Hôm kia con phải đi học online. Nó hơi khó mà con làm được. Con có bài đễ làm thứ hai. Có năm bài thôi. Cho nên nó dễ lám. Nếu mà con muốn đi nhà bạn con, thì con phải viết blog tiếng việt. Lúc TQ nghe cái đó TQ không có muốn đi nhà bạn nữa.

Hôm qua con phải mặc đồ ớm cho không bị lạnh ở phi trường. Con chơi với Ý Viên rồi mình ăn Chipotle. Rồi Bà Ngoại gọi con đi tắm. Lúc mà con xong con phải đánh răng. Rồi xong coi phim với Ý Viên. Rồi chơi ở dứơi lầu. Ý Viên và Khôi đi ăn. Cậu Ngân chở con và TQ và bà ngoại đi phi trường. Ý Viên và Khôi không có đi được tại vì phi trường xa quá. Mình mua bốn cái donut. Và mua sushi để mà mình không có đói quá.  Lúc mình tới mình phải đi gửi hai va li. Một cái cuả con. Một cái cuả Bà. Lúc mình tới Bà không đi qua security được cho nên Cậu đi với con và TQ. Mình mua đồ ăn chơi cho TQ và con. Lúc mình tới con và TQ đi ngồi rồi Cậu đi nói chuyện. Rồi xong con phải đi lên máy bay. TQ chơi iPad chút xíu rồi ăn chip của em. Mình chơi chút xíu rồi TQ đi ngũ. Con mệt cho nên con cũng đi ngủ. Con dậy thấy mình sắp về tới rồi. Mình đi ra máy bay rồi thấy mẹ ở đó rồi. Mình phải đi xuống lầu để mình đi lấy va li. Mình đi xuống lầu tới xe. Mẹ bỏ hai va li vô xe. Rồi mình lái xe về. Con và TQ không có ngủ trông xe, mình ngủ trên máy bay rồi. Lúc mình tới về TD và ba vẫn còn thức. TD nói chị làm kem. Mà nó cứng quá. Con đi lên lầu bỏ cặp con ở trong phòng. Rồi mẹ nói con đi tắm. Lúc mà con xong con phải cất đồ ở trong va li. Con nằm trên giường chút xíu rồi mẹ nói lấy bàn chải. Mẹ đánh răng con trước. Con nằm lên giường lại. Rồi ba đi ngủ phòng con. Tại vì phòng mẹ chật quá. Rồi xong con đi ngủ. Con dậy thấy TQ đi đánh răng. Mẹ gọi con dậy phải đi xuống lầu. Con đi xuống lầu thấy có sữa cho con. Con nói chuyện với TD chút xíu. Rồi xong con đi lên lầu phòng TD coi TV chút xíu. Rồi con nói chuyện bạn con trên fone mẹ. Mẹ nói nếu mình muốn chơi iPad con phải làm cái này. Viết một cái blog 50 câu tiếng việt. TQ và TD cũng phải làm. Mà con viết xong rồi.

Let me clarify this. At home, there is no iPad. No TV or computer or anything because I interact with the real world. But summer is my escape route, my mother lets my bring my iPad and its all good. I AM TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THIS OPPURTUNITY. IF I HEAR ONE MORE PERSON SAY IM ADDICTED I WILL LOSE IT. Playing on my iPad is not my personality. Playing on my iPad is not my personality. Playing on my iPad is not my personality. Playing on my iPad is not my personality. I would rather only be able to play for 2 months away from my mother than stay at home and interact with the real world. BECAUSE I BARELY GET THE CHANCE TO. Once summer ends and I have to go back, my iPad goes back into the dusty cabinet in the corner of my kitchen. UNTIL SUMMER ROLLS AROUND AGAIN AND I GET TO CLEAN THE DUST OFF. Yes. This IS directly pointed to YOU CAU NGAN. It is so hard to sit here and watch you tell everyone that were zombies without a screen in our face, without saying anything. You only know me this way because I chose to be this way FOR THE SUMMER. Again, my iPad will basically be non-existent once I go home. The second I step into my house my mother will ask to hand our iPads over and I interact with my family or draw or play with TQ ANYTHING.

