Twilight

Twilight is a movie about vampires and it's about this girl who moves to live with her father in this cold, hilly area. Her name is Bella Swan, and her father is a policeman.

She makes all new friends and stuff. Then, there's this vampire crowd called the Cullen Family. In it, there's Mr Cullen, Mrs Cullen, Alice, Gasper, Rosalie, Emith, Edward, and that's it.

The movie is really cool, so if you want, go and watch it. It comes on TV -- Star Movies.

I like vampire creatures, but they're also cold-blooded, so I wouldn't like it if I was a vampire. I don't really believe in vampires, but just like watching the movies because it's fine. I'll just keep it at that, otherwise you won't want to watch the movie or read the book.


Volleyball match... it's tomorrow


Tomorrow (Oct 1, 2010, Friday) is my volleyball match, and I'm really excited because it's my first match and I just started playing volleyball about two months.

In our schools, we have different categories and levels for volleyball teams. We have Boys Under 17, Girls Under 17, Boys Under 14, and Girls Under 14.

I come under the Girls Under 14. In my team, there's Amber, Liesha, Joanne, Kimberly, Melissia, Perpetua, Zephora, Sandra, Whitney. That's it.

I think Amber and Liesha really play well. Amber's a good lifter, and she smashes and fingers well. I think Liesha is really good in taking under-hand, and in serving.

Tomorrow we are going to play at the Peddem Ground, it's in Mapusa.

Our match starts at 9 am, but we need to leave at eight.

Now let me tell you about the other teams and what they've done.

The Under-17 Boys got the first place. I know some of the players -- Leander, Avito, Kevin, Evynce, etcetera.

The Under-17 Girls also won the second plays (at the taluka level). And they are Kezia, Ankita, Zena, etcetera. The Under-14 Boys only won in the first round, but they didn't succeed. But that's okay because everone knows they tried their best.

But tomorrow's our match. And no matters what happens, I think we need to be a team, and work together, and that we all do our best ... specially when we have to serve. The most hardest part is rotating, because then we have to take the lifter's part sometimes (and it's really hard, because you have to come really close to the net).

If we lose, I don't really, really care, because at least we got into the match, and we were chosen out of so many people. We should just try our best as a team, and have a sporting spirit... by being good sports. (My father say that if we lose, we will manage to come home early, and so we won't have any trouble for lunch!)

Chicken Soup for the Kid's Soul 2

Recently, I started reading this new book called Chicken Soup for the Kid's Soul 2

I find it a very good book, because it tells me about different children, and what has happened in their life, and they're from different places around the world. So it's really fun to know what happens in their country, their place and their surrounding.

Day-before yesterday I read about a guilty conscience. There was this kid, who went to the supermarket with his father. His father needed to buy the house supplies. And, this kid saw these lovely toys in the toy-rack. There were cool cards too. He wanted them; but his father said they were rather too expensive.

So, when his father walked out of the shop, he stole the cards and put them in his pocket. Then, he got a bad tummy ache when he reached home; he didn't get sleep in the night. In the (next) morning, he had to tell his mother, so he went and told her. His mother said, "I'm so glad you told the truth." She took him to the shop, and they paid it to the shop-keeper, and they told the shopkeeper everything. She said he was always welcome to come back.

So I thought it was really nice and interesting, and how this boy had the guts to go to the shopkeeper, tell her what he had done wrong, and what he had really done. So I really liked it.

Volleyball, at LCHS

Hey!!!...

As you all know LCHS is my school...it is fun..and now I have started going for volleyball classes.

I go every evening on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. My friends told me to start coming for volleyball and they said it was a lot of fun so I started going.

They were right it was really a lot of fun. There is a coach and she teaches us.

We learn how to finger the ball, serve etc...

Broken guitar string

Hey everybody, I started playing (learning) the guitar six months ago. This is my seventh month at it.

I have a teacher from Taught-to-Teach (a music school that has different branches -- Mapusa, Porvorim and Bicholim -- and the man who runs it teaches all the teaches, and they teach the students by visiting their homes, or you can go for classes over there).

It's a lot of fun learning the guitar, but you also have to practise a lot, which is very annoying. When you just start,your hands pain a lot, but then, you have to think about one day when you can play the guitar so well... and then you won't even care why your hands used to pain.

Now my hands don't pain as much as they used to pain....

I learn the box guitar -- it's also known as the acoustic guitar. I learnt many chords and notes (D, C, E, A, B, and F). My guitar classes are on every Wednesday, and I have enough to practise the whole week.

So, when I was practising one day, my brother came and untuned my guitar. And I tried tuning it back, but I didn't get the exact tunes, so I left it. And on Wednesday, my guitar teacher tried to fix it, but one of my guitar string had been tightened too much, so it just snapped.

And now I'm trying to fix it....

Going for a tiatr

On September 15, my mom, her friend and me went for a tiatr. A tiatr is a funny play which has a story and a moral. Tiatrs are basically shown on a family, and people working very hard, and people wasting money. Tiatrs are a lot of fun to watch, and when there are tiatrs the hall is full.

Tiatrs
are always in Konkani.

The story of the tiatr I went for was on a family which had two sons, and they had got married, and their father had saved a lot of money (it had come up to 30 lakh of rupees). The father wanted to give the money to the sons, but the mother wanted to give it to the daughters-in-law. The mother was generous, and finally the daughters-in-law started acting all mean, they got an airconditioner in their room, the bill was going high, and they would not pay for their bill. The lights were cut off by the Electricity Department. So they had to go to hotels. They were willing to pay for the hotels but not for the electricity bill which cost Rs 2000. The daughters-in-law also kept watching television the whole day.

And there was this guy called Shantu, and he was in love with this girl. And he told her he could read palms, and offered to read palms. And he said, there's someone who loves you and he's one of your neighbours, he's single and has a very old father. And she thought there was another guy, so Shantu was very sad.... This tiatr will be shown again at the Kala Academy; I don't know when.

[We mostly go to the Kala Academy to watch tiatrs. Kala Academy is a place run by the government, and they promote music over there, and Goan culture. The music is based on cultural music, Western and Indian music. When we come close to Christmas, they also have Carols conducted, and traditional dances like Bharatnatyam, etc. They also conduct the mando festival over there, and some films from the IFFI film festival are also shown there.]

The tiatr is a lot of fun, specially when the acting part is going on, because then they have all jokes and stuff. But when they're singing, it's really boring. I'm looking forward to going to a tiatr again. My mom will take me, because she is making a short film and that's it.

Its just so Confusing...!!

Its just so hard to make up my own mind about what to become in life...Its hard because u have to make the right one.And there are so many cool things u could become.in 1st std they asked, what do u want to be??and i would say a princess or a mermaid,in 2nd they would ask the same question,and i would say a dancer or a singer,in 3rd they would ask the same question,and I would say a teacher or doctor,in 4th the same question would come up and I would come up with a different answer and this went on.So till now I don't really know what I really want to be,but I am thinking of marine biologist or a lifestyle journalist..and I hope it stays that way...
