Summer - blog 6

    There are a lot of things I enjoy about Summer, although there's one thing I enjoy the most. The heat. Why? It's unbelievably nice, no matter what your doing. And me personally love the season for being able to do stuff Twenty-four Seven, and the warmth of the weather helps me do that. Such as swimming at the beach, 'cause who really wants to swim in the cold? Go, do boating activities... involving tubbing, water skiing and such.  Being able to wear shorts and dresses at the beach, with my friends. And of course the heat helps me with TANNING! Considering how British Columbia's law, has joined with Nova Scotia's, to ban the use of tanning beds to minors, so I am no longer aloud to use UV lights this year. Meaning I will have to be in the heat even more this year, not that I'm complaining.       But the best part o the warmth is how it gets everyone in a good mood, and also gets everybody out in the fresh air.  Either playing, walking, sports or any other activities people do out doors.  'cause really how many adults and children do u see out on a rainy day? Heat is all what summers about. Therefore summer's my favorite season, for these multiple reasons.

Blog #4 - Names

     The root of my name is Ken. Which  actually comes from my great grandfather's name, Kenneth. That's why my name is "Ken-na". It means wise in Old England / Welsh. My last name is spoken as "Hack-e". Although my name is simple. Many have mispronounced it before. Such as the 'e' is silent in Haacke. Does it bug me if a substitute or a person I'm just meeting, sounds it out wrong? No I won't be mad. It's not their fault. Although  when people say my last name as "Hack" it does bug me. But "Key-na" doesn't as much because some of my friends call me that as a nickname. I'd much rather prefer Kenna Haacke pronounced correctly than any other way because I think everyone's real name suits themselves and as for myself. I think my name is unique 'cause it's a name you don't hear very often. So yeah, I do like my name even if it's uncommon.  When I was younger I didn't like it as much. I preferred being called a name which was more popular. But As you figured out I've got to like it not mind by first and last name... It's my middle name I don't like!

Blog Assignment # 5

 Spring breaks a time to relax. No school. No rules, just you and your friends hanging out in the fresh air.Perhaps you go on vacation. But for me I got an extra week. Lucky me?. It's not what you expect. I spent the first week recovering from surgery. Second week was spent doing work given to me from my teachers. A poetry project for English, a family tree in Punjabi and a whole chapter in science.  Only one things worse... Having your friends calling adking you to hangout and your reply has to be " I cant, sorry. I wish i could. "  Being stuck at home doing work while sore really is miserable but it wasn't all bad. The last week I spent my time in Vancouver and shopping and got my nails done :) and I also saw THE HUNGER GAMES!!! in Penticton, at the midnight show. I went with my sister. My spring break was ok and I do have to admit I had fun. I guess it all just shoes how family's the greatest company a person can have. 

Bubble Wrap

It is a wonderful thing when you are given a perfectly wrapped girl. You almost dont even want to touch it and mess up the wrap. finally you decide to check it out removing the tape with out ripping the paper, then inside protecting the girl is bubble wrap. You immediately pull it out not able to resist pooping it one at a time placing the bubble between your finger and thumb just to hear the "pop" added by more pops. Its very addicting. I don’t what it is that makes you want to keep on popping but there are just so many ways. One by one. Twisting it. Put it on a flat surface just to slam down on it. "Pop!". Did you know there is a Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day. It is celebrated on the last Monday of January. There even is a website devoted to bubble wrap. http://www.bubblewrapfan.com/. Can you believe with all this technology, today we dont even have to have bubble wrap to hear it and squeeze. All you have to do is log in and start clicking! :)
