Day in the life of Me

You stand there thinking that can’t of been real

10 years ago I remember exactly what happened at 2.30 GMT. I remember what I saw. What I did. To be Honest I can’t say I can remember any other day that clear 10 years ago. Not even my brothers first birthday. 

9/11 happened 10 years ago exactly and we are still shocked by what happened it looked like a film to me. I remember I was 9, I finished school at 3.00 pm and my mum came to pick me up, she never does because she used to work nights, it was her day off. She picked my up, and I was about to change the radio to Mercia, but my Mum said the news is on, a plane has hit into one of the Twin Towers. I didn’t know what the Twin Towers was but I mean hearing that a plane had hit into a building is bad enough. So I get home the news is on, my family are all gathered round. I see the news and realise this must be important. I looked at the news and suddenly saw a plane hit into the side of a tall tower, and I thought are they just showing the clip over and over again. No a second tower was hit. On the screen the news were broadcasting clip after clip of the planes hitting the side of the towers. Even the news people had to take a minuite to see what was happening. I remember my brother was 11 months and he started talking and had an obsession with the word plane, and he kept on saying “plane boom”. I think at 9 I didnt get the concept that this was real, that there were people in the plane, there were people in the tower. It was until the news kept on broadcasting the death numbers and how it kept on increasing.

BREAKING NEWS.

Suddenly I see one Tower collapse to the ground and the living room is silent, the broadcasters go quiet. You felt like you were there, but I do not think I could even think of what was happening there. 10 minutes later the second tower crumbles directly to the ground.

I felt scared and confused being in my living room thousands of miles away. What were the people who were there, right in that moment thinking?

Days after day there would be news reports of people not being found, that this was a terrorist attack. One mans face was constantly being posted on the TV screen. Osama Bin Laden. 

I remember seeing people waving tissues out of windows and thinking why is know one helping them? I could not grasp the thought of how tall these towers really were.The news calmed down and it was the biggest clean up of New York City, and we would constantly be hearing reports from families, firemen, police, kids. It was so sad, it was the topic of most conversations even in my playground. It was a sad moment, and 10 years on I can still tell a whole account of what I did that day, who I saw, and what I saw. 

On September 1 2009, I went to New York City, I had always wanted to go there and me and my sister went I was 17. On the Thursday we went to go visit Ground zero, I didnt know what to expect really. 

Every day when we were in New York City, we would take the big bus tour to wherever we wanted to go to. And there would be a person telling us all about the sights, and every single one had something to say about 9/11. 

” It was a clear day like this, you could see the top of the tower, which was rare.  2 hours later the sky was filled with dust”

” I remember ringing for my brother to see if he was okay, he said he ran to catch a boat to Ellis Island, but the phone dropped”

” I will never forget seeing the Twin Towers falling to the ground,everytime I close my eyes I see it”

We arrive at Ground Zero and all of a sudden I got flashbacks of what I saw when I was 9. I could really imagine two towering buildings filling the gap. There was not alot of people, there was construction work so we were moved along.

MEMORIAL AT A SCHOOL NEAR BY.

CONSTRUCTION WORK

Me looking at New York, from Liberty Island

We went to sit in the church, and we were talking to the priest, he was telling us how firemen would come in at the end of their shifts and just pray in their uniform. The church would be full outside with crowds of people wanting to come and pray, it was surreal to think this. 

TRINITY CHURCH

9/11 will always be one day that sticks out in my life, the day which you tell your children, grand children about. Those people who died that day will always be remembered for their bravery, because I honestly do not know what I would have done in that situation.

10 years on the building work is going on, but the plans for what will be there, look amazing. It is aiming to be the tallest tower in the world. It is a way New Yorkers fought back saying you can keep hitting us but we just get right back up.

I love New York City, I want to live there when I’m older, and I enjoy hearing stories of 9/11, and I try and watch all the programmes which are based around the day. They are sad, but I think it is a way of giving us a clearer answer of what happened that day.

I will always remember New York City for it’s beauty and the peoples strength

Beyonce- Album 4

Hello Guys, today my post is about the ONE. The ONLY. BEYONCE! Her album has to by my favourite for 2011. You know when you listen to an album ,you know every word to every song, and you love every single song. This is how the ‘4’ album is. :)

I’m not obsessed, I mean I’m just so crazy in love with her, she runs the music world,She not a single lady, Jay Z thinks shes the best thing he ever had, Lady Gaga keeps ringing her up. She is QUEEN B

BEYONCE 4 ALBUM- Must have!

‘4’ Interview

This shoot was done in Paris, the video blog is amazing! Her shoes are also amazing. Must Have- Yeah right!

I think the reason I have chosen this sexy lady is because her achievments in life and how hard she works really makes me thinks that anyone can do what they want if they put their mind to it. She is a true entrepeuner and I would one day love to be an entrpeneur myself. 

Beyonce really amazed me when I saw her in Glastonbury 2011 <3. I used to just enjoy listening to her music and I was not a true fan. However after glasto it all changed, She was amazing, so much talent, so much charisma it was so amazing. People would tell me her voice is amazing and undoubtly yes it is amazing, however hearing her live gave me chills.

Beyonce stepping out- she opened with “Crazy in Love” amazing

Obviously her husband Jay Z and her pal Gwyneth Paltrow came along, Jay Z was an arms length away from me throughout her 2 hour set. Amazing moment!

Beyonce in her shining light!

Sing your heart out <3

Thousands of people behind you! Front row seeing Beyonce! Deffo my highlight of 2011. She also waved at me twice, as I had a giant poster saying her name, I mean who wouldn’t wave.

Beyonce was born into a family which was full of people who were in the industry, not well known however they knew people. Now Beyonce is seen to be the queen of this music industry. Beyonce originally started in a group called Destinys child Which we have all heard of. This made the singers millions however Beyonce went onto pursuit a solo career which was one of the best descision of her life. In 2002 her solo career began and has been going from strength to strength ever since!

Beyonce in Austin Powers-Must see Film here!

Her and Jay Z are the one of the richest couples in Hollywood, they are very close couple but also very private. I Like it!

BEYONCE AND JAYZ enjyoing basketball.

Beyonce has starred in films, she has her own perfumes, her own clothing line, houses in most locations of the world. She is her own manager and the “4” documentary where there is a link below just shows how much of her music is her own decisions. She directs, produces all her video and helps out editing, she is one busy lady. Now with a baby on the way, Jay Z no longer has 99 problems think he has 100!
