Longtime no blog (woops)

Longtime no blog friends, but that doesn't mean I havnt been thinking about you beautiful people! 

The past week has been full of adventures and flossy times that I have not had a good sit down to write all about it (my bad)! So get ready for a very long blog full of Goodness, HOLLA!! (Ain't  no holla back girl) felt like singing that lol. 

Let's start from last Saturday, March 22nd. I had breakfast with my 3 good friends where we laughed ate crossants and bagels and of course twerked (just a little though). We then had inspiration to go to the mall and buy some clothes. An hour later  no new clothes we were all in a depressed state and tired from finding absolutely nothing. Why is it that when you are wanting clothes you don't find anything that you like or you can't find the particular thing you want, oh girl problems! 

On Sunday I went to Church then met up with 2 of my friends and we sat in a Starbucks for probably two hours laughing about squirrels in New York (very strange I know)! We then walked to Hard Rock Cafe in timesquare to have some dinner. It is such a cool place 

I was pritty impressed with the guitar wall they had! 

So we all were ordering burgers and there was one that said cheeseburger and It didn't say that it had meat in it so I asked the waiter "does you cheeseburger come with meat in it?" The waiter looked at me with a 'are you serious look' and was like "umm it's a burger" I'm  like "so it doesn't come with just cheese?" Seriously what is wrong with me that is probably one of the most silliest things I've ever said (Well some may say otherwise, Melissa?) and yes I got mocked for that the whole night and will never live that one down (NYC making me cray cray). 

Monday - Thursday was great I worked, wet to the gym and went to my fashion class. Here's a picture of a building in my school (school is to big to take a photo of it all).

Very cool, it's like a castle! 

Anywho most of you know that it was my birthday on Thursday (well Wednesday your time lol). Thanks everyone for the love on Facebook and viber I had a great day! I received flowers from my awesome brother and sister in law which was such a great surprise!

Also got to open a package from my parents and got a card from my gran which was just lovely. And the Facebook love from all you beautiful people means a lot!! 

That night me and my friends celebrates and went to the Cheesecake Factory for dessert which was great, the place sang happy birthday to me and I got to blow out a candle, it was such a beautiful thing! 

It will be a birthday to remember plus I am now in my 2's which is crazy!! I'm 20!! (I would of liked to be 19 forever but I guess you got to grow old). 

Saturday was a very active day which I absolutely loved! I went into the city for a dance class, it felt so good to dance! Then I met up with some friends and we walked for ages to find a place to have lunch. Also it was raining hardcore, my feet were drowning! After we had lunch and walked, we went to a yoga class which was tiring (yoga is actually hard).

Sunday was a booming day! Church was so goooooddd. Dilerious the band were doing the worship it was such a great and powerful  service! 

Well that's me for now. I promise I won't leave it this long again! 

Have a good one guys :)

'It's always a good time'

Kinechiwa, talofa, hola, Weiss, polina, gidday, sakamuchi, tamborino, hello, kiaora!

Yes friends it is always a good time! Here in NYC life just keeps on booming, people are calling, and st pattys weekend  well, let's just say everyone was green!

 

On Saturday I went to a dance class (finally) and the people were great (I really wanted to take over and teach though, maybe next time lol). The class is called dance for change and what they do is they get different choreographers every week and do different dance styles every week and you pay $10 per class and the money goes into charities around New York to support them in what they are doing. It's great to do something you love but also helping change peoples lives (oh such a beautiful thing!)

Then I took the subway to go back to Grand Central and I hopped on the wrong train and started going the opposite direction! Oh, let me tell ya it was stressful, because my friends were waiting for me and I couldn't txt them because you don't get service in the subway and the people smelled so bad (it was probably me cause I was sweaty), arghh it was cray, cray!! And an hour and a half later I finally got back to Grand Centeal after taking a few subways (winning!). 

I finally met up with my friends and we walked around and talked in Irish since it was st pattys weekend. I do the best Irish accent haha.. (yea not really) my friends were like 'you sound like an Indian?' Seriously when ever I do accents why do they sound like an Indian (maybe il marry an Indian.. Hmm yeah, nah). 

I was about to go to my vocal lesson when me and my friends were at McDonald's charging our phones and I was trying to go over the song I was doing for my vocal lesson which was 'hallelujah' and so I start to sing like 2secs of it and a few minutes later a random lady comes over and says 'hi can I record you singing?' I'm like 'huh no! What why?!' She goes 'I just record cool things that I hear.' It was very awkward but I agreed and said 'sure'. As she started recording my friend couldn't contain her laughter (and you all know that when someone laughs I laugh). So I'm singing but laughing at the same time, so it totally screwed up the whole video, and now my friend has had to leave because she is laughing so hard she's got tears coming out of her eyes (I don't know where else her tears would come from)! So there you have it I was nearly famous, I mean she could have been Beyoncé in disguise and I ruined it! 

