Yes I am still here!

Hello people of the world! Well it has been awhile, but I have not forgotten about you all. Yes I still live in New York and yes I still do not have a horse (just disappointing). Here is an overview of what I've done in the past 3 weeks, check it out!

 

It was my girl Nikki's Birthday, the Mumma of Wolfpack (my squad), so we all hit the city and went bowling (such fun!). It was a great night, one of the top nights in NYC I have to say, we had a blast, so many laughs!

 

                     Wolfpack Crew!

 

 A lot of Selfies were going on because we had a camera that made us look so fly!

 

The week after, I actually went bowling again but with some of the Host team at church, at this real cool hipster place in Brooklyn. I secretly won but they all say I came third (no I came first)!

 

The best host team out! #doinglifetogether

 Then some of us headed to Central Park for a free concert (who doesn't love free concerts?!). Even though it was mostly all in Spanish and I couldn't understand anything it was a lot of fun! Its always a great time when you have great company!

                 Can you see our Halo's?

Also saw this awesome performance on the Subway it was crazy good!!

Then finally, last weekend, our good friend one of the original Wolfpack members came to visit for 2 weeks. So Saturday in the 30 degree Celsius weather we walked around half of Central Park sweating our faces off (literally)! 

 

                            And I'm sitting, sitting on a rock.

 

                 The famous Alice in Wonderland statue

 

 

                               Squad goals!

 

                                                       My Castle!

 

 

 

On that same day we also took the tram to Roosevelt Island. There was nothing really there just a new park that I didn't take photos of lol!

Photo cred to some of the Wolfpack crew as most of these photos I did not take because why take a photo when I can just use their photo lol!

Anyway now you are all up to date, so have a blast of week and I will be living it up in the sun while most of you will be in the freezing cold right now (sorry not sorry).
Peace out A town!

Occupy everything!

Good evening beautiful people!
Last weekend was amazing! Let me tell you, last Saturday was a beautiful hot day, well not to hot, it was just perfect. We had Church in Central Park which was a first in the history of Hillsong and it was a beast! So many people came out, I met a load of people it was just a crazy good time! Also Hillsong United were here so they were just pumping, that touch the sky song just gets me everytime!

My friends on stage, they do such a good job! 

The next day was Mothers Day and since my friends and I don't have mothers here we decide to go upstate for a hike (hike in America means a 1-5 hour walk, hike in NZ means a 2-4 day walk). So yes we went for a walk up a very steep hill and it was 30 degrees Celsius and we were all just dripping with sweat, it was disgusting but kinda nice! We got to the top and it was beautiful!

We had lunch in the little village where they had live music it was really cute, these old men playing and singing they were actually quite good!

Now the Saturday just been was a lot of fun! My friends and I went on a boat cruise with all these Au Pairs, where we danced the night away and it rained, so everyone crowded inside and it was so squished but we still had an awesome time!

My crew, my family love them ! 

Keep loving life everyone x

Let's go get away! 🚂

'Chang Chang getting paid over here' Some Missy Elliot to start of this beautiful blog. I use to want to be Missy Elliot, riding a horse with Gangsta clothes on (one of her album covers.. Awkward if you never got that album because what I'm saying would be very random to you right now). And your probably going to look that album up after this (DO IT!). I honestly just want to talk about Missy Elliot this whole blog, but but butty but but, just no. 

For the weekend peepz, I travelled to a faraway land on a train to.. Connecticut (actually only 2 hours, not far at all). We were going to stay with a friend to celebrate her birthday (we are the best). On Saturday we headed out to Mystic (a place in Connecticut), where we had lunch at the famous Mystic Pizza (A Julia Roberts movie, just brilliant!). 

We walked around the cute little town, had some ice cream, waited for a very long time to watch a bridge to come up, but then realized that it was not going to  open because there were no boats (sometimes my friends and I are just silly).  So we decided to do a mini photo shoot of us all 

This last photo someone actually offered to take our picture, and then after, we proceeded to take self timer photos because it was way funner! 

We then headed back to my friends house and went to the store to get food. We paid and walked out of the store. Then I realized I was holding an apple,  which I obviously did not pay for (who forgets they have an apple in their hand when walking out of a store?!!! Come on krystal, get with it!!) Anyway after a lot of laughing and nearly wetting myself we headed back to the house. 

That night we celebrated my friends birthday by going to a Kareoke bar! It was hilarious! Except the people that actually sung could really sing like amazing! Then Me and my girl Nikki got up there and rapped Super Bass by Nicki Minaj, and I'm telling you we killed it, like we were the bomb diggity, the best out of the whole night and then we got told you couldn't really hear us 😳, what?! I poured my heart out in that song and you couldn't hear us?!! Ridiculous I tell you! 

Enough ranting or whatever you call it. 

The next day it was HOT, HOT, HOT! So we went to a beach, it was beautiful! 

Also I do want to point out this..

