Maaori room opening

On Friday the 29th of August my mother and I, along with over 100 more people arose from our deep sleeps at about 4.00am. That is right four in the morning! We woke up super early to be a part of the opening of the new Maaori room opening at my school. It was quite a good turn up and we had some special guests. Buck Shelford who is an ex-rugby player. We also had Hone Harawera who is a member of the Maaori party in New Zealand. We got welcomed into the new room and had a plaque fro the new room. We went around and touched all the walls and had a karakia. Then we got seated and everyone got up and had speeches and did a waiata, which in English means a song. Something really cool is that there was a camera man there, it wasn't just an ordinary person with a camera, he was from a television channel. He was from Maaori television. He had filmed quite a lot of stuff but I knew that it wasn't all going to be on, like when I got up did my speech. However I knew I was definitely going to be on Maaori television because when the camera man was interviewing Hone Harawera me and my friend Jamie asked if we could be in the background and he said yes. YES! So I saw myself on T.V.! YES! Ha-ha! After all that stuff we had a feed and it was good! Over all it was a really good morning and I think it was worth getting up at for in the morning!

PRETTY RICKY

Pretty Ricky is most definitely the most amazing bad in history in my heart. I'm not usually all soft and sappy but if they were to tour New Zealand I can bet my bottom dollar that I'll be there no matter how hard it takes I will make it there! The main reason I am head over heals about them is because there music is so great! Best in the world! There lyrics are so great and the tracks they chose for their lyrics are also great. It would be my life's dream to meet them or at least watch them perform live. The members making up Pretty Ricky are:
Pleasure P (my favourite) He is the lead guy and the only singer because the rest just rap. I believe he is the greatest singer in the world!
Next Spectacular (He is my next favourite) Like he says in one of his raps "the ladies call me SPECTAC". He has an amazing body! ha-ha
The other members are: Baby Blue and Slick'em. Which are also bloody wonderful!
I have every single one of their songs possible and listen to them daily!
I LOVE PRETTY RICKY!

The Olympics

I really, really enjoy watching the Olympics. I love just coming home from school sitting my self on the couch after a long educated day adn watching the Olympics. Seeing all the countries of the world come together and compete against each other.

One thing I am very amased about the Olympics is how incredibly skilled people are at their sports. One Olympics athletes beat outstanding records, then four years later at the next one they beat them again. That has been happening since forever! We just get better and better, like a never ending chain. Damn, I mean how good can you get? Next thing you know people wll be breaking records with a second!

With some athletes I start to double think wether they are human or some hardcore athetic robot. Seeing people bike ride for about 160kms is outrageous, men bike riding for 6 hours, Too me that is just unreal, I would conk out after 20minutes. Also seeing teens in the olympics for gymnastics and that stuff, imagine being that commited at such a young age...

Rowing, I've always loved rowing and longed to do it for so long! I want to do itso bad but Whangaparaoa just doesn't have the gear or facilities. You would get so fit doing rowing, I need that! New Zealand are doing so well at rowing in the Olympics! Out of 8 heats we came 1st in 6 and 2nd in 2. We are doing great and I think we will carry that out well! I hope we carry on doing good.

Homework

Damn! Lately homework has been so stressful. A little bit of homework isn't bad but when you have so much to do i such little time it's bloody hard! I have loads of Math homework to do, I just finished my English or finishing right now by doing this. I have Art homework due and HEAPS of Social Science because I have been absent. It all has to be done in such short amount of time. I so can't wait to not have to do homework! If that day ever comes...

Pretty Ricky

Pretty Ricky, they are all brothers and they are all fantastic. There songs are so smooth and they are amazing at delivering! They have nice slow songs but also hype songs with an up beat. My favourite member of Pretty Ricky is definitely Pleasure P, he is so big in my life. Pleasure p is like the best singer in this entire world and his voice is so good and nice! I want to meet him so bad! He is the main reason I like Pretty Ricky! Apart from Pleasure P my other favourite member is Spectac (short for spectacular), because he is spectacular! They are the bomb!

Ludacris

Ludacris, now he is the best rapper on this planet, every other planet too. One of his main aspects that make me idolise him is the lyrics to his raps. Not only does he present him self great but the lyrics are out of this world. I would do anything to meet him. I idolise him to the max!

Boyz II Men

Boyz II Men 3 male singers, there use to be 4 members but reduced to 3. Anyway I am there biggest fan ever. I could just listen to hours straight off Boyz II Men song. They are so smooth and i idolise them! Their songs are so meaningful, kind and sweet. The lyrics to their song are beautiful and they have the most amazing voices.

I went to the Boyz II Men concert and it was honestly the greatest night of my young life. It was a million more times amazing listening live. I got to shake 2 of the members hands while they were singing. One of them was my favourite.

Damn they're so talented!
