Balsa Bridge Building Competition 2013

As a grade 11 physics student at Notre Dame, I am required to build a bridge made entirely out of balsa wood with a minimum span of 40cm, height of 5cm, maximum weight of 100g, and other numerous restrictions. The competition is to sustain the most weight pulling down on the bridge. My partner, Niko, and I hope that our bridge does well and beats the precious record of sustaining 220kg.

Post-speech cry fest. Note: I wanted to release this on August 19th (or whenever my last day of playing League was), but a lot of things came up recently (including the birth of my son), so I am finally sharing this with you guys. My intention was never to sound like a broken record player, but here is where the track finally ends. I am officially quitting/retiring (or however you want to phrase it) from League of Legends. It's time for me to move onto more important things in life. It only took me to have a child for me to quit for good, haha. It's been over 10 years of playing League together. 10 years ago we were silly teenaged-altar servers who saw each other every weekend and spent summers together. After every in person CC event, we seemed to always gravitate to logging onto our toasters and playing a few games of our "favourite" game, League of Legends. We used to log on everyday after highschool, too. We've gone from Skype to Raid call to Discord. From Sea...

November 26-28 p.1-135 Part One: Ashes          It turns out there really is a District 13. This is the new home of Katniss, Gale, and survivors from the bombing of District 12. Everyone in District 13 plans to overthrow the Capitol and rebel, except Katniss. In fact she's not quite sure what she should do and who she can trust. One known fact is that Katniss wants Peeta alive and safe, knowing he's being held hostage by the Capitol. Her character shows definite signs that she misses him. It excites me reading this final book of the series, as it still keeps the action going. Like all happy endings, I predict that somehow Katniss and Peeta will be with each other again. The star crossed lovers from District 12 will marry each other after a crazy series of events. November 29-30 p.137-261 Part Two: The Assault    In the beginning of Part Two, the rebels rescue Peeta. The only problem is Peeta is not his normal self because of "tracker...

 Wow, I can't believe that I haven't posted in my blog for over a year now. I want to take this time to apologize to all my fans... haha. Maybe one day. ~ Anyways, hi, hello, I'm still alive (thankfully). A lot has happened since that last time I wrote in my blog. The COVID-19 Pandemic, Kobe Bryant's death, Apu Fely's death, finally moving on from my childhood friends, becoming a teacher, being offered a Teaching Assistant position at UBC, gaining 20lbs of mainly muscle, etc.  Oh, and my birthday was yesterday. I turned 24.  Creo que mi español ha mejorado también :) Ahora estoy aprendiendo francés y un poco de tagalo. I really do want to write here more frequently. I want it to become a habit. Let's make it happen.  That being said, one of my goals for 2021 is to create a personal website, and it would link to this blog. The website would be something like an online portfolio, linking to my LinkedIn, YouTube, blog, and other online medias. But anyways, sticking...
