[FREE] The show Wife Swap

Ever watch that show Wife Swap? If you have is it great, because I think its great. I have never watch Wife Swap on television before. I started watching on youtube. My first episode was the King Curtis episode. The reason I think Wife Swap is good is that it teaches other families a lesson. They take two wives from opposite families and swap them. By opposite I mean their lifestyles. They would swap a messy wife with a clean wife, or something like that. During week one they follow the manual and experience how they live. After the first week, the swapped wives make their own rules so they know how the other family feels. I have only seen a couple of episodes and having the wives make rules, has changed the families lifestyle. That's why I like this show. It teaches others a new lesson that they normally won't do. Its so inspirational.

What lead me to watching Wife Swap was a scene from the King Curtis episode. It was about Curtis running away(but came back later) because the wife "Joy" tossed  away bacon and other fatty foods into the garbage. After watching the whole episode of this, the families did change their lifestyle. Joy's family was originally a healthy and unsocial family, but that all change thanks to Curtis' mother whose name I don't know. She taught the father to have more fun with the kids and eat other foods beside vegetables. Curtis' family did start eating vegetables, but Curtis still rejects eating them because he considers them disgusting. Curtis there is nothing wrong with vegetables, they are pack with many minerals and vitamins. So consider watching Wife Swap, it could change some of your bad habits into good ones.

[RE] Halloween is for Everyone

I'm probably too old to still trick-or-treat and stuff but it's so fun. I know, I'm hella immature.

Gigi Zeng, you are never too old to go trick-or-treating and there is nothing immature about it. Getting candy and dressing up in a costume is what kids like to do. Kids enjoy receiving delicious candy from strangers and dressing up. No one is too old for it, I mean I still want to go trick-or-treating. I just go for the fun of it and to receive candy. I need candy to give me energy. I really want to go trick-or-treating again. Not only do I get candy and dress up, but I can go past my bedtime. Though I will be tired the next day. The last time I went was probably four years ago. During that year, there were kids at my age that went trick-or-treating. I scored a lot of candy though, but my mom throwed some away, I was furious with her. All that remained for me was chocolate. But its still delicious and I'm happy that I got candy that my parents won't buy.

Usually my family doesn't celebrate Halloween. We don't buy pumpkins, decorate our apartment, or even buy candy since no one ever comes to our place for trick-or-treating. The only time I celebrate Halloween would be at school. Doing fun activities taht would include drawing pumpkin designs or writing a fictional story relating to Halloween. It was pretty fun when I did it in elementary school. I also like to point out that I have never seen someone trick before on Halloween. When kids say trick-or-treat, they receive candy. Never have I seen adults not giving away candy and having the kids pull a prank on them. But I would like to see or hear a prank being done on Halloween.

[CE] Man wielding a Bomb

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian man accused of trying to blow up a bomb in his underwear aboard a US airliner on Christmas Day in 2009, has pleaded guilty to all charges against him and warned the US of "a great calamity".

Wow! When I saw this, the man is like crazy. Having a bomb placed on your underwear is bad. When you sit down, it could activate. Once its activated, he dies along with the passengers and the plane crashes. A bad guy having a bomb is worse than having a gun. A bomb kills people in certain range, while a gun kills one person. When he tried to ignite the bomb in his underwear, it killed him. "It malfunctioned and burned him," a witness said. Even though he is a criminal, he shouldn't have died. If the cops have discovered this earlier, he wouldn't have died and he would be in jail. The passengers were lucky they weren't in harm, but they witnessed something that man nor women should do, and that is having a bomb.

What I don't get is that why he even has a bomb, and worse its sewn in his underwear. Having a bomb near your butt is dangerous. When you trigger it, your gonna die, so why have it in your underwear. Its really stupid. But why does Abdulmutllab even have a bomb. Is he selling it to criminals for money or drugs, or maybe he is using it to scare people so he can get what he wants. Either decision is horrible. From reading the article it said he has one to avenge the deaths of innocent Muslims. So basically he is doing this for revenge. If you want to get revenge, don't use a weapon, talk to the government or something. 

[BC] Living to the Fullest

When Steve Jobs died, people want him to remember his achievements. His advice of living life to the fullest and making choices of living, is pretty inspiring. Well, I agree with his advice. Its pretty good since its giving yourself a reason to live. By living to the fullest, you can possibly achieve something. Steve Jobs always try to make things possible. He made the ipod and evolved it into better style. Pretty amazing! He was able to do this because he's living life to the fullest and not giving up on his dreams. He made the choice of being an inventor and you can be too if its your dream. Someday you will be able to accomplish that dream of yours, and all you have to do is not give up on yourself. If your giving up, then your desired dream would be for nothing. So try to do something people will remember of you when you die, otherwise they will think your a nobody.

If I were to start using his advice, then my life would change. Each day I would set a goal and complete it. If its incomplete, then I would be sad. When Steve Jobs founded the Apple Company, he set up a goal for himself. That goal could be to make everyone happy of his inventions. He wasn't afraid of making mistakes and he wasn't scared that people won't buy his products. He is certain that his inventions will be great. I could someday be like Steve Jobs. I would start something and finish it until I have satisfied everyone. I won't back down or give up because I am not a failure.

