Name an animal and describe it in 500 words

A shark is an animal that resembles the power and strength of a beast with fearful abilities to sniff out a drop of blood from a mile away and know when you are in fear. Being in fear triggers the sharks senses to act aggressive and become in a attacking mode. When a person is in fear and panicked, then their heart will start to race, beating faster and faster. The beating of the heart can be heard underwater and the sensitivity of the sharks senses is a deadly skill.

There are many types of sharks in the world and most of them are animals capable of attacking a person by mistake or just out of curiosity. The sharks that are almost harmless to people are nurse sharks and reef sharks. Although most sharks have their own calm side, once they smell and taste the blood or meat of a carcass of a fish or anything considered as food, they will start to become aggressive. Once this happens, it is best to get out of the waters as quickly as possible before other sharks are attracted to the smell of blood and from the other sharks aggressive behavior.

It is like a chain reaction for sharks that go in packs, for example, the gray reef sharks. I have heard about these type of sharks from an experienced spearfisherman in the island of Saipan who told me that if you see a reef shark and it is in a group of three or four or more and they have their backs hunched up with their swimming behaviors changing a bit weird, it is best to get out of the water relaxed and calm without stirring up the waters too much.

I have had an encounter with a gray reef shark and a black tip shark that have come close enough for me to poke them with my speargun and they would not stop in doing so. This was about a month ago with my partner Kai Staal and Jake Van Dam. We were out spearing outside of the reef in Wing Beach. After about an hour and having caught a decent amount of fish, the gray reef shark about 6 feet long swam up to us (me especially because of the 8 pound trevalley that I just caught was spazzing out). The shark would not stop circling around until we finally left the vicinity of our hunting grounds.

For so long, sharks have been misunderstood by people all around the world who is only scared of what would happen on the negative side without considering the fact that most sharks are harmless and is only occurred that incidents of most sharks are made because people make the mistakes happen.

People who are scared of the water and sharks should really learn how to swim and get more comfortable around the waters in which we are surrounded in. This is something that will strengthen the mind and body of ones self accomplishing something of great importance in their life.

What do you want to do for Valentines Day?

For Valentines Day, I really want to spend time with the girl that I love; of course this is what almost all the people who are in love would say. Buying gifts for the special person and telling them how much you love them. Valentines Day is a day in which everyone around the world would do something for their loved ones.

Like I said, I would love to spend time with the girl that I love, take her out to the movies or take a stroll around Saipan at night. One thing that I really want to do though is to take her to banzai cliff at a clear night with no clouds that would hinder our plan to watch the stars. The first time I watched the stars at banzai cliff was with my senior classmates when we had gone there to chill and relax. The view was unbelievable and as soon as I laid my eyes on it, I fell in love with it instantly. As I watched the stars in the clear night sky with millions of stars, you could also feel the cool night breeze that blew constantly.

When someone suddenly spots a shooting star traveling across the night sky, they will have many things that run in their mind. Most people would make a wish and hope for it to come true, but when wishing something too superficial, it would be of a silly wish, which would show how he/she does not really believe in wishing amongst a shooting star. That night was an amazing encounter in which me and some of my friends have seen shooting stars. Once the time came for us to leave, I kept on telling them that I wanted to stay a little longer. Majority ruled and we had to leave.

I want to show the girl I love what I have felt that night, while feeling so relaxed and the mood is set perfectly for a romantic and beautiful night.

The catch in this is that the girl that I love is not here on Island. She is away in another land that I must keep to myself. Maybe someday in the future I will be able to have this romantic evening days with her as we live on the same Island, which will make it easier for us. Time is of the essence which in this situation makes it really important!

People may say what they want, but those words are just words of foolishness in which they can not control for their own jealousy and envy. A true friend will always support and encourage the other, however, once they use the words of blasphemy, what good is there to that friend? He/she is of no use but another obstacle to go through. I hope he understands later in life that words used in a joking manner may hurt that person and will rethink of ever meeting up with him ever again. He must realize the feelings of others and not only his own selfish being.

Everything happens for a reason and your behavior reflects the outcome of what you deserve. Each time you make a move, think before you act, it will really make a difference. Keep secrets that must be kept secret, even though it may be hard to keep it to yourself. Valentines Day is day of love and happiness, but also a day of heartbreak and sorrow. Act as you may want and do onto others as you want them to do onto you.

