It's the holiday to share the time with your family. It's the time to sit at the dinner table and enjoy a big feast to reflect back to those we all care about. Everyone, I wish you all a

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hopefully you don't eat too much. :) Leave some leftovers for you to eat the next few days! :D

EDIT:

To conclude, it was the best birthday I've ever had this year. Thank you all. To my friends, and to my family.

NOV. 19th:

Hurray! Today, November 19th, is my birthday! I feel older already! :P But I'll always be a kid at heart (play video games, watch cartoons, misbehave). A lot has happened this past week. The family has been very generous, as well as my friends and other people. I've gotten so many early presents!

And I also opened up a contest to give away one of the T-shirts I got, go to http://heatblast.net/contest.

EDIT 1: Today's the day of the Nintendo Wii release! Wow! Hope people will get one of those. It seems to be a better competitor than the Playstation 3.

EDIT 2: More money! :D

EDIT 3: Went out to eat. I'm so full I can't eat anymore....

EDIT 4: Mom bought two cakes! That's a lot. :P

Some are:

AS A GAMER:

- Gears of War for the XBOX 360 limited edition, with the Gears of War Limited Edition guide. I also got the faceplate and stuff. I also got a couple other accessories for my 360 like the Xbox 360 Live Vision Camera and the HD-DVD Drive.

AS A BEN 10 FAN:

- A whole batch of Ben 10 collectables, and so far, the newest I've received to add in my collection are quite rare. Some of them are: 4 feet Cartoon Network promotional banner, Ben Tennyson, Vilgax, Hoverboard, and Cannonbolt figures, Hyperscan cards, more alien rocks (I love putting them into the water! :)), Ben 10 T-shirts (one of them became 2 of the same by mistake :P).

AS A COMPUTER GEEK:

- New software I can work with, a new graphics card, programming books. I also got some new equipment to use for the website.

AS FOR EVERYTHING ELSE:

- A couple of HD-DVD's, some decent clothes, music from both CD's and online, an easy week at school :P. And yes, money, money, money. And how can I forget about the respect and kindness everyone exchanges with each other? :)

With the Ben 10 exclusive online, I could never be much happier. Parents bought me more presents, money, and an extremely easy week at school.

I'm starting to believe that this might be my version of an early "Sweet 16." :P

Hope this Sunday turns to be the best day of the year ever!

As November 19 comes closer, I've been getting lots of early gifts and recognition within the family, as well as friends this past Veteran's weekend. It's been a great month so far! :D

Just a question: Is the number 16 a lucky number?

Another silly question: Isn't "Sweet 16" referred to teenage girls only? :P

Either way, this birthday seems to be the best yet!

Four days of tests in a row! Hope I can survive the next few days before the holiday weekend. Wish me luck!

~Aru

Nothing really, but I'm having a really good weekend so far. No homework, no school work, no chores. Much of it was done during the week. Some people gave me early birthday presents (yay!) and that was kind of them.

I noticed that I became a trusted contributor for Mr. Sam Register (also yay!), after the editor recently retired from his position.

There is also a new icon:

Nice to see that there is an icon that specifies you posted using the news system.

Good start of November so far! Hope to see that it continues that way.

All right, November is here and ready to start kicking in the holidays! Hope everyone had a great Halloween, and remember to take care of any cavities! :P

~ Aru

My family, my friends, and everyone. I wish you all a Happy Halloween! Hope it is a good one! ^___^

Don't forget! This is just a small reminder for those who are currently in observation in the USA. Daylight savings time ended Sunday morning at 2 AM (10/29/06). Set your clocks back one hour.

I had a REALLY rough week.... read pages da da da in your history book and answer this da da da. For chemistry, take notes on Chapter da da da, and study for the upcoming test on Friday da da da. You need to make up your quiz on this da da da, and you have to do an oral test on that da da da.

It was like a musical, da da da this, da da da that, do de do dum ta ta ta. :) (Just joking)

Quite frustrating... I had six quizzes to make up, 20 pages of homework to do, and 2 projects to turn in. Fortunately, I was able to catch up to where the present curriculum stands, but the bad news is I still have two more projects this weekend...

Ah well, thank Franklin for Daylight Savings! :)
