8/31/16

  Yesterday, I watched YouTube on the iPad instead of watching movie on the television because there are no good movie to watch. I watched people playing games like Jacksepticeye and Vanokssgaming. Vanossgaming's lastest video is the Gmod Death Run. The theme in that video is the Olympic. It was quite hilarious. This was one of thise videos where there are more friends of his there. The hardest one was the ice hockey trap. It shoots the hockey and kills everyone infront of it. 

  Today, at the hostel, I was able to talk with a foreigner a little bit. He asked me if I work at the hostel, and I answered that I am just an apprentice. Anyway, I came home late because the lady who worked there that I asked to take me home finished her work at the hostel late. When I arrived home, everyone had already finished lunch. 

  When I woke up, which was because my dad called me, it was already 4:30 pm. My dad told me to read books or play with the dog. I don't need to translate any article today. I read the Vietnamese version of Dave Barry's stories. Dave Barry's a humorist. He wrote humorous columns for a newspaper in Miami. And today I only have to cook rice for dinner. 

  Oh, few days ago, I had finally watched Scott Pilgrim vs the World on AXN. Scott Pilgrim oneday see a girl that makes him fall in love. But unfortunately, he had to fight seven evil exs of his new girlfriend. The movie was actually quite like a game. 

  Tonight, it's my day to watch movie, even though I think I'll watch YouTube. I will watch other Youtubers or remixes or songs. 

  I am excited for this Friday. My friends are coming over to my home for church which means that I was able to play game on my computer instead of iPad, which there is not good game.

  Yesterday, my family had a family meeting. I had some fish-skin peanut. I don't know why they name it like that nor is there any taste of fish, but one thing is for sure, this is delicious though not as much as Poca's peanuts. Anyway, I shared my article that I translated that noon at the meeting. That article is my first article where there are examples instead of the author saying.

  This morning, I went to the hostel. At the hostel, I managed to talk a little bit to two foreigners. But it was mainly about their breakfast order. I also watched Jacksepticeye's videos. I especially like the Sneaky Thief game of all the videos that I haven't watch on the weekend. My dad take me home late, again. He arrived late because my dad went to a fish shop before he came to take me home.

  In the evening, I translated another article. This article where longer than the yesterday's article. This had 15 ways to know that you are success. That article took me quite a while. When I finished translating it, it was already about 5:30 pm. Luckily, tonight I only have to cook rice only.

  I just realized that I forgot to say abiut the games I played on the weekend. A new thing to update is that I have finally got the new Jericho rank 5 ship name Machete AE. I installed a Assault Railgun on it instead of Flax Cannon. The reason I do that is because the railgun tends to fire faster and because the Falx Cannon's projectile speed might be slow, and I don't want to waste money just to find that it was slow. Red Crucible had nothing new. I am still at level 11. I stills haven't buy the new pistol, heavy machine gun, or rocket launcher. The rocket launcher had actually been updated. Instead of only kill a person when it hits directly, I could now kill when hit the ground near him.

  Tonight, my dad gonna watch movie on the television, and there a chance where he gonna sleep before he watch the television. If that happens, which already does, I'm gonna take control of the television. Either that or I'm gonna watch on iPad.

8/29/16

  Last Saturday, my mom make steaks using the recipes I found online. That evening, I went with my dad to a high school to help him set up the fair that gonna open that Sunday there. At first, it doesn't rain until about 7:30 pm or so. But it suddenly rain right after we finished our dinner. I and my cousin with some other people who work with us ate fried chicken and fried rice. And at the place where I ate that, I saw a guy who looks like Matthew from our summer church camp. After we ran bakc to the school, we went into on of the classrooms to do some jobs that we could do indoor. When it started to rain slower, we went out to do the works outdoor. It was wet outside and there're many time where I stepped into water puddles. I was hoping that day that tomorrow won't rain. But it rain. When we were almost done, my dad came to help us. When we arrived home, it was already about midnight. When I came home, I took a bath right away, of course. 

