“It’s the most wonderful time of the year”… (Are you singing with me)?
Whether we like it or dislike it, we really don’t have much choice! It’s everywhere we look right now. The shopping centres are decorated, the carols are playing and the shoppers are hustling! Personally, I’m a huge fan. I love the hype, I love the weather, I love the thought of having a break and I love the time to catch up with family and friends, but that’s just me! Let’s see what our team of creative writers have to share about this festive time of the year… Cindy.
 
 
Hello! Welcome to our blog today where I will be chatting about Christmas films. 
Christmas can be a stressful time for some. I find it a stressful time as it's my birthday around this time too. Before I start writing about Christmas movies I thought I might include some jokes since some people like my Halloween Jokes from the Halloween Blog I have done. 

Why did the Christmas turkey form a band?  Because it had drumsticks. As you can see I love telling jokes as they make me feel happy. One of my favourite movies is The Grinch. This movie is about a person who does not like celebrating Christmas and he steals Christmas presents from people's houses. I don’t want to give too much away in case you have not seen this movie. 

Home Alone is a huge favourite of mine. There are 6 Home Alone movies and they are great movies in my opinion. The movie is about Kevin who is accidentally left at home by himself it's such a funny movie to watch with family or friends. Home Alone can be found on Disney Plus if you haven’t seen it.

Elf is also a great movie. It is about a boy named Buddy who sneaks into Santa’s Sack when he delivers Christmas presents to Buddy’s family house. He ends up helping the Elves at the North Pole, he leaves the North Pole on a mission to find his father and make him have Christmas Joy.

Do you have a favourite Christmas Movie? There are so many to choose from. 
Is there a special memory that always reminds you of Christmas?

My advice if you are stressing about Christmas is to just breathe as it will be okay. Remember it is the thought that counts not the cost. 

Let's finish with another joke. 

What did Santa say at the start of the race?  Ready set Ho Ho Ho – Scarlett
 
 
 
It’s that time of the year to sing and spread joy all around, it’s December and Christmas is soon upon us, time to get gifts and organise your family trips. This year however my family and I are not going anywhere as were inviting all of our family members for Christmas lunch, this year we are doing Disney themed again as it was popular last year.

My brother and I are going to be cooking up some delicious treats for example, homemade gingerbread and Mickey Mouse reindeers. My grandma is bringing the traditional truffle and pavlova and my sister and her partner are bringing the prawns, you can’t have Christmas without prawns, well at least in Australia.

 I brought something special for this year’s festive drinks, it’s called Potion Floss and they have a few  sparkly colours to choose from, Snow globe, Love potion, and Liquid gold. The snow globe looks like iridescent snowflakes while love potion looks like a potion out of Harry Potter, and I guess you can tell what liquid gold looks like.

Every year after boxing day I either go up to see my boyfriend's family, or he comes down to stay with me, so he will be staying with me for a few weeks, who knows we might stay in Melbourne for a couple days - Holly
 
 
It's that time of year my friends... 
 
Hello festive friends, 
Ah Christmas, don’t you just love this this time of year?  
 
I know that there are going to be people saying yes, no or maybe to their computer screens right now, possibly out loud (that’s right I see you) and I just want you to know that there is no right or wrong answer. This is a safe place for all answers and know that all people with different ideas to bring to the table are welcome. There is no hate here.  
 
I don’t know if I like Christmas or not, but I do know that I seem to notice a lot more people being a cotton headed ninny muggins and showing unkind behavior. So here I am sending out a reminder to be empathetic towards our fellow humans and kill them with kindness. (not literally or you might find yourself in a bit of trouble).
 
Role modeling is important also, we need to role model kindness and empathy for others to follow our example. Just treat others like you would want to be treated, with dignity, kindness and respect. Especially people who are working in retail, hospitality and anywhere really. They don’t deserve to be treated badly for any reason and they will go home and tell their loved ones about you and is that how you want to be remembered?  
 
Whether it be in person, online, on the phone or in a letter/card always choose kindness. This time of year can be a lot but you just need to take a moment and say “what would I want if it was me?” You also need to be kind to yourself and remember that you are loved and deserve love, kindness, respect and dignity. 
 
 JUST. BE. KIND. 
Merry Christmas, Happy December or whatever you celebrate  
Be safe my friends  - Shan 
 
 
 
Christmas Day with Jess 
 
Hello friends, come on a journey with me to my house on how we spend Christmas Day. We get together with the family and my fiancé Robert joins us on that day. Everyone brings food to share. I supply the nibbles. We have different meat dishes and salads.
 
My most favourite part of the day is watching my nephews and nieces faces when they open up their presents. I love seeing what I get given, but it’s the intention that counts.  Having someone to think of you warms my heart.
 
Merry Christmas everyone and happy new year to you all.
 
Interesting facts about big man in red…
 
Where did Santa Claus come from? The Dutch are responsible with transporting the legend of St. Nicholas to New Amsterdam (now New York City), along with the custom of giving gifts and sweets to children on his feast day, which is December 6.
 
How old is Santa?  My research says he is currently 1752 years old.
Jess C
 
 
The history of Christmas and the true meaning of Christmas.

I know many of you think that spending time with family and opening presents is the meaning of Christmas, but if you have any faith based religion you may realise the first word “Christ”, is in Christmas. 

The true story of Christmas is the birth of Jesus.  Christmas truely begun if you have any faith based religion in your family you may know the true story. What I am telling you about Christmas, to me, is not just spending time with family or opening presents for me it’s more around were my religion.  Church is very important to me.


I know that there are many miracles happen at this time of year.  The best example is, I was born two days after Christmas as I am my parents little miracle.

Did you know that Santa has a darker side, and legend has it that his name was Krampus and that he would abduct naughty children. It is a good way to make sure kids behave themselves.  
 
I most look forward to Christmas and the two Christmas’ I get to enjoy every year.  With my family and my extended family.  – Phillip

Christmas is a Christian celebration and tradition that I was brought up with all my life. Christmas has a real special meaning to me.  I am a Christian even though I don’t go to church at the moment but in the future I hope to start going back to church. There is a church in Seaford that I have a strong connection to, it is called Fire. Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Jesus. 
 
My most favourite part is the Christmas Tree, the decorations, lights and putting the Christmas tree lights and Christmas decorations up.  I love decorating the Christmas Tree and seeing all the Christmas presents and Christmas cards.  
I love seeing my dogs lie down by the Christmas tree. 
 
I also really love all the Christmas Carols and Christmas movies but my most favourite Christmas movies are Santa Claus and National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. 
 
I also really love spending time with my Dad and I really love going to Christmas parties.  Spending time with all my friends means the world to me and I really love when the weather is hot on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.  I love waking up on Christmas morning and opening up presents. I love having a bacon and eggs with fried mushrooms and grilled tomatoes, Christmas lunch and Christmas dinner with Christmas plum pudding and Christmas Chocolate pudding and Christmas cake, short breads and lots of yummy food.
 
I really really love Christmas and I look forward to it every single year.
My favourite decorations are the Angel, Star Snow Flake, Swan, Fairy, Sea Horse Dolphin, Dove, Butterfly, Bell, Reindeer, Owl, and Elf.
I hope you all enjoyed reading my blog - Gipsy

​I’m inspired by…
 
This week we share our inspiration though people. There are so many people who we can be inspired by for so many different reasons. Our bloggers have shared their views here today.
 
 
I like work on the Disability Matters radio show with Daz from RadioVoice and sometimes the crazy one Cindy from Umbrella Support. I like to talk about everything because it makes me feel better and relax. Daz has been awesome to work with in radio because he does great  work and I like listening to music of course! - TJ 
 
 
Today’s topic is:  Who inspires me?
 
 Hello my friends for me it’s my mum, my mumma, bear and the reason why is simple. She is a hard worker, she is always there for me and my siblings, nieces and nephews, especially during our dads illness. She managed to support my dad when he was at his worst with the cancer, while still being a mother and nanna to us all. 
 
How would I describe my mum?
 
·       Her personality is warm and she loves to laugh
·       She is trustworthy and has a great smile
·       Caring for her family and friends in all situations
·       Kindness. She is always there for us no matter what is happening in her life
·       She’s tough. She takes no rubbish especially regarding my dad and his medical appointments
·        Respectful of others
·       Loyal friend and confidant
·       Strong and independent  
·       Hard worker always puts her family friends and work colleagues before herself
·       Faces challenges with a positive attitudes
 
My mother is an amazing person who inspires me to be the best people my siblings and I can be.
 
