Last week we went to a small perya in dasmarinas, Cavite. It was the smallest carnival i've been to with just three attractions that were the star of the show there. Aside from the attractions there were the booths, every booth there was had multiple booths offering the same items with a few different snacks. The booth that had the most people lined up around it was a gambling station,
I don't know how the game works exactly but I think I get the concept of the game. You bet on a certain color and there were these giant dice with each of the 6 colors you can vote for on them, once you place your money on a certain color they'd roll the dice and you have a 1/6th chance to get the dice to roll on the color you voted for, if the dice landed on the color you bid on you get a sum of money larger than how much you bid. I don't understand why it was the most popular booth when there were booths that allowed you to shoot a bb gun, a pyramid toss game and more.
The rides were very small but nonetheless fun to go on, since this was not the first time i've been to this local carnival i know that it is missing a large portion of the rides they had last year, last year i went they had a ferris wheel,a pirate ship and more compared to this years but since the perya was only built a week ago they might still implement the rest of the rides, though highly unlikely as they are running low on space with all the booths. The perya consists mainly of fun booths, a few food stations and a few attractions that will make you dizzy if you have motion sickness. I will gladly come back again next year to see how much will change from this years visit to the perya, they have after all changed more than half of the attractions and booth since last year.
You do not need to bring much money as most of the rides and booths cost less than 1 dollar, so you can go to a decent amount of attractions with just 100 pesos but it really depends on how much people you're planning on going with. We only went with 6 people including me and my mother, and we got to go to every ride and booth with just a small coin purse with some left, we did not go to the gambling stations.

The Teenagers Brain
An extremely important part of the brain is the grey matter, gray matter contains neurons which help your mind communicate with your body to perform a physical action. As you grow older the volume of grey matter increases then declines.
The volume of grey matter is at its highest when your a child then slowly declines over the time the child grows. In the early ages when the teenager is growing up start to gain synapse helping information pass between different nerve cell, a synapse acts as a junction between two nerve cells.
When you turn into an adult you start a process called pruning, pruning is a process where you start to lose synapses, it's important to exercise your mind so you prune less. As you mature your connections to different parts of the brain will increase, increasing the speed in which your body can transmit pulses.
It's also important that you get plenty of sleep, adolescence brings with it a change of sleep regulation, inadequate sleep is a major contributor to depression and have a major affect on the maturing child's attitude. Since I am still maturing myself these are just the things that I did the research on, the rest is left for me to learn while I grow up.

Hurricane Katrina
Hurricane Katrina struck the United State's Gulf Coast in he morning of August 29, 2005. The total death toll that Katrina caused is unknown, the estimated amount ranges from 1,200 to 1,800+, Katrina hit several states some of these are: Florida, the Gulf of Mexico, and New Orleans. New Orleans was hit the hardest and the amount of damage it caused was catastrophic. The aftermath it brought caused over $100 billion dollars in damage. Many residents of Mississippi, Lousiana, and Alabama had their homes destroyed by the storm. Hurricane Katrina was about 400 miles long reaching winds of more than 100 miles per hour. The storm caused so much flooding that nearly 80 percent of the city was covered with water, people had to break through their attic and climb to the roof for safety.

The Cell
All living organisms can be classified into two cell groups Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic. Prokaryotic cells are smaller, independent from the other cells and less complex than Eukaryotic, Prokaryotic cells take form of bacteria and blue-green algae, and Archaea. Eukaryotic cells unlike Prokaryotic contain a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells are bigger more complex and are seen in animal, plants, protists, and fungai. The Eukaryotic cell contains many organelles I will explain some of them and their jobs in the cell. The nucleus contains the DNA the nucleus is the one controlling the cell and what cell it become. Nucleolus is contained in the Nucleus. The nucleolus' job is to assemble the ribosomes. The ribosomes job is to help build protein, the ribosome is a large subunit over a smaller subunit while messenger rna goes through building the protein. The Cytoplasm made up of Cytosols. Cytoplasm acts as the internal-substructure for the cell. All the contents of the Prokaryotic are stored within the Cytoplasm. The lysome or the suicide sac has the ability to break down all sorts of biomolecules. The lysome said job is to digest the unwanted materials from the Cytoplasm. The reason this organelle has a nickname of the suicide sac is because when this organelle pops the digestive juice spreads to the whole cell eating itself. These are just some of the many organelles inside a Eukaryotic cell.
DNA
This is my report on what makes DNA. To know what makes DNA all you really need to know is what is a Nucleotide and the three parts of a Nucleotide. The first part is the Nitrogenous Base it's basically a nitrogen which has a molecule that has the properties of a base. The second part of a Nucleotide is a Deoxyribose sugar the reason they call it that is because in the rna its group is called ribose sugar Anderson hydroxyl group contains oxygen while deoxyribose sugar doesn't contain oxygen. The last part is a Phosphate which is familiar with ATP, ATP contains three Phosphate groups. The backbone of DNA contains numbered prime carbons which travels from 3' to 5' DNA is also known to be anti-parallel meaning it goes from 3' to 5' on one side and goes in the opposite direction in the other side.

Ghost Town Visit, Calico California September 2014
Calico Town is ghost town that was founded in 1881, Calico was also considered a silver mining town. We took a small train ride tour around the area we saw some of the old silver mines and learned a little bit more about its history.
On the train we saw some of the things you could do there you could try gold panning, eat and drink, and visit the museums. It was a good experience for me to visit another ghost town and I really enjoyed it.
Calico Ghost Town has a lot of activities to try and I recommend trying them all, I didn't go to all the activities but I still had a good time.

Randsburg, California Visit August 2014
On our way to Death Valley we decided to stop by Randsburg Ghost Town. We took some pictures, visit the musuem, and to eat lunch. We found a parking space among some other tourists cars.
First, we decided to visit the museum and to learn more about the ghost town. In the museum they had many of the minerals they would find in the mines.
Randsburg was discovered in 1895, its founders were John Shingleton, Charlie Burcham, and F.M Mooers. They originally called it The Rand after the South African mining district, then it became Rand Camp, then Randsburg.
We ate lunch there and got some drinks to take with us on the car trip. This is the first ghost town I've been to and I really enjoy this trip. I really hope people touring should visit this place. I also recommend you eat there I really recommend their food.
