I am one of the top 10 of grade 7 this year again. Happy!

I hope I am a monitor or something next term.

I can’t believe we are writing exams this coming term.

Busy year.

I am excited for my June trip down to the sea. Mom and Dad decided that Grandpa and I shouldn’t be up in Joburg during the World Cup.

So we are gonna fly down just before school closes and fly back at the end of June.

Yay, ocean in Winter!

I should probably get some sleep since its very late.

Realisation

2010-04-07T16:18:00.001+02:00

I realised yesterday that I have one less day of holiday. The public holiday confused the cats out of me and there I was thinking yesterday was Monday, because Mom and Dad were home on the real Monday. I then realised that it was Tuesday and that Monday was gone. I now have 4 days left.

4 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(

WHY??????????????????

Good-bye holiday. It was nice knowing you.

Soon I will be bombarded by grade 7 work and people and EXAMS!!!!!!

I wish holidays were longer.

Oh well.

Oh cats.

Well here is a random picture for laughs.

I will try to put more of them in. Everyday.

Just another day

2010-04-05T14:59:00.001+02:00

Today it is raining. I love the rain but I can’t do much.

Mom and I are sitting here, in bed, watching Star Wars.
With chocolate.

Mmmm… chocolate.

I am happy. One more week of holidays, YAY!!

Easter Sunday

2010-04-05T00:10:00.001+02:00

Today was Easter, as you probably know.

I spent the day at J’s grandpa’s house for a great day of Easter celebration.
We had and Easter egg hunt between J, R and myself. We each found loads of eggs and i got to take a whole lot home.

We also dyed white eggs with different colours and it looked beautiful. Mom, Dad and I had so much fun and we now wan to do that again.
My left hand is blue from dye and it’s finally starting to fade.

I am enjoying being back on the blog and hope to post more often now.

Happy Easter

I know, I know. To my very few readers, I am sorry. It’s been just under a year since I last posted.

I am on the first holiday of the year now and I am in grade 7. Wow.

I am no longer friends with K. D and S are now my friends. I won’t say what thier real names are though.

I help D look after her class, since she is a class monitor. We look after Grade 1’s and they love to hold our hands or cling on to us.

Those children gave me lice too! AAAAAAHHHHHHH!

The tortoise seems to have grown. Dude. He’s cute. I am listening to Avril Lavigne-Tomorrow. My room is a mess but I’m too lazy to go clean it up. Maybe I should go do that now. Oh right the others will be in the way. This is gonna be a long night. I only got like 5 hours of sleep last night and J only got to sleep at 8:00AM and woke up again at 10:00AM so only 2 hours. We’re all SOOOOO TIRED.

Fear Poems

2009-07-23T16:36:00.001+02:00

At school for English we had to write Fear Poems, about our fears. First we wrote down 10 of our fears and then we had to write a poem about them.
Here is my Fear Poem:

Going blind,
going deaf,
what would I do?
Losing special things,
Rolling backwards down a hill,
what would I do?
Germs, spiders, intruders,
creaky wooden floors at night
what would I do?

Thank you! Thank you!
Sorry I haven’t blogged in a while

My Poems at School

2009-05-05T18:28:00.001+02:00

In English we were asked to write some poems about hunger after we saw some pictures on YouTube about children who were starving in Africa. My poems were:

Hunger is red
Like the blood that spills when I am hurt
It deprives me
Like a room where I can’t breathe
It makes me cry
Like a small, hungry child
It makes me wish for them to have food.

Hunger is blue
Like the sky that we all can see
It breaks my heart
Like a lost lover
It makes me sad
Like all the starving children
It makes me want to help them.

Hunger is black
Like the darkest night
It kills
Like a disease
It makes me feel so sad for the starving children
Like losing a friendship with an old friend
It makes me appreciate what I have

Hunger is green
Like the unavailable plants for the hungry children
It makes the children thin
Like the thinnest stick
It makes me sob
Like a waterfall
It makes me love my life as it is

Hunger is white
Like people say it is after I die
It sucks out lives of children
Like a black hole
It makes me aware
Like a hunting cat
It makes me want to give them a life just like mine.

The School Elections.

2009-03-20T20:22:00.001+02:00

At school today my English teacher was saying how the South African elections are near. she said that we had been doing so much work that we should have some fun. Educational fun. But what she said next was rather unexpected. We will be having our own school elections and we now either have to form into political parties or be an interviewer, photographer and/or a voter. I have joined a party with all my friends. We called it Girls and Boys Democratic Party. so far we only have about 7 people but we will get more on Monday. I know that people will vote for us though. Only Grade 6s and 7s can be in parties and the rest must vote. The leader of the party that wins will be president of the school. I do but I don’t want to be the group leader. Gotta go now. I have to make fliers for our group.

