Global Warming!!!!!

Imagine a world, shattered and destroyed by humanity. Wreckage and dump lies everywhere and roads are torn up. There isn't a single human in sight due to the loss of resources. What happened? The hole in the atmosphere grew to an immense size, and the sun fried the planet. Garbage filled the planet, killed trees, and spread disease. Global Warming will eventually destroy us. The materials we believe we need so much will be our downfall. We can't rely on fossil fuels and electricity any longer.

Turn off and unplug anything not being used before leaving a room. Try unplugging everything in the house or spending the whole day outside. pick three places to stay at. This will minimize the energy you use, and at only three places, you won't use a lot of gas either. We can also use nature for energy. Earth 4 Energy would be something to consider. If not for global warming, at least lower your power bill.

Another thing to think about is gas. Buying a Hybrid may not be an option for some. You can minimize gas usage by minimizing automobile usage. If you live near everything-e.g. grocery stores, restaurants, shopping malls-you can walk. It takes time and energy, but continual walking will keep you in shape and lower the amount of money spent on gas. If not, a bike is another option. It still takes up energy, and you may not be close enough to everything to bike, but after a while of biking, you'll be able to bike all over your city, town, village, or even island.

Plant a tree, recycle, there are all kinds of things you can do about global warming. If we don't do something about global warming, the human race will eventually die out. Future generations will be the ones suffering because we did nothing to help. We can save the future, or destroy it.

5 Great Books

Here's a list of 5 of the best books I've read (So far):

Redwall
This fantasy novel takes place in the middle ages in a country inhabited by peaceful mice, brave otters, wise and powerful birds, evil stouts, cunning foxes, and many, many more creatures. At Redwall Abbey, creatures are loving and kind. They live quiet lives, most of the time. They must know how to defend themselves and often experience battles, living in an area inhabited by evil creatures like rats and foxes. There is usually a journey by the abbey warrior to find someone or something to help the abbey in times of war. The stories are exciting and suspenseful making this book a a great read.

Westmark
Also taking place in an imaginary land, Westmark tells of the story of Theo, a printer's apprentice and how he gets caught on the wrong side of the law by printing a pamphlet illegally. He meets new allies, the traveling performer Count Las Bombas, his sidekick Musket, and the strange girl Mickle, after fleeing the city and eventually becomes friends with the rebel Florian. He becomes caught up in a war between the Rebels and the Monarchy. The rebellion sends him on a mission in a town where his friends have been captured. He rescues his friends Count Las Bombas, Musket, and Mickle, but leave his other friend, Justin injured. They defeat Cabbarus, the minister aiming to gain control of Westmark, and Mickle's true identity is revealed. Westmark is a very interesting and exciting book.

The Westing Game
The Westing Game is a very, very thrilling story. It tells the story of a mysterious murder, where the victim somehow knows who killed him and makes a game out of it. The person who can find out who killed him, wins his fortune. Being the owner of Westing Paper Products, he was very wealthy, thus all of the heirs chosen to play take a shot at solving the mystery. Theft and explosions are involved in the Westing Game. This book is probably the best mix of thrill and excitement I've ever read.

The Looking Glass Wars
The Looking Glass Wars is the story of Princess Alyss Heart of Wonderland. In Wonderland, the Royal Families, Spade, Club, and Diamond, rule under the Heart family. Card soldiers protect Wonderland, and the Cut-commanded by Redd, the outlawed Heart princess-battle for control over Wonderland. The Hatters, an elite military fore of Wonderlands fiercest and most loyal warriors, protect the Queen under any circumstances. The Looking Glass Wars tells the story of how Princess Alyss' family is attacked by her Aunt Redd. She flees with her bodyguard, Hatter Madigan, to the Pool of Tears and is suddenly out of Wonderland and in a strange new world. The story is very imaginative and is a very different, yet somewhat similar, to Alice in Wonderland. This is a very good book, including characters from Alice in Wonderland: The Caterpillar(Split into seven Caterpillars), the Mad Hatter(Hatter Madigan), even the Cheshire Cat. Check out the site.

The Mysterious Benedict Society
This book is one I'd like to read again. It is has a very interesting story, clever characters, and a great amount of imagination. Reynie Muldoon is an orphan with a very sensible head on his shoulders. He had completed all of his text books and is pretty well respected by his private tutor. So, when he see the ad Are you a special child looking for opportunities? shows up in the newspaper, he goes and takes a test. He ends up joining the Mysterious Benedict Society, and is sent on a mission to a school. Saying any more would spoil the story. Very thrilling and imaginative, this is a great read for anyone.

We Moved!


We Moved! We now live in Hagatna, Guam. The location is great. We're right next to everything, Agana Shopping Center, the Julale Shopping Center, Shimbros, Plaza De Espana, the Beach, Chamorro Village, Latte Stone Park, and loads of other places. The place can be a little noisy during the day, but it's relatively quiet at night.

We can walk to the library, which is great. Before, we couldn't go as much because the library was so far away. We can't play soccer in the yard anymore, but we can go across the street to play in the field and our new yard is better for skateboarding and riding the scooter.

The new place looks great on the inside too. We have less space, but more rooms. Maia has her own room now. I still have to share my room with Rain on the weekends. I spend most of my time in my room. It's all mine on weekdays.

Outside of the house is all cement. We can skate and run around, but the space is smaller. There's not really mush out there other than the mountain, but we still have fun. We can always go to Plaza De Espana or Latte stone Park if we really need to be near grass. I love going to either place. There's so much to do at Plaza De Espana or Latte Stone Park. We can run, hide, play, all kinds of stuff. The best part is, they're both in walking distance!

I'm glad we moved, but I'll miss the old place too.The yard was bigger, there was more to explore (the jungle), there was generally more room, and the grass. I definitely miss the grass and the porch.

Well, the new house is pretty cool over all, on a scale of 1-10, it deserves a 9.5.
