Did you watch the awesome event?

Last Sunday, my dad's choir sang for the Sunday Mass at St. Luke's church. The mass started at half past ten. After Mass, we went to Papa toe for a household prayer meeting. When the household prayer meeting was over we proceeded to Countdown. We bought some food and drinks that wanted to share with our friends. We Watched the world boxing fight between Floyd May weather and our fellow country man Manny Pacquiao.

After my friend's dad finally set up the T.V we started to watch the boxing fight. There were do many people gathered in the house to watch the fight.When the boxers went out of the dressing room we were so excited.

Manny's background music was of his own composition wrote the song. His friends and family were all there his Mother, his wife and supporters were all there. A choir sang the Filipino National anthem. The national anthem of mexico and U.S.A were also sang.

Then the bell rang and the host said "Let's get ready to rumble." The first three rounds were good because Manny had good punches but then in the round's Floyd scored higher points.

After twelve rounds, the winner was announced. We were all sad because Manny lost but for us he is always the winner. He fought a good fight Manny said that he will fight again. Hopefully he could train hard and wins the next fight.

Have you ever been to the Philippines?

       

We were at the airport waiting for take off to go to Philippines to reunite again with my grandparents and friends. On the air plane, there were small screen's in front of us and we had headphones for each seat. They also gave us blankets just in case it was too cool from the air conditioning.

Then it was finally time for take off so we had to fasten our seatbelts and watch the clip for emergency instructions. Then the captain said "Now we will be taking off". So I watched as the air plane took off.
When we arrived at the Philippines international air port, our grand parents saw us coming out of immigration.

They were so happy to see us and we were so happy to see them as well. When we arrived at the house, we slept anticipating the next day. We decided to go to the zoo the next day. My baby brother was amazed to see, all the animals in the zoo. We went to the kid's zoo so we could take pictures. l

The following week we went to a fast food place called Jollibee.
It is a famous fast food restaurant in Philippines just like McDonald. After that we went to the beach, my brother and I played in the water. It was so much fun there but then we had to go back home. Then in the last week of my holiday, we went to a restaurant called Max. This Is an other famous place in Philippines. My dad ordered some chicken and I ordered a chicken burger. Then our day ended so has our holiday and felt sad. We went to the airport the next day to fly home to New Zealand. I had a great time spending time with my grand parents and my friends. Hopefully I can stay there longer next time.

My funny bunny called Oreo!

On Sunday, my parents bought a new pet for me as an advanced birthday present. I felt very happy because I have always wanted to have a pet. They gave me a bunny rabbit and I named him Oreo, because my pet bunny is coloured black and white just like the colour of Oreo Cookie!

When I woke up that morning, my dad said that they had a surprise for me at the pet store so I hurried to put on my clothes. I asked my mum is a my mum in a low voice saying, “What is the surprise?” My mum told me, “Your dad is getting you a new pet as long as it is a cheap bunny”. When we went to the car, my dad blindfolded me so that I couldn't see the surprise they had in store for me.

I was so excited that I could not wait to get there. When we got to the pet shop, my dad took off my blindfold so I could see the pets inside the pet store. Then I hurriedly went to the bunny area and said, “I want the black and white baby bunny”. I brought the bunny to the counter and my dad paid for it. I cuddled my precious pet while my parents bought some pet food for my new bunny.  

Finally, we went back home to play with my bunny. He is the best pet I have in my life. After a little while, we watched on you tube on how we can take care of our bunny properly. I will try my best to follow what I have learned from the Internet. My baby brother and I went to our mum and dad and asked them if  we could get a hutch for my bunny .

I really enjoyed my weekend.  I hope that I will get another pet in the future because if it’s not too expensive because I know that I will have fun looking after it.

My Thrilling afternoon!

It was not a dream… but it felt like a dream... but it actually happened at Lynton Rd near Sylvia Park…...

Yesterday my whole family was at my uncle’s house near Sylvia park for a household prayer meeting. Me and my friend were playing computer games while the adults were praying. When the praying was over, we had a fellowship and we ate pizza, cheese cake and drank coke. Then, we got ready to go home. When we got to our car, we saw a big truck blocking our way. My dad and his friend went to the man who owned the truck. My dad politely asked him if he could move out his 10 wheeler truck so we can get out of the driveway. The truck owner was drunk and he got mad to be disturbed even for just a few minutes. He started swearing, saying ‘get the f word out of here!’ .My dad and his friend to backed off  straight away to avoid trouble. They tried to figure out how we can safely get out from there.

Suddenly, the drunk man started clapping and cheering like he was crazy. It gave me the creeps!  He pointed at a huge rock the size of my net book. Then he picked up the bolder and threw it at our car then pointed a middle finger at us. He was so rude!!! My dad honked the car as loud as he could while my mum, my brother and I were all shocked and scared to death. I thought we were all going to die! Praise God the bolder did not hit our car and nobody got hurt. I thanked God for protecting me and my family.

Finally, we were able to get out of the driveway and we were so relieved.  My parents decided to give us a family treat after what happened so we went straight to Hoyt's Sylvia Park to watch Transformer 4.

We arrived at the cinema just in time for the movie to start. I was so thrilled because the movie was awesome.  When we came home after the movie, my dad phoned and reported to the police everything that happened at my uncle’s house with the drunk man.

I hope that the police will teach that man a lesson so that he will not do it to other people.
