Because of Justin

Game 4: St. Eds VS Lady of Fatima (Home) 41-43

A very close game, but we lost another. Even though I got 2 baskets, the ending was the worst part of the game. It started when Justin went running for the shot. Instead of doing a layup, he took a shot that is close to half court and misses. The time buzzed after our opposing team got the rebound. It was a close game, and I'm happy about that.

Ancient City Fright?

Yesterday's night was... a great night. I was a little worried of the people asking questions, but then, my answers quickly get into my entertainment, such as telling facts in Luxor in a stylish voice. My favorite question is when Kevin (Gr. 8) asks me about the compass. It was weird because people usually ask about the history. By the way, I answered that the compass is used for where is the north pole, where is the west bank or east bank, and where did this temple come from (i.e. This temple is from the Southeast of Luxor).

2 losing games

NOTE: Sorry I forgot yesterday's game.

Game 2:
St. Edmunds VS St. Anthony's (Home) 10 - 43

Another loss. Let's say it was a practice with expert players. Also there was some "epic fail" in there...

Game 3: St. Edmunds VS St. Anthony's (Gr. 6 and Away) 41-43

A close game! Loss because at the last second, someone got a basket to break the tie, and to prevent from getting OT. Also got one basket.

Basketball Season Just Had Started!

The season of basket ball had just started. For every game, I'll post the score and have my personal comments there.

Game 1 @ St. Eds VS St. Anthony 28:38 (I think)

It's the first game of the season and I feel great on the floor. I think I did pretty decent on the first game after the break. The opposing team was sometimes aggressive, and I think that I need to work on a little bit of defense and some shooting.

THE Super Size Me

There are many people in America who were overweight and some who are obese. In this video, "Super Size Me," I've found 5 surprising reasons why these people are getting fat very quickly.

The population of overweight people is what I've found surprising. Starting in 1980's, the population of THE people doubled from children, and tripled from adults. It's like about 500,000-600,000 right now in 2010! In fact, USA is first on the fattest population in the world.

Cancer, deceases, and symptoms came to me as another reason of why people get fat. Fat people or people who quickly gain weight can have lots of health problems. Problems such as heart deceases, stroke, breast and colon cancer, and many more. I couldn't believe how many deceases people have to survive while being fat. Even how people could even hit 500 pounds of weight without any scratches!

Seeing people doing the wrong choices can give me proof of this next reason. If people use to eat fast food frequently, we take the wrong choice, and gain more weight. To do the right way of being healthy, we can barely go there like once every 2-3 weeks, or change to a more healthy restaurant. For me, my family and I mostly eat food from home and we sometimes go to restaurants once or twice every 2 months.

Telling if smoking or obese people are the most way to die when you are very addicted. Later in the years, if more people went obese more than smoke, then obesity is the most popular way to die.

Are we all in this? That is the final point which made me very shocked. Out of a lot of companies, including Coca Cloa, Pepsi, Hershey's, Kraft, and other companies said, "We're part of the problem." That made me extremely shocked that we are the problem. Even healthy ones?

So. For everyone in the world who is reading this, if there is a point in your whole life that you want to change your life, do you want to change and be healthy, or stay in the fat colony. That is my saying to everyone.
