Regional Awards and National Awards
It's been a long time huh? I have been extremely busy since the last time I blogged. It was so hectic because I had exams going on and aswell as running my enterprise business.
Exams:
I didn't prepare well enough for my exams because I was too lazy and I was just not interested in what I had to study for. I kind of regret though because I had the potential to pass every single paper but I chose not to. Once again, I made the wrong decision. Success determines on the decisions you make every second of your life. I actually regret stuffing up my NCEA because if I studied for every for every paper I took I would've endorsed each level with a higher grade instead of just fluking every paper, ohwell. I have already set up my goals for next year which are : 1. Do not leave everything until last minute 2.Study for everything
Awards:
If it wasn't for taking Business and participating in the Young Enterprise Scheme I wouldn't be able to have a taste of what actual school life is about and my confidence wouldn't have built.
This is going to be a bit corny and cliche, but I have to admit that business has changed my life. If it wasn't for business, I wouldn't have thought that I would have the potentially to have the feeling to succeed in my teenage life, I wouldn't have thought of seizing every opportunity and to go up on stage to get recognized for every hard work that I have put in into my business. I wouldn't have had the opportunity to even meet the acting Prime Minister of New Zealand and shake his hand and to come up to me to say that my business idea is very good. (I regret not introducing myself properly to him. I was actually feeling sick and tired).
Anyways, OHU is the regionals champions and picked up 3 awards.This means, that we got the opportunity to go to Wellington. This meant that we have competed against the winning teams of New Zealand on Wednesday 11th of December. Even though we did not win Company of the Year, everyone thought that we should've because we had such a great idea and everyone said we were excellent presenters.
On that night, we met many important people of New Zealand such as; CEO of Xero, Mike McRobert from 3 News, Acting Prime Minister and many more.
So on that fancy night, we won 2 awards which are Global Sales and Marketing Award and Social Enterprise awards including $2000. We were recognised by members of parliament before we headed of to the National Awards. We felt very proud of ourselves.
This was actually pretty amazing because this has shown me that I have the potential to succeed. I will continue to strive for the best. I hope in the future, I will become even more successful!
BEST OF THE BEST!

Holidays
I
I was quite pissed off that this holiday programme shit is taking up the second week of my holidays aye. I soooo don't have a life aye, shit. I'm pretty pissed with the person that organized this. She didn't even ask me or tell me until the first day we started, fucken hell. The funny thing is, is that she isn't even going to be here for the second week, thus, why does she even have the right to even put me on the schedule, the fuck?!?!?!
Anyways, so the bright side is.....actually there is no bright side to this =.=
I got a call from my mum today that my shoes that I bought from online has finally came...after 4 fucken months it finally came. I'm over these pair of shoes even though I haven't even seen it in real life yet LOL.
Seems like my actually summer holidays will start after November! yipee! :) I'm hoping that I will get another job because I want extra money for university (hopefully I do make it in) as I do not want to take out a huge loan+I want a Macbook Pro for uni hehehe :P

A dip in my life
Right now, I have a shit load of assignments to do and they are all due in this Friday and here I am blogging aways! I somehow do not feel the need to do it, but I know I have to do it or else I would feel very regretful about it because I will just throw away heck a lot of good and useful credits away.
On the 13th of September, I had my 18th birthday. I felt so blessed and loved because I received a lot of valuable presents. I just was so overwhelmed that day. I did not expect it to be this big, I received from handbags to Pandora bracelets and gift cards.
But yea, I can't wait until I go clubbing. I just want to experience what it's like.
To be honest, all I'm looking forward is the December holidays lol. I do not know what I will be doing then. I'm hoping that I would want the job for the time being because I would have like a 3 month break and then Uni....hopefully. I'm also wanting to sell some of my clothes that I hardly ever wear or never wear.
I'm still trying to find the right time when to create my fashion blog. I'm looking forward to it. I should start in December so I will have something to do. FINGERS CROSSED.
Anyways, bye bye for now.

~Update~
I've honestly haven't been doing anything interesting lately. But I have something to blog about OHU. Last Wednesday, we attended The Foodbowl to pitch our idea and present to them. The prize was 'Win a day at the Foodbowl to make your product'. Unfortunately we didn't win it because we were too good for it as told by the judges. Fifty Fifty won it. Their product was jam and peanut butter I think it was. They were a business team based in North Shore.
Although we didn't come 1st, we were grateful that we were one in three teams that made it into the competition, thus coming 2nd we came 1st in Marketing and presentation wise. When it came to announcing the winner, the judges were just so amazed with what we have achieved so far, thus coming to use privately to apologize to use for wasting our time and telling us that we do not need their help. We were also overwhelmed with the compliments that we received from each teacher from both schools. They were just so impressed with what we're doing and everything and we are thankful that they want to help us even more.
Anyways that's enough.....despite that,
I went to The University of Auckland open day. I was just so inspired about the open day thus giving me motivation to strive to aim high and work my way towards the university. It inspired me to become an Accountant and an investor at the same time.

