Down Under, My Home
Thanks for the idea Stephie about writing to those who don’t know about Australia, to post something about my country. So I dedicate this to you. Hope you learn more about where I am from:
My brilliant home, Down Under, in other words, Australia is the only place where I will feel happy, safe and at my true home. Here my mother and father escaped from the wars in Lebanon to arrive to safety in Australia after their marriage and we were then born. I lost a brother who was very young after a mistaken needle shot from a new unprofessional doctor… Australia is called Down Under because we are the country that is quite far from others and are at the bottom of Earth.
Australia has been inhabited for at least 50,000 years, since the remote ancestors of the current Australian Aborigines arrived from present-day Southeast Asia. The land was not discovered by Europeans until the 17th century, when it was sighted and visited by several expeditions. In 1901, Australia became a united federation, free to do what we willed by the rules.
Australia is divided into six states and several territories. The states are Western Australia, Queensland, South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania: the territories, the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory. The Australian Capital Territory was created at the chosen site of the capital city Canberra. Canberra was founded as a compromise between the two largest cities, Melbourne and Sydney. By far the largest part of Australia is desert, 40% of the landmass is covered by sand dunes. Only the south-east and south-west corners have a cooler temperature and fertile soil. The northern part of the country has a tropical climate: part is tropical rainforests, part grasslands, and part desert. The Great Barrier Reef, by far the world’s largest coral reef, lies a short distance off the north-east coast.
Most of the Australian population descends from 19th and 20th century immigrants, most from the United Kingdom to begin with, but from other sources in later years. Many inhabitants are of Greek, Italian or Asian descent. Descendants of the original population, the Australian Aborigines, make up less than 1% of the population. Which is a shame because Aboriginals( Aborigines) were the first to live in Australia, and to make up only 1% of the population is quite sad… how they are losing their people so quickly!!
Its most famous attractions are the Opera House, Ulura ( an Australian Big Rock) and the Harbour Bridge. Kangaroos are our special Aussie Animals, along with the Koala, Emu etc.
Me and the Future Me
As me now, I go to school, sit and study AND blog, write, read normal everyday student activities. But I work hard and put lots of effort into my work because I know if I don’t my future will be an empty and filthy sack of useless life, with no education, no pathway to tread along. But if I work hard I know I will have a good future when I grow.
Before I start this post, I would like to say that Anand gave me the idea to write it, so thank you Anand. The rest of you: Stephie and Leecie, wait and see, soon the post you’ve told me to write of I will write about.
He asked me to write up a post about what I want to be when I grow up and here is what i have come up with: Me, is the normal me, which I have talked about above, the future me is concealed behind a veil, I cannot see through it and what my fate will lead me to. I hope to be when I grow up…. a wonderful Kids Author as part time,publish many extraordinary books that win many awards. Why?: Simply because lots of teachers have viewed my writings and stories, enjoyed them thoroughly and said I “have to be a writer”. They recognise superb talent in my tales and say that I should write stories of my own, as writing has always been one of my hobbies, I agreed; I love scribbling down stories and so I’d really like to be an author one day as a part time job….
My almost-full time job would have to be probably a children’s doctor. Why?: Because the fact that everyday someone dies and gets injured is shocking, if I become a doctor I could help the kids that need my help, save lives and be the kind of doctor that is gentle, decent, fair and friendly kind and the kind of doctor that kids would beg their mothers to take them to. I just want to be there for those who need help, all those with sicknesses and fevers, headaches, stomach aches, vomiting business etc and rescue people from savage ends…

Have you ever Considered…
Now… a house… have you EVER considered how lucky you are to even live SOMEWHERE? Either with family, in an apartment, a house or a mansion double story house. We are so lucky, compared to the poor African children out there who are starving and we aren’t even seeing such. They sit there, tears of rain pouring, they have nowhere to go, nowhere to shelter but trees. Don’t you fell sorry? While we eat with pride, they starve to death. Consider this… each time we throw away our food we should think about what they would do to get their hands on our dinners, desserts, fruits+ vegetables etc. So next time you throw away your food, consider the fact that you get sins for it, that you are doing something awful by throwing away food that god has given you and that the poor strive so hard, gleaming day and silver-moon night to devour what you have discarded.
