My Poems

From Writing Class

My Poem

The challenges I face

Beyond the sports I grace.

Beckons me like commercials shooting out

Charms me like a perpetual bond

Between two people with friendship

It all started when I was in 5^th grade

Til’ then no one could stop me

From doing what I like the most

When summer comes, I’m out of shape

I miss my athleticism it kills me

Not being able to do anything

I am very adept but not as

Good as the sport stars.

I’m going to miss sports

For as long as I live

Times up for me this year

My last and I gotta do my best.

From Reading Class

Jenna Fox

Confused, Curious

Am I or am I not, Jenna Fox

So I’m told who she is. Am I really her though?

I’ve been in an accident, so they say.

I don’t remember much, but father says

It will come to me. Interesting part is

I remember drowning when I was walking home

From Mr. Bender’s house.

Interesting characters

Ethan, he cares about her

Wants to help Jenna with her cure.

Allys, She is different then the others

Knows Jenna’s secret, but wants to turn her in.

Changing this book would be the awful thing to do,

Becuase I know a book when I read one of the greatest.

What I like about this book is the mysterious parts

Of what’s going to happen next and

What’s going to happen to Jenna Fox?

“The Adoration of Jenna Fox” is easy to read

Because there’s understanding words to plead.

I would recommend this book to be absorbed

Because its magnificent that you won’t be bored.

Reporting For Duty

Hello there, another one of my posts. I'm feeling kind of sick today and I'm not sure if I will run in Kwethluk. School is still going good, but a little bit drama happened outside of school. It involved me in it, but I'm not going to say anything about it because it happened to me and some other people.
Well, school for me is great, I'm starting to come to school early because I don't want to be tardy, so that I can travel to places for sports. My classes are doing fine and I'm trying my best to keep up with my homework and all that other stuff.
Oh yeah, we went to Akiackak last week and our two young ones ran. They did a good job for two fourth graders, plus they were the only fourth graders on the team. The rest were 5th or 6th graders on up. I didn't run because I didn't get enough practices in, but I just went to cheer the fourth graders.
I guess that is it for today until next time.

Another School Year

Well, we have started school August 16, 2010 and this year is my last year of school. I can't wait to graduate, I'm so close. But I'm going to college after I graduate and I am thinking of having college at Fairbanks. Well anyways, school is going great but the classes are a bit boring at this moment.
The classes I am taking are Math, Writing, Reading, Yup'ik Language, Ecology, and Robotics. But next semester we are going to be taking different classes and I'm not sure what they are. I am still going for all of the sports that we have like cross country, N.Y.O, and basketball. Some of the activities we are going to do are Speech, Battle of the Books, AASG, and couple other ones I don't know of right now.
So far right now or this month we are practice running for cross country and I am trying my best because it is going to be my last year attending it. I am surely truly going to join N.Y.O because it is my favorite sport in the whole wild world. My second favorite sport is basketball and I would like to do my best at that one too. I know I do my best at N.Y.O because you know why, it's my favorite.
Well I guess that is it for today, and I will try to post events on my blog during this school year. I am proud to be a senior in high school. Good-Bye.

Feeling Better

Well today I feel much better than yesterday. But I hope I don't go down that road again.
I was talking with someone last night, but I'm not sure if it helped a lot. Well I think it did.
I was feeling all down after practice yesterday and I was thinking about a lot of stuff.

I'm over with whatever was in my head. But there might be more I'm not sure. I'm a lot happier today, but I wrote this like couple weeks ago so yea. Maybe because we are going Bethel for like 2 an a half days. I get to finally get out of my house. We are going Bethel for Multi-Media contest. I was so excited last night that I didn't go to bed until like 4 I think. Plus I was on the Internet rearranging things and what not.

Well I better get going so later people, Take care.

