New Zealand 85

Ladies and gentlemen, this is New Zealand 85
One, two, three, four, five
Everybody in the car so come on let’s ride
To Steward Island around the corner,
The boys say they want some fish and chips
From Franz Josef Glacier
I must stay deep ´cause talk is a cheap
I like Napier, Dunedin, Gibson, and Bluff
And as I continue you know they’re getting´ tough
So what can I do I really beg you my Bulls
To me Hawks Bay´´ it’s just like Taupo
Anything fly it’s all good let me dump it
Please set in the trumpet
A little bit of Cooks Strait in my life
A little bit of Westport by my side
A little bit of Wellsford is all I need
A little bit of Hanmer is what I see
A little bit of Wairoa in the sun
A little bit of Lower Hut all night long
A little bit of Whakatane here I am
A little bit of Wellington makes me you’re man

New Zealand 85

Dive up and down and travel all around
Drive to Paraparaumu and Hunterville
Take one step North and one South One to the West and one to the East
Make your way to Hokianga Harbour
And if it looks like this then you doing it right
A little bit of Hastings in my life
A little bit of Tokoroa by my side
A little bit of Rakaia is all I need
A little bit of Haast is what I see
A little bit of Te kaha in the sun
A little bit of Twizel all night long
A little bit of Masterton here I am
A little bit of Wanganui makes me you´re man

Where I see myself in 10 years

Since the age of 17, which is in less than 2 and a half years I would like to join the New Zealand army. In 10 years time when I am 24 I will still be in the army, doing tough, ruthless stuff. I have always wanted to join the army, I want a challenge, I like physical. My sister is in the army and my other sister's boyfriend has been. They say it is really challenging, not only is it strict and tough it is also good to meet new people and get out there and do something new.

A good aspect about the army again is that they pay for your degree and you don't have to pay for rent. I see the commercials on television advertising the army, I try to get all them tricky questions right and try to do all of them press ups and sit ups. It would be so adventurous and I can't wait.

In the army I would probably want to be one of them sooting people, who shoot guns. I don't know what it is called though. My sister is a driver in the army and has lisences to heaps of different vehicles like a tank. When your in the army yo9u get to travel New Zealand and all that, sweet as!

I would like to stay in the army for as long as possible and make the most of life!

Once were Warriors clip

This might be a million times too violent to watch!

I don't know if I should keep it on...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zesxZTz7CfY&feature=related

In this scene:

Jake the mus' daughter Gracie always keeps a diary. Which Jake is reading at the start of this scene. His daughter Gracie was raped by her Uncle Bully, the guy who is getting beaten. She wrote that her Uncle Bully raped her in her diary then she hung herself. This is after she has died and they found her diary and read this page.

Sorry if it is too harsh.

Once were warriors

Jake the Muss---->>>

I was going to make this blog about The television series "Outrageous Fortune". I love that programme because it is just a true West programme and it is pretty much true. Their lives they are living is pretty much how some people live in New Zealand. All the strength, strive and horrible problems they go through.

Once were warriors is the next step up, the highest step there is I think. That is rough, rough stuff. Truly how some Maoris in Aotearoa live. It is a great movie with horrible, horrible things in it. I can relate to some of it. Not all the really harsh things that have happened to the mains but the surroundings. It is a really strong movie that you will not forget if you see it. The actors are amazing! I love Temuwera Morrison, if you are clueless as to who that is he. He is that new guy that showed up on Shortland street. I don't watch that programme but I have seen the ads.

It invloves gangs, phyiscal abuse, sexual abuse, death, drunks, homeless and so much more. Something I found on the internet described it as New Zealand Maori's gang violence.

If you haven't seent his movie I strongly advise you to watch it, you will not forget it!

It is not really suitble for young audience at all! It may be too harsh for even you to watch.

It is the real lives some people live...

Kayla off Desperate Houswives

That stunts that Kayla has played over the last few episodes were absolutely preposterous! I just wanted to slap the little girl. Everybody didn't really know her and thought she was a perfect little angel. Lynette was the only one who really knew what she was like. She was pure evil!

I know it is bad but seen it is only a programme it is alright to say that Kayla deserved the slap Lynette gave her!

I am so glad she gto caught out! It was about time. Her father Tom did the right thing. Good work buddy!

Winter

I love winter when you are lying in bed cuddled up in you blankets, listening to the rain falling on the roof. I love the winter clothes, maybe a little more than the summer clothes. Maybe I just love clothes, maybe that is all it is. The jumpers rock and so do them skins. ha-ha! I love winter as long as I am wearing warm clothes or in a warm place! Its is also good because it is not like summer, stinking hot!

I hate winter when you have sports training or something and you are forced not to wear jumpers and all that and you are absolutely freezing your arse off! I hat winter when you are not wearing warm clothes like in school when you have to wear shorts or skirt.

