A cool convertible or an SUV
Too bad I didn’t know my credit was whacked

F-R-E-E that spells free
credit report.com baby
Saw their ads on my tv
thought about goin’ but was too lazy
Now instead of lookin’ flyin’ roling phat, my legs are stickin’ to the vinyl and my posse’s getting laughed at
F-R-E-E that spells free,
credit report.com baby!
I love this song. This is the only reason why I like this commercial.

My Website!!!
Okay. I had a project to make a webstite about an individual in Guam’s history for Guam’s National History Day competition. I chose Father Felixberto Camacho Flores. The first chamorro Bishop and Archbishop. He was the man who shaped modern Catholisism on Guam. Working on this project was exciting, but tiring. It was fun, but boring at the some time. It was easy and hard at the same time. I wish I did better though. (which is what I’m gonna talk about next…)
What I could do better would be to add more information and more pictures. We would interveiw more people. He is related to the present governor, Governor Felix Camacho. We’re gonna try to gat an interveiw with him. We will try to get the current Archbishop of the Agana Cathedral-Basilica. My partners and I will be more aware of the mistakes that we made and all the glitches that happened when we published the website.
If I were to do another website for another individual in history (may or may not be on Guam) , I would chose the same person. FATHER FELIXBERTO CAMACHO FLORES!!!! He was and still is a very important man. He is now my greatest hero in Guam’s history. He is the bishop and archbishop that is very well known, but sometimes people forget about him. The one person people always remember is San Vitores. He was the man who borught catholicism to Guam. To wrap it up, I would choose Father Flores.
Anti-Bullying Day Seminars
On Wednesday, January 21, 2009. The 6th graders had regular classes. (HB/TT, 1st period, 2nd period, 3rd period, 4th period, and 5th period) After 5th period we went to home base and went to the anti-bullying seminars. Each homebase was scheduled for 3 seminars.
I am in YCW (Youth Crime Watch) , and we had to help out the presenters with anything they needed. I was assigned in RM.45. The presentation there was “Sanctuary.” The presenter’s name was Stephanie. Sanctuary is the place where they help out kids who are abused in their house holds or any reason why they can not stay in their house. I stayed there for all three seminars.
The presentation was a little different for each seminar. If you want my opinion, I thought that the first seminar was the best i’ve seen. She talked about the different types of bullying. The four types of bullying are verbal bullying, relationship bullying, reactive bullying, and physical bullying. After a few explantions about those four types of bullying, they did an activity. A few students had to perform a skit. They each got a piece of paper, and it had one type of bullying. They were to perform the skit that was labeled on the paper.
Archbishop Felixberto Camacho Flores
Extra Credit:
Archbishop Flores was born on January 13, 1921. He lived a long and happy life, execpt for the part when he was beaten badly at St. John’s Seminary. He went to school at the Guam Institute from 1926 to 1938. The Guam Institute was a private school. The Guam institute is now know as the Lujan House. After he graduated high school he went to San Jose Seminary from 1945 to 1949 to study catholicism. Later, he went to St. John’s Seminary and was beaten badly.
His mother was Ana Martinez Camacho Flores. His father was Leon Flores. He had a brother named Ricardo Flores. The current governor, Felix Camcho, is Archbishop Flores’ nephew. His father is Ricardo Flores. He was a very successful man. He was the man who shaped modern catholicism on Guam and also made the island a better place to live on.
He was against two things. He was against abortion and gambling. He was against abortion because god is all about life. Killing the baby would be killing a soul. He was against gambling because it brough destruction to the world. Gambling has caused death, people being poor, and people who depend on gambling for money and theeir life.
Martin Luther King Jr.
Journal Entry #13
My historical figure is Martin Luther King Jr. He was born on January 15, 1929. He died on April 4, 1968. When he died, he was assassinated. He lived to 39 years old. He was an american clergyman activist, and prominent leader in the African-American civil rights movement. Martin Luther King Jr. was a noble man. He was brave enough to stand up against his will and fight for african americans’ freedom. He led the 1955 Montgomery Boy-Cot. In 1963, he led the March in Washington and gave his “I have a dream” speech. His speech was a moment in time that I personally love. It has meaning in everything he said.
I chose Martin Luther King Jr. because he is the reason why African-Americans have freedom. He is an inspiration to us all. He is a very important person to all of us. He is my favorite historical figure. He also won the nobel peace prize. He is my #1 hero.

