Calamity in Staples Center

The stadium was full of people and it was hard to assimilate into the crowd. Kevin came to see the classic game of the Lakers VS Celtics with his son Blake. He could not afford the expensive seats in the front rows, so he had to buy the seats on the back of the stadium. The Staples Center was always crowded, especially when there is a classic game like Lakers VS Celtics. Kevin regretted buying the $20 dollar seats. He could barely see the players on the court.

Kevin saw a strange man sitting down right next to him. He had a guitar case strapped to his back. It was strange. Why did the man bring a guitar case to a basketball game? His facial expression looked as if he was drugged and drunk. Kevin thought that the guy was suspicious, and decided to meticulously watch over him constantly. He didn’t want his son to get hurt.

During the second half, Kobe Bryant from the Los Angeles Lakers received a technical foul for aggressively pushing a player from the other team. The fans were outraged. Bryant shouted at the referee in dissension. The referee ejected Bryant from the game, and the fans shouted in disgust. That was when the stadium was in a state of calamity.

The stranger opened his guitar case and took out what looked like a sniper. Nobody noticed since everyone’s attention was on the basketball game. However, Kevin noticed. The stranger aimed at the court. Kevin immediately reacted and tackled the stranger. The bullet was fired, but it didn’t hit anybody. Kevin had tackled him at the right time. The stranger dropped his sniper, and the sound of the bullet made everyone’s attention go towards the stranger and Kevin. Kevin held him down on the floor while the security guards came. Kevin, his son, and the stranger were all arrested but Kevin and his son was later on released.

The next day, Kevin was lionized by the citizens of Los Angeles. He was on the newspaper and his neighbors had congratulated him. The stranger was found guilty for attempted murder and was sentenced 10 years in jail. Kevin was a town hero for saving the players from getting hurt. NBA granted Kevin and his son VIP membership to all future NBA games.

Ending the king's anarchy

A long time ago, there was a lazy king. A king who cared only for himself and didn’t care about the citizens of the country. His lack of work also made the government lackadaisical. He would raise the tax just for building a new palace for himself and his family. The citizens didn’t like the anarchy at all. They were mad. They had meetings in small towns and planned for a riot. Soon there were protests and riots in every part of the country. However, everyone who participated in the riots were apprehended and put in jail by the king. The citizens were outraged. They wanted the king to resign. Some even wanted him dead.

Johnny, a 35 year old veteran assassin could not stand the king's madness. Other people begged him to assassinate him. Therefore, Johnny planned for a conspiracy with his crew of assassins. They planned to kill the king while he was on his way to terminate the riots. It was obviously a simple plan and nobody thought that Johnny would succeed. The king always carried the best trained army called the Black Capes. Only the best of the soldiers were able to join the Black Capes. All of the Black Capes members were given a long black cape as an approval of the king. However, Johnny was not an ordinary assassin. He was highly trained since he was a young kid. Even the king had feared him. One time, the King wanted Johnny to be the leader of the Black Capes. Johnny declined back then. Johnny and co. wanted to end the anarchy and give the country back its peace. The Black Capes was no match for Johnny's agility and skill. While his crew distracted the Black Capes, Johnny quickly assassinated the king with his nimble body. The king was dead and the country regained their peace. The citizens asked Johnny to become their new king, but Johnny declined.

Travel Journal...Day 26

The early sunshine in Bocas Del Toro woke me up. Today was one of my best days in Bocas Del Toro because we did a lot of touring. With a private captain and a private hotel boat that only carried our family and the captain, we went around the islands near Bocas Del Toro. Much included snorkeling, dolphin watching, seafoods and beaches. It was funny when the captain caught a sloth from a tree and showed it to our family. The lazy monkey was the slowest creature I ever saw.

Today I woke up at 4:30. I had to wake up early because we were going to Bocas Del Toro today. But the bad part is that the trip was by... car. We had to drive all the way to Bocas Del Toro and it took around 9 hours in total to get there. In a port near Bocas Del Toro called Almirante, we had to park our car since we couldn't take our car to the island. Then we went on a boat to the Isla Colon Island. The best part was that we went to a hotel OVER the ocean. So the hotel was basically not on land, but over the water. It was like an isolated place, but it was really good there. The emerald green water was really clear.

Basketball Again =D Today however, I played with some special people. Matthew and his dad and his younger brother Sammy, Evert, Nich, their parents, and a guy called Sebastian and his parents. We played basketball in the small school gym. After that, I went to Nich/Evert's house and played 1-on-1 against Nich. I lost 20-16, but trust me, it's pretty hard to win against a guy who is almost the height of an NBA player... I had a great day, hanging around with Matt and playing basketball all day.

Happy New Years!

This is the day 2010 ends and 2011 starts!I stayed up until 12 and I watched the mediocre fireworks from the windows of my apartment. The fireworks sucked compared to the fireworks in other countries but at least there were fireworks. I hope 2011 is better than 2010 and I hope nothing gets stolen again like my laptop and my iPhone...