LOVE YOU MUM – Jess.
 
 
Sometimes you just need to write and see where the words take you... 

Hello Friends!  
 
Writer's block is no joke! I had a topic and a person to write about, but I just wasn’t getting it done and do you know how frustrating that is?  
 
Eventually I decided that I'd just start writing and see how I went. Much like going on a reality TV show, which Georgia love was on. The second season of the Bachelorette (Georgia's season) aired on the 21st September 2016 on channel 10 and the best part of the whole show was that she chose Lee (the guy with the donkey!). I would like to point out that I haven't committed to watching another season of the bachelorette since Georgia's season, obviously hers was the best.  
 
Georgia and Lee got married in March 2021 and it was a beautiful Tasmanian wedding. They have a cat together named Pawdrey and I love that she just gets to live her best cat life with cat parents that adore her. They also live in a house together somewhere in Australia, obviously they are entitled to their privacy and let's not be posting peoples addresses on public forums.  
 
Now to the why I chose to write about Georgia apart from having a brilliant work ethic with many projects and her own sleepwear line, she is the Pancare foundations national ambassador and is a pancreatic cancer advocate. Her mum lost her battle to pancreatic cancer in 2016 after a six-month battle. Georgia wants to bring awareness to the disease and to do something good for those like herself and her family.
 
I admire the strength she had for going through what she did with her mum and for doing all she can to help others like herself.  
 
Did I mention she chose the guy with the donkey? 
 
Have a wonderful day friends and look after the ones you love,  - Your friend, Shan  
 
 
 
Someone who inspires me? Hmm let’s see there’s the family, the boyfriend, fiends…so hard to choose someone. I guess I’ll choose my friend Jay, or better known on his twitch, JayTeeDawg.

We met at the end of 2019 through mutual friends on Vrchat and roleplay groups. He makes me smile and laugh with his clueless demeanor, but he means well and we explain to him stuff he gets confused about but honestly, he is very sweet and kind and deserves all the love and attention, he works so hard to make a career out of his internet sensation, he’s just that bubble of joy and his energy is warming and calming that attracts everyone.

He helps me with topics and he listens and vice versa for him to me, he asks me for recommendations about what to do and how he should go about it. I helped him come out of the shell and in return he helps me from my insecurities, I couldn’t ask for a better friend than him and I’m so glad I met him, besides he just turned 18 last week and it was a big milestone for him and his friends and fanbase, which means bigger goals in store for him and it'll only go up from here. – Holly
 
 

Welcome to our blog today. I am speaking about someone who inspires me and has helped me  lots..
 
It happens to be Cindy. 

She inspires me every day to get out of bed, to challenge myself and to be the best human I can be. By her smile and the way she acts around others. We share so many interests and have so much in common like radio, words searches and 80s music. 

She teaches me things others can’t and she has helped me overcome my fears and has helped me to step out of my comfort zone, she has helped me handle change too and she has taught me to be grateful for what you have and what others don't have . She very understanding when somebody is not feeling like themselves. Cindy is always there for the team no matter what happens, or what is happening.

Her personality is calm, friendly, and hilarious. No matter what, she treats people with kindness and respect. She makes me feel safe, happy and excited for my next chapter in life.

Nothing is a issue and everybody has the confidence to speak to her about anything.
She has helped me learn radio skills and she even is my co-host on Disablity Matters once a month on The Buzzz radio. www.thebuzzz.com.au

She has helped me get work placement and my first employment too.
If you need a support worker who is understanding kind calm and terrific Cindy is definitely the person to work with.

She is the best support worker in my opinion and loads of people would agree with me too! – Scarlett.
 
 
Real super powers and fictional super powers inspire me.
You may believe that superpowers aren’t real but think again.
Intelligence (ie above IQ professor’s): Stephen Hawking
Magic and escapology (ie historical Witches,Wizards): Gregori Rasputin

Manipulation is a form of ability that magicians can use and there is also Celebrity Manipulation/fame Manipulation 
Fun fact fame can get into the minds of celeb Psychically  
Future control technology : I keep on seeing future tech on the news a lot.

They are real super powers and they inspire me - Phillip

​The things that make me different are the things that make me, ME!
 
We were inspired by a quote we “stole from the internet” for this weeks blog! It’s okay to sometimes “steal” things from the internet as it’s free to look and gather information for so many different reasons.
 
So may we enlighten you to “The things that make me different are the things that make me, ME”!
 
 
“Things that make me different are the things that me, Me” – Piglet, Winnie The Pooh. 
Hello Friends,  
 
Have you ever sat down and thought about what makes you, you? For me it's easier to have someone else tell me about me. But here I go giving this a go for the sake of blogging. I have many little quirks that make me Shan, obviously for this it's all positive and all love.  
 
The most important part of me is my brain. I am neurodiverse and that is my superpower, I bring a different perspective to the table (probably snacks too) and a lot of kindness because that’s what we need in this world. A different perspective and a bucketload of kindness.  
 
I try to always be kind to all my friends and when I say all my friends this includes ALL beings I come across. Snails, stick insects, the dog from down the road and it also includes in animate objects for example a bag or plastic plant. My kindness has no limits!  
 
I like to collect all kinds of things one of my collections I have is a coin collection and I guess you could say I am a collector of books. All kinds of books too. I do have favorites but it’s a long list and we don’t have the room. This is a shared space after all.  
 
I love to learn, if something sparks my interest, I will learn everything I can about it and then tell everyone little facts about whatever it is. It might be because someone's brought it up or I've just kindly volunteered the information because sharing is caring. Fun bit of information; “Hurkle-Durkle” is an old dialect term from the 18th century, I believe it’s from southern Scotland and it means to lounge around in bed long after you should have gotten out of bed.  
 
I feel that it is important to believe in something and that something for me is Unicorns. Like humans they come in all shapes, sizes and colours. We should always be accepting of all unicorns and humans no matter what and this is an important part of me as well, I believe that no matter our shape, size or colour we should be accepted. Unicorns I believe are always welcoming and accepting. There is just something so magical and free about Unicorns that makes me happy. I will forever be team Unicorns are real and no one can change my mind.  
 
I am a Disney princess at heart who also loves Tesla's, Lego, Delta Goodrem and Sparkly converse. I'm mad for the lion king, if you haven't watched the lion king, please do so ASAP! I have my heart set on learning all about the tech side of a tesla and I will build whatever Lego set I can get my hands on as long as I have somewhere to keep it. Delta Goodrem is a beautiful human with the voice of an angel. Shes an Absolut Queen! Sparkly Converse shoes are my happy place, you just can't not smile while wearing them.  
 
You could also find me at the sewing machine, I make scrunchies and all kinds of creative things, oh look at that we can add creative to my list of things about me.  
To sum this all up I am different and that’s okay because we all are and that my dear friends is AMAZING! 
Have a wonderful day! 
Your Friend Shan.

Top nine facts about Phillip C
I am half Australian and part British.
Even though I was born in Australia, I have British charm.
I have researched  both my Australian and British heritage and both go back a long way.
My last name is not from Australia but it’s from Ireland.
I found the meaning of the name Phillip, and it is quite analytical and sensible in nature, he is capable of achieving many things in life and in a spiritual form.
I have an attractive personality and a magnetic charm. I am also smart
 and humorous. I like to show off my skills to the people around me
My characteristics are: Spiritual, Intellectual Analytical/Sceptical.
 
Do you have a Phillip in your life and is he like me and what qualities does he have? – Phillip.
 
 
The things that make ME, ME!
 
I am a very artistic person and my singing, dancing, modelling, acting, script writing and book writing is big huge part of me since I was little girl. I have lots of interests that are very important to me such as UfO aliens and the super natural spiritual topics that I was brought up with as a child. I love dogs and I was also brought up with dogs. Now I have my own dogs that I love very much.
 
I have been living with a personality disorder, compulsive obsessive disorder and an intellectual disability since I was tiny little girl. My personality disorder affects me in these ways and my intellectual disability affects me understanding learning, academics and comprehension is a lot harder for me to retain information and process information but it has not been a bad thing it is just learning how to live with my disabilities. 

​Accepting and embracing my personality disorder and intellectual disability has helped me so much to move on 
with my life and over the years. 
 
