I used to have a blog on this blogging program called Squidoo. But then it went crazy and I had to transfer it all to Blogspot(now owned by Google.) Squidoo was fun. They even had countdowns and polls that you could add as posts. But with Google's Blogspot, there is only text, images, and videos.
So it all started one day when I got back from Turkey and tried to Publish new things but then a message appeared saying that publishing was disabled. It also said learn more at... Then a link. I clicked it. Here it is: http://hq.squidoo.com/squid-news/squidoo-and-hubpages/
It said that in a few weeks, Squidoo was being transfered to HubPages or whatever.
"This is great news, wonderful news, blah blah blah..." So basically I had to start all over again on all
my hard work.
But why start off with the same company that has just been sold to another company, when you can
start new? That's why I chose Google.
Here I will do everything the way I originally intended without it going all wrong.
And so I had to copy paste(ctrl+c/ctrl+v) everything here. Here's everything on my old blog that
I had got up to so far before the messages started to appear. If you want, you can read it one at a time and
out of order, or read the entire thing in order right here. By the way, none of the links actually work...

Happy Summer!
Dear Viewers,
Ah… It’s summer! School is out… The Flowers are blooming… The animals are thriving… The beaches in warm places are warm(as usual)… It’s sunny outside(unless you live in Antarctica)… And you usually have no homework(except you are in advanced math or reading, like me)… Those are all the things that are good about summer.
You can see that I’ve added a summer theme to my blog with sunny clouds.
By the way, for those of you who are asking, I will put some BOB stuff on my blog.
So, sit back, relax, and enjoy summer!
Sincerely,
Arca (No “Arch” this time… Fine, if you want me to I’ll say it: AKA “Arch”.)

Ramadan is Here!
Dear Viewers,
It is Ramadan, a Muslim holiday. It is the time when Muslim adults will fast until sundown. “What does fast mean?” It means to not eat or drink anything until sundown. I know it sounds horrible, but you don’t HAVE TO do it. The purpose of it is to understand how poor people feel and want to help them. I don’t actually fast. But, since I’m a kid, it’s okay to practice for an hour or two until you finally give up. It is a time when people party-usually at sundown. For kids, there is candy. It all has a moral…
Anyways, because of the “sundown thing” I will be adding a new backyard party theme to replace the summer theme.
I will put the cloudy theme back when Ramadan-or Ramazan, as Turkish people call it-is over. For all of my
Turkish friends, I will maybe add a Turkish Connection Section. MAYBE, just MAYBE….
I will leave it up to you to decide if you want it. And if no one answers, I will put it on anyways.
And a few of my friends at school have been asking if I will be putting videos of me playing Minecraft on my blog but the problem with that is that Squidoo only lets you put YouTube and Vimeo videos on your site and since I don’t have a YouTube channel I can’t. I asked my dad if I could have one and he said,”Probably not, but I will think about it.”
But the good news is that there are a lot of Rovio news I will be writing about soon.
So, that’s about all I have to tell you for know.
Sincerely,
Arca (*sigh* “/ “Arch)
6/25/2014
PS: In case you didn’t know, I was born here in the USA but my parents are from Turkey.
(The reason I put a lot of parentheses in this letter is because I am “forever in love with ()” ;))

New Origami Yoda Book Coming Soon!
Emperor Pickletine Rides the Bus, the final book, is coming August 12, 2014!
(April 23, 2014) I looked at the Origami Yoda website, and found out what book comes after his latest book, Princess Labelmaker to the Rescue!. As you read in the subtitle, the book’s name is going to be Emperor Pickletine Rides the Bus. At the end of Princess Labelmaker to the Rescue!, the kids defeat Funtime once and for all and go on a bus to Washington D.C.. So, I predict that someone will ignore the NO origami policy and bring an origami Emperor Piklatine(or however you spell it) and cause some trouble! I can’t wait for the new book to come out! To learn more, go to https//origamiyoda.com

Emperor Pickletine Amazon Book Description
Book Description
I went to amazon.com and looked at the book description for it and found it. Well here it is: “The final Origami Yoda case file from the kids at McQuarrie Middle School! After successfully fighting to save their field trip in Princess Labelmaker to the Rescue!, Tommy and the gang prepare for a well-earned day of fun and adventure in Washington, DC . . . but of course it won't be that easy! This trip to the nation’s capital will be full of shifting alliances and betrayals, carsickness and sugar rushes. Trouble starts even before the buses leave school, when Principal Rabbski decrees the field trip an "origami-free zone." Dwight secretly folds a Yoda from a Fruit Roll-Up, but will Fruitigami Yoda be a match for Harvey’s sour, hate-filled pickle of darkness? Astronaut ice cream, a supersonic plane, a Johnny Appleseed sighting, and a near arrest-are just some of the clues in the sweetest, stookiest, biggest, craziest Origami Yoda case file yet.”

