Me and Kobe

This is a picture of me, my team, and kobe bryant.

My First Time at Kobe Academy

I had lots of fun at the Kobe Bryant Academy. The Kobe Bryant Academy is a basketball camp. Its awesome. We had games, did drills, and had a dunk contest. I stayed in a dormitory with 3 people. My roommates were pretty cool. The first day I set my bed and peeked around the resort. Then I went to the Thunderdome and played basketball. The Thunderdome was awesome. It was pretty big. I also got to see Kobe. After that we separated into teams. Then we had dinner. The next day we did drills. We got to see kobe again. We had a photo shoot.



This is a video about the second day of Kobe Academy.  The day after that we had 2 games. We also saw kobe do a 360 dunk. We also saw Matt Barnes. Him and Kobe played Knockout with some other kids. We also saw him play one on one with some other kids.





 The day after that we had 1 regular game and one playoff game. We lost the playoff game. But that day we had a dunk contest.





One of the coaches won it. One of the campers participated in it but he lost in the first round. I had fun that day. On the last day I packed my bags. and went to the gym. We played one last game but lost. But then each camper got an autograph from kobe. He signed my basketball. Then we had an award ceremony. Lastly I went to the hotel and took my bags and went home.

My First Sleep Away Camp In San Bernandino

Hey guys. I had lots of fun at camp last week. We did so many things. On Saturday  my parents dropped me off at around 3:30. That day we had a game of ice breaker. Then we meditated and ate dinner (its a regular camp founded by SRF, Self  Realization Fellowship).We had macaroni for dinner that night. Then we played basketball. The next day we had a lot of fun. We had pancakes and fake sausages for breakfast. We played water polo, climbed ropes, and played kickball. We also had a welcome campfire after dinner. The day after that we learned a different type of meditation technique. We also started to craft an alter. We had yoga, games and, stories. The next day we hiked. The day after that we did archery, rope climbing, and yoga. I won best archer in the whole camp. That day we had movie night. We watched Megamind. The day after that we finished our alter and played water polo. The next day we had biking, capture the flag and volleyball. The last day we ate breakfast and went on a bus that dropped us off at a temple. My dad picked me up from there.

Rawhide

3 days ago my family took a trip to Phoenix Arizona. It was a long car ride to Phoenix. It took about 7 hours to reach our resort. Our resort was called Desert Arroyo. If you would like to visit it, the website is, http://www.trails.com/raintrees-desert-arroyo-hotel-131199.html. Too bad we only stayed there for 2 days. The first day we didn't really do anything because we arrived very late. But we went to a restaurant called Pita Garden. It was a great place to have dinner. The next day I went to the Arizona Science Center. There website was http://www.azscience.org/. It was way better than the California Science Center. I learned alot more there actually. That night we ate dinner at a place called Claim Jumper. The food there was awesome. I had a cheese calzone over there. It was great. If you would like to eat there visit the website, http://www.claimjumper.com/. The next day I took a quick dip in the jacuzzi. Then we checked out. But before we left Phoenix, we went to a place called Rawhide. It was a tourist attraction that was meant to look like the old west. It was great. I went rock climbing, I rode in a chariot, I rode in a little train, watched a show, took a ride on a mechanical bull. It was really fun. If you ever go to Phoenix visit Rawhide. It totally looked like the old west. There was a blacksmith's shop and a town jail. There was also a gold panning place. Everything was so cool. We left Rawhide at 2:30 and ate lunch at 3:30. Visit the website, http://www.rawhide.com/. We ate a huge and filling lunch at Denny's. Then we drove for so much time. But after some time I was back home in Los Angeles.

Junior Orchestra Performance at my School 2010

Hi All,

Just before the winter vacations at our school I performed at the orchestra at my school. I was playing the bass and it was a really wonderful experience. Enjoy the video below.

Guitar performance at Musician's Institute, Hollywood 2010

Hey Guys,

I got to perform at the Musician's insititute recently in Hollywood. Below is a video clipping for the same. Enjoy.

Goal!

Hey Guys, yesterday I had an awesome game of soccer. The score was 5-2. It's a good thing we won this game because it was the playoffs. If we had lost we would have been out of the league. I play as goalie in soccer. The only problem about goalie is that your under a lot of pressure. The weird thing about this game was that one kid scored all our 5 goals. I block a lot of goals but the other team scored 2. Both of them weren't my fault. The first goal was a free kick. A kid kicked it and a defender on my team was inside the goal. The ball went right over his head and he didn't even jump. The second goal happened because my defense wasn't active. But I don't care about that because we won.

