Kiss magazine

A few weeks ago I did a week of work experience in Kiss magazine, it was one of the best weeks I have had! I did a lot of earands for the magazine which I didnt mind because they were quite enjoyable. I met all the lovely staff there they were so welcoming and friendly I felt like I was apart of the kiss fam! after a tiring week we were given a goodie bag with loads of fab stuff we were also told we would be featured in the mag I was asked to do a beauty shoot for the debs issue in may which I'm sooo excited for!
All in all was such a good week made two great friends and got a fantastic insight into the magazine world

Ich habe beschlossen, schreiben Sie es in Deutsch, weil meiner Meinung nach die lanuage klingt so cool und egal, was Sie sagen, Sie klingen wie Ihr wütend! Ich wollte schon immer zu sprechen, Deutsch und geplant, um in der Schule lernen, aber es gab nicht genug Leute, die es tun wollte. Ich spreche ein wenig Deutsch, aber die Mehrheit der Zeit, die ich habe keine Ahnung, was jemand sagen, damit wird der Tatsache Dieser Beitrag ist proberly schreckliche Deutsch. Entschuldigung an alle Deutsch sprechen übersetzen es wieder auf Englisch zu verstehen,

My Inspiration

I would like you all to be introduced to the fantastic Connor Moser,
He is my inspiring to me because he never fails to amaze Connor is the brightest eleven year old I know. Connor speaks fluently in german and in english (better than me). Connor plays the trumpet, drums, violin and some piano. Connors band have even played on national austrian television. Connor is a computer genius he has even planned to do a cpomputer course in university! Connor is a great skiier. Connor gets the public bus into school on his own everyday which I find terrific because at eleven I would never have been able to go anywhere on my own I would never have been as independant as Connor and the one main remarkable thing about Connor is that hes has been blind from birth he doesnt take his disability as a obstacle he just lives his life to the fullest this is why Connor Moser is my inspiration and Iam ever so proud to know Connor!

'You are all winners'

Unforch my mini company Illuminate did not get through to the national finals of our mini company competition but we won best presentation !

On monday morning team Illuminate all set off to Kilashee house, Naas for the mini company competition, we set up our stand made our selves presentable and waited for our time to present our product. We were scheduled to present last so of course our nerves were through the roof ! when it was our time to go on stage we walked up in a orderly fashion and we gave it our all the questions the judges asked some tricky questions but we overcome and in the end came out winning the best presentation! after the slight disapiontment of not getting through it was made up for with newpaper photographers taking pics galore and one newspaper even contemplating writing a segment on us , so we were happy chicas in the end :)

'I'm gonna take you out to Mullingar'

Last tuesday I got up bright and early to get the bus to school. Once I arrived in school class Fodla got our own mini bus on the way to Mullingar.Myself and Rebekah took it upon ourselves to sing sad songs as we were missing a few classmates on our day out.

When we got to Mullingar we went straight into the theathre where we sat and watched the extremly touching plays by our other classmates after we watched the plays Emily, Rebekah and I went out in Mullingar Town to check it out hoping to see Niall Horan we ran into the Joe Dolan statue much to Emilys luck, 'theres no show like a Joe show'

We then went back on the bus for our journey home as it was all to much for me I fell asleep while listening to One Direction on replay hyping myself up for what was ahead of me that night!

I got home and got ready the fastest I think I have ever gotten then hopped on the Dublin bus and went off into town

My night was amazing they were actually fab! I wish I Could do it all again

The Lyric Game

So last week myself and Meg started playing this game which we named 'The Lyric Game' it began so addictive that we played it in every single class and it even spread to other girls in our year so I thought I would share to yous how to play!
Right first off you think of a word ( any random word atal) For example we started with the word river
the aim of the game is to sing as much songs as you can with the word river in it e.g 'River deep mountain high' 'Cry me a river' 'I went down to the river to pray' 'Aint no river wide enough to keep me from yoou' 'Rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river' etc
this game is actually so much fun, you should try it ;)

Enjoy amigos!
