ThucLam is Better than Nam

Virginia is a state with Richmond as the capital. It also has The Washington Monument and The Lincoln Memorial. West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and North Carolina are all around Virginia. BUT WE’RE NOT TALKING GEOGRAPHY HERE. That gave me an idea to make a post about geography.

 

So anyway let’s start at the wedding where it was ThucQuyen’s turn and my turn to walk down the aisle and throw flower petals. So apparently I was walking to fast and people “quietly” said SLOW DOWN or TOO FAST or either SLOWER. In my mind I was like, well strangers I want this to get over with so please stop “whispering” in my ear. After that Vincent said his vows and Doan also said hers and then all those prayers, blah blah blah and they kissed like normal weddings. So then we had  wait why are my colors BLUE OK NOW WHY ARE MY COLORFUL WORDS UPPERCASED? Ok that’s better anyways, the photographer took Vincent and Doan for pictures and it started to rain. Annie took an umbrella, opened it and the wind blew the umbrella inside out. Annie straitened it and ran to Doan to put the umbrella over her head. Then when we went to eat, there was a buffet, one thing we got was bread and at the end of the table there was “ice cream” it was actually butter. I saw a person think that the butter was ice cream, so they took half a spoonful and put on their plate. Then outside I saw them take a spoonful of butter and put it in their mouth. Their face was like, :3.

 

So let’s go laser tagging! We went laser tagging a few days later and I was on a team with Doan, Kim and ThucQuyen for the first game. Then with ThucDan and Vincent the second game. Then Annie and Tien the last game. There was a mini arcade so we played there a little. Then we went to the movies and watched Beauty and the Beast but the people who already saw get to watch Gifted. The next day me, Doan, Chi, TD and TQ WENT TO THE PETTING ZOO. The animals there were so cute and fluffy like the alpaca/goat. The next day we went to a bowling alley. I had to use a dinosaur a little but the others I did by hand. So then I THINK we went home and the next day we went to eat and then to the airport and we got our tickets, went through security and went to our gate, got on our plane, and like it was magic, we were in Arizona. So there you go, my Virginia trip………..

 

KIDDING THERE’S MORE, check out my new post I’m going to post a couple minutes after I post this so yeah thanks. Um, you can go now. PLEASE GO IT’S CREEPY WATCHING YOU STOCK ME AND HEAR ME TELL YOU ABOUT THIS TRIP……..please? LIKE I’M NOT KIDDING IT’S REALLY REALLY REALLY CREEPY WATCHING YOU STARE AT ME.

 

 

GOODBYE.

So today I gonna do a change of plans. So ThucLam got the baloney(Nam if you are reading this I still don’t care)and ThucQuyen starved to death.

 

After eating the baloney and ThucQuyen dying,ThucLam packed her stuff,the tent and ThucQuyen’s belongings. When ThucLam looked inside of ThucQuyen’s pack she found TONS AND TONS of food. She thought,she was trying to make me starve without knowing all this food in her pack! After days of having several delicious meals ThucLam thought of trying to find a railroad and follow it. Good news:ThucLam found a railroad. Bad news:apparently the railroad was a bit LOT farther than she expected. Just as she was about to give up ThucLam saw light coming from a gas station! “Please tell me the do not only have gas as a drink cause water would so be better after all that food!” ThucLam moaned,she walked over and saw an empty car(oh I forgot to tell you but now out of nowhere when ThucLam blinked the forest became a desert). She had an idea, all she needed to do was make sure no one was in the gas station. Becoming luck for ThucLam, no one was in the store and the car door was unlocked!(bad safety)so ThucLam got in the car and then remembered,I don’t know how to drive…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The car was a HONDA.

Once upon a time the little girls named,ThucQuyen and ThucLam,they were lost in the woods so they did not have anything. But what they did have was one piece of baloney(don’t care if I spelled it wrong) ThucLam said,”How about we go to sleep and when we wake up then the person who has the best dream gets the baloney,ok?”. ThucQuyen answered,”That’s a great idea!”. The next morning ThucLam said to ThucQuyen,”I will tell my dream first. So I dreamed that I died in a fire and went to heaven. Why you can’t beat a dream like that so I get the baloney!”. Before ThucLam grabbed the baloney ThucQuyen said,”I believe you ThucLam because my dream was similar. You died in a fire and I thought you weren’t coming back,so I ate the baloney.”. The girls did rock paper,scissors,shoot. First round, ThucLam:rock,ThucQuyen:rock. Second round,ThucLam: paper,ThucQuyen:paper. Third round,ThucLam:scissors,ThucQuyen:scissors. To be continued……..