  On Sunday, I stayed home instead of going to the fair with my mom and sister. I stayed home and watch the television instead. That night, I helped my dad carry up the boxes upstair. 

  This morning, I didn't went to the hostel since Icould only go by 9 am, and I had to go home to go to the restaurant with my parents at 11:10 am. So I stayed home. I also walked three miles. But my time today were slower than usual. My time today was fourty-five minutes and two seconds. The app Nike+ also updated into Nike+ Run Club. 

  When I came home, I translated another article for my dad. That article was about how to stop being average at everything. 

  At the restaurant we went to today, which was a buffet restaurant, I figured out why I usually could only eat two dishes is because I ate too much staunch or whatever you called bread and rice are. 

  Tonight, we're gonna have a family meeting. I bought some "fish-skin" peanut.

  Yesterday, I watched Troy, a movie based on the city of Troy in Greek legend. This movie starts from the moment the Greeks prepare to go to Trou and end when Achilles is dead and the Trojans had lose. I don't loke that movie much. Sometimes, I watched a magic show on National Geographic in between the movie. That night, before I sleep, I read Dave Barry's Greatest Hits.

  This morning, I continued to work at the hostel. There're stills not mich customers today. There're only one group of Thailand people today. I watched YouTube while waiting for some customers. I usually watch Jacksepticeye and Vanossgaming nowadays. Other YouTubers seems sucks now. Smoshgame seems lame, I have never actually like Markipiler, Pewdiepie was getting more boring. I usually watch Vanossgaming's Gmod and Call of Duty while I watch almost every all of Jacksepticeye's videos. The examples are Sneaky Thief, Reign, Totally Accurate Battle Simulator, etc. My dad forgot to take me home today. When he arrived, it was already 12:45 pm. When we came home, it was quite late.

  This afternoon, I translated an article about 7 reasons why we should starts a business while we are in our twenties. I think that the article was great. One of the most notable thing is that experience doesn't matter much since times changes and we have to unlearn things, which was something that the other articles said that we need.

  This evening, I prepared a dish of vegetable. And when my dad and I were walking, I planned that I will make some research about how to make steaks before I watch movie.

  Today at the hostel, I am unable to talk to anyone new so I'm gonna try it tomorrow.

  This weekend, my parents are having another fair again, which means that I got s chance to get fast and lot of money. But it will be hard, of course.

  Since last Friday, I'm in summer vacation again. But because it rain so much, I can't go to the church as usual. Instead, I stayed home to play on my computer. I played Red Crucible Firestorm and Star Conflict. I have already talked about this game before, but this time, I've gotten to level 11 in RCF and unlocked new weapons. And in Star Conflict, I've unlocked a rank four Jericho's Tackler. Tackler was a ship for destroying fast ships like Black Ops. I am lokking forward until I reached a rank six ship so I could unlock Galaxy Map mode. Galaxy Map is basically a massively multiplayer online (MMO) map. I know it may be harder to play on Galaxy Map than on other, but at least there's a new game mode to play. We could either be a farmfer, miner, or pirate in that mode. Farmer are people how had to source of materials to collect; miners are people who search around for materials; and pirates are people who attacked others to get materials.

  On Saturday, my dad and I went to my grandparents' house. We went to a funeral there, and my dad learned anout and how to play a new chess game. I think this game's name translated to english is Surround Chess. I know, it sounds choppy; but remember, I didn't know about this game before. We also went to my mom's parents' house on Sunday too for a memorial of one of our dead ancestors.

  This morning, I went back to the hostel to work again since I don't have to study at school until September and because I don't have anything to do. It have been a long time since I work there, one month to be exactly. It was still going great, though.

  This afternoon, I read Dave Barry's Greatest Hits. I've read several stories today. I like all of ghose stories the same with one or two less than the others. And then, I watched the second half of Justice League: Flashpoint Paradox. I've watched that movie before. When Barry Alen, a.k.a. The Flash, decided to went back in time to save his mom, the whole time been effected. The Atlantis are attacking the Amazons. But I'm not gonna tell the whole story out here.