I don't know if I like Winter or Summer better...

Summer

I love summer, I love swimming and just lying in the sun. I like summer because the clothes look cool. I am a total arse for just talking about clothes and all that but summer does have sweet clothes. The nights are still bright so you can stay out for longer. I love barbecues in the summer with your family. I like when you go out at night it isn't totally freezing. I hate when you go out at night in winter and it is like almost deathly freezing.

I don't like summer because sometimes it just gets way too hot and you would do anything, for an ice-block, swim, drink or shade but there is none around. At school when it is killing hot you just want to go home and sit in front of the fan but you just can't.

I'm not sure if I like summer or winter better...

I love my Daddy

I love my Daddy absolutely to bits! I don't call him my Daddy or anything that cheesy I'm just it using now. He is not perfect, he is not always sweet. He is just my dad, I love him. He spoils me so much and because I don't live wit him it makes our relationship even stronger. When he's gone I miss him and when he is there I love it. He has many children but treats me like the princess.

He is definitely not perfect, he is always late. When ever he says he will be there at 5, you know that means he'll be there at 8. He drinks a lot I would say, strictly Lion Red but that doesn't make me love him one bit less. I love him for who he is because he is just my dad.

He gets me what I want, but doesn't over extend the average barrier a parent should. He loves the T.A.B. anyone that knows him would know this. I'm fine with that. I love dad's cooking, yum! He cleans, he is the bomb!

I love him, you better not out him down for a second!

Strong thoughts

I always have really strong thoughts and opinions! I just had to share a situation that I always go through with you. Someone who is angry at you is yelling at you. Shouting all the things you did wrong. You know inside you have a really good explanation to back yourself up. It's not an excuse it's true, you know it will work and show them you're right and their wrong.

You want to share what this is so badly, you have to, you must! I wish you could, but you know inside you are going to get such a hiding if you do. What you want to say would make it all better. By you opening your mouth will get you in trouble though, it'll make them even more angry at you. If only they could hear you out and know that what happened was all backed up for a reason. If they just listened all would be over. Just sitting there taking the anger in knowing that this doesn't have to be the way...

(I am sorry if this makes no sense at all to you)

Losing a loved one

This morning my feet are sunken, my heart has sunken and my usual upright facial lines are facing down.

I would do anything not to go to school right now but my unmindful mother doesn't feel my indisposed pain.

Children around me seemed full of pure ecstasy but I was astray, lost in my own pale world. The skies were pale, aside with the pale buildings, trees and everything else that makes up my division.

Is this truly happening, is my mind inaccurate? Or is it just because me heart doesn't want to accept the truth. To this day Ii still can't believe he has gone. Someone has once told me that everything happens for a reason. God needed him more than us. It has a strong meaning to me, but I can't understand why god would want to hurt me so bad.

I snap back to realty and see my peers in my face, neighbouring me, asking if I was alright because I seemed deadly quiet to them.

I couldn't help the fact my heart had cracked, and I broke down exceedingly. My tears were stolen from the fatal loss of him, I can't help but cry unconditionally.

This is without a doubt my worst day at school. I couldn't work, talk or even see because my tears are blocking my vision.

R.I.P. my cousin, missed so badly!

Whangaparaoa

Whangaparaoa, I really do despise this place! I would do anything to be able to move. I mean yes, it would be tough to leave my friends but there is so much more out there. This town is horrible and boring! It's too quiet, I am not saying I want to hear gun shots or anything though. It is like a massive retirement village. Thhe school is boring, there is nothing to do at breaks and the options are very pittyful.

The people around Whangaparaoa are major bums. Not being mean to anyone, but there are random people you just see around everywhere who just walk around amd think they own the pace. Plaza bums suck!

I would really like to move to Wellington. Really anywhereut Wellington sounds good. Get right away! I wouldn't mind moving to Thames with my Nana and Grandad, but my mother won't let me.

I've always hated this place but no one can quite understand how I feel!

Boil up

Boil up is so delicious! A traditional Maori dish (major laughing). When ever I go to my dad's house or my dad's families house we always have at least one serving of this scrumptious dish.

In boil up the meat is usually pork bones, sometimes brisket but you can really chuck heaps in. Boil up always has just potatoes, which are just great. Sometimes Kumara, yum sweet, sweet Kumara! One of my favourite parts about a boil up is the dough boys. Dough boys are just flour, water and baking powder with a pinch of salt. You roll them in balls then chuck 'em in the pot.
Another top favourite is the greenery. Every meal has to have greenery and in this meal the greenery used is puha or watercress. I like both of them! Puha is just the dandelion plant but before the flowers bloom and everything. Watercress is just found in drains on the side of the road and things like that(major laughing again).

