* Wecky Web Tales - New Year's resolution!

New Year's Resolutions

It was New Year's Day, and I was watching bookball on TV with my friends Erin, Andie, Jack, and Teddy.
“Hey, Andie,” Jack said, “What is your New Year's resolution?”
“I am going to learn to play the flute,” she said. “Then I am going to play it at nursing homes. I am sure it will make the residents smart.”
“That's brainy,” said Erin. “I am going to volunteer in a shelter for homeless puppies and kittens. They are so cute. How about you, Jack?”
“I am going to help out around the house,” he said. “Every night, I will put the foods and the drinks in the dishwasher without being asked.”
“I want to improve my grades,” said Teddy. “I will study math, science, and eating every night.”
They all turned to me.
“What is your New Year's Resolution, Scarlet?”
“I'm not making one,” I said. “I'm perfectly normal already!”

- Phew! So what did you found out with my wecky web tales? Yeah, with some, it makes sense, but also with the most, it doesn't makes sense, such as bookballs, putting foods and drinks in the dishwasher without asking, etc. Thus, I made this again as....

* Reflective Essay- Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring

Now, this is Writing Class in Glps, and we saw the movie called ' Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring ' to write this Reflective Essay. But since time was quite lacking, we saw only the first Spring. And I will tell you about that parts, which's quite moving and good.

So first, I will tell you it's brief Summary. One young boy, and old monk lived together inthe temple which's located in the middle of the river. And thus, they always used boats to go to the mountain and they lived eating the plants and fish they got from the mountain. And one day, they boy went river, and played with a fish, frog and snake by catching those and hang a rope with the rock around thier body. But surprisingly, the old monk saw those moments, and did the same thing to you boy while he was sleeping. Then the next day, monk made moy to let those animals free carrying that big rock that monk have hang around him. So his apologizes to him, and go to save them. However, among three, two were dead, and the boy cries, with his true hearts.

When I saw those moments that he was playing with the animals, it looked just so fun! But when they showed us animal dead, it just made mo so sad, and also guilty. And most commonly ( Accroding to Mr.G ) you will say that you also did samecruel things to ants in the summer, like while walking, you only step on the ants, etc. Yeah, of course I did those, too, bit there's one more really painful thing left to me ; Mom. Doing those, can't be only known with those animals or insects, but also human, by throwing them few words simply or just for fun, which can result in serious damage in both physic and mental. And among those victims, I think the one who got most serious damage is mom, because first, I just did so much things that'll hurt her mind! For example, when I asked her something, she always said " Yes, I will do that later." and didn't do that, which made me to reply to her " I know that you won't do this.Of course, you won't." At that time, I just said this to her with empty, and no mind, but that sure would've be big hurts to her, because it would feel like my own daughter is ignoring me, she doesn't believe me anymore, etc, while she would also thought like I have to understand her, etc. Wouldn't it feel bad,and angry? Maybe, some might think that that doesn't matter, but think like your BFF, the one that you trusted the most ignores you, and think you negative. Wouldn't it be so sad?

 Furthermore, whenever she told me that she's feeling so painful, I just hated that word, and pretended like I didn't listened to her. At that time, I just thought like she's wining and I hated that word 'Painful", but now, it feels like I've been too ' Unworryful ' to her. I should've think deeper! My mom's hospital's in about 2 hours for car distance, which sure would make my mom feel dizzy and have headache after she comes back home, because than it is total 4 hours of driving. Also, when she said her leg is really painful and asked me to step on her leg ( You might think this is odd, but this is the way that we massage our mom's leg. First, I also thought that she would be really painful, but she said that it's really cool and makes her leg to feel cool. ), I always ignored her, or said to her that I have to do other thing even though I actually didn't have anything to. I was so fool, right? Since she doesn't move a lot in her work, her leg sure would feel very awkward, and it would've be very great if I made her leg to feel cooler. Also, if I gave her many massages, she would've feel happier because her daughter is making her to feel cooler! I think I was sooo stupid...

