April Favourites.

Music! The Man by Aloe Blacc has honestly not stopped playing like I’ve listened to it over a hundred times and im still not sick of it yet!

Faul & Wad Ad vs. Pnau-Changes video clip its just like a bunch of kids teepeeing the city with leaf blowers its cool as and one of the kids on there looks like one of Tons ops ahahaha!

ED FREAKING SHEERAN. I will forever love this man and I just can't even! Way too much fangirling this month man! His new album comes out in June and that's too much to handle but his new single Sing came out which is obviously beautiful, my favourite part is "I told her my name and said, "it’s nice to meet ya," and then she handed me of a bottle of water filled with tequila. I already know she's a keeper just from this one small act of kindness I'm in." Then him and Christina Perri did a song Be My Forever and it's just so happy and like makes yew want tew smile! And theeeeen I found the song All My Life and I dunno how old it is or like where it came from but I love it!

Hedley's "Anything" is so cool, I love it even though it has cusses ahahahaha but it's real cool and I like that it's been put out now, for our generation sorta thing hahah that's so ugly but it's cool coz we can do anything!

Everyone knows the haaansim song #Selfie by the Chainsmokers but there's this youtube fulla Sam Tsui, who does like an acoustic version and I like it a lot hahhaha. When all the girls were all here I played it and Jade and Rai were craaacking up far it was funny!!

Then ohmygosh When You Were Mine by Taylor Henderson. That song is honestly so beautiful I love it so much, like it's perfect. The lyrics are majestic ahahaha but I honestly hope the girl who he's singing about went back to him because like it's honestly to perfect not too.

I've been addicted to Sammy J, Kolohe Kai, and Spawnbreezie faaar out! It all started when Rawiri was playing Mr. Sun on the guitar and Teah was singing it, so big ol thanks to you two! Ken and Colesh were listening to Ehu Girl and then were like what does Ehu even mean! Then Matua looked it up and it means like blonde haired girl so they all call me Ehu Girl and I love that so much! Then after CNI I got more music that they were all playing, all them reggae saaaongs! And it’s so ugly but Because I Got High has been stuck in my head for the longest time ever and its so ugly but I love that song ahahahha then Tristan was jamming it hard the whole time at CNI. I love all that kind of music now and I probably wouldn't of ever even heard it if I was still at Lytton haha!

John Mayer. That's all i have to say. he's beautiful and perfect in every way.

Same for Chester See. I love that man more than I love school. And coming from me that's saying a lot!

Um then my favourite trip would be the CNI one to Te Awamutu, because it was just so amazing and perfect but closely beging that is our Auckland trip coz that was amazing as well!

Ngaw my favourite couple is Ton and Caleb! He goes out with her but she doesnt go out with him ahahahaha but they sat together the whole way to Te Awamutu and then he asked her to the movies and then they talked on the phone for two hours and i just love them so much!

thats it i think!

Everyone's growing up.

Yes it's late and yes I'm already crying! Over the past couple of weeks it's really dawned on me that life is a big deal hahahaha. Everyone around me has already grown up so much since I first met them. Like everyone my age are basically adults! It's our last few years of highschool and then that's it we're out in the world where anything can happen. 

So many people around me are doing grow up things all the time, they have jobs, are drinking, leaving school, having babies! And like it's not all bad like that's not completely bad stuff and who am I to say what's good and what's bad, but it's grown up stuff sorta and I'm just here watching my disney movies and still talking to Ton about boy germs hahahahha! Even just seeing on Facebook what people who I'm not even really close with are doing with their lives, everyone just seems so grown up. Everythings so serious, every decision seems so life changing when actually it's not. 

I'm really sad that this is my last ever year at highschool because I honestly love my school so much and love everyone who goes there, it's so easy to be friends when you see them everyday and that means the reality is that after highschool we're not gonna be as close as we are now. Like I know that I'm gonna try my very dang hardest to keep the bonds with my "mains" ahahahaha but like me Olea, Teah, Donny, Angel and Bly will hopefully still be real close when we're all older and then Ton will still be close with her crew which means we will too and then like olea and teahs family will still be with them and that doesn't even make any sense but I dunno. Like movies and glee hahaha make it out that they all go off and never ever see eachother ever, and maybe that will happen but right now I can't see that happening. I don't even really know what I'm even saying. 

