  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.