I saw an interview with Dylan Alcott. He said in his interview to embrace and accept your disability. His words really helped and inspired me to move on. I am doing so much better and my confidence has helped me in my every day life. I am very grateful for seeing that interview with Dylan Alcott and from his words I learnt a lot.
 
Me as a person. That makes me, ME!  I always dream about having my own in ground swimming pool that I have always really dreamed of. I also really love dolphins and the water.
 
I am a very kind person and very compassionate and I am very determined, fussy, stubborn, funny at times and a bite crazy.
Thank you for reading. - Gipsy

We have so much to share and by saying “we” I mean everybody! If we think about our lives and how much we have achieved and experienced, we could blog forever!!
 
This week our talented bloggers will enlighten you with something that they would like to share from their past, present or, something they look forward to in the future…
 
In the future I may get my own house and own car so it’s part of my life. Maybe even a future wife. Everything is fine with me and we need save up our money to make us cool down and relax. – TJ
 
 A day to remember - The wedding of my older sister Lisa to Bob on the 10th of August 2010 at a lovely resort in Thailand. My whole family were in Thailand for the wedding even my Nana with her broken arm.
 
 A few days before, the wedding  we had a Hens Day for Lisa, which was a lot of fun.
 
The morning of the BIG DAY the girls gathered for breakfast before getting ready. Our dresses had been purchased in Melbourne and were a beautiful blue colour. My younger sister Sarah, my cousin Bec and myself were the bridesmaids. Our hair and makeup were done for us at the resort. It was a lot of fun and lots of laughter. Lisa looked stunning in her beautiful white dress and so did the bridesmaids! When it was time for the wedding it began to rain so we had to move inside.
 
We had a baby elephant walk her down the aisle, it was adorable. The wedding service was amazing and so beautiful. We had to have photos inside due to the weather but it didn’t spoil it. The reception was in the resort and we partied all night. It was the most romantic day and I will never forget it. It was a honour to be a part of the big day. 
 
Have you been a part of wedding? 
 What is Thailand known for in history? 
Thailand and its jungles, mountains, islands,
 
Thailand is a Southeast Asian country. It's known for tropical beaches. - Jess C
 
 
What will our world look like in the future? 

Hello Friends, 

Our world will always be changing and evolving, and we can never be 100% sure of what the future will bring. Our future world is currently left to our imaginations, world leaders will make promises for the future, scientist's will make calculations and research for the future world and children will grow to be the future.  

Now I'm going to jump into my opinions and beliefs here. All my opinions and beliefs are my own and meant always in the kindest way possible, now that’s said let’s get into it.  

I believe everything that we do in the present will affect the world in the future. This is part of the reason why it's so important to be conscience of our attitudes and actions towards looking after our home. You can't change the past however we can change the path we take in the future. So, we look at what we are doing, look at the person in the mirror, ask “how can I do better?” and change the way we are doing things. I think EVERYONE including myself can always do better.  

I’d like to leave this world better than I when I found it (obviously I didn’t discover earth I'm just saying). We need to remember that this is what we will pass on to the next generations, so let's not turn this planet into a dumpster fire because that’s just a little bit rude.  

I don’t believe that I will have children because I don’t want them (side note: when people say this, they are not offering you a challenge). I do like to think of the children of others who will inherit this world from us, I want them to have the best, most amazing experiences this life has to offer which includes a peaceful, clean, safe, welcoming and hospitable world.  
So basically, I hope that our future will be a positive and bright one, that we find ways to solve conflicts in a slightly more peaceful way and become a kinder, more considerate world. 

Thank you for reading my blog, I hope you have an amazing day and remember you are loved.  Your friend  Shan. 
 
 
Hello my sensational and wonderful readers!

My name is Angelina and today I’m going to talk about ONE special day to remember. Remembrance Day is actually very important because we remember all the Air force, Navy and Army heroes who have fought in wars for many years for our nation.  
 
At school we wore poppies and we had to purchase the poppies. The money raised goes to the RSL to help returned service men and women. Although we didn’t have a service at 11am a memorial service is held and people remember fallen soldiers. The last post is played and a minute of silence. These services are held all over the country but generally at the RSL Cenotaph. 
 
People wear poppies to remember those who have died or suffered in wars and conflicts. There are not only red poppies which are called the Flanders poppy, but there are other colours for e.g. purple is for the animals, white is for the nurses and the black poppy represents all those who have died during the war or after. 
 
How do you feel about Remembrance Day? 

Have you ever attended a service? 
 
LEST WE FORGET – Angelina
 
 
The Future 

You may have heard the term past, present, and the future. The start of my future lies on next Friday with my meeting plan about supported independent living for me so I can choose both who I can live with and were I want to live. The start of my future lies within next year with my extra day of work for me. This gives me more money on the side. The start of my future lies within my placement hours at Amstel. I am excited about working there in the kitchen and to support my Umbrella Support mates as well. This helps me plan to run my own food business which will be called “Eat Healthy, Spend Less”
 
This my future. 
 In your future what are you going to achieve? – Phillip
 
 
My Future
 
For my future I will be concentrating on saving money and trying my best with finances for my needs and emergencies. In my recent past I have been very irresponsible with my finances and now I am trying to put my irresponsible ways behind me.
I am also concentrating on my singing, song writing, podcasting, blogging writing, my psychic development and looking forward to doing new exciting things.

Working on my mental health, anxiety, my wellbeing, my physical health, losing weight, being more positive and patient with myself are also my goals.

Next year I would really like look at doing some jazz ballet lessons, acting lessons, photographic modelling, modelling photos and script writing.
 
There is something very important to me and that is to write a book on UFO’s and alien life, it is something I have been  really wanting do of for quite some time. 
 
I would love to see  America including Disneyland, Alaska, The Northern Lights and Egypt. They are my most favourite places but I am scared of flying.
 
Thank you for  reading my blog. 
See you soon – Gypsy
 
 
 
Last week I went on my first holiday without my family and it was so good. I am proud of myself. I handled it all so well. Each night I facetimed my family which made it much easier. I took Jeff ( the Umbrella bear) for a journey and boy did he have a great time. 

We caught taxis to all our venues it was so easy. We had vouchers to help reduce the price. We went to all the theme parks, Movie World, Sea World, Wet and Wild Dreamworld.

The first time we went to Movie World we rode the Joker pink roller coasters, Superman ride, Green lantern ride and I did a ride which scared me a tiny bit, it shoots up fast and it’s so much fun. Jeff did a carousel ride for the first time and loved it.  

The next day we went to Wet and Wild which is a waterpark. Waterparks are so fun especially on the hot days. The weather was perfect on the Gold Coast.
 
We did all the waterslides even one called Mammoth Falls it was so cool, I rode the ride backwards a couple of times.

My friend and I then had a rest day as we were going to the footy. We played mini golf a couple of times and uno the card game, it was a very relaxing day. Saturday Night we went to Heritage Stadium it was Gold Coast Suns girls vs Sydney Swans girls playing. We were sitting with the Senior Swans men’s players James Rowbottom, Callum Mills, Tom Hickey and many more. We were spotted on TV a couple of times during the game, it was good to see so many people supporting both teams. The Swans took home the win and were playing their first final series this year.

The next day we went to Sea world, it was better than I expected. I did a wooden roller coaster called Leviathan it was so good and it’s fast I also did the Storm Coaster roller coaster that you get wet when you go down into a cave. The queues were not too bad during the day. We even saw some pelicans as we walked in the area they are kept in. I saw my favourite animals which are polar bears, I even got a keyring it is so cute and have glitter on it. We even check out Nickelodeon land where there are loads of kids rides and we saw the Teenage Ninja Turtles while we were there and they did some cool poses.

On Monday I went to Dreamworld which is a great park especially if you find crowds overwhelming on that day it was so quiet when we went on the rides and it was that’s the best feeling. We did the steel taipan roller caster a couple of times. It was a great and I even did a motorbike ride it was fast me and my friend did a different pose on each rides. I got a photo with holding a koala which is a great memory to have, we also rode the vintage cars, and even did this ride called the claw that swings forward and back it was cool. My friend finished with the giant drop this one I was too scared to do but at least I have done it once.

On Tuesday we did all the rides we did on the first time again we even did wild west falls four times as the lines was short we watched the all-star parade where all the characters come out like Scooby doo, the Looney Tunes characters, Joker, Batman, the DC superheroes and Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz.

