Nightmare Time

My Sad Dream/Nightmare

by Maile Ward

Hello fellow bloggers and readers. Today’s blog is about a dream I had on vacation once. I would say that this is more of a nightmare than a good dream. Why? Because when I woke up that morning, I was crying. So I hope you enjoy this blog.

It was a warm night in Crymsville, the year was 1980. It was Sunday at 10:30pm. The moon was full with usual line through it. A woman was pacing in her room, thinking about Operation Moon Breakdown. That was when the moon would break in half. Surprisingly, the moon was still holding together pretty well.

 She was very worried about it. Many people asked why she seemed so nervous. It was true. A lot of people did not know about the upcoming disaster. But the she was in luck because she knew how, when, and what was happening. She was also pregnant with 5 girls and 2 boys.

The next day, it happened. The babies were born on Monday at 3:30pm. They were born at the Crymsville Hospital. The babies names were Raina, Alexa, Lily, Emily, Mara, Jane, Erik, and Johnny. The same day, the moon gave in to the force.

 The moon broke in a complete half line. Many people tried not say their goodbyes early. Sadly, the mother was trying not to look at the moon. But she could not make it. She looked at the new half moon and was dead in seconds. 

 Ever since then, every 2 years the full moon would have the line in it. The line would be there for 1 week. This is when it gets even more creepy. The souls of the people who were killed by the moon would began to roam the city in their own bodies. But when the moon becomes half again, the souls go back to their graves.

Then, 20 years later in the year 2000, Raina, Alexa, Lily, Emily, Mara, Erik, and Johnny realised what happened to their mom that died and wanted to know more about how and why she died. Soon they found out that the moon would have the line in it again 2 months from then. So they had to find out more before the moon was out in 2 months. They searched and searched. Finally they found info about the past of the moon

 Two months later, the day before the moon would have the line, the siblings prepared. They packed their clothes, personal belongings, etc. They were planning to run away till the moon was back to normal again. It was a perfect plan. But Alexa knew that she could not go. So she looked at the moon and died. That is when I woke up.

My History with the Piano

Piano History

by: Maile Ward

  Hello again. Today I will do a blog about my history with the piano. Yay. By the way, I have decided that I am going to discontinue the Learn More About Me blogs. Sorry to those who liked it. But the good news is that I will do other blogs with parts too. So lets begin.

  The first piano classes I took were overall pretty boring and I didn’t really learn anything from them. Also I only did them for about a year and then the teacher stopped her classes. But on the good side, I happened to live in a house that had a Grand Piano in it. So I had a piano to practice on when classes were over. When I was a kid I watched a show called Little Einsteins. In every episode there was a song that was mostly written by a very famous composer. In one episode the song Ode to Joy by Ludwig van Beethoven. I learned the song in my piano classes, but not the whole song. So I played the part I learned on the piano then I listened to the song on the show, and by using my voice as a note finder, I taught myself how to play Ode To Joy on the piano. After that I started using my voice more and more to teach myself how to play songs on the piano. Years later I taught myself how to play Let It Go by Idina Menzel from the movie Frozen. Now I’m starting to make up my own songs on the piano. Like I said earlier today “If Disney hired me to play the piano for their movies, I would be really happy.”. This is my history with the piano. I hope you enjoyed this blog and I will see you guys in the next one. Goodbye.

Time

                                                 ...Time...

   Time is important and everybody has equal time.  The thing is, time never waits for anyone like a marathon or running a race. When the race starts time will run like runner running forward. Many time people try to run a race with time, try to win, try to run ahead of time, but no one can ever win. If you are racing with time you will get tired and feel like you losing all your hope, but if you jog slowly and calmly, one day you will realize that you are running along side with time. 

         So don't try to do everything the same time very quickly. There is a Thai poem that says it better to catch a fish with two hand because you will get that fish. But if you try to get two fish with two hands the same time, then you won't get any fish. So slow down and run your life a calm and peaceful race and do whatever you have ability to do...

Learn more about Me part 2

by: Maile Ward

 Hello readers. Welcome to part 2 of Learn more about Me. I hope you enjoyed part 1. So lets get started. :D

 Johnny followed me, calling my name. I know this sounds very dramatic but it’s what really happened. After that, I started hanging out with Johnny a lot. Then Ms. Christie (a teacher that I enjoyed being with) told me that every Tuesday at lunchtime I would get my lunch and come to her office to talk about the day and other things. So I started doing that. It was pretty fun. I have a question for you readers. Have you ever had a “boyfriend” (a friend that’s a boy) that you had a serious crush on? Well I had a crush on Johnny. That crush definitely affected me in the best possible way. One Tuesday when I was walking to Ms. Christie’s office, I met up with Johnny. Mostly he would be at least 2 feet away from me but this time he was so close that if I took one small step to the left I would bump into him. He followed me to Ms. Christie’s office. When we got there Ms. Christie asked if we liked to build things with Legos. When we said yes she got out a Lego Star Wars Millennium Falcon set. She told us that we would have to come every Tuesday and work together to complete it. We never did finish it though.