Everyone's growing up and I find that scary, I wanna stay in highschool forever but then I literally cannot wait and never stop thinking about next year and when I'm an adult and everything! And with everyone doing adult things around me, you do you and dont do anything too stupid, and I'm totally not saying that I'm completely innocent and never do or say anything bad because I do and in today's world honestly no-one is perfectly clean and like perfect, not even Teah! Everyone's changing and we're all being made to make decisions that we'll carry with us for the rest of our lives and that's scary as heka but for now I'll just go eat pizza and laugh at stupid uni-corns with my Mormon buddies :D 

81/100 Happy Days.

Woke up to Matua saying big words again hahaha, the. We packed everything up and cleaned up the whole whare. It's Colesh's birthday! And everyone forgot including her but Lloyd was like oh Happy Birthday so then we were all shouting and yelling hahahaha! Then once we were all packed up and squashed into the vans we were off. We were talking about something to do with boy germs and like sharing drinks then Caleb pulled out his drink bottle that said don't share spit and just held it there with the hansimest face ever ahahahaha. So then we got to the courts and like went our separate ways, I went with the boys, it was raining haaard out so me and all the boys who didn't make it into the team stayed in the car and Matua was talking to his mate from Tolaga and he was talking about me and was like oh that's actually a girl not Billy Ray Cyrus far it was funny, little idiot! 

We went out and I was watching Matt, tryna take photos of him and it was honestly so windy far out and then it was raining hard out so they all went inside. Everyone had ditched me hahaha but they all came back and we hung out in the clubrooms waiting for the rugby boys, I had to take off like all my clothes coz they were soaking. Donny rang up. We were just using the wifi hahaha, the girl who Shagan met yesterday actually came and watched him faaaar it was ugly and coz he called her off my phone we had her number so Fagan rung her up hahaha. The boys were finished and we all piled into the van, it was cold and rainy as.

We went back to the stadium and we watched the basketball. My sport ahahaha! But tall boys yes ahahaha! I was so ugly coz the ball like bounced over to me and I was hansim as wearing no shoes coz they were wet, but I kicked the ball away and the guy came and grabbed it then I was like "he likes me" to Georgette but John heard me and was cracking up hahaha. So then everyone was finished their trials and all the schools came back together and the teams were called. I'm so proud of everyone who came, whether they got in the team or not they did their absolute best and gave it everything they had, love all those little munchkins! 

After the teams were called and most of the schools had left some of our girls had showers and we were just waiting in the gym. Matt got this girls number and then was texting her off my phone, everyone used my phone that week, soz mum. We got some lunch and Ngawai kept calling Caleb John far it was funny. All piled back into the car and tried to find our way, it was raining haaard out and the wind was real strong! We got lost twice and eeeeveryone was so mad and it was like all the negativity everywhere farout man! But ww end and got some petrol and then we were on the right track to get to Tauranga.

Everywhere was flooded, like it was honestly cyclone weather, the roads had like lakes on them and we drove through this big as puddle and Caleb was like seeeeeig the whole way far it was funny! We were all like little kids looking out the windows at the floodedness! The Lloyd was like I've never seen a river so angry and we all craaaaacked up far out it was so funny! Then Hori, Caleb and Ton were all being dickheads about my ugly mole so I put a plaster over it. We got to Tauranga and me and Ton did a big as shop then nah card declined again far it was shame as! But then mum put some money through. We got some food. Ken accidentally stole something and was freaking out and didn't know what to do so I was like well do you wanna just kept it or go back and she was so scared but knew she would feel so guilty if she just took so I was like taaah come on bei I'll do all the talking for you! Which I was actually surprised about coz I'm usually always the one who's too scared to do stuff and Ton has to do it for me but it was allgoods and she just went through and bought it.

Then just traveling, laughing, annoying Ton and Caleb so much, far they're so ugly but so cute man! The journey went fast as! We were all just listening to music, jamming Lloyd's sounds which I actually like hahaha. We got to the petrol station and everyone got drinks and that. We lost the coke lid and everyone had to help look for it then while we were looking for it Tristan lost his top up I just bought for him farout hahaha but I got mini m&m's which made me happy as ahahaha. John jumped up the front coz he couldn't handle all the gossiping at the back, so Lloyd was lying on the ground and then eventually Ton lied down there as well and Caleb has his feet all up in Lloyd's face. Far then Lloyd had his feet like under Tristan and Tristan was like aye aye aye watch were you put those feet then Lloyd the hansim goes oh was I slicing you far it was funny! Everyone was asleep through the gorge and stuff then after Matawai we picked up some people who's car had broken down. We had to re-arrange everything so everyone could fit. We were all being so ugly I felt bad for the girl who had to listen to us be idiots! We were all talking about Tristan and Rai faaar it was funny then when we were almost in TK  Tristan and Lloyd were having the fattest argument about TK and Whatatutu far out it was so funny they were like at you see that big sign, nah all I see is Te Wharepaku, at least I'm not from Whatatutai it was funny as and we were all so loud! 

