Entry 1
PDA, Public Display of Affection

Public Display of Affection is when people show their affection towards other people, animals and so on. It is also when a person is physically intimate with their partner. Acts of intimacy are Holding hands, hugging, kissing and maybe even more. Countries like U.S.A, Canada, Europe, Australasia and so forth are common to see people showing their affection. It is probably an everyday thing for them. Countries like South Africa, has a law about. It is absolutely against the law for anyone under the age of sixteen to take part in a Public Display of Affection. In Malaysia, it is prohibited to even kiss. However, you can find people in western countries telling couples who are so affectionate to each other to 'get a room'. Let us classify this into the good, the bad and the ugly. The good which is a classic, old fashioned way to show you care. Here is the innocent and clean PDA. Holding hands, hugging (hands above the belt line) , a peck on the check, the hair play and the 'I love you'.  Nobody can go wrong with those harmless acts. They are simple and appropriate. The bad involves the intimate touching, which is the up skirting, bottom touching and the 'I want you'. No sane woman would want that. It is degrading and offensive. No one wants to hear 'I want you' and no one definitely wants to know the urges men have for women. Lastly, the ugly. It is basically a porno show ( anybody can fill in the blanks after that). Bottom line is that too much PDA should not be done in public where people eat and in front of children, it is a bad influence for them. Too much intimacy activities between lovers should be private. The upside of this is everyone should show their affection whether it is towards someone, an animal or something. It shows that we are human and have feelings. 

Definition of love:
Love is between friends and families ( also between pets and their owners). It is when you care about someone and should be shown so the other person knows that you love her or him.

Love story

There was a foster home in Brooklyn, New York. There were four orphan teenagers living with other other. They are Sara, Bay, Adam and Daniel. They were all the same age but not related. They also were close to each other and were being taken care of two married couple, Henry and Hellen. Henry and Hellen  met in college and were together ever since. Hellen has a twin sister named Hailley. Her sister lives five miles way from where they live. She comes and visit almost everyday. Haley was the type to get jealous of her sister because she is also in love with Henry. Hellen never felt uncomfortable when her husband and her sister were talking to each other in room where no one was there. Hailley would constantly flip her hair, smile and find an excuse to touch him. An old move Hellen used to do when she was flirting with other boys in high school. The teenagers were also the same. Sara was with Daniel for a year and Adam was with Bay for a month. Sara never thought of Adam more than a brother until when he just recently coupled with Bay. Sara was the type that always wanted new things. Unfortunately, she shared a room with Bay. When Bay talks about Adam, how he runs his fingers through his hair and his smile that is contagious and can not help but smile back. Sara got tired of Daniel. He was good at calculus,was really a good singer and makes funny jokes. Adam was a jock and way funnier. That beats everything about Daniel. Sara was also the person who knows everything. Like, their foster parents' love triangle. The rest were clueless. One day, Hailley told Henry that his wife was cheating. She  took a video that looked like she was sleeping with someone else, a woman. Henry did not believe her at first, but then he saw the Hellen look at other women. Hellen had a habit to touch people in a different way without realizing it. Once she found out about what her sister did, she punched her sister on face, hard. Hailley fought back. Henry tried to break up the fight but he could not. They both ended up in kitchen  and started tackling each other until the both grabbed a knife. Then Henry got in the way and they both stabbed him. the teenagers rushed into the kitchen and saw that Hellen and Hailley were still holding the knife which was in Henry's chest. The four orphans were shocked. Sara was surprised that they both went that far. Bay tried to grab the phone to call the ambulance. Until Sara caught her wrist and old her not to call the police or anyone. Bay was tired of Sara' bossiness. She jerked her hand back and warned not to touch her. Sara told her again not to call anyone. Bay challenged her by saying " or what?". The boys came in between. Sara got angry and kissed Adam. "Yes! I just don't like him. I love him and I slept with him". Bay wanted to do the same by kissing Daniel, but she was always the mature person. Daniel was furious and said that he wanted to propose to her. Everybody was angry at each other. Killing, Murder, Backstabbing was a person like Bay could not handle. She stormed out and wanted to ran as far as possible. Then, Adam called after her when she was in the middle of the road. She turned around and a big car ran over her. Adam heard how her bones breaking when the car ran over her. Adam ran to the kitchen and saw Hellen and Hailley on the floor. He got closer and saw a knife in each of their chest. Sara and Daniel went after him and saw what he saw. Two hours later, the police arrived. They received a call from the neighbours. After they the interviewed Sara, Adam and Daniel, they took the body away. They all ended up in at police station. Adam told them that he was old enough to go to college and applied  to NYU ( New York University) a year ago and got a full scholarship, but the real reason is that he did not want to be with the other two. Daniel said the same. Sara felt like the world was spinning, losing everyone she cared about. She begged them to stay but they refused. Daniel did not want to stay with a liar and a betrayer and Adam did not want to stay with her because he blames her for everything. A week later, Adam went to his college and settled in. A month later, he felt guilty on how he treated her after everything. He could not sleep. He constantly thought about Daniel and Sara. He called Daniel, who was in Manhattan working in a big company selling sandwiches and coffee. As they were talking and apologizing to each other. In the conversation, he asked Daniel about Sara. He said that Sara went with him and were both doing the same job. There was a long silence after he explain how everything was between them. Sara was sent away into a mental institution because she could not handle after everything that has happened. And three days later, she started hitting herself and found a pen and poked herself until she bled to death. Adam was overwhelmed by this. Daniel was the only family he had. After that, Adam told him that he applied them both to Monroe Community College. Daniel was happy that Adam actually cared about him. Six months later, Daniel was off to college and they both rented an apartment to live together. After that, they both were happy that they had each other.