Todays That Day

Well I am feeling all down
There is no friends for me to talk to
But I'm looking for friends to talk to
my best friend just bailed on me
I have no one to talk to any more
It feels like someone just stabbed me
On the back with their dirty hands
I cry and I cry until I find someone
That is there for me forever
But after my friend bailed on me
I don't think I can trust any one
Except the ones i love the most
But I'm lost in my thoughts
I can't seem to find my way out
Everything is scattered everywhere
I'm to much keeping things to myself
Its all building up in one spot
Everything seems to be
Shutting down on me
Once one thing is down the rest does
I gotta find my way up some day
I don't know when that would be

But today is that f***en day I get messed up

This Weekend's Home Game

We might have home game, depending on when the body goes to Napaskiak. But I'm hoping that we will have home game because I got better kind of, not a whole lot though. I am also getting very addicted to playing ball.
Two year ago when I joined ball, I didn't know what I was doing so I didn't join the next year. When I finally knew what to do or most of the time knew what to do I joined again and I am starting to like it. :D
Back to home game.....I'm pretty nervous of playing at home game. Might start freaking out when I get on the gym. I didn't play in front of Napaskiak in a long time. Well I have nothing else to say, so I will stop right here.

Updating now :D

It's been a long time since I didn't Write in my blog because I have been so busy with everything else, I didn't have enough time to blog. Well a lot has happened during the months I couldn't blog. But I'm sure I will update them someday, I'm not sure when though.
Well anyways there is couple things going to happen here, at our school or not in our school but.....um...never mind...I don't know how to explain it. Any who, the up coming events that is going to happen. Maybe some of the things i did.
Lets see,we are going to work on movies for the Multi Media Contest. Also we joined basketball again since two year ago. I am also making a poem for the Art Contest and it will be about my first nephew. I'm not sure my poem will be that good because I'm not really good at making poems.
Last week we went to Kwethluk for basketball, but we lost against them. Hopefully we do our best at our home game or somewhere else, I'm not sure where were going, I have to ask my Coach. :D. I'll update some more when ever hope you enjoy reading. :D

My Memories

I remember a time when I was really scared. Actually two times I was really scared or afraid. Remember the time I told you about the Fourth of July incident. When I didn't eat all day and it was really hot or was really what you call it. Well that was when my sister, my cousin, and I were walking around Bethel. Walking to where my cousins stays and where my sister's boyfriend stays. Thats when we went to the store and bought energy drink and when I had mine i had a big stomach ache and I was running around and well you know the story. But if you didn't hear or read the about that on my blog. At the end of Fourth of July I crashed like fainting or something like that. Like everything went black and after that I was scared of fainting or something, like everything turning black.

This happened to me before Fourth of July. It was when we were having the Russian Orthodox Christmas I think. When I was making fried bread for our feast. Well while I was making them the stove turned off without me knowing it and I was feeling a bit hot or I started to sweet and went out for a fresh air and everything started to go black and I started to freak out. I started yelling out my mom and I remember they helped me outside. They said it was a carbon monoxide poison.

Those were the scarer times for me but I don't know about other people. But then at first I thought I was going to die at my house or at Bethel, but then I survived and I guess I'm happy of that but hey yea what the heck. Well I guess that is it for now, take cares people.

My weekend

My weekend was really great. I went to Eek for the first time in my life even if I have a bunch of relatives over there. But then I kind of had fun over there, but then I didn't meet any of them. Well we were over at Eek for an N.Y.O meet. I got nine ribbons for each event but then I didn't place in one event which is Indian stick pull. There is like Ten different events.

Lets see, there's Kneel jump where you have to kneel down and see how far you can jump by kneeling. Then there is Wrist carry where there is two people on both ends of a stick, you go in the middle and with your wrist you make a fist and put your wrist on the stick and hold your bottom wrist with your other hand and lift yourself. Then there is Two foot high kick. There will be a ball that will go higher once you kick it. You need both legs or shall I say feet to kick the ball. Toe kick, will be very difficult at first but once you know how, it will get easier and easier. With it there will be a stick on the floor that will be about maybe one inch thick and couple inches long. You will have to be couple inches away from the stick and try to jump as low as possible and kick the stick with your toes but not with your heels or any other parts of your feet, but just you toes. Next comes Alaskan High Kick (AK), You will be sitting down but then right hand on your left foot and your left hand on the floor, your right foot will be free to kick the ball. But then if your a lefty than it will be the other way around. Well I will tell you more about the N.Y.O event when I get around to it. I got like couple more to go, like maybe five more events, no there is like four more events I think. So yea I will tell you more about them when I have the time. Ok later and take care people.