Another day gone to a waste
Anyways, today was the first mufti day the school had for yeeears. As part of the mufti regulations, we had to wear two pieces of clothing that had to be our whanau colour and give a gold coin donation for the charity.
So i wore a pair of leopard printed Chuck Taylor, yellow tights, a white studded blouse and a cream, white studded leather jacket. This is where the funny part comes in, so it was time to go home, while I was walking out towards the gates, these three fat islanders were walking behind me. They decided to mock what I was wearing like saying that I got all my clothes from China (which I didn't). So I turned around almost blurting something out but I didn't. So then, I left it. They continued you mocking my clothes, I got ticked off so I turned around and said 'Are you mocking my clothes? wheres your clothes at?" and one of the fat bitches replies back "Sorry bub" that ticked me off even more and said "I bet you can;t even afford what I'm wearing right now" (my clothes aren't even that expensive) and then the fucken fat bitch couldnt even protect herself mentally and decided to say "I'll give you a hiding you little bitch" and maaaan you know how much I was laughing inside lolol. I was going to say 'you cant even protect yourself with your mouth, but you have a mouth to mock people' but instead I was like "come on, come on, come" but no, all three of them just stood there and I went off. Didn't want to waste anymore time on them lol.
They weren't even in mufti, they were just wearing their school uniform. They probably couldn't even donate a gold coin donation. OOOPS! They picked on a wrong person. I may look like a very soft person, but I'm not. Wrong choice girls, LOL! fcken bitch!
I wonder what they'll do on Monday? or must they say all Asians look the same and pick on a wrong person lol. Don't judge a book by the cover!

The Auckland Food Show
Today was another productive day. Me and my business team were all so business selling our delicious, mult-floral, raw BeeSweet Honey and BeeSweet Honey comb! We were selling to the public at the Auckland Food Show and met a lot of people including well-known celebrity chefs and business people. They were all so amazed with what we're doing as young teenagers. We were beyond what we're doing as YES companies! :) I'm so impressed and surprised with myself with how far I have achieved through the years of high school! You know what? I never knew that I would actually go this far with the project that we're doing.
We managed to get on t.v and our customers even recognized us from reading the local newspaper! Some heard of us and just straight away brought our honey on the spot without us pitching the message out to them since they have known us through social media.
Anyways, to me I had a good day! I managed to make a new friend , LOL! She seemed pretty cool and funny lol. I got to talk to one of my team members privately while I was on my break and managed to get some secrets out of her and likewise aswell.
So that is pretty much it for today! our last day at the food show is this Sunday! come and visit our store at H34!
So below will be why we exist as a company. Here it goes:
We are students from Manurewa High School and we are participating in The Lion's Foundation Young Enterprise Scheme. Our aim is to try and educate the community about the importance of bees, not only that but we are also trying to raise awareness about the decline in bees within New Zealand and to also reduce the decline in bees by selling our delicious, multi-floral, raw BeeSweet Honey. With every purchase of honey or honeycomb, you will receive a free sachet of wildflower seeds to encourage more people to plant more flowers for the hungry bees!
That's it for the night.
Goodnight readers! :)

A PASSION FOR A LIVING
Wow this holiday flew by!!! Tomorrow will be my first day back at school for term 3. Daaang, I'm so looking forward in going back to schooooool! Noooot =.=
TO BE HONEST, all I remember is going back to school and working. I don't really mind working since I have such fun there and I know What I expect same goes to school but I hate how I go back and I literally sit there until I get told to do something after an hour and people come late which means I'm wasting my time. As you may have noticed from reading my blog; I really hate time wasting. I think time wasting is not allowed because every minute means a lot and I could do a lot within the time being wasted (if you get what I mean).
I didn't even try to accomplish that I wanted to for this holidays since I was so busy with such things. I wanted to do my English logs for my connections report and start on my Marketing Plan. Got damn, I'm going to stress out for another couple of months. Year 13 is such a stressful year. I always thought that year 13 would be a really laid back year but it ain't. It's the complete opposite lol. Year 12 is the laid back year. Year 13 is probably just giving me a slightly taste of What university life would be like. Well to me though but I'm guessing university is waaaay harder. Well if you have a passion for what you're doing, then nothing should be hard since you consistently would want to know/learn more about your interests and everything.
Your passion= taste, touch, smell, hear and see it. What I'm trying to say is that you really need to find what you are really passionate about because if you don't you will be living off with a lie, and sleeping off with a dream or passion that you have never accomplished.
I am ready to admit that I have matured so much throughout the past years that is because I'm scared about how my future would turn out like. Come on, everyone wants to live life with success. I have got my thinking straight, all I need to do is work hard and play it hard. I admit that I have fucked up my senior years of high school and I totally regret losing out in those precious credits that has been offered to me. I just threw them away like that. I got my head straight this year (last year of high school) and I know to me that it is too late.