Back to my point… have you ever thought to yourself how lucky you are to be living SOMEWHERE, sheltered, jolly? Have you ever? Each time you look out your glass pane have you ever mused about the fact that hundreds of homeless humans are deserted on the streets, barely with clothes and rarely with food to keep them alive. They are kicked out onto roads and stay to suffer there. I’m sure you wouldn’t like that. So think next time before you throw something away. Think that you have a house to shelter you, to protect you from sheets of rain, powerful storms, gushes of winds and floods and it keeps us warm. It is there to cover for us and save us from being homeless. I know it sounds quite weird to give it human characteristics, but it is all true, it is exactly like another mother of ours, always watchings us and looking out for us… imagine it.
So you should be proud to be living somewhere, never waste your time weeping because you have all your life to live, all your mazes to figure your way through and your mistakes to fix and learn from. Be grateful for what you have, that others pray every second to have. Be grateful! And when I say it I mean it… don’t waste time, it is too valuable. We all must enjoy it all we can before our life is well and truly over. In other words, have fun in your life while you can! Oh, and one more thing, before you sleep, you must: Create a name for your house, example: Gretel, as mine is, and each night mutter your house a goodnight to show it that you are thankful for its help, no I am not going crazy!! 
How do you feel about the homeless People?
This Will Teach You to You
You know, you really don’t know the you that you are. So far though. The meaning of your name is stuck in your throat, you gag sharply to splutter it from your mouth, alas, nothing will release it.

A miracle has finally launched in my mind… a website has granted my wish of coughing out that meaning, and I am grateful. I have found the true Name-Meaner website! Woohoo!

So Now You Will Know
I have never told you, never explained, never exactly introduced… me. So I regret that fact and wish to apologise leaving my greeting and an explanation of myself for too late. Sorry Lisa too! I wish I could add you to my blog-roll but only when I am at school and my teacher logs in for me I can actually add people to my blog roll! All the other friends of my blog-roll are placed because she logged in for me! And it is now the holidays so I can’t. So now you will know, now you will learn, now you will discover me! The true… Nadine.
This is who I am so you know:
I love reading, writing stories of fiction and my latest story is 75 pages ( I swear, and I am NOT joking!! 
), also I love to dance around at home to songs that need to be danced on. My favourite subjects are English and a bit of Science. You? I LOVE colour hot pink and my favourite number is 5, lucky number 3 ( Long story!). My birthday is in September 10th 1996 and I am a Rat in the Chinese Calendar( What do you call it?). I am proud to be one too, it is who I truly am. They say Rats are short tempered, determined to finish everything and may not get along THAT well in a group. That is exactly me. I am really impatient too, like having to wait by the computer to load this comment makes me feel like opening up the computer and shouting,”Hurry up!!!”
So, you get the point! Now you know who I am? 
Now you understand who I really am and my personality? I learnt from this lesson, that you feel as though you are with a stranger when you don’t know much about a friend in blogging!! So if you have anything to say about you… don’t hesitate.
Every human has their tunnels, their rises, their falls, their balances and their footprints and fingerprints along with their personality and weakness, strength and individuality. Every girl/boy have their truths, lies, their bends, their pathways to the future, their goals, their self to reveal, their twists and turns, their troubles. Their problems too. But, to keep it in will only leave it locked up to explode in your body and rid you of life sooner or later, from depression. But to share it with someone you love and trust will ooze out this poison, thwart it away.. believe me. Life has its ways! No matter who you are, your life hasn’t ended. You should be proud to be who you are. Don’t be afraid… introduce your true self to me!!! Or your inner soul will dissolve in the whirlpool of “Depression”. Just….. surprise me. Let your spirit shine!!!
‘Whirlpool take me to the Deeps below‘
Life’s twists and turns. Like in stories.
Cruel Cat Killers Murder just for the Olympics?!
Can you believe it? I just received the shocking news from a good friend of mine, Hayley. She has said that thousands of pet cats’ owners are abandoning them and sending them to die in secretive government cat pounds just to clear up some space for the Olympics. Because as you know, the Olympics for 2008 will be held there. Hundreds of these cats are being collected daily, and placed carelessly in such tiny cages they can’t even jerk a muscle. These are not only the awful things that are occurring, but also the killing of homeless men, women, children and old people lying around the streets. They kill them, I think, surely because they are of poor quality and of no use to keep while they are cleaning out for the Olympics, so they just get rid of them along with all the poor quality items around. They also spray green chemical sprays on the grass if it is not perfectly lime green, which can poison them.