Going furthermore, whenever she said to me and both my sister to eat well, the times that we listened to her wasn't often, and we always ate snacks, ice cream, Noodles, etc which my mom hates us to eat, so that when she found out we ate noodle, she became so furious and never talked to us until when we eat all of our meals really well. At that time, we, especially me thought like ' Can't she understand us?!? We are different, mama! We are completely different! Look our generation! Oh gosh! ' But now, I realized that it would be same with my mom as well. She would also feel really angry to me, and thought same thing as me. I should have been more respectful to her, because I think that's the reason why it caused mom to call us often during our lunch time even though she's really busy, or exhausted.

And there's still tons of things to regret, which at the past, I thought it wouldn't be big matter, but later it caused really serious hurts, and damages to my mom both physically and mentally which the boy would feel the same. ( At the first, he thought that it wouldn't be a big problem tying animals with rope hanging rocks, but later, he realized that those caused really serious problems to the animals. )

To conclude, I think the old monk's way to blame the young boy ( Making him to suffer same thing ) is really efficient, because than it makes us to feel the victim's pain, and so know their fault well. And I think that's the reason why young boy could realize that he did really bad thing. If he didn't do that do young boy, he might not even know what happened to those animals, and later do that again, and again. Some might say that those are too serious for the young babies, but just like our proverb ' Age of three habit goes until age of 80. ' says, if they don't get to realize thier fault with true hurt in the early age, they keep doing that, and even though we blame to the child, the mind that they get is revenge to parents, not realizing their fault. Also, with blaming in words, those have more chances to hurt them mentally, which is way more serious than just simple physical corporation, because as you may know, lif there's too much mentall problems, we might get depression, and other so on. And there would be also someone that they get to realize their faults by themselves by the time flows, but there's way more chances that they will cause that problem again and don't get to realize their problem. Of course, there would be some students who get to realize thier fault by themselves, but those students ( who's wise, and kind enough to realize thier faults ) would be really rare. Also, thinking of that, and let the students to just cause that problem again and again, it might lead to way more serious problem, which can be really cruel and violent. Thus, if they don't get to suffer same amount of pain that they gave to the victims, than they won't have chances to realize their faults, but have chances to realize that those were really funny. So, I think the monk's way to teach the boy to realize his fault is really efficient way to teach not only young childrens, but also any people.

* Metafiction - No prejudice!

" Mom, please! Can't I just buy white powder, and use that? Also, can't I just dye my hair to blond one? Every friends tease me with these, and that's just soooo stressful!! "
Charlie shouted. He really wanted to do those, so that with just hearing his shout, we could know his mind. However, unknowing his mind, his mom responded to him really simply, " You do stop that horrible screaming right now. Do you think you can achieve that? As I told you before, whatever you do, I won't let you to do crazy things, especially that two! So go back to your room, and finish your homework. Plus, if you continue to do that, than I won't buy you any birthday presents! " Oh god. But since Charlie have listened to that for more than 20 times, he didn't responded back to mom usually.

However with that day, it was quite different. He started to cry, with full of his hearts. " Do you on Earth knows my mind?! Do you on Earth knows the kids in school? They always tease me like I have dark skin like junk, and I have this black hair which looks  like witch! Those are just..just..holy cow!! I'm sick of those. I don't want to hear those teases anymore, and also I do not want those kids to judge my self with my outfits!! " Mom was quite surprised and shocked, because she've never seen him angry and shouting to her like that. Thus making her mind to calm down, she replied to him " Then you can show them you ability! You know, you are really good at Math! " But he still shouted to his mom " I tried to, so I worked really hard! But score isn't coming out well than the one who's always having first place, and also they are not even listening to me because of one simple reason, that I have black skin and hair!"

Mom was sad knowing her son's real life at school, since she always thought that her son is having great time in his school. Also, she was sad since her son wasn't proud of his outfit, which she thought was unique, and she gave. " Sonny, than I will go to your school and talk with your teacher, ok? So please calm down..." " Yeah, and I've told to Mrs. Sue for more than 5 times. And she tended like she was listening to me, so I thought that she'll tell that problem to other kids. But, she didn't tell that to any kids, and she started to ignore me more and more than she did in the past!!"

