Working all night long

Worked from 6pm - 3am yesterday. Was fun cause I had to do so many diffrent things but that last hour, OMG! Don't think we never had so many ppl eating at Akalla. Or well, we did, I'm sure we did. But then we were about 10ppl working instead of 5 like we were yesterday. The good thing though is that time goes fast when you have alot to do =P But I still don't like to work at night so I'm happy that I quit at the latest 7.30pm in may =D

Anyways, don't really know what to write... Might watch a movie with aerie later but I have a headache and have to go to coop and stuff before so we'll see...

Georgina heads home...

Emotions high as Georgina heads home without tots
Friday April 27th 2007

Nicky Byrne and wife Georgina Ahern leave Holles Street Hospital yesterday after the birth of their twin sons Rocco and Jay

Office staff watch as Nicky Byrne and wife Georgina Ahern leave hospital yesterday

A GLOWING Georgina Ahern yesterday stepped out in public for the first time since having twins Rocco and Jay a week ago. The new mum shyly posed for photographs, with husband Westlifer Nicky Byrne, on the steps of the National Maternity Hospital in Holles Street yesterday afternoon. It was an emotional day for the new parents as they made their first trip home to Malahide, Co Dublin together, but had to leave their six-week premature boys behind.

And Nicky revealed who had been chosen as godparents. Georgina's younger sister and bestselling author Cecelia Ahern and Nicky's brother Adam will be godparents to Rocco, while Nicky's sister and her husband, Gillian and Mark Gallagher, will do the honours for Jay.

Looking remarkably fresh after undergoing a Caesarean section just last Friday, Georgina spent a few minutes at the hospital door before going back inside.

Speaking for the couple, Nicky said they were both still on a high after becoming parents for the first time. "We're absolutely chuffed. It's an emotional day. We're going home but the lads are still here. "Georgina is keeping well but she's not 100pc."

He said the babies, who were receiving special care due to their tiny size, were already showing different personalities. "They're very healthy and are progressing nicely. We still have no idea when they can come home."

The singer has had a hectic schedule for the past week, rushing between the hospital and the Point, where Westlife is on a 12-night run of shows.

So far, only close family and friends have caught a glimpse of the twins.

Mum Georgina Goes Home

PROUD new mum Georgina Byrne left hospital yesterday with her Westlife husband Nicky. But sadly, the parents had to leave their six-week premature twins Jay and Rocco at Dublin's National Maternity Hospital Holles Street. Doting mum Georgina, 27, daughter of Taoiseach Bertie Ahern, looked gorgeous in jeans and grey top with pink cardigan as she prepared to head home. Nicky, 28, said yesterday: "It is quite emotional going home without Rocco and Jay. "We don't know when we will be able to take our boys home but they are healthy and that is the main thing. "Even though we are leaving now all we are really looking forward to is coming back into the hospital to see Rocco and Jay. "And we can't wait to take them home." Georgina was rushed to hospital when she went into labour minutes after Nicky's gig at the Point last Thursday. The twins were delivered by Caesarean section on Friday morning and could remain in the hospital for several weeks.

Everything Changes

Just got a call from Denise who's at the Point watching Westlife so I got to hear Everything Changes and When Will I Be Famous over the phone :D Was great to hear it again so thanks alot Denise!!! Was obviously not as goos as actually being there but close enough haha! Can't wait for next years tour... =P

McDonald's and Idol 2007

Begun my new job yesterday at McDonald's Skellefteå. Everyne who worked seemed nice and the job was, well, the same as Akalla! =) So I don't really know what to write...

Worked at Idol 2007 today. Was guarding (??) one of the doors to the jury haha! Not the funniest thing to do but someone had to do it and I'm glad I did cause now I know alot more how Idol workes =)

Just realized...

I never ever in my entire life thought I'd be saying this but I just realized that I really don't mind if Westlife come to Sweden on their next tour or not. I'm now so used to go to UK/Ireland every year that it doesn't matter anymore. I already know more or less where I'm going next year. Ofcourse, somewhere inside I hope they will come to Sweden but I won't bother or even be a bit dissapointed if they don't...

Rocco & Jay

Bertie becomes a grandpa - twice Irish

Taoiseach Bertie Ahern became a grandfather twice over today when his daughter Georgina gave birth to twins.
By:Press Association
A couple of months premature, the boys named Rocco and Jay were born this morning in Dublin to the 27-year-old and her husband, Westlife singer Nicky Byrne.
She had been due to give birth in June or July. The double celebration comes weeks before Mr Ahern sets about trying to secure a record third term in power.
The birth was announced by the couple`s publicist, who said: "Nicky and Georgina Byrne welcomed with great joy the safe arrival of their twin sons Rocco and Jay, born at 9.55am this morning in the National Maternity Hospital, Holles Street.
"The couple would like to thank Professor Fionnuala McAuliffe and all the wonderful staff at NMH Holles St."
The Taoiseach spent today touring key constituencies of Meath East and West and Kildare North.
Childhood sweethearts Mr and Mrs Byrne have been married since August 2003 when their wedding in France sparked controversy because they sold the pictures of their marriage to Hello! magazine.
Mr Ahern separated from Georgina`s mother Miriam in 1992.
A spokesman for the Mr Ahern said today: "The Taoiseach is delighted at the news and also happy that the mother and babies are doing well.
"He also thanked the medical team at the National Maternity Hospital for their care and skill they have shown."

