I have a really good plan for something I would like to build in Minecraft. I am going to build a castle! Now, I have seen a lot of people build castles on YouTube and I have taken inspiration from them. I think it won’t be too big but also not really small. What I want is a tower in the middle and a weird shape for the land inside of the castle. I’ll make the villagers roam free around the inside and include stalls, a horse pen, a palace, a village and a few more things. Some of the stalls would probably include, gear, food and other necessities. The horse pen has got to be big if we’re gonna have many people living here. I’m thinking all the houses are very decorated and have people living in them. The palace must be grand. I don’t want just stone and wood for this part of the castle so I think I might build it in more rich blocks. I also might include some automatic farms! Right now I’m thinking of an iron farm but I might include a bee farm or crop farm. I think that I’ll also be asking for ideas from my family when I build this thing. I have a big plan for this so I hope it turns out like I want it to!

These days Grace and Dad are in San Francisco visiting my Grandpa. My Dad and Grace left on January 31st.  Grace is there for a week while my dad is there for two weeks. That means that it’s going to be Gloria, my Mom and I for this week. When Grace comes home it will be one of the days that my class goes skating. I’m not excited for that at all. But once Grace comes back she can go back to the classes that need her help for teaching art. She has to help my last year teacher class on Friday morning and comes to my class after lunch on Friday.

Hi! I’m here to tell you all about what I’ve been doing ever since New Years. At school Grace is teaching us again but she also has a really big plan that I can’t really share (mainly because I didn’t make it and I don’t know what ALL the details are). We also had a big New Years dinner with my moms friend and my grandpas friend. My mother’s friend brought a guy with her who isn’t worth my brain energy to talk about. We also folded and ate dumplings with our neighbors and I played some games with one of them.

Happy New Year to you. Even though its like January second now. I had  three New Years resolutions this year. The first one was to write more in my diary, find a hobby and like I like to say, “New Year! New teeth!” I have to lose the rest of my baby teeth soon because if I don’t I’ll have them pulled out by the dentist. I’m also in a big need of a hobby because sometimes if I get bored I have nothing to do AND I don’t want to do work. It does allow me to do something I like besides gaming. Speaking of gaming I got second place in a three versus three Diamond Rocket League Tournament.

Merry Christmas! Today is Christmas and I got the thing I wanted: Veggie Straws! Anyway when we opened our presents I got a Minecraft Lego set, a Geronimo Stilton Kingdom of Fantasy book, a sweater, a Minecraft shirt, a new pair of shoes, and a drone (that says 14plus on it). We also went to midnight mass yesterday and when we came home I went straight to the shower. I managed to stay up to see what my sisters and I got in out stockings. I got googly eyes and some panda stickers. I really like googly eyes and putting them on random things. It’s quite funny. My sisters and I got Just Dance 2023 from our parents and I want to play it soon. We have a lot of those games and they are really fun with my sisters.

Do YOU need anything in your life? or perhaps want? I mean like an item or thing that you need to survive. For example, essentials, like life essentials. Some life essentials are water, food, shelter and people. Then there are wants. Maybe you want things for entertainment or something that looks cool. With nothing to do you may be bored out of your mind. That’s why in my opinion we also need our wants in life. Not all of them but some to keep life interesting and to keep yourself from doing something you might regret in the future. I hope you all knew this before you read this.

“WEEEEeeeee…” cried JORGE.

In the world I got a lot of iron and coal from the mountains. I also made a garden for my grandparents that passed away (not the ones that are living yet). The garden has flowers and a maze. I think I just finished the expansion to the maze. At the end of the maze a made a throne with a secret at the back. The secret is just a diamond sword that is enchanted and not used. It’s called reward. I know, great name for a sword. I think I should put flowers in the maze. I showed my parents it and they like it.

I started a new Minecraft world on my Minecraft account. It’s called “YEWAH WE BUILDIN” and in the beginning I was just building in creative mode but now I used cheats and commands to play in survival mode. I made a base in survival mode in a hole I created using TNT it creative mode. After I made a storage room and made a villager trading room to trade with villagers and I flattened the hole using dirt. After that I made a field of poppies because Remembrance day is coming up. I used Iron Golems and commands to get the poppies I needed to plant in the ground. I also want to do more mining in the world. I’ll update you about the world in the future!

My dad is renovating the basement. We (family) are working on it together. He is painting the walls because it needs a new look. Later we need to move everything on the carpet to the part that is done so we can change the carpet to the vinyl flooring. I don’t really want to help my dad do it on some days because I went to school and I’m exhausted. I was especially tired when I came home from the Terry Fox run at school. Sometimes it’s really boring helping my dad because he’s doing whatever needs to be done and you’re just sitting/walking there being hungry or bored. When he is painting and waiting for the things to dry we are not allowed to touch the wall or the paint will get on our clothes. Here’s a photo of me putting tape on the doorframe to prevent it from getting painted.