We got to school and unpacked all the vans, then said Karakia and all had to say goodbye and go home :'( me Ton and Lloyd went with Matua and the three other people we picked up, so we were all suuuuppa squashed up but then me and Ton got dropped off, no one one home, lights all off hahaha but it was alright. Wifi yoooss! Everyone was making statuses and we all missed eachother already! I love everyone who went on that trip and am so grateful that Matua Sol and Koka Karyn let me go, because it was honestly the best four days like ever man, I loved it so much and just love our school and everything that we're about. Peace!

CNI: Day Three.

This morning we got a nice wake up of Matua like recapping the day before but really formally hahaha. We had breakfast then another motivational talk video. We separated the vans for girls and boys, and we were jamming the sounds all the way to the courts, we were real early, like the first ones here even before the coaches, so all the girls did Zumba as their warm up, it was real cool but they stopped when the other girls got there. 

They did warm ups and some session rotations, one of them was a fitness  challenge and Tamara was honestly amazing at the plank and the coach used her as the example for everyone and was just raving about how good she was and all the other girls had their booths right up in the air and so they lasted longer, when Tamara dropped the coach was like aw I'm so disappointed and I was so mad coz yeah all those other girls lasted longer but only coz they weren't doing it properly! So proud of Tamara and Ton aswell who outlasted everyone in her group, but she was on her knees because her ankle was playing up and so all the other girls were staring her doooown but she was still keeping her bum down! 

Colesh really stuffed up her ankle and it was real bad so she couldn't carry on which she was guttered about. Georgette came back and the doctor said she wasn't allowed to play either, she showed us the photo if her Harry Potter arm hahaha! At lunch we were like the cool r kids playing our music and just tryna fix all our injuries, I was like far out I'm a qualified ambulance driver now and then Huia was like oh yeah and I'm a fireman now hahah it was funny as! 

Then it was the trials all our girls were so good, like I'm honestly so proud of them all, you could see how hard they were all going no matter how sore and tired they were they gave it everything they had. I was taking photos on Coleshes iPhone and I froze it, far out I was freaking the heck out!! But she was alright about it and it fixed itself later on, love you Colesh! Then we went to the supermarket for the third day in a row. We were in the van with the boys and it stunk so bad! It was cool as coz me and Georgette go to sit in the back and go out the boot hahaha! 

We got home and made dinner, then I went down to the pool with Tarm and I cleaned it hahaha coz the boys messed it all up, but I just put my legs in coz I had no more clothes or towels left hahahaha. After we all had dinner I had to run the reflections so I had to video each of them and just interview them about the day and it was soooo hard like it was real difficult tryna make them talk about the day, asking open ended questions and like yeah I was repeating questions but it was alright I guess! Far out I was so tired and done ahahah I had a shower finally then almost fell asleep on the couch, but I helped Matua with the budget then I was like do need me for anything else and he was like yup hold up but nah I fell asleep ahahaha then he sent me to bed and sleep time. 

CNI: Day Two.

This morning we got hansimly woken up at 4.30, two hours earlier than when we had to farout!! Mischooof little fullas! We thought it was Matua who told them to tell us to wake up but ah nah. But we all got up and got dressed,had breakfast then we still had time left so Matua got us all to listen to this motivational talk thing which I thought was really cool and we did that the next day aswell, but the line I specifically remember was "you wanna succeed as much as you wanna breathe" or something like that and I just really like that! After we were all packed up for the day we were off! Across the road from where we were staying there was this huge aaaaaas flying fox like it was honestly so mean!! There was a paddock full of deer and Caleb was like oooh I'm gonna get that one and I was like aye with what gun and the hansim that he is lifted up his shirt and was like this one far it was funny! 