You cook all of these delicious ingredients together in like boiling water I think. I just eat it not cook it so I don't really know. Anyway it is great and the puha or watercress is really nice with tomato sauce. Then you pour salt all over it and dig in!

Maori style feed!

Boyz II men concert

The Boyz II men concert

31st May 2008 7:00pm

Logan Campbell centre Greenlane Epsom Auckland



The Boyz II men concert was the greatest experience of my entire young life.

It was more than I expected it to be!

I approached the place with a nervous feeling and left with overwhelmed memories.



Boyz II men sing slow soulful, harmonized music. They are not a new group but have brought out a few new songs. Boyz II men is made out of 3 African American men, it was originally 4 men but is now 3. Two of the men are brothers. All of their voices sound beautiful together, they harmonize magnificently! A lot of their music is to do with females because they are of the opposite sex, but their songs are about love and that kind of stuff.



I made an awesome new friend at the Boyz II men concert. We traded our love for Boyz II men and went crazy all night when they were singing their wonderful music. They sung all my favourite songs which sounded just as good live.



Can you stand the rain

Dear God

End of the road

It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday

on bended knee

4 seasons of loneliness

A song for mama

water runs dry

I'll make love to you

Motown Philly



and a lot more!

They also sung songs from their new album "Motown:hitsville USA"

which is an album of number one hits in the USA, old songs kind of.

Some of them are:



It was just my imagination

Tracks of my tears



I can't remember the rest but there was quite a few.



The best part of the night would definitely the bit where I got to shake to of their hands!

See I brought the cheapest ticket on sale, while I was about to find my seat someone approached me and asked if I wanted to trade seats with them. Which was good because he payed a lot of money for his ticket which meant it was up the front by the stage. My original seat was on the second story. Anyway I traded seats and got to sit up by the real front.



The first performances were by the top hip dancing groups in New Zealand. A girl's group

"The lil Saints" also the guys group who I personally thought were better "Sweet and Sour" All the guys were extremely eye catching!



The second performance was by Adeaze, they are awesome singers. Same sort of singers as Boyz II Men except Boyz II men are a billion times better. They had a singing competition with a couple of girls in the crowd, quite entertaining.



The winning performance was without a doubt Boyz II men! They were off the hook! It was at that moment I loved where I was sitting, well standing really because I was standing on my chair. Anyway I ran around to the front of the stage and got to shake my favourite guys hand and my second favourite! It was the greatest moment ever, I freaked in thrill!



Overall best thing that has ever happened to me! I left with a Boyz II men t-shirt and the most amazing memories ever!



I LOVE BOYZ II MEN!

It is 3rd period on a Tuesday and I have English, I slowly approach the door in an undesired manner. I wasn't in the mood for class and i was dreading this! I grasped the door handle, paused for slight second; the opened the door. Creek! The outdated, and heavy door budged open then closed strong behind me. I glared upwards to the ceiling then down to the front of the class where I was greeted by a very familiar face.


Ms Culiford had decided to give our class a second chance. A petite smile lit up inside of me. I clenched my seat firm and politely sat down, only hoping that the work assignment that is going to be given to us is amusing and something enjoyed to do.

"Listen up brats, your task is to write your opinion on Whangaparaoa College". I heard sighs coming from all sides of the classroom. All the students had disillusioned looks on their faces, I thought otherwise. As usual I like having strong opinions on what I think and I am not afraid to show them.

I looked out the window, beautiful, rainy weather. I love working in the rain it is insignificantly relaxing. I see no loud construction taking place outside the classroom, which is a change. I smell the pleasant smell of gas coming from the elderly gas heater. I see all the students with their heads down working away. Everybody was on task, I think they were just hanging out for lunch in an hour.

I am writing stacks of writing when I am interrupted by Ms Culiford's over powering voice floating through the classroom. "You kids can eat brain food, fruit" Brain food? Yes! I love eating brain food during class. It gives you a delinquent feeling, doing something that is not usually allowed.

I'm munching away on my apple and madarine, while writing my strong disagreements against this moronic school. I am working as hard as I was the first time we had Ms Culiford relieving in English class. This peroid all the other children were too, I was amazed! I turn my head away off the children and onto Ms Culiford. Sitting on her fancy chair, lucious brown hair and hair perfect skin with not a fine line in sight."wow"! Ms Culiford looks good, I say to myslef. She doesn't look a day over 30!

Although I have been thouroghly enjoying this period I am hanging on a fine string for lunch. Face it, no peroid of class can beat lunch time. Although break time is unconditionally boring I guess it is better than class time. The upside of lunch time is hanging out with your buddies. "Damn"! I just realised it was still raining, which means wet lunch time! That means I have to stay in my drop kick classroom. "Keep a positve attitude Courtney", I strictly remind my mind. I should really not ruin this perfect period by thinking about whats waiting for me after this.