  Yesterday, I watched the remaining of X-Men: Apocalypse. I've watched the first part of the movie last week's Wednesday. This movie was set few years after X-Men: First Class. I'm gonna described it now.

  Apocalypse was the first mutant and the strongest. After thousand years of sleeping, he awoke on the twentieth century. He assembled other mutants such as Magneto, Psylock, Archangel, and Storm. They abducted Professor Xavier, and Mystique with Nightcrawler, Cyclop, Quicksilver, and Jean had to rescue him. If they can't rescue him, Apocalypse gonna transfer his mind into Xavier's body and got the power to control other's minds. And it was also revealed that Quicksilver's father is Magneto.

  Today, I don't have to walk since it's raining. But I stills have to walk to buy pho. It was quite had to carry the pho's water while holding the umbrella. I didn't put any chilli into it since the last time I out one in, my stomach upset. Because I don't put any chilli in today, my stomach was okay.

  Today in class, I reviewed history, English, science and mathematics for the last time. In Bible, I finished my Bible Final Content Exam. The teachers and other students already had their final goodbye to me.

  This evening, I slept until 3:00 pm. I didn't translate any article. I intended to translate a third one this week's Friday. So I finished the book The Spook's Curse and started to read Dave Barry's Top Hits again.
 
  Tonight, when we came home from walking, I bought four ice cream comes for my whole family. We're gonna eat it after I finished making this blog entry.

  Tomorrow is my last schoolday. I'm gonna start summer again on Friday. Next week, I'm gonna return to work at a hostel.

  Yesterday, if I haven't said clearly before, I make a last blog entry late at night. It was about 10:30 pm. It was quite late, but I still had to do it because I forgot to do it. And because my dad told me to. I went to bed right away because I'm too tired and I don't want to wake up late. Oh, and by the way, I got pink eye disease too. My right eye had already turned red this morning. By late in afternoon, it started to hurts; and at evening, my it felt like there's something in my eye. That night, my eye started to water; and it's sticky. But before I went to bed, I listen to some of my dad's song.

  This morning, I don't have to walk because when my mom ask is my eye stills sticky, and I said yes, she said I don't have to walk. When my mom woke me up again, it was 8:00 am. I ate rice and pork for breakfast.  In history and science, we reviewed for our final exam in this Thursday. And in Bible, I had a Final Verse Exam. I think I did quite good. There are some verses that I don't remember. But there are some that I remember quite good. Tomorrow, we're gonna have the Final Bible Exam. In mathematics, I continued reviewed for our final exam on Thursday. On Thurdsday, I had final exams from history, science, English, and mathematics. Bible Final Exam is gonna be on Wednesday.

  This afternoon, I translated another article that I found myself. This article is named 3 Ways Fear of Failure Blocked Your Path to Success. The article was quite short. It took me only about an hour to translate it. It was faster than normal articles that I usually translate, which took an hour and a half or two hours. After I finished translating that article, I read The Spook's Curse, the second book of The Spook's Apprentice series. While reading that book, I remembered about the Arinthian's Line. I haven't read those books for sometimes, mainly because I had read those books over and over too many times. I don't know when Legend, the fifth and last book of the series, will be out. I would like to read it now. I migh search for it.

  Tonight, it's my dad's fay to watch movie. I don't know if he gonna watch it or what. But I would want to watch movie or chat on Facebook.

  On Saturday, I played Star Conflict and Red Crucible: Firestorm on my computer. I'm kind of starting to play other games instead of Star Conflict mainly because Star Conflict was just too laggy for my computer, especially when enemy's ships were near or that when you have to go around to find your target, so I play Red Crucible more now. I stills can't get to level 11 on Red Crucible. It took so long, and since the new update, the games are so long, like, 30 minutes a match. And I don't have much time to play those long matches. Anyway, a good news is that I had now unlocked the rank 3 Imperial gunship in Star Conflict. Normally, I would concentrate on Jericho's commander ship because it's speed, shield, and damage are all medium. But I think that I need to buy ships from other factions too, so I unlocked the gunship. I don't want to use the Federal's ship since they are fast, and that's no good on my computer. That evening, I watched Real Steel.