We travelled our twenty minutes and were one of the first schools there and there was a playground and all us sixteen and seventeen year olds went and played on it hahahaha it was so much fun but then another school came so we all went back to the van, we were being the cool as kids playing our music from the speaker hahahaha! Then all the schools gathered round the door and Matua Sol was the one who started it all off and all of us were like oh here we go it had to be him aye ahahaha but it was cool coz we're a cool school, later on we were like at Matua shoulda just yelled Shortland Street and we'd all yell clear and he was like at next minute yous leave me hanging and I'm looking like and idiot advertising Shortland Street 7pm Monday to Friday faaar it was a crackup! Then we had sort of an untraditional pakeha kind of pohiri and we were the loudest school, but at least we weren't late and we were the first ones up to tautoko. It was crack up as when we were singing He Honore and we were like amine but then someone carried it on and we were all like aye ahahaha! So then we all went our separate ways to the different codes. Me, Huia and Kui were with the netball girls all day, supporting, cheering them on, making them smile, refilling drink bottles, just being there for them. I'm so proud of those girls, they did so well and it was only the first day, they just did ice breakers and like a few drills and stuff but the coaches are always watching and those girls gave it everything they had! 

Georgette got really badly hurt on her wrist so we strapped it all up and the medicine girl came with ice but she was out for the rest of the day, she couldn't do the yoga at the end of the day. The girls said the yoga was real hard, but they were all having a good time too! Before the end if the day me and Matua went to go get more food for dinner and he told me how valuable I am being here! which really does make you feel good like knowing that your not there just wasting time and space! coz I'm so lucky and thankful!that I got to even go on the trip and it was just nice to know that I was helping. So after the girls did their yoga we decided to take Horiana to the medical centre and we stayed there for maybe two hours? But it was so so so funny far it was hilarious! The whole trip was so inappropriate! I was telling Ken and Colesh about last night when I texted Matua and he replied pick a body part then Caleb was like say vagina ahaha so then when I was telling the girls I was being loud as usual and yelled it just as a man was walking past our car so we were craaacking up and so then they were calling me Ehu Girl Vagina the whole trip, and Ton's Ton so we were the Mot Sisters far it was funny! Matua was giving commentary on everyone who walked passed, there was this guy with an eyepatch on and Matua was like oh that guy has no eye-dea far it was funny! Hori was alright, she didn't get her x-ray she's getting it first thing tomorrow though.

 So on the way home we got suuuuppa lost but got home in the end. The jackets that Matua ordered were at home which was real exciting and they all looked so good! No one wanted to take them off hahaha! We had dinner and then all watched Shortland Street as a family, Georgette and Colesh screamed when Vinnie fell off the wall far it was funny, and yes we had to watch ads ahahahaha! Then we did reflections and I was helping the boys write their ones. Tristan, Lloyd and Caleb wanted to take gangsta photos so I jumped in coz I'm a gansta. Fagan and Caleb were making lunches and me and ton went to help them coz they were just, yeah. Then we tidied everything up and I was just annoying Caleb and we had an arm wrestle then him and Ton had one and when they first held hands he was like oh, but far it was way funnier than that ahahhaha! I honestly just annoyed Calbe so much, I was like yeah let's go for a walk come on and he was like oh okay you go first I'll catch up and Ton was craaacking up! Then he showed us his karate skills, which was pretty cool then I showed everyone else but it didn't work on Ken coz her hands are so small hahahah! Far out then Matua was being so hansim and acting drunk it was so funny! I'll try put the video on here hahaha! Then just beddy byes ole ugly as nah then we just went to bed!

The gorge was annoying and long as usual. It was like quiet as in our van and just Ton and Caleb were talking and then I was just annoying them. Caleb was being like a hansim dad like "oh just count the cows, count the sheep, count the trees" blimmin idiot! We got to Opotiki all jumped out went toilet bought that food, I scrounged from everyone ahahaha. We had our little bottles of juice and shared the round, had guzzles which are big boy sips! Then we went to Whakatane and we had the hansimest navigators ahahaha didn't know where the heck we were going! There was this group of kids in uniform just walking around The Hub car park and Caleb was like rumbles ow with a straight as face far it was funny!

Today we had the official opening of our new school site. We've been preparing this day for honestly so long! Kapa Haka practices and all the little kids were so cute, I'd always hear them practicing the songs when they were walking around at morning tea and lunch. Then yesterday Koka Karyn asked for someone to say a speech in behalf of the students and everyone looked at me and was like oh yeah oh yeah ellen will do it and I was like pfft no but then I didn't wanna wear a girls blouse so I said I'd do it hahaha! So here's how today went!!