Steve Jobs' advice has made me live better. An advice that I heard that was similar would be, "what do you want to do today?" This is most likely a question, but can be an advice also. How? Well when people come up and ask you this, they want to know what your doing today. This is similar to Steve Jobs quote, "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" Its similar because he is asking himself what he wants to do and that question/advice that I pointed out is like that. You want to do something that makes you happy and not sad. Make choices that you can do and don't push yourself into doing something that you can't.

In conclusion, Steve Jobs has made an impact to the world. For founding the Apple Company, people will  surely remember him of his amazing ideas of the itouch or ipod. His advice on getting people to live until you die, has change some peoples way of living. For example, I always thought I can't do something and would give up, but after reading his advice, it kind of inspired me. And now I'm living the dream of being alive. So follow Steve Jobs' advice and it could change yourself into a better person.

[FREE] A Show about School

One show that was really amazing, but stop airing was a show called: Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide. You may have heard of it and watched it before. I watched this since I was little. It helped me survive the entire time when I'm in school. Very useful tips were given. The main characters Ned Bigby, Jennifer "Moze" Mozely, and Simon "Cookie" Nelson Cook attend middle school and try to do the impossible. This show is very weird. Their friends are strange, the janitor befriended them, and the staff are all different in their own ways. One friend of them is called Coconut Head, because his head is shaped like a coconut. The janitor likes to have fun and chases a weasel within the school. And the staff, well one teacher stays home and uses a monitor to teach kids, and the vice-principal acts spiteful. Mainly the show talks about how to survive in school and interacting with the world.

I miss this show a lot. The advice Ned gives were very useful. One advice he gave was always be organized or else things could be disastrous, like unable to find your homework. I'm just guessing on this advice since I don't remember any others. Not only this show gives advice, but it also shows you fun. Fun things include what to do for your community service or what to do for a fundraiser. Pretty funny and smart, but they always get caught for doing bad things. Mostly this show influenced me to go to school. Shocking isn't it! It made me so happy and whenever this show would air again, I would always try to watch it.

[CE] Runaway Stranger

A malodorous and hirsute man robbed a woman as she jogged Saturday on Palm Drive near El Camino Real, the Stanford University Department of Public Safety reported.

The robbery took place at noon, when the man bumped into the woman and forcibly took her keys and cellphone, campus police said.

Having to know about this is a tragedy. The action taken place here was over at Stanford University. This robber bumped into her and took her stuff. She no longer has a cellphone and her keys. Its a good thing she notified the police because now everyone would know who this man is. He is a middle-aged tall man wearing a black shirt, red basketball shorts, athletic shoes, and a baseball cap. Also with a stud earring. Now that everyone know how this person looks like, people are beginning to watch out for anyone with this particular dressing.  At least this man didn't take anything serious. Sure your keys and phone are important, but since no money or I.D. was taken, it should be alright. This woman should not freak out and be calm about it because the police are searching for this man.

The victim here should have try to defend herself. Even though your scared, try to stop that robber. Chase after him or attack him. Calling the police after the event is not what I would do. If a robber came and try to take my stuff, I would attack him and yell police so the citizens around me can go get help, if there is no one to help me. If he got away I would chase him until I am unable to go anymore. Everyone should be cautious and should take care of their stuff. You wouldn't want a stranger to break into your home and steal your documents, and you certainly don't want someone to kidnap your children. Plan ahead so you would know what to do. In conclusion, watch out for the man that was describe and call the police if anything dangerous as this happens.

[RE] A College Course

So this year I am taking four courses in high school and one course at the community college. This special part-time enrollment in a college class is a unique experience that I am happy to take with me to university next year.  I have taken several college courses before, but this is the first time I am taking a course during the academic school year.

Christopher Lam really wants to get into a good university! Having taking a college course during high school sounds so hard and impossible to me. But to Chris, its easy. I have never met anyone anyone taking a college course while there in high school. Most people would take a course during summer. The class he is taking is Calculus three. He really enjoys being in that class! What really amazes me is that he doesn't complain or regret making his choice on this. If I were to be like him, I would immediately fail. I already have to handle my classes in high school and taking a college course would seem too much work. Now if I were a senior like he is, I still won't take a college course. Sure you get a free period in school, but won't you get tired? This guy right here is what I call an overachiever.

I once took a college course, and that was during this summer. My friends and I were planing to take a writing class, but apparently something happened. We took the test, met the counselors and figured out there was no more room. They say we have to go there the first day and the teacher will talk about it. Once roll call was taking, there were people missing. It was an opportunity for us, but then something came up. During break my two friends say they quit because they don't have the energy to take the class. I was mad cause I would be alone, but they persuaded me to leave also. Eventually we all left in the middle of class, didn't tell the counselors, we just walked out. I regretted doing that, but I got over it since I found community service to do, which is All-Star Academics. Well I learned my lesson, never take a college class unless you have the energy to do so.
