Korean Drums

Yesterday I saw a Korean drum dance. It was a long performance, but it was fun. It was at the U.A.E. University where dad teaches. The drum group has three girls and two boys. It was a very nice performance. Did you know that the people carrying the drums were dancing? They were swinging the ribbon on their hat in circles.

My Friend Lewis

Lewis and I

If you want to see how Lewis and I are alike, read this. We both have two nationalities. Our dads are American and our moms are from Asia. We like to watch the same kind of movies. We watch Indiana Jones and Star Wars movies together. We both like to go to the rugby club. At the rugby club we play rugby. We both like to eat grilled turkey sandwiches at the rugby club. Now you see how we are alike.

Cairo Rugby Tour

Before

We are going to Cairo on Thursday for a rugby tournament. While we are in Cairo, we are going to see the pyramids. There are two kinds of pyramids, the straight-sided pyramid and the step pyramid. We are going to see the Great Pyramid at Giza, a straight-sided pyramid. I hope we see the Sphinx.

Did you know that Lower Egypt is actually in the north? Cairo is in Lower Egypt.

After

We went to Egypt. In Egypt, my brother and I played in a rugby tournament. At the rugby tournament my team and I won first, but my brother’s team came in second. Do you want to know what I got for winning? I got a T-shirt, a medal, and a pyramid, and I will get a picture for the wall.

On the next day we saw the Pyramids of Giza. We even got to see the Sphinx. Be careful there are a lot of beggars. The beggars trick you. They trick you by asking “Can I take the picture?” and you let them and they ask for money.

We took so many planes and buses. We rode five buses and two planes. My brother likes to ride planes just to get the food, but I just like to relax and watch TV, if they have TV’s.

Traveling In The Philippines

Tuesday January 20

We went to Fort Santiago. Fort Santiago is in Manila. There were so many dungeons. The Japanese put the Filipinos and the Americans in the dungeons. At Fort Santiago, we saw Rizal’s furniture and jail cell. Rizal is a Filipino hero who the Spanish shot. Rizal was born on the 19th of June 1861. He wrote a book called Noli Me Tangere and the Spanish got angry.

Thursday January 22

I saw a movie called Bedtime Stories. In Bedtime Stories there was a man that figured out that when the kids tell the story it would come true. It was funny. The guinea pig’s eyes were so big.

Sunday January 25

We visited my great grandparents. They live in Pasig in Manila. I have only one living great grandpa. My grandpa and me are the same height. I am taller than my great grandma. Their house was small like it was one room. My grandpa was a carpenter a long time ago. He built the second floor of his house by himself. I call my grandparents Nanay and Tatay, which means mother and father.

Monday January 26

On Chinese New Year we went to Calamba, Laguna. I sang on my great uncle’s karaoke and I got four perfect scores. It is the year of the ox.

Wednesday January 28

We had a blessing at my parent’s office. A blessing is to bless every one to give them good luck at their work. The priest came and splashed holy water in each corner. I had to hold a candle and wax burned my hand. At the blessing my mom threw so many 5 peso coins and I got 255 pesos.

Thursday January 29

I watched a movie called Beverly Hills Chihuahua. In Beverly Hills Chihuahua there was a rich dog. She has a friend that used to be a police dog. He lost his job because he lost his scent. It was very funny. For example a dog said " I never brushed my teeth before it tastes minty. I call it meaty."

Friday January 30

I went to Pixie Forest at the Festival Mall in Alabang. Pixie Forest is an arcade. I played so many games and rode two rides. I played a game called Spin-N-Win and I won199 tickets. My brother and I rode the Elfin Waves. The Elfin Waves is a ride. You sit in a log and go up and down very fast. We got a little wet.
