A Day In The Life Of This Girl....

These Are My FTB's

2012-09-19T12:16:00.002+12:00

For those of you wondering what an FTB is to me or what the hell I seem to be talking about when I say it.

Its an anagram for an amazing group of girls who I call my best friends.

FTB = For The Brothers

and can also be translated into

FTB = Fob, Tongan & Palangi

(Say it in a fob voice and you'll see that the word Palangi really sounds like Balangi so it substitutes and makes a B)

Now I may as well break it down for you so you can all understand who is who and what, when, where, how.

Once upon a time.....
Im kidding, but really.

Original FTB's (Tree Trunk)

Relle aka Fob (Cause she speaka da england very well)
Ese aka Tongan (Cause she really is a tongan)
Milly aka Palangi (Literally the whitest in the group) This is ME :D

The Branches to our FTB Tree Trunk Family

Yasmin aka Ya-Ming
Tegan aka Chicken
Sabrina aka Brina Boo Bum
Evelyn aka Eviie
Liana aka Lee or Wiki

This happens to be the most amazing, mismatch, totally crazy bunch of girls I have ever met and I love them with all my heart. Not a day goes by when I'm not with at least one of them, or texting them or they're just simply in my mind. I have had the craziest yet most fun with these girls and the memories will be ever lasting.

If you ask me what an FTB is to me, it would be like the equivalent of what an American College student would call their college sorority sister or a fraternity brother. 'Sisters for life or Brothers for life'

Were more than friends but not legally or blood related (Apart from Yasmin & Sabrina - Cause they're actually sisters). But to us blood doesn't matter, were family and we stick by each other (most of the time) through thick and thin. Even though the dictionary describes family as being - "A group consisting of parents and children living together in a household", this literally speaking is the correct definition however it couldnt be any further from the truth. My FTB's are my family. If you tried to imagine yourself without your best friend/s, would you still be the same person you are today.? Would you still have all the amazing experiences and memories of things you did together if you didn't have them as a friend?

I call them my family cause they make me and made me who I am today. To me family is much more than being blood related, to me its about who stood up for you when you needed them the most and never left. And when I think about my 'real' family (Mum, Dad, Brother, Sister etc) they have done the exact same thing. So in my eyes my girls are my sisters, my mum (at times), my bro, my dad (occassionally), my best friends and most importantly my family.

LOVE LOVE LOVE This Song

2012-09-19T10:59:00.000+12:00

I can't get this song out of my head.! Its playing over and over again. I admit it may not be your style and some of you may think he's a "Justin Bieber" or a "One Direction" kind of person. But I can tell he most definitely isn't and for those of you hating on Justin, if you really knew his story and how hard he worked to get where he is now i'm sure you would appreciate him a lot more.
For those who are haters, obviously "haters gon' hate", but seriously go watch his movie, some of you may think its crap but its not it actually shows you the side of Justin Bieber where you realise that he was once just like all of us.

Anyways this is the song that I absolutely love and am super excited to share it with everyone. Even if you have heard it before its probably cause we get everything last in New Zealand (and for those of you who dont know where we are Google that shiz). Cause if I had to learn about all of your countries, you should be learning about mine too :D
P.S - We dont live in grass huts

Haven't Blogged In Forever

2012-09-19T10:47:00.001+12:00

Heyy Guys,

IM BACK!

I haven't blogged in what seems like forever.!! :O

But with me being so busy with work, my friends (especially my FTB's), my fams and my boyfriend (And Yes He's Real lol) its made it super hard to blog or do anything really.

So i'll endeavor to keep blogging as much as possible and keep you up to date with everything and hopefully catch you up on everything you've missed while i've been gone.

Much Love,

Hey Guys!

2011-02-06T22:27:00.000+13:00

Hey Guys, Yes you should be surprised I am actually posting two days in a row since god knows when. Amazing..!

So today i'm just really going with the flow, yesterday I talked to you about what songs and movies I am looking forward to or currently like. And today I changed up my site a bit with interesting things I have been eyeing up at Amazon that I'm looking at buying, and before you ask YES my favourite colour is green hence all the green stuff.

I'm adding in a new facebook fan page that I'm hoping you can all like for me and get others to like pretty pretty please all my lovely readers out there. I'm trying to think of a name I can give my readers, you know lady gaga has a name for all her fans so why not me. So give me some ideas on names for you guys and over the next few posts I shall make a decision and we shall have a name for you guys..YAY and the crowd goes wild..!!