As you can see this was a great experience I would love to do it again Jeff loved sitting on my lap during the planes rides we watched loads of movies on the plane like Annie and into the woods. They were also listening to music too. - Scarlett

This week our bloggers were very keen on a few different topics and there was a lot of discussion. We couldn’t decide on a single topic so, we decided on our “free” writing day! It’s choose your own adventure!
 
Enjoy!
 
HELLO FRIENDS, 
For this month's choose your own adventure blog I'm going to write about “choose your own adventure” books. You know the ones that have the choices at the bottom of the page with the page numbers to turn to... for example: “to continue down this path turn to page 35” and it will have a second and sometimes a third choice and their page numbers. I would read the twist-a-plot books, I think there were about 13 of these books with all different stories. These books would throw me through a loop, I didn’t realize that these books existed, and my choices would usually get my characters in some sort of trouble. 
I think these books must have been interesting to write for the authors and hats off to the editors. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the books, and they were brilliantly written I just would love to be in the room when these books were written and edited. I feel like it would be a fun, interesting and probably a completely chaotic process. Imagine writing a book and having to plan for all the different outcomes in the story and making sure everything is placed in the book just right so that it still makes sense and flows nicely. It may feel like I’m rambling on but it’s just such a interesting concept to me.  
In our real life we get to choose our own adventures and learn all the fun lessons along the way and I think like life the books teach you that with every choice there is a consequence, every action a reaction. Just unfortunately for me none of my real-life choices have let me into a pot of gold... YET. Wouldn’t that be nice?  
Remember that you are in charge of your own adventure, wether it be in a choose your own adventure book or in reality and you can always choose a different direction. Our lives are just like books, something new on each page and there’s always a fresh chapter with new and exciting things waiting for us. Maybe today you’ll choose to read a twist-a-plot book or maybe you’ll make a big life decision whatever it is I’m proud of you and I support you!  
Have a wonderful adventure  
Shan  
 
 
Today’s blog is about my dog 
 
My dog is always in my room when my mum and dad are away. I am the one who takes care of her and lets her out because sometimes she needs to go to the toilet. I always feed my dog and sometimes I will walk with my dog. My dog breed is a small poodle, her name is Keira and she is a cute black dog. She is kind of the old lady in my house. My dog and I have been together for 12 years and I love her. – TJ
 
 
This week it’s a mix of different things as today we are all doing our own topic, this week I have chosen to talk about a show I have been watching with my boyfriend and the recommendation along with it.
The show is called Lucifer and all of its seasons are on Netflix right now, Lucifer is about the literal devil himself taking a break from hell in Los Angeles alongside with his favorite torturer demon Mazikeen, he runs a nightclub named Lux and parties all night relaxing until an incident occurs and he has to help a local detective find justice and punish the evil doers.
 The show takes us into the lives of Lucifer and the Detective named Chloe with a string of crime and murder happening with her daily job. Lucifer eventually gains trust in Chloe and he becomes her civilian consultant in cases. 
This show is both sarcastically funny and drama filled with family problems, fun fact this show is also part of the DC Universe – Holly
 
Today we were told “it’s free choice”” well I hit a brick wall! 
What to write about? I went for a walk to find ideas and guess what I decided - UMBRELLA SUPPORT and what it means to me, it is a great way to learn NEW SKILLS and I have learnt the following. 
 
1 Blogging 
2 Social skills 
3 Talking to others especially in front of a group 
4 How to meet new people 
5 Over coming fears about unknown situations  
 6 Dealing with changes 
7 Believing in myself
 
I could talk for so long about this group, they are wonderful caring friends who always give you support. We are so lucky to have an amazing support team lead by Cindy along with Jessy, Deni, Delia, Keirra and recently Krystle and Sheridan 
They mean so much to me.
 
Do you have a special group or a friend that is there for you and gives you support? If you do how lucky are you! I know I am to have made great friendships since 15th March 2021 with this organisation. 
 Love from Jess 
 
 
Hi dear readers! I’m back after my mum’s wedding! Woohoo! 
In today’s blog I’m going to be telling you all about my mum’s wedding due to me not being here last week. 
My mum's wedding was absolutely incredible and a magical moment in my whole entire life because honestly it was! I love them both so much because they both make me smile when I see them both happy together. They were both meant for each other always.
I love weddings, do you love weddings? 
You might be wondering what did I do at the wedding?
Well, it was amazing and magical because my mum was a beautiful bride with a beautiful dress. She looked on point and stunning (as always) and I love the man whom she got married to.
I love my life because they both make me happy.
thank you for following my life journey right now, thanks for listening. – Angelina
 
 
Just think about how if you could go back into your family history and discovered there was Royals. You could trace back in your ancestors and they might be related to the royals as an example. When you watch the show (who do you think you are) the English actor Danny Dyer has Royal ancestors.
 
There are lots of royalties in pop culture’s such as in Disney and non-Disney movies. 
Not many countries have Royal’s such as Israel are the best example due to their prophets they don’t have monarchy and they don’t have royal’s because they considered God as their King. Both Europe and Asia have Royals there have been another 10 countries abolished both the Royals and monarchy. There is a thin line that I have royalty in my family history 
 
Do you have hidden royals in your family history? – Phillip
 
 
Last week I chose the topic of my year 12 graduation.
 
Please bear with me. I know I have been writing about it for three weeks.
This year I'm in year 12 at high school. I am so excited to be graduating  from school. It has been an exciting and interesting year at school. I already got my jumpsuit outfit which is a beautiful dark purple colour called grape and I got off a website called JJ’s house. I ordered my jumpsuit last month and it arrived last Monday.
 
I am getting the bottom of my outfit altered because it is too long and I can’t wait to wear it on my graduation night.
 
I’m bringing my books home next week. For me it means that it is the end of school and no more studying for me this year.
 
Finishing year 12 is a big achievement. I should be proud of myself and I’m looking forward to next year. Do you remember when you graduated from school or are you graduating from school this year? – Charlotte
 
Mystical means a spiritual mystery, psychic belief.
 
I believe in Angels, Fairies, mermaids and unicorns _ Do you believe in the mystical?
For me I can see and feel them especially when I am at the beach it's my calm safe place or when I am at home and it's quiet. Do you have a special place ?
 
I have some psychic abilities which are picking up on my inner spiritual and entities talking to me since I was a little girl and some are my best friends that I still talk to each day and my spirit guides and Angel guides talk to me and protect me. 

My psychic abilities also include…
Seeing shadows
Seeing shadows around people
Seeing auras around people 

I really strongly believe my spirit guides are 
Angels 
Fairies 
Mermaids 
Unicorns 
Astrol Body Spirit Guides (Spirit Guides)
 
I am also very big believer of animal spirit guides; I really strongly believe and feel that my animal spirit guides are:
Dolphins 
Dogs
Koala Bears 
Wolfs 
Bears 
Panda Bears

Crystals are very spiritual calming and healing. The clear quarts is the king of crystals and the amethyst is the queen of crystals and I have lots crystals that I love very much that I cannot part from.
The universe is surrounded by the stars and the sky and are a really big, massive spiritual place. My most favourite spiritual mystical colour is Purple and my favourite colour is Purple. I am a very spiritual. Are you a mystical person?  Gipsy 

MUSIC!! It entertains us, it can help us relax, it can change our mood and it can bring so much joy! Our bloggers this week share their wonderful world of music. This is yet again a great read…
 
This week it’s time to sing and scream out as we talk or better yet sing about this week’s topic music, so this week I’m going to talk about my favorite musical that my boyfriend introduced me to and saw with him, Hamilton. Hamilton is about the American revolutionary war and the founding fathers of America but mostly about Alexander Hamilton.
This music was made and composed by Lin-Manuel Miranda. This musical has won multiple awards like the Tony awards for best musical and a Grammy for best for best musical theater album. The Broadway musical has been going on since 2015 when it premiered back in January 2015.
This musical is currently in Hamburg in Germany right now. You can currently watch the musical movie on Disney plus. The songs are so catchy and easy to sing along side and the acting and the history is worth watching this musical, it has drama and tragedy and humor, this musical is part history part rap and the productions is amazing to watch and work the stage, part of the stage has a moving center in the middle to replicate walking dancing and practical movement needed for this musical, especially the gun battles and a popular song in the play called Hurricane.
This play is also about taking a chance to change the way we think about our future and our legacy. – Holly
 
