Birthdays

Hi
This week seems to be everyone's birthday!
Today it is a kid leader from my church called Elisa's birthday, on Thursday it's a boy from my church's birthday, it was another leaders birthday on Monday and finally my birthday on Friday! Does any one else have a birthday this week or any time soon? Let me know in the comments below.
For my birthday I'm going to watch a movie called the BFG in the cinemas on Friday with my friend Grace. I can't wait!

School

Hi again!
Today I am school while mum prepares for the rest leaders of the leaders to come next week. School starts again on Monday. Even though most people went back to school yesterday, we get a three week holiday break! School time is coming close though. I'm looking forward to seeing my friends again, but I'm not looking forward to getting up at six o'clock every morning. What about you guys? Are you exited to be going to school?

Catching you up

Hi guys!

Sorry I haven't written for aaaages.....
I have been, reading, making hotels, going to football games, going to school, bike riding, going on picnics and preparing for our fundraiser for New Life Academy School.

Flute exam

Hi! I just got back home from my flute exam and hospital. Don't worry I didn't go to hospital for me just for Shannae getting her casts of for good.
Now back to my flute exam. Today I had a flute exam with my teachers teacher. My teacher is Mikaela and her teacher is Svetlana. You might remember Mikaela from earlier blogs. She is my cousin. Now for you who want to know...... I passed! Now I am on 2/3 grade flute! Yay! Although I accidentally played a melodic minor instead of an harmonic minor.(Silly mistake) I still went well!
Thanks for reading. I will blog again soon! bye.

ANZAC day

Hi again!
Today is Anzac day. As you know ANZAC day is a public holiday and a day of remembrance of all the soldiers and people who went to fight for our freedom. Also I found this video about someone called Anzac. Here is the link for you to COPY AND PASTE. http://www.abc.net.au/btn/story/s3991546.htm
Today is the day were the ANZACs arrived on Gallipoli and many of them were killed.
Here is a famous peom that they say at Anzac day ceremonies:
They shall not grow old, as we who are left to grow old,

Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn,

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,

We shall remember them

Lest we forget

Wedding

Hi again everybody! Yesterday and the day before Rohan and Prianka got married! You probably don't know them but Rohan is my dad's best friend and Prianka is his new wife. Here is a picture of them at pat #2 of their wedding. (their wedding had two parts)

Desert and the most important meal of the day

A few days ago I made breakfast for my family. It was the picture below.

As you can see, it is a cheese and ham toasted sandwich. Now you are probably not interested in this very much so I will move on.

I went on a sleepover a couple of days ago to a family friends house. They wanted to go out for desert, or make something. We were discussing what to make when someone else arrived! Her name is Jodie. She suddenly gave us an idea. She said that using pre pealed and chopped up frozen bananas and frozen berries (with a little milk)would make ice-cream! So we decided to make that. And just our luck, they had frozen bananas and raspberries. This was the end result that tasted YUM.

Ladyoteata #2

I'm sorry I haven't written this post sooner, but here we go.

Here is a quick recount:
I brought my camera, (it was my birthday present)my backpack, some food and a map of that country. I also took my laptop. So I started of, sneaking past the human security guard and my teachers. then checking my map and heading into the nearest town.

Where I went first was to telephone box. I went there because it had internet access. I got my laptop out and booked a oneway flight to the Amazon. 

Now to the next part of the story:
It was hard doing keying in the letters because my paws were big and didn't have fingers so I couldn't press the keys properly. Also the cost was way to expensive for me to afford to pay, but I figured when the time comes I will work something out. After 60 minutes I had finally finished, and good timing to, for suddenly a taxi sped around the corner. "Taxi" I called waving my hands wildly. He didn't see me, or if he did he pretended not to. He sped right past me, followed closely by several policeman. Oh no. He must be a very bad and disobedient driver for, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 police cars chasing him! Suddenly I saw the traffic lights up ahead and saw the green lights turning red. That car isn't going to be able to stop in time for the red lights, Its going to fast! If he goes through the red lights he will have to pay even bigger fines then just speeding and refusing to stop when a police officer asks you to! I had to stop that car! Suddenly I saw a shoe store and some electrical cords. That gave me an idea. I ran into the store and grabbed two pairs of rubber boots. I put one on each paw. Then I quickly climbed an the electricity pole. I was quick because even though I lived in a very advanced technology filled conservation area for girls, they still taught the necessary basics to survival.
To be continued...

Today

Hi again! This is Talia here with news. Today is my cousins party! Yay. So now you may be asking yourself, which cousin is it? Mikaela, Jaden, Zachary, Calvin, Keon, Elisha, Isabel, Dylan, Lachlan or Ethan. Well it is.....(drum roll please).......................................KEON!!! Happy Birthday to you, where ever you are. The party is a kids version of a laser tag party. I can't wait. Although I kind of have to.

Next few days

Yay! I can't wait for the next few days!

