Good Times with my Cousins

Yesterday, I started playing a game called TINY TOONS: BUSTER'S HIDDEN TREASURE. It was incredible the number of memories this game brought.



When I was younger, my sister Florencia was getting baptized so my cousins Valeria and Natalia came over. No wait sorry. The year before that, we all went to the cottage we rented and Paco, Martin and my cousins, and many others from Argentina were there. We discovered this game there. Me and Vale spent HOURS playing it but we weren't too good. So anyway, they decided they were going to stay at our place. I think I was 7 or 8 and you know how they say that little kids aren't always too smart.....we kinda brought home the wrong game( before moving i had a game that was exactly like it except it was about sports). We got home, plugged in the Sega and to our surprise, the game was there. Ok, look. I must confess. I was seven so this was 5 years ago dad. We kinda liked the game so much, it may of slipped into our hands..... This was the best kept secret of my life.




A year passed and I kept playing and playing until I finally beat the impossible level. So, I had to E-Mail my cousin. She E-Mailed me back saying " omg how could i have not seen that. Ohh man. We might be coming again for your sisters baptism." I got all pumped and couldn't really wait for them to come. I waited. And waited. And waited. Yes three whole waits. And finally January came and so did they. Of course, as soon as they got there we hit the video games and we played. I remember I had to go to a soccer tournament and when I got back, Vale ran up to me and said "WE BEAT IT!". Then I was like" Oh no u di-nt". And they proved it to me by beating it again. I also recall us hating a guy Montana Max.





He was really anoyying because he always killed us.



Ahhhh. ha ha ha. I just remember somthing that happened with my other cousin. She came with me and on the way back, we stopped by a Wendy's. The Almada families seem to have a lot in common because what we ordered was the same. a plain cheeseburger combo with only cheese. We got our meals and left. We ate in my dad's car. The funny thing was that my dad opened his burger after us (20 minutes after) and instead of cheese it had.......onions, pickles, tomato, lettuce, mustard, ketchup, mayo and probably other things.


It basically looked like this!!! My dad also said in the midst of swearing and cursing that he half expected mashed potatoes instead of French Fries!!

We laughed ourselfs out( Naty and I) Until we got home. Then... we told everyone.

Back to the game... I was chatting with my cousin Vale and we were just wowed at how much we loved that game. It was so cool to see that she remembered too!

Pancakes, Pancakes, Pancakes

Ok, I don't know if I'll survive writing this post since my tummy is gurgling with all the SUGAR I had today. But, I'll try.






Today was pancake tuesday. I was really excited because I was going to have Pancakes for lunch and dinner. We started cooking pancakes in class at about 10:35, just after science class. We cooked and plugged in so many things that the teacher said that if I turned on the computer, the fuse would litterally blow. Oh and today was also the DEBUT of my new magic trick, the "Cough, Cough Signature Trick". Anyway, my first pancake basically looked like this.


Then, I took a break and practiced my trick with my right hand man Colja Boy...I mean Colton. I got a couple more pancakes and then it was time to do my trick. Everyone was impressed and I will try to post a video of it on youtube.



L8er, I got home then left straight to church. We made pancakes for everyone. I made and flipped about two hundred and 57 thousand baches. My hands are soooo tired.



I just finished eating chili and I don't think my tummy will survive the nite..........

:S

OH and btw, biddie, i totally agree with ur thought on the filming of cloverfield. :P

Cloverfield

I went to see the movie Cloverfield a week ago and I forgot to write about it. :S

Anyway, the movie is about a group of people that get caught in the middle of the time when cloverfield attacks. Cloverfield is a giant godzilla type monster that attacks New York.
This is a picture of the movie poster.

The filming is quite different though. If you've seen King Kong, the filming is steady and professional. But, in this movie, all the filming is done with a com corder. It adds some suspense because, for example, in one part, they knock cloverfield down and there is a lot smoke so you can't see anything. But, all of a sudden, he comes out and attacks the chopper that this group of people are in. The camara shakes, gets knocked down and Hud, the filmmaker, hits his head when they fell so hard that he dies. These are three of the characters.


Oh and FYI, Rob is on the left, Marlina in the middle and Lily on the right.


One more thing, Marlina got bit and she went to a military base, she started bleedin out of her eye and they started freakin out yelling "bite!".. she was brought behind a curtain and you hear splat, and blood shoots all over the curtain. Me and my friend were REALLY freaked out. THE GIRL EXPLODED!!! OMG!

But, all in all, it was enjoyable.
