So... me and 2010

This year was actually a really great year! I had what I think one of the best years of my life. I actually can even tick a few things off my 2010 new year resolutions.

I travelled to 4 different places, that I had never been to before..
  • Tairua (thanks Dan!)

  • Raglan, (Petes home town) this was one of the coolest group trips we all went on. We went to so many places in one day. Awesome time management guys :)

  • Mangawai ( Murphs Uncles Place) This was a great lil break away from the city!

  • Palmerston North (Johnstons new home town) This was a cool trip. 6 hour drive with Adam and Jess...was actually really cool :)


A few other highs...

  • My 21st! Had the best 21st with my close family and friends.


  • Getting to know Jesses family better :) always in for laughs at Huber.

  • Storm 2010, lil sis Janelle gave her life! The best choice you can ever make. Was an epic camp.

  • Getting Bash! Finally got a lil kitten. He’s such a character and always makes me smile.



In the MEDIA




Weddings..




Nicole Ritchie and Joel Madden
These guys are so cute! I am in love with Nicole’s dress as well.





Engagements..

Prince William and Kate, cutest engagement picture ever! It’s like they never spent any time apart. I also like how Wills kept the same kinda ring as his Mums, aww.


Break ups





Scar Jo and Ryan Renolds
It is sad when any marriage ends..but c'mon Mr Ryan Renolds is back on the market, that can never be a bad thing :)



Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens
This actually was really sad :( I wasn’t a huge fan of the HSM series but knowing they were together even after the cameras was really cool. They should of got married!  " can I have this dance...."


My body...your body..

Kelly Osbourne
She looks really good now and I don’t know if it’s just me but her fashion sense has upgraded quite a bit.

Love your coast!




Recently I was privileged enough to go on this awesome field trip with my fantastic school to Rangitoto Island for a huge clean up.

At first I wasn’t very excited because I got told at like 10pm and had done pretty much an all nighter the night before. Being knackered and having to wake up at 6:00am was not my idea of going on a fun field trip with kids I didn’t really know.

ANYWAY..

I got to school early as and got onto the bus, didn’t really talk to anyone, not even the teachers. Then another dilemma.. I was wearing jandels... I mean c'mon... jandels + Rangitoto volcanic rock areas do not work. At all! Trying to look on the positive side I had to appreciate the weather and this island that I have never been on before and! I was really looking forward to doing something that would benefit this island and the animals around it. The kids lifted my buzz; some had never been on a ferry before. It was really rewarding seeing there smiley faces.

The funny thing was this Maori television crew was following us around called Miharo? The presenter was really cool but it was very awkward doing takes and takes of just walking past a camera. The really rewarding thing was all the rubbish that the students and teachers had picked up. We where all allocated to a part of the island and we had about 20 students and 5 teachers total, we filled like 10 bags of rubbish like huge rubbish bags. We found glass and so much house hold rubbish; did I say this was all on the coast?

We really need to think about our environment! 

 On the way home, I was on a total high! Spending a few hours picking up rubbish really made a change, even if it was small. The kids got so much out of it and it was great to see them so involved and plus I made some new friends :)
