Choose your own adventure - JULY

Today’s blog is a fun one as we are choosing our own adventure but with a twist! Haley suggested we incorporate the word “Pair or Pear” in our blogs…THIS should be interesting!
 
Last week on Thursday, I spent a lot of time on-line to get a pair of AC/DC tickets.  I could never believe that I’m seeing AC/DC in November with my old man.  I have a pair of things to look forward to, the AC/DC concert, I’m five rows from the front. And what socks I may wear. There will be lots of lights on the front and the back of the stage so people don’t get lost. They are so many fans going to the same place as I am and I need to make sure I'm going to wear a pair of socks at the show.  What that pair is going to look like might be odd socks or one big or one small sock I don’t know, they might be a pair of or a different style of clothing that AC/DC will be wearing.  - Ash.
 
Our blog today is using the word pair, meaning two things that are related or meant to be the same. In my wardrobe I have many shoes and clothes that I have two of. l go shopping with mum and we are always looking for a pair of shoes for me and mum.
My favourite pair of shoes are pink and green and mums favourite colour is white and brown, we go there once a week or fortnight to shop and have lunch.

I also have pairs of love heart earrings which I am wearing today. I like having double of most things because if I damage like tear or stain I have another outfit the same to wear.
Having double things not only makes me realise that I am very lucky and that I need to maybe clean my wardrobe and take what I don't use anymore to the Salvo's and share my outfits to people who would wear and need them and it makes me happy because I am sharing. - Claire
 

I have chosen to write a topic about birthdays because everyone here likes birthdays. Most people like to have a big celebration, they like to have cake, candles. Usually, their loved ones will light a candle for the person celebrating and they all sing happy birthday songs to them. How do you feel when people sing happy birthday? Do you smile or do you find it uncomfortable like me? Then after the songs finished the people will shout " Hip hip hooray!" Then the person will blow the candles.


After blowing the candles, the person who is celebrating their birthday will pare their birthday cake, that is, cut the edges.  In this case cut their cake. Kids like to have a cute cake like Frozen, Hello Kitty, Winnie the Pooh. Then the celebrant and their families will eat the cake. They might eat snacks too. Some foods that you can have at a party are: chocolate, cookies, chips. If you want to have healthy food you can have a pear.

After the family and the celebrant are full from eating the birthday food, the celebrant will open the presents. Some ideas that you can give for a birthday presents are: A pair of socks, a pair of pyjamas.

I want to tell everyone what I prefer to do on my special day. I like to have a quiet day on my special day, I don't like it when people sing the birthday song to me and bring me cake. I like to keep it private. Instead I usually like to listen to music on my phone using a pair of earbuds, even though I don't like to make a big deal on my birthday I still receive wishes from my family. Most of my aunts like to send me GIF on my special day, I really love that because it doesn't make any noise . For example: A sticker of stitch holding a birthday cake. I also like to eat dinner at home. My favourite foods are: Spaghetti, chicken kiev and chips. I will use a pair of spoon and fork to eat my dinner, but back in my childhood days I really liked to celebrate with cakes and candles just like lots of people do, it's just after I reach adult age I don't like to have loud celebrations anymore.  I had a celebration at school when I was a kid in Indonesia, but I didn't have a cake I just gave all my classmates and my teacher goody bags. Then in the evening I pare a cake at home with my family.

My opinion about birthdays is just to do what makes you happy, you don't have to blow out candles or have a cake if you don't want to. If you want to just relax at home that's okay too or you can go on a fun adventure, like a holiday.

Thank you for reading my blog about birthday. I hope you all like it.
Love from: Jacinda
 
 
Walking along the footpath heading towards an Art Gallery on an Autumn day, the leaves are falling to the ground. I entered the art gallery, not too many people around.
I went anti-clockwise, as many people went the other way. I like to aimlessly roam around, I’ve got all the time in the day for me. I entered the statue exhibition which had about thirty different statues, full bodies and bust ones.  The artists who made them were incredible, capturing every detail. I wandered around for a while, then I entered a room themed with Greek mythology fruit. There was a column statue with a golden fruit basket on the angle, it was filled to the brim with fruit, bananas, apples, but there was also golden fruit on the wall with little notes beside each of them.
 
I walked around the room to see the different golden fruits there was a pear, the note says “In Ancient Greek mythology, the golden Pear was used by Prometheus for a distraction” I saw a golden apple, the note read: “In Greek mythology, the Hesperides guarded a garden full of golden apples that granted people immortality".
 
There were grapes on a vine. I read the note about them “Golden grapes are not really a distinct item, but the grapevine is somewhat associated with a Greek God called Dionysus, the God of wine".
 
