Give - nah, we'd rather ruin it.

I was in the back car park of our local Rebel Sports, waiting for my parents to finish shopping for sports clothes. I was so bored. After about ten minutes of waiting, two ladies came out. One had a large amount of bubble wrap, which she dropped everywhere, and then had to chase around the car park. The other had a trolley, full with those really big umbrellas you put over outside tables, and some cardboard tubes. She threw all the tubes out, any other junk in the bottom of her trolley. 

By this time the bubble wrap lady had gone inside. The remaining lady was pulling out the umbrellas of her trolley. These were brand new, no use, but hadn't sold. Maybe there was a little something wrong with them. Still usable. As I watched, she pulled out a craft knife, opened the umbrellas and slashed them, tearing the fabric. Wreaking them. I was horrified! What kind of shop would rather ruin something beyond repair, than give it away to a second hand shop, or sell it for $10 or $20. They are so stuck to the principal that you must sell at the price they want, or not sell it at all. Disgusted and shocked.

Bucket list 2014 - top 5

So I have made my bucket list and posted it. But I was thinking, one plain list is soooo boring, so I thought i'd post my top five, and reasons why.

1. Make myself a new wardrobe. Omg, I love new things!! New things, shinny things, nice smelling things...they are to die for! Everything in shops theses days are short, tiny, low necked or open backed. With a few exceptions of course. And also, you never know when sewing can come in handy. (And somethings you can make are super cute) :)
2. Keep a journal. When I'm older, I want to be able to look back on my life, and read about what I did (and also have my memories stored safely). I'm not that good a keeping a journal...I have tried but I just forget, don't have anything to write about etc.
3. Take heaps of photos. I love looking at photos of me. Not in a vain way! I just like looking at how I looked once, and what I used to do. And photos can be a real laugh sometimes. The memory thing again really.
4. Make lots of new friends. I'm going to a new school next year and I only have three close friends (and a sibling) that are going there. THREE!!! My friend situation has only been worse once, when it was zero friends at a new school. 
5. Have an awsum 2014. Everything. In general. Sports. School. Grades. Friends. Completing my bucket list. Just everything really.

Who likes my new signature??

First Impressions

This blogpost is about....

Yep, thats right. Please tell you've heard of them. For me, it's one of those band names I just know. And have always known. I only really knew their song Yellow, and my mother and singing 'And it was alllll yellowwwww', did not make me want to listen or like this song. I always thought....

A week or two ago, my sister played me their song Paradise  & Princess of China (ft Rihanna). Omg, it was love at first sight. Well more for Paradise, I'm not so sure about Princess of China. My sis and I bought both these songs, and I think my family wishes we hadn't. (I'm sure you can guess why ;)

So yes, first impressions or what you have alway thought, 

can't always be right. Or in my case, up to date. 

This is why this post is called....

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy new year Mazie.

All pictures except no.1 are made by me, so no stealing. Please.

Anti-bucket list

With 2014 just around the corner, all the rage is of course, a bucket list. Here in the NZ, and I'm not sure about other countries, we have a thing called New Year's Resolutions. Just things you want to do, but often they can be things that you think you should do, like:
Read 20 books if you don't read much, because you've never been a big reader.
With a bucket list it's more like:
Sleep on the trampoline, or redecorate your room.

Stan Walker - Music Won't Break Your Heart

I love listing to music, and I am yet to come across someone who doesn't.
This is a song written and sung by Stan Walker, a New Zealander. He is an amazing singer; one of my favourites. 
I really feel I can relate to this song, in ways I find hard to explain.
Anyway, enjoy.

Life.

Never take life too seriously, no one gets out alive anyway.

Do you ever feel like you've tried something new, and it's all going good, and then it all goes bad? It's like life slapped you in the face. Really hard.
I'm feeling down right now. Like everything I've ever loved doesn't really care. I know it's not true though.
I just don't know where to turn sometimes. Or what I believe, and what I don't believe. Who I can trust, and who I can't trust. What happens next, is it good or bad? I'm sure one day, tomorrow will come.