Watched an insanely cute video on youtube before so I shall share my find with you here, watch it, like it whatever - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQVoAWSP7k4&feature=autofb

Also has anyone got any theories on the supposed UFO that appeared in Jerusalem, to be honest with you, I'm kinda all for it. It definitely looks pretty real to me. But maybe i've seen to many battlestar gallatica and Stargate. Check out the video in the link provided and let me know what you think. Maybe we aren't alone, maybe the government are covering up something, in ancient history it already shows hieroglyphics from ancient Egypt showing helicopters and other various kinds of technology we have nowadays. Explain that how 3000 years ago people had such knowledge unless we really aren't alone. The Mayans knew about it, so why are we being clouded by the government in their attempt to cover things up.??? Who knows but i'm keen for a discussion on this and to hear peoples' views.

UFO Video

Anyways that's me for tonight.

Much Love,

That is my current fav playing playlist. Hope you like it and do go check it out. Highly recommend these songs. Though I like more than others. Everyone has their own types of music, this is mine. Enjoy.

MOVIES

An absolute MUST MUST MUST SEE & BUY is Burlesque! I Love Love Love This Movie, Although Yes Agreed Cher Is Not In My Generation And I Preferred Watching Christina, This Movie Has the ability to appeal to all ages and all genders, because come on what guy wouldn't like watching a chick tease. And dont think burlesque is a taboo subject, it is not stripping - much, it is just simply teasing the audience with the added pleasure of not having to actually get naked. ★★★★★

A good family friendly movie that I recently rented for the children at work is Furry Vengeance the children loved the movie and laughed throughout the whole thing leading me to think it must of been a pretty good film, and for the bits I managed to see it seemed pretty good. ★★

Rented out this movie a couple of weeks ago and loved it, it was funny, enjoyable and quite a nice love story. The best parts are definitely the start and middle towards the end you start to loose a bit of interest and the hilarity in the movie seems to somewhat disappear. But still a very good movie and family friendly. When in Rome. And I must say has some quite nice eye candy in the form of Josh Duhamel! ★★★

Tron - I have to say the children I sent to this movie were really disappointed and thought the movie had cool effects but that was about all that they really liked. And to think their going to bring out a Tron 2 really.

Yogi Bear the children really enjoyed and even the adults liked it. I sent the kids for work and they all came back talking about it, and even though the bears are cartoon the rest of the movie is real life. A great family friendly movie.

Upcoming Movies I'm Looking Forward To:
Little Red Riding Hood - Trailer
Fast Five - Trailer
Breaking Dawn Pt 1
Life As We Know It - Trailer
Just Go With It - Trailer
Thor - Trailer
Priest - Trailer
The Green Lantern - Trailer
Jumping The Broom - Trailer
Pirates Of The Carribean 4 - Trailer
Hangover 2
Limitless - Trailer
Kung Fu Panda 2 - Trailer
Xmen - First Class - Trailer Preview
YAY! Cars 2 - Trailer
Transformers 3 - Trailer
Harry Potter 7 - Trailer
The Sitter
Friends With Benefits - Trailer
No Strings Attached - Trailer
The Smurfs - Trailer

So that's all I have time for today, hope i helped you out with my opinions on movies and song choices.

Much Love

Kia Ora People Reading My Blog (By The way Kia Ora is the native New Zealand way of saying hello - if you didnt know.)

So I promised i'd give you guys a double up considering I didnt blog yesterday. Lucky bunch you are huh. Oh and I'd give you juicy goss - which I so have.

So just to make things straight - HANGAR BOUNCERS suck, well actually just one in particular. So here's the happs right - I come out to meet up with Laanz, Bobby, Sarah, and her mate Rhys/Dylan in the car right. And he's busting to go toilet so Sarah just says go on the wall right (kinda gross I know, but hey its a wall). Next thing you know the bouncer comes around and goes "You're not coming in tonight, your peeing on our wall on our property." So we apologised and explained that we told him to, and that we're very sorry. So he stayed with Sarah while we went to go inside to go to the toilet - next minute the bouncer goes "Nah none of you's can come in because of him". Now sorry I dont get this right, we didnt pee on the wall - so why aren't we allowed in. So we just said are you serious and he was like Yep you're not coming in. Well catch you up. So we went back to the car and I have extremely long legs right, so it was taking a while to get in the car and in the meantime our glass (EMPTY GLASS I might add) smashed on the ground. Next minute Agro Bouncer dude is back out saying "Oo so now your drinking in the carpark on our property". So Laanz and Bobba Lobba said No it was empty but do you want the glass love, cause we can leave it here for you.