One book to take on a secluded Island, where reading is the only thing you can do

If I had to choose one book to read in a secluded Island with nothing else to do but read, it would have to be The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Although I have not read this book, I have heard a lot about its addictiveness in which you will not be able to stop reading, but wanting more of it. The novel is written by Stieg Larsson, who has also written the books The Girl who kicked the Hornet's Nest and The Girl who Played with Fire. The novel that I will be reading introduces Swedish geography with many locations of the countryside.

It is a great book that will give me the time and focus needed into reading it. When I was young, I loved to read books that were always interesting to my taste, who wouldn't right? And hearing from the people who have read it, it gives me a reason to read the book. With a bit of sexual violence and political corruption, there is an interesting theme that is hidden amongst all this mysterious and intriguing adventure.

Although I am not aware of the European controversies leading to the political issues, I have a hunch that it will be one of those books describing in detail of the geography and the family line in which the theme will be portrayed. Murder mystery, family saga, love story, and financial intrigue; these are the things that keeps the readers from being drifted off and losing interest in the book. Some books have an ending that most readers would want, but respectively there are a lot of other books that are not praised and recognized.

On an Island where I am isolated with nothing to do but read, this would be the book to read. As I read and fall into the rhythm in which catches my attention, it would be almost impossible to take me out of it. Once I am hooked on something, like any other human being that likes pleasure, I will be wanting to read more and more. I would want to get to that part in the story which I have been expecting for and once I have achieved that desire, there will be a continuing desire of will to read on and on because of the dose of addictiveness I have obtain from reading the previous part.

I would most definitely be so into the book that eating would also have to wait or be stalled by several minutes or even hours, depending on how much I am starving. A reader understands the feeling of this desire. When you read the book, it is like you are being filled with the words that you read, which makes you think and feel as if you are full. This can be done by anyone who is very into reading, mostly with what storyline they love.

If I had one million dollars and no one knew about it, i would....

If I had one million dollars and no one knew about it, I would wait until I am done with my highs school year and then I would pack up my stuff, take my girlfriend to Korea, where my sister's wedding will be held. I will buy my sister a beautiful necklace along with my brother in law a gold necklace. But of course before all this happens, I will take my girlfriend to a jewelry shop and buy her and myself a couple ring. I will take her to many places such as amusement parks and other romantic places. I will make her experience the best of feelings with joy and emotional loving. I want her to know that I care for her the most in the whole wide world.

Well of course this is something that everyone would want and would dream of. I will follow this tradition in which people may think and will fantasize about and make into reality. After staying in Korea for my sisters wedding, me and my girlfriend will move to Guam, where we will live a normal life and act as if nothing had happened with the riches of the money. Our plans to live with each other will have to come later when she does turn eighteen. And between those moments, we will wait patiently having the time of our lives. Couples may want to live with each other right away with their own houses, however, for us, we would love to wait until I get a permanent job, enough to support and live on my own without the help of my family.

I do not want the help of my family, but I am thankful for what they have done for me. I will repay them in return for all the things they have done for me. If they do not approve of my girlfriend and me then I really can't do anything about it, but to wait and wait for their approval. I must make them realize the importance in not only their own tradition and what they believe in but also the importance of their one and only son. They should realize that I am in the state of age where I can decide for myself in who I want to marry and live with. I sure may sound like an inconsiderate guy who wants may think of only himself and what he wants, but why don't you step in my shoes for a moment?

Love will change a persons heart and emotions from one place to another. Do you know what it feels like to love someone who you think and know for a fact that is the perfect person to be with? Apart from what my parents tell me, of how they can introduce me to beautiful Korean girls who are fresh out of college, smart and young. Well, let me ask you something. Will I be living in Korea? I know it will be hard to communicate if my lady does not know how to speak Korean, but it is not your decision to select who I should be with. I plan to live in Hawaii, but maybe before that plan even starts, I will be living in Guam for a while. This world has changed from many years where you had lived in and you must accept the fact that it is not a sin nor a wrongdoing to be with the woman I love.

My literary Hero

A literary hero that I choose is George Milton in “Of Mice and Men”. He is a tragic hero in which he has been living his entire life and has also been taking care of his best friend Lennie Small. Lennie's last name contributes to a contradictory statement in which shows that it does not really fit his physique. George is of short and stout, with a shortage of temper in which he could withstand. Both George and Lennie's dreams are to get a job and get enough money from it in order to buy a farm in which they could have chickens and rabbits, growing enough food for themselves to live. However, this has been their dream since a long time ago and they have had no luck in achieving it yet because of Lennie's misbehavior of getting into trouble while ranching and bucking in their previous jobs.