 
HELLO FRIENDS, 
In the past week when mentioning Meg Mac, I've had people say, “who’s that?” or something along those lines. I assume usually that because I listen to Meg Mac or Thelma Plum that everyone else has heard of them too. Not everyone will deep dive into Australian music and the musical talents that we bring to the table, shout out to anyone who has. Sometimes it’s a pure coincidence that you stumble across a great musician.  
I found out about Meg Mac through a friend of mine, she would have “never be” by Meg Mac playing in the car. Then I went and found more of Meg Macs songs to listen to and fell down the rabbit hole of Meg Macs music. I just love her unique voice and the way she takes you on a journey with her music.  
 I spend a lot of time talking about Delta Goodrem, I know you all know who Delta Goodrem is. Shes been mentioned a few times in at least two blogs. Delta brought Thelma Plum on her show Christmas with Delta to sing “Have Yourself a Merry Christmas” with her, seeing and hearing them sing together was beautiful. Thelma is another artist with a unique voice, I love her sound but also love the way she performs.  
All three artists are authentically themselves when they perform and sing, which is beautiful to see, and I love that they are Australian. Obviously, I love other singers too but it's so very important to celebrate our artists here in Australia, they are people that work so hard to bring us joy and make us feel.  
Let's all find a new Australian artist to listen to and discover. Also remembering all the Australian artists that we know and love! 
Have a wonderful day my friends – Shan - x   
 
 
 
Hello welcome to our blog today. Scarlett and Jess have decided to do their blog together as they both had the same topic - The  Wiggles!
 
The Wiggles started in 1991 in Sydney with four members Greg, Murray Anthony, and Jeff. They all had their own colours. The idea came from Anthony who wanted to write a children’s album. At the time he was studying to be a teacher. 
 
They commenced tours around Australia and they even had wiggly mascots Dorothy the Dinosaur, Henry the Octopus, Wags the Dog, and Captain Feathersaw. Later they grew into a large band and had backup dancers. They often perform at Dreamworld on the Gold Coast. 



SCARLETT’S VIEW

The Wiggles make me feel in the mood for dancing whenever I hear any of their songs. I remember laying on the couch when I was little watching the Wiggles on VHS tape. Some of the songs they have written are Fruit Salad, Monkey Dance, Toot Toot Chugga Big Red Car, Hot Potato, and Crocodile Hunter with Steve Irwin. They are great songs and they are great songs to dance to with your family. These day the Wiggles have new members Lachlan, Simon, Tsehay  and Anthony still sings these days. In my opinion, Toot Toot Chuggga Big Red Car is the most popular Wiggle song as it has been heard by loads of people around the world. The Wiggles is one of the most popular childhood bands in Australia. My favourite Wiggle is Greg because he gets the audience involved with the dance moves.



JESS’S VIEW
 
I love the Wiggles because of their colourful outfits. Each member has their own colour. My favourite was the yellow Wiggle which was played by Greg and later by my favourite Wiggle Emma. I remember watching them with my sisters. We loved their songs and would sing along doing the actions to such songs Chugga Chugga Big Red Car, Fruit Salad. Do you have a favourite song?
 
Has our blog produced a childhood memory? 
Did you like the Wiggles and can still sing their songs?
We can!
 
Happy reading and dancing by wake up Jess and Scarlett the dinosaur.
 
 
Last week the topic I chose was High School Musical 3 senior year. Let me start by telling you about the movie HSM (High School Musical). The high school musical 3 senior year the movie was released on the 24th of October in 2008 in the USA. It was filmed in Salt Lake City USA and it was directed by Kenny Oretega. I like It because it talks about the senior students graduating from East High School. I can relate to the movie because I’m graduating from high school this year. I love the songs and I'm excited to be graduating from high school.
 
Have you seen any of the high school musical movies or if you have seen It what is your favourite movie? – Charlotte
 
 
The Voice
Intro: I want to sing for people, I want them to have the music it’s a nice feeling.
Quote by Delta Goodrem 
 
What I think about the voice (music). It is a way to express our inner voice and emotions in both music and songs, what I am telling you next is list of songs that suit my voice 
The songs that suit’s my voice are: Jessie’s girl by rick Springfield. I can relate to this song due to someone that I really like but she is all taken by someone else.
Another song  Angels brought me here by Guy Sebastian I can relate to personally.
If you don’t know Guy was the winner of Australian Idol between this song and Dear Life by Delta Goodrem is a very personal emotional song for me. Do you feel the same? My last song I’ll stand by you by The Pretenders. I love this song because there is someone that I really care about and I want to protect her from any form of harm. 
 
How do you feel about these songs?
Do they stir a memory for You like ME – Phillip
 
 
It's about Gorillaz they are my favourite band. I like all music and it makes me relaxed and it calms me down but sometimes when I turn off my music it makes me easily angry because sometimes the noise around me can get too much for me.
 
The Gorillaz was created by both Damon Albarn and the artist Jamie Hewlett, from London in 1998 the year of the monkey. – TJ
 
 
My most favourite singing star is Britney Spears.
I have always wanted to be a singer and I have been singing since I was a little girl. I remembered when I was four years old girl my mum always told me that I had been making funny singing sounds since I was 2 years of age and she always thought it was really funny. I taught myself how to sing but I never had to push myself, I just new how to sing it just comes to me naturally. I never had the confidence to take it further but now I have made the steps to work on my voice by doing singing lessons so I can record my music and I would really love most of all to record a music album in a recording studio and write my own songs.
 
At the moment it is just the beginning of my song writing lessons.
Song writing is about brain storming and coming up with all different ideas and being in touch with your surroundings, feelings, and self-expression.
Song writing is very different to writing a script or writing a book or journal or a  blog. I find that writing a script and a blog or a journal is so much easier than writing a song but writing a song is all about the learning process and the more you learn the better you get at it.
With writing a song I find that I am to really putting all my thoughts and thinking into it. It can be very challenging but at the same time I am creating music that I will be able to sing and it mean the world to me. 
 
This is first time in my life  that I have taken charge in what I really love the most and has made me the happiest that I have been in my life and one day I really hope to share all my music with the world.
 
Thank You Gipsy

It’s almost spooky time! Is it just me or have you noticed that each year this celebration seems to get bigger and bigger? When I was growing up it wasn’t such a big thing here in Australia but now, WOAH! Walk into Kmart and its EVERYWHERE! Our team have been looking forward to this day for a few weeks now and are looking forward to sharing their thoughts, experiences and research on this very interesting topic of Halloween.
 
Welcome to our blog today where I chat about all the kid-friendly Halloween movies available to watch with the family or loved ones.
 
Before I start telling you about some amazing flicks, I’m going to start with a joke. 
What do you call two witches sharing a apartment?
Broommates!
 
One of my favourite Halloween Movies is Monster House as I’ve watched it since I was a kid and that was a long time ago. Monster House is about two kids playing basketball at their house, a ball accidently rolls across the road to the neighbours garden, the neighbour gets angry when anybody goes into their yard and takes their stuff into their house. They don’t get it back until the end of the movie. 
 
Another one of my favorites is Coraline. Coraline is about a girl who moves house and gets “another mother”. She goes looking around the house and finds a doll that looks exactly like her with button eyes. This doll takes her on adventures at night making her scared of the new house and her “other mother” who wants to sew buttons onto her eyes. 
 
I also love the movie Hotel Transylvania they stay in a hotel for monsters ONLY, as monsters are scared of humans.
 
I also love Toy Story of Terror the movie as this movie brings back memories of watching Toy Story when I was younger. They stay in a hotel when one toy goes missing they try to find their gang to get them all back to the manager at the hotel he finds the toys and tries to sell them on eBay. 
 
Some of the other movies I would recommend are the Adams Family Movies, Casper, Ghostbusters and the Haunted Mansion movie. All these movies are amazing in my opinion. 
 
What is your favourite Halloween Movie ? There are so many to choose from.
 
Let’s finish with another joke to make you smile.
 
What do you call a witch that lives on the beach
A Sand Witch.  
 
