Meeting Baby Frankie

Meeting Baby Frankie

I was very excited for the day ahead of me it was finally time to see my newborn niece Frankie.
I woke up not very eager to get out of bed but I knew I had to.  I got up and went to my parents room to say good morning to the both of them and as I stepped into their room my mum said, “Morning Talia,  go clean your room then have a shower we’re going out today”.

I got very excited thinking about  where we were going, even though that destination was unknown to me at that time. Even though I tried to get information from them, they wouldn't tell me anything.  I ran back to my room made  my bed, opened the curtains and went for a quick shower. As soon as I got out my brother asked if I was coming to see the baby and right then I thought BABY FRANKIE!!! I was over the moon knowing I would see her very soon. I just had to wait in the lounge for my parents to get ready.  I felt like they were taking forever but if I wanted to come I had to wait patiently. It was around 11:30 and my parents we finally ready I said goodbye to my Grandad who was going back to his house soon and went to the car. My little sister was all the way at the back waiting for me to sit next to her since my two older brothers were in the middle and of cause my mum and dad at the front.

We were in Pakuranga and my dad stopped so that my mum could go into Farmers and get something for the baby while the rest of us stayed in the car waiting. It was about 30 minutes after she went into the shop and everyone was getting a little reckless from all the waiting we had to do especially if we were in the car doing nothing. But my mum came out with a cute baby outfit and hat for Frankie we were then off it took us about 15-25 minutes to get to the house and when we arrived I was hoping the baby was still up so I could so her beautiful face but of cause I wanted to hug her. As we were walking up the long stairs I got even more excited about seeing the baby we finally reached the top of the stairs and my little sister knocked on the door where Jane the mother of Frankie she opened up the door and said
“Hi come in”.

I took my shoes off and stepped inside where I gave Jane and her mother a hug saying hi and congratulations to both of them. My dad already had Frankie so I couldn't hold her just yet but that was okay I knew I would have my turn soon, I sat down in a comfortable seat next to my brother and just talked to Jane while I was waiting for Frankie to come to me. After my dad,mum and my older brother Peter had a turn at holding Frankie it was my turn, as soon as I first got her I was filled with joy just seeing her beautiful baby face and knowing she would be an amazing person growing up made me even more happier. I had to give her to my other brother Michael but I got her back again just for one last time before we had to go. I kissed her on her cheek and hugged her than we left to go get some lunch.

Today was an amazing day and I'm glad that I got to meet baby niece Frankie.

Standing United.

November the 13th 2015 will forever remain an  unforgettable day for everyone in the world.  Hundreds of lives were lost and they will never come back.

Paris:
9:20pm 2 explosive bombs have been set off in the Stade De France stadium during the Germany vs France soccer game. After everyone in the stadium fled to the middle of the soccer field there was a sense of panic and worry for everyone there since they didn’t know where the bomb exploded and whether there was going to be another. There was only 1 person that died from the explosion. But of cause there was no more only several other bombs and shootings around Paris at exactly the same time.

In the Central of Paris is where 15 people lost their lives. Gunmen came in a black Seat at the Right Bank area of Paris. The gunmen opened fire onto the Petit Cambodge Cambodia restaurant and also the Le Carillon bar on the other side of the street. They killed 15 people who thought that it would be a great Friday night out. There was another shooting done in Paris it happened on Rue de la Fontaine au Roi a hotel where the same unit of terrorists drove 500 yards to Casa Nostra pizzeria and killed 5 more people. They then drove a mile south-east to passed the area of Bataclan a concert venue to make another deadly attack. Now on La Belle Equipe bar in Rue de Charonne, killing 19 people by spraying a terrace with bullets around 9:35pm. They were then at the Bataclan concert venue where they stormed into the hall randomly shooting anyone they could see. There was 1,500 people in that hall watching an American rock group called Eagles of Death Metal. The tourists then began a siege that lasted 2 hours and 40 minutes, two of them blew up their own explosive belts but the police stopped the siege around 12:30am when the third tourist was shot. Details have been let out to the media saying
  • The first policeman to get to the concert came at 10:15pm just 20 minutes after the 3 tourists started shooting.
  • At 10:15pm an armed Swat team arrived and entered the hall. The tourists were on a higher floor level and the officers evacuated as many people as they could find.
  • The officers went in two columns and went up the stairs both from right and left sides of the auditorium.
  • As the officers were going up the stairs terrified people were hiding cupboards and other hiding places so they could take cover.
  • 20 minutes after 12 police officers were told they could start the final assault, so they burst down the door by a heavy metal shield advancing down the corridor where it was full of 20 hostages.
  • They were finally face to face with the tourists and the officers threw a stun grenade as they were blasting their guns at the Islamists.
  • One shooter went down and the others blew up their own body to pieces.
  • The assault lasted 3 minutes.

Almost 130 people died that night just by 3 tourists who would never give a reason on why they did what they did. Many families lost someone they cared about and someone they would never see again. Boy, girl, man and women have left us  all in shock with what happened on Friday the 13th of November.

We will never forget about what happened to Paris that night, though it might have happened to one country we all come together to pray and help those who were hurt. The World stands united as one and nothing can break us.

My Long Road Of Life.



In Religious education we were asked to draw a road of our journey of life and where we want to go before we come to the kingdom of God. So this is my journey of life and where I want to go when I grow up and get old. I have many dreams that can take me further then I could imagine but right now I am taking one step at a time.

Electronic Spreadsheets.



Today I constructed a pie and a bar graph using a Google spreadsheet. Firstly I entered my data in the first 2 columns. I then selected this information into the graph where I then customized it with a title, horizontal axis and a vertical axis. Here is my finished product.
