Hey hey hey!
Long time no blog! How are you?
My past month has been fantastic! I got work as an extra on the ITV show 'Benidorm', which is great! I have done 10 days filming so far, and I have got 3 days left. It has been brilliant.
Yesterday I booked some flights to go to England in October. I am going to go to London to see 'Gypsy' in the Savoy Theatre. The great part is, I'm going with the main star's father, so I will get to meet Lara Pulver! She is a brilliant actress and singer, and I am really really excited!
Today I have my audition for 'Rooster Hannigan' in the musical 'Annie', wish me luck!

Carnaval, Carnaval!
Hey hey hey!
How has your week been? Mine has been great!
On Friday, I had a meal with 10 friends and then we all went to see '50 Shades of Grey' and it was a really fun night!
On Saturday we celebrated Carnival, and my quinta (78, 98) went as the typical childhood fairytale 'Princess and the frog', but with a twist. The boys were the princesses and the girls were the frogs! My mum made me a beautiful Belle dress, and my friend did my makeup... I looked like a drag queen!! We had a great time and won 120 euros towards our fiestas! So all in all, a great day!

David Traynor
Hey hey hey!
How has your week been? I hope it has been as good as mine.
Apart from my weekly rehearsals, this week has been good in a different way... I got my first big bed (a kingsize!!!) and I went to my first medium reading last night. The medium is called David Traynor, and he is great! I went to Levi's Showboat in Benidorm thinking that all that psychic stuff was a big fat lie, and I left thinking the opposite. My mum, sister and I all got readings. I was quite nervous when my mum got called out from the audience, being told there was a spirit there for her. Apparently, his name was Jack or John, and my mum couldn't relate. Then, another spirit came through.''A tall, well built gentleman who passed in a really sudden way. 'Hello love' he is saying''. Those were a few of the words David used. We knew immediatley, he was talking about my grandad, Donald. After a few descriptions and personal messages were told to my mum, she got quite emotional, and so did my sister and I. After a few minutes, David asked my mum to give my sister the microphone, because my grandad had some messages for her. Some of them were right, but a few of her messages clearly related to me, so David asked my sister to give me the microphone. Teary eyed, I answered with a simple 'Yes' or 'No' to the many things he was telling me. He told me that my grandad was always with me, and that he knows it is time for me to do what I want to do. David somehow knew about all my future plans, that I was looking to move into a flat in a different country for educational reasons, that a couple of weeks ago I was researching all the information about the different colleges, that I was worried about the fees and even the conversation I was having on my way to the reading. They were all correct. After a while, he told me that my grandad lives on in the afterworld and to take his love with me. It was a very emotional moment, which I won't forget any time soon. We left the reading feeling very pleased. Some of the readings were very touching, even though I am not related to the people who's stories they were. An old man, who got a reading from his twin brother and mother. A lady who got a reading from her mother and a young boy saying 'I love you mummy'. A boy who's school friend died in a traffic accident. A couple, who's son wanted to say he is in peace now, and many many more.
It was an incredible experience, and now I really do believe.
I now know my grandad is still with me, and that one day, we will be reunited.

Alice in Wonderland
Hey hey hey!
So, panto finished a week ago. Sad times indeed!
Opening night of 'Alice in Wonderland' was on Thursday the 15th of January, in the Careline theatre Alcalali. I can still remember the nerves I felt when I first heard the cheers and boos. We did 6 performances over 4 days, and killed them all! Nearly every night was a sell out, and I am honoured to have been able to do my first pantomime with all the amazing people who were involved. I will never forget! OH NO I WON'T!!!
I was told that Careline has decided to do 'Aladdin' next year, so all I can say is... ROLL ON ALADDIN!
I obviously have great things to do before that (Stepping Out, Annie), but I am really excited for panto at the moment.
''Lots of love from your friend Tweedle Dum!''

Charlie Hebdo.
Hey!
I'm pretty sure that all of you have heard about the tragic terror attacks in Paris these past few days. I am posting this in memory of the 17 innocent people who were murdered by 3 terrorists. All my thoughts and prayers are with the victim's family and friends, and may they Rest in Peace. On the other hand, I hope the 3 terrorists rot in hell for all eternity. #JeSuisCharlie

I'm back!
Hey hey hey!
So, 1st of all, HAPPY 2015! I'm sorry I haven't posted in so long, so I'll tell you what I've been up to. Since I last blogged, I have been to England with a friend and had an amazing time! I then came back and had a lovely Christmas with my family, and soon after, I fell ill with tonsillitis! I was ill for a week, and spent New Year's Eve indoors, with my cousins. This 1st week of 2015 I have rehearsed for the pantomime I am in (Alice in Wonderland) and I have started school again. Everything is going nice and smooth this year, and I hope your 2015 is going just as good!

