bugger, I wonder what will happen to all my settings etc?

I won a gold metal in the under 18 development kata in the nationals(New Zealand), ;D. Can't wait to get my black, because then I can start on taekwondo.

I did a a tramp for The Duke of Edinburgh award... gosh my country is beautiful! Anyway, I went with a friend and our dads and did the Abel Tasman coast track, it was quite a fun 52k. :]


soo i preeety much just CTRL-C CTRL-V'd my favs in... yeah.

Got my brown belt today, It's about time. I've been doing it for a decade next year as an on and off thing. Can't wait to get my black, because then I can start on taekwondo.
Also I had a japanese billet 2 weeks ago but he left last Sunday. He was pretty cool. This time I was actually able to communicate with him. My japanese is getting better. Japan trip gallery- [link] ツ
-will add some soon

I got Merit in my art external, I am quite peeved, personally I didn't like it but I thought that it was definitely enough for me to get an Excellence. Never mind, maybe I will try like non abstract stuff this year... hmmmm wait... i think its like compulsory, we have to "develop" our work.
I don't like NCEA,
=[

Went to J-pan as part of a school trip! I used the opportunity to take my camera and get a few pics. I took over 1000, but i'll try to upload just a few of the good ones.
Was in Japan for 2 weeks, went to a few plces like Osaka, Kobe, Kyoto, Hiroshima and Tokyo to name a few. Out of all the places I've been to Japan would be winning because the peaple are nice and most things are affordable.
Thats all for now, I wrote a diary but no way am I gonna type that up!!

Here are a few pics I took in Japan:
