The Beginning of the End

Lets go back to the start. Although, looking back, it seems like the end. I caught her glacing my way from across the room. I admit I caught myself being lost in her smile and her laughter. Hey eyes were the best part, the way they sparkled under the sunlight made her seem like she was ruthless. We would look back and forth at each other and the way she gazed in my direction made me feel like I was floating. It was all wrenched away from me though because it was time for us to depart and now I felt like I would never see her again. I remember sitting on the car ride home and thinking to myself, was she a detective? It seemed possible from the way she was watching my every move. Will I get caught now for what I have done? No way. The plan was perfect and locked down in place. There was no way that the information could have been leaked from room 143. The room was impenetrable and I double checked the security features myself. My mind was making me overthink and started playing games with me which is odd because I was starting to panic, which usually never happens. I couldn't sit still in the car, it felt as if it was electrified since I was shaking violently. I thought to myself how couldI have let this girl in so easily like that? How stupid of me, I should have been more alert and careful. I had no choice. I have to run away before she finds out about my scandal. I shall go to Mexico and start a new life. It will be perfect and I will be able to leave all the bitterness behind me. This is exactly what I need. A place where noone knows who I am. Clearly, you'd feel the same, had you been there at the beginning of the end.

PARTY PARTY PARTY

If I were to throw a party, it would have to be a lunch party because breakfast is too early to do anything and dinner is when you just want to sit around and relax. By throwing a lunch party you have plenty of time after to do what you want with your party. The first person I would invite would be Russell Peters to entertain everyone with his humor. We would definitely need chef Ramsay to cook amazing food so that our stomachs will be full with satisfaction. We would need Queen Latifah as our taxi driver to drive us around in her amazing race-car-like taxi. Finally, I would invite Mrs. Hyde to my lunch party so that way I have an opportunity to sweet talk her into giving me great marks.

5 Levels of Reading

1) Literal- Titanic- was a great movie that explained what happened when the unsinkable was actaully sunk by an ice berg and many died.

2) Emotional- Million Dollar Baby- was one of the saddest movies I ever saw where a boxer who you wanted to win was cheap shotted and became paralyzed during one of her biggest fights. She wanted to die and move on while her accomplishments were still fresh in her mind instead of rotting away in a hospital bed.

3) Moral-The best lessons I ever learned was "We Share Everything" by Robert Munsch which taught me to always share and care. We receive happiness when we are able to bring happiness into another persons life.

4)Symbolic-A symbolic book about dreams that I read was "The Wind-up Bird Chronicle" by Haruki Murakami. The dreams symbolized an escape from the complications of life. It teaches that we need something stable in our life because life may never go the way you wanted, or planned or take an unexpected turn.

5)Hyperbolic-The Life of Pi was a great example of this book which was about a boy stuck on a boat in the middle of the ocean with a tiger and has to survivie for many days. The boy "imagines" all these different animals coming along and helping him but in the end he gives us the "real" story but we're never really told which one is the true version.

The Days we Knew

It was just another typical day at Orchard Park Secondary School on a chilly Thursday. Minwoo was sitting in geography class eagerly waiting for the bell to ring at 11:12 so he could go to Torino’s to hang out with his friends and grab some food. As the bell rang, he met up with his friends in the hallway and they all headed to Torino’s together. Once they arrived they swarmed the foosball table and had fun and jeered each other as plays were made and goals were scored. As they were playing, Minwoo noticed two unfamiliar faces walk into the store, look over and then say, “Look at those faggots playing foosball.” Minwoo and all of his friends ignored the comment seeing as how only half of them heard it. Minwoo continued on playing and after he lost the game he went over to the counter to buy a drink where those two unfamiliar faces were still standing waiting for food. All of a sudden one of the strangers, named Mike, shoves Minwoo and says to him in a demeaning manner, “Don’t touch me” to which Minwoo replies “I didn’t though”. Mike stands straight up towering over Minwoo now and says, “Yeah you did kid” so Minwoo faces him as well and says, “okay, my bad, wanna relax now bud?” Minwoo and Mike are now face to face with only an inch of space separating the two of them and are about to start throwing fists into the air. Right when Minwoo was about to strike, Minwoo’s friend, Valdrin, steps in and says, “Guys, relax! We can settle this a different way” and both Mike and Minwoo look at Valdrin and ask, “How?” Valdrin snaps his fingers and magically a ping pong table started to rise from the ground where the foosball table had been and then two paddles and a ping pong ball appeared out of thin air. Everyone inside of Torino’s stared in awe and wonder and then Valdrin explains, “You two shall play a ping pong game up to seven and the loser never returns to Torino’s ever again.” Minwoo and Mike looked at each other and agreed to play.
Minwoo was nervous since it has now been 7 years since he last held a paddle on that horrible day. Minwoo was the national ping pong champion and was returning to defend his title. His coach, who was addicted to gambling and had bet a million dollar’s that Minwoo would win. Sadly, Minwoo was defeated and his coach had no money to pay back the shady men he always dealt with. One day, three big men came into their practice room and took his coach away. He never saw his coach again. He swore to never hold a paddle ever again. This memory had become omnipresent on Minwoo’s mind and sweat started trickle down his forehead. All of his friends were counting on him to win so that they could come back and always hang out there. He slowly reached for the paddle as the image of his coach being dragged away flooded his mind.
He grabbed the paddle and all of his friends started cheering for him but the paddle felt like a stranger in his hand. He was no longer familiar with the feeling of the smooth wooden handle and thus he became more nervous. His knees were weak, and arms were heavy, there was vomit on his sweater already. He was preparing to serve but the sweat on his hands made it much more difficult to hit the ball. He threw the ball into the air to hit it but the ball went wide off the table. He continued to play horribly but somehow managed to gain points from the faults of Mike. The score was 6-4 and it looked hopeless for Minwoo and his friends. It was Mike's serve now, he threw the ball into the air and hit it towards Minwoo, the ball was traveling fast but skimmed the top of the net which called for a reserve. All of a sudden Minwoo slipped on the wet floors (the floors were wet when Minwoo dropped his Nestea pop-can to fight Mike) and lost consciousness. While he was knocked out he saw images of his coach cheering for him and his coach told him that everything was alright and that it would all be over soon. Minwoo woke up to his friends yelling for him and picked up his paddle which felt familiar once again. He told Mike to serve even though his friends were worried. Mike served the ball with a ridiculous spin but Minwoo hit it back right at Mikes head no problem. He returned Mike's serves like they were nothing. On the last point, it was tied 6-6, and Mike hit the ball with incredible speed and it looked like all hope was lost but Minwoo's hand just reacted naturally without his mind controlling it and hit it back right at Mikes forehead. The impact of the ball knocked Mike out and gave Minwoo the game winning point at the same time.
Minwoo and his friends left Mike there on the ground and went out to celebrate. Later back at school he was called down to the office was told that he may be charged and was being suspended. He went home scared to face his parents but when he arrived home his coach answered the door. Minwoos face lit up and he knew that everything was going to truly be okay afterall.