Thank you for Reading this Spooky Halloween Blog 

Have Fun Trick And Treating! - Scarlett
 
 
Hello and come on an awesome story of trick or treat. Welcome to the tradition in my family of Halloween. My sister and her two little monkeys love Halloween and even decorate their house in full Halloween style. You’ll see witches, ghosts and more. My sister even decorates the front of her home with carvings of pumpkins, religious crosses and much more. 
 
When we go trick or treating, we make sure to look for houses with balloons on their letterbox and decorations or a front light on.  The kids love everything about Halloween especially the candy!  
 
Fun fact, Halloween has been celebrated in Australia for over 150 years, it isn’t just America. In fact the first recorded celebration was in 1858 in Castlemaine. Halloween had its origins in Scotland and Ireland thousands of years ago. 
 
How do you celebrate Halloween? Do you dress up? 
 
Happy toothless HALLOWEEN 
 
LOVE FROM JESS the Pumpkin,🎃   
 
 
 
This week we will be blogging about Halloween and it’s genre so I’ve decided to talk about one of my favorite tv shows related to the spooky season (but I watch it anytime). The show is called Ghost Adventures, It follows a group of paranormal investigators trying to show proof of the supernatural and abnormal entities in many locations famous for its hauntings.

The show is run by Zak Bagans, Aaron Goodwin and Nick Groff but he resigned after 2014. The ghost adventure team started in 2008 and is currently on its 25th season which is quite amazing for that long. I love this show because along with spooky findings the guys themselves are hilarious. One of their own especially Zak, loves investigating these ghost and findings but guess what? He is afraid of heights, snakes and clowns, surprising right?

They spend a full night locked up in these haunted places to investigate the following paranormal activity and yes literally they get locked up from going outside and running away from fears of the unknown, I would highly recommend watching this show as it is funny and interesting along with some goofy adult men screaming like pansies. – Holly
 
This year’s Halloween is held on Tuesday 31st of October 2023. 

 You might be asking when did we start celebrating Halloween and why? 

Halloween was first celebrated around 2,000 years ago, when Celtic people in Europe celebrated the end of the harvest and the start of a new year in a festival called Samhain, the Halloween origins which held on November 1. 

Do you celebrate or join in celebrating Halloween?  For me and my family we don’t celebrate Halloween but I do see other families trick or treating and dress up in costumes.  

I was asked if I dressed up what would I wear? I would wear Wednesday Adams from the Adams family because I have watched all season 1 episodes from Wednesday and all the movies from Adams family. It is a really good show and movies. 

Do you have a favourite character you would dress up as and why? 

At the shops I see so much Halloween things and it doesn’t bother me because I’m just not into it but for those who are do you like seeing those kids dressed up trick or treating?  For me I like seeing kids happy and living life and doing something that they like to do.   

How do you feel about Halloween? 

Do you like Halloween or do you just not care? Angelina.
 
It's HALLOWEN!!

This week we are talking about Halloween and my family and friends have already had a party! We had a Halloween dinner and eyeball Halloween ice cream. We had spiders made of chocolate too. 

I dressed up in ghost face mask and Halloween clothes with a long black cloak and boots.  

We will have another party with red colour blood drink. My little brother loves Halloween and is dressing up as Sonic the Hedgehog. He loves the movies and the show and the blue outfit. 

I love to see the houses with Halloween decorations like spider webs, black bats and blood handprints. 

I am excited for trick or treating, and I have a trick ready to go in case you say "trick!" 
Happy Halloween everybody! TJ
 
Hello Friends,  
 
SPOOKY SEASON IS APON US!  
 
What does everyone do for Halloween?  
 
I usually watch Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas because I love that movie so much because it's so very different to the usual Disney movies and it can be a Halloween movie or a Christmas Movie. (Yes, I also watch it at Christmas time as well). 
 
This Halloween I have decided I am going to shake it up a bit and I'm going to watch Disney's new movie Haunted Mansion. It's come out on Disney Plus and I’m both excited and scared about it. Watching movies on Halloween is something I like to do because it makes me happy and hopefully this year's choice of movie doesn’t change that.  
 
I like to think that Halloween can be a great opportunity for some self-care! If you're not feeling like going out or joining the trick or treaters and their parents, then it’s a great time for some- you time!  
Do whatever makes you happiest, there is an abundance of spooky themed skin care products online, you could do some online shopping, hang out with your fur babies (or non-fur babies), there are also lots of pet costumes too, make some spooky drinks, have a self-care date and make yourself dinner. The ideas are endless honestly. You can get on Google and get some inspiration too! 

I will watch a movie as I said, make myself a treat bag, cuddle up with my bubble tea plush and my Minnie mouse weighted plush and just enjoy the night.  
 
 
HAPPY SPOOKY SEASON! 
 
Just as an extra bit here; I started this blog post with no idea what I was going to write and ended up with a great little writing piece so for anyone who might be struggling to get stuff done, take a breather, drink some water and try again. You are only human.  – Shan
 
 
 The true story of Halloween (Samhain).  Can you believe Halloween isn’t originally an American Pagan in heritage.  It is Irish Pagan.
Before you read this I need you to believe in something about the true meaning of Halloween. 
Samhain is the celebration between living and the dead (or, the undead) and before Dracula was born, there was an Irish vampire named Abhartach. A fun fact about Abhartach is his grave is real, it is at the very back of the Slaghtaverty Dolmen Cemetery, in Northern Ireland. It is referred to as the Giants Grave.  His character inspired Bram Stoker’s novel, Dracula. Another fact here is that Bram Stoker was Irish, as is Halloween itself.
 
You may have heard about Merlin who is a Celtic Druid. Druids were the people who started Samhain, which we refer to as Halloween. They started ancient Irish pagan ritual’s, such as Bonfire. These were used to help the dead Passover in to afterlife. You may have heard of Passover within Judaism, the Jewish celebrate this. 
 
That’s what I love about history, is that all times and places are interconnected.  – Phillip
 
 
Happy Halloween! Last week I chose to write about the Witch Trials of Salem.
 
The trials started between early 1692 and mid 1693, about 300 years ago now.  300 years  ago there were  two witches  who  were mother and  daughter.  Sarah Good and Sarah Orsborne were their names.  They were actual witches that were tortured, hanged, buried alive for witchcraft . 

They started because 200 women  were accused of doing witchcraft and magic  and the women were tortured at the stake for this. There is a movie based on the witch trials called Hocus Pocus.  In the movie The Sanderson sisters, one of them called Sarah tells us about Hallows Eve, a very special day.  When the black flamed candle would light, the three Sanderson  sisters would come back.  

Do you celebrate Halloween? – Charlotte
 
 
Halloween is a huge American celebration and is  also celebrated in a Australia but not as big as America, it is becoming bigger in Australia each year.
 
I really believe the meaning of Halloween is a spiritual cycle of death and rebirth where people release and let go of all negative and lower energies that hold them back and will celebrate new energies that take place.
 
My  belief of Halloween is where people feel a spiritual connection to the spiritual world they can feel real senses of their astral body, white shadows, glows, auras around them, the angels and the white witches. White witches are the good witches their meaning is good with the spiritual world heavens.
 
What I really love about Halloween is all  the costumes and decorations. My favourite Halloween costumes is a witch’s because I like the style and it is a childhood memory and  it is a spiritual connection to me.

My favourite Halloween decorations in the stores are the witches and pumpkins. One day I would love to decorate my home inside and out.

What is your favourite part of Halloween - Gipsy

HAPPY HALLOWEEN FRIENDS

​Choose your own adventure – October 2023
 
Our participants decided they would like this week to choose their own adventure. If you’re new to reading our blogs this is when our team can write about anything they like! We do this once a month and we love it! This team of writers have so much to share so let’s sit back and read about it!
 
Welcome to our blog today I chat about an exciting adventure happening in November. 
 
This year I’m doing my first independent travel with my best friend Bridie we are traveling to Queensland, and we are even taking Jeff the Umbrella Bear with us.
We are staying on the Gold Coast which I love, especially the theme parks and the feel it brings.

We are planning to go visit Dreamworld, Movie World, Sea World, and Wet and Wild. All the parks are lots of fun and they have so much to offer.

We are catching taxis to get to all the destinations we want to go to and explore. I am so excited and a tiny bit nervous as this is my first holiday without Mum and Dad. To make me feel less nervous I’m going to message them each day. We are going to take many photos to remember this time. I’m looking forward to cooking dinner and paying for my own things while I'm away too.

