WIKI wiki WIKI wiki WORLD

Do you guys know what a wiki is? It's kind of like a word document only it's on the web, and anyone can change or read it any time. I'm doing a wiki with someone in Texas and I've been talking to him a lot but for the past two weeks he hasn't changed anything on our wiki. He hasn't even been emailing me at all because his school sometimes won't let people view wiki's with YouTube clips on it unless they're at home so I wonder why he hasn't taken the time to read and edit it but I will be patient. So far, by myself I have been working on the Introduction and the Entertainment paragraphs the most whilst keeping track of the sources I use for my videos and so far, picture. I hope that this problem can be resolved in my partner's school so we can work together soon.

Hey, my name is Erin. I'm a Canadian girl who loves hanging out with friends. I also like to listen to music and use my bike, scooter (no engine) and roller blades. I can't decide on my favourite song but they're all in different albums. They are around the genres of pop, rock, rap, and songs that I like to draw, paint etc. and my favourite sports would have to be soccer, swimming, basketball, and I really like to watch ice-hockey during the winter season! I have one dad, one mom, and no siblings. So far, I've been to three schools including the one I'm at now but I travel a lot. I've been traveling ever since I was about ten months old! I really like anime (Japanese animations) but I'm not an anime freak like that girl on American Idol. My birthday is in June so my birthday hasn't passed yet. I'm pretty tall in my family, I'm average height for my age group, but I'm pretty short in the school compared to people in my classes. My favourite soda/pop/soft drink would definitely be Mountain Dew. I can't wait to be working with people from Texas!

Mah Winter (But Summer) Holiday!


My holiday was really busy!!! My family and I went to Hong Kong, Sipadan, Mabul, Kapalai, and Kota Kinabalu this year! Whew! Plus there was also my mom's friend's wedding. It was fun decorating because when we went to get the ribbons, the store was closed so we had to cut red material instead! It hurt having to keep your hands in one place all the time! Anyways, let's backtrack to the beginning in Hong Kong. Well, the worst part was the first day at Hong Kong. We were supposed to meet the bride, the groom, and the groom's son (not related to the bride) in about three hours but I got so hungry, that when my mom was eating a granola bar, I didn't bother to check the ingredients on what it's made out of and I tried it, it tasted really good, and I had a stomach ache for five hours until I took a nap! Ugh, it was NOT fun.
A week later, all of us (my family(my mom, dad, me), & the bride's family) went to Kota Kinabalu to meet my family and to have Christmas Celebrations! It was so cool because on Christmas eve, the groom's son and I tried to make a Gingerbread house but the icing wasn't cut properly so the whole thing turned into an epic fail! :( No joke. But at least the gingerbread tasted good! :) Then we started having people dancing and I kept trying to do loads of cartwheels and semi handstands everywhere and my skirt didn't flip! Plus I made a new friend. Her name was the same as one of my best friend's friend's name! and she was one year younger than me! But she was a lot taller than me and she looked like she was actually one year older than me!
So same thing; a week later, we went to Tawau. Then we took a half-hour boat ride to Mabul so we could go Sipadan a few days after. The whole reason why we went there was for the wedding and also snorkeling in Sipadan so on the first day, I went snorkeling at Kapalai just to get used to using a snorkel again. It was pretty shallow. Not like at Sipadan where there's the drop-off! You can see just a little bit deep, then suddenly, it's like a black-out! At least that's how it looks like from where I was. But we saw Jackfish, Barracudas, and something that's called a Napoleon Wrasse and it's seriously huge! Moving on to the wedding, it was a huge success and the hotel we stayed at was a huge help! They made it one very special night for those two! From Tawau we flew straight home and we had a lot of fun! Like going swimming in my apartment, and shopping with my four year-old niece! She is so cute!!! So this so called Winter holiday, can be just as fun with/without snow! :D

FLASH!

What is flash? Well, if you think it's the kind of flash from a camera, you're wrong. Can't think of anything else? It's actually an animation created from Adobe Flash (R)My partner, Juanita, and I tried to use as an example it but we failed miserably...Anyways, to use flash, you have to have to download a software otherwise it won't be in your computer/laptop. Juanita and I think that before flash, there were movies and pictures but now that I've actually presented and everything, I think that before flash there were "gif" files. "Gif" files are pictures that move but once they are finished, they are set in stone and you can't change them but flash files you can change them however you like and you can make special modifications and you can make it do something when you want it to, how you want it to. What came after we half guessed, half already knew because it's already been created. What we think came next is hologram that moves and does what you want. A way to show this has already happened, is to watch this link. Click here. And here's an example of a GIF file Click Here. Cool huh? but that's not nearly as close as what COULD happen if you had used a flash file!
