::: A Busy Weekend :::

It was a busy day for me and my uncle's family yesterday because we went to China Town to buy some grocery. It was weekend, so I got up late. After that I watched a movie such as "Black Holes 2006". This movie is good for me because I love science fiction, and I want to find out about space. When my aunt got home from work, we went to China Town. The traffic was not bad, but the weather was not good. I loved the weather like last week. It took 45 minutes to get there. After we bought some grocery at Tan Tin Hung supermarket, we had a dinner at Vietnamese restaurant. We ordered some spring rolls, a bowl of noodles and beef, a bowl of Hue beef noodle soup and a bowl of special noodles. They were delicious. I have never been there for few months. When we got there, I liked a lot because it was crowded, and I loved to take a walk. We went back home after dinner. It was 8:00 p.m. We had a great time together.

::: Go Back To Take A Bus :::

I have never thought that it will happen soon because my car has broken for few days. It is at the repair shop now. I am so upset about this. I do not think I will take a bus again because I have a car. I think that NEVER SAY NEVER. My car is overheated. I had to swing by the repair shop on my way home from school in the evening. I told to mechanic about my car because I told him that I want to have it as soon as possible, but he said that it takes a week because he is busy right now. He has a lot of cars to repair. I felt so upset when I heard that. However, I told him that please do the best you can. He said, "OK. I will try". Because I work at the library, I finish my job late, that is why I need a car.

::: Music & Lyrics :::

A scene from the film in which Alex and Sophie try to write "Way Back into Love".


Today I watched the movie “Music and Lyrics” in my class. I was delighted to watch it because it made me feel happy. When my teacher told the class that we had to write a paragraph what would happen in the future from beginning to Alex met Sophie at high school’s party, I guessed Alex would fall in love with Sophie. At the end of the movie I was so happy because both of them understood each other. I knew it because I saw them kiss backstage. I hope that they will marry.

::: I Like These Movies :::

Yesterday I watched some movies "Home Alone 3 and 4" and I liked these movies a lot. The child in these movies was very smart. His name was Alex, and he was so cute. His tried to protect his house from some burglars. At the end of the movies he won the burglars, and they had to go to jail.

After taking a break, I watched a true movie like "A Beautiful Mind". When I was watching the movie, it made me so exciting because I wanted to find out what John was doing. He was crazy about math, this point made he had a mental illness after he won the Nobel Prize in 1994. He always thought about Parcher was a real person. John thought that he was working for the U.S. government. That was why he was fooling every day. When he became a teacher at Princeton University. At this place, he met Alicia, then she became his wife. A day she recognized her husband had a mental illness, so she tried to help him to overcome it. At the end of the movie he taught math at Harvard University. However, sometimes he saw Parcher showed up in front of him, and he knew this guy was not a real person. The movie was having a happy ending. Finally, John lived in a happy family with Alicia.

::: Circus :::


Last Friday I went to circus at my cousins' school. I went there with my uncle's family. It took 20 minutes to get there from our house. There were a lot of people in there. I was so excited with music because music was very good, and one of my favorite is I love to listen to music. I like any kind of music. At first, we watched Chinese Yo Yo. I watched lots of Chinese Yo Yo on T.V before, but this was the first time I have watched children performed. I love American children because they are so cute. There were a lot of circus act such as Plate Spinning, Devil Sticks, Ball Blance, Spinning Carpet, Bongo Boards, Pirates and Lemonade Clown. One of my favorite circus act was Lemonade Clown because a clown looked very funny. This was a kid, not an adult. We had a great time together.

::: A Sad Movie :::

Today I watched a movie "Dead Poet's Society". This movie was very sad because Neil wanted to be an actor but he could not. His father, Tom was a very strict person. Tom wanted his son to become a doctor, but his son did not want to be a doctor. His son wanted to become an actor. At the end of the movie was very sad. Because his son could not make his dream came true, he killed himself. In my opinion, I thought his father was so selfish. He did not think about what his son was thinking about. This movie liked the movie "Bend It Like Beckham" that I watched before.

Yesterday I had a great time. I did not have to go to work. I stayed home and I did something I liked such as I watched some movies.

::: Museum Of Art :::



I remembered that I went to museum in New York City with my uncle's family last year. It is called The Metropolitan Museum Of Art. That is a big museum that I never see in my life. I was very happy to get there because I would like to know about American museum, and how it was interesting. However, my uncle's family bought tickets were more expensive than me because I had a student ID, I just paid half of price. After we went into the museum, we took a lot of pictures in there, and it took a day for us to go around into the museum. Everybody had a great time in there, it was special for me because that was a first time I was there. I hope I will come back there in the future.
