unique and sacred work of art created by god

Parents give the gift of the body

but God creates the soul that gives life to a person.

Parents gave me the gift of the body and God sent a soul that gives life.
The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. Genesis 2:7

Last day of Technicraft!
On the last day of tech, our class had to construct a game or an animation within the platform known as scratch. This platform allows people to do stuff such as animations, games and quizzes. Scratch is a site with thousands of users filled with creative and clever people.
If you are intrigued by this child-friendly site and want to explore and experience it for yourself. Here is the link: Scratch.
People inside our room were coding and a person by the name of Glen recently created a 2nd person shooter zombie game. The game contained materials and images from a game known as SAS 4. Another scratch user by the name of Eugene has managed to create a 2nd person shooter that is related to viruses/disease and what they do to your bodily functions. If you want more details for Eugene's game, go to this blog (Game).
John, Shivay and Cameron produced a scary maze game which is a remaster of the original one found on youtube. I remixed and modified a popular game known as galaxy attacker to a more appropriate and friendly atmosphere.

Kappa Pride - The Juggernaut!
Long ago, behind the gigantic radiant tree. There was a clan that wore genuine masks. They are amazingly skilled at using their swords/katanas. They practice and duel each other each everyday. A strong and fearsome warrior from the clan, known as the juggernaut was a young strong leader who led their village to safety 50 years ago. An angel like courier flew up to juggernaut and notified him to go to Keeper of the light because there was an urgent news that was crucial for his village’s safety. Juggernaut fled from the village and went on his way to the heaven’s gate.
Keeper of the light was an old man who rode a white horse and was equipped with a staff rumoured to be given by God himself. The juggernaut asked him, “What’s the news?”. Keeper of the light responded, “Abbadon, the destroyer of villages is heading for your village and will cause havoc.” Juggernaut ran back to his village as fast as he can without hesitation.
Once he arrived in his village, he spotted fire all over their huts, frozen clan members and blood everywhere. Juggernaut was furious, he will seek revenge to Abbadon. But he realised that his clan is on the brink of extinction, so he decided to be prepared before going out and kill Abbadon once and for all.
The noble warrior went to their closest allies’ village. He arrived there as fast as he could. Upon arrival, he saw destruction and houses trembling down and his best friend wounded and bleeding to death. His best friend said, “Avenge me and our village.” Juggernaut cried and raged even more. Juggernaut asked his best friend, “Go find omniknight, he’s abbadon’s former foe. He should have enough knowledge of Abaddon's weaknesses.” He replied, “But where can I find this omniknight?” His friend pointed on a mountain that had an ancient cave vibe on it.
The vengeful warrior packed his items and went on his way to the 100-kilometre walk. The juggernaut had walked over lots of different terrains, from snow to dry land. He fought lots of opponent along the way. Like a gigantic boar, satyr, a centaur and more. He finally arrived at the stairs of the mountain. The height of the mountain is higher than Mt Everest. The juggernaut was exhausted but he persevered. When he arrived on top of the mountain he saw a young blonde man meditating inside the cave.
The Juggernaut asked him, “Are you omniknight? The former enemy of the Abaddon?” The young man replied, “Yes, I am omniknight and who are you?” The warrior took his sword and sliced the small rocks in a blink of an eye. Omniknight said, “Ahhh Juggernaut I’ve heard many stories of you, what do you seek from me?” He answered, “Does Abaddon the destroyer of villages have certain weaknesses and what is his spells?” Omniknight placed his hands below his chin and started wondering. He said, “Abaddon has a spell that creates a shield for himself that absorbs the damage and then will reflect the damage given to him back to his foe.”
“But then, how do I avoid it?” replied Juggernaut. Omniknight took his hammer and then smashed a giant rock. A glimpse of light and running water was in sight.
Behind the rock was a wonderful place to live in. It contained freshly grown plants. Some angelic like creatures and a lot of light. Behind the waterfall was a tablet that contained ancient words that only Omniknight can understand. The young warrior red out the important details of how to defeat that wretched monster. He said, “The only way to get over that shield is to avoid attacking him and wait for the shield to wear off.” Juggernaut answered Omniknight’s question, “Is that the only ability he has to offer?” “There is an ability that he uses when he starts losing the battle,” says Omniknight. “What is it?” said the determined warrior. The omniknight has a serious face and punched the rock. “I almost destroyed him once and for all; but a blue foggy smoke came from his back and once I attacked him, he was regenerating and his wound healed. I attacked from behind but his severe wounds started healing up even more.” The omniknight didn’t want to talk about it. Omniknight advised Juggernaut to watch at the smoke and avoid hitting him at all cost. The Juggernaut left the cave. But he was told that he had to go through the dire base. Abaddon would be sitting on his throne and giving orders to his slaves.

Green House Gas affects economy!
Have you ever wondered how greenhouse affect a country's’ economy? If so read more!
As you know, the main news in local newspapers or on the television, greenhouse gases causes global warming which can lead to horrifying consequences. From higher sea levels, confusing temperatures in water and land dehydration, but did you know that global warming drastically affects economy which may cause poverty and hunger for already struggling countries and this is how.
Global warming melts the ice caps of the Arctic leaking cold and frosty waters onto the equator or the tropic regions damaging the biological sea life found in the ocean due to the immense temperature change. Killing fishes which disrupt the food chain that can lead to dire outcomes. No fish to sell and export, thus ruining sea life dependent countries’ economy.
Higher sea levels mean lesser land, sinking isolated islands in the process. Lessening the land space drastically may affect tourism that can devastate countries that require tourism for their nation to grow.
The hotter temperature, the more delay the crops growing due to the dehydration of the land. Preventing them from selling their native fruit to more wealthy countries, this will ravage exportation dependent countries’ wealth.
Now you know the effects of global warming, from slowing down progress for some struggling countries to ruining their economy. Greenhouse gas is a grim process which leads people to poverty.

Birthday Party!
The wind was roaring with fierce, spewing blistering cold wind to our
vulnerable exterior a.k.a skin. The welkin was darker than a silhouette painting, making the road nearly impossible to see with the naked eye. The destination to the party with my family and cousins was more tedious than observing grass mature. After what seemed to be an eternity we finally arrived in Silverdale and entered their birthday house shortly afterwards.
Once everyone made their way to the party, we hastily commenced prayer because we were all so famished from the long trip. Once we started on munching and crunching our food which includes a variety of sweet, sour, salty and spicy. The prime meal was lechon (Stuffed Pigged) aside it were sisig (Pig’s Head), pancit, (Noodles) and for dessert waffles and kutsinta (Muffins).
We made our way to the living room and idled inside spacious finite room continuously watching high quantities youtube videos, using the television. The enigma of a person that we have never knew about started playing slime themed asmr (Autonomous sensory meridian response) videos. These types of film is about people touching slime to create a tingling sensation in the spine or in the brain. But we never felt the sensation, so we skipped and swap videos into Korean K-pop and left it for 7 more recordings on the same topic. The party goers was starting to get annoyed so cousin John played Skrillex a popular musical artist that specialises on the music subject known as dubstep. The music was giving an alien like vibes. Each note was better than the last, though there were barely any lyrics.
The dead of the night is getting late and darker, we decided to watch some good’ol classical Charlie Chaplin for old time sakes. A comedy boxing match might just do the thing, The short film was legendary! My family which includes me called it a night and rode a car back home.