Oh my Goodness

Oh my Oh my, I think I am myself again. I am so glad and hyper now, I was earlier. I'm not feeling depressed or any thing I'm just me self again hahaa. I am like wow, hahahahaha, nah just kidding. I good for now but I need to blog for like a couple more minutes then have to get ready to go Eek and all. I just wanted to say how happy I am or just being myself again like about time.

Well anyways back to my blog spot. Oh my goodness My younger sisters dog Goldie had puppies again and there like really cute and cute. There like really like you want to pinch their cheeks and stuff like that. But then they are brown black and white. The mouth part is black, the body part is like the mixter of brown black and white, but mostly brown. Well tell you more later I have to go now ohk later Take cares people.

Things I typed

I am kind of not in the world right now. I maybe awake but then in my mind it is sleeping, and dosed off into dreamland. But I need to wake up from that, because when I am like that i don't like to talk or anything. Some days I get annoyed when I am not in my happy modes, but right now I'm not annoyed just dosed off. Sometimes I think of things that might happen but then I go, nah it won't happen. I don't know what going to happen the rest of the day but I hope it isn't bad, but I hope I wake up. Lately I've staying up til' like 1 or 2 doing some homework, but then i fell asleep around 12. Sometimes I don't feel like talking most of the days I'm sad or mad or something. All this, everything that is happening, I mean everything, all around me is like building up on me. Whether I don't know whats going to happen or what I might do. There are some days that I don't like, or some things that I don't like. But I don't think I want to say them, because sometimes I do the things I don't like. I get scared and scared of telling some one about things that are going on. I know why but then I don't want to say them, because I do these things that I don't like. Its not something bad, but something that everyone does and say and stuff like that. I try not to, maybe thats why I talk so quiet or something. I do talk loud but then thats when we are out of class or when I am at home, but then I talk so quiet in class, or when ever I am around people I don't know. I these people here but then I still talk quiet. I know i can talk as loud as I can but then I can't talk as loud in the class, I don't know why. I don't think I can take this any more, well I can but then, its to........I don't know. (sigh). For the past few days were really slow but then started going fast but then still it feels like we've been in school for the past two weeks. It feels like that when it is a Friday or when ever. I'm almost better but then I still feel all, arrgh, something like that. If you read this, don't think its because of you, its because how I feel about things or that it is because of me. Because how I am everyday, depends on how much sleep I get or how the day is going. But I am sorry when ever I am like this, I don't know what to do anymore, well thats most of the time, when I am all sad or mad or whatever it is I am. The other night I was thinking, I wonder how would it be if these people were alive. But then I was like, it's ohk, I will see them some time, when its my time to go. I'm started to think of things like that, maybe for the past 5 days, but then I try not to what you call it. Well I'm ohk now I am going to stop right here now, because I have to go. BYE LATER, PEACE.

Foggy Day

When we went to Bethel this weekend, my brother and I, for a basketball game. It was kind of fun but kind of boring but it was fun. But then when we went it was really foggy can't even see anything for like a few feet away. At first i thought we were gonna get lost but then I like nah, i know my brother. It was really awesome though, really foggy and the way it looked. It was almost like one of the movies, I think it was called the "Fog" or something like that can't remember. Well yea it was like that, it was like someone or something would pop up it was really qungvarnaq (meaning like getting scared or cold running up your spine). Oh yea forgot to tell you at first we went to the back trail when we went to Bethel, it was really bumpy and awesome and scary. But still kind of awesome.