Schedule:
Today-prepare for presentation night.
Tomorrow/Friday-presentation night.
Saturday-Faith's 11 birthday party

Let's start with today. Today we will only probably be doing a little bit of work and lots of preparing for tomorrow night. If you don't know what is tomorrow night, it is presentation night. And if you don't know what presentation night is, it is a night that we all perform our projects that we have worked throughout the year.
Now Tomorrow/Friday. We are going to have a day of preparing and presenting our projects. Also it is the last day of school.
And lastly Saturday. It is the first day of the school holidays! Also it is Faith's birthday party. At her party we will be going bowling and doing lazer tag!

That is just a short recount of my next few days.

Casts!

Look at this picture.

This is crazy! My sister has casts on both her arms, and she has never in her life broken a bone in her body! "Hi" this is Talia again. Can you believe Shannae has casts on both her arms! I would say I can't, but really I forget she has casts on most of the time. She has them on because her wrists don't bend all the way back, well not as much as they should. So they push her wrists back as far as they can go without hurting, then they cast her in that position. Each week they push her wrists back further and cast her. Then when they can't go back any further they take the casts of and don't cast her again for another year.

We Won!

We won! We won! We won! Ok calm down Talia. Here we go. Today we won a DVD from Hope 103.2! If you don't know what that is, it is a radio station. I haven't ever won anything before. That is why I am so exited. The DVD we won is called "The Great Gilly Hopkins." We won the competition by writing on their website what book we thought should become a movie. Shannae chase and her choice was (drum roll please!) Trixi Belden! Never heard of it? now surprise, it isn't very famous. But still, we won! Out of all the people who entered, US! This is awesome. I can't wait to watch it. Mum sys will probably watch it in the school holidays. That way we well have lots of time to watch it. We haven't watched the movie yet, but the  movie is about a girl who was abandoned when she was a baby and has been to a LOT of foster homes. Copy and paste this link. This is a picture of the Great Gilly Hopkins.

Ouch!

A few days ago my grandma, that I call Nana, had an operation. It was on her toe, that might not sound that bad but it is. Her toes were growing pointing on top of each other, so shoes were hard to put on. So that is why she had her operation. now let,s show you some pictures!Ouch!
this is her with my cousins, Mikaela, Jaden,
Zachary, Calvin, Keon and Elisha (yes there is 6
of them in 1 family)

So what exactly was the operation for? It was to make her bones straight again. And what exactly did the doctors do? They moved the bone over and straightened her toes. They also put a pin in it to keep it straight. In a few days they will take it out again. She is in a lot of pain so she has a wheel chair and crutches. Ouch! That must have hurt!

Back to school

Easter is over. Nooooo!!!
Oh well. At least yesterday we got to go in the Sydney easter parade! If you don't know what that is I will tell you. It is a big parade held on easter Monday. It is in the city and marches from Hyde park to the opera house. It is made up from lot's of churches and performers. KCCS also participates.(If you don't know what that is: It is my school) Our old principle is also the founder of the parade, which is why we were in it. Want to know more? here is a link to a website.

Last School day till Easter!

Tomorrow is Easter! Yay! The chocolate, bunnies, lollies and of course you can't forget Jesus! Do you know why we celebrate Easter and the real meaning? maybe not so I am now going to tell you the story of Easter.

Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, "go into the village in frount of you and bring, you will see a colt. Bring him to me. If anyone asks say, the Lord needs it. They did as he said. When they brought the colt to him, Jesus got on to him and rode into the village. In those days everyone walked everywhere, but occasionally a king would ride in on a donkey and everyone would come out of their houses to watch.
That is all for now. I will post the rest of the story later. Thanks!

New Addition

I just bought a puppy! Well technically my family bought it but I think it should be mine. His name is Mocha. We bought him so Mia our other dog wouldn't be alone all the time any more. Because mum is at work 3 days a week and dad works every week day so she is alone most of the time. Mocha is sooooo... cute. He is 7 weeks old and is tiny weeny! He is not toilet trained yet but I hope He will be soon because other wise we have to clean up every single poop!

This is Mocha

Small competition!

Hi I am at home today because I am sick. And I am really bored and do not know what to do? So I was thinking about this blog and decided to see which one of you readers knows what to do when you are home sick! So I decided to have a small competition. It is to see who can come up with the best idea. So Please comment below and put down your best idea. I will write a new post putting the winners name and suggestion in so that you guys can see and try it yourself at home when you are sick, stuck at home or just bored. Also please put your FIRST name down in the comment so that I can write it in the post if you win! (you do not have to put your name down but it would be good if you could) Good luck! P.S. This competition will be judged on the 12th of March.

Ladyoteata #1

Thank you to everyone who commented on "I need your Feedback." In the end none said no! So I decided that I will write the series.

Hush! It was five to twelve in the night. Every thing was quiet in the little town near the wood. There was an old bridge and on the bridge was a old bear his name was Ladyoteata and he was a marvelous story teller.
As the old town clock struck midnight, all the animals came and gathered around him wether they were, old or young, tall or short, fat or skinny. And Ladyoteata started telling his story of when he was young while all the animals watched him with awe and wonder.