I would like iot if I could go straight home but Im leaving to go too Virginia in 2 days. By car. Why not plane? I dont know either honestly but I just wanna go swimming in Florida cause I haven’t swam in a while. Also looking forward to the trip back home cause its only TQ and I. And I have a lot of money to buy snacks. I also decided we need a new charger cause TQ broke her new one as did I but the one I brought my family has been using for a while so it was on the brink of death. Thats means I have to use more money, I was hoping I could save it so that I could get switch. Dangit

just because i need to write a blog, i will point out the pros and cons(more like the terrible flaws) of all of the cousins

-Bien

He gets really embarrassed whenever we point out the slightest mistake or prove him wrong. Some of Bien’s favorite lines;

“Heyyy!!!!”

“Hmph!”

“Rahh!!”

“Well-”

-Nam

I say Nam is a bad person but if you really think about all the bad things about him you can only list a few. I have the feeling that before Nam does anything or say anything, he has some complex way of thinking about the outcome. He never really seems surprised by my reactions of his actions, as if he had a list of what I may say. I think Nam’s an emotionless robot. Take that how you will.

-Khang

He sucks.

-Khoi

There are a couple really good things about him but he also had a terrible attitude. Sorry.

-Y Vien

She is baby. I cant really say anything about her because I dont know if she will stay the way she is or whether she’ll change while she grows so for now, Y Vien is —.

-Nhi

Great she’s my favorite cousin. Dont be offended. However I dont get to see her often until around this year so I dont really remember how she was before but I love Nhi. 10/10

I just finished ATLA yesterday and I am very satisfied, except for the fact that the sequel, The Legend of Korra doesn’t come out on Netflix until next year. Just so that youre not confused. Im talking about Avatar: The Last Airbender. I started it about 2 weeks ago and I finished it yesterday. I AM TALKING ABOUT THE SHOW NOT THE MOVIE ITS TRASH. If you wanna know what it’s about, listen to the intro, its very informing. I wont tell you too much about it in case you want to watch it yourself but 9/10 would recommend since most of the people reading this are my mom, and she only cares for non-fictional films. Like-

Ted Bundy

take me home

i would like to binge on my tv in my mother’s room and watch Avatar.

please

My dream room would obviously not include a certain, messy, annoying, little sister. I dont want it to be too big but I dont want it to be as small as my current room, so maybe ThucDan’s current room size is good enough for me. My walls are painted a light olive green, and mt closer wall will have random pictures scattered around it. My bed must be next to my window and the frame cant be like a borderline, kinda like ThucDan’s but I dont want the thick border on the edges. A desk is a must needed item and I want a bookstack, not the way a  library arranges books cause I have that right now and the bookstand keeps slipping. Too many books is not good, I have a load of books and I only read about 1/4 of them. I want one is those armless chairs, no back either. This is a long shot but I want one of those hanging vhairs that you hang from the ceiling and the chair is like an egg with an opening on one side. Wired hangers for my clothes, they look pretty cool, my cousin has wired hangers and it look awesome. Also I would prefer all of mt clothes to be hung, cause stacks either fall down or get jumbled up when I grab something from the bottom. I want a record player, and records, not for any reason I think record players look cool, plus I dont have a phone or a speaker to play music and my Alexa doesnt have Spotify Premium. I also really like hanging plants its super cool. And I need a snake enclosure, that or a dog.

i really want a nintendo switch

so that i can play the new animal crossing game, i watch all these people on youtube play and i just want it even more.

You are supposed to live on an island and terraform it and decorate. The fun part is inviting different animals to your island. There are 8 different personalities an villager(animal) can have.  Normal, Lazy, Uchi (Big Sisterly), Snooty, Cranky, Jock, Peppy and Smug. Each different personality can make different expressions, if you get a villager that has an expression that you cant make, you get the expression. You are only allowed to have 10 villagers on your island. So if I had an island I would try to get every personality and 2 more normal ones cause the cute ones are always normal so this gives me more choices. Each lf the villagers also have different unique phrases that they say after all of their sentences.

Even though I dont have the game I do have favorites. Seems wierd but its true.

-Normal

Im allowed to have 3 normal types but that still isnt enough cause all the cute ones are usually normal, but if I had to narrow it down to the top 3, it would be;

1. Coco(Bunny) Phrase: “doyoing”

2. Maple(Bear Cub)  Phrase: “honey”

3. Molly(Duck) Phrase: “quakidee”

Coco is actually my all time favorite in Animal Crossing and I didnt even know something as cute as Molly existed but here we are. Maple is a very popular one and if you look her up you can tell why.