I mean yeah okay it was wrong to pee on the wall - but obviously this guy needed to get laid or something cause it was just not his night. So catch up Hangar Bar and Cue Bar here we come, which I have to admit was really fun. See i've never been there before so I was a bit worried - you know new place, different peeps, different vibe. But there was a mean band playing reggae, and I mean an awesome mean band. So drink up, watch Rhys/Dylan talk to some random guy with mean hair, catch up with Ku Ku Kachoo. And had heaps of fun..At CUE BAR!

So this really has nothing to do with my nit pick for today. But it was just some goss from my Saturday night drama's.

Nit Pick Time: People who Cyber Bully. Just to put it simply its not cool, it never will be, so stop now, like right NOW! I mean how do you get a kick out of it? I mean if your a cyber bully please let me know cause I just dont get it. I mean is it because you get bullied yourself so bullying someone online, where they cant see you and cant hurt you, cant really do much to you than hurt you - which you must be used to if your already getting bullied so it doesnt phase you. I really dont know. But why would you try to inflict pain on someone else a) if it happens to you and you know how it feels b) if you just do it to get a reaction c) you just do it for a laugh (ITS NOT FUNNY). I mean i'm man enough to say that yeah I've been cyber bullied before and to quite a bad extent and I know how it feels to be hurt and betrayed by someone you actually thought you knew (friends, someone form school etc.) I mean you kind of have trust in them and then to find out how much they're not your friends not who they pretend to be in person I guess is a big let down. I mean most teens now suffer from cyber bullying, but they keep it under wraps in fear that the cyber bully may get to them - since they said they would. I mean installing fear into a person is what movies are for, not for people to impose upon others. Like to mean it seems insane, a tad bit psychotic really. I mean you hurt someone in order to make yourself feel better - where's the sense in that? Really? I mean can please someone let me know, am I not seeing the greatness of cyber bullying - am I not getting the big picture? Obviously not because I see cyber bullying as a selfless, sad existence in life and quite frankly I hope you rot in hell.

The end Ta Dah. It was really that simple. I guess. I mean if you look at the stats, and how many people have even killed themselves over it, it just seems absurd that people still do it.

Anyways thats me for Saturday.

Much Love <3

Hello My Lovelies,

Haha Lolsz. No I haven't forgotten about you, this post is just a late one tonight, due to being busy at work. But stress less i'm here and ready to get My t-shirt time on haha..!

OhEmGee I had some kids today tell me today that I was too old to be wearing a Spongebob T-shirt. Ah Hello rude dude's - Spongebob was my generation not yours, you got our scraps. So think before you speak little ones.

So straight into business I guess....here goes.!

Nit Pick Time: People who dont appreciate the value of family. And come on its a lot of us right. Well not me, because I treat my family with respect and I love them to pieces. I think its absolutely disgusting when you see people treating their parents or siblings like complete S**T! Like I dont mean the one offs, I mean the people that do it all the time right. The people that constantly treat their family like crap..Well its you I'm talking about, because obviously you dont respect the value of family. Of how much they do for you, of much they really do support and love you. And anyone who has a really good reason to hate on their family is excused. But think about it, their the ones who are there for you in the good and bad times and the ones who are almost better than your best friends. I know that I can say I have such a great relationship with my Mum that I can tell her anything and I mean anything. Can you all say the same for either your Mum or Dad? I mean a lot of teens these days treat their parents like ATM's or just simply a taxi service, there comes a time when you need to pay your share and if your disrespecting them now, then when you actually want something, you might just get a flat out NO.! And then you fly of the rails talking about how unfair it is, how your family dont love you and no-one cares. When in reality you brought it upon yourself. Its kinda embarrassing still being referred to as a teen because of my age because I get grouped with the dopey people who do this = unfair. So end word pretty much RESPECT who you have and what they do for you. I would not be in the position I am in today if I hadnt of done so. Yes I'm not an angel there are times when things weren't right, but I made an effort to correct them. So try PLEASE..=D

So just prewarning that there may not be a Saturday blog as I have a 21st to go to. But its fine I will do a double on Sunday with juicy goss about the 21st. So until Sunday people Farewell, Goodbye. =D

Much Love <3

2010-12-09T21:38:00.000+13:00

Hey Guys, well its officially been a week since I started this blog and I kinda like it. The chance to be open and say what I need to say.