 

 

 

There will be a second and third part!

Hello and my name is ThucLam 8 year old in third grade.

 

As you can see my title is called “:3” for some reason. I actually have a story for why I chose that title.

 

After my win of 25$(it was supposed to be 50$ but someone robbed me ahem* Nam)I got robbed. But the person who robbed me was dumb and generous enough to leave me with 25$. But that’s probably not the reason you are reading this. Here is the real answer, after I got robbed a made a face “:3” apparently I was able to hold to the next morning but when I tried to smile my couldn’t move my face, that was when my mom took me to the doctor.  The doctor said,”ThucLam you have the “face freeze”. I was explained to that the face freeze doesn’t last forever only if you find the cure. I was “sick” for school for 2 weeks. I should’ve told you this but the face freeze is from SpongeBob. I’m not kidding it’s actually true, I know I’m as shocked as you are. No one I know knows what the cure was so I looked it up on Google. The good news was that the cure was at my friend’s garden house. The bad news is that she live in New York. I looked up some more. Good news:I found another cure, MORE good news:they were the mint leaves in my garden! But on with the bad news:everyone in my family is allergic to mint leaves. We didn’t know until everyone smelt them. I had no other choice but to touch them. I immediately started itching REALLY itching my arm but when I put gloves on and my medicine I felt better. Google said to make mint tea and drink from it for a week. I did what it said, 🙂 that is the face I made the week after the end.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

P.S that really didn’t happen and I love all you cause you are my friends fans!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Hi my name is ThucLam and I just turned 8 and that was around my time of winter break.

 

My winter break, now how should I start this out? Ah, now I remember. It all started about a week ago, when me my mom and sister went to Nevada to pick up my uncle and my cousins. We first flew to Nevada then went to a hotel then drove back to Arizona(home sweet home). I was actually looking forward to that time becausemy baby cousin Y Vien is chubby cute and funny so….yeah. But when we rented a car and started the road trip at the Hoover Dam every one was asleep(except for me and the person who was driving)Khoi,Y Vien and ThucQuyen was laying on me. And here is the order they were in; Y Vien’s head was on my right shoulder, ThucQuyen was laying on my lap and Khoi’s head was on my left shoulder. At first I really didn’t mind but when my whole body started to ache it really bothered me but I didn’t want to wake them all up cause then Y Vien would probably cry and Khoi would go screaming but ThucQuen maybe wouldn’t do much harm. We came to my house at about 6:40 and everything went off on a pretty rough start. Kids were screaming all over(some were crying),kids wouldn’t share including Khang and Nam. And that pretty much started the adults to tell them”TIME TO OPEN THE PRESENTS!!!!!”. Which basically started a riot of kids screaming and yelling louder that before. What I got for Christmas are a musical jewelry box, a wall clock and a notebook for some of my cool designs. But my last present was the best, it was a spiralgraphic thingymagig. I don’t know how but I love it by the way it looks. We decided we were going on a road trip but since it was pretty late everyone was tired, so we decided the trip would tomorrow. The adults started packing right away so that they wouldn’t waste time packing the next day. The next day we got in this big van with 12 seats for the road trip. But sadly 12 seats wasn’t enough so we had to go in separate cars. And of COURSE I rode in the van although Y Vien was in a separate car. I found out that we were going to California first,and oh no my colors are purple now ah never mind that so wait what is happening first my words are purple now they are more bolder and fancier!? AHHH never mind that to. As I was saying, the trip was about 2 or 3 hours I don’t know I didn’t count. We stoped at Dunkin Donuts for donuts cause we didn’t have breakfast and everyone was staving plus me. We rented an OK house but it wasn’t that comfortable. After a moment of 24 hours of uncomfortable we finally went onto Las Vegas,Nevada. One of my cousins Nam thought Las Vegas was in California I told him it was in Nevada but he said that I was pronouncing Nevada wrong Nevada is pronounced (NE-VADE-A) and I was pronouncing it (NE-VEA-DA) after him explaining all that to me I finally understood him. After that chaos we got this really nice hotel room that connected to another room. I found this wierd remote and pressed some buttons while pointing it to the drapes. Magically it opened! After thinking it was magic I found out the remote was for opening and closing the drapes it seemed really cool then I started to play with it. Nam,Khoi,Y Vien and ThucQuyen played to we made this little show while recording on Nam’s IPad I mostly did the opening and closing the drapes while Khoi was the audience, Nam was the host,ThucQuyen and Y Vien were the people in the “curtains” we call them.   All the parents went to the casino except for my grandma and uncle but soon we had to go to bed. Khang and Nam slept on the couch while Bien, ThucDan and grandma slept on one bed and ThucQuyen and I on the other bed. Khang got a pillow and a cover for a blanket but Nam got worse he got a used towel for a blanket and a pillow. In the morning everyone was everywhere here and there shouting and yelling I couldn’t hear myself think! We jammed into the van. On the way we saw Trump Tower  and Nam started yelling”BOMB TRUMP TOWER BOMB TRUMP TOWER!”. You could probably hear him from miles and miles away……WAIT no that’s to much so how about……….200 feet away…YES MUCH BETTER! We arrived at what seemed to be Arizona but instead what part I didn’t mention is that it was the Grand Canyon it was FREEZING!!!!!!! I did NOT know there was snow in Arizona so I was pretty much unprepared. There was also this lighthouse thing and ThucDan and I went to the top but I wondered around so I pretty much lost ThucDan. Then I yelled”THUCDANNNNNN!!” she said back to me from what seemed to be the bottom floor”IM DOWN HERE!!” and I yelled back “WHERE!!” then she said “DOWN HERE!!” and I said back”WHERE THOUGH!!”. And this pretty much went on until I was out of breath and went downstairs   and didn’t find her so I told my mom she said she saw her here somewhere then I spotted her!!!! I ran then saw she was playing with stamps. After the Grand Canyon we went to Sedona and went hiking Nam’s dad suggested we go down alone while he waited for the others which is what we did Khang and ThucDan went in one group while Nam and I were ahead we finally found the creek  were going to and saw Nam’s dad wave to us from above so we ran up to the family although they didn’t see the creek we went back to the van and drove to this far away place to eat. There was this statue and a penny was on it’s hand Nam said if you touch it the statue will come to life and haunt you or something like that. I took the penny. Nothing happened but then it kind of seemed like the eyes were moving towards me and the penny so I put the penny back. After we ate we got ice cream ThucDan shared with me while ThucQuyen got her own. then we went back to my house,ate some more,went to sleep,woke up,brushed our teeth and all that. And tHEN HERE I am writing my blog post I’m also only doing this because Nam’s dad said”Whoever writes the best blog with 500 or more words they get a 50$ ITunes gift card we were all in I don’t know about Nam,Khang and ThucDan but all I know is I’m going to win anyways that’s all there is to my story. BYE!!!!