On the days I’m not having a ball of fun I'm walking or going shopping. My favourite stores I have mentioned in a previous blog.

I’m going to have fun at the place we are staying too.
The reason I’m going to have fun at the resort is because they have a ropes course, jumping pillow , mini golf  and many swimming pools to choose from.
I can’t wait to go the beach as I love the beach especially because I love building sandcastles and jumping of a pier.
 
Thank you for reading our blog as you can see I’m so excited to enjoy this experience in Queensland. - Scarlett
 
 
I get to choose my own adventure today for the blog, and one of my favourite things is the Every 1 Cafe. I have learnt so much by being one of the Every 1 Cafe favorites. 
We make a team work no matter our disability. We have great teamwork skills together. We've learnt about what's a good greeting, we make sure to shake hands. And smiling is important to make people happy. It makes me happy.  I've learnt that in a cafe there are many jobs, and I am good at listening for instructions like “order up” when the coffee is ready. It's important to work well and get everything done in the time we have.
 
I use the term "watch out behind you" so my friends know I am behind them, we don't have any accidents. This is what teamwork means to me, watching out for each other. We are getting the job done together. 
No matter the weather we love to do the Every 1 Cafe, don't be afraid of the weather. We are indoors. It doesn't matter if it's cold or hot or wet or windy. At the end we close, we clean and we set up the room for dinner. When will you come and see us?  – TJ
 
 
This week the weather turned from sun shining to gloomy rainy weather and we all had a different topic to work on so we decided to use choose your own blog card for this month, I decided to talk about my roleplay journey online this week.
My roleplays are mostly always on VR or discord depending on the time and availability, I have worn my OC to my first Dinner with friends, let me tell you about my OC Maria the Kitsune.
She is part of a family of 9 sisters, each with their own color of the rainbow, My character has the purple hue in her hair and tails and has the ability to manipulate water and move it to her will she also has a rapier for fast and effective quick attack while slicing her enemies with it.
All of the sisters are kitsunes, a Yo-kai /spirit entity who often pulls pranks in Japanese folklore, each tail represents who’s the oldest and strongest, Maria is in the middle with 6 tails and Mikuru’s is the oldest with 9 white tails, then there is the second oldest named Arashi with 8 grey tails and so forth.
They were born just after the fall of the samurai era in Japan around the 1800s, the role play consists of flintlock firearms and katanas and other weapons used in that era. My character looked after the naval forces for the coast of her island they inhabited and owned.
My friend has been planning and making this roleplay since 2018 and we are almost finished with the main story line. – Holly
 
Hello happy readers! My name is Angelina and today I am going to talk to you about Friends the American TV sitcom because why not!  

Friends is an American television sitcom created by the talented David Crane and wonderful Marta Kauffman in 1994 on the 22nd of September. Friends' sitcom was officially the best series from all over the world after its debut from its first episode.

After 10 seasons they officially ended the series on the 6th of May 2004, saying that Monica and Chandler move to a suburban area in New York. (SPOILER).

There is now an amazing friend's experience dedicated to the show down in Docklands. It's still open up until the 26th of November so get going if you are a HUGE Friends fan!
​ 
You might be wondering what the point of Friends the American sitcom and the point of the show is is because it’s all about friendship and living solo in a world where you need your friends around if your family aren’t there beside you on your journey.  – Angelina

Last week it was “Choose your own adventure” and I chose Harry Potter as my topic. The main character is Harry Potter and he is played by Daniel Radciffe. He started out as a child actor and he's a very good actor. 

Interesting facts about Harry himself, is he was cursed as a child in movies and the books by a very powerful and evil wizard, Lord Voldemort.  He now has a lighting scar on his forehead. Harry’s middle name is James. His parents went to Hogwarts and his mum was a witch, her name is Lily and his dad’s name is James.

Harry is in Gryffindor house, however if I was in Harry Potter I would go into Gryffindor house also because it’s my favourite house. 
​
There are 7 movie series’ and even a musical called Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.  I’ve seen it and it is very good. I loved it because I love Harry Potter.
Have you seen any of the Harry Potter movies or read any of the books? - Charlotte 
 
Hello Friends, 
Today I’m going to be talking about some other friends; SHARKS!! 

Why you ask? Because it’s a CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE BLOG! 

So, I have some random facts about sharks just to start us off,  
There are over 500 different species of sharks swimming in the world's oceans, with the biggest living shark being my favourite The Whale Shark (18m - 20m) and the smallest being The Dwarf Lantern Shark (6.3 - 7.9 inches).  

The most common shark species is the Dogfish there's 119 different kinds of dogfish, I won't name them all here. However, in Australia the most common shark is the wobbegong shark. There are 4 different species of wobbegong shark; Ornate Wobbegong, Spotted Wobbegong, Tasseled Wobbegong and the Dwarf Ornate Wobbegong.  

Now to deep dive into whatever I want to say about my shark friends;  
Whale sharks or Rhincodon typus which is their scientific name are my absolute Favourite shark, they are so beautiful, and I love watching them slowly swim in videos taken by experienced divers. They are just the gentle giants of the ocean. They can live to about 150 though very few whale sharks survive to adulthood. They are in fact sharks not whales even though they have whale in their name. Their markings are also like human fingerprints! One of a kind to each individual shark.  

 Sharks like me really enjoy personal space from humans, they just want to live out their days being happy shark friends and living their best shark lives. I think they need a little more respect than what they get from us. We enter their habitat and thrash around swimming, attracting their attention and then get upset when we get attacked. Imagine if I came into your home unannounced, uninvited and started trying to swim in your dining room? I bet you’d be pretty upset too!  
​
Shark attacks are rarer than you might think just as a side note.  
Have a wonderful week everyone! - Shan 

​UF0S’S Aliens
I am a real big believer into UFO’S Aliens it is my most favourite subject in the world, and when I start talking about UFO’s aliens, I don’t stop because I find it so very fascinating.

There have been so many UFO sightings all around the world.

UFO sightings have been seen in America, Australia ,Europe and Asian Countries. They say that in America Alaska is notorious for UFO sightings and unexplained things going on.

My beliefs are pretty out there and these are my believes into UfO Aliens. I really feel that I have had many UFO Alien experiences since I was a little girl and I would like to talk about one of these experiences.

I remember when I was a little girl in my sleep I was hearing a very loud helicopter sounds and I saw all these weird faces looking down on me and this would happen a lot to me has a child.

I was never frightened by it, I just always thought they were my little friends and they continue to visit me through my adult life up until today and when every time I close eyes I can see their faces very clearly.
​
Have you or anyone you know experienced a UFO Alien experience.
I  hope enjoyed reading my 2nd blog - Gipsy 

My favourite TV show or Movie…
 
We warmly welcomed Gipsy to our blogging team this week. Gipsy shared with us that she loves writing and was keen to get started so that’s exactly what we did!
Get comfy, grab some popcorn and pour yourself a big glass of your favourite soft drink as we settle in and “view” this weeks blog all about TV shows, series or movies… 
 
The favourite movie of Charlotte and Tyson. 
 
This is a big coincidence this week, Tyson and Charlotte share the SAME favourite movie, Scream!!  So this week we are teaming up to tell you all about it.
 
Tyson:-
“I love a good horror, this is for sure.
We really like murder mysteries, because they keep you guessing and the sound effects are the best! I love the killer. I love his boots, his long black cloak and the ghost face mask is very interesting to me.
 
Charlotte:-
“I like mysteries and definitely the killer too, he has a great outfit.
We both love the jump scares, you have to watch the movies at night. 
I first got into Scream after a breakup, it was comforting and enjoyable, and kept me busy. My big sister also made me watch it with her because she was scared”
 
Tyson:-
“You may have seen a sneak peak of my Halloween outfit last week, well you may have seen it last Tuesday at Dinner with Friends. I first saw Scream on the TV, and thought wow this is good.  I have since watched them all and have been scared each and every time”
 
Charlotte-  What is your favourite movie or horror movie?
 
