Attitude

On friday we (year 10's) were crammed into the gym to hear a attitude presentation on something that affects us all, technology. Attitude is a organisation that goes around to schools in New Zealand talking to students about things that need to be talked about. Technology is a big issue in our lives now. The attitude talk covered how we can bully through text, Facebook, youtube and get bullied through those things too. Jordan (the presenter) brought a funny and serious side to such a huge topic. While covering sexting, suicidal rates, our digital footprints, applying for jobs, and many more while throwing in some humour too. The main message we all got from this presentation was to be careful what we say and do to other people as it can have an ever lasting effect on

What I am reading ?

Im currently reading catching fire. Its ok. Its pretty slow at the moment. I love the characters and the way suzanne collins paints the 'picture'. I don't know really it just the type of book isn't what I usually read, andI know everyone says it something everyone can relate to but Im kinda thinking the hunger games series is a one hit wonder.

But the again, the characters alone make me want to read. So far what i read is just katniss realising her forever fate and everyone (haymitch, peeta , etc) going on tour. I think the only thing really is making keep reading is how this is another book. Athough i tknow what happens. But i just want to know how it happens. Gah im tired of writing this now I
wanna read bye.

Poem

Sorry its not very good but im really bad at poems.

My tv is my heart and soul.
Its everything without i am not whole
With the flick of a switch
Or the push of a button, it turns on without a glitch.

It has Every programm good or bad
Even the ads which makes me mad
Hd tv, crystal clear
even when you get near.

The sound so loud it blows me away
Nearly blew me into monday!
When it's time to sleep, flick the switch
No sound, no picture just pitch black.

Best teacher

I have had some extremly bad teachers over the years, and some really good ones. This year, although i've had some really good teachers like miss kelly ;), miss cottee, ms mason. My favourite teacher still has to be my year 8 teacher miss irwin. Yes many people have called her to stricked (can't spell) and so on. But most of them are either stupid or naughty. Just saying! Anyway the reasons I loved her as my teacher was well her passion for greatness. Although some times I felt like dying, everytime she pushed me I felt like I improved and she pushed for greatness not just in her favourite subject art, but also in english, math and oh the wall displays! Another reason was her organisation. Maybe it because the year before I felt I had a really badly organised teacher but she always had everything in the right place at the right time. Also I loved how she did poetry. I learnt some amazing things. Also how she always had books on our topic which were really interesting. Also how she couldnt use a computer! Although we hardly used the 'smart board ' thing, we still learnt alot! I could literally go on for ever. Although I wasnt the teachers pet, I felt she tried to treat every one equally.

To conclude, she is the best freakin' teacher I have ever had :)

Olympics.

The greatest moment olympic history would have to be mr bean because its so damn funny, but aside from that the greatest moment in olympic history would be a jamacian team simply qualifing for the 1988 winter olympic games and later on winning a gold medal in 2000 for bobsleding that right. BOBSLEDING! And its a great moment because it shows great courage even compete next highly ranked teams even if they didnt win. I mean they trained on concrete in a warm country. It just truly shows the anything is possible in the olympics and if you put your mind to it anything is plausable. Although mr bean will still forever win my heart over and be the greatest moment in history

Group story

You know how people say everyone has a 'twin' out there somewhere in the universe. Well i didn't believe them.I mean why would god create two of me? but now that I'm in a parallel universe getting chased by every police officer in Manurewa in an ambulance which I high jacked in the middle of a marathon and has a dying old man in the back. I have a feeling I'm in some serious trouble. And it's gonna be a long story. It all started this morning when i woke up late like usual. And I have Ms Frem, the cracky old bag gives you an hour detention. So i pretty much ran to school, I took a different route somewhere I have never been before. Smart aye? and all of a sudden i trip and fell down a hole that felt like forever. And i drop in the exact same place in the exact same time. i was gobsmacked. i went round asking people where i was, and why everything looked different. i got ignored like i wasn't even there. I stumbled in a crowed of marathon runners. and then next thing i remember i was being chased by the police for being a serial killer. i think they have me confused with the other me. Well this should be interesting.......

I edited my story, and added bits,etc. Hope its ok ;)

It Should Be Me ...