You Would Never Have Guessed What...

You would never have guessed what happened, I was walking down the street, minding my own business when all of a sudden these three guys came and tried to kidnap me with bubblegum bubbles. They would all blow bubbles and tried to entrap me in them. Then all of a sudden the clock on one of the attackers necklace started to suck me in. The clocks face disappeared and showed a reflection of me but I was older which was very unusual. I could tell it was me because of my clothes and the gum stuck in my hair but I was 50 years older. It startled me at first but I adjusted to the image of it. Then the second and third guys forgot to keep blowing bubbles to entrap me. I would pop the bubbles and then ran away and then the 3 men chased after me while their shrieked in a foreign language that I was unfamiliar with. All of a sudden a beautiful girl pops out from nowhere and distracts the 3 pursuers from me. The beautiful girl reached into her pocket and pulled out some heavy duty bubblegum and laid it on the road which trapped the 3 men as their feet were stuck to the gum and they had to stand there while people stared at them. They were truly unique and dressed funky. As I walked closer to them, they offered me cupcakes to help set them free but the girl said it was a trick. I just stood there as close to the edge of the as I could get and they started reaching out to me but I felt no remorse as I still had gum stuck in my hair. All of a sudden this anger came over me and I took of my belt and beat them till they started bleeding purple, and I swear to you that is exactly how it all went.

The Promiscious Textbook

My owner, Mike Hawk, was an untidy, disorganized, non-eccentric man who always left his bag unzipped. My previous owners would always keep me in their bags and only take me out when their professors needed me. But Mike, he was different. He would always leave his bag open so that I could breathe the fresh air and explore the world as he traveled even though the world’s information was written on my pages. He gave me a new outlook on life and made me feel like the only thing in his life. He would read me first thing in the morning, during the day in the library, and even late at night where we’d be all alone together. We spent countless of hours together and all we needed was each other. He would gain vast knowledge about the world from me and I would gain pleasure from his finger tips on the back of my spine which would make my pages curl. He would hold me nonchalantly but with enough firmness that it felt like he would never let me go.
Then one day, everything went wrong. I accidentally gave him a paper cut and he beat me like never before. This was much more worse than what we did during role play. His eyes were filled with fire as he threw me against the wall, I never felt so much pain in my life. I wished I was back in my previous owners dark and lonely bags, at least there I was safe. I thought this nightmare would never end as he kicked me around his room. He shrieked at me, "Advanced Functions 12 I CANT STAND YOU" and threw me off of his balcony. I was left there all alone, cold and abandoned but after everything I had done with him I was ashamed of myself. If only I could go back and take back what I did but I realized that I was left to go nowhere but forward. Ill cherish the memories I had with Mike Hawk, of all the late nights, early mornings and sometimes in the car.

Five Books I Would Love To eat.

There are many books out there in the world that cover every topic. You must chose wisely on what you would eat so that it can be used to your advantage. The very first book that I would love to eat is Harry Potter so that I can gain magicall skills and use them to make my life easier. I would boil the book in a nice big cauldron until it was nice and soft. The second book I would eat is Gordon Ramsay's World Kitchen so that I would never go hungry again. The best way to cook this book would be over a a hot flaming fire in a wok. The third book I would eat is the World Geography Book so that I will know all about the world without travelling anywhere. It would be best to cook this book over a firepit in the nice outdoors. The fourth book I would eat is the Dictionary so that I would be filled with vast amounts of knowledge and never feel stupid. This book would be best with some break and chicken noodle soup at the side. The final book I would eat is twilight to rid the world of some garbage. I would eat this book next to a toilet because I'll most likely puke it back out:D

What is Success?

To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by
a healthy child, a garden patch
or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed
easier because you have lived;
This is to have succeeded.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

This Asian Guy

I was born in Burlington, Ont. on Jan. 5, 1992. I am of Korean ethnicity but a Canadian citizen. I love relaxing and doing nothing at all but then again I also love being active and playing sports. Im currently the captain of the OP varsity boys Hockey team and will be playing rugby and badminton in the spring. I like to get involved in school clubs like S.S.H.O.P.S, JETS, and student council. I am the boys atheletic rep for OP and part of a hamilton policing program. I love to just relax by sitting infront of my computer and listening to music. I am looking forward to the challenges writers craft has to offer and hope that I have the energy to tackle them all with the best of my abilities.