Oh last night me, Hori and Ton all went down to the Marae to help with hangi, all 400 of em! Most of the EYLC teachers were there and their so funny and are all like mates joking around like how we are but just in their own different way ahahaha! Tired as as as after that! Then this morning we got all dressed up in our number ones, does short skirts doe! Went to school and just chillin' like usual! Teah read my speech and said it was good but then like told me the things she thought were bad and at the time I wish she didn't because I was already so nervous and I hate being nervous and like I get severely nervous ole, but like I actually make myself sick! But I'm so glad I have Teah coz she was just being honest and trying to help me, ain't nobody got time for friends who lie! Everyone looks so cool all flashed up, I love us so much! We set up all the chairs on the verandas coz it was gon rain! Then we all had to go out and get in our powhiri lines, in the rain.

Then yeah we did the powhiri and it was super cool, I messed up heaps haha but it's aaaallgoods. 

We all looked like drowned rats, and then had to go sit in the rain just a bit more. Everyone did all their whaikorero and waiata, and us little pakeha delinquents were sitting at the back cracking up with all our umbrellas hahaha! Jessie and Caleb were being idiots, it was freezing and all our clothes were like soaked through. I was actually shivering which is quite a rare occurrence coz I've got insulation ahahaha. So then they all went up on the veranda and I went and chucked my warm blazer on. Mum, Karyn, the builder said their speeches and then it was my turn. 

I got up and all my friends came over and that honestly just made me so happy, like all my worries just went away when I saw them walking over to me, I love each and everyone of them with all my heart. I said my speech without too many stuff ups, and I made people laugh which was the best part. Here it is for me to remember forever 

"Ko te Manu e Kai ana te Miro, No na Te Ngahere. Ko te Manu e Kai ana te Matauranga, No na te ao. The bird that partakes of the Miro berry inherits the forest. The bird that partakes of knowledge inherits the world. 

Hi I'm Ellen Randall, a year 13 here. 4 years ago I made the decision to come to Te Karaka Area School, these past four years have been the best of my life, I've made the strongest friendships with everyone and made the best memories that you all know I'll never forget. We are honestly the biggest family, there is so much manaakitanga and whanaungatanga here that you just don't get at other schools. I'm so proud to say that I go to this school and come from this area, no matter what other people from other schools think and say about us, we know we're the best and that's all that matters.

Everyone here is special in their own way, we make each other strong, we're not the same we're different, in a good way and together, that's where we belong

 I am a foundation student and have been here since the very beginning. I have learnt so many different things and have had so many amazing opportunities to do things that I never imagined I'd even want to do.  I have seen how much everyone has grown and how the school has evolved. I love everyone who has made this school what it is today and I'd like to thank you all on behalf of the students at Te Karaka Area School. This school is so important to me and my community and I'm so happy to see so many people who support us all.

He aha te mea nui o tenei ao? Maku I ki atu, he tangata, he tangata, he tangata. Kia ora."

Then after all the speeches and all everything we went back to class and some people were smart enough to bring a change of clothes but nope not me. But we had to go be your guides for everyone anyways! I was the most official looking with my blazer and all so I took the Mayor and his wife around, I didn't really know what I was talking about and just repeated the same things over and over hahahaha! After that we had our hangi lunch in the class. Me, Ton, Teah and Tane all sat together and were just being uglys, Tane played the guitar. It was pretty cool, then all of us who were still in uniform went to be waitresses to everyone in the hall. I was following Teah and Ken round with my tray of teacups and it was so dang hot in there! Then the best part of my entire week probably, Bly and baby came!! I was standing there with my tray and i was so excited to see them! I chucked the teacups on the table and gave them the biggest hugs! I stole baby and went and took a few more teacups around hahaha! But i love those two girls and that whole family so much! I was honestly giddy with excitement to see one of my bestfriends! Everyone was all crowded round them and then Kayne was leaving so i said we'd take em home. Bly wanted to see the school coz she hasnt even been there yet! Then we took them home, little Bunny in the middle all snuggled up in her onesie and i was like "ngaaaw you're such a cutie" and she was like nah ahahahaha fishing for compliments then Bly was like "I dint teach her that, she learnt it from her aunty Hurutea" ahahah it was so funny man!!

Then just came home and crashed out. We took so many selfies and what not because we all looked flash hahaha, and then Ash said us Tekarashians are the best at taking selfies ahahaha! I love my school, i love my friends who are literally like my family, I would do anything for those nuggets, I'm so glad all of them are a part of my life :D