Rock you like a hurricane

Boulevard of Broken Dreams

A Fire Inside

Knowing

Knowing  is a movie that you must watch. It's a great thriller. It also has Nicholas Cage in it . A school decide to bury a time capsule - in it are some chilling predictions -- some that have already occurred and others that are about to -- that lead him to believe his family plays a role in the events that are about to unfold .

My First Rockstar Camp

I had a good time at the my first Rock Star Camp. I play guitar. I learned guitar at Hollywood Academy of Music. It was from 9:00 to 2:00 from Monday to Friday. We made a song and also worked on a song by Green Day called Boulevard of Broken Dreams. I played the bass for the song that we made and guitar for Boulevard of Broken Dreams. We later performed it on Sunday at the Music Institute. We also took a tour at the MI. It's for people who want to have a full time music career. You could play all kinds of instruments there. It was the greatest music school I have ever seen. I also loved the camp. Here is the song we made. It's called A Fire Inside. If you wanna hear a recording of it go to http://www.myspace.com/hollywoodacademyofmusic

Step Up 3D Movie Review

On Saturday July 7, I had watched the premiere of Step Up 3D. Me and my friend got an invitation to it at a movie theater. The movie was great. Step up 3D was a dance movie. The dancers were really good. They had really good stunts. It was about a dance competition. The movie had a great plot and concept. I was also really funny. There were a lot of dancers in this movie. They had great effects. Like in the end the dancers put lights in there costume. Everyone must watch this movie.

My First BaseBall Camp

I spent last week at baseball camp in San Diego. I was so excited. We played a lot of games. I play every position. I stayed at a hotel called The Comfort Inn & Suites. My room was great. I had one roommate; He was my friend who took me to camp. His name is Bennett. I had a good time with him. He played in my baseball league. I had a great experience at the camp. In the morning I would wake up, take a shower, get dressed and go to the breakfast room. There was a lot of varieties for breakfast. They had cereal, waffles, hard boiled eggs, toast, bagel and cream cheese, chocolate chip muffins, danishes and etc.

Our Coaches were good. We had Lew who was on the NY Mets, Casey who was a pitcher in high school but played as an outfielder on the Colorado Rockies, 2 other coaches both named Joe.

When I came to camp everybody stretched for 40 minutes. After that we would play catch. Then we would do infield/outfield. I play everything. Mostly catcher.

We would also do pitching. I pitched really well. A lot of people at camp were so weird. For lunch we would eat subway. It was really good. After that we would stretch again and play a little catch. At the end we would go back to our hotel and have dinner. On Wednesday in the evening most of the overnight campers went to Seaworld. I did too. It was good. 8 people (including me) came. The coaches left us alone. 2 people split up with us and met us at the Shamu Show. The next day we went to a Padres game. The Padres won the Dodgers 4 to 1.

My favorite sport is baseball.

My First Victory of a Minor Baseball League

Here is my whole team except one person.

Another Song

Hey I made another song on guitar. Here it is.

                   A Fire

Em------------------------------------

C-------------------------------------

Em-------------------------------------

My beautiful house once caught on fire,

C----------------------------------------
Just like my friend who was a dirty old liar.

Am--------------------------------------

It blew away my car,

C---------------------------------------

The parts went so far.

Am--------------------------------------

It blew away every thing I had,

C----------------------------------------

Right now I am very mad and sad.

Em--------------------------------------

As I saw my house I let out a cry,

C----------------------------------------

My temperature was enormously high.

Am--------------------------------------

I hated that fire,

Am--------------------------------------

I hated that fire,

C---------------------------------------

It took my desires.

Em-------------------------------------

I looked up at the sky,

C---------------------------------------

And I felt like I would die.

Am-------------------------------------

Then I saw a big firetruck,

C---------------------------------------

And I payed the men a lot of bucks.

Karate Tournament

Last week on Sunday, March 21, I went to a Karate tournament. Part of it was good and part of it I didn't like. There were many people in every age group so they gave awards to 1st to 3rd place. I won first place in strongest kick. I thought I would actually win in strongest punch, which was another event, instead. I didn't win anything else. I didn't like the instructors and the rest of the tournament because they were unfair. Like my friend when he went there once he did the sparring (fighting) event. He was I think was a purple belt or probably higher. They made him face a brown belt, which is close to black. My friend would have won him but the sensei's were unfair to him.

A Cool Basketball Match

On, Monday I had a basketball match. It was really cool. In the whole game I think I scored 13 points. I scored 1 free throw. My team is getting better. We started passing more. So the score was 22 to 12 and we won. But on Saturday we're versing a really good team.

African American History Museum

On October 27 I went to an african american museum. It wasn't too good though. I didn't learn too much. After that I went to the science center and I saw the air and space exhibit. I saw the apollo 11 ship. I also saw a model of a astronaut's suit. They said that it weighed 180 lbs. on Earth.
