The Goonies

A group of kids think of ways they can come up with money to save their houses from the rich people. The kids run upstairs in the attic to Mikey, the main boy's, dad's museum collection. While up there they find a real teasure map of the pirate Mikey's dad told stories about, One-eyed Willy. The kids go on a treasure hunt in hopes to find the treasure but they run into some criminals and booby traps along the way!

Main Characters:
                            Mikey - Sean Astin
                            Brand - Josh Brolin
                            Chunk - Jeff Cohen
                            Mouth - Corey Feldman
                            Andy - Kerri Green
                            Stef - Martha Plimpton
                            Data - Jonathon Ke Quan

The people who picked actors for the characters in this movie did a really good job. Everyone's characters were very believable and fit the parts perfectly.

The Goonies is a movie filled with laughter, terror and suspense! There are moments where you can't stop laughing, moments that you hide your eyes and moments that keep you on the edge of your seat!

I don't have a specific favorite part of this movie, anything with Chunk is my favorite part. He's thee cutest and funniest kid in the movie.

If you're looking for a good movie to watch, definitely consider The Goonies.  (:

Unusual Job-Paradise Island Caretaker

If you are employed as the Paradise Island Caretaker on Hamilton Island in the Great Barrier Reef your duties are:
                 - swim
                 - explore
                 - relax
                 - blog
The idea of this job is to do everything the resort has to offer and write a blog to promote the island and resort.

The salary of this job is definitely not minimum wage. The Paradise Island Caretaker is on a $111,000 six month contract!

Pros:
         - you are paid to have fun and relax
         - you live rent free in a three-bedroom villa with a pool
         - all your food and activities are free
Cons:
          - you don't get to be with your family or friends
          - if not use to heat you're more prone to heat stroke and sunburn

I would love to work as a paradise island caretaker. It would be good for me because  I love the heat and water and relaxing. The one thing that would be hard for me to do this job is being away from my family for six months.

Someone I Admire

From the time we were little girls me and my big cousin would always play together at Grandma Whitford's farm, making mud pies and going out looking for adventures in the woods. Or we'd go to the lake with the families and we'd run around and swim until we looked like prunes. We were always just like two peas in a pod, you never would have guessed there's a three year difference in age. Now that we are older, I'd come to realize that Michelle is someone I truly, deeply admire.
Life was never easy for Michelle. When she was just a little girl doctors found out that something was mentally wrong with her. Michelle had seizures so she underwent surgery and was put on medication. Things didn't get any worse for awhile, but then the most heartbreaking, unthinkable occurrence happened. Michelle's mother passed away. Her parents were divorced by then and Michelle lived with her mom and her sister and two brothers. After her mom's passing, Michelle had to move in with her dad and adapt to a whole new life without her mom. Now, she's eighteen years old and just had a brain surgery that could possibly change her life for the better. With this surgey it is possible that she can stop needing all the medication and be able to have the intellectual ability to make her own life choices. There is also the possibility that all her motor skills will stop functioning and she will be able to do nothing.
With everything that has happened in Michelle's life she is always cheerful and talkative. She thinks that everything happens for a reason and God has a plan for her. Michelle is one very strong girl and whatever struggles that come to her she fights back to beat them. You'd think that someone with a life like this would be the total opposite of happy, outgoing Michelle. It's for these reasons that I love, respect and admire her.

Australia is my dream destiation for many reasons! The weather there is gorgeous, the scenery is breath taking and there is many things to do and see... and I also love those accents! If I were to go to Australia i would be sure to go to the Great Barrier Reef to go snorkeling! Maybe I'd even try surfing on the coast. It would be so solid to be able to see all the creatures that live in the sea for my own eyes! I would also go on an outback adventure and be sure to see all their desert animals, like the kangaroo! I wouldn't mind seeing a koala bears, they're so cute.:)