Oh yea before all this happened, during the day when I went out of my house. I was like whoa, how did it get so foggy all of a sudden. This was, I think when I was doing laundry on a Friday, maybe. I would have taken the picture but then I didn't have my computer but still I had I camera but then I wasn't thinking of that earlier. I was to what you call it, I don't know. I would have taken a picture, hahaa. Well any ways, I had fun going up to Bethel and coming back form Bethel. Well I guess that is it for now, I have nothing to say now I think, maybe, who knows. Well later peoples, Peace.

Blah!!!

Thats the story for today people. Nah...I'm just playing......but if you know this type of language you can translate it and it would say....Once upon a time i forgot the rest....the end. Nah...just kidding....who knows what this type of language or this type thing...well anyways trying the think of what to say here. My story, my story, my story, what could it be about. Thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking, of a poem but cannot come out.

The day is going by to fast
But i cannot see the past
Now it is going to slow
Waiting for the time to glow
So many things we've done
I stop right here to be the sun

I have no more rhythm
Because there is no system
Everything is turning
The world would be burning
Why is there to be crying?
When I can be trying

Running out of things to say
Thinking about the day
What am I saying
But why am I staying
OK I'm out of here
But don't be there

Peace

On MY Gram's Feast

This week feels like it is going to be a long week, because it feels like its really long. Maybe because last weekend felt like it was really long. But then it was fun on saterday because we had my gram's feast and at the same time we went to go get someone from across the river. Bunna, Issa, and I went to go bring them back and I didn't have snow pants on just my sweater, coat, thin pants, and winter boots. When we went back, my uncle Jimmy needed a ride or someone to bring him to Bethel, but then there was just us girls so we brought him. I was how I was and it was not that cold, but then it was snowing. When we got there I wasn't cold yet, but when we were going back to Oscarville it was snowing really bad and we almost got lost but then my sister Bunna just followed the trail. Right when we were near Oscarville i was getting kinda cold but then on;y my knees because my pants were getting wet and my hands were getting cold because I wasn't using any gloves. We made it, but then right when we got to my uncle's house and when we went in I started getting cold. It was really fun going to Napas and then going to Bethel, It was awesome. I could have gone sick if it was cold out when we went, but then i was OK i guess. Well maybe not. After that warm snowy day it started to get cold out, I said to myself, if it was like this i would be freezing if we go in this type of weather. Well i guess thats it for now.

Blah

Mind blank....can't think of anything to write. My mind is not thinking really good. It is not thinking of anything right now only the sleep I got and it wants some more sleep. My head is being weird, like it is being pounded by something. I can't think of anything to write even I try to think, my brain might turn it down or something like that. But then I'm writing how my head is blank from sleeping those 12 full hours:D. I'm still sleepy though, I don't know why. My minds to blank to think well can think of stuff but then my mind still will think that it is blank and stuff like that. I still can't think of anything else, I guess, I don't know what to write....Still trying to think of what to write. But every time I think of one it's gone.

Christmas Break

Having our own Slaaviq this year in Oscarville was really fun, well kind of. I was to busy at home, getting ready before they came to my house. So I just to the rest of the houses after our house. It was kind of fun singing, but then I kind of didn't know the songs, so I didn't really sing all the song only the ones I knew. Then I finally went to Napas to have slaavi..but then I didn't really sing that much, only in one house. It was kind of fun but then yea. I wasn't really wanting to sing, because...I don't know why though. I went to 3 or 4 houses in Napaskiak, because we are having school, and we had to go home early.

I went to Anchorage this Christmas break, because it was my turn this year. Every year my siblings and I take turns going to Anchorage with my mom. Well anyways I had fun, kind of, maybe:D. But then we did all lot of shopping and at the end of the days when we are at our hotel my feet like is very sore and stuff. The hotel was called Hampton Inn, it was ok, kind of didn't like it but then it was good. It had a swimming pool but then i didn;t get to go swimming because we were so busy shopping we would like go to the hotel at like 11 or so, and the swimming pool hours is like from 6am to 10 pm. I was going to swim in the morning the day we were going to leave but then I was to sleepy or something or I didn't feel like swimminf because ...i don't know why.

