10 more days till Ramadan...
Ten more days until Ramadhan...
Sepuluh hari lagi sehingga Ramadan...
S took the plant from my container because her fish needed 'something to rest on' because of the opposite of dio*. And I can't take it back until we buy peas and cook them. *facepalm*
The next time we go to Petco, S says, she will buy a plant for herself and I can have the old one. And I can also buy my rainbow rocks.
Insha'Allah.

BREAKING NEWS: N and S now have Betta Fishes!
I'm telling you, this might be my second longest post yet. ~N~
From Reporter John Smith:
Today, at about 10 AM, after playing tennis, N's family went to some stores to buy things. They went to Petco and bought some fish. We have interviewed N, and this is what she says:
Well, actually, John Smith, I didn't really play tennis, I was the rollerblading ballgirl. And I also got damaged.
Today, after we were done playing tennis, we got into the van smellilly*. We went to the dirty, smelly store called Ross Dress for More. H needed new shoes and S needed jeans, it seemed. So she chose three jeans and went to the fitting room with me. All the jeans didn't fit me. *SOB*
We didn't buy anything there except a skirt for Mom. We wanted to go to Petco Supplies and Fish, so we did. We went to go look at the fishes, and there were like, HUGE cockroaches there. Then, we went to go see the betta fish, a.k.a. Siamese Fighting fish. WE GOT TO GET SOME! Mom told us we could buy a divider tank for both my and S' fish. I chose a reddish-pink Crowntail Male, and S chose an aqua-colored, constipated Doubletail Male. Yes, it was really constipated. H was acting like a real boss. I think he was a bit too excited.
I found these rainbow rocks that I really wanted. But, *SOB* I couldn't buy them, because H had some leftover rocks at home.
We bought the tank, food, and plant. I was supposed to buy it and S would pay me back, but instead my dad paid for it. Then we left the store, carefully holding our fishes. I was really scared that my fish would die, because one time, I was at a friend's house, and she had a pond at her back yard. We got a net and caught some fish and put it in a container. Then, I was carrying one of the containers with the fish in it, and by the time we got home, the fish was already dead, because I wiggled the container too much. *SOB* I think the fish was a minnow.
When we got home, we immediately set up the fish tank. We first opened the tank box, and we took everything out. I put the fishes on S's desk while H and S set everything up. They told me to go wash the gravel, and so I did, and I took years, and when I finally was done, S was like, "That took years." And H was like, "I know right?" Offensive, right? Well, I beautifully washed the gravel, but do you know what they said? They said, "YOU DIDN'T WASH IT PROPERLY, TUPA'!"
Okay, well they didn't actually yell, but you know.
S had this ungenius idea to put the gravel in a red plastic cup and wash it like that. So I did. And it was still 'not proper'. H was like, 'whatever'. He poured the gravel in my section of the divided tank, then the plant. S' part of the tank had rocks. Then we poured the fish in. S' was first. BLOOP! Then mine. BLEEP! Then, WOOHOO! We got our fishes! Oh yeah!
And so that is the story of our fishes. I did take pictures. I do not have a name for mine yet, but I suggested S name her fish Constable. You know, we separated our tanks because S' fish was El Constipato. S did some research and found out her fish was constipated, and found out it needed to eat cooked peas. LOL!

And that's all N says about getting her pet fish. Thank you for reading, and until then, please stay tuned. Thank you.

13 more days till Ramadan...
Today I went to the masjid for Maghrib. I couldn't pray, so I went to one of the classrooms and found some cherries and GREEN grapes in the fridge. Yum! Then, after Maghrib, we went to the store for some shopping. We went to K-Mart to get a notebook for my math. And while we were in there, H and I went to the entrance of the store and got some gumballs from the machines, and we tried to get the toys from the machine, but no such luck. Then we went to another store and the masjid. We met our friend there. Then we left. Bai...

BREAKING NEWS: N Finds Nasty Caterpillar
I'm telling you, this is my longest post yet. ~N~
From Reporter John Smith:
Today, at about 9:00 AM, N claims to have found a big, nasty, green and purple caterpillar. We have interviewed her and this is what she says:
Well, this morning while S and I were waiting for someone to pick us up to go to something, S saw something nasty crawling next to one of the pots in our front yard. I saw it too and we both ran screaming into the house.
"EEWWW!!! WE SAW A CATERPILLAR! IT WAS SO NASTY!"
"IT'S LIKE A CENTIMETER THICK!"
Then we carefully came back out again and looked at it. It was still there, crawling. I got a twig from the ground and tried to pick it up. But the caterpillar was too heavy and it squirmed nastily and fell off.
S went to go get a jar to put it in. I took it and tried to scoop up the crawling caterpillar. It squirmed and curled up. (Even its squirming was scary!) I finally got it in the jar, along with some rocks. Then we started to find a bigger container for the caterpillar. S finally found a Lychee Jelly container. It was a good size, maybe 7" by 5". We put in some rocks and leaves, and a stick.
Just then, the person came to pick us up. We put the jar and container next to the stairs, and our final message was, "No one touch it!"
*** (Two Hours Later...)
Well, when we came back at about 11 something, the first thing we thought about was.....the nasty catty! (I'll just call it that from now on, until I tell you its real name.)
H said he had searched up 'nasty green and purple caterpillars' and he got a result. He said the catty was a tomato hornworm. Well, no wonder it was in the garden! My tomato plant was on the wall.
S did some research and found out that the worm had to be in a container filled with dirt. So we took the lychee container and emptied all the rocks and sticks out. We filled it with potting mix and put some tomato plant leaves on top. Then we plopped the creepy worm in. (Yes, I will put up pictures!) We put the container on a high shelf in the sunroom. We did a bit more research and found out that the tomato hornworm had to be in a dark place, not exposed to the sun. So we covered the container with a cloth. The worm moved a bit, and later I found it burrowing in the dirt. When I told S, she said,"Oh! Really?! That's cool! That means it's gonna...uh.."
"Turn into a moth?" I finished.
"Yeah!"
So now, it's still there, at the bottom of the container. S said that sometimes they die from burrowing. OMG.
Research says they make great pets!
And that's all N says from her experience with a tomato hornworm. Thank you for reading, and until then, please stay tuned. Thank you.
