Wolfpack Roadtrip

What a weekend! As you all know I went to Canada for the weekend with my friends (aka the wolfpack) and we had a blast! We left Friday at 11pm in our luxurious Chrysler mini van. You know you got to ride in style when doing a roadtrip, especially when you drive about 19 hours the whole weekend. 
It was 6 hours to Montreal so we had our snacks and of course I had my M&Ms (best things invented).
 We made it to Canada safely and found a place to have breakfast. First selfie of the trip excited about being in Canada.
We drove around for about an hour to find a hotel, finally we found one and we dropped our stuff off and went and looked around the city. It was an okay place but not somewhere I would go again. The city's first language was French so we were going round speaking French (well trying to). At night we got dressed up and went out for dinner at this Greek place that sold Italian food and had live French music (very cultural lol). We then went and hungout at a bar which was great fun then went dancing! 
The coolest thing in montreal was probably these swings all along the street and they light up at night (so fluffy)! 

Sunday morning we travelled another 6 hours to Toronto, by now we are over tired and very very hypo so we laughed at anything and said and did the most hilerious things, those of you who know me you can just imagine how cray cray I was (out of control). 
We got into our hotel, chilled out for abit then walked to the CN tower which is a very tall tower, I think it's like the tallest tower or something (hmm I should of read about it).

So we got up there and the view was amazing and we watched the sun go down was beautiful. 
I thought this photo was pritty artistic - maybe I could be a photographer... 
Some of us lying on glass windows where you can see all the way to the bottom, was quite freaky! 
Me standing on the glass looking down, Made me feel abit sick it's so high up arghh! 

After dinner we walked round and found this guy...
I really wanted a shoulder ride (so weird).

We were so sleep deprived that we decided we were characters off Dora the Explorer, so I was Diego and one of my friends was the map which the whole time walking round she was singing 'I'm the map, I'm the map...' Yes people that is how tired we were, we had officially gone crazy! 

In the morning we travelled to Niagara Falls woohoo!! The place was so beautiful, there was the town then Niagara Falls right beside it. 
We found a bear!! 

We had lunch there and it was so hot but I got a tan (that's all that matters lol).

We decided to leave and travel all the way back to New York (another 7hours). 
I took this photo from the USA of Canada.  So strange that you can be in another country and take a photo of another country. 

We all got through the border fine, although we did have backup plans if we couldn't get back into the USA. Mine was to go back and hangout with the bear for a few more hours and yep that's all I had. 
As we were driving on the highway this car changes into our lane in front of us and slams on his brakes which made us have to slam on ours and all you could see was smoke, we were so close to hitting him (but thank goodness we didn't). The car just sped away so fast, we couldn't believe the person just did that, we were all in shock! Big ups to our amazing driver she has some great reflexes lol! 

We got home at 2.30am safely. I would have to say it was one of the best weekends, made some great memories and laughed a heck of a lot! My friends are the bomb!

Dance Parade NYC


So last Saturday me and my friend Eva went to a dance parade in the city it was so awesome!! There were many different dance styles like Armenian dancing, tango, Hip Hop, Mexican, one where girls just walked and wave (don't think that's a dance style but.. sure) and many many more. 
As we were walking along the parade we decided that we wanted to get in on this parade. So we sneakily just stepped off the path and into this house dance group.
It was hilarious, no one said anything and we just fitted right in, dancing away, people taking our photo until the group we were with started doing Salsa (awkward) but we kept on dancing with them! 

The Dance parade ended at a park all the way Down in avenue A which is a really long walk from Grand Central, so by now my feet are starting to hurt. When the parade ended the Dance Festival started which was awesome! There were different stages, a performance stage, a learning stage and a stage where people were hanging from things (can't remember the name, it was circusy anyway). We mostly stayed by the learning stage so we could learn some sweet dance moves and of course I learnt some sweet hippie moves (so good). On the other side of the park was just a big dance party so we went there for a bit but it was so hot I had to go sit down and plus it smelt really bad of B.O (yuck). 
The whole dance thing started at 1pm and ended at 7pm so I was exhausted, but was a great time and a great experience (There are some interesting people)! 
Best bit was my friend and I got interviewed by Japanese t.v so look out for us when you watch the Japanese t.v (lol). 

Here are more photos of the parade (the photos that look professional, I may have taken them from the parades Instagram, so no hate.) 

Okay yea I didn't take any of these photos, but check more out on Instagram #bethemomentum. 
Although I did take this one.. Yep! 

That was my Saturday adventure, I'm going to Canada tomorrow I'm so excited!

Summer is coming woop woop!