Journal Entry # 10:
During Christmas break I learned 2 lessons. The first lesson was to be patient. We had to be patient because we had no presents. On Christmas eve and Christmas morning we had no presents under the tree. We also had to be patient when we went to church. We were late because we took a long time to change our clothes. Even though we were late, we still sat ther and prayed to god.
The second lesson I learned was when you are sad, something will make you happy again. I had a boring Christmas. On Christmas day, my brother was sad because we had no presents, but we had a good time. We were really bored,so we watched a movie. We tried to have something to do, so we watched the movie, “Bedtime Stories.” After the movie we decided to go to King’s Restaurant, but instead we went home because my dad said that Santa came, and we came home to a bunch of presents.
How To Shoot A Good Picture
When you on the camera, the shutter will open and zoom in.When you take a good picture, your hands must be very steady. You can also use a tri-pod to make the camera steady. To take a clear picture, you have to hold the shutter button half way to autofocus. If you are outside you should use the fill flash to get rid of any shadows. If you are inside, you don’t need to use the flash. It is good to use natural sunlight in a picture. You should use some features on your camera to take a good picture. Using the feature, macro, you can take very close-up pictures that are clear. The camera feature, red-eye, provents making the human eye red. You must pay very close attention to the photo. You must look at the view finder to make sure nothing distracting behind it.
The contrast of the picture depends on what you want the picture to look like. You can use the digitalzoom to zoom in on a subject you particularly want to take. When you take a good picture you might not want to use backlit if you are taking a picture of a person. You must be careful with the lighting behind and infront of the subject. Too much lighting could be harsh for your picture. You can take more than one picture to make sure that you can get a good picture. You can even take different angles. Some times you can use a exposure to make the picture lighter or darker.
Thank you and goodnight!
Why Was My Survey Useful? Read To Find Out!
Survey Review
I chose my questions on my blog because I really want to know when their birthday is, if they have internet, and if they have internet on their computer. I always wanted to know when people’s birthday was, so I could tell them happy soon birthday at the begining of the month and I can ask them when the date of their birthday is on. I always tell my friends “Happy Birthday” on their birthday. If I know that people have a myspace, then I could add them. I chose the last question because my last question because if they are home, I can chat or send them an email through gmail. The most interesting responce was when one person put that he/she said that he/she had no computer.
The person I think’s survey is awsome is Reuben’s. His questions are so weird. His first one is “What is 2+2?” The options were 22, 24, Dinosaur, fish, and 4. Some people put dinosaur and fish. Some people put 22. Reuben was pissed off because people were goody two shoes, and they chose 4. His second question was “Who is spiderman?” The chices were spider, a man, a man-lady, me and a superhero. Some people put me. I guess they think that they think that they are spiderman. The last question was the most rediculous. It was “What is purple?” The most crazy choice is “a cure for diahrrea.” His questions were so funny and idiotic.

Halloween At UMS
Halloween Dance
On Friday, October 31, 2008, We had a school dance in the gym. Some people didn’t want to go to the dance, so the teams had “Team Activities.” Some students didn’t go to the dance because they had study hall. They had to finish their work. I chose to go to the dance. The dance was awsome. Everyone had fun, Some people were fundraising. The SBA were selling drinks. The 6A Cheetahs were selling shaved ice. Sme sudents were in the gym, but since the gym was blazing hot some kids just sat near the fan. Some kids danced, and other kids formed a circle around the as they danced. Some kids didn’t buy a dance ticket, so they just sat outside and ate shaved ice and just talked. And some people just sat on the side of the gym. (inside and outside) The DJ we had was “Frequency.”
In the gym, the DJ from Frequency made up a game. We had a grade level dance competion. It was great, but I didn’t get a chance to see who won. For a second, I thought that the dance was ending early, but the speakers just blew a fuse. They fixed it and we started rockin’ out once again. I think that the speakers blew because it was loud and awsome. The teams had their team actvities. Everyone had a great time. In class, we didn’t have any work. In homebase, we even did the “Halloween Door Decorating contest.
