If I could be an animal, I would be a Phoenix. A Phoenix is a mythical bird that is a fire spirit with colorful feathers and a tail of gold and scarlet. According to some legends the tail is purple, blue and green. A phoenix lives 500-1000 years. Near the end it builds a nest and both burn to ashes. A new, young phoenix will arise from the ashes and will live as long as its old self. Of course phoenixes don’t exist, but they are told in the mythologies of the Chinese, Egyptians, etc.
I first thought of other animals like: mermaids, unicorns, griffins, a dragon, etc. But a mermaid is half human, half fish so that’s not really an animal. A unicorn is too girly and a griffin isn’t as cool as a phoenix. The choice between a dragon and a phoenix was hard, because I found a dragon awesome too. The phoenix won from the dragon, because of his abilities.
Although it doesn’t exist, it would be fun to be one. You can fly and reborn again. I would love to fly. You would be free and see the most beautiful views. It’s also said that the cry of a phoenix is like a beautiful song. If I could cry like a beautiful song, I would cry forever.

Silly Questions
Hello, What is my name? And by the way, what’s yours?
These questions are silly questions that are made throughout the whole world. Of course, some people can’t help it, because they have some sort of syndrome or people with a speech impediment.
But these examples are just the top of the iceberg. People ask a lot more silly questions that you’d think. Research proves that human kind is actually a being with very little brain activity when speaking in a conversation that does not concern them.
The following questions are common and used in a lot of countries in the world. Did your parents ever had children? Can we drink soda during coffee breaks? Is the basement downstairs?
These questions are mostly asked by foreigners and blonde girls. Most people experience these questions as annoying, but they can’t help it. They were just born this way.
This handicap is incurable, however, over the years, scientists are developing a medicine to reduce the effects of this handicap, so that they can participate in conversations just like us. If you have this decease or you know anyone who is infected, contact us and beat this virus!
Yours sincerely,
What’s my name?
If I could be an animal, I would be a…
Griffin. This didn’t come to my mind at once, at first I was thinking about being a unicorn, a dragon and a mermaid. Because they’re to fluffy and remind me of Barbies, I would love to be a mermaid but since mermaids are half human half fish so they’re don’t really count as an animal. I don’t think I’d want to be a dragon is that one way or another people would start slaying me…. :P
A griffin is a combination of a lion and an eagle. It’s head and wings are an eagle, and the rest of his body is a lion. Griffins of course don’t exist, but is know from many fairytales. Even though it doesn’t exist it would be cool to be one anyway, one of the reasons I would want to be a griffin is because of the fact that they can fly!! I would love to be able to fly because of the fact that it would really bring independence to your life because you can go and do whatever you want, you don’t need your parents to drive you you can simply fly anywhere you like. Also you would be really special. No one has ever seen a griffin before (except perhaps for some lunatic people who claim they have) so they would really want to see you!
So this is my reason why I want to become if griffin if this would be possible somewhere in the future.

My life so far
I was born on the 11th of November 1994 in a little village called Boxmeer. I was born seven weeks before I was meant to be born. My parents named me Manon because it was my grandmother’s last wish that if ever my mother got a daughter, she would be named after her. This is extra special since my grandmother passed away when my mother was only twelve years old.
My first memory is about my grandfather. I can remember us playing games in the garden. I also remember my first day at elementary school. I had been looking forward to it for weeks. When I finally got there, I was a bit disappointed. It wasn’t that different from the playgroup I went to before.
The neighborhood where I grew up is the same as where I live now. We moved when I was about five years old, but we only moved a couple of streets away. This shows that my parents were satisfied with the area they live in, and so am I. It’s an ideal area for a child to grow up. There are a lot of playgrounds and the cars aren’t driving too fast.
My hobbies are dancing and playing the German flute. I started taking dancing lessons when I was four years old. I have played the flute for four years, but then I quit because I didn’t have the time to practice anymore. Nowadays I still play the flute for fun, and I still dance about three hours a week.

Clothes and fashion
I think clothes and fashion are quite important. By wearing what you wear you give people an impression of who you are. You can show people your taste for music, or for a color or something like that. Your clothes can change the way you feel. If you are confident with what you are wearing, it’s easier to be happy and open. But if you feel ugly or stupid with what you wear, you can become very shy. In my opinion people can wear what they want to wear, but they do have to face the consequence of being looked at. I think It is okay for a man to wear a skirt, as long as he doesn’t complain about the fact that some people will think that he is weird.
Every month I go shopping once or twice, in another city than my own. For instance I like going to Nijmegen, Amsterdam, Arnhem or Utrecht, because there is a lot more variety than in Boxmeer. I spend about 120 euro’s on clothes each month. That is about 1440 a year. I never really need to buy new clothes, I just like shopping with my friends. Also my taste is changing a lot lately, so I would prefer not being seen in clothes I wore last year.

Dogs and Cats
I find dogs and cats very sweet, but I do prefer dogs. You can train them, so they can listen to you. Cats are just sweet, but don’t respond to you. I’ve got a feeling that dogs really understand you, so that’s more fun. I’ve got two dogs myself, and I grew up with them. They are called Luna and Noah. They are very sweet and I really love them. They are very energetic, and love to play all the time. Their breed is Border Collie. It’s a very beautiful breed. I know also a few other breeds: Labrador, Poodle, Golden retriever, etc.
I do can imagine that people don’t want any dogs or cats, because they are a lot of work. They are very energetic, and cost a lot of money. They have to be fed and you have to walk them out sometimes. If people are very busy with work, they don’t have much time for their pets. With dogs that can be a bigger problem, because they have to go outside, but cats don’t. So if you do want a pet, but don’t want to spend a lot of time, then I would recommend a cat.
I’ve had bad experiences with cats, so I wouldn’t take a cat. But I can imagine that people do love cats, because they can be very sweet. When I was little, a male cat bit me, and that hurt a lot. That’s why I don’t really love them, and why I prefer dogs. Whoever wants any company, I would say, take a pet!

Music
Hello everybody,
The subject I’ve chosen is Music. The reason why I’ve chosen music, is that I love music, and it’s a really important thing in my life. I don’t really have a favourite style if you look over the last months. I mostly have periods where I have a favourite style, and at this moment I love listening rock and reggae. A style I also really like is jazz and blues, and I like it even more if it’s music from the sixties seventies or eighties. As you can see, is my taste at music very various.
I not only like to listen music, but I also love to make music. I play the piano and the guitar, and since a year I also have singing lessons. The singing lessons are going very well, and I can say that in my opinion, singing is the nicest way of making music. I also have been dancing for a couple of years, and I like that very much too.
I always listen to music when I’m making my homework. The song has to be a bit unknown, because otherwise I’m going to sing along with the song. Though, I can’t learn when I’m listening to music, because of my concentration.
A thing I also love to watch, are musicals. If I had the potency to play in a musical, I certainly would. It’s only too bad that my parents find musicals too expensive (which I can understand if you see these ridiculous prices) to go to.
Thank you for your attention, and I hope I’ve informed you enough about my music and me.