There is some other stuff that happened but then I don't know if i want to put it in my blog. Well maybe I will but then you will have to ask me when ever. :D But then yeah I have nothing to say now. Or maybe I can talk about it, I don't know. Maybe I will maybe I won't, Who Knows. It's not bad though, but I don't know if it is or not. Maybe you will have to beg me to get it out of my mouth or something. My sister, my brother, my cousin, and my mom knows about it, well because my sister told my mom when we came back from Anchorage :P. It was kind of funny but then I don't know, well maybe. Well I guess I will write it sometime in the future but then I don't know. Maybe soon, or when ever I feel like writing it. I just needed to stall for the time to pass or write something before next class starts. So yeah maybe some other time when people ask what it is, thats if they really want to know. I mean like really really want to know what, well I don't know. Ok I'm going to stop right here and continues this on another one, it's almost time for the other class so later and peace.

Couple days ago or a week ago, my brother and I just crashed. Maybe it was on the 23rd of December. It was at night when we were getting smoked dried white fish for our Uncle. It was when we were coming back from the Fish camp, My brother was driving and he tried to slide on the ice while it was snowy and dark. There was Water Underneath the ice, but then we didn't know that. Right when we turned the snow-go tipped and we both flew off the snow, except that i had hit my head while i was flying across the ice. When i got up I heard Nick say which is m bro, say "Are you Ok?" I go "Yah, you ok?" he goes "Yeah", he got up at tried to put the snow-go back up. When i got up my limped and my right knee started to hurt, but then all I got was a Bruise. My neck started to hurt the next day. I asked Nick if he got a briuse anywhere, but then all he said was his hips were hurting or something like that. Every time I turn my head or lay down my neck starts to hurt. From this day it kind of hurts but not that much, and I don't know about Nick, I have to ask him. Well I guess that is it for me now. Later, and Peace.

My early memories

I remember couple things of when i was a young girl, some of then were really stupid of me. What can I say I was real young. But some parts of my memories were like whoa i can remember that, just right now i just remember that i got a hair cut when i was about maybe like 8 or 9 some where around there. It was really weird, I even remember couple of things when my mom used to take pictures of us, even with my gram, also remembering playing with matches and getting into trouble that was the stupidest i have ever done, and being at a hospital up in Anchorage i think. I don't know if it was my dreams or was my early memories.

So yea those are the early memories i have about when i was a little girl or something like that. Well anyways going back to where i wanted to cut my hair really short. It was really crazy i remember that i wanted to cut my hair and be like Nicole i think can't remember. But then right when my mom was dine cutting them couple minutes later i think i started crying and saying that i wanted my hair back. People kept saying to me that it would grow back but i think i was stilling crying. I don't thats all i remember, But now when i get my hair cut or trimmed i don't mind but sometimes i do when i don't feel like cutting my hair or when someone says i need my hair trimmed i be like ok.

I even remember going to a house and being fed by my auntie, I even remember sleeping over at my grams when she was alive. Even when i was sleeping over at a school night when i woke up i was crying in my sleep and my gram was sitting there and looking at me and wondering what was i dreaming of.

I remember that i was crying in the old house and looking out the window and seeing that they were building our new house, but then i don't know why i was crying it was like why was i crying even if i was looking out the window. Even when we didn't have a basketball court and it used to be bye the river next to Christina and Erin's house. I was crying on that and i don't remember why i was crying there to, but then the next day my voice was bad and i told my friend and she said that it was because i was crying yesterday and thats all.

Even when i used to bully my auntie or ask for stuff i was so stupid i didn't know what i was doing. Some days i wish i hadn't done stuff that i did back then, because i don't like them, i don't like looking back at the bad things i did when i was young they are to stupid.

