school

this place is busy,
teachers getting tired,
students wanting to sleep,
kids wanting to play,
trying to study for tests,
trying their best,
following directions,
talking to friends,
reading a lot of books,
homework when is given to students,
going home after school,
getting house chores done,
then watch or play games,
finally go to bed,
dream with sweet dreams,
wake up and head to school,
and be ready to learn

Not Myself

Sunday morning,
Not myself,
Forgot to bring,
This happy face,
I forgot to pack it in my bag,
I tell my cousin,
To mail it to me,
I need my face,
That happy face I see every day,
A face my friends smile,
A face I need,
So I don't need to say,
I am not Myself today.

And give you a wish,
A wish that will make you smile,

A wish you will never forget,
A wish of,
A Happy Birthday to you,
And ask you this,
"How how old are you now?"

Halloween

I totally like Halloween. I don't know why I like Halloween but it is a time when everyone is all dressed in costumes or make-up from either their favorite character or other things like a cat, dog, etc. Also the older kids like to dress up mostly in scary costumes that little babies or kids will cry, and think that the character is real and is there to get them. So this picture was taken 4 years ago, man this is so long ago that I can't think if I was there hiding from taken pictures, and every Halloween year my mom likes to take pictures of all kids with their cute costumes or awesome make-up. By the way we do a follow up as well. So this is our way of trick-or-treating. The day before Halloween starts we as the elder where we are going to start either in our housing or at the end. So she makes the plans when where and we meet there and start going to house to house but we do this in a group of lines and we all have to be quite because this is what she told every kid that was there. This is what she told us "If we made loud noises and running around something will come where every we are and take us and never come back." I think those are the words she told us. Halloween, how is it like in your part of your village?

If There Were No Birds

No Birds
You say
That would be
Funny to see
No Birds
To enjoy watching
When back from migrating
Awful
No Birds
To hunt
To cook delisious soup
For other people to enjoy the taste
No Birds
You say
Will be an awful site not to see
Birds flying in the sky
Better yet
How enjoying to egg hunt
Getting pictures
How the baby birds will look
But
You say
No Birds
I will be gloomy not seeing
Birds fly in the empty blue sky

Pretending to Know How to Perm Hair!

My mom had did the rest of the job, and I had to do the rest of the perming my sister's hair. It started off it me finishing the rest of the hair, then add the first step spraying some kind of liquid in her hair, then leave them on for like 45 minutes, but I was thinking that, since her hair is all thin I could of checked it in 20 minutes, but I was too sleepy that I forgot. When 45 minutes was done we then rinsed her hair for 3 minutes, then I added the next step liquid on to her hair. Man, seeing this being added to her hair freaked me out at first, but I was pretending that I knew everything. So we waited for that to settle for like 5 minutes, and I told her to rinse that with water when they 5 min. was passed. I was thinking that she had to wash her hair after all the things had been added to her hair, but not know what I was doing, and being all sleepy, I told my sister to wash her hair after she takes these curlers off. Knowing only the steps I can remember for watching my mom do this to many times, but one step I didn't watch because i thought it was all boring or i was distracted by watching a movie. My sister knew what to do but she never opened her mouth to tell me what to do with that After-Perm so I went off telling her to wash her hair. Pretending to know how to perm hair was taken at mid-night or passed mid-night. Seeing her hair now is still good looking.
