Rodeo!

Hey, everyone! Two weeks ago we went to the N.P.B.R. Rodeo because it was coming through town. It was the finals! The top 45 bull riders in the N.P.B.R. were there. It was awsome! There were some REALLY good rides and some really bad ones where people only stayed on for a 1 or 2 seconds. There were painful looking ones and there were funny ones. I filmed one of the rides with our digital camera while we were there. Here it is:

They had really good home made beef jerky and old fashioned candy sticks. My mom, dad, and housekeeper are watching what they eat so when my dad and I came back from the concession stand to get some cotton candy and nachos, my mom and housekeeper were questioning him and asking him if he had munched down a cheeseburger on the way back. Of course, he said he didn't. Then he went off for about a half an hour on his own during the rodeo--who knows what he ate then...

In the middle of the rodeo when they took a break, they had a "calf cash grab" or something for all the kids under 12 so I joined in--or rather, my mom made me join. Turns out it was pretty fun! There was a ring tied on a calf's tail. There were three calves and probably anywhere from 50 to 90 kids. The goal was to grab the ring off the calf's tail and bring it to the rodeo clown. The winner would get cash. It was chaos! It was like a stampede! It was hard running in my Crocs because they don't grip like sneakers would and they don't like to stay on my feet. But, I was able to just touch the ring on the calf's tail then this Mexican kid grabbed it right off its tail and ran to the clown. He won. It was really fun except for the two times I got trampled. The first time, I ran over a kid then everyone tripped over us. The second time, someone stepped on the back of my Crocs and tripped me. After that, it was all down hill from there. I probably swallowed about a pound of dirt during that event.

Well, I have to log onto Roblox! Bye!

Bulldogs

I can't post pictures of my face or my family's face but that doesn't mean I can't post pictures of my dogs! I have two English bulldogs, Otto, and Lily. They're both three and a half and they are brother and sister from the same litter. Otto is the male and Lily is the female. Here are some pictures of them:

This is a picture of Otto's face lying in the grass. He spends about
80% of his day sleeping, 10% of his day playing and walking around the house, and 10% of his day looking around the floor for food that we drop. He likes to follow me around EVERYWHERE! He likes me the most then my Dad then my Mom. He is definetly a kid dog. He plays a lot more than Lily does.

This is a picture of Lily lying with her face in the grass. Honestly, she has to be the laziest dog I've ever seen. She spends probably around 97% of her day sleeping, and three percent eating. That's all she does! She doesn't like it when people get close to her face or she growls. She used to be a kid dog before we left for Jordan but when we came back to the U.S. and got her she wasn't a real kid dog. Maybe some kid hit her or something and now she thinks that all kids will hit her. She loves my dad the most.

This is a picture of the two of them in our front yard. When we got them when we came to the U.S. they didn't really remember each other and didn't seem to like each other but now they have warmed up to each other again and now Lily even goes into Otto's bed at night!

This is a good picture of their faces. Otto doesn't like to look people in the eye and both of them are very camera shy. We got this picture when I was eating my bagel for breakfast and my dad came up behind the couch and took a picture of them.

So, those are my dogs! I have to log onto Roblox and check my e-mail now, so, check back tomorrow!

On the Range

Hey, everybody! Sorry I haven't posted for a while. I haven't e-mailed for a while either and I feel bad about it. Today I finished my work early and now my mom said that I have to do a blog post or two (counts for my creatitve writing, you know) and answer all my e-mails (which is probably around 20). So, I've got my work cut out for me!

Listen to this. After I got grounded we stayed at the beach house for a couple days then we packed up and drove two hours to my Tita Sas' house where we were going to stay for a few days to visit with them. My Lolo said before that we (my mom, dad, and I) were going to be able to go to the gun range on that Sunday and shoot his guns there but when we got there a security company was using the whole range for training or something. The lucky thing is, that they didn't start until later and we were able to go to the range. I got to shoot a Bushmaster M4 semi-automatic, a 22 caliber Sig Sauer handgun, a 40 caliber Sig Sauer handgun and a 40 caliber Glock. It was so awsome! My mom took some pictures of me with her iPhone when we were there and I put them in this post so you can see.

That's my dad in the green sweater and that's me shooting the Bushmaster.

This one is a good one of me shooting the Bushmaster. It was more powerful than I thought.

I think this is the 40 caliber Glock in this picture but I'm not sure.