These are my friends, they are such fun!

The next day I picked my friend up and we drove half an hour to get to a mall, we were so excited to do a big shopping spree and apparently this mall is meant to be awesome ... But it was lame cause we couldn't afford any of the clothes (one of those rich malls). 

So we went and got food at the Cheesecake Factory which was an experience of awesomeness! Then decided to find a walmart to buy car phone charges because both our phones had died which meant we couldn't get home lol. 

So we went round and round in circles until we decided to pull into a car park which apparently led to a mall, great!!  So we found a place to buy car charges but I thought, you know let's just buy it on the way back to the car (great idea). We were in H&M for a few minutes and all of a sudden a robot comes on saying 'THE MALL IS CLOSED NOW' so we were like oh no the phone charger! Dropped the clothes we had in our hand and walked briskly (didn't run cause people might have thought a BOMB) to the shop and yes they were closed! We then drove around to find a McDonalds to charge our phones and that failed! I was like stuff it lets just find our own home, and we did (oh yeah). Although I did have to stop at a petrol station and get directions and found out we were going the opposite direction to home yay 😢! 

But I now have a car charger for my phone, so I will never be lost, yesss!! 

And that's the end of that friends so catch ya on the flip side ✌️! 

P.S sorry for any content that may have come across abit racist and some languages I have made up or misspelled, I'm just tring to get cultural. No hate! Peace and love to the world.

1 month gone, 11 to go!

Not that I'm counting, but it's crazy that it is 1 month already! It's gone so fast but at the same time it feels like I've been here for like 2 months, cray cray!

Any who I met up with 2 girls from England who are aupairs, so now I know 2 aupairs who speak the same language as me (I speak English by the way, not  Indian) so YAY I have friends that understand what I am saying! 

So that night I went to the city and met up with the English girls and 2 other girls and had a awesome night! We went to a rooftop lounge where you take a lift to the 20th floor and your on the rooftop and you can see all of NYC lights (beautiful thing). And Because it's cold they give you red robes with hoods to wear. And yes everyone was wearing them and yes it did look abit like a cult (but it was awesome).

This is the view, incredible right?! 

Sunday I had a great day! I went to church with my connect group leader (she's pritty cool). Brian Houston preached and it was a great message. I also loved being in the new building, I actually had a seat and could see the stage (hareruya!!). She introduced me to heaps of people (sorry, no cute guys lol). We then went to the famous photography store which was incredible they had everything. I sneakily took this photo of the canon lenses for my sister-in-law, and for you canon loving people.

But they have walls of all different camera brands it's crazy! 

 

Yesterday we had our first Cluster meeting which is all the aupairs living close to each other get together and do something fun. So we went to a cafe which was good fun. The cluster leader who organizes it told them that I am a dance teacher, so nek minit they are all like 'omg, teach me' 'I want to learn how to twerk' (know one really said that but I know they were thinking it). So I will be doing some dance lessons soon, yay can't wait to get back into that! Boom boom clap! 

Anywho keep loving life people.

A whole lotta fail

In my blog I don't want to just tell you all the great things about what I am experiencing and doing, I also want to give you abit of realness. Because in reality there will always be moments when you feel down or have had enough of what you do and you just want to crawl into a ball and hide in your cupboard (imagine it, so funny). Now last week was a crazy week! I got lost driving to pick up one of the girls from somewhere, so the dad had to rush out and get her (fail). I was late dropping the girls of to piano (fail). And a whole bunch of other fails! Then on Friday I was in my room and was walking to the hallway to go downstairs, I don't know what happened but all of a Sudden I was falling down the stairs, I tried to catch my self on the bar but instead it made my body turn so I was going head first. I then hit the bottom and stopped (thank goodness) it hurt ALOT! My first reaction was crying then I started laughing and 3rd reaction was 'man I wish someone videoed that, it would of looked so funny.' Then I thought 'know wonder why people don't stop when they fall down the stairs, it's really hard to make yourself stop.' (Random thought). Here's a pic of the stairs, so you can imagine me falling.

And that day was when it all hit me. I can't just txt one of my friends to see what they are doing or see my family everyday (that was emotional lol). And let me tell you, that moment is when you feel so lonely all you wanna do is talk to close friends and hangout with them but you live so far away. If you ever feel like this then ring your parents they Just make you feel so much better and tell people how you are feeling, don't bottle it up because you will burst one day, like in a shop and you just start crying (dude,that's weird). 

Anyway let's get back to the fun! 

So Saturday I went into the city with a friend and we went to m&m world and found this guy. (So good looking).

Then went to Chicago the musical OMG!! It was amazing!! They were so good, but the guys pants were way to tight round the bum (just saying). 

I tried to go to church the next day and couldn't find the new church building. I walked for ages (mostly in macys), I then got to tired and cold so gave up and went and brought some boots. (Good story)