Okay, tell you what, that, every little evil thing they have performed that I have recounted, is a whole load of utter rubbish, and nothing but that! Why? Because don’t you think all that is cruel, spraying poisonous infectants on grass, murdering poor innocent creatures just to look great on a big day! Putting to death a pack of homeless people struggling to live on streets who would die anytime if not be shot or something. Why them? There is no need to kill to look good, no need at all.
All is needed is to clean the streets of rubbish, tidy up and decorate! Why such a huge fuss over a silly Olympic game? Mentioning so, now the idea is distasteful to me. I thought they just do the ordinary cleaning and decorating but the terminating of life is just too much!!! Are they crazy or something because you know, when I get angry I get angry and god knows what I can do. I am so disappointed, even though I am not that big of a cat fan. They don’t deserve to die so easily for a million dollar Olympic game!!! And millions too… crazy people crazy, this is an outrage killing and doing awful things!!
I wish I could do something. Depriving people of life when they have been harmless, to execute kittens for no reason, now seriously, who would stab someone for no reason who? And who would cause grass to be polluted by spray to impress visitors. It is too much for me now… I’m losing breath. Before I go, thanks to Hayley for sharing this with me to spread and I have. Though now, all I want you to do is spread the word as Hayley said to me on the post.
I received this picture from Hayley to show you how exactly the cats look like. See? All squashed, yuck, they look so mournful. It is a disgusting sight!! This is how they look like when they are sad.. What do you think? Leave a comment and say!!
Look how happy they look? Families together.. and the Beiging people are tearing them apart 
Can you resist the lovely kitten? How cute!!

“Ominous Oceans …Over…”
Sailor on the boat: “Pilot, huge wave coming, over.”
Pilot: “Be careful, go in opposite direction of the waves! Or if thrown into sea, lie on yer’ back and relax til’ me plane comes to get ya’. Remember, when in danger, talk inta’ yer’ receiver (walkie talkie) an’ tell me eh?”
The receiver made a crackling noise of water dripping forcefully from a shower which were made out and recognised by the pale and shaking pilot, Oliender. No one was answering and he was anxious to find out why, but words wouldn’t be freed from his mouth. To him, this meant danger, and really serious danger.He froze like an icicle glued to the floorboards. But finally, the words that were destined to cascade out of his blue-lipped mouth finally gushed out:
Pilot: “Are you there Barrian? Barrien? What’s happened?? Over.” But still, the unknown crunching noise was only to be heard. Oliender wasn’t the man to give up at a challenge, besides, he’d never given up any squabble for 32 years and wasn’t determined to end this battle easily…..
Sorry to end the story, but unfortunately the conclusion is not to be revealed for this is a post about something quite different:
During class times, we have been busy little bee-lings working our little minds and HEADS off, creating something “Extraordinary” for the Oceans project we are doing for this term. We had each, group or personally, chosen a topic to investigate and then we’d present it after learning some facts about it, in front of the huddled class nervously. We could present it in any way, so we were relieved.
My agents, Sharon and Momtahina are doing a case about “Whaling No Way!” which we learn about whaling. We’ve been studying and building with all the effort we can and have finally made a decision.Our presentation will be a satisfying Puppet show with a box for the stadium, decorated, and a whale coming to do an interview with a special Australian Comedian.
Then after this interview where the whale will talk about whale populations, whaling, how she feels, when it started, how sailors effect whales etc, a special billionare and significant person….. yes he IS A HUMAN……will be visiting to make fireworks of excitement explode up in the interview. But unexpectedly, a mysterious lady with a silly night gown and slippers come from out of the blue in a puff and respectful applause, to interrupt his conversation complaining that,” You haven’t finished your chores!!” and the poor man misses out while the woman takes over to talk about his progress in Stopping Whaling.
This passenger turned out to be his strict wife!! This puppet show will be amusing don’t worry. But I cannot reveal further, readers, you’ve yet to keep reading to find out EXACTLY what I’m talking about!! Sorry I am so mysterious these days…..