Tuesday

Was a while since I wrote anything...

I'm starting my new job at McDonalds on saturday... gonna be fun =) I've actually missed workeing at McDonalds. I just hope it's as good as Akalla was. My new boss seam to be alot nicer though so that's a good thing I guess. Then right after my shift it's time for idol. I think they're only going to tell us a bit about what's going to happen but then on sunday it's time to work! Not completely sure what I'll do there but it's an experience so it's gonna be great!!

I miss the Westlife-tour! Wish I was going to Dublin aswell but that's life. I mean, I did see the concert seven times so I'm very happy about that. But at the same time it feels kinda empty. No Westlife-concert to look forward to right now. Ok, I guess there will be a tour next year but no-one knows for sure and since this tour isn't finished yet - ofcourse there's no tickets for next years!

And school ofcourse... was ages since I was there (haven't had any lessons). Still alot to do at home. Two projects at the same time, one very very boring and one funny =) Or actually, the boring one that we have in MRS could've been fun... I think! If only we had another teatcher! I really can't stand him! He even has to show off when he's not around *sigh* ah well...

Anyways, American Idol on TV soon... BUT before I go I just have to write: ANBELANGA! =S

The Love Tour - Glasgow & Aberdeen

Ok so here's the longer version =)

Glasgow
April 5th:
Flew to Glasgow... Or actually, we flew to Stockholm, then London, changed airport and then flew to Glasgow so we were at 5 diffrent airports in one day. When we got to Glasgow it was around 11pm so we went to our hotel to get some sleep. The hotel receptionist could barley keep himself from laughing when he realized why we were there. At first he thought we were there for some dancing competition but well yeh, Westlife is a much better reason! Anways, was very nice to get some sleep =)

April 6th:
Walked around town to see if we could find the hotel where Westlife were staying. Instead we found McFly, random. They were in a hurry so we didn't get any pics or anything. After a while we realized where Westlifes hotel were and that it wasn't worth paying for a taxi to get there so instead we went to the arena so that we knew what it looked like. Was very dissapointed! We thought that it'd be the cool thing that lookes like the opera house in Sidney but it wasn't. It was the building right next to it, which looked like a garage or something like that. It also looked like it was built just for that concert and that they were going to demolish it afterwards. Later at night when it was time to go in, well, can't say the arena looked better inside! First support act was the unconventionals *no comment* and after them it was time for the MacDonald Bros. They were sooo funny =) The concert was just as good as at Wembley and our 3rd row seats didnt make it worse haha! Gillian, Nicole and Kevin were out looking at the concert sometimes. Nicole is so cute =)

April 7th:
Walked around town windowshopping all day. Had 2nd row tickets at the concert this night. Wasn't as good seats as the night before but still amazing =) Saw Dave walking around in the crowd haha! Anyways, Shane and Mark missed a few lines which was very funny and just before Mandy Nicky said it was time for Brians all time fave song... yeh right! Haha!!

April 8th:
Walked around town again, was getting a bit boring now. So instead we decided to stand outside the VIP entrance at SECC. Had so much fun waiting (even though it was cold)!! Met the MacDonald Bros and told them to come to Sweden some time. Then Nicky came... I felt sooo ashamed! Everyone was screaming like... well I don't know actually but I havn't heard anything like it since 2002. I was so angry at myself for being right in the middle of all those screaming people and even more since Nicky noticed us so me and Lisa decided to go in instead of waiting for the others. Wouldn't want to go through that again! The concert was once again amazing! Mark fell in the stairs once (mwahahaha) and Kian told us that he only had a kinder egg but he was still happy. A little while later Shane started talking to a fan and Kian didn't really like that since there was alot of other people at the concert so he started burping haha =)

April 9th:
No Westlife concert this night so instead we saw Sugababes. Wasn't really fair on them to see the concert right in the middle of a Westlife tour. Their show was good but we were so used to seeing Westlife so I think Sugababes would have been better to see some other time.