So had a pretty intense day today sorting out things for the work function and buying food for it at the one, the only GILMOURS..! (Haha there's a HOT worker there - but you can always be super cool like me and say how hot he is while he's in the next aisle, Wish someone had told me, cause it was MEGA shame.)

Almost died of starvation today, didnt eat till 12.00 - it was the most tragic time of my life. Love = Food.! But got so held up when we went to go get BurgerFuel, because there was a FAT crash on Dominion Road, so around the back ways we went..And then yum yum yum in my tum went the food, so Me = FULL & HAPPY!

Spent today wondering what to write about in my nit pick and it came down to Jealousy and more Jealousy, so guess what your getting today. The low down on Jealousy. How lucky you all are - jokes. And I am currently getting a tsunami like effect on the bed thanks to Ninja and Pebbles having a fight on my bed, Thanks dogs this makes my typing so much easier..Not!

Nit Pick Time - So jealousy yeah, granted we all get a bit jealous of certain peoples achievements in life right - like who isnt right its only a natural human instinct. Its when your jealousy changes you as a person and leads you into acting like a self serving, better than everyone else, everyone should bow down to me kind of person. And trust me its getting pretty rampant now, like its a trend. I guess jealousy kind of ties into bitchiness and hating and a lot of other things right. But why cant someone be happy for the other person and their achievements instead of turning their jealousy into hatred and taking it out on the person who's just being themselves. Doing things they want to do and be proud of. Is it no longer allowed that we as humans can do something great and be recognised or are we to hide our pride in the pure fear that we may hurt someone or cause someone to be jealous of us. Jealousy is strongly linked to insecurities, but why be so insecure about someone's benefits. HATERS = Having Anger Towards Everyone Reaching Success. Is that really how we should be.? As a human race if this is how we act towards people with hatred just for the pure fact that they have a hotter boyfriend, a better car, a cooler job, a nicer phone then what will we be like in the next 10 years. Are we really that shallow that we can create such a bad mix of emotions and launch them and someone who doesnt deserve the blended up crap that your about to serve. I know i'm kind of rambling, but doesn't it seem absurd that in a split second jealousy can split a relationship, friendship a partnership, and it only takes us a split second to realise what we've lost but because were so caught up in the hate and jealousy of it all we forget what we've really lost and the people we've really hurt. Anyways that's me on jealousy - lame I know.

But this is me, and I wouldnt have it any other way.

Much Love <3

2010-12-08T22:01:00.000+13:00

Its that time again, post time for A Day In The Life Of This Girl aka me - missmillyxx.

So went to the pools to be a helper for my sister and my korean's school trip and watched some chick nearly drown, like honestly I tried to help her but you know how they say there's no weight in the water - well its not true. I guess maybe because she was panicking. So two lifeguards jumped in and saved her and right behind them was another girl drowning because the girl before was dragging her down. So did my heroic thing for the day and grabbed her, made sure she coughed up all the water she had and got her to stop hyper ventilating. Made me feel kinda special, you know saving someone and all.

Anyways it was heaps of fun at the pools apart from the sucking up of water, chlorine in eyes, extreme dehydration, and overpriced food. And as you know the always over excited teens thinking its cool to pick on the intermediate kids because they got water on them.

Leading me to Taa Daa...

Nit Pik Time: 13 - 16 year olds who think its cool to pick on 11 and 12 year olds, well for starters its not cool. Okay I get that a little 12 year old telling a guy who's 16 that he's hot is kinda annoying, but get a grip. Their only little, they were just joking, and their kids having fun. And to threaten someone thats that much younger than you is not cool and getting a girl thats your mate to stand over them is double not cool. So imagine my suprise when they started teasing them and I ask them (nicely) to cut it out. And then one of the guy pipes up and starts saying what where do you come from like primary or something. (Getting pretty frustrated now) And my poor little sisters friends were getting a bit scared, my sister who's hard anyways just brushed it off so I just told them that they were from intermediate and to just leave them alone. So the other guy thought to answer back. Did your mother not teach you that speaking back to people is rude. So I just told him yeah they were being annoying but get over it they're little, their kids. So moved away from them. And then one of the girls goes i'm so sorry, we didnt mean to cause any drama. So I guess at least they apologised which meant they understood that picking on smaller kids was wrong, so I guess there was a light at then end of the tunnel. The only one so far out of my nit picks.

