Why Badminton is One of my Favorite Sports

December 5, 2008

Badminton is one of my favorite sports, and there is this time I won a badminton championship match in ICA, I felt great when I won for my school.

Here are some reasons why I like badminton.

First reason why I like badminton is because of having friends in playing badminton. So that you have someone to play with and spend some time together, and showing him/her on how well you play.

Second reason why I like badminton is the racquets you use. There are 2 kinds of racquets, beginner and advanced. I have both kinds. 2 are light and 1 is heavy.

Third reason why I like badminton is where you can play badminton. You can play almost anywhere except the streets.

I rate this 8/10. Although it’s my favorite sport, I have other favorites. Cause my favorite is basketball.

Symbols in My Book

November 26, 2008

The title of the book I read is called, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The author of the book is Robert Louis Stevenson. This book is about a man named Dr. Jekyll, who did an experiment to prove that there can be 2 persons in 1 body. 1 of them is the good; the other is the evil side. Then he realized that when he turns into his evil side, Mr. Hyde, he kept on hurting his friends, and almost everyone is aware of him.

I am going to enumerate 5 symbols in the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. First, the happy and frown face, they represent the evil and good side in 1 body. Second, the red drug, it symbolizes that you can change either to your good or evil side. Third, the mirror in the story, you can see your-self in the evil side after taking the drug. Fourth, the newspaper, it represents events that happens today, or future events that will/might happen. Finally, the letter, it represents the proof or evidence that a person would leave before he/she dies.

These are the most common symbols in the book, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It contains symbols for both good and evil.

The book also has symbols of what the good person did, like the poison; he drank it so that he will not turn into his evil side, and the letter leaves evidence for his/her friends to let them know what happened, or what they don’t know. My opinion of the book is that it is a nice book about how two forms in 1 body interact or change in different ways. We don’t have Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in us, because we only have our own good and bad sides in the inside. We can’t transform to our own good or evil sides.

 RATING:

8-marksFor good points, 8/10, because the story is good for those who are having trouble when they are in their bad side.

For bad points, 2/10, because the story tells what evil people do.  Like roaming around the streets in the night, hurting people in your way, and the story may be a bit boring for others.

Why is Final Fantasy VII one of my favorite movies?

October 29, 2008

I am reviewing about all the characters I know, all the weapons they have, and every fight of the movie.

The characters are Cloud, Tifa, Sephiroth, Yufie, and Cid, these are the characters I know best. Cloud is one of the main and famous characters in the movie. Each character has different abilities in fighting. Some characters have their weakness in fighting. Some may even have some side effects in their abilities.

The weapons they have are guns and swords, or other weapons that are wackable. Each weapon they hold is powerful, it depends on what type of fighters they are. Their weapons are easy to handle. Sometimes their weapons can easily be destroyed by a bigger one. Some of their weapons may be too big or small to handle in combat.

Every fight in the movie is intense and fast. All their battles are mostly fast. They would use their abilities in different ways in each battle. Sometimes villains have upper hands in these battles, like Seohiroth, he can fly during battles and attack swiftly, thats why he is one of the hard enemies in both the movie and the game. The places they would fight on are very hazardous or difficult to fight in. 

almost...

almost...

I rate it 9 out of 10, because the 1st reason is that their battles are so fast that none of us could even try it for real. 2nd is that almost every character is in  the movie. The last reason is that there is always a fight between Sephiroth and Cloud in the last.

Why Halo 3 is a top rated Xbox 360 game

October 22, 2008

Halo 3 is about humans trying to stop Prophet Truth and the covenant from firing all halo rings from different places. There are p. kinds of species in the covenant: elites, grunts, brutes, hunters, drones, and jackals. The elites used to be the military force of the covenant, but the brutes became the full force and the prophets betrayed their kind, so the elites joined the humans in the UNSC to get revenge on Truth. The grunts are smallest units, but always throw grenades. The brutes are like advanced apes, they are no push-overs, there is standard type, then captain, and the chieftain, the strongest in the pack. Hunters are like worms with arms and legs with armor and a heavy cannon in the right arm. Drones are like giant flies, and they usually use plasma pistols. The jackals are good snipers/sharpshooters, sometimes they use pistols. Its not just about the covenant, there is another species called the flood, parasites that would easily feed on the carcass of a human or covenant species, and that is the reason why Truth wanted to activate all halo rings, to kill the humans and elites so that the flood would die in starvation.

The heroes in the story are Spartan 117/John (player 1), the Arbiter (elite and player 2), Sergeant Major Johnson, Commander Miranda Keyes, Shipmaster (elite), Cortana (program), and Lord Hood, the leader of the UNSC.

The villains are Prophet Truth, Gravemind, leader of the flood, and Oracle, at first ally, but in the end, he became an enemy when he found out that Master Chief (Spartan 117) and the Arbiter are gonna destroy one of the halo rings.

There are so many weapons we could us in the game, some are weak, most are powerfull, those are rocket launchers, sniper rifles, shotguns, and the spartan laser, you can find them around the map.

When you go to a diff. level, you don’t get stronger, you still stay the same, but sometimes earn diff. weapons.

Weapons have diff. strength, pistols are weak, but handy when you ran out of ammo. The human assault rifle is rapid fire, and could take out a grunt in no time. The human battle rifle is useful for long range, and can fire 3 bullets at the same time. The human shotgun is good, cause after a shot and whack, you can kill anything instantly. The rocket launcher can kill like a vehicle with a few passengers, or big groups of enemies. The plasma pistol can lower the shields of a player when fully charged. The plasma rifle can rapid fire and it may need time to recharge after full use. The carbine is like a rapid firing sniper rifle. The brute spiker is dangerous in close range. The brute mauler is a shotgun, but hand-size. The brute shot is a grenade launcher. The fuel rod gun is a rocket for the covenant. The human spartan laser can deliver a one shot one kill. The human sniper rifle is just like the original sniper rifle like now. The beam rifle is a highly advanced sniper rifle for the covenant.

The good things about the game is that you get to kill aliens and play online w/ friends, the campaign is easy for those who are new, they could play on easy or normal difficulty. Then you can experience about being a shooter, and team playing.

The bad things are that you keep on dying in multiplayer or all missions in legendary and all skulls turned on. Sometimes you may forget about what you learned in school.