The Christmas Pageant, Joseph and his wife Mary=The Best Christmas Pageant Ever!!!!!!!!

 

As you can see the best Christmas pageant ever would HAVE to have Joseph and Mary or the Christmas pageant wouldn’t BE a Christmas pageant. It would just be angels,shepherds,the three kings and baby Jesus with no mother.

ANYWAYS, of course the Christmas pageant at my school had Mary and Joseph,angels,the three kings and baby Jesus WITH a mother. My older sister ThucDan got to be in the pageant because at my school it’s a tradition to have the eighth graders to make the pageant a Christmas pageant. I myself was in the pageant choir so I was proud of my self. The pageant was on the 19th of December as usual, and ThucDan was a floor angel and a king’s angel. For some reason the king’s have their own angels—-although I do not know why. Let me just get to the point about-well me. I sang quite awesomely that night. My friends Vinh and Kally were quite J-E-A-L-O-U-S(I think and hope). Before the pageant started  Kally and Vinh went up where I was going to sing and just held up their phones and said “CHEESE LARRY!!”(Larry is the nickname they use for me). I got embarrassed and acted like I hated it when they do that. So I stood up and grabbed Vinh’s hands and almost dropped the phone. After that I felt tough and mad, the guy who sat next to saw the WHOLE thing and leaned over to me and said “Were those your brother and sister?!”. I gave him my “are-you-serious?”look then he backed up and sat down. After the pageant Kally and Vinh said “We want a tour ThucQuyen gave us a tour of your friend not the school and Dominic was worse he only showed us a TREE CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT GUY?!!?”. So I gave them a tour(to make them stop whining)of the basketball court since they ABSOLUTELY LOVE BASKETBALL. Then they bragged about how could touch the roof and I couldn’t. The pageant was also very cool. Oh I forgot to tell you guys how much I saw of the pageant. Ok here are most of who played what in the pageant I know,Bianca-Mary Nathan-Joseph Blaze,Donovan and Issac-the three kings Mathew-angel Gabriel Gabe and Kelly-narrators. Sorry but that’s all I know. thank you for reading my post,Merry Christmas guys!!!!!!!

