Yesterday I went bowling. It was very fun. It started at 7:00 and ended at 9:30. I can't wait to tell you about it.
On my first try in my first game, I got a strike. I was winning all the way until a person named Micheal won. Later I went to the arcade with him to play games. The rest of my scores was not very good.
When I first lifted an eight pounder ball I nearly collapsed. I asked for a six pounder which was pretty good. Near the end of the game I started using 12 pounded balls. Those were really heavy so I used both hands and threw the ball.
Today I just figured out why the bowling place is so slippery.Like some houses they also put oil like things on their floor. If you didn't put oil on the floor then the bowling balls will break the floor because they're so heavy. With oil it won't break. Yesterday I had a fun time at the Palo Alto Bowl!

Christmas
I am very excited about Christmas. I will get lots of things from friends.I might also have a party. Every year, I have a party on the night before Christmas. We bring presents and eat at someones house.
The party goes to 12:00 sometimes! We play games and computer. Sometimes we draw pictures on paper and cardboard. Once we all got bored so we went outside to have a big water fight and with a hose.
At the next day, I open all my presents including Santa's. Many of them used to be Lego but now they are mostly gift cards. I'm okay with both. I like gift cards more because you can buy what you want with it.
I was writing this because it is almost Christmas. Everyone is getting into holiday spirit and on the radio it is singing Christmas songs like "Your a mean one Mr.Grinch", or "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer". I can't wait for Christmas!

Wall Street Singers
Today at school I went to the multi to listen to a big group of high schoolers sing. They were called the Wall Street Singers. These singers were very,very,very good.
There are lots of pitches. I only remember one called the Base, it is the lowest one. Some of the singers were base. All of these people could hold their breath for almost 3 minutes!! I could only hold for about 1.
They sang lots of songs but I only knew one of the song out of all of them. It was Deck The Halls. One of the song was even in Latin! They sang many songs. Compared to our chorus we were like nothing. They sang at the perfect time with the perfect voices.
I listened a long time. At the end we got to grade them. At last, they went away. We all went to our class rooms to start doing work again.

Japan
Today I finished reading a book called Japan. It was all about Japan. It also was a pretty good book. Today I am right about the important facts.
These Japanese people have many festivals. One Festival is where they make a life size building out of snow!! It takes 2000 people to Build one castle. That day many tow trucks and people carried all the snow they could get to the place. It takes nearly one month to finish it.
Another tradition is making tea. They serve broiling water to the guests and put the tea things in there. This whole time the people are silent. They think it is respectful to do so.
The Japanese people sometimes even look at things different. Instead of looking at the main thing. They look at the room around it. I learned alot of interesting things about Japan when I read the book.

Persia
I read a book about Persia let me tell you about it. The book wasn't very long, but it had lots of information.
The Persians had lots of battle with Greeks. One Persian King called Xerxes made a long bridge by lining boats from side to side and then tying planks. About ten thousand warriors marched across to attack Athens. The Greeks had heavy armor though. They also used strategy. When the Persians marched across, The Greeks spread out and the broke into two small armies and attacked the sides. Well then, the Greeks won. The Persians fled to there ships and went away.
After all the battles the Persians have been through, { it was about 20 }The Persians only won one. At the end the Persian empire collapsed.
The Persians were a very rich population though. They also rarely ate fish. The only utensil they used for eating was a knife! The disposal for bones were on the ground. And for a knife they also had to bring there own!
The Persians had many Kings. More than half were murdered by trusted servants or friends. Many years later the Persian empire was no more. Alexander the great conquered the land. That was what I learned from the book.

Shaolin Monks
On a Monday, I watched a Kung-fu show some time ago. It was about 2 hours long and amazing. The masters did a lot of moves I never imagined.
One of my favorite moves was a move called the metal breaking head. 2 of the best Monks practiced a thing called chi gong. Chi gong is a thing that concentrates all of your power into one spot. One of them took a metal stick and broke the bar on his head. The other one used 2 metal bars at the same time and broke it.
Another cool move was when the monk used a needle and a thick piece of glass. Another person put balloons on the other side of the glass. The monk jabbed the glass with the needle, and ... the balloons popped!!
After, the monks did a bunch of other moves. Then, it was question time. People asked lots of questions. Finally,I got a picture with the Monks and went home.

Flying a Kite
Yesterday I flew a kite. My dad drove to Shoreline so we can fly. I flew first and my dad helped me. Then I started slowly unraveling the string until it got all the way into the air.
My kite is a dragon. It has and orange belly,big yellow wings, and a purple tail. Its wing span is about 2 feet across. Its eyes are glass. My dragon is really easy to fly, but I don't get to fly it alot.
I kept on unraveling till it was at the full length. It was just a small spot on the sky. I learned if you tug on the sting softly over and over you can make it go higher. If you jerk it hard, you can make the wing look like they are flapping.
I flew my kite for 40 minutes and the I had to leave. I made the kite do a really low dive right on top of my sister then stopped it and got in the car.