Yeah just watching Lost Boys 2.. Pretty graphic - random I know sorry.

Mmmmm Yum Lots and lots of blood. Funny. Yes I am rather morbid, I like scary movies especially ones with heaps and heaps of blood, I find them interesting and kinda funny.

Soooo..I know this was a kinda boring post today guys.
But more fun tomorrow. =D

Much Love <3

2010-12-07T21:36:00.000+13:00

So had a relatively okay today I guess.

Went to the mall for some lunch and watched as some rude lady working for the ASB ripped into a poor guy working at the Shamiana. Like I mean ripping into him like he was a piece of crap which I think is totally uncalled for, and then looked at me & Bobby as if to say 'I'm Right".! Which we didnt think she was, so she got the short sharp shock of us walking away.

Also went shopping today for my Korean student so she could have some new swimming togs for her school trip tomorrow, yes i'm such a nice homestay sister. Haha. Although she was extremely picky and was not used to our New Zealand styled swimwear aka THE BIKINI! So covered top it was and shorts, and we nearly resorted to a rash shirt (OHEMGEE), but I safely directed her elsewhere.

So moving on now to...Its T-Shirt Time - Jokes Really Itsss..

Nit Pick Time: People who don't pay their respect to workers because 'its their job to serve you' or so you think. Get this right was at the mall, and the lady started having an argument with the poor guy behind the counter because she demanded YES I said demanded that because she goes there all the time that she should get her lunch for FREE. Where does she get of thinking everything is free, she's a banker she should know not everything is free. So the guy offered her a naan bread to go with her curry and she took it, as she was walking away she kept complaining and he said but I gave you a free naan to which she took it out of her plastic bag and chucked the naan at the man. Now that's rude enough! So Bobby and I proceeded to make our order and let the guy know not to let it get to him at which point she comes back (and interrupts our order I might add) to have another moan claiming that she will not eat this curry today (Ah Well Eat it later see if I care) and she would like her money back. And all this time she's telling him he's a terrible worker and she's going to report him to management and who would hire someone like him. She then looked at us, like we had her back - but psych I was getting more inclined to tell her what I really thought (and it wasnt nice). Like seriously what is this world coming to - Is it suddenly okay to harrass people because you want something FREE! I mean how rude. It wasn't his decision to make as he was just an employee only the manager has the right to. I would of understood if she was a bit bummed about it, but to yell at this guy like it was his duty to hang on your every word. I know there's a saying "The customers are always right, because they pay my wages". By why should we be succumbed to this harrasment from a customer, I guess for the pure fact that it could kill a bit of your business as word gets around. But I think its totally unfair. I think customers need to start being more respectful, because even though 'it's their job' they should still be treated like a human being and not something you can walk all over. I mean like MJ said "Heal The World" and you can't expect to do that when people simply no longer have any respect for anyone or hold any value for things anymore. So I don't know this could just be me rambling on a bit. But reflect on it, how do you treat the people who serve you at the food court, or the people that take your purchases at the clothing store? Could you improve it?

So I guess that's enough from me for today, I shall see you all again tomorrow for more Nit Pick Time with missmillyxx

Much Love <3

Right, So Here Goes.

Nothing extremely interesting happened today. Went to work, cam home, went back to work and came home again. That was about the extent of my day really. Gosh its exciting being in the real world, honestly no jokes. But if you are a teen that is reading this and are still at school, don't believe what your teachers tell you, It is A LOT harder in the real world than you think it is going to be.

And just for future reference, if you have never worked before and go straight from school to uni, finding a job even after you've got a fancy degree is going to be a lot harder if the other applicants have a degree and a few jobs to back them up. Plus no dodgy stuff on your social networking sites, it is now proven than many boss' who are looking at hiring a young person generally check up on them i.e Facebook to see what they get up to.

Which brings us to...dum dum duuuummmm..

Ittttttttttttttttssssss......

