Speech Festival

I signed up for the speech festival a few days ago. When i signed up there were three poems i had to choose from: The Yo Yo Man (which was real stupid), The Whistler (which was nice and Books (i got that). I haven't started practicing yet but i wish i would get in to the top three. this is my poem:

Books

What worlds of wonder are our books!
As one opens them and looks,
new ideas and people rise
in our fancies and our eyes.

The room we sit in melts away,
And we find ourselves at play
with someone who, before the end,
may become our chosen friend.

Or we sail along the page
to some other land or age.
Here's our body in the chair,
but our minds are over there.

Each book is a magic box
which with a touch a child unlocks.
In between their cvers
books hold all things for their lovers.

English Class

Today in english we learned about the different genres of stories, then we were asked to make up three titles for: mystery, adventure and sience-fiction stories.I chose: Death By Words (mystery), Waking Up In Hades Realm (adventure) and When Planets Collide (sience- fiction). The hardest one to do was the sience-fiction title.

Unacomanied Minor

Sorry this entry is late...again. It was because i was in Cebu.

i went to Cebu as an unacomanied minor with My Brother. It was the coolest and i mean coolest thing ever! Here's what happened:

My Mum came with us to the bag checking area (with a lady from Cathay Pacific) and dropped us of there, then we went through immigration, finally we hopped on the flight heading towards Cebu.
30 minutes before we landed a flight attendent asked us to move into buiness class so we could be the first one's off! So we moved up and had a nice 30 minutes at buiness class.
