  Yesterday, I doesn't wrote about what happened during that day as normal. Instead, I wrote about movies. Today, I might sum up what happened today and yesterday. Oh, and also, I started rereading the fifth and last book of Arinthian Line, Legend. This book is still interesting after months of reading it the first time. I was really, really wishing for the next series about Augum, Bridget, and Leera. The next series will be a trilogy, as stated by Sever Bronny at the end of Legend. I am even more anticipating for this than, for example, Star Wars VII, which is coming to cinema this May, though maybe not at that month in Vietnam.

  Ok, let's talk about class yesterday now. In science, Mr. Ender brought an astronomical binocular. This binocular makes picture bigger by twenty five, or more, times its normal size. And its front lens are one hundred millimeters in diameter. That binocular compared ro Mr. Ender's hand looks ridiculous. The length of the binocular is two and a half times longer than Mr. Ender's hand width. You might as well use to beat someone up. And he even said that it doesn't cost much. He then saids it only cost a hundred or two hundreds dollars, as if we have enough money to consider that cheap. In other subjects, there are nothing noticeable. However, after this next test, we are going to talk about the Cold War era. I don't know why, but after reading the Cold War section before class, I started to feel that some parts of it is actually really interesting. We talked about peace times as well was war times. The wars in this section wasn't interesting, really. As for mathmetics, we are now relearning solid shapes, shapes that had three dimensions such as cubes, rectangular prism, cone, etc.

  English is a language that really combined words of many other languages. It had French, German. And it even Latin in it, such as et cetera, anno domini, and so on.

  Yesterday, I watched a movie called Doom. Dwayne Johnson starring as a sergeant of the space marines. In this movie, the space marines are sent to protect the property of a research center on Mars. There are scientist that were changed into monster due to the expiriments conducted there. It was surprising to see Dwayne Johnson in that movie since movies inspired by video games don't aren't gonna be famous, thus don't often attract famous actors. But this movie was made in 2005, and I don't think that Dwayne Johnson was famous by then. But amaybe I was wrong. Maybe famous actors do played in movies inspired by video games. One example is Assasin's Creed the Movie. This movie had Michael Fassbender, the actor who star as a main character in the movie called Macbeth. I also observed that Dwayne Johnson almost always had a beard in action movies but not in comedy movies. The only exception to this theory that I know of is the movie Doom. Doom certainly isn't a comedy movie. It actually was classified as "horror sci-fi movie" by Wikipedia. I searched this on Wikipedia via my Kindle.

  Last Saturday's evening, I went to my friend's house to learn English. I finally told our teacher to let us stop watching the Alpha videos. Instead, I proposed that we talked. I first intended to bring the paper printed version of the game. That board game required a lot of talking to each other so I think it would be a good idea. However, I have forgotten to do so. That is why my next plan is to play the browser version of the game. There is another unfortunate situation that prevented us to play this game. This game required at least five people. And we only have three. It said that there are several hundreds of people in the lobby. And not a single person join the game. However, we are still able to talk through another game. The last game we played is like this. Everyone thinks of an object. After everyone had chosen their object, one person thinks of an scenerio so that the other people could think of how they could use their object. It was quite fun, even though I don't think that I can say the same for other people.

  About Sunday's noon, I went out to buy another book. This book is entitled The Copper Gauntlet of the Magisterium series. By this time, I really think there was something unusual about me keep buying the book in the middle of the series for several times. First, it was the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series. Then, it was rhe Arinthian Line series. Next, it was a light novel series called Tokyo Stray Wizards. And finally, it was the Magisterium series. In the first three series, I always bought the thrid book first.

  We are now gathering stuffs that we are going to sell before we went move. We are getting very close. But I might have to take a TOEFL test in order to be able to study at this school that I am to study at when we get there.

    I might have talked about this. I hve watched the Smoshgame crew played a game called Secret Hitler once. A few days ago, I found that they have made another video of them play Secret Htiler. I had decided to find the game's website. On their website, they said that we could print a version of Secret Hitler on our own. I also stumbled upon a website that had a free online version of Secret Hitler. All you need to do is enter your email and play. I wish that I had some friends whom I could play this game with. I am considering either making my friends on Facebook to be interested in this game or bringing my own printed version of the game to my friends on tomorrow's afternoon.

  I had finally finished with all the science fair project thingy. The last part is the oral presentation, which I had just finished in this afternoon. It was quite a long process to go through all of the science fair project thing. Also, the school haven't sent my report cards yet.

  Today, unfortunately, there is no good movie. And our family doesn't go to church because my dad was still ill, so I'm kind of not knowing what to do. I suppose that I could read Illiad, but there haven't been any details of the fighting yet. And the only battle accounted yet is only in one or two sentences that said that the Greek lost. In short, it was kind of boring.