Nit Pick Time: So my nit pick for today is people who are teases. Yes its okay to be a bit flirtatious and do the play hard to get, but it gets to a point when your just labelled as a down right tease. I mean I get the whole its good to experiment with other people thing, but leading them on into thinking their going to get some action or even into a relationship only to let them down cause you like to play games, well it kinda ties into the whole making yourself feel better but at the expense of others nit pick I did yesterday. And seriously if your going to be a tease, you have to expect that some guys will act upon it and actually expect exactly what your teasing them about, and then most girls are like whoops I was just joking around, I didnt really mean it. Either make the decision that you are going to or are not and stop teasing it up to seem like you are. When it comes to things like this its black (yes) or white (no). You gotta make a decision before the opportunity presents itself, because before you know, you've been teasing a bit, he gets you drunk, maybe slips you something in your drink and bada bing bada boom, you waked up the next morning next to him and wondering what the hell went on the night before, and if you were extra lucky because of all your extra teasing you could wind up pregnant or with an STD. Now try explaining that one away. There's nothing special about being a tease, you dont get a medal, or a trophy but you might get a name (slore = slut/whore) and to be honest I wouldnt like to be called that, or maybe the town bicycle - even better. You should be known for you, not for what you have down or who you have done if you get my drift.

So That's Pretty Much Me for today, I know my blogs have been pretty slack lately, but I promise it will get better. More tomorrow.

Much Love <3,

So last night I was watching MTV, as you do. And stumbled across this really interesting show, and if you thought I was meaning Jersey Shore - sadly not. It was called 'If You Really Knew Me.' I found it quite moving and very interesting. It followed five students from an american high school and got deeper into their lives and finding out about their struggles as a teen in high school. I think I liked the show not because it chose just the jock and the prep, but had five very different students who showed who they really were.

Toward the end of the show, the students and a variety of other students from the high school went to what was called a 'Challenge Day'. Where two leaders had them for a whole day explaining how most of the time people only show 10% of themselves and leave the other 90% out in fear that they may be judged for who they are. During this challenge day the big group was split into smaller groups where people were allowed to share their thoughts and let everyone in the group know who they really were, and if they really knew them they would know that......... One of the girls parents abused her for being a bad daughter, on of the guys said he felt shameful of all the hurt he had caused others from his consistent teasing, one girl lost her mother and sister in a space of two weeks, one guy got consistently teased for being a 'faggot' or being 'gay' just because of the way he dressed (He wasn't gay, he was completely straight), one girl (the prep) had to stay in motels with her mum when she was little just to get away from her dad.

In the end of the whole programme the students felt like they could be themselves without caring what anyone else thought and sought to make a change within their whole school.

Now I didn't just tell you all that for no reason, I told you because I thought it was moving and because it's slightly linked to my Nit Pick Time. So without further adieu.

Nit Pick Time: My nit pick today is about how people like to make themselves feel better, but at the expense of others. You know who I'm talking about or maybe you are the kind of person I am talking about. I mean where do these people get of? What makes them think it's okay. I guess some people do it to make themselves look cooler or better to others, some do it to get popular at school, but what are they really doing. Have they ever thought of the effects it may have on the other people. The one's that suffer alone with all the hurt they have caused them. Yeah it got them a few laughs and made them feel good, but they never stopped to think. It must make them feel vile and sick inside almost like you want to vomit, and if it doesn't then they are seriously disturbed. Why should they be seen as the cool, popular people at school who think its okay to bully the much smaller, not as popular, maybe not as pretty, maybe not as 'hot' people. This sort of behaviour is generally brought on from their own insecurities. And as insecure as they are I still personally don't think it gives them the right to harass, name call, purposefully try to make someone feel bad about themselves. For any reason whatsoever. Just think it may make them cool now, but how are they really going to feel a couple of years down the track. So my advice I guess, is if you are one of these people reach out to the ones you've hurt and offer your apologies, trust me it'll be a huge weight of your chest and not only will you feel good about it, so will the other person. And if you are one of these people who is constantly brought down by others, stand up for yourself and be who you are. There is nothing worse than being someone your not. So I hope this encourages you to speak up, start something at school for issues like this, stand up for yourself, be who you are and nobody else, make a conscious effort to not bring down other people.

So that's pretty much it, but I have a question.

If you were asked to share about 'if you really knew me', what would you say?

Much Love <3

So my day started off pretty normal. Woke up, dropped Paige home, chatted for a bit, went shopping to get the rest of the presents for my step-mum and Nana's birthday. Drove through Santa Parade Madness is Te Atatu Peninsula, got to love it.

