Treay of Waitangi

Treaty of Waitangi

I didn't know anything about the treaty of waitangi because I came from the Philippines
All of it interested me
I would like to know more things about the Victoria Queen

Today, I learned that I should not be spending too much time on my electronics because it is not good for my health and I might regret it later and then waste a lot of money in the Hospital. I also thought that I can't trust anyone I don't know in online websites because I might get into a big trouble in the end.

I've seen a video from "The Onion" and I really thought the teen was a brain dead maybe because of her actions and her parents said that the teen hit her head really hard when he was 12 years old. And because the doctor showed some pictures of her brain and because the doctor was really in a Hospital.