Medical Mews

2009-03-15T16:35:00.001+02:00

This week we had challenge to write a story with the heading Medical Mews each. We saw a sign at Sandton City saying that and we couldn’t help but making this challenge. If you are wondering who ‘we’ is, it’s my mom and I. Here is my one:

Once long ago when people didn’t have any medicine and people died all the time because of sickness and diseases, a little girl was born. There were prophecies of this child and she would decide the fate of how people healed and died. She would decide who could live and who had lived their lives and their time had come. Her name was Marianna. Her parents had known that she was special ever since they first laid their eyes on her and they protected her with their lives. They loved her so much that they swore to protect Marianna even at the cost of their lives.

When she was 11 years old they were attacked and her father nearly died. But they had told her about her prophecy and she immediately decided upon her father’s fate.

“He must live, for he is my guardian, bound for all eternity to save the prophecy and the world.” She said it with such power that her mother was even a bit scared. “He must live.” She whispered as if in a trance.

Her father was completely healed and her mother said, “Thank the gods for our child.” She was a miracle, their daughter. No one on the whole planet had ever been that lucky in such deathly times.

Many years passed and eventually Marianna could tell if someone was dying from the other side of the world. She never used her powers out of malice and she never made any friend because that could cloud her judgement on who could stay and whose time came and went.

When she was 21 a huge plague spread all through her town but she could not let her parents live forever. She knew that now because she was a proper adult she couldn’t rely on her parents to look after her. She was immortal but her parents were not. It was the hardest thing to do but she had to do it. She cried for a week and in that week the lives of many people were saved but eventually she realised that not everyone can always be saved.

She lived for hundreds of years and once she found a cat with kittens. They were all so beautiful and adorable that she could never lit their time come. She put a special spell on these cats. She promised to let them live with her and stay comfortable and happy forever.

“You will never die” she really meant it.

After she had turned 21 she never aged and now she was 700 years old and she didn’t look a day over 20. People called Marianna The Fate.

Once she met a girl named Jessica. Jessica had recently moved here to Marianna’s hometown. They made good friends with each other and they saw each other often.

The scariest day of her life was when Jessica was hit by a car. She wouldn’t die but she was in pain. Marianna couldn’t heal her so she could only make her happy. Ever since she found the small family of cats there had been more kittens added to the family from other cats and she only lived with them. So she basically bred cats. She had never let any of them die and they only went out into her garden. They never went onto the roads.

She brought Jessica a four month old kitten. She was very surprised when she took the kitten to the hospital though.

She held the kitten there and she mewed the smallest cutest little mew. Surprisingly, right after she mewed, as if by magic, Jessica was healed. It was the most amazing miracle Marianna had ever witnessed and she had gone through some rather hectic times in her life. She watched her family die. And biggest and scariest of all, deciding peoples deaths. In the empty hospital room with only a kitten and Jessica, The Fate nearly passed out from shock, surprise and most of all, happiness.

Jessica was so happy to care for the cat that saved her life and she decided to name her Life. She walked out of the room with Marianna and she was carrying Life. Her parents were amazed at how their daughter had so quickly healed.

Marianna was so happy and she donated kittens to the hospital and eventually they had all people healed.

Luckily there were so many cats and they bred like rabbits. Marianna had only a certain amount of cats and she also wanted to keep some. So she made any cats she saw immortal and she also made them a bit kinder because she had seen some hostility in certain cats. All cats could heal but young kittens were more effective and they worked quicker .It was now only the people who had their time coming and for certain old people she had to let them go.

When she decided on a person’s fate a kind of trance formed around her and she looked into the person’s heart and decided whether their time was then or later.

Now all hospitals had cats roaming around them. The cats seemed to know who really needed help immediately and who could wait for another cat.

About a month after it was discovered a newspaper article said:

New health program for the injured

Only a year ago we had people dying all over and we thought that we could never heal them and the population of the world was getting smaller and smaller. It seemed like there was no hope. Too many people were getting hurt and it seemed like the only feeling we had in the world was hurt and pain.