 I hope you like this part. I decided that this blog will be split into 3 or even 4 parts. So I will see you in part 3. Bye.

Learn More about Me

Learn more about Me part 1

by: Maile Ward

  

  Hello again. Today I will tell you about me and my life so far. So hold on tight because this is true facts about me. So if you enjoy something else like reading a blog series or reading blogs about random things I suggest that you read another blog. Those who are interested in my blogs can read on. So let’s get started. (By the way my real name is Maile Ward not Autumn Colmen)

  I was born on May 7, 2002 (5/7/2002). When I was a baby, instead of learning to crawl first, I didn’t crawl at all. I just skipped the stage of crawling and went to the stage of walking. When I was about 4 years old, me and my family moved to Thailand. We moved because my dad got called to come to Thailand by God (Yesuah,Messiah,Jesus). We first lived in Chiang Rai then we moved to Chiang Mai and then to Mae Sot. When I was about 9 or 10 years old, I went to a school called Chiang Mai International School (CMIS). Here I met two of my friends, Amanda and Arielle. Arielle introduced me to Amanda. As I remember when I met Amanda, I was very talkative and she was really shy and quiet, but it didn’t really matter to me. Then my life got a little darker (mean/heart break levels rise). After knowing Amanda for some time, Lucy and Hong (2 bullies in our grade, 4-5 grade) started bullying me. One time I was enjoying a normal lunch break walking around the school. Then I saw my friends (Amanda, Arielle, and Kim) running toward me. They told me that Lucy made an I Hate Maile Club and asked them to join. Of course they said no and ran to tell me. I felt very angered when I heard that. One side of me wanted to punch Lucy in the face but the other side knew that it was wrong to hurt someone. Then Arielle left to Australia. I met a boy one day during lunch. His name was Johnny. He was a great friend. But then things got weird. Me and Amanda drift apart (not close friends) and at lunch one day I sat with Johnny. While I was eating I looked up and saw Amanda looking at me and making heart shapes with her hands. I sat there very surprised. Then after lunch I ran away from Johnny feeling very embarrassed and sad.

 This blog for my life is split into 2 parts because this blog would be long and boring if it didn’t. So see you in part 2. :D

Clouds

              Clouds

 

 
Clouds are beautiful things, they have several different shapes, they provide shade, and they also provide rain. What is interesting about clouds is that they never have the same shape as I noticed at first. 



Sometimes they have many different colours like orange, pink, red, blue, dark blue, and purple. I like to look at clouds in the early morning and late evening because the cloud will cover the sun like it is eating the sun. It causes very cool looking colours to appear.

Sometimes the sky doesn't have any clouds which makes the sky look really clear and empty like a blank piece of paper. In some places the sky is full of clouds and becomes very dark.

When I was young I always thought that clouds do not move because they seem to just sit in place like couch potatoes, but I was wrong. Now I know that clouds do move but they just move very slowly. When I look at the cloud I just feel very peaceful, soft, and smooth. 

I don't really know how the clouds are like or feel like, but I have learned that clouds are water vapor in the sky forming a huge group to become clouds.

For me it's just really interesting how God designs all the clouds in the sky, for me clouds look huge and heavy but if they really are heavy, how can it float in the sky?

Lily's Life Story part 4

Lily’s Life Story part 4

By: Autumn Colmen

  Thank you for waiting patiently for part 4 to come. I also have some changes in place. As you can see I changed my name from Andrea Colmen To Autumn 

Colmen. Why? Because I think it sounds better. Sorry if part 3 was either boring or not as good as part 1 and part 2. I was just really short on inspiration. I hope you like this part. This is the final part of this story. Enjoy.

  Lily opened her eyes to see a shining, morning sunlight coming through her window. She looked at her bedside table. Lily saw the huge pile of “see you in heaven” and “get well soon” cards. She felt astonished to know that the doctor said she would die the night before but she was still alive. “How peculiar.” said a voice right beside her. “Huh?” said Lily. “I am Sam 3.0, your nurse today. How are you feeling this morning Lily?” said Sam 3.0. “I’m feeling good but how do you know my name?” questioned Lily. “My creator programmed me to know the name of someone just by looking at them. I need to tell someone about this new notice.” said Sam 3.0. The robot left the room, leaving Lily by herself for about 5 minutes. Then her mom and dad stepped into the room, the doctor following them. “Lily? Your alive? But how?” said the doctor with a surprised voice. “I don’t know.” said Lily “All I remember is falling asleep last night.”. Everyone was quiet for quite a while. The next day Lily told her parents that she wanted to share something at church. When it was time for her to share she got on the stage. “About a year ago my sister got murdered. Ever since that day I was so angry with God for what happened to her.” said Lily. “So I stopped following God. I stopped praying to him, I stopped going to church, and I stopped loving him all together.” Lily said. “But in the time that I was away from him I had a lot of trouble and heart ache. Yesterday I started to realise that God let all that trouble happen to me because he wanted me back.” Lily ended her speech and every one started clapping. From then on Lily loved God with all her heart and mind. The End

  Wow this story is amazing. I really hope you liked this story. See you in my next blog. Bye. :)

Oily Post

         There is actually one activity that Burmese people like to play on their new year celebration. I don't know what the game was call, but I will name it "Oily Post" this game was really hilarious and it was pretty hard to win kind of game! The materials are not much, they'll have one long bamboo log, any kind of oil (cooking oil also work), and people that will play the game (most of the time I only see guys playing). 

