Caissa

I know Caissa was a couple of months ago but I am going to write about it. This Caissa tournament was for soccer. I love soccer, it is my favorite sport even though it is not the sport that I am the best at. In this Caissa tournament we sadly got 3rd place out of 4. I think it was a reality check because before this tournament we had never lost a single game we played. In the tourmanet there was a 50% chance we would get 2nd and a 50% chance we would get 3rd. We could have gotten second becasue our skill level and Equador's skill level was the same. The first game we played against them, they totally dominated the game but we luckily score in the last 10 mins of the game. When we played our second game against them, the one for 2nd and 3rd place, we definatly out played them but the literally scored 2 goals in the last 5 mins of the game, lucky for them, not so much for us. So as I said we got 3rd Equador got 2nd, the Dominican got 4th and Trinidad got 1st. For the placeing of the 1st and 4th teams from the moment those two teams started playing it was obvious they were going to get those places.
I had lots of fun. I roomed with Maggie and we stayed with a 12th grade, she was very chill. We did lots of stuff with her we went to a concert(where Maggie talked to the guy) and we went the a lime(a party) and we just hung out with her friends. For the things that we did with the school were; we went to the beach, and we had a little party thing the lalst day we were there. The beach was ok, kind of lame it wasnt that nice of a beach and the party was pretty lame too, lots of people were into the party but our school and another school were not into it because we were so tired. Overall it was pretty fun, but I liked the Caissa volleyball better.

Cake boss

Recently I have found my new favorite show. My new favorite show is called Cake Boss. Cake Boss is a show about this very successful bakery that has been running for 100 years as of 2010. Carol's Bakery was opened in 1910 by a guy named Carlo, in the 1940's it was bought by the Valastro family. Currently the guy who runs Carlo's Bakery, his name in Buddy Valastro the son of the guy who bought the bakery in the forty's. Origionally everybody that worked in the bakery was family or close freinds who they considered family. Now because the bakery is so big that they have so many people, family and randoms, working for them. Because they have gotten so big they are going to move the production of cakes from the current location to a place down the block that used to be an old train station. You can imagine how big that must be and once they are in there every inch is going to be used. Carlo's Bakery is one of the most famous, if not the most famous bakery in the world. They are known for making extravagant, huge, out there, totally awesome cakes. Not only do the cakes look good but the costomers say they taste amazing. The special thing about Carlo's Bakery is the not only do the have small cakes and pasteries and cookie etc. They also have specialty cakes, thats what they are special for. Specialty cakes are when the customers come to the bakery for a consultation with buddy about what they want and the bigger the better, the specialty cakes are the extravagant ones. Th customers range from soon to be weds to Snooki to the Mayor or New Jersey.

When I turn 21 I'm going to go to the store and order a specialty cake for my 21st birthday :)

International Fair

This weekend at our school there was an International Fair. An International fair is where all the students and there family's get together and make food and or make bits an pieces of things from their country. Each country has it's own booth and the booths are set up outside or insidethe school, depending on your school. So once the people get to school on the day of the fair they get their booths ready and try and make it the best looking booth possible, so that more people will want to cone to their booth. The booth that I helped out in is the Canadian booth, seeing as how my family is Canadian.

About two weeks before the international fair there was no Canadian booth. My dad and I really wanted there to be a Canada booth, cause what would the world be without Canada? So we quickly got together the booth; we asked people to bring decorations, make food etc. It was finally the international fair and our booth was together and it looked pretty good! I mean it definatly was not the best most popular booth, but that's ok. I had a very fun day though. I hung out with my friends, we played sone games ate lots of food, threw arepa batter at teachers, it wad fun. What also happened that day was that there were performances all day. I am in the highschool band and we got to play. Every part of the day was fun!

I Am Number Four

Last weekend me and Val saw a movie that just came out called I Am Number Four. The Genre of the movie was action/ romance. Val and I really enjoyed the movie and we hope that theres going to be another one. We also think that if there was not another one that it would be stupid because the ending of the movie very much suggested a sequel. The main actors that were in this movie are Alex Pettyfer and Diana Agron. After the movie the two started dating and Val and I think they make a very cute couple.
Anyways... back to the movie. So the movie is about these Aliens that come to earth because there planet was destroyed by the Mogs, and now there are 9 of the aliens left and the Mogs have a list of them and they are killing the 9 aliens one by one. So the first 3 aliens are killed and now its Alex Pettyfer's characters turn, he goes by John Smith. So John and his warrior, Henri leave there current town and relocate so they loose the Mogs. So they are now in Paradise, Ohio. In Paradise John goes to school where he meets Sarah(Diana Agron). So they fall in love and then Henri tells him that they don'y love the same way, they love forever. Then the mogs come and they try and kill him, but he find number 6 and they defeat the Mogs together. At the end of the movie John and number 6 leave to go find the rest of the aliens on the list.