Hey you might remember me from the past posts as you can see school is finally here! My teacher’s name is Mrs.Mulkern, she’s the best! Sometimes she gives us candy if we behave. I’m in room 5 and that’s where they have chess club, too bad I’m not in chess club anymore :(. Anyway I am super excited because last week we had auditions for honors choir and the pageant choir in December. The greatest thing of my life happened when school started, I found out in music class we have a different music teacher, Mr.Love when he’s angry we call him Mr.Evol because love spelled backwards sounds like evil, anyways , Sister Christine our old music teacher isn’t OUR music teacher anymore we have Mr.Love ( Mr.Evol)! In Mr.Love’s class we actually get to learn about music not just sing songs and watch Sister play the guitar. My spanish teacher Mrs.Alba teaches us real Spanish in our composition notebook unlike she does with second gaders and lower. I have a feeling this year is going to be awesome( unlike last year here at SSJ)!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      So today is a Friday and on Fridays we go to mass(church)as always in honors choir you get to sing in church so if I make it to the choir mass won’t be so boring like it always is! In third grade at SSJ  third graders have to learn cursive , at first I  thought it was SOOO hard, but then I got the hang of it so now I’m awesome (unlike my friends(not to be rude) Reagan and Stephanie)at cursive. Mrs.Mulkern says I am awesome at cursive but I am not so sure about that I’ve checked my cursive several times and I so do not think I’m good at it. The word count is 296. It changed now I will keep on talking about my third grade life cause the word count should be about at 378 when I’m done with this post. I am glad that um you know um……………………………….?

Hi, it’s been a long time since I have wrote a post on my blog but it’s almost school time and I haven’t introduced my new school (drum roll please)SSJ!(also known as Saint Simon and Jude)It’s catholic,private and costs a LOT of money and by that I mean a LOT. But they make over $1,000 a year I think I also think that they are one of the top ten schools such as Saint Mary’s and others. I’m lucky to be in such a school for 7 years! If you don’t understand I mean I’m going to be in that school for 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th and 8th grade ThucDan(one of my sisters) is olny going to be at SSJ for 2 years and ThucQuyen(my other sister) is going to be at SSJ for 9 years. My school only goes up to 8th grade. When TD(ThucDan) is in 9th grade I wonder what schoolshe’ll go to. Maybe she’ll go to Xavier or maybe Bourgade, never mind that’ll be later in the days.  Anyways if you have any questions then ask them in the comments. BYE!!

So we went to Vietnam and I was really exited when we got on the plane nothing was wrong:)……………………………………………..WAIT! There WEREN’T ANY TV’S! I was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bored I couldn’t sleep without the TV. When we got to Vietnam I was like WHOA WHAT motorcycles in Vietnam this place is cra cra (cra cra as in  crazy) 😯 I’m not in trouble but in Vietnam it is so weird! we went to this restaurant and it was so good I might wanna go there again. I was so hot so when I took a shower we didn’t know how to get the hot water on so that was a relief  but in the end I was kind a cold so I had to shower with cold water 😥 when I came out I wanted a towel so bad and I was to cold to move so my mom got it for me. That was when my uncle came he brought both of my cousins the eldest Khoi and his little sister that I don’t know how to spell her name. I’m that kind of cousin.  I also went on  motorcycles so did my mom and sister and I went to this mall and bought some ice cream I chose vanilla and TD chose avocado then we came home well it’s actually not my house it’s I don’t know what’s her name but over there houses have four or five stories and that one had four I really wanted a five stories but it wasn’t. Too bad for me. I now remember I took a walk with my mom and sister to buy some bread but when we crossed the street over there they don’t use crosswalks or have them so it’s really dangerous. I had to sleep on the bed hard floor. 👿 IT WAS SO HARD! I could not sleep. I also drank avocado smoothies serval of them and two strawberry smoothies and one orange smoothie.   😛   I also ate a bunch of bread 😛 SO YUM YUM IN MA TUM TUM 😛 ! We got wet once and I did not like it! I am asking you this question, if you have been in Vietnam already, then do you like it? To answer, comment me at nguyenusa.com. But this is not the end!

I also can’t speak Vietnamese that well so I didn’t understand that much. So I had kind of a hard time talking to people. You better be listening because you won’t remember this! Every time we went walking we walked a long time. When we went off the plane I went on a taxi with my mom and sister. When I was on the taxi I saw a really pretty park and a lot of people on motorcycles and bikes. Some people were really nice. I also complained a lot because it was so hot. I was so mad because when I asked my mom for something and she didn’t give me it I complained a lot.