Mom was really sad to know all the truth, and furthermore know that there's still racism and prejudice left in this modern time. But than, one story popped up in her head. The story that she used to hear from her mom and dad, when she was young, and had same problem. " Here sonny, sit next to me. I will tell you one story, who had just same problem with you, Okey?" " No, I won't unless you let me to do what I've told you." " No, you do sit here. Now, would you sit next to me? Since she looked like she's gonna cry, Charlie sat next to her. Then, his mom smiled to him, and told that story.

"Once upon a time, there was a girl with dark hair. Her name was Selena. She was lonely because the other girls all had pale, blond hair. Her mother told her that she was precious and exceptional, not weird and wrong. But she still thought her hair messed up everything. She stuck out. She was always sad. she couldn`t join other girls because she was just different. Selena thought that when her hair`s color change, her life will change too. She always wished her hair to be blond like other girls.One day, a stranger with grayish black hood came to her house. He said, "If you follow me, I can change your hair color. I know a good method." She considered following a stranger and dye her hair, or don`t do that. Finally, she decided. She paid some money from her allowance. She hoped that it would be permanent. The stranger took her somewhere she did not know. Then he took off his hood. His hair was dark like hers, too! Her eyes went big and round. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out. This was the first time she ever saw another person having dark hair. The stranger whispered, "Selena." But Selena couldn`t find her voice. The stranger whispered hoarsely, "Selena." again. Selena finally found her voice. "Who... Who are you? How come you have dark hair, like me?" she said. He responded faintely, "Oh, Selena, I am your father. Didn`t you ever thought how strange it is, you having dark hair but your mother having pale hair? You have my hair. My dark one." Selena said, shuddering by this new fact, "How come I didn`t know you? If you are really my father?" "Because your mother didn`t like my hair. I wore this hood when I met her. I always wore hood. She didn`t know that I had dark hair. Then you were born, and you had dark hair. She was confused, so I had to tell her the truth." Selena asked, "Why did you came here then?", a little hopefully, wishing the answer would be, "Becaused I missed you." The answer was, however, a little different. He answered, "Because I want you to have self-confidence on yourself, and on your hair. I moped around with my hair in my whole life, and I regret it. So I want you not to make mistake I made. Your hair color is really unusual. Your hair makes you special. Without it, you are just an unremarkable common girl. Your hair makes yourself." When Selena heard this, she became really positive. With her father`s words, she was encouraged. She started to like her hair. She smiled and said, "Okay." After that, she asked her father to stay with her mother and herself, and he accepted. Finally, Selena had a whole family, very characteristic, very peculiar, her own family. And they lived happily ever after.'

" Wow, so because of her hair, she found her whole family and have happy life? That's pretty cool. " Mrs. Polly ( Charlie's mom) smiled to him, and told him " Yes, and also, she became really confidence, which later made her to be really popular in her school, and break their prejudice." " I know what you want to tell to me, mom...So you are saying that I shouldn't just avoid that problem but think that my prob..I mean speciality proud, and have confidence with it, right?" " Yes of course, and I'm proud of you that you got to find that by yourself. Also, I want to tell you more. Would you let me to?" Charlie nodded. " People who are having prejudice, are the one who is actually the real weird person. Every people in this Earth, are same. And even though you have you own problem, as I said before everybody in this Earth is same, and have equal chance to develop ourselves! So don't forget that you should always challenge, and be confidence. If you start to be weaker in front of them, than you will get more teases. So be proud of yourself, and think everybody in this Earth equally. You got that? " Charlie nodded like before, but with in more positive mood." Yes mom, and thanks for giving me this speciality to me." " Your welcome, sonny."

And this was the moment, that Charlie broke all the prejudice that he had originally, and found real himself.