Sunday fun day!
Hey hey hey!
Today has been a nice day, rehearsals and family time!
I started off the day at a friends house in Benissa, and then we went to rehearse for the pantomime 'Alice in Wonderland'. It was a good rehearsal and I always feel good when I leave Careline. Then, on my way back to Calpe, I came to my nan and grandads house (and I'm still here!). My nan made me a lovely bacon sarnie while grandad was working with some cables in the house. She said she was going to make one of her famous tortillas for me and my sister to eat, and that was super tasty! After that, we were talking about english meals, because I want to cook a friend of mine a typical english dinner. I decided I am going to make a cottage pie for them, but I didn't know what to make for pudding. I wanted something fairly easy, and I've decided to make a treacle sponge cake! My nan wanted to make sure I made it perfectly, so we had a lesson and made a beautiful treacle sponge cake with custard. Now, my nan is making a Sunday dinner (YAYYYYYYY!) and we're having a little chin wag! All in all, a great Sunday!

Why is everything going wrong?!
Hey there!
I was in England over the weekend and I came back on Monday, to days of disaster in my house! When we walked through the door, no lights came on, we'd had a power cut. Not thinking anything of it and just turning the electric back on, we noticed the alarm hadn't gone off. I then thought of the freezers (in my house there are 3 freezers) and I opened them all, to find defrosted food which we then had to throw away, cause it had been there since the electric went off. We then noticed our footprints were all across the house, the front door had been leaking! We sorted everything out, put the washing machine on and went to bed. Then on Tuesday, the wash from the night before was drenched, the washing machine had broken AND I lost my glasses somewhere in the house and I still can't find them! So I am walking round my house and the streets with my prescription SUN glasses on. Yes, SUN GLASSES in winter! On Wednesday I looked for my glasses like mad, but apart from that, nothing happened... Or did it? I woke up this morning (Thursday) with a terrible stomach ache, so I must have eaten something dodgy yesterday! Apart from not being well and not going to school, we have just had a terrible storm, which once again, flooded the kitchen! I am now going to get in the bath and try not to drown myself.
Anyhow, I hope you're having a good week!

My 1st Post!
Hey! So I have decided to write my first post. I am going to be talking about my favourite thing, MUSICAL THEATRE!
I have been involved in musical theatre (MT) since I was 9. I joined a theatre group called 'Footlights', a Calpe based group that specializes in musicals. When I joined, they were rehearsing for the great british musical 'Oliver!'. I joined the show, and I was a workboy and a part of Fagin's gang in the show. It was a great show, and I really enjoyed it. After that, I left Footlights, because the boys at my school told me it wasn't very boyish (now, I wouldn't care what they say, but back then, what people said meant a lot), and I joined the Calpe Football Team. I was with them 1 year and left, because I hated it. After that I didn't do much, but I did join the swimming team. I enjoyed that very much, but it wasn't for me. In 2012, my mother got a call from the secretary of Footlights, telling her they had made a youth group, Footlights Youth Theatre ( FYT), asking me if I'd be interested to audition for their next show 'Cats'. Honestly, I didn't want to audition, and I wasn't going to. Before I knew it, it was the day of the auditions, and because I was bored at home, I decided to go, and I'm so glad I did! I got the part of Skimbleshanks The Railway Cat, and I was excited for the show. When FYT rehearsals started for 'Cats', Footlights was rehearsing the musical 'Guys and Dolls', and I was asked if I'd like to work backstage. I said yes, and took on the job of moving set and helping with quick changes. It was a great experience. We then performed 'Cats' in February 2013, and it was amazing! We started rehearsing Footlights' next show 'South Pacific' soon after 'Cats', and I got the part of Professor. Before we did 'South Pacific', we had a professional actress from London come to Calpe and do a 'Les Miserables' workshop, which we then put in to a Summer Show. It was really good, and I learnt a lot from it. Before 'South Pacific', FYT decided to put on another musical, 'West Side Story'. I auditioned and got Bernardo. In November 2013, we did 'South Pacific', and that was fun. This year (2014) has got to be my highlighted one in Footlights for sure. I started the year rehearsing 'West Side Story' and we performed it in February. It was an amazing show, and I'm so glad I got to be in it. Footlights then had auditions for their next show 'Half a Sixpence'. I auditioned and got the main part, Arthur Kipps. It was a really big part, and I had to work really hard. After the Half a Sixpence auditions, we had another workshop with the same lady from London, this time based on my favourite musical 'Chicago'. We incluided that in our 2nd Summer Show, which was also great! After the Summer Show, the serious 'Half a Sixpence' rehearsals started. We then did the show in November and it was brilliant! I am still really proud of myself for pulling it off. Since then, I've auditioned for a pantomime with the theatre group 'Careline'. I've been going to Careline's productions ever since I was a kid, so it is amazing that I've been given the chance to be in one of their productions. The pantomime is 'Alice in Wonderland', and I've got the part of Tweedle Dum. I am currently rehearsing that, and I'm really excited to do it in January 2015!
So there you have a sum up of my MT history!
To finish off, I am going to attatch a song about show buisness, because I love the lyrics and I can totally relate to them.
