It is December 27th as I’m writing this so it’s like the day after I wrote the last one and OH MY GOD!!!!!!! It took WAY longer to clean the pantry than I thought it would. Instead of it being the casual 2 hours it turned into 4! But, anyways…. We went to go see the movie with my neighbors but we met up with my mom’s sister first for dinner. My mom started to remind me to eat quickly because we were going to see the movie and we didn’t want to be late. yeah, so I was thinking that we had like another hour almost and the theater was right there so it wouldn’t take that long. What do you know!? There truly is a first time for everything because I WAS RIGHT!!!! We literally got there like 40 minutes before the movie started and we just had to wait until the other people arrived. One the others got there we got popcorn and grabbed seats and stuff, but then our neighbor Sue (who I was sitting next to) asked if I could move over 1 seat so that she could sit with her husband Gary. I obviously said yes and didn’t think that it would be a problem. Until the movie actually started. Before I switched seats Gary had said that I could share popcorn with Sue. But now I was sitting one seat over no longer next to Sue and I had the popcorn but I didn’t know what to do with it. I wasn’t sure if it was supposed to be Sue’s popcorn that she could share with Gary, or if I was supposed to share it with my aunt who was sitting next to me. Now, this was a long movie. It was 2 hours and 40 minutes, so the entire time that I am watching the movie I just don’t know what to do with the popcorn because Gary hasn’t asked for it back, but my aunt hasn’t taken any either. I didn’t want to be rude by eating someone else’s popcorn, but I also didn’t want to be rude by not eating the popcorn if the neighbors had paid for it. So for literally the whole movie I just sat there thinking about the popcorn and what to do about it while every one in a while taking a small bite incase I was supposed to eat it. In the end I barely ate any popcorn and left the theatre as quickly as possible to avoid any conversation that could possibly occur about the popcorn. Now I know that if I ever see a movie with them again I should probably sit next to my parents incase of emergencies such as this one.

I am writing this on boxing day (because i forgot to write this when it was due) and I just don’t understand adults. Like, what is up with them? My parents have been super busy lately and it’s been a challenging couple of weeks for us all with it being the final weeks for my mom to all of her orders done for her job in sales, and my dad being really stressed about the caffe not doing well and not being sure that we can keep it open (we couldn’t). Also we are supposed to be going to Hawaii on New Years Eve, and until December 24th I didn’t have a passport and we had no idea if it would come or not. So everyone has been rushing around doing last minute gift shopping and my dad and I have done 2 days of really hard work clearing out the caffe, and we had my moms sister over and a Christmas party at our neighbors (which we had to make a lot of food for). And now it is finally boxing day where we have a chance to do nothing all day and just relax and read books or watch a movie (we are going to watch a movie with the neighbors in the evening) but NO! Let’s spend the one day we can relax by not relaxing and cleaning the whole house instead. I don’t know what is wrong with them. But anyways I have to go clean out the pantry for 2 hours now, so see you in the New Year!

Christmas holiday

I am so exited for this Christmas holiday this year i am staying in Vitoria for Christmas break and i will be seeing my family and friends a lot. I enjoy that we are staying here because i like to relax and not feel to rushed traveling around the world  it is also nice to experience the cold weather and hopefully it snows. My plans for Christmas day and Christmas eve is to go to my grandmas house on Christmas day for breakfast and dinner and for Christmas eve it is going to be at my house i am so exited for all of it. I cant wait to see all my family there will be 15 of us together its going to be great.

For Christmas I will not be doing a lot. But we will be going to Vancouver. I will be going to Vancouver because most of my family lives there. We are going there because we have always celebrated Christmas there. While we are in Vancouver we are going to be doing a hockey camp. It is just a small camp because it is just to fine tune everything and so I do not go cold over the winter. When we are in Vancouver we are just going to mostly go places with my family. One of the best parts of being in Vancouver is it is a lot bigger so we can go to more places. Also because most of my family lives there I do not get to see them very often so during these events it is nice to catch up with everyone. I am also really exited to go to see all my cousins because I have not seen them since the summer. I am also going to go to the food places which are way better then the places in Victoria. I would say the best part of the trip is going to be spending time with my family.

