A letter to the future me,

This I have been making a letter to the future me.  We had to include our goals and aspirations as a 10 or 9 year old.  Here is my story.  I hope you like reading it.

Dear Future me,

By the time you read this many years will have passed.  In fact you will be turning 25 years old.  This is a little reminder of what your goals, dreams and aspirations were as an 9 year old.

Let’s start with your career.  The plan was to work really hard at school and went to university to be a narrator.  You would have made amazing stories that people sell all over the world.  You could be a famous narrator that would have made over a hundred amazing stories.

You were also interested in sports.  You wanted to be a volleyball player.  Your goals was to make a team of girls to compete in the olympics and win the volleyball world cup 3 years in a row.  You also wanted to be a hockey player.  You wanted to be in the New Zealand blacks sticks hockey team.

You also want to travel around the world.  You wanted to go to Gold Coast Australia, Los Angeles, Eiffel tower in paris, the statue of liberty in New York and Florida.

After all that traveling you are going to be settling down in Christchurch where you will live with partner in a house and planning on getting married and having 2 children.

I hope you receive this letter in good health and I am looking forward to our life together.

Yours Sincerely,

9 Year old me

Earthquake DLO

A loud noise woke me up from my sleep.  It was in Christchurch Monday 14 November at 12:00am there was an earthquake.  Good thing I was fast asleep in the house with my parents and my sister and no one was hurt.  The earthquakes was about 7.2% to 6.6%.

I have got some advice if you in a earthquake.  First if you feel like there is an earthquake you need to go under a table or a chair and drop, cover and hold on to the table, it is called a turtle position. Do not face the windows so you won't get hurt if the windows break.

You should also have a survival kit.  You should always have a parent or caregiver with you.

This is the earthquake damage to the roads.

A Great Party

In the school holidays, on Saturday 1st of October my family, my families friends and I had a big, humongous party, it was held in our house.  The party was to celebrate a Filipino tradition.  

I woke up 8:00 am, I got up and prepared for the party.  My mum said I have to  get ready fast.  My sister was still sleeping, I got prepared I picked out a cool dressed and went to the bath and got dressed.  I tied up my hair so it doesn’t get in my face.

I went outside and my mum was cooking I helped her cook.  I chopped carrots, peeled potatoes, minced mushrooms and prepared the table.  After that I helped my dad to prepare the billiard for the boys.  Next I set up games for parents and children, it took my an hour to set games up.  After that I took a nap.

When my mum woke me up and my friends and my parents friends were here.  I asked them if they can play with me and they said yes.  So we went outside to play we played races, duck goose, tag, octopus and we played on our bikes.  After that we had a rest and play cards.  We played snap and my sister always wins .

After playing cards my dad called all of the kid to vs each other in billard.  I was first up I was vs a boy he is a friend.  After in the start I got a 3 balls in the hole.  And he got nothing.   I was winning there was one more ball he tried to put it in the hole but it didn’t go in so I got it in.  After that no one wanted to vs me so I just went inside the house.

Now it was time to eat my mum bought 14 pizza for everyone I went for the cheeze pizza because I like it. After that we had some dessert I had ice cream, cookies and cupcakes. We also had some cooked pig it is a part of filipino tradition.  Finally we had a cake I ran to the cake a it was so tall I couldn’t even reach it my parents and my parents friends cut it and we ate it all up till it was gone it tasted really yummy.

When we were done eating I asked my friends mother if they could have a sleepover at my house and she said yes.  Finally everyone left and went home, except for my friends family and my dad’s mates they were sleeping at our house.

Conclusion:

I like the party and I felt really happy and quiet sad because my other friends left to go back home but I had a great night and a wonderful day.  I was tired and sleepy it was very late so I had a long sleep.