  Real Steel was set in the future in the year of, I believe, 2020. By then, man had already developed human like robot to fight each other for the human's entertainment since 2014. Charles Kenton just found out that his ex-wife had died, leaving him Max, Charles' 11 years old son. Max's mon had a sister who was rich and wants to adopted Max, so Charles gave Max to her and get $100,000. He was paid $50,000 first and used it on a once-champion boxing robot, Noisy Boy. Max and Charles take it to a fight, and it lost. After that, they intruded a scrapyard, while there, Max found an old robot. After he and Charles' girlfriend washed it and fixed it, they took it to a fight. Surprisingly, it win. It could even won a match with Zeus, the current World Robot Boxing champion, if it wasn't because the time ran out.

  Today, I woke up late again; and, unfortunately, walked slower than before too. My time today was fourty-four minutes and fifty-nine seconds. It wasn't a good time. Good news is our new dog kind of like to play with me. School today was fine, nothing special. But tomorrow, I'm gonna have a Bible Verse Exam, which I don't remember much. Hope that I remember just enough for tomorrow.

  Yesterday, I read the Vietnamese book Unanswered Mysteries most of the time after dinner since I couldn't watch movie because my dad don't allow it. Anyway, that book was interesting. Sure, some parts aren't, but because I sometimes love mysteris, I enjoy that book. 

  Ok, so this morning, I was able to walk faster than the last two days, which really means something to me. My time this morning was fourty-three minutes and fifty-two seconds. I was so happy at that accomplishment. It meant that I beat my last time, and to me, that is the same as winning or breaking a personal record. 

  This morning, I ate pho for breafast. Unfortunately, I ate too much chilli, causing my stomach to upset at noon. My stomach have improved lately. Now, it was obvious that my stomach upset whenever I ate a food that was too chilly. 

  In class today, mathmetics was also finished fast since I already wrote down all the answers in my notebook few days before. In science and history, we're now moving into the stage which I called "total reviewing". In Bible, I continued to learn the last lesson of Life of Christ. In this lesson, Jesus met Peter and a few other disciples at the Sea of Galilee. And I also learned about the ascending of Jesus Christ. 

  Tonight, because my dad's stomach was also upset, we can't go to the church. So I'm gonna stay home to chat, play Star Conflict, or chat while waiting Steam to finished downloading Smite, if it was availible on Linux. 

  Now let's talk about a subject that I didn't talk about now lately. Let's talk about my broken teeth. My teeth were now better a little bit. They would be cover in next week's Thursday. I wished if I had it covered, I would be able to bit with them.

  Yesterday, I watched X-Men: Apocalypse. This is the seventh movie of the X-Men franchise, making it the second longest franchise ever, the first being James Bond. It tooks me quite a time to choose which movie to watch. I had three movies in mind to read by then. They are X-Men Apocalypse, Independence Day Resurgence, and Pilgrim Scott VS the World. But I've chosen X-Men. I could only watched half of it, which was one hour, before my dad told me to stop. After I stopped and brushed my teeth, I read The Kill Order by James Dashner. The Kill Order is taken place in eastern United States thirteen years before the Maze Runner event. Mark, Trina, Alec, and their friends are living in a survivor village. One day, a Berg, a big plane, flew over their village and shoot people with darts. They would later found out that in the darts are virus which were planned to use as a mean of controlling the populations. They found that they were also had the virus and there're people who were immune to it. They found a girl name Deedee who were a immune. Deedee would actually be taken into WICKED and renamed to Teresa.

  This morning, my time was faster than then requirement. But because my left leg were somehow tired, I didn't walked as fast as yesterday. My time this morning is fourty-four minutes and twenty-four seconds. My time yesterday were fourty-four minutes and sixteen seconds.

