Mi Horario

A Day in Minecraft

A Day in Minecraft

Wood, stones, ladders

The building blocks of my house

Chop, chop, chop

Waves my axe 

Extending the floor, digging up the basement

Click

       Click

             Click

Selecting all the bits

Sort, sort, sort
Putting everything into chests

Stab, stab, stab
Goes my sword on the cow
Hungry, hungry, hungry
Time to roast the meat
Yum, yum, yum
Licks my tongue to the feast
Zzz...
    Zzz...
      Zzz...
Off to bed I doze

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

When I reached the small wooden platform, I restrained myself from hitting the tree in front of me. The rainforest floor was a long way down. I grabbed the zip line hook and pulled it around the tree to get to the next starting point. But this wasn't an ordinary line. Instead of stretching across the rainforest, it was going straight down. This was called abseiling.

"Please go slowly please? Please?" Whined Anissa. She was with us in Chiang Mai along with her older sister Anya. The guide didn't reply but his face curled up with a smile.  Anissa held onto the rope tightly as she got ready to slide down.  The whining faded. We all thought it would be a gentle drop until ... "Aahhh!!!" yelled Anissa.  The yelling stopped soon, which meant she hit the ground. "It's a lot farther down than you think!" she called up. Anya pleaded to the guide like Anissa, but the guide didn't respond either. When going down, she screamed even louder than Anissa.

Now, it was my sister's turn. "I don't want to do it!" she pleaded. But she had got no sympathy. She slid down the rope and let out a small squeal. "It's kinda scary", she shouted to me. My stomach churned as I held the rope tightly when it was my turn. I started down slowly, then all of a sudden, the wind started brushing against my face fast, my eyes closed tightly. A few seconds later, I landed uncomfortably on a bean-bag-like thing. I sighed heavily looking down.  "How did you not scream?" asked Anissa, with a perplexed expression. "I have my tricks." I finally smiled.

Paddleboarding to the Cove

Paddle-boarding to the Cove

I was paddle-boarding my way through the brown saltwater, trying to get to a big rock out in the distant cove. I swung my paddle back and forth, from left to right. But when getting to the cove, I noticed that the water was actually green and clear, and the seaweed was poking out. I was busy looking and suddenly ... CRASH!!!

I fell on the board while looking around for what hit me. It turned out that I had run into a huge rock next to the cove. I was about to get off the board and take a breath when I saw something beneath me. There were 10 small colorful clams surrounding the rock. …I better not sit on the rock. Maybe I should sit on the board instead... I said in my mind. 

After resting on my paddle board, I scanned the cove, trying to spot life. A few seconds later, I saw a black-tip reef shark dart across the water with its black fin sticking out. I hastily started to swing the paddle through the water to follow it. I kept chasing it, and chasing it, and chasing it …