I managed to see the whole exhibition before closing time. I quickly grabbed a hot chocolate from the cafe, walked outside and started my walk back home.  It was dusk, and still the leaves were falling, the wind had a cold breeze and the street lights flickered on. - Haley. 
 
 
Dear readers, this week’s topic is choose your own adventure.
Let me start by telling you about something I'm looking forward to, which is me going to the hairdresser to get my hair done. By the time you are reading this it will already be done with a stunning purple colour in it. I’m feeling really excited and happy to be getting my hair done and to get it coloured purple since purple is my favourite colour.

Recently I made spiced apple and pear and it was so yummy.
I love cooking, especially in the winter as I can make soup, stews and my favourite desserts. What do you like to cook? What are you looking forward to? Is it soon or far away still?  Written by Charlotte
 
 
Hi friends, how are you? Today’s topic is choose your own adventure and we were given a word which was "pear" or "pair" to use in our blog today. Haley suggested our topic today, and what I have chosen to write about is:- I have no idea what to write as I always find choosing your own adventure the hardest topic to write about.

So now it’s time to think. Readers, what do you do when you can't think about what to write, or do? I asked the other bloggers what to write about and I still don’t know what to write. Someone suggested Google but I got no help there. So now I'm sitting here thinking of what to write. Sitting right in front of me is a beautiful pear so I think I will just go ahead and eat it. I hope you have a lot of fun reading our blogs this week. This is bubbly Bethany signing off until next week.
 
 
Today’s blog is choose your own adventure.
I’m going to be writing about the 747 shuttle carrier which is what NASA uses to transport space shuttle orbiters. In 1986, a space shuttle exploded seventy-three seconds after lift off, sadly killing seven astronauts.  This was due to a failure in a seal which allowed gas to leak out and cause the explosion. This was just one, imagine if it was a pair of them, that would have been even more catastrophic.

One day Sam had lost a pair of shoes and also lost his clothes. He was swimming in the pool and someone took off with his items.
He had to report it to the owner of the pool centre and they replaced them with a pair of pants and shoes so he could get home.

Hello and welcome to another weekly blog. Before I started this blog I needed a pair of cookies to inspire me today. Recently I was looking at multiple pairs of tye dye shoes which I absolutely love. I also needed to buy a pair of tickets for the cricket which is really exciting. I also love the fruit pear as it's really juicy and refreshing. Did you know that a pair can never be the same due to the DNA of the person and the uniqueness of things. I love wearing a pair of gloves when I play football as it keeps my hands clean. I feel like when I lose a glove or one of something, I have to throw the other one away. 
 
Anyway, writers block has hit this week so keep being awesome.
 
Keep being awesome

It’s a choose your own adventure kind of day... 
What goes into a choose your own adventure blog? I'm so excited that you asked, because you did technically ask while reading that sentence, ha-ha I got you and you love it, I'm sure. Every blog has a tremendous amount of thought and brain power that goes into it and honestly, it’s both infuriating and therapeutic for me because writer's block can strike at any time. More so when we do a choose your own adventure. It’s therapeutic because I love the writing process, it gets things off my chest and off my mind. Just like a brain dump and we love a good brain dump.  

A choose your own adventure starts with all of us deciding if we all would like to do a choose your own adventure blog, we all like to agree on a topic and it's the same when we do a choose your own adventure, we like to agree on it as a group or a team. The only difference between a normal blog day and a choose your own adventure blog day is we write about different things. That’s part of the magic of the adventure of writing our blogs, we can shake it up a bit every now and then.  

Choosing a topic for a choose your own adventure blog is something that can be tricky because it comes from your own brain and you might come up blank, this is why I enjoy being in a group setting for blogging. You get to bounce ideas off each other and really double down on the whole teamwork thing. 
It’s helpful that we have so much inspiration in our lives for our blogs too. I find it’s great to take a break and have a little snack while writing our blogs and give ourselves a brain break.  

When we have finished our blogs, we get them edited or checked over for a bit of quality control as I like to call it. Did I mention we only do a choose your own adventure blog once a month? Our blogs are always awesome, so we read them out to the group and have a bit of a read though before we finish off with some lunch. Speaking of lunch, how does everyone feel about pear? I’m not a fan at all but I appreciate those who love them. I’m truly happy for you.  
​
I hope that this was a helpful explanation of how we get our choose your own adventure blogs going. Have a wonderful and peaceful week my friends.  
You friend always, 
Shan.
 
I like apple the best but they taste like apple juice.  It’s so yummy but something I do like is the apple cider like a beer. Some of them are dark juice or light juice some are different types of apple.  I like apple better than pears.
 
Pears are not really my favourite, but taste like something weird. They taste like pears but different from apple, they are my favourite type but pears taste very weird for me.