This is my Lolo demonstrating proper shooting technique with the, I think, 22 caliber Sig Sauer. Compared to the other guns, the 22 is like a cap gun. We actually used all the ammo for the 22.

This is a picture of me shooting the 40 caliber Sig Sauer. That one had a pretty good kick. It was just less than the Bushmaster.

Speaking of guns, while we were in Connetticut, I bought my first BB gun! It's a Pumpmaster 760 with a maximum FPS of 600. I use the metal BBs with it. I'm a pretty good shot actually.

There's a lot of stuff that I'm gonna tell you about like iPods, moving, getting a house, birthday, rodeo, and lots more. I can only do one post per day, so, you'll have to wait! LOL!! Actually, check back regularly now that I'm back on track!

Signing On!

Hey everybody! I'm back on the computer now! I have TONS and TONS to tell you about from the last month! It'll probably take me four or five posts in all just to cover it! Well, I only have half an hour left on the computer until I have to get off for the night and I have lots to do, so bye!

Signing Off (for now)...

Hi everybody,

I've got some bad news. I got in trouble earlier today and am now grounded from the computer for a whole month after this post. So, I won't be blogging, e-mailing or TOUCHING any computer AT ALL until December 1st. You can still leave a comment on my blog but I won't be able to respond 0r publish untill then. I'm also not allowed to play Club Penguin until further notice. It really sucks.

Without going into too much detail, I gave away online log in information and passwords that I shouldn't have because they could have been tied to my parents' credit card. On top of that, I did it without telling my parents first. That was NOT a good idea. As you can imagine, my mom flipped. My dad would've flipped even more but, luckily, my mom made some calls (before he got home) and straightened things out before anything really bad happened. Good thing because otherwise I'd probably be grounded until New Year's. I always saw those signs that say "Never give away your password! Not even to your best friend!" or "Don't give it away, it's yours" and I didn't really think much of them at all--until now. My parents made it clear and I see now why it was so wrong. Belive me, I learned the hard way.

So guys, don't EVER, under ANY circumstances, share your password with ANYONE. I promise you that you will get yourself into more trouble than you think. Well, I'll post when I'm un-grounded! Signing off (for now)...

...And Crash Goes the Kite!

We took our parafoil kite that our friends gave us out to the beach today because we thought the wind was strong. We did get it up but then...just take a look at these pictures:

This is a picture of the kite. It's a nice 2' x by 2' . The tail is super long. Our friends gave it to us on my younger brother's birthday so he likes to tell everyone that it's his.

This is my Dad and my younger brother on the beach flying the kite. That looks nice.

I took a lot more pictures but all of them show me or my family up close so I can't show them. I also made a video of the kite doing big loops then crashing but Blogger says that there was an error so I can't upload it. But belive me, it crashed. Anyway, I'll see if I can post more tomorrow! Bye!

Update!

Well, my Grandpa and I are getting over a cold or fever or something. I'm feeling pretty good today but I still have rustling in my lungs. My Grandpa is not feeling well. He jokingly said,"I came all the way up here just to feel horrible!" He'll be here untill Saturday and is enjoying it even though he feels kinda' sick. He thinks he probably picked it up on the plane.

Today my Lolo, Lola, and Tita (that's grandpa, grandma, and aunt in the Tagolog--or Philippine--language) came up to visit for the day. Unfortunately, it was overcast on the Cape. Here are some pictures of what it looked like today.

This is a picture of the house from the beach. You can only see the roof beyond the deck because it sits protected behind the sand dune.

This is a view from the deck stairs looking out at the ocean. I thought it was cool. It looks like a picture postcard to me, no? Okay, nevermind.

These waves don't look big but for Cape Cod, they're HUGE! Usually, the waves here are the size of ripples that form when you throw a rock.

You wouldn't belive how long I was squating on the beach snapping pictures just to get this one! I wanted to get a picture of a big wave cresting but every time I thought I had it, it crashed. Anyway, I got one!

Here's a video of the waves. They still don't look big. But, belive me, they're big!

Here are some pictures from the other day when it was sunny and nice.

Doesn't that look like classic Cape Cod?

My brothers and I playing at sunset. I'm the one in black.

This is what the house looks like on a sunny day. I think it's nice.

Well, that's all I have for now! I have to go get some more wood for the fireplace so, talk to you later!