Spring Poems by me 2014
Enjoy these hilarious poems by me!
Poem 1:Spring Has Sprung!
Spring has sprung!
Birds, rabbits, and other animals come back out.
After a long winter it”s
good to have some warmth and flowers.
And finally no more snow plowers!
Poem 2:Animals, Chillax!
Before the winter, you got ready and saved food.
During the winter, you stuffed ‘yer face!
Now, it’s tome to chillax…
Poem 3: Can’t wait ’till spring break
I can’t wait ’till spring break!
I can’t wait ’till spring break!
I can’t wait- I’m just so excited!
After the spring break there’s not much of the school year left- except field day!
Oh, and the NJ ASK…
Poem 4: During spring break
What will I do during spring break?
I can go skiing, to Miami, or to the Great Wall of China.
I can always go to Turkey :)
How about… falling 24,000 feet in the air, strapped to a giant squid, with 20 knives and 120 time bombs strapped to the squid, into the mouth of an active volcano!
Or… I can just chillax, chill, and relax…

NYC was awesome! (Part 1)
First, we checked out the 2014 MoCCA Arts Fest
(Written April 6, 2014-Happened on April 5, 2014) I guess I have a lot to write about. I couldn’t do this yesterday because when I got back from New York, it was too late. Anyways, here I go…
First, we checked out the 2014 MoCCA Arts Fest. MoCCA stands for Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art. The place had a really long line outside. We went in line anyways. When we went inside we saw that there was a giant Charlie Brown float on the ceiling. Inside there were hundreds of cartoonists, graphic novelists, and book illustrators. You could get special edition signed comic books and a famous cartoonist could draw a cartoony portrait of you. A cartoonist named Kendra drew a portrait of me holding Onur’s shoulders. It looked like we were Pokemon characters but we liked it anyway. In the kids section, there was a TV with a Peanuts animated special playing on it. There were also coloring books. But there were also comic books that appeal to kids like Peanuts and Adventure Time. They even had a cafe. After checking it out, we left.
(To be continued in Part 2)

NYC was awesome! (part 3)
After visiting M&M World, we went to the world's biggest Toys'R'Us
(Written April 7, 2014-Happened on April 6, 2014) This is part 3 and I have less to write about but still a lot. I almost forgot to say that we were in Times Square. I couldn’t write this after I wrote part 2 because we had to go shopping. Now I’m finally back. Here I go again…
After visiting M&M World, we went to the world’s biggest Toys’R'Us. They had this giant ferris wheel. Each ferris whell cart was themed after a section in the Toys’R'Us. There was a Toy Story cart, a Kreo cart, a Barbie cart, a Hasbro cart, and many more. In the Lego section, there were giant Lego models of things like the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building(it even had King Kong climbing up it). There was also a giant Lego Hulk. There was a giant (not Lego) Spider Man spinning a web from the ceiling. They even had a giant realistic T-Rex robot with motion detectors. It would move and make noises. “Raaaaaaaaaaaawr!” That meant that if I touched its toe, it would blow our eardrums. We explored a few sections including the Nickelodeon, Despicable Me, Minecraft, Babys’R'Us, Lego, Star Wars, and Angry Birds sections then left.
We ate at a restaurant and then went home. When we I got there, I was very tired. NYC was awesome!
So I guess this is it. Tune in for more on “This and That, Here and There”.

NYC was awesome! (Part 2)
After checking out the 2014 MoCCA Arts Fest, we visited to M&M World
(Written April 6, 2014-Happened on April 5, 2014) Ok,this is part 2 and I still have a lot to write about. I couldn’t write part 2 after I wrote part 1 because I had some homework to finish. Now I’m finally done with my homework. Here I go again…
After checking out the 2014 MoCCA Arts Fest, we visited M&M World. It was cool. You got to take pictures with M&M guys and eat as much M&Ms as you wanted to from the giant M&M dispenser. They even had I (heart) NYC M&Ms :) They had this machine that told you your mood color. I got purple and the machine told me “You seem like a smart one. How do they put the peanuts in M&Ms?” Onur got blue and the machine told him “You are extremely cool. I bet you’d make a bunch of thermometers shoot red liquid from their bottom!” After looking around a little, we left.

New Minecraft PE update in 1 week!
New update adds villagers, iron golems,snow golems(?), endermen, slime, and ability to spawn them plus change skin in Pocket Edition
(April 5,2014) I have heard that in 1 week, there will be a Minecraft PE update that will let you change your skin. What’s more, it will add villagers, iron golems, maybe snow golems, endermen, slime and ability to spawn mobs and villagers in creative. Don’t worry- in creative mode they can’t harm you. But the creeper will blow up in creative… and the endermen will teleport and the slime will jump on your head,etc… Plus, major bug fixes, new, items, and maybe even more!
My review: I can’t wait for the new update to be released! It will be released during my school’s spring break. I am planning to change my Minecraft name to Arch and get an Angry Birds skin. Many people have Stampy Cat skins in PE but I won’t get one. I also have big plans for the villagers and golems…
PE Update 0.9.0
UPDATE!: I have found out that that is not true and that there is a lot more stuff I forgot to write.