If I ever had my own secret garden it would have so many fun things. When you first walk in it would have a straight pathway to a middle circle with a large and very artistic water fountain with colourful flowers around it. Then after the middle there would be a couple paths going in other directions. The first one to the left would take you down a small winding path to a pond where you would cross on tile stepping stones, and the path there will be surrounded by big and tall bushes of flowers that are very colourful. Then after the stepping stones across the pond, is a little porch with a roof and a swing bench to sit in and read outside. On the path straight from the middle points in will be an arch of flowers that are pink and blue and green. Through that arch is a small little cabin with a Mediterranean/beach house design inside. The cabin is in a big field with flowers and trees and tall grass, perfect for picnics. lastly the path on the right goes through a stone path with ancient looking pillars, and a look out to a my future house. After you go through this path you end at the pool with pool chairs connected to my future house. The whole garden is divided by large and beautiful flowers and plants. This is what my future house and garden will be like.

One afternoon, a couple years ago, i was hanging out with some friends, and we were on a relaxed walk. We were walking by a little park that someone had put together. It was just a tree and a rope attached to a plank of wood at the end. At first sight, it looked very sketchy, and when we got closer to examine it, it was even worse than we thought. The plank was mouldy and inhabited by termites and different insects. The rope was intensely frayed, and the tree branch had certain cracks in it that made it look like it would snap any moment from then. But being the kids we were we that time, we still decided to give it a go.

I went on it, carefully, took a couple swings and hopped off. My first friend went on it, swung a little bit, then heard some unsteady cracks and jumped off. Then my last friend got on, it stayed pretty steady throughout, just a couple cracks. But when he tried to jump off, his motion was cut short with the rotten rope snapping, along with the tree branch, and he came tumbling down. He rolled his ankle pretty badly, but he wasn’t that injured. We laughed it off as we walked away, but his limp and 60% laugh said it all.

Once in the ward, I think I slept. It’s been a while since the incident so my memory is a little foggy, but I’m pretty sure the first thing I did was sleep. When I woke up a couple hours later, maybe around 7 or 8, a nurse came and checked my vitals, which are like my blood pressure and if my IV’s were in correctly or not, and how I’m feeling in general. After that, I learned what happened, I had gotten hit by a car. “You were struck by an oncoming vehicle while riding your bike” is what I think the exact words were. She then told me that the only major thing i suffered from was a broken jaw (I think it was like a fractured mandible and something else). I needed to use the washroom, and I told the nurse this, and she helped me stand up, which I had to do very carefully as I had bruises all over my body and everything, including my head, hurt. I grabbed my IV and fluids tower, and slowly walked to the washroom. This was the only time I really had a struggle and it made me feel worse than I already did. The bathroom was probably about 2 or 3 metres away from my bed, and when I first started walking (I denied help) I almost fell. But I made it without any real changes for the worse, aside from my previously asleep, sore muscles waking up and causing pain. But after I finished using the washroom, I started feeling nauseous. I rested my elbows on the sink and my head in my hands. I looked and the mirror, and saw myself, and had a thought that I would never be back to normal, that’s also when I realized I had bitten a hole completely through my tongue. I probably sat resting on the sink for about 5 mins, and when I was feeling better, I opened the door, and walked slowly (the nurse helping me this time) back to my bed. There was a little food and some drink on my bed, and I slowly drank, and tried to eat a little bit, but I couldn’t really as my jaw was broken and there was a clean hole through my tongue. I just sort of sat there for a couple hours, until I went to sleep for the night.

September 29th, 2024 was the best day of my life because it was the day I shot 69. In golf, its always everyones dream to shot under par and it is a big deal when you do. Less than 1% of golfers are able to shoot under par. But I finally did it. it was a random Sunday in September and I had a golf tournament. These were smaller 1 day tournament’s that happened with junior golf Victoria. This tournament was at Uplands Golf Cub which is a private nice club. I went to my home course range to warm up first by hitting balls then we drove to Uplands so I could putt and chip there. When we got there I unloaded my bag and headed to the check in table to check in for the day. When I was there I saw some of my best friends teeing off so I watched them till they were done. Then I decided to go to the range there as well. Even though i have already warmed up at my home course I still wanted to hit only a few balls there. Once I did that I proceeded to the putting green. I took out my putter and 2 golf balls and tried to get a grasp for the speed of the greens because that is one of the most important things to do before your round. Once it was time, I put my putter away, picked up my bag and walked to the tee. When I got there I saw the three girls in my group and Bob, the guy who runs all of the tournaments. The first hole was a par 5 and i got there in 2 but narrowly lipped out for eagle. but i still made birdie. this was a great start to already a great round.

