Post #3: Letter to the Future

Wednesday, 28 August, 2013

Dear you, (yes you)

My name is Phuong, and I'm 12 years old (to be 13). This is a letter which should be with the grade 8C at Canadian International School Vietnam's time capsule. This time capsule are things from 2013 (or somewhere near) that we did for our first literacy project. You are supposed to find this at 2023 which means 20 years later so if you are not at that year then close the letter this instant.

I don't know about you, but my day-to-day life is very easy and normal, just like every other kid at my age. I wake up at 6 in the morning, go for a 45 minutes exercise after brushing teeth. After that I changed to my uniform and "ride" my car to school. Grade 8 is hard to me, but I'm learning as much as I can so I can go to USA and learn next year. In the afternoon, I arrived home at 4 and after taking a shower, I do my homework. I eat dinner at 7 and I did some TOEFL lessons to improve my English. I also take vocal training, painting, piano and ballet class. 

Famous musicians in these days are big pop star like Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Adele,... and my favourite... the princess of Country music - Taylor Swift!! Another very popular music is K-pop. Korean Pop, you might know them through popular bands like SNSD as known as Girl's Generation, Super Junior, Big Bang, T-Ara, 2NE1,... Another hobby of mine is watching cartoons. A very very very very very VERY awesome movie that just came out is Despicable Me 2! Oh I just love those yellow minions. You like reading? I hope you have those books that flip pages by itself! I like Doraemon.

People nowadays spend most of their time on the computer (like me). We rely a LOT on internet. From education to information, finding jobs,... I think that you guys use it too, maybe more than us. Environmetal issues is still a huge problem. Biodiversity is decreasing, pollution is getting worse. The ozone is slowly damage. There are still some child labour in the world.

In 20 years, I hope you can solve the environmental problems and stop the child labour. Protect the animals! Live a peacefully and happily life together! And remember to invent flying cars!

Sincerely,

Quach Le Tam Phuong

Post #2: Time Capsule (Creative story)

The Time Capsule

*Story and ideas by Phuong. Warning: The details in the story are not real. This is a fiction.*                         

   It was Saturday. I have just finished a full lunch. Lying on the couch with the magazine on my hand but not reading it, I think of what to do next. I stood up and look outside of the window. 
   The weather is so perfect, light wind with a little bit of sunlight. I decide that I would go for a walk in the garden.
   The garden behind my house is connected to the bushes leaded to the neighbor's garden, so we shared a huge piece of land where I could kill my time. The garden are filled with plants and flowers. Roses, sunflowers, daisies, some vegetables and all sorts of trees. I sat down in front of a purple tulip, took out a paper on a hard piece of board with a pencil and start measuring and sketching the beautiful flower. 
   Suddenly I saw something shines from the ground very brightly. I crawl over and use my pencil to push the dirt out. A key.
   I quickly went to the store room and find a shovel to dig up the ground. I found a not-small-not-big box. On the top, there is a small square the wrote "TIME CAPSULE - Open in 2012". That was last year.
   I once again ran into the store room to find a hammer. I unlock the the lock and then open it. Guess what I found inside.
   The first thing I saw when I open the box was 2 dresses, 1 red 1 blue. They were made of the type of cloth that is really thick and heavy. They were long to the ankles, and have black buttons on them. 1 long sleeves and 1 short sleeves, with no flower or decoration. I wonder who would where such thing. They would probably be sweaty on the sunny days.

   The second thing is some black and short wigs. They were kind of curly and looks old.
   The last thing I found was a black and white photo of some people wearing clothes that look like the other 2 dresses.
   After doing some research, I found out that these stuff were near the 1950s. I think that this is a great idea to store things that are from my time so the people in the future can see how it was in the past. I am going to find a box to make a TIME CAPSULE and burry it deep under the ground so maybe in 2100 or some when other people might see what it was in 2013.

Post #1: About me

Tuesday, 20 August, 2013

   Hiii ~ My name is Phuong, Quach Le Tam Phuong is my full name. I've always wonder why my last name is Quach, sound kind of like I'm Chinese. My mom said that maybe my great great great great great x100 grandfather might be Chinese. But I don't think I am, I don't even know that language.

   I have black hair and brown eyes, but the sun causes my hair to my kind of brown-ish. I'm short (only 158cm) and normal.

   I am a girl (obviously). I was born 17 days away  from 2001 and I am currently 12 almost 13. I'm a CIS student and today is the first day of grade 8 with Mr. Vaughan (pronounced Von) ! This is my 3rd year at CIS, and all of my class is C (6C, 7C, 8C). What a fun thing. So, let get to know my family!

   I have a 40 years old mom and a 41 years old dad. I also have a little sister who is studying at grade 3C in CIS. In my dad family, I have 4 cousins, 3 of them are older than me and 1 of them is only 2 years old. In my mom family, there are so many cousins than I can;t even remember.

  I like to eat, watch television, read books, sleep, sing and listen to music. My favourite food is... umm... I don't really know, there's so many to choose! I like sushi, noodle, pizza,... I also like ice cream, cookies, and white chocolateeeee! My favourite movies and shows are cartoons! I know it's hard to believe but even though I'm 12 already, I still prefer cartoons than actions and romance... I also watch horrors, like Mama... I like to watch some K-dramas and K-game show. I also like The Voice Kid. Favourite book? Probably Doraemon :)) And other comics. I don't like long books that takes like FOREVER to finish because I will fell asleep as soon as I reach page number 3. Okay, we are getting to the important part, MUSIC!!! Music is my life! I can't live without it! And what is my favourite music type? OF COURSE!! IT'S KPOP!!! Yes, Korean Pop. My favourite band is T-Ara, the one with 6 girls. I  like them for their couragous. They have been through so many scandals and have so many anti-fans and some even tell them to disband. But they still stand and fight. My favourite solo idols are Ailee and Taylor Swift.