-Peppy

I didnt realize peppy villagers are cute. And I can only choose one.

1. Wendy(Sheep) Phrase: “lambkins”

Wendy is sort of a hippie but she is so adorable her theme is fruit. Her clothes are literally fruit. In Animal Crossing Pocket Camp her scarf is a watermelon. I couldnt say no.

-Uchi

Im not a big fan of this personality but the villagers are so nice its hard to pick just one, but yeah.

1. Agnes(Pig) Phrase: “snuffle”

There arent a lot of Uchi types but Agnes stood out to me, she is very encouraging.

-Snooty

A lot of these villagers are very popular and once again, one is not enough.

1. Judy(Bear Cub) Phrase: “myohmy”

Judy is extremely popular for her anime eyes. I like her because her interests are music related. So if I get her she will sometimes sing.

-Cranky

These villagers are very funny looking in my opinion.

1. Camofrog(Frog) Phrase: “ten-hut”

Not many people like the frog species but they are my favorite species in Animal Crossing and Camofrog’s phrase is very fitting.

-Jock

The jocks are a bit cocky to me but there is one that I think is perfect;

1. Billy(Goat) “dagnaabit”

Its a goat, what more do you want.

-Lazy

Lazy is by far the best personality.

1. Zucker(Octopus) Phrase: “bloop”

Zucker has a chopstick in his head, hes supposed to look like Takoyaki, they did an amazing job designing him, I mean, he says bloop.

-Smug

I dont know what to say.

1. Raymond(Cat) Phrase: “crisp”

Raymond is the god of Animal Crossing.

Now there are a couple of species in AC that should be deleted.

1. Anteater. Just no. Sorry Annalise.

2. Mouse. There are some villagers I like that are mice. Just kidding only one. Chadder. But I chose Raymond over him so he was a worthy sacrafice.

3. Cow. No.

4. Monkey. Makes me feel like Im gonna get eaten.

Thats all!

Get me my Switch and AC please.

We were heading to the car with all of our stuff either on our backs or in our hands. I was going in Vinh’s car with Nam and Vinh. It was gonna be a 3 hour drive but I was pretty sure that we would be entertained enough with Nam’s amazing comedy. I played Minecraft for about twenty minutes and then my head started hurting. By then we stopped by a gas station. Everyone stretched their legs and bought snacks, or went to the bathroom. We got back in the car and Nam brought out his Switch. We played a few rounds of Smash but Nam kept winning so we switched to Mario Kart. But without any surprise Nam won most of the time. Vinh and I tried playing Splatoon but it wasn’t working for us, or maybe we sucked. We finally got to the rental house and I ringed the doorbell a few times. Cau said that my parents would be inside waiting for us but I rang it two times and no answer. I knocked a couple of times and then I saw my mom rushing to the door. We all settled in and Nam Vinh, Bien and I chose a room downstairs next to the ping pong table. It wasn’t even 10 minutes of us claiming the room when Vinh said we had claimed another room cause we got kicked out. There was no size difference in this room apart from the fact there was a mirror. The plan was Bien and I slept on the bed and Nam and Vinh were on the bunk bed. We were just hanging around and we got called for lunch(dinner?). We were having noodles and lobster, which was fabulous. We ate, and the adults went outside for the campfire. I followed behind them and everyone roasted marshmallows. Ryan kept arguing about the fact that Him, TD and Khang were supposed to be the only ones roasting marshmallows and the little kids were “too young” to roast marshmallows. Did an age limit for roasting marshmallows get set and nobody told me? When we ran out of marshmallows Ryan began to complain about the fact that it was the little kids’ faults cause they weren’t supposed to out there in the first place. It was really getting on my nerves about the fact that Ryan was only one year older than me and treating me, and the other kids, like two year olds that can’t walk yet. He also kept bringing up the fact that it was his idea to roast marshmallows. Khang, Ryan and TD started burning wood and it looked pretty cool, so I tried it, turns out it’s addicted to burn wood and pollute the air. I’m sorry. We went inside and played on our devices for while until it was bed time. Ba Hien and Vinh ended up sleeping on the bed and Nam was on the top bunk, Bien and I shared the bottom bunk. Thus ended the first day.

I’ll do a part 2 if Y Vien says I’m ugly.