  In school today, I finish fast since I don't have Bible lesson. And in mathematics, I could finish it quick since I had already done all of them yesterday except lesson 169.

  Between the time when I've finished my schoolday and lunch, I continued and finished The Kill Order. That book was really good. I hope there's a fifth book.

  This afternon, I translated an article about five necessary things that you need to become a millionaire before you reached your thirtieth year. I really hope that I could actually used those lessons. .

  Yesterday, our family went out to watch the movie Angry Birds The Movie. This movie was made by Sony Pictures, Colombia Pictures, and Rovio. The movie was based on the game on phone, Angry Birds, though not the story. Red was a bird who had a little control ever his anger. Once he's triggered, you could only hope for mercy because whatever happened, he'll give you an black eye. One day, the court sentenced him to an anger management class. There, he met Chuck, Bomb, Terence, and Matilda. One day, a ship appeared on the shore of the island. In the ships are pigs that came from a distance land. They first captured the hearts of the birds. But Red wasn't fooled so easily, he found out that the pigs are very suspicious. But no other birds would believe him. The pigs at last stoled all the eggs of the birds. The birds used all the floating objects at they could find and make a boat to the pigs' island. And they just shoot themself with a slingshot into the pigs' city. Neither I nor my dad like this movie. I wished that I could watch Ghostbusters or Suicide Squad instead of that movie, but I can't since those movies are NC-16 (No Children under 16). When we came home, I read Kill Order, the fourth book of the Maze Runners series, before I went to bed. 

  This morning, I somehow felt more tired than I usually did. Consequently, I was slower than the few days before. My time today was fourty-four minutes and eighteen or sixteen seconds. But, still, I'm faster than requirement. 

  This morning, I learned about how the nutrients returned to the earth. First, an organism died. Then, a detritivore break down that organism, which was called detritus. Then, smaller organisms like fungi or mold complete the cycle by returning the nutrients to the soil. And in mathematics, we started to review about what we have learned in this school year. 

  In the afternoon, my dad told me that I need to do all the works in my mathmetic textbook, so I do all from lesson 165 to lesson 168.

8/9/16

  Yesterday, our family had a family meeting. I was the one how had to share a story or an article with a lesson that day. Unfortunately, my dad somehow got a small fever so he can't listen to me. I shared the article that I just translated that afternoon. The article was about the seven things that the richest people in this world knew about money. I think that article was pretty good. I could even remembered all seven of them now.

  This morning, I woke up at six o'clock in the morning. But I was just tired so I lay down a few minutes more. When I woke up, I found out that my "few minutes" are actually fifteen minutes. But at least my walking time today was faster than yesterday's. My time today was fourty-three minutes and twenty-eight seconds while my time yesterday's was fourty-three minutes and fourty-three seconds. I was faster by thirteen minutes. Even thoght that seems a little time, but I was happy to be able to walk faster than yesterday.

  Today, I continued to learn about ecology in science. I also had a science quiz. After the teacher said the answers, I found out that I missed one. The question what was the term that describes the variety of species in an ecosystem is supposed to be biodiversity, not population. I I didn't remember any other mistakes, but I'm pretty sure that there's more than one. And I'm pretty nervous about it.

  In mathematics, I learned about how to get rid of fractions in quotions. Just multiply the fractions by their least common denominator and do the same to other terms.

  Today, I didn't translate any article since I had to go with my dad to cover up the drilled hole in one of my front teeth. But we go earlier because my dad also had an appointment with some people. After my dad finished the appointment and the covering of my tooth, we went to the bookstore to buy books while we waits for my younger sister time to go home from school. I bought the fourth and final book of the Maze Runeer series.

  Last Saturday, our family went back to our grandparents' house. I didn't brought the iPad to take a picture of our family tree. Because I didn't ate enough foods for lunch and ate again in the evening, I couldn't eat much in dinner. And I have actually sick at sight of food then.

  That night, I watched Mad Max: Fury Road on TV with my dad. Mad Max was a movie franchise quite long ago, maybe back to the Back to the Future days.