          How the game work is they will dig a hole in the ground and put a bamboo tree there then they will poke a little hole on top of the bamboo log. They will put something like a stick with flag or money on top of it then they will pour oil on top the bamboo log and make it really slippery. Then they will divide people into a group of three to four to capture the flag and  that how the game begin!!  

     They will go one group at a time to try and use all their strategies to climb on the bamboo log by using people that they have. They will have to make a human ladder and they aren't  allowed to use the real ladder. 

      And the team that successfully get the flag will be a winner of the oily post game and they will get the rewards that they are fighting for.

                                                             Timothy's life

                   

                     

         There is a peaceful young man named Timothy, he is 20 years old, he born in Philippines, but he move to Thailand with his family when he was seven.  He learned boxing when he was twelve until he was nineteen, and he was very good in it too.  

        When there are people that will have a fight with him or going to punch him, he will use his boxing skills by defend himself and knock the person down immediately. Actually Timothy and his family are christian, his parent are missionaries, and everyday his parent will tell him about God’s love. One day when the school are out Timothy walk down the sidewalk to get home, the bullies come and say bad word or yell at him and normally Timothy will just use his skill to kick and punch all the bullies down, but that day he didn’t. You might think why? Let me tell you why, because Timothy life change everyday and he become more nice person and friendly. Because of his parent that they keep telling him how much Jesus love him and every single person in this world. How it said in the Bible to love your enemies and pray for them. 

         On that day Timothy didn't fight back but he went to the bullies and stand in front of them and said "Jesus love you man" and he went away. The bullies were so confuse cause at first they thought Timothy will going to have a fight but instead he bless them. Before in that kind of situation Timothy will open the fight and never lose even the bullies are more in number, cause he have the boxing skill, but this happen because his heart is change.  

        A person that is a fighter didn't win the fight by his skills but by the power of Jesus Christ in his heart that change his life. Thank you for reading this story even though I am so bad at making story I suppose you might see a lot of mistakes in grammar and vocab, but this is a made up story so don't be serious with it.

Lily's life Story 3#

Lily’s Life Story part 3

by Andrea Colmen

  Hello random citizens, I hope you liked part 2. It’s still ok if you didn’t. As I said part 2 is very sad and dark. But if you want the end of this emotional torture to come, now is your time. Well I will try not to conclude the story in sadness and darkness, but it might just saying. So relax in your favourite spot, keep calm and say part 3, here we come!

  It already had been 1 year of the emotional, stressful, and heart breaking torture. Lily had been in school for the whole year, not missing one day of it.  It was stressful. Literally one day while riding to school with her mom, she started to cry. Finally the worst effects started to settle in. Lily became sick with a rare and mostly unknown illness called stressfulness syndrome. She had to stay away from school for the illness was extremely contagious. “I have had enough of this torture, it’s stupid crap that should be avoidable at a very simple rate.” Lily said, shouting at the top of her lungs. The doctor came back with horrible news the next day. “ Mrs. and Mr. Jackson, I’m sorry to tell you this but your daughter is so stressed, she is dying, there is nothing we can do to cure this fatal disease.”. Lily was growing more and more weak by the second. At this rate she would be dead by the next day. “God, help me please, I don’t want to die, please help me!” Lily managed to speak one last time before taking the final breath.

  Trust me, the story will end happily. I just hope Lily will survive to see the next sunrise. See you in part 4. Bye.

                          

                   An Art Of Sound 

   

   Hey guys! Lee Yong Hoon again, today I will tell/teach you something about music. Music is an art of sound and a form of entertainment that puts sounds together in a way that people like. People have their own favorite music style like pop, rock, swing, R&B, classic, jazz, and so on. 

My favorite music style are mostly jazz but sometime I listen to other style too it depend on my feeling. Today I have a little tip for all the pianist when they play piano. To make a sound more beautiful for me when I play piano I will use a chord called “major7.” You can make major7 from almost every chord. How to do this chord is...when you play any chord you have to add the major7 note, you have to count down two more notes form the chord you are playing and there you get the major7 chord.

                        This is C major chord

                 This is when I add major7 chords to it

                   Another example is F major chord

 Count down two more notes (or and another note which is the major7)

   So this is it little common chord that almost every jazz pianist us e and if you don't understand which I hope you might not. You can find how to play major7 chord in Google or YouTube there are hundreds of episodes waiting for you there. You will find more confuse chords online like major9, m7, major7(+9), 7, 11, 13, and wow I not making this up but if you learn more about piano you will understand what I talking about. So I hope this might help some.... 

          

                          PEACE!!!