Tyson- Dinner with Friends was on Tuesday!  It’s almost Halloween time!! Charlotte and TJ
 
 
Most people who watch TV shows watch on either on TV or Netflix but for me I use a different form to watch my Favorite show.
And that art form is called Anime and I will be talking about my first official Anime I watched, the show isn’t what you may think, it isn’t Dragonball Z or Sailor Moon, and the other ones that were on Saturday morning TV. The one Anime that got me into the Genre. It’s called Fruits Basket and I will be talking about why this Anime made me a fan of the genre to this day.
Published in 1998, this Japanese Manga was made into an Anime in 5 July 2001 to 27 December 2001 with 26 episodes, with only covering about a quarter of the manga. The story is about a Highschool girl Named Tohru Honda, a selfless and optimistic girl who loses her mother in a car accident, she tries to live by herself, but gets welcomed into a home by the most popular boy in her school, she desperately refuses as she doesn’t want to burden him and his family. But when she discovers a big secret, she stays with them to keep the secret safe from everyone.
 
In 2019 they did a revamp of the entire Anime with updated graphics and original voice acting from the original 2001 Anime and decided to include almost everything from the manga, this show is targeted at shoujo, an editorial category of Japanese comics targeting an audience of adolescent females and young adults. It is very funny and has a lot of drama and sad scenes mixed with heartwarming lessons about forgiveness and moving on.
I cried along with my boyfriend when the finale came around. The 3 seasons of this Anime have been uploaded to Crunchyroll. I even brought the 26 original copies back from Japan as a set and have all the newer DVD’s that came out and much more, needless to say I am a massive fan and would recommend this Anime if you haven’t already tried, this Anime’s genre is supernatural, romance, drama and comedy. Holly
 
Welcome to our blog today I chat about my favourite TV show called iCarly.
The Story behind iCarly is a girl named Carly Shay who films in a spare room in her apartment where she lives with her older brother Spencer . The first episode is called “Pilot”. They originally filmed because they wanted to showcase the talents of students and their school.  They posted it online and had heaps of views, the fans wanted more. Eventually, they started the show and called it iCarly.  
 
The reason it was my favourite tv show is because it makes me laugh and I always enjoy my time while watching. It has brought me lots of joy and happiness and given me an interest in media. I don’t really like the new version as there are different actors and it’s not as funny as it used to be.  
 
My favourite episode of iCarly is “I spy a mean teacher”.  There was a mean teacher at the school, and so they would hide in her wardrobe and check out her stuff.  Carly and Freddie are the only ones there as they think it will be cool and Sam was watching from the outside to try and distract the teacher. In the end though, they all get caught as the teacher sees them. Carly and Freddie get caught in the wardrobe and Sam in the garden.  
 
My second favourite episode is “Look A-like “and its my second favourite because this episode reminds me of my twin friend Charlotte.  We often get called the “Arlotte’s” like a band! 

In this episode they ask if you know anybody who looks like them and to send an image to the website during this episode.  They find random people who look very similar to the stars of the show Carly, Sam and Freddie.  They invite them to come and be on a live show but little did they know they were just going to chill in the studio and watch movies.
 
Have you ever seen iCarly? I have seen it loads of times and highly recommend you watch if you have not seen it. Thank you for reading this blog I hope you learned something about my favourite tv show. – Scarlett

This week while we talk about favourite TV shows or movies, I’m going to explain how celebrity look a likes have been a part of my life too.
 
There are many look-a-likes amongst the normal people and actors and actresses. Firstly, Danny Zuko from Greece, who is played by John Travolta. I have been compared to him quite a lot as I’ve performed many Danny Zuko’s solo songs.  I may even perform one on Tuesday at Dinner with Friends, if you’re lucky.
 
Secondly, Nick Jonas, he is one of the three Jonas Brothers.  Here is fun fact:-  Funny thing about me and him is that we both are the same age and we both grew up in a Christian home (both our dads are a pastor of the church).  Nick Jonas has been in Camp Rock, and the remake of Jumanji.  I love both these movie too.
 
Lastly, I have discovered that Louis Tomlinson from one Direction and I are the same age, born in the same month and the same year!  We are both in boybands as I created my boy band when I was at a Day Service. 
 
Did you know the word Doppelgänger is German and it means someone who is almost identical to someone else. I have seen lots of doppelgängers in my time, including myself and those I have mentioned today. – Phillip
 
 
Home and Away the Australian soap opera commenced on the 18th January 1988 and the original characters Alf  Stewart and Irene are still in the series.
 
The original story line is about a foster home with children from the city coming to live in the country. The original show was going to be called Refuge but was changed to Home and Away or H&A.
 
It commenced each week from Monday to Thursday at 7pm and for me 7pm is and has always been a block out time for me. Family and friends know not to contact me during that time. The main characters were a family with five foster children who moved to “Summer Bay” to run the caravan park and the fun began. 
 
The show has been sold to over eighty countries, making it one of the most popular Australian soap operas.
 
Myself and a close friend are crazy  about the show because of the interesting story lines, nothing is off limits - e.g. drug abuse, weddings, funerals you name it they have had it on.
 
I don’t have a favourite character now but Sally a foster child was my favourite until she moved away from the bay
 
I have been lucky to go to “Summer Bay” which is filmed in NSW at Palm Beach. I have some sand as a souvenir.
 
Do you like H&A and do you still watch it?
Do you have a favourite character? 
Have you been to Summer Bay?
 
Jess - A dedicated fan as well as my good friend Britt.
 
 
Hello Friends! 
After a short discussion about what we would write about in our blogs today we settled on favourite T.V. shows, fits perfectly with what I had hoped to write about today... BLUEY!  
 
Bluey is an Australian cartoon about an adorable six-year-old blue heeler puppy who loves adventures with her friends and family Mum Chilli, Dad Bandit and Sister Bingo. I think it’s a great show that anyone can watch and enjoy. It's also fantastic that it is an Australian show (Screen Queensland and Screen Australia), being an Australian myself this makes me extremely happy and proud that we have created such a good kids show. The fun part about it being a kids' show is it's not just the young people who love it. Adults are on board the Bluey train too!  
 
I am one of those adults who love Bluey, nothing makes me happier than putting my AirPods in and diving into the world of Bluey. I have the Bluey music in a playlist on my phone because why not right? I love the Grannie's episode I'm pretty sure it’s in season 1, episode 28. I could watch it over and over again. I recently got to go see my 1-year-old niece who loves Bluey also, it was great to watch it with her. I’m pretty sure she’s mostly a fan of the intro music the most. She does also have a favourite episode though, Cricket which is in season 3, Episode 47.  

Random fun fact for you Chloe Hayden (Actress, Author, disability advocate, motivational speaker and social media influencer.) Loves Bluey too!  
 
My favourite characters are Bluey, Rusty (Red Kelpie) and Unicorse (Unicorn Puppet). 
I love Bluey because she's the main character but also because she's always going off learning new things in her adventures and she's great fun. Rusty is so imaginative, he's being a handyman fixing fence's one minute, showing off his awesome cricket skills the next and loves playing army! He’s a great character! Another reason to love Bluey is there is a Unicorn that appears in a couple of episodes and that brings me to my next favourite character; Obviously I love Unicorse Because he’s a unicorn and unicorns RULE! (Unicorns are my favourite) he is a bit cheeky though and seems to love spoiling story times.  
 
So there we are I LOVE BLUEY and that’s something that makes me happy. What TV shows or movies do you love? Maybe give Bluey a go?  

Have A Wonderful Day Friends! – Shan
 
 
My favourite TV Show - Home and Away
Home and Away is on week nights from Monday to Thursday at 7pm. My favourite characters are Leah, Justin, Theo, Cash,  Kirby, Mackenzie, Harper, Diana and Felicity.

The reason why I love Home and Away so much is because I really love all the drama and how all the actors present in their acting. They are very good at it, all of the actors! 
In Home and Away they really know how to act and I really love that Home and Away is filmed on the beach and I really love where Home and Away is set in Summer Bay.
 
Recently what’s been happening in Home and Away is Justin and Leah were kidnaped and taken to an isolated building with no food or drink fluids and Justin tried climbing up onto the roof so they could find a way out to get help, then parts of the roof collapsed and Justin fell and parts the roof fell on him. Justin was seriously injured, both Leah and Justin needed medical attention but what happens to Justin? Will Justin survive? If Justin does not survive, then Home and Away will never be the same but I will still love Home and Away. Justin is really cool! I really hope Lyric make their album and it gets really big and everything works out for Lyric, I hope Felicity has a child with Tane her husband. 
I really wish Home and Away could go for 1 hour and a half or 2 hours from Monday to Friday because there never anything on TV - Gipsy