One thing I regret? Well I have many to choose from. People say they have no regrets. Really? No regrets? Not one? Im jealous. I wish I had no regrets. I'll always have regrets and my biggest one was falling for a charming, handsome, kind, caring and loving man. And just like tiger woods he couldn't keep it in his pants. His name is John McClesh, if that is even his name. Two weeks ago he cheated on me with my former boss; Gloria, she flawless in every way (on the outside). And yes, she is the beautiful blonde that made it to the top by the size of her breasts. John and I broke up only two weeks ago. And now I'm the photographer at his weeding. Yes, you heard me. His wedding.

I contemplate throwing the wedding cake on the Gloria's dress, on a constant basis however that wouldn't be fun? Wait, that would be lots of fun! But I need this job. I watch as she gracefully walks down the aisle, looking flawless, I'm so jealous because only two weeks ago I honestly thought that that would be me one day. Walking up to clear white aisle to prince charming, with his stunning sweep fridge, ocean deep blue eyes. But he is just standing without a care in the world about me and not caring that just two weeks ago he shattered my heart. I shake it off. And press on with the job at hand. And it's not my fault if the 'camera' adds ten pounds to the size 6 figure she is so proud of. ;)

Without a second thought the camera flashes and now I'm eating my creme burlee. One good thing about this wedding is the food is to die for. I'm tired of mopping round this rather beautiful banquet hall. It's even more stunning than a sunset on the beach. There are lilies in water in vases. The simplicity gives it even more beauty. The chairs have light pink ribbon that are tied in a bow. The chandlers are dangling down off the roof effortlessly. So delicate that If a feather, light as air were to land on them,they would shatter. The tables were layered in rose petals. The cutlery had designs so gorgeous they must have been designed by angels. But no, sadly its not mine. Its Gloria's.

Seeing the happy couple is depressing. I weep, in my head, of course! Or so I thought. A kind lady walks up to me and asks if I'm alright. I'm hesitant to answer. I examine her head to toe. She's around my age and is dressed like a stripper. Short, small and barely there are what her clothes look like. Her eyes scream kind and caring so I answer. "I'm alive, thats all matters I guess?" I get a rude awakening when shes starts giving me a lecture on how life is a gift, and to treat it with respect. I nod in agreement. But really I'm thinking which flavour of ice-cream I will have tonight after this nightmare is over. I'm awakened from my dream with a extremely stupid question.
"So, whats your connection to the happy couple?" She doesn't exactly seems to happy for them but I shrugged it off. I wait for her to realise I have a camera in my hand, snapping up pictures of the wedding, and the name tag on my dress which includes my job description, I gesture to my camera."Oh right, blonde moment, you know us blondes." She laughs awkwardly, in a desperate attempt to keep the conversation alive she gives me her life story.
"Well, I'm an ex of the groom. That BEEP slept with the bride while we were going out and then broke up with me two weeks ago." Suddenly I am on alert.
"WAIT!" I answered. "Did you say two weeks ago?" "Yeah, two weeks ago, if i didn't know any better he only hired me as a dancer to make me jealous." "Oh gosh that is exactly what happened to me." This is normally about the time when I break down in tears. But I don't I freeze. Oblivious to the stripper; who's name I don't know yet shaking me furiously. I scan the room. Analysing every single woman in the room. Trying to figure out if they were "dumped" two weeks ago too.

About an hour later when the dancing had begun. I gather a bunch of woman. Thirteen to be exact. Thirteen woman were dumped exactly two weeks ago for the same reason. Thats 2 girls per day including me.John is exiting the hall to go toilet, now is our only chance to confront him, I instruct the girls to cover all exits. I stand outside the cubical. Waiting for him to come out. I question why I'm doing this. What will it achieve? I don't have time to answer. The door slowly creeks open. My heart is pounding, I stand proud. He enters, jumps in fear. "Oh my. Um judy, how is it going? Thanks for taking the photos, your photographs are amazing." There is a sense of fear in his voice, and so there should be. "Really? Why thank you! You know what else you might find amazing. That you can date fourteen girls at the same time. Plus have an affair You made me feel like I was the one, you made all of us feel like we were the one. Now it's time for revenge."

