Early this morning, I woke up from bed feeling miserable. So I decided to give my cousin a phone call. I asked him if I could borrow his boat, and he said yes. I went to his house to get the boat then I brought it down to the dock. As soon as I looked out the horizon, I had a vision of the ocean was pulling me deeper into the horizon giving me

Describe A Place That Has A Special Meaning To You

The Rock Islands of Palau is a place that has a special meaning to me. It is so beatiful that a lot of people enjoy it so much. The beach is so white. It attracts a lot of tourists. Its so silent there, I mean the only sound you can hear is nature, likebirds chirpping and squaking, also the breaking sound of the waves on shore or on the reef. The view is tremendously beautiful. If you look out the horizon you could see the sparkling of the ocean. There are different colors if you look towardsthe horizon. I cant refuse to go back to the Rock Islands.

The Rock Islands bring back good memories. Sometimes, I wish there was a time-machine so I could go back and enjoy those good times. Every Sunday my family and I would go to the Rock Islands and have our picnic there. The men will go out fishing for lunch and the women will stay and look after the children and have all the fun. After, the men come back from fishing we helped the women prepare the food and feed the children. After thats all done, there is an event we enjoy so much. Everybody has to play including the children. It really makes me so happy because all family members take part in the event. That the happiness everybody wants. By the way, the Rock Islands is the first place I met my first love. It was so romantic that late afternoon. Well, I was sixteen back then. I took this lady for a walk on the beach. She was walking with a wine cooler, and I was holding a can of beer. It was so beautil because the sunsetwas out at the right moment. The colors of the sky were so beautiful that I cant forget that. I wish I could go back and enjoy those moments. If there was a place like the Rock Islands here in Saipan, I would enjoy the happiness all over again.

What did I Discover on Columbus Day

2005-10-12T18:00:00.000-07:00

On Columbus Day, I didn’t have any intention of discovering anything. However, I realized that I had a conversation with my mother about Christopher Columbus. We were discussing how Christopher Columbus discovered America. She told me how Columbus made the egg stand on the table and I told her I knew about that. Then I asked her did she know why he used the egg for an example? She responded, “I don’t know.” So I explained it to her. The reason why he used the egg is because he was trying to convince the crew not to give up on the journey. During the journey, the crewmembers were all frightened because they thought the world was flat. So Columbus took the egg and hit it on the table and it stood up. This explained to the crew that the world could be round. Afterwards they all started believing in Christopher Columbus. In the end, you could say I did discover something on Columbus Day. I discovered a conversation with my mother.

My Favorite Activity is Fishing

My favorite activity is fishing. I love it so much, for several reasons. First of all, I love fishing because I grew up with a family that can all fish. Fishing is so important to us because it brings food and money to the house. Secondly, fishing can relieve all the stress and the problems I have at home. If I come back from a fishing trip with a big catch, everybody at home would be very happy, and that’s the happiness I love to see among my families. It encourages me more to keep me going fishing. Last but not least, fishing is a venture, and a dangerous type of sport. I love taking risks.