Got to my dad's and have pretty much chillaxed(chilled out/relaxed) since.

But I have been thinking about what my latest nit pick will be about. Not about guys, bludgers or friends but about Christmas - pretty suitable topic at this time of year I think.

Nit Pick Time: I personally think that Christmas decorations as a kind of unsaid rule should only be put up after the 1st of December, Right? Correct me if I'm wrong though. But imagine my disgust when I walked into the mall 2 or 3 weeks ago and they already had Christmas decorations up and Christmas music playing in between the mainstream music. Not that I'm a scrooge or anything like the Grinch, but Christmas comes once a year and music & decorations should be a December thing. To be honest with you all, I don't like Christmas carols, they sorta bore me to death, yes its true there's nothing like the festive season. But the ongoing Jingle Bells seems to get me relatively frustrated. Not to mention the hordes of people that seem to inundate the mall and are dopey shoppers who don't know what to buy and should they get it is this colour or this size. I personally think, that if your going shopping for someone you should already have all the formalities sorted before you decide to venture anywhere near the mall to save the frequent shoppers the pain of standing behind you in a line whilst you make your decision. Not that I'm against Christmas shopping and giving, I'm all for it. It just seems that the mall is over crowded with inexperienced shoppers. Number 1 rule:Know what you want or are looking for, 2) Get in, Buy It, Get Out. Simple. =D

Cheers guys for reading. Small post I know, but I shall post again tomorrow.
Catch you guy's later.

Much Love <3

Sooo what to talk about.

Well did some collecting for Surf Life Saving today outside Kelston Shopping Centre. And we actually made quite a bit of money. I thought i'd put on my sweet and innocent face and voice and ask for money, and as people were going to give it either Paigey or my sister would shove their buckets in front of them before they had a chance to give it to me. CHEATERS! Haha.

Eaters Are Cheaters - Apparently.

So Paigey was asking this guy if he wanted to donate and she was holding out her bucket and the sticker and he said "yeah" and then grabbed the sticker and walked off. It was pretty funny. I guess it was one of those 'gotta be there to get it". Haha

Hmmm trying to think of my next Nit Pick, which isnt actually hard. Its just the case of trying to figure out which one I want to talk about. And trust me there is quite a few.

And before you think I have issues..I don't it's just that i've never really had anywhere to vent my frustrations, thus the creation of my blog.

By the way is wearing bare feet all the time considered 'hori'? Maybe that's why I wasn't getting as much money as the kids. Oh well my view on bare feet is that it is completely normal and there's nothing wrong with letting your feet and toes be free. =D

Oh did you know it's National Jandal Day in New Zealand.

Nit Pick Time: Is sick of people taking me for granted because of my age. Yes I may be 19, Yes I am the owner, not an employee, No there is no other Director, Yes you can talk to me about that, Yes I am experienced enough, Yes I have been doing it for nearly 6 years now. Like I understand where people are coming from and that if you look at most 19 year olds they're not in the same position as me. But why do I have to waste five minutes of mine and your time just reiterating my age, birth date, and that i'm the only director of the company. My birth year is 91' not 81'. And Yeah I'm 19. Its like a neverending story. (Awesome Movie That One Haha)
And to kind of join onto my last nit pick, when asked why I don't have a boyfriend. Its not because I have issues, it's just simply A) because I don't really go out much because I have limited time, so I don't meet people, B) Cause YES I'm still waiting for a 19 year old that is almost my equivalent - At the same time I dont mean you have to own your own business, house ra de ra. Just that you should be able to support yourself because if you think a relationship is about one person supporting another..Its not. A relationship only lasts if you can both support each other. C) I just dont really like the people I have met so far - too pushy and think that they are god's gift to earth (Its not attractive to have such a HUGE ego) - Like That Song Too. D) I'm still kinda sorta waiting for the 'one' which is out there somewhere, BUT i'm not gonna stop myself from meeting two, three and four if you get my drift. I'm no die hard romantic but I know it will happen some day. E) I have a rough idea of what i'm looking for fully in a person and so far there has only been one person who comes really close to it, granted not everyone is perfect. We come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly.

Right, my rant is over. I shall rant some more tomorrow.

Im off for tonight. Will blog again tomorrow.

Much Love <3

So woke up this morning with a sore tummy and got jumped on and woken up my lovely sister and korean student. Which then made my tummy well even worse than it was. Sooo my dear old mummy covered for me at work just till I could get up and get there.