To be continued……

Once upon a time there was a door that was red, and it looked like a door. The door had a doorknob on it. When you would go to open the door there would be a loud horn that basically broke your ear drums. After the door was open you could go look inside but all you would see is darkness, and a set of stairs that led downward. On the side of the wall there was a sign that said walk down if you dare. The person who walked down the stairs was a middle-aged man who was looking for a bathroom, so he had seen the door. After that. The man had seen the door he opened it broke his ear drums, then tripped on the very first stair making him tumble down the stair for about 1 minute. After he got to the bottom, he was now not only having to go to the bathroom he also felt dizzy like if he was drunk, after he got up or at least he tried to get, but that failed and ended up with him wetting his pants/hitting his head on the wall knocking himself out. Some time went by, and the man woke up to find himself propped up against the the red door with his head bleeding and he was confused on for he got out of that ugly dingy old hall, then he realized that he was bleeding out and would soon die.

My best friends name is Savana, she’s soo pretty and has the coolest style, me and Savana met through her boyfriend when I moved school and we started talking a whole bunch, we finally hungout after so many cancels because I was scared to meet her but we ended up clicking and hanging out with each other all the time and being a third child to her family, it was one of those friendships that come into your life when you need them most and this one is one i’m definitely grateful for because she doesn’t judge me and is like a mini me and doesn’t put me last, we hangout every Friday and normally sleep over at her house and wonder around lang, its a really good way to end the week and to not go home and get out a little bit and its a way to not feel like everything is falling apart and everyone is against you but I will forever be grateful that I have a friend like Savana who kinda just shoved her way into my life and is now one of the most important parts of my life and one I cant forget

One of the most recent runway shows I watched was the VETEMENTS Spring/Summer 2025 collection. The whole show was a mix of streetwear and high fashion, with models like Stella Maxwell, Barbara Palvin, and Anok Yai, each bringing their own energy and style to the runway. Stella Maxwell walked in a deconstructed lace dress, which showed VETEMENTS’ ability to combine streetwear with high-fashion. The collection featured oversized pieces, unexpected fabric combinations, which created contrast between luxury and streetwear.

The show was not just about the clothes, but about the attitude the models had and their self-expression. It was so fun to watch, and it showcased how fashion can be both bold and elegant, making a statement.

It’s hard for me to say exactly where my dream vacation would be. I want to travel almost everywhere. However, It is an enormous dream of mine to visit Monaco and France. I love Formula One, so getting the opportunity to watch an F1 race in Monaco would be my biggest dream. Witnessing the thrill of watching 20 cars zoom around a track is such a big dream of mine. I have loved France since I was little, so visiting Paris or Nice would be like a childhood dream. They are both so beautiful and have fascinating culture that I love to learn about. I love how Monaco is very luxurious and peaceful. Nice is another place I want to visit; It offers a blend of history, culture and stunning natural beauty. It has a charming old town with narrow streets and vibrant colours. Of course, the places I have listed are expensive, so that is why they will probably stay a dream until I am much older, but I still love to think about it.

Baking has always intrigued me, and now it is one of my favorite hobbies. Its so fun turning simple ingredients; like flour, sugar, and eggs into scrumptious treats. The prosses can be a little stressful but seeing the final result gives me a good felling of accomplishment. Baking has a mix of creativity and accuracy, you need to follow the recipes and measure ingredients properly, but there is also room to experiment with flavors and decorations.

Baking is a way for me to express myself, and I enjoy trying new recipes or perfecting old ones. The best part is sharing my baked goods with family and  seeing their reactions. It’s rewarding to know something I made can taste good, considering I’m not a perfectional baker.

As of this year, I’ve learned to bake so many treats. I can make: chocolate chip  cookies, brownies, muffins, cupcakes, cake, bread, loafs, and I would love to try making a pie next!

Each time I bake, I become so much more confident inn my skills, and I’m exited to continue learning and experimenting in the kitchen. Baking has become a fun way to explore new recipes, be creative, and grow as a baker.

 

the feeling of christmas 

The scent of pine trees so fresh and green,

adorned with twinkle lights of a golden gleam
Cookies baking, warm and sweet
The crunch of snow beneath my feet.

A fire crackling, with the stockings hung,

children waiting for midnight to come

cookies and carrots laid out front,

for santa will be coming with a thump

stars that glimmer throughout the night

oh, christmas spirit so cheerful and bright

These little things that bring Christmas alive ,
And fill my heart with a feeling of light

