Day 5 - Summer Learning Journey 2

Activity 2: Making a Fashion Statement

Obviously, it's different. Fashion today is more like showing bodies, especially to woman and I hate those kind of style. Most girls today hate wearing dresses except for prom or debut. They think these are old fashioned and out of style but for me, it's much better to wear formal decent clothes.

I think after 65 years from now, most people are wearing in suits and mini skirts, v-necks, super shorty-shorts, probably some will only wear underwear-like clothes and in high heels.

  Bonus: Sweet tooth

My favourite sweet treat ever are chocolate brownies, I can't resist their smell and taste. Plus a fresh milk.

Here is what I found in google. An easy recipe of brownies using microwave only, if you don't have oven.



Ingredients:

1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup cocoa

Cream sugar and butter together

Add eggs and vanilla, mix well

Stir flour and cocoa together, then add into the egg mixture (you can also add some nuts)

Grease a glass pie pan then coat with sugar

Pour the batter onto the pan

Microwave for 4 1/2 - 5 mins.

Day 3 - Summer Learning Journey

Activity 1: Dealing with Stress

Stress is my number one enemy so as I grow up, I discover many things how to get rid of them. I do many things actually, I do what I love doing and I love what I do. I made this quote myslef,

"Do what you love, and love what you do"

Doing things that you really enjoy helps me de-stress. Like, fangirling over BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan), A KPOP Group in South Korea, their song comforts me and understands me, I also watch their extra videos and MVs, I loved their concept that lead me being a bookworm. I'm reading Demian: The Youth of Sinclair; this story is connected to the concept of BTS, and also The One Who Walk Away From Omelas. Since I was a child, I really love reading. I also do arts to keep stress away, like drawing portraits of people. I also do journal as my personal and unique friend. I listen to music, especially the songs of BTS, ofcourse. Then, I pray and read bible, as you know I'm a Christian. Sometimes, I watch videos of animals, I'm an animal lover, I used to have a pet dog and cats, they really help me de-stress. I also sing, like having my own concert inside my room, I sing with BTS, I dance and exercise.

These are the things I usually do. I hope you can pick up something that can help you.

Activity 2: Offering a Helping Hand

-Tell the other people around the world about what's happening, and they can donate their old stuffs to them.

- Do Fun Run!!!

-Sell recycled things. Make Baskets out of old newspapers then sell it. I personally do this at home coz I want to help reduce waste for our planet.

Bonus: 

I would bring cookies and milk. It's really old here in New Zealand though sometimes it's also hot, but more often it's cold. This is a perfect snack to share with them. Or It could be mushroom soup or Sinigang (Filipino Food), it has a hot delicious soup with veggies and pork!

Day 2 - Summer Learning Journey 2

Activity 1: Popular Culture - The Silent Movie

Charlie Chaplin is one of my favourite comedy movies when I was a kid. I used to watch them with my family. Just like Mr. Bean, they make people laugh without using words. Anyone can enjoy this kind of movie, from children to adult, or a deaf person can be happy by watching this. 

I always enjoy funny silent movies, especially Charlie Chaplin and Mr. Bean. But if the genre is drama, action or horror, ofcourse I would much love it to have sounds and talks. 

Activity 2: Art Deco

⭐⭐⭐⭐ - It's indeed a good painting. I appreciate the art and effort put into this obra maestra. But this kind of paintings is not my style, for me it's just a classic painting - a fierce woman driving. This is my personal opinion only, I do not intend to hurt or offend someone.

Bonus: Crossing the Tasman

Words are not enough to be grateful

To God who lead and guide us

We thought that was our last

But my faith is more powerful.

Day 1 -Summer Learning Journey 2

Activity 1: The Early Years
h

Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament, Christchurch

popularly known as Christchurch Basilica, located at City Centre, Christchurch. It was built between 1864 and 1904, so it took 40 years before it was completely built. But because of earthquakes, the cathedral is now damaged it was closed since 2010.

Activity 2: The Right to Vote

Ofcourse, it's not fair. Men and women should have equality or have the same rights. We are all humans, the most beautiful creation of God so we should treat each other fairly.

Day 4 -Summer Learning Journey

Activity 1:  The Waiata - The song in your heart

My favourite is Aue te Aroha, I love the rhythm and the melody of the song, it's catchy that the song remained in my mind. Also, the lyrics were meaning, this proves that New Zealand acknowledges God, the Creator. I'm a Christian so I really loved it.

Activity 2: Playing Games

Matimati or Mitimiti

This game develops your ability to read your opponents attacks and also to disguise your attack to them. While playing the game, your feet should be place far from each other and when you are attacking, you palm should be open, if you break this rules, the points will be given to your opponent.

Bonus Activity:

My most favourite because the performance is fun and you can them enjoying what they were doing. Using poi added more points bc I really like watching Maori dancing using that.
2. Te Iti Kahurangi
They were so great, they were so in sync. The woman singing in high notes is really, really amazing. Though it's simple, I can appreciate it.
3. Te Puku te Ika
My least favourite because the the two performances above amazed me more than this.

Day 3 -Summer Learning Journey

Activity 1: The More, The Merrier?

For me, it would be happy to have a big family, or live with many family members and siblings, but thinking practically, the finance budget of supporting will be harder for us, especially for my parents. The work will be double. I would enjoy it to have one brother and sister with my mother and father. For me, someone who laughs and loves me is enough to have a happy home.