  On Sunday, I was woke up at 6:15 am. We had to go to Ba Vi with our church. I didn't brought my iPad since I had already used my four hours per week to play games. However, I was able to watch Vanossgaming's Death Run with my friends on their phone. The Death Run videos are hilarious. Death Run is a game on Gmod where a person got the role of Death and activates the traps in order to kill the other players whose goal is to run to the end of the track. While on a bus to Ba Vi, The muscles in my neck were strained so it hurts so much. It even hurts a little today. On the bright side, I don't have to swim there. Oh and I also had my Baptist, if that's what it is really called.

  When I came home, I let my younger sister to watch TV so I could borrow my dad's iPad to chat on Facebook. When I am bored of chatting, I watched YouTube videos. I watched Muselk play CSGO, Counter Strike Global Offensive, on a Team Fortress 2 map. I found out that one of my favorite people to chat on Facebook was about to went back to school. That night, after I've brushed my teeth, I found out that one of my tooth filling that covered the drilled part had fell off.

  Today, I was able to walk faster than requirement thought not faster than the last time. My time today was fourty-three minutes and fourty-three seconds, exactly like the time of the day I walk before the last day I walk.

  This afternoon, I translated another article. This article was a bit longer than the last few ones.

 

8/4/16

  Yesterday, my dad and I watched the movie Kidnapping Freddy Heineken. The movie was about a group of five friends that kidnapped Alfred Heineken, the maker of the Heineken beer. This movie was based on an real event. The three friends are in Netherland. In the end, they are all caught.

  This morning, my mom woke me up to walk. It had rained before, but the rain had stopped by then. After I got up and ready to go, it started to rain again, so I went back to sleep. Later, my mon told me that after I've went backto sleep, it stopped raining and started to rain again.

  When I woke up, I went out to buy two bowls of pho. I was now able to eat chilly without upsetting my stomach. I really like that dish. One interesting fact. I called it a dish, but it wasn't served on a dish.

  To be honest, not much interesting things happened today in school. In math, I learned about how to combine like terms. In history, I learned about the 9-11 and the Talibans and Al-Quaeda.  In language, I continued to combine sentences using adjective clauses and adverb clauses.

  This afternoon, I somehow slept a lot. I didn't woke up until 4:30 pm. After I woke up, I read Sherlock Holmes. And no, I did nit re-read the stories that I've read before. I read the long stories, or novels, as it is called.

  Today, I learned to cook a new dish. I didn't remember the name of the dish.

  Yesterday, I watched movies on television; but since there're no good movie to watch, I asked my dad to open the iPad for me to chat on messenger. We talk about many things, none of which I remember now. I chat until it was nearly midnight, which is 00:00 am. My mom and younger were sleeping in my room since my parents' air conditioner in their room doesn't work anymore.

  Early in this morning, somewhere around 2:00 am, I heard it raining outside. By 5:00 am, my mom woke up to take temperature of my younger sister who somehow had a small fever. When I woke up, it was already 7:45 am. My mom didnt woke me up because she didn't know that I started my school day by 7:00 am. And since it's raining, my mom didnt woke me up to walk. Fortunately, somehow, I had a lot of tests. And by a lot I mean three. There're Bible, history, and science test along with a math quiz.

  In English, we learned about how to write a sentence correctly. And in mathematics, we learned about the terms in an equation. This is one of the lessons in algebra that we learn in school.

  Since I've finished school early, I started to read The Study in Scarlet, which was a Sherlock Holmes novel. That was the first book of the series. It talks about how Doctor Watson meets Sherlock Holmes.

   This afternoon, I translated another article that my dad send for me to translate. The article this time talked about why we should know ourself first before we start a business. The article was short.

  So after I've finished translating the article which I have say earlier, I persuaded my dad to let me play game on my computer since I could play on Saturday because our family gonna go to our grandparents' house. I played Star Conflict, a game where we controlled a spaceship trying to shoot and destory other enemy spacechips. I've said about this game on the August 1st entry. I had by now reached a rank 3 ship. I could have u lock a rank 4 ship if only I had enough money. The rank 3 ship was a command ship and an upgrade version of the Axe. And the rank 4 ship was a frigate, which was the upgrade version of the Zealion.