Since I was little I have always loved Vallarta, it was one of my favorite places to go with my family, friends or close ones. When I go with my family we used to stay in the house of my Grandparents because they have a house there. We used to go each weekend or each festivity to Vallarta and we used to stay there but since like 2019 – 2020 my parents where working on a really big proyect to built our own trip house in Vallarta. Because some stuff came my parents could not built the house but they bought a department where we bought all the furniture and it was so fun to go there and see each time the improvement they had done. Now when we go to Vallarta we go to our department and we are so happy there, it has a lot of amazing things to do like our department goes to the beach so its in front of the ocean and we can see the beach every day, it also has 3 pools and 1 of those is so awesome because it is super deep. They also have 3 jacuzzis with different temperature so one is very hot, the other not that much and the last one is hot but little kids can go in. I think that buying that department was one of the best ideas my parents have had and I enjoy going every weekend we can go. I also go to Vallarta that much because from Guadalajara to Vallarta we do like 3 hours so is not that much, we used to do like 5 hours and with traffic like 6-7 hours, even one day I did like 8-9 hours because there was so much traffic.

when I was little we used to live in a yellow little house in downtown, it was in a super pretty neighbourhood and was near a beach I don’t remember it much because I was only a baby but my dad would take me for drives and we would pass it, it was a very pretty house. We moved out of that house and moved into a house that was up the road from where I live now the only memory I have there is driving an electric car around with my brother and trying to swerve it out of the road before a car came and hit it. the house we live in now I’ve remembered the most because I’ve lived in it the longest, its a nice house is kinda big but not many places to hangout, the backyard is on a slant because people put the pipes in weird so we had to dig up the pipes re do them and start again. we have plans to put in a bunch of new things like a fire pit and stuff because most the time people spend time outside because the living room gets stuffy fast and it annoying

Fiji

My parents have been planning a graduation trip for my sister for a while we were original going to Greece however the flights were very expensive. So then we found Fiji it was a fourth of the price for a flight and very pretty and nice. We are going to the amazing beaches there and it is going to be so relaxing we are planning to go in the summer for 2 weeks. We are going to snorkel and rent a boat and much more. My hole family is planning to come there will be 13 of us all in the same house it will be amazing. The weather is going to be around 30 degrees which is so hot and the water will be very crystal clear and perfect for swimming.

I have been to Hawaii every year since I was a few months old. Sometimes, we go twice a year; other times, we go once. For me, Hawaii is like a second home. My dad surfs, so he taught my sister and I how to surf when we were younger, which I still love to do. My favourite beach is Pipeline because I love to watch others surf. Most of the time, we spend one week in Waikiki, and the other week is spent on the North Shore.  I prefer the North Shore because it’s quieter and has fewer people. I love Hawaii because of its simple lifestyle and breathtaking nature. The warm temperature year-round and the slight ocean breeze make me extremely happy. Not to forget Hawaii’s beautiful culture and how rich it is in history. I am so lucky I get to visit such a beautiful place every year. Hawaii is often described as Paradise on Earth, which I completely agree with because not only is it special to me, but it is extremely beautiful.

For Christmas, I’m going to go up to Alberta to see my family. Last year we brought up a tube (for a lake) It is practically garbage because there are no seats since Aron ripped them off, but I’m going to get my cousins to go on it to make sure it’s safe before I go on I also want to see them struggle ( Trevor 28, Isaac24). I can’t wait to see my aunt’s dog, (Jack)  I don’t know what breed he is but he is very cuddly. my aunt got a kitten named Murk he is a tuxedo kitty. I can’t wait to leave.

In this short reading of two-hundred words you will learn how to win the lottery. The first most used way I would say to win the lottery is just to buy a lottery ticket and hope that you win but of corse the chances of that happening are very low. The next best way to win the lottery is just to to spend lots and lots of money to make sure that you 100% win the lottery and then when you win all that money that you put into winning the lottery will get paid back to you. But this will only work if you go for the lottery with more money. Another one of the ways to win the lottery is to hack into the numbers but of corse I strongly do not recommend this because it will probably get you arrested. The third way that you could win the lottery is to make sure that you actually want to win the lottery because if you don’t than you just read all of this for no reason also this is not really a way that you could win the lottery. The forth way is that you can bribe the guy that is picking the numbers with the money that you win but then you have to hope that he will give you the right numbers l give you the right numbers and not just scamming you because if the guy that you were trying to bribe with the money you wins ends up scamming you that would sure be a funny story to tell in you future after you get over being embarrassed.

My experience in Canada. I am really liking being here in Canada this is my first time being in Canada and when I first arrived I went to Vancouver it was so pretty and me and my family walked most of Vancouver in 1 day because we started at 8 am and went back to my hotel at 1 am i was so tired. But I first went to Stanley park and walked around and the I found a really pretty place to eat breakfast so me and my family stop there then we explore Vancouver and i found a store  I wanted to enter but there was a line of 1 and a half hour to entere so me and my mom waited and sadly the store didn’t had a lot of clothes so i just bought 2 things . Then some days later i came here to victoria and when  i arrived i went immediately to downtown and saw the parliament. Days after my parents left me here in Brooke’s first i was so nervous but then I started to make friends here and I saw that the people here is so nice and I started  to enjoy being here sadly I am not coming back in January because my school in Guadalajara didn’t let me but i really enjoy being here .

