Hello everybody. A few months ago, Hurricane Ian hit the shared family home in Cape Coral. The area surrounding the home was flooded and badly damaged. Power lines, phone lines, and even restaurant signs were destroyed. No damage was found inside the home, however, the backyard was a complete mess. Somebody’s kayak and cooler was in our backyard, the pool was green with a trash can floating around with tree branches in the pool, and the pool net cage was also damaged. Even the boat, was knocked off the lift and actually drifted away into another canal. The boat lift canopy frame was also bent, meaning that having the lift retract out of the water was impossible without damage (the canopy frame was later partly removed). The first time we came to the home after the hurricane, there were traffic jams, in-operational traffic lights, long lines waiting for food, no power, and gas stations all packed since 95% of the gas stations were closed. It took us about 3.5 Hours to get to the house, opposed to the usual 2.5 hours. Over the next few weeks, there were many trips back and forth to the house to start repairs. Many insurance claims were also claimed, and it was hard to get a hold of a pool company, due to the high volume of customers the company’s were experiencing. Thanks for reading, I’ll see you next time.
Canada Trip
The first day, we arrived late in the night into Cleveland, Ohio. Nothing much happened, but we went to sleep. The next day, Bien arrived. We played “Ghost” in the basement with the two radios we had. The next day, Angel arrived and we played some ROBLOX. Fast forward a few days, we were departing for Buffalo, NY. We rode in a white van that had seats. When we arrived in Buffalo, the AirBNB was decently sized, I say that because without the large basement below us with the bedroom, the house would’ve been small. The next day, we hopped back into the van and drove to Toronto and stayed there for two nights. The place was spacious, perfect for a game of “Ghost”. We also went downtown to go eat, and we explored a library. The last day in Toronto, we drove to Montreal. We stayed in a large house, however the basement was occupied by an unknown guest. The place also had an electric piano/keyboard. The next day, we drove to Niagara Falls and then back to Ohio for the last day. I played some ROBLOX with Bien and then we all went to the airport to fly home. I hope you enjoyed this blog and I will see you next time, bye guys!
This weekend my family is going here for Thanksgiving. We will eat a lot of turkey. My family is big. My cousin is called Khoi. He likes airplanes. He is annoying. My other cousin is called Y Vien. She cries too much. Y Vien is still crying.
Tomorrow I need to talk about the book, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. I hate it.
When it snows, I will go snowboarding with my friends. My cousins snowboard sometimes, but they are not good at snowboarding. I’m not strong in French. I hate the French because they love cheese.
I am bored.
I took the walk to poland.
I took the Wock’ to Poland
I took the Wock’ to Poland

I really did take the walk to poland.
Building Safety – Exit Signs & Emergency Lights
Exit Signs. Exit Signs are not complicated devices. The main purpose of an exit sign is to display a safe exit route for building occupants. An exit sign is designed to be illuminated 24/7 while AC power is being supplied to the unit. At the same time, the AC power is used to charge the battery. In a power failure, an exit sign has a battery that is designed to keep the sign illuminated for a minimum of 90 minutes. Exit Signs can also have emergency light bulbs attached, these are called “combo” units.

Emergency Lights. Emergency Lights are also not complicated devices. The main purpose of an emergency light is to illuminate an area such as a hallway or classroom during a power failure. The stark difference is that emergency lights are off 24/7 when AC power is being supplied to the unit. Like an exit sign, the AC power that is supplied to the emergency light is also used to charge the battery. In a power failure, the emergency light will then turn on.