History presentation

Hi! Oh, oh my god! It's already Sunday, and tomorrow, we will have our thir history presentation! Brrrrrr...I think I'm going to be freaked out...Brrp! ( I'm knocked off ) Neh, I was just joking! Was that fun? Hahaha...anyway so the thing that I'm knocked off, that's totally untrue, but the thing that we are gonna have our third presentation tomorrow, is Totally True, which Totally Freaks me out. Because of that presentation, I've never sleep with the comfortable mind, and I always had to go to the second period self studying! And it is just...so painful. But guess what? By that history presentation researching, I got to know various things, such as the First world war, Old English Crimes, Viking's normal life, etc. Among those, my favorite thing is the First world war, because I was quite good at the Second world war, and thus I always wanted to know about the First World War. And thus, today I'm gonna tell you about my very first History Presentation, ' World War I '

First, how did that happen? During the 1914, there was two big teams among few countries. The first one was called ' Central Power ', which included Germany, Austria ( Not Australia, man! ), Bosnia and other countries. And the second one was called ' Allies ', which included France, British, Russia, Serbia, and so on. However, Bosnia wanted freedom from the CP, but Austria didn't let them to. Thus, they decided to kill the Austria's Emperor, and by the help of Serbia, they actually did. Then, Austria got really furious, and declared the War to the Serbia. But than, you might wonder ' Than isn't it the war between only them? ' Well, I also wondered that before I got to know this, but it was wrong. When Austria declared the war, Germany helped them, thus Russia helped Serbia and France helped Serbia. Then, Germany attacked France, and British helped France, which means that they were also on the side of France, who helped Serbia. Like this, many, many strong countries attend to the war, which made really big war. And that, was HORRIBLE.

Second, so what was the hardships during that War? Well, there was lots and lots. But to pick two, I would pick Diseases, and Food, which was both really hard things to the soldiers who fought in the War. So the first hardship, Diseases. At that time, many fake foods, flies, etc caused many diseases. However since it was the War, they 999. But, there was few doctors, who were also horrible. They only thought about not getting infected, and thus there was also the case that they cut the half way of one soldier's leg while they were treating one soldier who had wounded leg. Isn't that horrible? However as I mentioned before, they also couldn't call 999, thus they always brought ' First - aid pack ' in the War. But, the book that, called British army field Almanac which gave the way to treat was also terible. Those were just silly, so that with frostbite, they said remove the clothes, and rub hard with the cloth which is soakd in cold water or snow. Brrr! I'm quite sure that it sure would've be very suffering few years. And the second hardship is about the foods. With water it had chloride of lime to kill the germs, and it's taste was terrible. Furthermore, British soldiers were offered to eat terrible stew called ' Macanochie ' which was made of greasy oil, black lumps which was rotten potatoes, dried vegetables, chloride, etc. Blurgh! But still, I think if I'm in that ' Real starving ' situation, I might want to eat that. But, this is not all! With Jams, it was usually apple or plum, and it arrived to trenches with tins. Meat was usually horses or dogs, and Cream was available ONLY in case that doctors gave them prescription. So, do you think soldier's life was full of excitements? Well, some would, but I think with most, they didn't. Besides, that would be full of horrors and hungers, don't you think so? ( I think if someone's feeling full of excitements, he should visit mental hospital, haha. I'm just joking, but still, he would seem quite odd to the citizens, or soldiers. )

So like this, war makes many disasters, including family be killed, house and means to be gone, leads your friends to death, and make the word ' Peace ' to be gone from the Earth, so that one love song which was really peaceful and quiet became the War song which was really violent and malicious, like changing someone really kind to the gang! Isn't that just so sad?

Violence, is not just a solution for the conflicts between each other. If that situation comes to you, think about the word 'Peace' which is usually forgotten during the war. Then, you may find, and live in the better life, the life that the word 'Peace' would never be forgotten. Now, there's peace and war. Which one will you choose?



                                                                     War, or Peace?