Aberdeen
April 10th:
Took the bus to Aberdeen. Which took about 3½h... a bit too long! At first Aberdeen was as bad as Sheffield was last year. We couldn't find a thing. Walked around about an hour trying to find our hotel, only problem was the we were looking in the wrong side of town. But since we're so proud we didn't have a map, I mean, we wouldn't want to look like tourists. But since we really couldn't find our hotel we went to the tourist information and asked. After that it was very easy to find =) And all of a sudden it wasn't at all like Sheffield. We also asked how to get to the arena... and we had to take the bus :( It really was too far away to walk. Anyways, we went to our hotel and when we checked in the receptionist told us that the MacDonald Bros was staying at the same hotel. Was very surprised that she told us! A little while later when we were walking around town I told Lisa how funny it would be if MacDonald Bros had a signing at HMV. About 2sec later we saw a few people walking out from HMV with autographs. So we walked in and ofcourse the MacDonald Bros had a signing, random! Didn't find Westlifes hotel in Aberdeen either (suckiness!) so we went to the arena instead. Saw when Kian arrived but can't say that it was very exciting. The arena was just as bad (or maybe even worse) as SECC. Some of the seats was outside of the actuall room where the concert was... if that's possible... anyway it was weird! And we were supposed to have front row but instead we had 2nd since we had all dissabled people infront of us. I really didn't mind but I still think the ticket should've said 2nd row and not 1st! This concert was the best ever, but I don't think the boys were too happy about it. Both Shane and Mark had some problems with their microphones. I couldn't really hear it but they talked to Grubby a few times so I guess there must have been something. But the funn parts was that Kian fell in the medley, Shane forgot the lyrics in You Raise Me Up. Not to mention the intro to World Of Our Own. It was a total mess! I'm not really sure what happened but Nicky didn't do the same dance as the others and the band didn't play what the lads thought they were playing when they started danceing. All 4 of them saw our flag and Shane laughed at us in Picture of you, very funny =) But the best thing was that the absolute last thing that happned was that both Nicky and Mark put their thumbs up for us =)

April 11th:
Last concert. For once I bought some merch. Was going to buy the Nicky T-shirt but they only had it in L and XL so I bought the 4 colour T-shirt instead. 5th row right in the middle which I think was our best seats this tour =) Got some really good pics haha

http://dublin-baby.blogspot.com

+ I will write more tonight or tomorrow

Scotland

Tomorow morning we'll leave for Glasgow and Aberdeen and a few more Westlife concerts! Gonna be great to see it again!

Ah well, back in about a week...

The Love Tour - London

Since Denise and probably a few others still don't wanna know anything about the concert this blog will be in two parts haha! So here's the non spoiler one:

Our trip begun friday night when we took the flight to Stockholm from Skellefteå. Then we went home and slept for a while... ehm... about three hours. Then we had to get up and get to Skavsta where we took the flight to London Baby!!! During the day (both saturday and sunday) we walked around town shopping and basically just doing nothing. At the evening it was time for the concerts =D which was amazing! Or should I say more than just amazing?!? Each and every year I think that this must be the one year when the tour isn't quite as good as it usually is but once again I was wrong! It was their best ever! The intro was fab, the setlist (minus one song) was great aswell and the medley... the medley, I can't even begin to explain that! They couldn't have done it any better and I really can't wait to see it again in Glasgow and Aberdeen!! We also met a few Westlife fans there =D Hanna, Carro, Karen, Karens mum, Trudie, Gemma, Charlie, Charlies friend, Mirjam and Mirjams friend. Was realy nice to meet everyone!! Oh yeh... we saw Dave aswell hahaha! You just have to love that man!

Ah well... over the more spoiling part of the blog =P

As I said the intro was amazing! For once it wasn't that very long which ofcourse made it better but it was also kinda unexpected. Atleast I didn't think the intro would be anything like that even though I did know that Total Eclipse was first. Before I saw the show I didn't think I'd like Mandy that much since it's such a boring song but Nicky really did it for me! He just gets better and better every single year! Have to say that You Are So Beautiful was really boring and I'm happy it's a quite short song... still can't believe that only Shane and Mark is on stage during the song. Anyways, What Makes A Man. Always good! And after that it was time for Love Takes Two. The first night I didn't really like that version of the song but second night I thought it was amazing! And that little dance routine was absolutley perfect! Then My Love which was one of the best songs during the show! Everyone loved it and waved their hands in the air and singing along. And as I said, Nicky's vocals has really improved which you noticed even more in My Love! =D Then it was time for the absolute best part of the whole show which also was the best they've ever done, The Medley! It started with a black screen that said The Medley. It then changed to something like This is our tribute to the best boybands of all times... Followed by pics of Backstreet Boys, New Kids On The Block, Boyzone and Take That. Then the medley really kicked off! First song was Backstreets Back and what chocked me the most was that for the first time Mark was actually dancing! He wasn't just moving to the music trying to get it right. He really knew what he was doing this time and he enjoyed it! Then The Right Stuff. The dance routine to the chorus was so funny! I didn't know it before but since the other medley dances was the original ones I suppose this one was aswell. Then the best song of them all, Picture Of You! Was increadible!! Everything Changes was the next one and was amazing aswell! But the coolest thing about the medley was that they included one of their own songs in it! Wow!! Hmm... getting a bit tired of writeing now so I'll just write about the best parts =P Fool Again and You Raise Me Up. Fool Again was (apart from the medley) the most enjoyable song. I rally loved it! And You Raise Me Up, well... it was simple and just amazing!

Had a great time and now I really can't wait! 3 days until we leave for Glasgow and Aberdeen...

And if anyone wants to see, here's a few pics (will add more after Glasgow and Aberdeen): http://www.pixbox.se/alb337872
