A Bad Product

Once I bought a game called Borderlands 2 it looked really cool and heaps of people said it was a good game. When I got home I put the disk in my PS3 and started playing it. Borderlands 2 sucked and it was a waste of my money. One day I invited Hugh to come round to my house and he wanted to play Borderlands 2 which wasn't good because I didn't like that game. We started playing it and it was actually better than when I played it by my self so I found out that playing Borderlands 2 was better playing it with another person. I can't play Borderlands 2 with another anymore because I only have one remote.

A5 Research Rimu

The Rimu, 'Dacrydium Cupressinum' is a native NZ coniferous tree That can live fro more than 1000 years. It is a slow growing tree that can grow up to 50m high and is found in the North Island, South Island, and Stewart Island, particularly the west coast of South Island. Rimu was historically one of the main sources of wood for NZ, and used to make furniture, Weatherboards, flooring & doors. The government does not allow Rimu trees to be cut down in public forests, only limited trees can be cut on private land, however the wood is still used to make furniture and housing. Maori used to use the leaves in the rimu tree in vapour baths, and the wood was used to make weapons such as spears.
Rimu is the best tree in the school because it is a cool tree and it represents the best house in the school.

Cross Country

On the 24th of June our school had cross country. We ran in years like year 7 girls went first, then year 7 boys, then year 8 girls, and finally year 8 boys. When it time for the year 8 boys I ran with my friend we ran one lap then we didn't run a lot on the last lap and I got placed 256. When we had to run around to the finish line the rest of Rimu told us to run so we jogged slowly and then I stopped to pull up my socks.

Computer Game

One computer game I have played is Star Wars the Old Republic. At the start you get to choose who you want to be from a different range of options. After you choose who you want to be you start out on a ship that's been attacked. Then this guy comes in to your room and gives you orders e.g. get dressed. He asks you to follow him to the escape pods to save some important female Jedi you choose from 2 or 3 options e.g. No my life is more important than hers, or fine I guess I can help her for a while. Later the girl is nowhere to seen you get knocked out but you made it to the escape pods which is good. When you wake up you are on this planet were the escape pod had landed. You meet this guy who had saved your life then you can go rome around the planet. While you enjoy your free roming you will run into a few things  and you choose your respons, if you choose a respons thats a bit dark you will slowly turn over to the dark side which I always do.

My Parents Job

My mum works at a kindergarden in Greerton. She teaches ages 3-5 and she works with 2 other people. I'v been a few times and I don't like going there because the kids are weird. Every day when my mum comes home I ask her ow has been and she always says boring so it's obvious she hates her job.

My dad works at the Tauranga City Council. His job at the council is to check peoples plans of making houses and buildings to see if its ok to build it. He gets payed a lot of money so I basically try to get him to buy me something and its usually a chocolate bar.

"What are you doing!?!" I yelled at my sister.
"I'm killing aliens," she replied.
"Well stop killing aliens and revive me quick!" I yelled back at her.
"Hold on I'm busy with this alien that is armor and as a really strong gun and stop yelling at me!" she yelled.
"Well just run away and find me and revive me and it's called a shotgun!" I yelled back.
"I can't just run away he'll follow me and why do you want me rivive you so badly?" asked my sister.
"Oh I don't know maybe so I don't die!" I yelled.
"Fine I'll come find you and rivive you," she said.
"Oh it's to late now I'm dead thanks for the help," I said.

Book Review 3

A while ago finished reading the third book of the How To Train Your dragon series called How To Speak  dragonese. Its a good book and halfway through the middle it has a dictionary of how to speak dragonese. Hiccup, Toothless, and Fishlegs were riding the sea in there little boat called The Hopeful Puffin it leaks, its slow, and it just goes around in donuts. They accidentally aboard a roman ship and Fishlegs starts a little distraction and Hiccup goes to find the roman plan to take over the vikings and make them slaves. Later on Hiccup gets trapped and is put in a dungeon. In that dungeon he meets a Bog-Burglar called Camacazi. Hiccup, Camacazi, and fishlegs have tried Camacazi's many attempts to escape but they always fail. Hiccup is hopping for his dad to come and save him but he never did until it was all over. The leaders of the romans are two nasty people one fat one skinny and at the end we get a surprise guest you want to know who it is you'll have to read the book.

It was a very enjoyable book and loved learning to speak dragonese and really want to read the rest of the series.

The Virus

squeeeak went the door to a bar I got my gun held up and my torch underneath. I was looking everywhere and it was clear.
"Come in it's clear," I said to my homies.
"Ok so why are we at a deserted bar?" asked my mum.
"To get suplies," replied my dad.
"At a bar. What are we looking for a bottle of beer?" asked my mum with sarcasm.
"I wish," said my sister Taylor trying to cool.
"Is this a really good time to be funny?" I asked.
"Calm down," replied Taylor.
"No we might get attacked and maybe bitten," I replied.
"He is right you know," said my dad trying to stop this little argument.
"Ok Taylor just go behind the counter and get some suplies," told my dad.
"Ok," replied Taylor.
She went behind the counter and knelt down to find some suplies. 
 "Look out it's a Zombie!" I yelled.
BANG went my dad's gun headshot straight at the zombie. The zombie fell and my sister screamed.
"Arrrgghh," went two more zombies.
"Don't shoot you'll attract even more zombie they may be deadish but they have very good hearing. Dad you should know because we watched The Walking Dead before all this happened," I told my dad.

