Introducing Leo's ONCE UPON A TIME Experience

Introducing Leo's ONCE UPON A TIME Experience
  • Once Upon A Time is an ABC Channel Original series which is basically like a collage of all fairy tale stories like: Cinderella, Snow White, Rapunzel, Mulan, Sleeping Beauty and most recently The Snow Queen (FROZEN). This school year I’m planning to give this blog a twist for a while. Now instead of being “Leo’s Day By Day Experience”, this will now be “Leo’s Once Upon A Time Experience”.
  • Every week I’ll be posting reviews and hypothesis about each Once Upon A Time’s episode for this Season. What I find so exciting about this season is the fact that they involved FROZEN. I don’t really know if it’s the excitement of actually having FROZEN in the series, or the fact that this season is much more exciting in the aspect of Drama and that entire sort. I quite love the roll that The Snow Queen plays because she’s kind of a silent/creepy villain which is quite attractive, to my personal opinion.
  • The plan that The Snow Queen is trying to accomplish is really somewhat creepy, I mean who would have a sick and twisted mind to actually kill most of a town to make a perfect family; take that for twisted. 
  • This week I’ll make a review about the first and second episode for this 4th Season. I truthfully recommend this series, it’s really awesome in all aspects, I mean once you think you know what the character’s story is, you watch one of Once Upon A Time’s episodes, and you could really get surprised on watching how the series twists the stories and connects characters with each other.

Chemistry

Chemistry Demonstration Class

This week and last week we've been taught by our teacher Mr. Popoff, all about crystallization, saturated solutions, unsaturated solutions,Henry law and many more i’ll soon be defining and describing. Last week we were asked to bring a Coca Cola® can to class, we were not told why, we were just asked to bring them.  This Monday we had our Chemistry class, the class was basically like a demonstration on what crystallization really is, crystallization is the formation of solid crystals precipitating from a solution,melt or more rarely deposited directly from a gas. In our latest chemistry class we had Laboratory project that taught us how to make crystallization happen with destilated water and ammonium chloride, basically this was done in a test tube with certain amount of ammonium chloride, destilated water in it, heat bathed on a beaker full of water.
We also were explained on what a solution equilibrium is, which is when the concentration of the solute is the same throughout a system. We also were demonstrated physically what a saturated and an unsaturated  solution looks like; Saturated solution are solutions which the maximum amount of solvent have been dissolved. Any more solute added will sit as crystals on the bottom of the test tube or container, and unsaturated solution are solutions in which the solute concentration is lower than its equilibrium solubility. We were also cleverly explained what a Super saturated solution is, its basically a solution where there are more particles or solutes than solvent in a solution.

The coke experiment was actually really cool. We had about seven or less coke cans, ones were room temperature and ones were icy cold, we were trying to see which one of those based on their temperature, would burst more, it turned out to be the icy cold cans.

THE SAI EXPERIENCE: PART 3


THE SAI EXPERIENCE: PART 3

December, Christmas day, I felt so excited because I saw a box with the shape and size of the sai, I just couldn’t wait to open it, sadly we usually take turns to open the presents; I was the last one sadly. When I opened them, nothing could make me happier that moment, I just wanted to hold them forever, that same second my parents told, “hey, be very careful with those, they are extremely sharp, watch out” I just told them that everything was fine, I could handle them.



Weeks after, I started to practice using these new sai, the first time I spun them, I did it perfectly, the second time, well, the flew off my hands, what a disaster! The sai that fell to the floor fell from the sharp end to the floor, so It wasn’t sharp anymore. Later on I got a new pair of sai, these were also Elektra sai, only these were wrapped in some wicker string, these were exactly like the ones on the film.


This is my current sai collection

THE SAI EXPERIENCE: PART 2

THE SAI EXPERIENCE: PART 2

During the learning stage, I found out that the sai I had order online, were about 15 inches long; not really what I wanted, but oh well. The learning stage was kind of difficult for me because I had no instructor to guide me, just the video and common sense. At first the sai kept falling off my hands or they flew off my hands. Once, one of my hand nails got hurt because the sai fell over it, my nail got purple and it hurt all day.

  

After all the basic learning processes ended, I realized that the pair of sai I had were not really enough for me, so I researched for more of them, and I found out that I could own a pair of the ELEKTRA™ Marvel film sai. I lashed with excitement when I found out! I had an advantage point to, the holidays were near, and so I asked for a pair. I was so excited and nervous at the same time because I didn't know if I would get them or not. These were very expensive because these were a pair out of 2000 made, so of course they had to be over valued.

THE SAI EXPERIENCE: PART 1




THE SAI EXPERIENCE: PART 1

Sai, they are Japanese weapons, which are knife and sword-like weapons. The longest Sai are 20 inches long, these are lethal weapons they were usually used only for killing. The Sai has three blades, one in the middle and one on each side of the middle blade.

 


For years I have admired these weapons, because they look so elegant and beautiful, also because they are really cool. About nine months ago, I finally had the opportunity to own a pair of Sai. At first I thought they were pretty heavy, but after a while they seemed light weight because I got use to them quickly enough. Later that week I got them, I researched the net for Sai lessons, I found a lot of tricks that could be performed with said weapon. I must say, I had quiet a lot of accidents.

Power Rangers Influence on My Life

Hello, have ever seen power rangers? Which ones did you see? Do you like them, love them or adore them? Well, I have seen Power Rangers and I saw all of them and I love them. I think in my life, power rangers was one of the biggest influences while I was growing up, I mean my brother and I use to pretend we were power rangers all the time, it was awesome! I think power rangers really gave me that sense of bravery and honesty I think i posses. Has power rangers influenced your life in some way? I bet it has, maybe in something very very small, but it has. My brother as been too influenced by the power rangers, he constantly bothers me and tells me that he is the white ranger, its so funny, obviously he's just kidding around but, he really likes power rangers, he even learned how to fight because he watched power rangers a little too much. To this point he is excited for a power rangers episode where all the power rangers in history will appear together for the first time. I'm also dying to see it!