I recently went to Kelowna for a hockey tournament. It was cool to see the kinds of teams that we played and the teams that were outside BC. We had some trouble choosing to fly or if we wanted to drive but we chose to fly because the roads had ice every where. The flight there was fine and we got to stay in Calgary for a bit which was fun. The best part of the trip was winning the gold medal game I was so exited because it is the first time I have won gold in a tournament. The interesting part was when we had got on the flight to Victoria I noticed that my arms were itching but I did not think much of it because it was during the flight. When we got home it was really itching so I took off my jacket and I saw that my arms were very red. We did not know what it was but later we did some research and realized I had caught hives. This was confusing because we did not know where I had got it. But I had some medicine and when I woke up it was better. This was a new but interest experience because I have never gotten hives before.

the color pink

Pink is the blush of a morning sky

A rose’s petal as it drifts by.

It’s as sweet as a peony’s blossoming hue

It’s the shimmer of sunset

in the summer at noon

 from flowers to ribbons that wrap with grace

the color pink i shall always embrace

 

 

Before I came here to Canada my parents decide to go to las vegas I was really exited. When we arrived it was so hot and I was in pants so i change in the airport bathroom . I arrive at my hotel and I was so surprised the hotel was so pretty and big also what i didn’t know is that every hotel has a casino inside so I went to see the casinos it was so big and colorful there were light everywhere and lots of people also what I notice is that the people dress so extravagant and weird. In the night i went and walk around it was so pretty and there were so much lights and there were people dress up . After I went to  a show that its called awakening and i really liked it there were magic tricks and the show was about a story i dont remember of what it was the story but i liked it . I went to the sphere it was so fun the show there was it was so awesome and also there was a robot that could keep a conversation . Then i went shopping with my mom i bought a wallet and a bag also some clothes. I really liked las Vegas i did walked a lot but it was so fun.

I started playing basketball just casually like at recess when I was in 6th grade, and then decided to join the basketball team. I did OK, but it was grade 6 basketball so the gameplay wasn’t good anyway. I certainly wasn’t the best on the team, nor was I even close, I did not know how to play very well, and didn’t get passed to often. However I was good on defense, so that was what I stuck to. In grade 6, when I joined, I think I dropped 1 basket (2 points) the entire season. I joined in grade 7 too, and I practiced more, and thought i was getting better, but throughout the whole season I didn’t score a single basket. After that, I switched schools from Shoreline to Brookes and I joined the team in grade 8. Let’s just say it was not good. I did not do well, and I got made fun of by the other people on the team for not doing anything. So, in grade 9, I did not join the basketball team. despite kind of wanting to, I knew I wouldn’t do anything. But lately I have started to play basketball at lunch, and have been improving a lot more, so know knows, I might get a lot better and join the team next year

The mike Tyson and Jake Paul fight. On the weekend i watched a boxing match between mike Tyson and jake Paul mike Tyson being a legend who is a 60 year old man and a jake Paul being a young social media star. This fight was very hyped up everywhere there was millions of people watching and the two boxers were making 20 to 40 million for taking place in this fight. The fight ended up being very boring and possibly staged it was a big disappointment to me and many people watching. Everyone also thinks it is very messed up that someone so young is fighting a old man it seems so unfair to Mike Tyson and it was sad to see him get beat up and have so many struggles in the ring just because of his age.

One of the sports I do is skiing. I have been skiing for 7 years now with my family and with different clubs/teams. I started skiing at our local mountain, and have skied some other different places but I would love to explore and ski Europe. My dad grew up skiing and thought it wild be something fun for my family, but at first my brother and I hated it, after a year or two we started to like it and improved enough to start clubs and travel teams. Skiing is one of the sports that makes me feel calm (most of the time) but I also just love being in the snow and hanging out with my friends for a weekend in the snow. I have gotten very used to our local mountain and we know everyone, everything and all the trails. I love taking my friends around and showing them things and taking my dog for walks in the snow.

I really want it to be black Friday. I really want to go shopping with my mom’s money and get amazing discounts. My mom is taking me and we are both excited to go shopping. I want to go to many different stores like sport check (they have amazing offers, and I need new snowboarding gear) I also want to go to mayfair and get new clothes and stuff. I might also do some online shopping. Maybe get new shoes, or a new laptop! I’ am really excited.