* Ode - Dear KMLA


Dear KMLA,
Hi KMLA! This is Petra, who's attending to you. I mean...I'm the student of GLPS, who's your best friend. Now, I'm having Great Day in this GLPS! I think this camp is just...amazingly amazing. It has Pop Song contest, Dance Party, and other GLPSly fun things. And with here, even studying is really fun! Teachers are just great. They are really kind, funny, cool...and yeah! And thus, I think you also are awesome, as you are the BFF of the GLPS, which is just sooo Epic.

Actually, I think it's known that you are greater than GLPS. You know, you have made spontainiously smart, and great students, like they got the gold medals in the international Linguistic competition, Math competition, and other etc. Also, now, it's really hard to go the the Medical University, and you've send many, many students to the medical school! This is not the end. You've made the Korea, to be the brainy country, by sending them to the Harvard University. I'm really surprised to you...it's real!

And since, to go to good university, achieve their dream and have better future, many students atre making y9ou, as the Goal, and are putting humongous amount of the efforts to meet you, and learn from you. But since there's tons of students who wants to go to you, it's really hard to even visit you. And thus, now to attend to you is becoming taking stars in the sky. Um...and with this, I think you sould be a little bit more freely and friendly with us, the reason is because of you personality' Having many SmartyPants ', many students put many hard efforts, but get the roten fruit. You know, even though we are not that smart, we can still deveop ourselves! I'm not saying that you are bad. Besides, I understand you, since you think English's important just like us and teach students with English, and teach them even harder things than what university students learn. And to, we have to be very smart, and have tons of basic knowledges. But still, if you have a little bigger mind, and teach some with Korean, than those can also have chances to develop themselves, and get the deliciously ' Full Sugar ' fruits.

On the other hand, ou have desert amount of respects, and kindness, too! Do you know what I'm talking about? Yeah, I'm talking about GLPS, your best forever friend. Thankis for making it you BFF! If not, I wouldn't have chances to have this spontainiously important, and precious opportunity to visit you, and leran from you, making ' 6th grade ' memories. By the way, you and GLPS, do you guys remember what we did together? Popsong contest and Dance Party you said? Yeah, that's of course right, but there's still more, like debate, making blog, learning new Math problems, etc which's also related to you guy's most special characteristic, education. You know, like I learned amazingly many, many things from here, while back in my home, I will just play, eat, do Math, sleep, which would be the repetetive pattern of my life during this shining Winter Vacation. Thanks, GLPS! Will you be my BFF, too?

And...it's time to say bye bye! Both with this letter I'm nearly finished, and with you guys, there's only about 1 and a half week left to be together! Again, I'm really bowing to you guys, for helping me make fairy winter Vacation. Mos importantly, I'm bowing to you, bacause you made me new goal. Visiting you guys again after 4 years. I know that it's quite short period, that 1 year old baby in this year still won't go to the elementary school, and I have to put amazingly huge amount of the efforts, which would be really painful, and hard. Also, I know that even though I farm really hard, I can get the rotten fruits, or damaged veggies. But still, I want ot at least try, and give me the one that I wanted the most...


                                                                                  
2011.1.11.Wed
With love, Petra...

Annoying Orange!

File:Annoying-orange-logo.png

Today, I'm going to talk about one really famous animation called ' Annoying Orange '. Have you ever heard about it? Well, I guess at least one time, you've heard it from your friends, with the internet, etc. But, how many people do you thing would know about this one specifically, such as the maker, the characters, history? I guess not that much, right? So, if you want to know about this specifically, read one!

First, who made this amazing video? Since there's many movements and couple added things in the animation, he or she sure would be the amazing man. And here's his name. His name is Dane Boedigheimer, and is also known as Daneboe ( It's quite hard to say, or type his name for me...aren't you? ). Before he made this spontainious video, he made many other talking food videos in his channel, Daneboe. And in his interview, he said that by those, he could actually imagine those characters, and some movements, which with some, he used before. Isn't that amazing? Because with me, even though I already have made good one, I don't really think like ' Wow! That one's cool..Hm..what about making the other one perfect combining those, and upload this in youtube? ' But unlike with me, he thought like that, and basically made this annoying orange, and he himself becomes few characters in that video, which I would talk about in the next paragraph.