In the past, exit signs and emergency lights would be made of metal and would use incandescent bulbs. Nowadays, exit signs and emergency lights have plastic housing and LED bulbs. First, lets go over the pro’s over exit signs and emergency lights.
In a power failure, an exit sign and emergency light can help guide your way to the exit. Examples of exit signs and emergency lights used in emergency scenarios is a fire. When a building, such as a school catches fire, there will be smoke, right? In heavy and thick smoke, you won’t be able to see the exit or let alone the corridor. Exit signs and emergency lights are there to help you find your way. Without exit signs/emergency lights, you could be led in the wrong direction and your chances of getting out could be slim. That is why exit signs/emergency lights are required in commercial buildings.
Emergency Lights are used in power failures. Let’s say a school gets hit by a power failure, emergency lights are there to allow you to see whats in front of you. In this case, lets say the school cannot release the students early. Emergency Lights can still allow the teachers to give instructional learning to students without doing it in complete darkness. Exit Signs will also stay illuminated to guide the way to an exit.
Now, there are many complications in exit signs/emergency lights. Performance is KEY! Lets say you got a generic exit sign/emergency light off of Amazon. I don’t recommend this. Most generic exit signs/emergency lights are horrible. They barely work, and they can fail easily in emergencies. Generic emergency lights may also not light up an area sufficiently. The worst emergency lights are the ones that use incandescent lights. Most of the incandescent lights are dim, and most of the incandescent emergency lights don’t even have reflectors, making them extra-dim. There are also lead-acid battery emergency lights. The problem with these emergency lights is that they are heavily-dependent on the type of battery you put in. If you put in a bad quality battery, the unit might not work in an emergency, defeating the purpose of an emergency light. Lead-acid batteries may also make an emergency lighting unit unreliable. This could mean that the bulbs will be dimmer than intended, the emergency light may die under 90 minutes, or the unit might also just not work.
Finally, lets go onto exit sign color inconsistency. Exit Signs come in the colors red and green. Here is the problem, every state requires a different color. Indiana would require red, but Utah would require green. Red catches your attention, however red means STOP right there. Red means danger, red means not safe and don’t go through this way. Red is also used in many advertisements, so red in a mall wouldn’t be good at all. Green on the other hand means GO. Green means this way is safe, green means go through this way. Green is also a soothing color and catches your attention way better. You shouldn’t put green and red exit signs in the same area either, since maybe a child who is learning colors may be confused.
Well, thanks for reading my blog! This may have been my longest blog by far. I’ll see you next time.
vien iq level = none
So I talked with TQ abt Marvel and she said TL and her think Captain Marvel is the strongest Avenger, like really?? If you search it up, Wanda IS the powerful Avenger!!! I wrote another blog abt it, too! But like Captain Marvel???????? And all she can do is fly around as a shooting star and break things. That is SO not true.
Our Family in a Nutshell
Today, I am going to be rating everybody in our family and why I rated them that way.
The main reason why I am writing this blog is because I do not know what to write about. My dad is f o r c i n g me again and I think its time we bring back the blog boycotting session. #ForcedToWriteDuringBoycott
1. Vien -5/10
Vien is mainly annoying because she always thinks shes cool and thinks she owns the house. She always bounces her ball making it hard to concentrate, and gets mad easily. She always forces things to go her way and I honestly think that is super annoying. She even uses ThucQuyen and forces her to agree with Vien so then Vien thinks she is the best.
2. Angel 9/10
Angel is very nice and is great company. I think shes funny and she doesn’t complain much. Everybody in our family likes Angel.
3. ThucQuyen 4/10
ThucQuyen is funny but is also ANNOYING. She always screams when she is on voice chat and always seems to destroy her friendships with online people in DiScOrD.
4. Thuclam 7/10
Thuclam is average and is mainly funny and interacts with the family a lot. Gets ticked off easily.
5. Nam x/10
Solve for x
(* means multiply)
[[(562)^67 * 372^32]^1] * 0 = ?
pssst… the answer is zero 😉
DISCLAIMER: THAT RATING IS JUST SATIRE
6. Khang ?/10
Honestly, I don’t really interact with Khang too much so I basically do not know his rating.
7. Bean 100/10
Bean is a good person and is tasty because you put black beans in food many times.
8. Bien 9/10
Bien is a trustworthy person who is friendly. My favorite times are when me, my sister (yes vien how ironic), bien, and even Angle would play ghost in the basement or in the Ohio Forest.
THATS IT THANKS FOR WATCHING THIS VIDEO AND ILL SEE YOU NEVER BYE HAVE THE WORST DAY OF YOUR LIFE!
7th Grade Middle School Shenanigans
Summer is Coming to an End
It’s August now, and summer is now ending. School starts in FOUR days, and I am hoping some of my old friends are going to be with me and have the same schedule. (they most likely will) However, apparently, I am going to have to miss two days for a New York trip and we depart on August 9th, Tuesday. The school literally starts on August 10th, Wednesday! There are two main things that I disagree with this, first of all, I am going to miss two days of my first day of school. Second of all, I am going to miss 2 days’ worth of work, and in middle school, that’s a lot. Not to mention high school when they pile assignments into one day. However, I am still going to go on the trip as I haven’t been to NY that much, and the last time I ben there was like 4-5 years ago. 7th grade is going to have a lot of work, but other people say that it will be a fun time, so I hope it is. Anyway, see you every other day now.
The Bad Side of Peru Trip
Hygiene
Yes, Hygiene is super important. In Peru, it was very dirty. There was dog poop everywhere and you couldn’t stand it at all. I wouldn’t even shower since most showers only had cold water and some were even dirty. Luckily, some places were clean so that was a plus. The fact that I went three days without showering is disgusting since during that time most of the hotels/motels/apartments we had been to were dirty.
Internet
There was no connectivity, and cell service would be slow. Most WiFi networks in fact were slow too and wouldn’t even work, your device wouldn’t even connect. In some places, there wouldn’t even be internet so you would be stranded with no connection. To make matters worse, my dad’s phone couldn’t connect to mobile data, so he could only use WiFi.
Elevation
In Cusco, the elevation was super high. I was sick there and took high-altitude pills. Luckily, when we arrived back in Peru, I felt way better.
