Recount Text

Last Sunday was so really happy day ! =DD
I woke up so late. It was 10.00 a.m. Long time I waited this moment. All activities in the school made me bored.Because the day was rainy, it made me really enjoyed my time. I just played guitar all the day.

 I felt hungry, so, I went out from my bedroom. I hope I found the food in the kitchen. And… guess what I found... yuuhuuu, it was my favorite food, super special omelette from my mom! Hmm.. It was so delicious! Thanks mom!

After I finished breakfast, I went to my room take a rest (again). Yup, I just played guitar in my room. I played it so long. Suddenly, I got inspiration to made a song. A beautiful song.  “Wow! Today so wonderful! If every day like this, I never go to school” I said in my mind.

This was so nice. Now, every Sunday I hope the day just like this.