Lennie's reasons in getting into trouble is because he has a greater physique of normal men, but with a mental abilities of a child. He does not give any harm in purpose, but because of his curiosity in doing so.

George is a tragic hero in a strange way, because the heroic deed that he does in his life is that he kills his best friend. Why does killing your best friend make you a tragic hero you ask? This is because it is in the end for Lennie's own good. In doing so, George is preventing Lennie from getting into even more trouble. When George and Lennie has found a new ranch and as they do their job, they come into contact with the ranch's owner's son, a somewhat semi-pro boxer, named Curley. He does not like his wife interacting with men other than him and is in a deep anger because of his overprotective self. The wife takes an interest in Lennie and talks with him and then a disaster strikes when Lennie “accidentally” kills the wife in the barn. From this, an angry mob from the ranch is set out to kill Lennie.

When George kills his best friend, it also shows that George has realized his great flaw: living with Lennie without any help of his mental abilities. Along with this, he also kills his own dream of starting a farm. Without Lennie, it will not be possible to earn enough money for his dreams to come true. On the contrary, if George had no lived with Lennie his whole life, then he would have been able to save enough money until now in order to buy the farm. The biggest flaw for George is living with Lennie, which has made his life a struggle, and also prevents him from achieving what he wants.

3 things i want to do during summer

When summer hits, I will be blowing the streets with my friends having parties. Meeting up with my friends and playing some pool, then after the pool, we'll drive around and think of some other things that we could do. There are many things that we would like to do, such as renting a hotel room and being silly like we always are. Samson never gets tired of giving us that feeling of weird, yet joyful moment that would mark the memories of our friendship throughout the last years of our high school year. I wouldn't mind saying this, however, as being guys and all, a celebration must come along with the graduations of the senior class of 2011! We will buy some beverages that may or may not be alcoholic and or soda's.

With parties that come along, a memorable barbeque is needed to end the afternoon's endings. After the barbeque and towards the incoming evenings day, we shall start the drinks with many more stuffs. Girls are always allowed to come, however, it also depends on who they are with their reputation amongst us guys.

After our party, I must leave to Korea for my sister's wedding. My family consists of my mother and father, 3 older sisters, and then me, the youngest and only boy. My youngest of the three sisters is the one who will be marrying this summer in June. I have invited my friend Woo Jeong Kim to follow me along to the wedding. This is the first time me and Woo Jeong will be meeting and going together to Korea. I am so stoked to be able to travel along to Korea with my best friend and to experience something special as a wedding. After the wedding, me and Woo Jeong will head out to play, such as go to karaoke, clubs, and PC room! I might also follow him to his hometown in Busan and the plan will go on from there.

After the wedding and staying over at Korea for a month, I will come back to Saipan and then fly over to Tinian to stay for a while with my parents. I will then, set out to Guam around mid July to start my days as a college student and move in with my sister who lives there.

Spearfishing- The Desire Within

Spearfishing is a wonderful sport that can be thought as both a workout and a hobby. It takes no more than having the courage and being comfortable amongst a vast array of underwater organisms that may or may not harm you. As long as you respect nature, in return, nature will return the favor with the same respect.

Ever since I was a little kid, I loved fishing and everything that had to deal with fish. My dad would take me often with him as his companion for night cliff fishing. I cannot tell you how much I fell in love with it. As I grew older, there were magazines of spearfishermen who would be surrounded with many fish and as they stalk their prey, their hard work in technique pays off in the end with the day's catch. Seeing this, the greatest thing I have always wanted to do was to swim in the vast ocean and be the one to experience this breath-taking wonder that not everyone has the chance to do.

The underwater environment that I have first encountered has tweaked me into loving the waters even more. The first time I have went out into deeper waters outside the reef I felt uncomfortable. I have always been afraid of the deep blue, especially after watching Jaws... whooo, I didn't think I would stand a chance out there. However, after several dives out in the waters and also coming into contact with reef sharks, I have come to accept and be a bit more calm underwater with the fish and organisms.

“It plagues you no matter how much you try in your everyday life. It never leaves you. It’s something that has been placed in the heart of men from the beginning of time. The drive to hunt, to brave the element and rise victorious. The dream is not just any hunt, but the perfect hunt. A trying environment and the challenging prey, prey that tests your very limits and brings you to the place where you desperately find yourself asking for its render. This is the dream, this is what the heart searches for, this is what leaves you with an unending thirst. And when you've found it, it only leaves you craving for more. The dream of the spearo is the deep blue, full with abundant and powerful fish, like the sailfish, barracuda, and wahoo.”
