Monk voodoo mystery

Monk, the voodoo mystery has lots of the elements of a mystery. Like every mystery, it has a crime. The crime is when the uncle of Angeline dies. The detective or the problem solver is of course, Monk. Crime maker is Angeline and the way she didn't get in trouble is the alibi she said she was upstairs when the murder happened. The people who were effected by the crime is the uncle of Angelina. Another element is about suspects. The suspect is the shopkeeper of the voodoo dolls because he owns the voodoo dolls and in every death, there was a voodoo doll. The cool part about this episode was the car chase. The van was matrixing the cars in fast speed. The red herring in this was the other two deaths. It made us think that those deaths was caused by the same people who killed the uncle but no. There was no one who were witnesses in this story but there were evidence and clues. The clue was that there were 3 deaths happen and then in every death there was a voodoo doll. There was a surprise ending because the killer wasnt the voodoo but it was the Paramedic, Angelina.

Kontiki Plastiki


This is the coolest thing on the ocean. You would not believe this is possible but it is. What plastiki is, is a sailboat made of Plastic bottles. The sailors in this boat is starting from Los Angeles to Sydney. Thats across the world! They are going to use this hydration garden holder thing which is like a pole and it grows vegetables from it. I wish I could try going around the world with that. That would be a great long adventure with some hard and good times but I like challenges. And the great thing is that its environmental.

Dear Journal (Grampa writing)

Dear journal,
I was amazed how much things has changed through the years I have been in shanghai (1994-2006). Especially the last year because when I came to shanghai, the place was like Indonesia but now it's a humongous city with skyscrapers and big buildings except for the market in the city with fake copies of DVD. In 2004, I had to retire because I was 65 years old but I liked Shanghai so much, I stayed in Shanghai for 2 more years. In those 2 years, everyday was a fun day because I went shopping and to parties with my wife. The last year I was in Shanghai, it smelled bad, dirty, lots of trucks, cars, buses and bicycles. I hope my grandson would have a life like mine or better.

The soccer match

On the weekend, I went to play in the soccer match against this indonesian team. When I woke up I was real excited and nervous about the game. I got to BIS, I went to the feild to get ready for the match. The other team came onto the field. Some of them were small and fat in my experience of soccer, some small fat kids are real skilled at soccer.
The match started and my position was striker. For the first part of the first quarter, it was 0-0 but at the end of the quarter, one of my teammates crossed the ball in and I scored with a volley. But in the second quarter, The other team scored by chipping the ball over the goalie.The third and fourth quater, they scored 1 goal in each quarter. The score was 3-1 and we lost but it was atleast fun.