  So I might have forgot to make blog entries for the last few days in this week. That is why I am going to summarize the important facts here.

  On Monday, my dad and I go watched Fast & Furious 8 in cinema. The movie was pretty good. To me, it was better than Fast & Furious 7. Luckily, it wa the first Monday of April, which there is a promotion that said that a 2D movie ticket would only cost 45,000 vnd. Before the movie started, we went down to the bookstore just to check if there are some good books. I bought another book written by Rick Riordan. This book is in another series called Magnus Chase. Magnus Chase was the name of the main protagonist. This series, however, doesn't seem to be in Camp Half-Blood Chronicle, which talked about Percy Jackson's adventure. This series talked about Norse gods instead of Greek or Roman gods.

  Today, I had finally received the email about the recommendation letter. I had sent the request for recommendation letter and report cards. I also finished my experiment of seeing if everything is easier to break when they are frozen. I had 3 specimens. First one is a tissue paper. Second one is a onion leaf. And third is a soft plastic tube. My hypothesis is that the first two will break easily. They are already tin and soft and would break easily of harden. The results is what I expected. The onion leaf is the easiest to break. The tissue paper is a little bit harder. I broke the ice, but some of the tissuewere  still intact. The soft plastic tube doesn't break at all. Tonight, I would have to write a oral presentation for tomorrow on my expiriment.

  Nothing much to talk about yesterday's night except that I watched YouTube instead of watchign movies on the television, again. But there is also another reason. On second thought, nevermind. I was about to say that the reason is that my younger sister is watching movie on the television. But that wasn't on Wednesday's night. It was actually on Tuesday's night. My dad had some of his friends coming over. They talked about Dash and learn about installing masternode from my dad. They doesn't go home until quite late at night. One of those two friends is my uncle. He went home at 11:00 pm while the other person went home at 3:00 am today.

  This morning, I woke up quite late. And by late, I mean ten minutes later than usually. That means it was 8:10 am. Unfortunately, my DVD player's remote controller was broken since yesterday's evening. I was unable to control anything. As the result, I had to do all the book works and read the textbooks instead of watching the videos. However, I am able to solve that problem. I used tapes and tissue paper to fix it. It works quite good. It works 11 out of 12 times I press a button after I was able to fixed it. That was one of the things that I have ever achieved and make me proud. In fact, that was the thing that made me proudest today.

  Yesterday's night, I played Team Fortress 2 on my computer. I have said before that using Sniper that was equipped with a sniper rifle is one of the hardest ways to play Team Fortress 2. Now I would loke to add that it was one of the hardest way unless you are lucky. The reason I said so is because yesterday, I just got seven kills in one life. And all of those kills are headshots. Six of those kills are me headshotting enemy's sniper. I even dominate an enemy sniper. The other kill was me headshotting a sticky grenade jumped Demoman. It was pure coincidence. I doesn't even dream of headshotting him. I was just trying to do as much damage to him as I can. I also crafted the Medic's Crusader's Crossbow. It was Medic's primary weapon. It had only one shot per reload, but it was also able to heal allies as good as damaging enemies.

  Today, I learned how to draw congruent angles and parallel lines. Unfortunately, the parallel lines aren't so good. The congruent angles results are better, however. I also had a bunch of other tests. Those are done pretty good, if I am to say so myself. I also found out that the Illiad doesn't talked about other Greek mythologies other than from the beginning of the War of Troy to its end. Ironically, what I wanted now is to read about the Greek mythologies before the War of Troy. Myabe this is the result of reading all those Camp Half-Blood chronicles books.

  We had been on a trip to south of Vietnam and even into Cammbodia for three weeks. I had written down all of the notable things that happened during the trip in the last entry. I didn't write about anything during the last few days that we stayed in Saigon. I did bought two card sets with pictures of the anime Date A Live on it. I used a bus to get there. Our hotel was way in District 11, and the store was at District 5. I have never used a bus in Saigon before. I doesn't have a phone to direct my way either. All I have is the names of the streets, which I got by searching on Google Map via my laptop before I go, that I have to go to to get to the store. I gave one set of card to my friend. And I kept the other set. We went home using an airplane instead of a train as we had used to went down South.

  We arrived to Ninh Giang, which was where my grandparents lives, on Monday. We arrived at Ha Noi at Tuesday. For a few days, things are kind off slow. I didn't learn anything on Tuesday. On Thursday, I went to my mom's parents home because it was a holiday.

  For the last few days, I was reading Rick Riordian's Camp Half-Blood chronicles. I had finished Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. I also read the first two books of Heroes of Olympia series. I  was still missing three books in the Heroes of Olympia series. I had the first book of the next series, however. The series was called Trials of Apollo, and the first book was called The Prophecy. I was reading it the second time. This series's narrator was Apollo. In this series, Apollo was turned into a human because his son, Octavian, supported Gaia.