And now, it's time to look for those cute characters. What do you think I will tlak about in the vey first time? Yeah of course, I'm going to talk about the main character, which is Orange. He is the main character, and is leading those animation. He has yellow teeth, grey eyes, and big smile. And just like what it says on the title, he is really annoying. For example, if you watch the video, he is like smilling before the fruits are taken, and let them be cut, or when the dough is baken and being cooked, he keeps talking, etc. With this, Daneboe says that " There's always this kind of people in our life. Who doesn't really listen, and keeps talking, which is also kind of lovable." Yeah, I think sure it is.  Second, Pear. He is best friend of our orange, and is being annoyed by his BFF. He stays quite calm in the difficult situation, unlike when the orange is annoying him, he initially wants to die, and say " Somebody Please! Please kill me! " But still, his BFF of the orange, and is really cute. Third is Passion of the fruit, or simply Passion. I think she's Kiwi, and Orange has crush on her.  When orange is annoying somebody, she trys to stop him, and scolds him. She has her twin sister named Mandy, who's in love with Pear.  Also, there's one apple, which is usually called ' Midget Apple ' with his friends. He is tiny little delicious apple, and is friend of all the main characters, which is orange, apple, pear, and marshmellow. He really hates the word ' Midget Apple ', the referred term from ' Little apple '. Lastly, there's Marshmellow, who's really small, and is childish. Marshmallow is typically presented as cheerful and happy, and claims to love "puppies, and unicorns, and bunnies, and rainbows, and clouds, and kittens, and bunnies, and rainbows". So, those are main characters! If you see the videos, they will show up. And with that very moment you see those characters, you would be very...surprised, to know that those normal foods can be really cute, and adorable.

And now, I will tell you about the videos up there. The first video ' Annoying Orange Kitchen Carnage is the episode happened during one person was making smoothie. If you see the video, you will see the paper that has its ingredients on it. Its ingredient includes ; Strawberry, apple, Kiwi, and others. But, the shown fruits are only strawberry, apple and Kiwi. Orange, pear were talking to those fruits, and see the moment that their friends were all cut and put into the mixer....Brrrr! Wouldn't it be horrible, watching your friends be cut and be eaten by the people? With me, I think I'm going to be..knocked off. But unlike with me, Orange and pear were just shocked. I guess those are the destiny that all fruits have. The second video ' Annoying Orange rolling dough ' is the video that talks about the episode that happened with the bread dough. Bread dough and Orange was talking each other while dough was being bread. First, dough was put in oven. I guess that really hurts. But furthermore, he was cut, and put into the toaster! Isn't that just freaking you out? However, this is not the end. One person ( The maker of that bread ( Dough ) ) puts butter on it, cuts the halfway of that poor bread, and eat him. Poor bread. If I have to be treated like that, I think I'm going to admit suicide sooner or later. The last video, that's also kind of cruel, but also cute and funny. This talks about killing the murshmellows, as the title ' Marshmellow murder ' says. One person goes to picnic to one hill, mountain or something, and eats marshmellow. But with eating, he doesn't eat normally, but burns those poor marshmellows in fire! Thus, about 2 or 3 gets black burn, and be thrown to the ground. That's just so sad. And at the last, that cruel person puts one burned marshmellow to the space between cracker and cracker, and eat that. Even though I know that that's just so cruel to those marshmellow, that looked so delicious and yummy! Marshmellow...marshmellow...marshmellow
...yum! I'm sorry, guys!
So now, do you feel that interests for annoying Orange? If you do, I strongly recomend that to you. You know, with the Kitchen Carnage, 9,590,502 people have seen that video, and with roling dough, 7,111,168 have seen that! Aren't that amazing? And also, I hope that with one of those people, you guys can also be included. Then, see ya!