"I know you have been waiting to here this story"he began. "so I will begin." 
When I was little, I got teased very badly but it wasn't always like that. I used to have many friends until they all found out I wasn't a girl and was a boy. You see when I was born my parents wanted to have a girl so badly they called me what they would have called me if I was a girl! They also put me in a bear sanctuary to keep me safe like all bears did back then. But only with the girls! So since I was to little to even think of running away I decided that I would be better of pretending. And I must have faked it pretty well since all the real girls soon wanted to be my friend! Life was good! For a couple of years at least. And the only reason everything changed and I got bullied is because of my parents. You might be thinking What could they have possibly done that was that bad? Well what they did was this. They went and told all my friends that I was going to leave this sanctuary because I was a boy and that they made a mistake and shouldn't have brought me here. And what makes it worse is that my teachers told my parents that I was fitting in well and liked it here! Which was true until the news got around to every sanctuary student and everyone teased me about it! And remember what my teachers said to my parents? Well it convinced them to let me stay here! I dealt with the bulling for a few weeks but then it got unbearable! I couldn't stand it! So I ran away! 

I brought my camera, (it was my birthday present)my backpack, some food and a map of that country. I also took my laptop. So I started of, sneaking past the human security guard and my teachers. then checking my map and heading into the nearest town.

Where I went first was to telephone box. I went there because it had internet access. I got my laptop out and booked a oneway flight to the Amazon.
To Be Continued......

Thanks for reading! Hope you liked the first section of Ladyoteata I will post #2 around the first of April or maybe even sooner! Hope you enjoyed the first episode!

The Beach

Hi again! A few days ago we got to go to the beach! Well technically the rocks but afterwards we got to go. It was especially fun because the waves were Huge  and we got to go with a new student because we have students living with us! Caorie our student especially liked it because she had seen the ocean before but never seen waves or a clean beach! And guess what else? My mum told me not to get to wet but I accidentally did. Whoops! Oh well. It was really fun even though I did got wet in my clothes.

                              Caorie

Us at the beach (Shannae is in the dress and
Caorie is in the middle and I am the other girl)

Need Your feedback!!!

Hey Guys! How are you? I am good. So I need your opinion on something. I got feed back from one of my friends and they suggest I should write more of a narrative thing on here. So I thought Maybe I should do a story that is in a series called Ladyoteata. Ladyoteata is a bear that is old and now lives in the woods free to roam although he used to live in a bear conservation area. Every night at midnight he tells every animal in the wood about his adventures from when He was little. Ladyoteata's story was that he got teased because of his name so one day he decided to show all of his friends what he could do so he ran away from his family, friends and the bullies to go and explore the world and take photos with his camera as proof to his friends for when he returns. If you think this is a good idea please comment "yes" and if you do not think this is a good idea please comment "no". If I get more yes's than no's I will monthly put one story up from this series. Please comment soon

School.... already?

It is the school holidays and my sister is at camp, my dad is at work and my mum is working too......
...................................SO WHY AM I AT SCHOOL!!!!
I am at school because my mum works here and I didn't have any other place to go so I came to school with her. And why is my mum working in the school holidays, you ask? Because she has to get work ready for our school of 20 kids. Yep you read that right 20 kids share this school although we are hoping the school will soon be a bigger school. Our school is called KCCS aka.Kingdom Culture Christian School. I am not sure how today will go but I will trust God to not let me be bored to death. Thanks for reading remember if you like what you read please comment below.

Horse Riding!

I love horses so it was awesome when for christmas I got a voucher for one hour of horse riding! It seemed like ages before we could actually do the horse riding our parents had promised. But finally after ages... WE FINALLY GOT TO GO YESTERDAY!!! It took about an hour to get there from my house but when we got there it was definately worth it. There were horses everywhere! And guess what? We had booked for a public trail ride but no one else turned up because it was raining! So in the end we got a private trail ride. (We, as in my sister and I) And guess what else? God stopped the rain just as we were about to get on our horses! My horse's name was Champs and Shannae's horse was called Rex.

So we headed off with just Shannae, Stacey (Our guide) and I. It felt like a really short ride although it was an hour long. Near the end of the ride it started raining. My horse Champs was being lazy and started falling behind but suddenly he started going faster. I pulled on the reigns to try to stop him but he didn't stop! Luckily once Champs was caught up he slowed to a walk. Our guide Stacy said he was trying to catch up so he wasn't going to be stuck in the rain by himself. She also said he was trotting!

Sadly after what seemed like a short time the ride finished and I had to say goodbye to Champs and get in the car for the long drive home stopping for a HungryJacks lunch on the way.

                                                   This is Champs, Rex, Shannae and me

                                                            This is me and Champs

Dinner - a First!

Hi again!
Last night I made dinner for my family completely by my self for the first time! First my mum told me to cut up some chicken thigh fillet. It was pretty hard especially since it was my first time cutting up raw chicken! Next I cut up some onion (mum kind of did the cutting part I was just supervising her to make sure she did it correctly:)) Next I put some oil in a pan and cooked the onion and chicken together until the chicken was cooked. Afterwards I chucked some salt, mustard, cream and mushrooms on the chicken to make the sauce. Last of all I boiled the pasta, dished it out then served!
Yuuuummm!!!
That is all for now. Please, if you liked this post, please leave a comment below. I always enjoy getting feedback on my writing!