  I am really exciting about Sunday. The church gonna go up somewhere that was nowhere near Hanoi. I dont know why, but I'm just excited for it.

  Yesterday, we only bought a small box of chocolate ice cream since there're already two ice cream on a stick at home for my mom and younger sister. It was just enough. We ate all the ice creams. We each share a story at the family meeting today. I shared the story in the article that I translated earlier that day. The article talk about the four ways that success people learn more. That was a good article. My dad barely need to check it. It didn't have a single spelling problem. Okay, there's maybe a problem or two; but other than that, there's no problem.

  This morning, when I woke up, it was stil few minutes before 6:00 am, so I sleep a little bit more. Luckily, my mom woke me up before it was too late. I was still be able to walk in three miles for less than fourty-six minutes. I was still slower than yesterday. My time today was somewhere about fourty-two minutes. I don't remember the second of my time, though. But surely, it was slower than yesterday. Oh, I just remembered it now. My time was fourty-six minutes and fourty-three seconds. Exactly a minute and one seconds slower than yesterday. Anyway, I bought pho for breakfast today. I bought two bowls of pho for my dad and me.

  In history, we reviewed what we learned for our next history test. This was our last regular test. The next test will be an exam. In math, we stills learn about algebra rules. In Bible, we reviewed for our next Bible test.

  This evening, I translated anither article. I didn't think that this article was better than the last one. The article today was about the thirteen things that successful people do everyday. After I've translated that article, I continued to read the book Mystery Island by Jules Verne. This was a shorten version of the book. I had an old paper version of that book that my dad gave me.

  Tonight, I intended that after dinner, which I will have after I've finished this blog entry, I'm gonna persuade my dad to let me play Star Conflict on my computer since I could play on this Saturday because we had to go to my parents' house on Saturday.

8/1//16

  Last Friday, I used iPad to chat on Messenger in the afternoon. I did it because I thought that at my friends' house, the wifi won't works so I used it at home. Unfortunately, and stills somehow fortunately, there is wifi at my friends' house. But since I didn't brought the iPad, we could talk more than usual. I also "introduced" my friends to the remix song of Jacksepticeye called All the Way by Schoyomo. I also found out that we'll go to a resort somewhere far from Hanoi this Sunday.

  Last Saturday, I played my new game on my computer. It was downloaded through Steam and was probably my most favorite game on computer currently. The game's name was Star Conflict. Star Conflict was a MMO game-a Massively Multiplayer Online game, though I haven't reached the rank to go to the open world yet, I think. Different from other MMO games, in this game, we control a spaceship. We could either fight other players with other players on Pvp (Players versus Players), or we could fight AI with other players on PvE (Players versus Environment). There're nine different ship classes in the game with maybe 12 ranks. And we could choose one of the three factions to start with. That, however, wouldn't stop you from choosing ships from other factions. The three factions are Empire, United Federation, and Jericho. The Imperial ships had strong firepower, whereas the United Federation ships are strong in speed, and Jericho's in shield. So far, I've had a rank 2 frigate, rank 2 command ship, and a rank 2 recon ship on my hangar, which could only equip 3 ships.

  On Sunday, my famiły went to my grandparents house. It was also the day where Disney Channel will air the last episode of Gravity Falls, which was already aired more than a month ago on Disney XD. Somehow, I slept a lot on Sunday. I find myself talking more with my great grandparents than the last time.

  Today, I still succeed in walking three miles for less than fourty-six minutes. My time today was fourty-two minutes and fourty-two seconds. Also, a friend of mine on Facebook ask me that have I
watched the episode of Gravity Falls, and I answer that I have watched it a month ago. Anyway, I've bought ice cream again for tonight family meeting. We're going to start the meeting after I've finished making this blog entry and after my dad took a bath.