Hmmm Just ate a bowl full of potato salad yum. Random I know.

Soo been searching for some things to do for internet marketing on Sni.pr (If you want this program click on this link- Sni.pr Program.Its AWESOME!) Anyone got any ideas of what would be good to sell online. Question: What would you want you buy online?

Nit Pick Time: My frustration when it comes to guys. Why do guys always pull the its me not you routine? Seriously if you don't have the balls to tell the girl what you really feel you never deserved her time or attention, why let them hang on and think they have a chance when really you just want to use them for whatever fun you can get out of them then BAM "Sorry its me not you". Dont feed us that kinda bullS**t, we dont need it. We are strong independent women who won't take s**t from nobody. Or the ever so pathetic "I don't think i'm ready for a relationship right now" then BAM again two weeks later you've got a girlfriend. I think it sucks to lead someone on like that, i'm not gonna flip it around and say how would you like it if a girl did that to you, cause knowing most guys they come back with "I wouldn't care", just so you can suck up your pride and make you feel like your the special one. And yes some girls still believe that one day they will find that one person that makes them feel like 'the only girl in the world' (Love That Song) and in reality your just one of the stepping stones on the way. And FYI why not make it at least a happy memorable stepping stone, rather than ones that they wished they had never had. And if your wondering do I think i'm going to find the right person - your answer is YES, someday I will. I dont need people telling me that because someone might not be what i'm usually into, or they dont live near me, they dont think they are right for me..whatever it is. I'll make my own decisions and yeah sometimes they'll be wrong, but they could be right and what gives you the right to try and ruin that? Its the unexpected things that happen that work out for the best, so why can't you just be happy, that i'm happy and be the friend that's there for me when and if it falls apart to pick up the pieces.

Ahhhhhhh HUGE weight of my chest.

There's certainly a lot more where that came from.

Okay signing off for now. Will be back on tonight.

Much Love <3

Well here goes, this is my first blog and I hope I don't bore you all too much, I just thought it would be a cool place to let out whatever is on my mind.

So spent most of today sorting out various things that needed sorting, work stuff, stuff from home, personal stuff, Christmas Shopping stuff, and the list of 'stuff' goes on.

I received my Parachute Wristbands today and am happy to say that next year at Parachute i'll be rocking a highlighter yellow wristband. And for the kids a nice purple one - which my brother is not too keen on. I'm already imagining the awesomeness of it all. Pitching the tent, getting sunburnt, listening & watching some of the best entertainers, and running hell for leather just to get a good camp ground spot - Psych not this year, i'll be going in early to avoid the lovely running at the start of each Parachute. Just casually strolling in before everyone = Priceless. :-D Want to know what parachute is click on this link - Parachute Music Festival

Has a bit of a nit pick to do on people who think its okay to bludge...FYI its not cool, what makes you think you can borrow money of people time and time again and then not pay them back. Hang out with them for ages and then find that your relationship is more important than your friends. So you ditch them for your new mr/mrs, and when it all falls apart you come running back and expect it to be all fine. Its not fine, and calling/texting to ask for a 'HUGE' favour asking for money is disgusting. What makes you think they would want to give you more after all, all you've proven is that your just using them for their money. What kinda friend is that.? Well certainly not one I want anymore, so until they can sort themselves out and realise that there are other people in this world apart from them, don't bother - there are not more favours for you.

Aaahhh that was a load of my chest.

So went shopping today to buy the kiddies Christmas presents. The best one stop shop for kids = Smiggle (and adults too but shhhhh). So bought watches, umbrellas, erasers and a few more things to match my (Smiggle) filled desk - and its ALL green. Which is my favourite colour. What's your guys fav colour? Just as a random question.

So today rewatched the J Geek And the Geeks video Maori Boy, It has to be one of my favs at the moment, so definitely check it out. Its crack up and there's some pretty nice looking Maori boys in there for anyone who is interested. The song shows New Zealand in a light and fun way so don't take offence to it. And if your not from New Zealand - To all the people who think we live in clay huts, we don't were pretty normal like everyone else. We live in houses, have streets, roads, cars, trucks, and even McDonald's - bet that suprised you. Although we are the 'tiny country at the bottom of the earth' were just like everyone else.

So click below for a link to the youtube video of Maori Boy i'm sure you'll love it and I guess that's me for today. Hope you liked it.