The Weekend

On saturday I went to my dad's house. We went to United Video and two games and one movie for a brake. We got The Lord Of The Rings War In The North,  Injustice Gods Among Us, and Resident Evil Retribution. The frist game we played was The Lord Of The Rings, we could choose our character out of Farin champion of Erebor he is a dwarf, Andrial spell caster she is an elf, and Eredan devious ranger he is human. I chose the Farin because dwarves are beast and my dad chose Eredan he would have chose Andrial if she was a boy. It was a really fun fantasy game and you don't have missions you have quests. In the first quest we got to kill goblins and two trolls there were more than one part of the quest there were at least three parts of the quest. The second quest had to kill zombies and rock throwing ghosts, the third quest had to kill orcs and ice trolls. My dwarf had really beast strong armor and a beast sword with a shield so I wouldn't get shot by archers. My dad had two swords cool leather armor and a beast leather hood.

We had a brake had a dinner and watched Resident Evil Retribution. We had pie and peas and gravy. Resident Evil Retribution was really cool.

The we played Injustice Gods Among Us it was an arcade game created by the creator of Mortel Kombat. I beat my dad heaps of times he only beat me twice lol.

Book Review 2

I have just finished read the 10th book of the series How to Train your Dragon: How to Seize a Dragons jewel. Continuing from the 9th book Hiccup is an outcast and is left alone with his two dragons Toothless and Windwaker being hunted by both human and dragon. Every one who stood up for Hiccup is against the evil king Alvin the Treacherous and his mother the witch and are now slaves. From all the attacks from the dragon rebellion the only place left was the dragon's graveyard prison Darkheart. Hiccup and the king are searching for the dragon jewel, the only thing that can save them from the dragon rebellion. Hiccup isn't only looking for the dragon jewel he is also looking for his best friend Fishlegs who mysteriously disappeared.

This was a really good book and I love how it continues from the 9th book and I also loved all the mysteries this will give you.

Idioms

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush

What it means: Having something certain is much better than taking a risk for more, because chances are you might lose everything.

Example: When your gaming you might have to take a risk and choose something and you won't know what will happen.

My dad

My dad is Batman that makes me Robin he has hair but he likes being bold. He has has defeated The Joker multiple times. My dad loves Star Wars if you say that Star Trek and Star Wars are the same (there not) he will say something to prove that there not the same. He has white hair on his chin and I like poking his face because he gets grumpy. My dad loves comics but I love them more he also loves football. Were both gamers but I game more. My dads favorite superhero is Wolverine and he sucks at arcade games e.g. DC Universe vs Mortel Kombat, and Marvel vs Capcom 3. He swears a lot at people who make him furios.

Yesterday our class had a chat about charging our laptops at school. We had a few negatives ans a few positives.

Negatives: It costs a lot of money, there will be wires everywhere

Suggestions for solving problem: You should charge for only for one block or between morning tea and lunch.

Opinions: I think that you should charge between morning tea and lunch.

The weekend

Saturday morning I woke around 9 o'clock I turned on my tv then my PS3 and started playing Bioshock Infinite. I played it all morning until it was 2 o'clock because my mum made me take it back to United Video in Fraser cove I was very sad. It was a really fun but frustrating game. It based in the year 1912 in the floating city Columbia it also had really old fashioned guns and lots of machines that gave a lot of damage. There were giant robots with big hands that can make stuff electric that was hard I was just spamming with my gun and started using my powers. There was also this guy in a suit of armor that was on fire and he threw fire grenades. There were other machines but the most frustrating one was the mmg. Then it came to sunday my dad picked me and my sister up at 11: 30 we went to United Video to rent a movie and a game we got The Watch (movie) and the new Star Trek game. The movie was really funny and the game was alright but its not as good as it looks. I got stuck playing 2 player with my sister I very annoyed because she is very very very very very very very bad at games the only game she is good at is Sims. She took so long to just hack this thing to open a door I was angry. At the start it didn't work for a while so my dad fixed and he gave us the wrong remotes so she was Spock and I kirk (main characters of Star trek) she was mad bro. I wish my dad knew a lot about Star Trek because I want to know if the color of the shirts mean anything but he didn't know.

Book review 1

I finished reading this book called How to train your dragon: How to steal a dragon's sword. How to steal a dragon's sword is the 9th book in the 10 book series (I'm reading the 10th book now). It had a slow start but later on it got better and better. The main character is called Hiccup he is a small weedy character, he has a fang free hunting dragon called Toothless and a blue riding dragon called Windwalker. His best friend is called Fishlegs he is also small and weedy but he is very weird who is scared of everything, he has a small dragon that looks like a cow with wings and is also scared everything. Camacazi is another friend of Hiccups, she has blonde hair and is very tough who likes dangerous things. She is a master burglar and is prepared for anything.

I thought it was a really good book and I hope they make an 11th book for the series.