This was when Issa girl and i weren't friends, and Jessica and i were. we would hang out and she would sometimes tell me lies and this was when My older sister and her friends used to not hang out with Jessica or something like that can't remember to long. Well anyway, when i was young i would Play with Jessica and we were best friends and i think we still are i don't know but yea. We did crazy stuff that i remember like when we took Issa's sunglasses and it was really stupid. We hid at an old house but then they found use and told us to be more nice.

I guess thats all my memories I have, once i remember some I will let you people know.
Laterz Peace

Visited this past summer of 08

This summer my family, including my gram and my aunt from my dads side went to visit Kasligluk. It was really fun and the longest visit we ever visited to another place. I thought we wouldn't visit anywhere during the summer but i guess i was wrong. It was fun anyways, get to see our Ilaqs and friends, it was so awesome but really hot. Hung out with friends and all that, played ball and went four wheel riding It was so much fun that i wanted to stay there. I wanted to stay there until school started or something like that but then at the same time i didn't want to.

I finally got to see my name sakes mom and sisters and we also get to walk around the village and see some of our friends that lived there. But it was really hot and i was using all black i think. I even got to see the people that went to Talent Search and it was really weird to see then again and like it was really embarrassing but then some of them didn't recognized me until they saw my sweater i used during Talent Search. It was really funny and yea.

I want to go back to Kasigluk i had so much fun over there but when all the fun ends you just hate to go home don't you. I know how you feel, i think, if not then I don't know. Oh yea we even played naught it with couple kids from over there, it was very spectacular. Then when we got bored me and Bunna went for a walk and Our friend Gabby took us for a four wheeler ride it was awesome, then a couple people went for a four wheel ride when we went to a pond or something like that.

My sister dared me to wave at that one guy that i knew from Talent Search but then i didn't want to because i was very taqarnaq i think thats how u spell it. But when we were done riding around we played naught it again and this time we stopped and chatted for a little bit and yea. It was really awesome when we went riding, but then we went the other way where the four wheels weren't going. Gabby said that maybe they will be thinking why are we going the opposite direction or something like that.

Well after my mom, dad, my gram, and my auntie were done visiting we went home and i didn't want to leave i don't know about the rest of my brothers and sisters, maybe they didn't want to leave too. I guess thats it for the day, Peace have a good day.

Three days ago i just learned how to cut beaver. It was really fun to cut one and i cut another one just yesterday. I even took some picture to show how i learned to cut a beaver. Other may have learned it differently but i learned it the way my family does it or how ever that is. Well anyways here we go.

1. Cut all the feet and hands off before you start cutting the beaver. only cut them underneath the feet and hands not all the way by the body or something like that. It will look like a chicken once you take the feet and hands off.

2.Then after all the legs have been cut. Very slightly the middle of the the body. From the bottom but you want to cut around the where it pees to the top of the body and stop near the mouth. but you don't want to cut all the way to the guts.

3.After that you take the fur off, you want to make sure that you don't tear the inside of the fur.

4.Now that you have cut the fur off, you cut the middle and take the guts out and put it in the dog food.

5. Cut out all the legs and arms off, the body and the ribs will be left even the hips.

6. Cut the side of the stomach like in the picture it would turn out like that. Oh yea put the meat you cit out in the dog food also.

7.Then you cut all the parts of the body into parts, all you have to do is follow the joints. as you see below. Like cut out the ribs from the back bone and cut the back bone into chunks.

8. some parts of the ribs you take off like the top part of it. Then you cut then ribs into how many parts only when it's small and when the beaver is a big one then you cut it rib by rib.

9. You put the hands and feet in a trash bag and the fur but most people hang them to dry.
10. Last but not least put then in a ziplock to put in the freezer to keep for foods. All the body parts that you cut up step 7. Oh yea fill the bag half way to the top.
If you have any questions comment and i think i will answer them if not then I'll ask my mom. Or someone else. Or i don't know. Oh yea and thats how i got to learn to cut a beaver, and my mom taught me how. Hehe.