The end.



Entry 4

In this century, especially now, everything is invented for us. Whether it is a necessity invention or something else, we have it. So people just sit around and do not think about what else to invent. If I were to think and create an invention, i would create remote control. I would invent a remote control to lower people's voice or just mute it. I talk a lot but I personally do not like people who backbite or gossip. If I were to know something nasty about someone or a scandal, I would keep to myself. Sometimes people just talk a lot, especially girls, they just get carried away. I am not comfortable about it because I do not like to look at other people differently. You might I am acting like a child would act but I say it is the right thing to do and I do not like to get into drama. And with drama comes feelings and I would have to express by saying "I feel....". I do have feelings but do not like talking about it and I certainly do not mind when someone talks to me about theirs because I care ( I am not a robot). This remote is to control people's voice box. It will look like a an ordinary TV remote, so that you can secretly lower the person's voice. This not only for people who gossip. It is also for people who cannot stop talking when you are watching a movie. I think a lot of people can relate to this.
Or you can have an ordinary TV remote and can add a button to it to control people's voice box. That is even sneakier than the one I mentioned before. That would be so funny, while they are talking you just lower it until their voice becomes mute and the mute person would be so angry and you still would not hear it.

Entry 5

The video I watched has inspired me in so many ways. And I have watched it many times before and I am still moved. The video was about a guy named Nick Vujicic who has no limbs. No limbs to help him walk or to carry things with his hands. He is such a strong person who never gives up. If he falls he gets up with the help of his head. How amazing is that. If I were in his place I would just lie there because I would just lose hope and faith but Nick did not. He thought that he would never go to college and get married but he has achieved all that. What I learned is that we should not give up easily and that we should do our best in everything.

I use to be the type of person who was a perfectionist, I think I still am. I used to love everything to be perfect or I would just crack. I used to get straight As, pass up homework on time or earlier and teachers loved me. Then came my mid-term exams. I got low marks but I did not fail. As soon as I got that I just fell (not literally, figuratively). I was not the type to except that kind of thing. I thought that I would never go to college. So I dropped out of school and I just cried and cried. My mother and father helped me a lot telling it was just an exam and that it does not define me. So year after that I got on my feet and repeated the year I did not.

I cannot compare myself to Nick Vujicic because, when you look my problem it is nothing compared to his. After watching his video I promised to be more happy, optimistic and to do my best no matter how the outcome is.

Entry 6

Mind your Language is about a diverse group of ten foreign adult students in London, who are from nine different countries. My favorite character is Chung Su-Lee. She is a secretary of the Chinese Embassy. She is very diplomatic and political. She is always seen carrying her little red book called Mao. She always quotes from it. She thinks Chairman Mao wrote everything. The reason I like her is because she is very intellectual and very competitive. Even though, she needs help with her English, everyone can see that she is ambitious and will not let anything or anyone get in her way. Also is funny when she speaks in English. She always gets mixed up with the letters L and R. I think she can be successful if she learns English very well.

Entry 7 
Superpower
If could have a super power, it would be the power of manipulation. As a kid my mom used to say that I would manipulate my siblings into doing what I want, but now I do not think I do it anymore. There are others that disagree. They say I do it all the time even if I do not know it. Here I want to control people's actions and words. That way they can do whatever I want. I could have my own squad or my puppets. If I had this power right now and I am aware of it, it would change my life a lot. Having my puppets doing whatever I want whenever I want is big change. I can make them believe anything. whether it is for me or for others. It is a huge advantage for me. Most definitely.
