in the backyard to check on the foot spa I made. Wondering the materials? Okay, I'll clue you in. You need: 1 BUCKET THAT YOU CAN STORE FOR GOLF BALLS AND SODA, 1 HOSE, AND 1 CHAIR. Anyways.... I had made the foot spa the day before and left the bucket full of water over the night. When I came back to check on the water, there was a bug in the water!!! "No one messes with my foot spa," I said matter-of-factly to the bug, and decided to train the bug to be tougher and not mess with me. So I took multiple times of pouring water over the bug, having him walk on the "golf club bridge" to get to the grass (but then I would pour water on the bug so it would just fall into the bucket again), and whirl pooling the bug so it would get dizzy. An hour later, the bug was practically about to die, and I did not want to be the cause of a bug dying. So I grabbed my golf club and set the bug on the face of the golf club. I decided to pour a little water on it for fun, but then, erm.. I kind of poured too much and the bug fell on the grass, probably dead, unconscious, or all of the above. After that I left to wash my feet from the foot spa and to leave the guilty party. I realized that I left my pogo stick in the backyard so I opened the backyard door to get it, and then opened the screen door. Suddenly, craaeeck! The screen door fell. I quickly widened my eyes, ran to grab the pogo stick, and tried fixing the screen door while balancing the pogo stick at the same time. Unfortunately, the pogo stick lost its balance and fell on my foot, causing me to get a little scrape. "Oh, karma," I immediately thought. I mean, breaking the screen door? Pogo stick fall? I was going to have a little trouble when I was going to face "The Bug" in heaven. Now I'm a teeny aware that something else bad might happen to me!

See? I have the picture to prove it.



Hopefully it doesn't involve my golf. Now I'm starting to figure out "Third Time's A Charm" has a bad view to it.

Happy summer SENSATION (yes I am still on to that) I hoped you like my post!!!! :)