Now we didn't have any plastic cups to take to the beach so I made some out of water bottles (so smart), that is how you do it in New Zealand people! 

It was a great weekend! Can't wait to go up again soon. 

This week has been a very interesting week. I got my first spider bite today, I pulled a tendon in my arm (literally can't lift anything with it) and my knee decided to start playing up. So it's been fun! 

Well I'm gonna get back to dreaming about being on a horse with gangsta clothes on.

 Peace out peepz!

stay and conquer!

Hello friends! So following on from my previous blog, which I should have done a week ago, but sometimes you just want to watch Netflix and do nothing. 

So after my birthday Bec stayed for a week and does touristy things while I work. Half way through the week my host family leave for Miami and I'm off for the next 10 days (wow)! 

One night Bec and I met up with her friend that lives here and she took us to this secret cocktail lounge. It was so cool  you go into a store and there is a phone booth inside and you walk into that and ring the telephone then there is a door in the phone booth that opens and it's a whole other room, so wicked! 

The next day we went down to SOHO and did a bit of shopping, we also went into the DASH store (the Kardashians store) and it was beautiful I just wanted to buy everything, sometimes I think I'm khloe kardashian (that's weird). 

Then we headed over to Brooklyn and walked around the waterfront. It was such a beautiful day and warm surprisingly. 

We got lunch at the best pizza place in New York called Grimaldi's ( it really is amazing!) and we didn't have to wait outside for long which is a bonus, because I hate waiting. 

This is just a small pizza but it was huge that is why I love America! 

That night I may have gotten a tattoo.. Well yeah I did get a tattoo (sorry mum). When I was about to get it done I was freaking out I asked the tattooist 'what does it feel like?' He goes 'have you ever been shot or stabbed?' Im like 'what NO!' And he goes 'oh good cause it doesn't feel like that' And surprisingly it made me much calmer! I got a paper plane tattoo Which represents my time being in NYC and the awesome adventures I've been on while being here.

I was thinking about getting a unicorn beside it but then I thought Hmm maybe not (terrible idea). 

Friday was her last day and all I can remember was that we went and saw the Statue of Liberty by taking a boat to Staten Island and back, best way to do it if you don't want to go up the statue, plus it's free (what a bonus)! 

Saturday morning she left me to go back to Australia. We really did conquer the big apple in a week, my friend may have needed a holiday after this holiday. I miss my New Zealand buddy! 

I then had a whole week off and kind of went crazy because I didn't know what to do with myself except watch Netflix and go to the gym. 

Anywho that was a good time. 

Love ya longtime people's!

Happy Birthday to meeeeeee!!!

Oh Happy Birthday to meeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! (in a singing voice)
Yes that is right it was my birthday on March 27th. I turned the BIG 2 and 1, which is 21, not 3 but 21!! I am finally an Adult, living in New York, hanging out with friends and no boyfriend (what?!). That didn't sound right.

Any who  this Birthday was the 'Bees Knees' as in a great, cool, fantastic Birthday. For starters one of my besties who used to live in the long white cloud (New Zealand),who now lives in Australia (don't know why) came over for my 21st! I was over the moon about it. We hadn't seen each other for a minute (over 2 years) and she comes and sees me in NYC, on my BIRTHDAY, now that is true love (not really... it's just love).

The day of my Birthday we jumped on a few trains to a Spa in Queens, which was a-maz-zing-zing! It was three levels of awesomeness. The first level you walk into and they give you a t-shirt and shorts to go over your bikini, a towel and also a watch that is a key (that doesn't make sense). So its really a wristband that looks like a watch but you can pay for things and open doors with it.

These were our hot outfits.

 

The second level was the Sauna houses. Every house had a different temperature and was for different things for your body. One went up to 180 Fahrenheit and I'm pretty sure I shrunk (if that's possible). It also had a place where you can buy food for the people that are hungry, so I sat there the whole day (no no I didn't).

 

 

The third floor was the bomb diggity! It had a foot spa, a bar pool, and the best part was the rooftop, where there were two massive pools with big massage jets all around the sides, Incredibubble!

 We also got a private massage for an hour and after that we just wanted to fall asleep it was so nice and relaxing, absolutely loved it!

 

The next day it was party time, but first we had to go shopping. We literally walked around from 10am till 7pm, stopping of course for food. We had booked a Hotel in the city with two of my other friends, which was great! We got all ready and looking pretty and when you look that good girl, you just have to take photos.  

We had a dinner reservation at 9.30pm (I know 9.30 for dinner, crazy!) So we got there just on time and met our friends who were coming out for the big celebration. Our table wasn't ready yet but they said it would only take a couple of minutes (yeah right), half an hour later we finally got seated. They gave us free drinks and made the Chef serve us first, as we had to be out of there by 11pm. We then made our way to the promoters house and headed to the club where we fist pumped.

 It was such a great night, loved having my friends there and celebrating turning 21 with them!
That is me for now see you next time friends :)