Then at 11:30 on 9 June 2003 Jessica Katriata was hit by a car and was lucky to be alive. She was immediately rushed to Hollowriver hospital. Her parents were there and a friend. Her friend, Marianna Mandikat, is the one who saved her and all other people in risk of getting hurt or ill. All she did was try to cheer her up by bringing her a kitten from her many cats that she has bred. Surprisingly this small white kitten was more than a mere animal. She mewed for Jessica and she was magically healed. A miracle had happened. “We thought that Jessica might not have even survived when she walked out of the emergency room with no scratches to be seen,” says Dr. Cassandra Londrea.

Now there are cats and kittens in all hospitals. People are healing faster than ever and the population drop had ended rather dramatically. Marianna Mandikat is now called The Hope because she saved us.

Marianna hadn’t told them she was the one who decided on life or death though. She thought people would turn against her and say she was actually the reason so many people died.

She tried to work with the cats system of life. She had actually wondered how she could make cats immortal but not humans. Now she realised why. She had to work with them to save the world. She couldn’t work on her own anymore.

During the ‘population drop’ it had been very hard for her and making hundreds of decisions at a time was actually the problem. That was why so many people died. Now that cats know about their power they can help. She had headaches all the time because she made hundreds of decisions a day. Now she had so much more help and she was the happiest she could ever have been for a person who decides death.

She kept breeding cats and even today she is still around deciding my fate and yours and she will know when it’s time.

The Waiting Must END!!!!!

2008-12-04T06:36:00.001+02:00

I am restlessly waiting for the twilight movie to finally come out. It was meant to come out on the 21st of November and now its the 3rd of December, I know, you're wondering why I’m complaining if you don't know the terrible news. its only coming out on the 19th of December 2008! At least its better than it was 2 days ago. It was meant to come out on the 31st of December. so I am a bit happier about that but now the rest of the world is ahead while were still waiting. So come on now people! Just let us see the movie already. I’ve already read all the rest of the books and I almost finished reading Breaking Dawn. Finally the grade 5 year is over! Freedom!

Second last day of school and then a prize giving tonight. Then back to cleaning my room. *Sigh*

Not good day

2008-07-13T13:38:00.001+02:00

Today isn't the best day. First of all, I'm sick so I spent the week-end in bed. We have also had a rainy week-end, which probably caused my illness. I kept expecting snow but none came, we had the right weather and all but still no snow. It's also the last day of holidays. that's horrible. I have to go to school tomorrow and do P.E. in the cold. My mom and I are trying to curl our hair. It might not work though.

My Good Friday

2008-06-06T16:48:00.001+02:00

If you ask me, my day was great. It started off with my review on the trip to the Lilliesleaf Museum being the best in the class and I got to read it to the whole school. then I got a Merit Certificate. During English we got to write birthday cards to Nelson Mandela and that made me feel important. when I got home I realised that I had no homework so that was great. When my parents arrived home from work, however, they had picked up my glasses a day early and they had both pairs not just the one pair.

Plus it was the beginning of the week-end.

Lilliesleaf Museum Field Trip

2008-06-05T14:41:00.001+02:00

Today my teacher took the grade 5's to the new Lilliesleaf Museum in Rivonia.We had a great time. Lots of the children took cameras with and they took loads of pictures. We learned all about what it was like during apartheid time. We also went into the house that Nelson Mandela lived in while he was hiding before the Rivonia Trial. I felt really important because we were the first people to go into the museum from the public before it is fully and officially opened.

Last night I finished my 9th book. I'm just flying through them and now I'm starting another one. some people may think I'm mad because I like books but they don't really know what they are missing.

I love cats. I would love it if I could sleep with them, cuddle them and hold them for as long as I wanted to but unfortunately I can't because I am allergic to them. I also have asthma. Cats are SO cute.

2008-05-13T10:34:00.001+02:00

Last night I finished another book. that is my eighth book this year and yet i am still disappointed. i could have read more.

The other night we all dressed up like we were dead.It was rather creepy.

Over the weekend my friend Erin slept over at my house for the whole weekend. I'm a bit tired of her now.

Grade 5 is hard. I am getting more and more homework now.

That's as much as i can remember for now except the fact that i am at home in bed with my parent because we are ill.

Ill blog later

2008-04-02T13:56:00.001+02:00

Last night I finished another Harry Potter book, the sixth one. When I grow up I want to become a writer. I have already started 1 book and when I am finished I will write another one. I love reading and writing and I spend a lot of my free time either blogging, reading, writing or playing Sims2. I read every night before I go to sleep. It helps calm me down,I struggle to fall asleep.
