Escape room: Prison break!

My friend Sophia and I went to the Red Door escape room in Hillsdale mall! It was the first time that Sophia had played an escape room game.  A game tourist named Gabi helped guide us through the rules. After we watched a few background videos, we went inside the room. We were playing "Prison Break," a series of rooms that are part of a "prison" that we will have to escape. There was a hint button, and we could use that three times. For every extra we use, we add 3 minutes.  When we went into the room, there were two huge items: A toilet and a table. There was a mat on the stone table with a weird symbol on it. Under the table was a medium-sized black box with a combination lock securing it. "So, we need to find four numbers for this answer," Sophia said. There was also a rock inscribed: "for wa rd s/asH." There were tons of tally marks on the wall, four numbers, and forwarding slashes! Sophia entered the code 7946 and the box opened! It included...

Sledding at South Lake Tahoe (Christmas break/special)

Image
Yesterday, we planned to go to Heavenly Valley to sled. Unfortunately, the snow was too thick for us to go sledding there, so we decided to go to a place where there was a tiny hill for sledding.  When I got to the sledding hill, I realized that the snow was quite soft. But as I walked in the snow, I started to fall in the snow! Deep footprints sunk in the dense snow. I followed my mom's tracks, and I finally made it to the other side of freshly fallen snow.  I dragged my sled up the hill onto the lower side. Suddenly, my dad appeared in the back of me. I was a little frightened by him, but I wanted to sled this instant, so I quickly sat in the neon blue and yellow sled. With my hands tightening the rope attached to my sled, my dad pushed me off the hill, and I slid down. At first, I was scared. But then, as if I were flying, I felt delighted.  After the first slide, I wanted more. But this time, I tried to go down the slightly higher mountain of snow. I slid down with ma...

Would you want to transform into a bird for times?

Image
 I would want to transform into a bird sometimes. Being a bird has some advantages I would like to have.  As a bird, I can fly. I had a desire when I was tiny to fly like a magic fairy! I covet watching aspects of buildings and other things from above. If I were a hummingbird or a songbird, I would hang around my house and get pollen or sing songs. My dad likes hummingbirds, and my mom likes to take pictures of songbirds in the yard. I also enjoy music, so if I choose between a songbird and a hummingbird, I would prefer to be a songbird. Of course, I would also enjoy being a hummingbird. They fly super fast and can stay in the air without moving.  Birds spread seeds, and that is good for the environment. I like to be a person that helps the environment fill will green plants and trees, elegant and bright-colored flowers, and other particular sprout types. The most that I desire from birds is their feathers.  Most birds can stay cool in the summer and warm in the...

Here are some things that I drew: Hope you guys like it!  (These are just a small portion, I will keep trying and upload whenever I am done with another drawing!) By the way, I have a comic book that I made that is almost done. I might be done next year or something, but stay tuned!

Would you rather turn into a dog or a cat?

Image
Would you rather turn into a flexible and adorable cat or a mature and handsome dog? Here are some facts and personal opinions that you can refer to when you make your decision. First of all, cats are very nimble and can jump on sofas and other obstacles relatively quickly. Being very flexible and active can turn into an advantage when other animals try to bite you. For instance, when a dog is trying to bite you, you can immediately jump on a safe surface, ensure that the dog cannot reach you, and WALA! You are safe.  Another fact is that a cat is much more graceful than a dog. Cats can lay down in the sun all day and roll on their owner's lap. But if you were a dog, you would hop in your cage. Did you know that a cat mostly lands on its feet? Even if you fall from a high surface, there is a good chance that you will land on your feet, but if you were a dog, you won't. Now... after a bit of purrr-fect facts, let us move on to the dog facts! Dogs are loyal, handsome, and brave. ...

What is my favorite candy?

Image
My favorite type of candy is Sour Patch Kids.  Let me first tell you about Sour Patch Kids. They were originally invented by Frank Galatolie in the early 1970s. In the late 1970s, Cadbury and the $meera Blyton Licorice formed a Candy Company in Hamilton, Ontario, and Canada, to produce Sour Patch Kids. The motto of Sour Patch Kids was invented in 1985. When they invented that, Sour Patch Kids hit the U.S. market, and they quickly became a success. Now I will tell you why I like this type of sour candy. First of all, Sour Patch Kids are both sour and sweet. This way, I can taste both sour and sweet! (Although I prefer sour more). This includes a part of their motto: "Sour, then sweet!" It has an excellent balance between sour and sweet. That is why I like it. Another fact about them is that they are soft and chewy. Being soft and chewy is especially helpful for eating it during a movie because you won’t make any noise with your chewing. You can enjoy a fun snack while not havi...

Autumn

Image
Leaves become red and yellow as if someone painted on it. I see a tall tree with rough, hard bark. The leaves sway as the wind blow. I see unusual, red, spiky roses that I like to grow in my garden. I see birds playing, like me, playing with my friends. I hear people in the apartment, opening the garage. I also listen to the leaves that were there in the middle of summer. The autumn leaves there are falling from trees that turned yellow, orange, and red as if someone painted on the leaves on the tree. I smell Aloe, which smelled like grass that we mowed. I smell my backyard apples, refreshing as mint. I tasted my apple. They were as sweet as a piece of chocolate in the middle of Candyland. I tasted my oranges. It was refreshing as being in the fridge in the middle of the summer. I feel the rough, caramel tree bark in the front of my house. I touched the soft autumn leaves that stood in a pile on the sidewalk. I jumped in and laughed, like an otter in the ocean. I stepped on grass, shiv...

Recycling is important because...

Image
You may have heard recycling here and there, and today, I will let you know more about recycling on the Earth.  Recycling is a method that includes the collection and breaking down waste material to create something new out of it. We need recycling for many reasons.  Recycling saves a lot of energy because many things that we recycle can easily be converted into a variety of items we require. We can convert used plastic bottles into flower pots and use glass bottles to make into pencil boxes.  The more recycling, the more we can help the population of animal species, specifically the ones in the ocean. Because  recycling reduces the amount of toxic that is put into the ocean and buried in the ground.  It assists us to save our planet. The recycled material can be rented/sold. We use this recycled material for many new products. So, eventually, recycling also saves money. Paper is the most popular m...
