You can play Warhammer in the Minichurs club after school, it's a great game.

Movies

I admit that I watched to many movies this vacation, I already watched 7 and have a chance of letting this number go up. Before the break I got a chance to go to Ratu Plaza to get some movies so I wont feel bored this break. The first movie I watched was Twilight, just after I finished the second book I watched this movie. Then I went and saw New Moon, the second movie in the Twilight Saga. After awhile Avatar came to the cinema and I saw it in 3D! After I saw Avatar I watched UP in my house, it's a pretty good movie. After UP I watched Transformers, so many action and fighting. Zombieland was the next movie I picked out, scary but with a bit of comedy also very bloody. The last movie is G-Force, about little hamsters being FBI and saving the world. This is a lot of movies.

SPORE

I finally got something I wanted, SPORE. I got it today from my next door neighbor Nicky Jo. Since SPORE is a very big file, and I don't have that big USB, we didn't know what to do. In the end thanks to Nicky's dad we burned it on a DVD. After it finished I raced to my laptop and put the disk in. It worked! Thanks to Nicky's dad I finally got SPORE! I played SPORE for an hour and didn't want to stop, but my dad said I have to study so I left my computer. I think this is the best thing happened to me in this vacation till now.

Happy New Year!

Wish You a Happy New Year
