Can We Build It?!?!

WELCOME!

So, my buddy Kris and I have a project we have to do in World History. As many of you are aware that our project was suppose to be on the Ten Commandments. Well yeah.. since Mr. Schwartz is going through some tough times now-a-days, we really haven't had the time to work on it since he has been absent. So this is what Mrs. Minch said, she will just grade our first nine weeks project for 2nd nine weeks when Mr. Schwartz is back. Pretty cool I guess, the bad part is, Kris and I have to now do another project for first nine weeks. As Kris and I were looking through, something caught both of our eyes. Why not to Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome!

So with the help of Judy, Jeff, Myron Schwartz and Mr. Shuck, we found boxes, platforms and got all the materials we need.








Now the question is, Can We Build It?

The Project isn't due for another 2 months for us since it is going to be a huge one! I mean the kid that did a project from last year said, it took him about a month and 3 weeks just to make a replica of the parthenon! So who knows??


Worse thing about this project is that I am now going to stay up even a bit later doing it! But, no worry, Kris and I negotiated that he will come every day for at least 3 hours so we can work on it together (since it is his project too) and then on Saturday's he will come over for about 6 hours, and who knows we might get this done before Christmas! (don't worry we'll post pics!)

Have A Great Day!,

Yeah.. I Think It Is Here.. Anyone Agrees?

WELCOME!

Well, It is official. It is officially Autumn and the weather is nice! (somewhat). Here right now it is in the 50's, our backyard is full of leaves to rake! Homecoming week is this week (yeah not a very fond fan of it!) and what else can I say, Fall is here! One of the things I do not like about this season that it tends to get cold and chilly in the morning! Specially when we have band practice! Also, not to forget the backyard is full of leaves. Weeks after weeks, it piles up more and more. It piles up so much that I don't even feel like going outside anymore to rake it! IT is ridiculous!

One of the positive things about fall, is that winter is almost here- yipee! (sense the sarcasm!) No really one of the fun things about Autumn is that Football games are wrapping up the season, and Halloween is almost coming, and Fall Break is almost here! Did I mention we only have about 147 more days to go til Summer Vacation! Oh, I can already sense the smell of the beach!

Have A Graet Day!

.... Just A Thought....

WELCOME

So, I have been asked by a couple of people what kind of a Catholic I was. If I was one of those modern ones, or one of the old ones who follows the pre- Vatican II rules. Which is today called Liberal or Conservative. Anyways, I consider myself a very conservative. I follow exactly well try to what the Bible and Church traditions are. I mean liberal and conservatives doesn't just appy to the Roman/ Eastern Churches but also the Protestant Church.




I prefer to attend Mass, at a church that has the old pre- Vatican II architecture, the ambo, the pulpit, the high altar, {the biretta, the zuchetto, the maniple} priest attire, etc..

So if you are a Catholic, out of curiosity, what type of church (by architecture) would you rather go to. Your choice. Your pick. Your decision.

As I said... Just a thought. (by the way, I won't be posting all Catholic stuff on here, i will still post exciting things that happen on a daily basis :)


Have A Great Day!

Caution: Busy Weekend Ahead!

WELCOME!

Wow- I can't hardly believe it, but Holy Trinity Catholic Church is turning 150 years old next week! The Mass begins at 10:30 - yes I am serving, and it will be a day full of festivities and fun activities! Don't worry I will post pics after church on Sunday.

So you may be wondering what is going to happen this week well here it is:

Friday- Home Football Game, South Adams vs. Leo (which is a pretty good team!) But, I am confident that after we beat them we will be 5-0! I can't wait, it is going to be one, epic, intense game! I mean the crowds will be chearing like crazy! Oh yeah!!

Saturday- Purdue Band Day! Bus leaves at 5am, and I tell you, waking up at that time of the day would not be a problem for me since I am a morning person. I told Anie that I was going to bring 2 boxes of donuts, and coffee for the ride their. She was pretty excited! I remember going last year, had a blast with Enos, Rain, Lauren, Anie, Shelby, Bree, Shauna and all the other people! It was such a blast!

Sunday- 150th Anniversary of Holy Trinity, pretty excited that I get to serve. Reception afterwards should be exciting and delicious.

I can't hardly wait! It will be an exciting week full of fun! Did I mention that I got a A- on my Algebra II test?? Pretty Excited!

Have A Great Day!

Remembering 9/11

Never forget and forgive what happened 10 years ago today. Wherever you are, church, at home, etc... Do not forget to stop and take the time to pray for the souls that have departed this earthly life.

It's Coming! Are You Excited??

For all the Catholics that read my blog: It is coming before we know it!





Yes my fellow Catholics, there are 79 Days remaining until it is here!






If you want to get a head start, and just desperate about the new translation, then the best site that you can find it is on the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops website! That is where I printed my copy. If you print it, its approximately 52 pages long, from Introduction to Ending.

Happy Learning!

Happy Birthday To You! Happy Birthday To You!

Happy Birthday Blessed Mother! We All Love and Honor You! Ave Maria! Gratia Plena!

To Fix or Not To Fix?

WELCOME!

So yesterday there was a guy that can in and fixed our television. As many of you are aware our televesion is hanging above our fireplace. So it took about 10 minutes getting it down. Anyways, so what exactly is wrong with our television?- We don't exactly know because we barely use it. I mean we are so busy with our daily lives, homework, school, work, etc.. That we don't even sometimes take the time to sit down as a family and watch even a movie! (yeah.. were not sports fanatic folks)

So the guy from Fort Wayne, came and looked at our television. Founds out that this is how the back looks like when he opened it!





(looks like a little village)


Now, what is the problem? He said that something was wrong with like the screen and since it was a major problem he couldn't fix it all in one day. He had to order the parts etc... So we asked Samsung about how much a new screen would cost, they said they had bad news. The first bad news was that it would take approximately $500.00- $1000.00 to fix it! Good grief I said! Second bad news was that it was discontinued because it is already 2 years old and they don't make parts that huge anymore! I tell you, life is harsh! So, to fix or not to fix?


Have A Great Day!

Happy Birthday Dad!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD! WE LOVE YOU! THANKS FOR EVERYTHING! YOU ARE NOW ONE YEAR CLOSER TO RETIREMENT!

Ber Month's!

WELCOME!

As you are all aware, today is 2nd of September. Already! I mean raelly! Christmas is less than 4 months away or something like that! Anyways.. This is a 3- Day Weekend! I am happy about it, because I actually get to do stuff around the house that I haven't done since school started. LIke clean my room, change sheets, etc. Anywho, so I am kinda excited that Christmas is almost here already! Which means that this school year is half way finish!

Something to reflect on this past few months. I got to vacation in the Philippines with my cousins and grandparents and I thank God for that! Also, I got to pass the Algebra ECA with flying colors I thank God for that too. Since we are already at the last 3rd of the year, I told myself that I will make this the best last 4 months of 2011! I mean really, to think about it, 2012 is just right around the corner! It will be here before we all know it!



Have A Good Day!