I think about what I just said and realised I was repetitively pounding his head into the tap. Blood gushing everywhere like a river that never stops. I stop with a sudden jolt as he screams in pain. I think about how the most humane way to kill an animal is normally to gas or slit their throat and without a second thought I yanked a sharp necklace of a girl and slowly slide it through his throat, with such ease, like a hot knife through butter. And lets just say after a few more kicks to the head he was not screaming anymore. I shrink into a ball knowing the consequences of my actions, but I can't help but feel a sense of relief. My thought were interrupted with the sound of flashes and an annoying tv show presenter saying "What do you say, will you give john another chance judy? Because you just got pranked by HOLY SHIT. 911 NOW!"

I never thought nearly killing someone could be so satisfying and so horrible at the same time, if only he had talk to me. Told me the truth, i'd wouldn't have gone that far. To this day I have no regrets. I let go of the past, lets hope john can too. I think I still love him.

My reflection

Sigh. This term has been boring, exciting and awkward. But this term has been better than i expected. I like the majority of my teachers. Except for my science teacher. Lets just her teaching style doesnt suit me. I feel more relaxed this year. I kinda havent learnt anything important. But all my classes has been fun( except science). English has good, i didnt enjoy watching whale rider again. But the assesments are fairly easy and the blue books have some good activities. The english homework, is the best. Its more organised and its interesting to post on a blog. I hope term 2 is as 'interesting'

Kony...

Ahh. Kony 2012. Everyone talks about Kony 2012 and how it is scamming us, how they used millions of dollars to create this movie and it's a load of bull. And I stand there and laugh.

I ask them what was the point of the video. And they tyical answers were; "to get us to donate money and get the action pack". But the whole thing about Kony 2012 is to get people to know and learn about Kony and the terrible things he did. The reason I laugh at them is because the video they called pointless, has achieved its goal. Them talking about video has made the video a success. No matter how much money they spent on the video they achieved their goal and millions now know konys name.

I'm super annoyed at the media. They all say kony 2012 is a lie. The facts are a lie. Its so confusing. They need to make up there minds. They still can't deny kony is real and the things he did were real. He may not be in uganda anymore but he was there. Also the maker of kony2012 was found masterbaiting and naked in public, hes also trying to do something good, its not like he is trying to sell drugs. He is trying to shine light a criminal. So give him a break and stop judging him.

I dont love kony 2012, it has its flaws, but its heart is in the right place :)

KONY if your reading this I personally hope your tortured and killed :)

Book review

Lock and Key
Author: Sarah Dessen

I chose to do my review on Lock and Key because I love the author. And she it known for her amazing romantic novels.

Lock and Key is about ruby abandoned by her flakey mother, she is forced to live with her sucessful older sister until she turns 18. Her life was turned upside down, everything is so fancy, new clothes, private school and more. She didn't fit in. The only person who understood was Nate. The popular boy next door. Maybe he was hiding something.

I love this book because although the summary sounds cliche it's quite the oppsite. Its down to earth and realistic. You feel like ruby's best friend. She tells you everything. I love the way through out the book she had flash back to when she was struggling with her mother. The relationships between the characters was amazing and for example the relationship between ruby and her sister is extremly awkward at first and you can feel the awkwardness, it is like your apart of their relationship. As their relationship develops and they grow fonder of each other so do you.

Also the classic love story for me is a must, but this one also has some major twists in it, some i personally didn't see coming. Like in one of the twists instead of embracing her life, ruby decides to return to her crappy life, old school. Even when nate has shown an insterest in her and she likes him back. Sarah dessen explains it better :). I would recommend this to young adult. As there are some refrences to drugs and sex. And Females of course.

This book has me gribbed to its pages, so much pages i loved so much i read them over and over and showed everybody. This is a book I'd recommend without a second thought. I give this book 5 out of 5. My 2nd favourite book.

My holidays :)

My holidays were, lets say interesting. They started out great; spending most of my december days with my friend brittany. We mostly chilled, walked, spent huge amounts of money on silly string and did  brittanys paper run.  So far it was turning out to be the best holidays yet. But then about 22nd of december, my 'friend' kinda spoiled it. So i spent my christmas days with a broken heart.  Christmas had passed. I meet up with old mates and brittany again. We saw Journey 2, Mysterious island. I also slept alot. I then got swept off my feet. By my auntie and uncle of course. They let me stay in their hotel in the viaduct. We ate at soul the best resturant in the world. Lovely drinks, crispy salad, melt in your mouth tortillini, creamy creme burlee and oh my the best thing was the cauliflower balls. Like i said. My holidays were interesting, i cried, i laughed and  i even juggled. I hope your holidays were as fun as mine
