Hi! So, as you can tell, I’m Asian, and, I’m writing this to inform you about what I celebrate. The big holiday in my family, like many others, is Christmas 🎅! After all, who doesn’t love getting presents! While we don’t usually have a Christmas tree, we still buy presents 🎁 for each other. One year, I even got a toy dog that walks!

Another holiday that we celebrate is Thanksgiving 🦃! Most people don’t know, but I’m a vegetarian. My dad is also a vegetarian and my mom is vegan. So, while we don’t eat things like turkeys, we still eat things like pumpkin pie (which I love, by the way)!

The final holiday that we celebrate is Chinese New Year 🐉! We don’t do anything crazy, we just give all of our relatives and friends HongBao, the red envelopes that contain money! What holidays do you guys celebrate? I’m really interested!

Hey guys!

For week 5 of the STUBC, my teacher asked us to complete 4 of the 8 tasks. So, this is my second one, a survey! This survey asks about your preference of music to listen to. Personally, I like EDM and rap because I don’t really like slow songs or anything like that. I’m really interested in what everyone says! To take the survey click here!

Now that the blogging challenge is over, I am lost on what to post. If you have any suggestions, feel free to comment them!

During the challenge, I met Israa Abdulela and Ruby803! They commented on my About page and we discussed our similar interests and ideas! Thanks for reading!

Hi everyone! For Week 8 of the blogging challenge, my teacher did not assign us any of the tasks. Instead, she’s having us reflect on ourselves. During the blogging challenge, I wrote 13 published posts and have 53 total comments on my blog. My favorite post to write was “My Emoji Art!” because it was fun to use MS Paint to create an emoji. I do not plan to keep posting in the future because I will most likely be inconsistent and I am not sure what to post. Thank you for reading about my journey through blogging!

Hey Guys!

So, for week 6 of the blogging challenge, I chose for my second task to be creating an emoji. I chose to make an Asian emoji. Behold my creation:

What’s up guys!

If you have read my about page, then you will know that I play the flute. This is my 4th year playing and I really enjoy it! Here are some facts about a flute:

1. It was held vertically when it was first made
2. The clarinet’s key placement is based on flute keys
3. The flute is a woodwind
4. It does not have a reed
5. It takes a moderate amount of air to play
6. It takes practice to play correctly (like everything 😂)
7. You do not place your finger on every key
8. You can learn to play really high (Which is a lot of fun by the way)
9. On a lot of advanced songs, you have to play really high really quickly, so you have to spend a lot of time practicing
10. You get the melody on many songs, so, everyone has to play quieter so the audience can hear you!

Here is a picture of a gentleman playing a flute:

I hope this little list helped some of you guys understand the flute a bit better!

What’s up guys!

So, for Week 5 of the blogging challenge, I decided to make a quiz about music! If you read my about page, you will know that I play the flute. I am in my school’s advanced band so I also have a fair amount of knowledge on instruments. Take my quiz to put your knowledge to the test right here!

There was a bride who was in her car on the way to her wedding on a no-pedestrian road. There were horses in her car. Then, she went on a monorail and she had honey. Then she went snowboarding and became a princess and married an old man. She was angry and plotted EVIL things. Then, she went down a monorail and was sad and gave birth to a baby in a no-smoking zone. Then the baby learned how to ride a bike and throw a football. The baby then kissed a dog that had lipstick on it. Then a cat appeared, along with a monkey, and a fish and they were all happy to see a baby. A rabbit then came. A man appeared and stole the baby and brought it aboard a ship, the baby was really happy. The END!

For Week 5 of the Blogging Challenge, my playlist consists of only 2 songs: “Slide” by Calvin Harris, Frank Ocean, and Migos and “Rollin” from Calvin Harris and Khalid. Then, I just put these songs on loop and play video games for hours on end. If you want to listen to these songs, I recommend looking them up on YouTube if you want to listen to them.

 

This week, my teacher challenged my class to write a summary of a scholarly article that we found related to our blog theme. I found an article about the Warriors coach, Steve Kerr, wanting to take his team on a vacation to Italy to “ride bikes and sip wine”. The reporter says that the Warriors have made it to the playoffs for five straight seasons and have had no time for breaks or vacations. So, it is not as crazy as most think.  The article also talks about how the Warriors lost Kevin Durant in a free agency and lost Klay Thompson due to a knee injury. The writer says that “The reality, though, is that the Warriors will be just fine if they miss the 2020 postseason. Chase Center will be full and sparkly no matter what happens — and they will be back in the 2021 title mix regardless.”So, it is safe to say that the Warriors are having a reset season. After all, they have lost some of their core players and are welcoming some newbies. My question for you is: Do you think the Warriors will make it to the postseason?