Kiaora homies! 
It has been a very chilled week and weekend because it is getting hot, well I should say it's getting HUMID! My hair is going cray cray already, I just don't know what to do with it (to shave or not to shave?) my hair is massive and frizzy, it's just out of CONTROL arghhhh! (I Definately don't need no weave).

Saturday was a chilled day. We shopped and that's about it, it was fun!
Then Sunday OH it was a good day! I took two of my friends to church which it was Mother's Day (happy Mother's Day to the mummas). Then we went and caught up with our friends in Central Park. It was 27 degrees which doesn't sound bad but it's humid so it feels like 50 degrees and I was wearing jeans (WHYYY?! Oh so sweaty). There was a sea of people just chilling, tanning, people in bikinis (pritty much undies and bra cause there ain't no sea around lol), people playing sport it was a great experience. We played frisbee and I got a Tan (yess, such a beautiful thing). 
Central Park. 

This is Claudia and I lying on my friend haha don't know why because it just made us way hotter! 

We then decided to go get some food and found a great Italian restaurant that sold some really good pizzas. They had Hawaiian pizza aswell my favourite! 

Anywho just a short update.

Twerk all day everyday!

What up!!! I know it may seem like a while that I havn't posted anything but I did do one last week I just didn't put it on Facebook (wops)! That's why y'all should all follow my blog homies cause I forget to share it. 
So Step 1 - make a google account
Step 2 - follow my blog
Step 3 - twerk
Step 4 - never stop twerking (haha)

Life is good, is your life good? I hope so! 

So last Thursday I got a phone call from one of my besties back in New Zealand to say that she got ENGAGED (finally). Oh let me tell ya, it was the best news ever, such a beautiful thing!! They gonna get married and have babies yay!! 

In a few weeks my friends and I are going on a roadtrip up to Canada (oh yeah)! We are renting a car and going to Montreal then to Toronto and Niagara Falls. And we gonna try do it in 3 days (we can do it!!). I'm so excited ekkkkk!!! 

The weekend was a good one like always, here's a few pics:
Meet some of my friends we have Claudia, Desi, some random chick and Nikki.
I love this photo because it shows all our different personalities. We are #wolfpack!

This rooftop bar we went to had a pool and I was so close to jumping in, but then realised I didn't have my life jacket with me, so that was a bust. 

Also I've gotten real good at twerking (cause you needed to know that) but It's all I do now, all day everyday we be twerking! (Learnt it from the darker colored skin people here). Let's be honest, I'm a pro twerker. 

On the Sunday I took my friend Nikki to Church with me. It was so cool because she had never been to a church or even heard of a church like Hillsong and she thoroughly enjoyed it! Booming! 
The venue was in Times Square this week. Hillsong was taking over timesquare (legit).

I like to call this outfit, my Asian-inspiredness (no rascistness), or Spider-Man trying to be undercover (not quite working)... OH MY GOSH ok as I am writing this I just saw flippin Spider-Man in the background on a billboard hahaha that is crack up, oh weow, can't believe I just noticed that! I need to pay more attention, next time Justin Beiber might be behind me! (Be aware of surroundings). 

Anywho one of my girls I nanny for, Michella plays Softball, so I go watch her games and her team have won all of them so far (woop woop, so proud). And today I was practicing with her doing some pitching and catching outside and I threw the ball to Michella which went flying past her and into an outside lamp, Glass smashed onto the driveway which we had to pick up piece by piece. It was very funny, lucky the parents are away! I did think to myself man I have great aim I should Definately play softball.. hmmm.. Maybe not. 

So life is good! I am missing some very important things in my life though like dancing, oh how I miss dancing soo badly, and singing on stage with my brother and the whole worship team, really miss that! But I am thankful for the different experiences I am getting here. 
There's always something to be thankful for, remember that. 

Peace out 
Love to you all

Small update

Hello everybody!! 
Just a small update of how my weekend was and all that jazz. 
Me and my friends on Saturday went out with a promoter (promoter=free entry into clubs and free food). 
And as me and my friend were walking to the club we got lost in a big Indian parade (never had that happen before). There were literally Indians everywhere and a guy was speaking in Indian and as we were walking through them they all started chanting, OH MY GOSH quite scary!! But very funny! 

We got to the club and had food and then people started clearing the tables, oh yes it was time to Dance!!  

Later that night we went to another club and we had our own seating area cause we were VIPs, oh I felt so special ! 
That's my special face lol. 

On Sunday I went to see a movie called The Other Woman and wow that is hilerious, Definately a must see movie! 

My week has been great! The weather is getting HOT like yesterday I walked 5mins and I was sweating (yep cause you needed to know that). 

So keep loving life everyone and have a great weekend!!
