Well, hi everyone, & welcome back to another blog, I'm Whetu Ngapo & you're tuning in to my KiwiAvenger blog here on blogger, but first that it was in 2011 that it was the first time I've been to Hawke's Bay with my whanau when I went with Dad, Dad's 2nd partner, Bernie & Jans (Who is living in that province now under the tutelage of the former world fencing champion, Tony Bouskill) which was during the Rugby World Cup (And it was in 2012 that it was the 2nd time I have been there with my whanau so that was the last time), but I do not wish to go there because of Wellington being my preference of going on a future holiday in 2027 or beyond, mainly for whanau reasons, especially that I want to catch up with 3 gorgeous ladies one day such as my biological aunty Cathey & my cousin Paige (Who is a bit of a lookalike of the female American social media influencer (In which she is a model of the American social media platform Instagram who got suspended 5 times on Twitch (The 2nd most suspended streamer behind TheDanDangler (One of Devon's good friends who is a fellow streamer) in September & December 2023 as well as January & March twice last year for breaches regarding to her videos for which I have revealed a story in full about Devon Jenelle on my blogs for the first time so I'd be able to shed some light to all of my fellow readers) of Devon Jenelle (Although that she is an anime lover, a gamer just like me, a model (The one who mainly does fashion such as cosplay alone), as well as a streamer & a weeb (Which means that a Western person who follows Japanese culture), but she was once a football/soccer player during her youth & high school days (She started playing when Devi Jen was 3, then she began to play competitively when DJ was 9, & played college soccer for a year, so for a while) when she first posted her photos on social media at 15 back in 2013, but she's mainly an English speaker & she learned American sign language during her time at high school, & she went skydiving at the age of 15), but I'll never follow Devon Jenelle on social media because I hardly have a social media account (And I will never go on social media again like Facebook, X, Instagram & stuff because I fear that I might abuse anyone just like last time, & I've got a YouTube account (I used to) but I cannot log in like I said before that I shouldn't use foul language to anyone, so I'm not ready or I should say prepared to return) along with the female Brazilian American professional skateboarder of Leticia Bufoni, then the female Aussie WWE wrestler of Rhea Ripley, the current lead singer of Linkin Park, Emily Armstrong (The one who took over from the late Chester Bennington since last year when Linkin Park released their comeback album, From Zero (For which was their first since One More Light back in 2017 for that was the last album to feature long time lead vocalist Bennington before he took his own life on the birthday of the late Chris Cornell ironically), & are about to release the deluxe edition featuring the singles 'Up From the Bottom', & 'Unshatter') as well as famous American Hollywood film actress Megan Fox (The one who appeared in the Transformers movies & Jennifer's Body (Along with Amanda Seyfried & Chris Pratt), & even appeared on Mortal Kombat 1 providing the voice of Nitara), & the famous American Gen Z pop princess just like both Billie Eilish & Tate McRae of Olivia Rodrigo because of her uncanny but remarkable resemblance to her along with both mainly Sarah Hirini (Black Ferns 7's captain who is a twice Olympic Gold Medalist in both Tokyo & Paris) & Kirstie Stanway (Female New Zealand TV presenter of the Sky Sport rugby show, the Breakdown), in contrast of her mother & Norah's grandmother Cathey Middelplaats looking like Alanis Morissette (The famous Canadian American female pop rock singer), Danielle Cormack (Famous Kiwi actress who appeared in Channeling Baby, the Price of Milk, Without a Paddle & the TV series Wentworth) & Famke Janssen (Female Dutch Hollywood film star who appeared in the X-Men, I Spy & Taken movies) again, & my first cuzzie once removed of little Norah for the first time (And Pops has suggested that he could go to Northland that I've already been with both Aunty Tan & Rejean to see Kathryn hence the reason why according from a comment from Pops during his phone conversation with her on Easter Sunday which was on the 20th of April (And if I choose not to go that I'll be at home, but Dad will always check up on me if Pops is away on a holiday, like he goes to the Cook Islands with Carole (Who is moving back to the North Shore in Auckland after rumors being confirmed with here deciding to move on from living here in Whanganui) in October this year).
And secondly that I was born way, way back in 1991, in the same year as the quartet of men's New Zealand rugby players of Beauden Barrett, Brodie Retallick, Codie Taylor & Nepo Laulala as well as a Black Fern of Ruby Tui & New Zealand women's rugby icon of Portia Woodman-Wickliffe + former men's Aussie rugby player Michael Hooper, then the 6 South African male rugby players such as Siya Kolisi, Eben Etzebeth, Faf de Klerk, Bongi Mbonambi, Frans Malherbe & Damian de Allende as well as an English men's rugby player of Owen Farrell, then New Zealand born English male cricketer Ben Stokes, a duo of Aussie men's cricketers such as Josh Hazlewood & Mitch Marsh, followed by a quintet of Black Caps cricketers like Michael Bracewell, Devon Conway, Lockie Ferguson, Matt Henry & Daryl Mitchell, then a quartet of male footballers/soccer players like both Belgians of Kevin de Bruyne & Eden Hazard, a Frenchman of Antoine Griezmann & our own All Whites captain Chris Wood (Who plays for English club Nottingham Forest FC competing in the Premier League, but he'll be 34 when New Zealand is in action of taking part in next year's Football/Soccer men's World Cup which is the third appearance for our country, & our first since 2010 (In which we ended our campaign unbeaten after all 3 group games against Slovakia, Italy & Paraguay had ended in drawn matches), if Wood is both fit & available that he'll make his 2nd appearance at football/soccer's global showpiece event along with Tommy Smith (The one who currently plays for Auckland FC in the A-League) who previously appeared in 2010 alongside Wood, compared to one of Chris Wood's All White teammates of Michael Boxall (One of the players of the New Zealand team alongside Liberato Cacace (An Italian Kiwi just like the Kirwan brothers of footballer Niko & America's Cup sailor Luca), Marko Stamenic (A New Zealand soccer player who is descended of both Croatian & Samoan people) & Alex Poulsen) who will be 37 or 38 by the time the World Cup comes around), & of course (Last but not least), modern day New Zealand America's Cup hero Peter Burling (Who announced that he has decided to move on from Emirates Team New Zealand, & the reason why? That he is incredibly busy as Burling focuses on leading the Black Foils Sail GP team, & for family reasons because that's why that there has been confirmation about the split (And he has been with the New Zealand syndicate from 2013/14 along with Blair Tuke, & had dominated the last 3 America's Cups, starting from Bermuda back in 2017, then finishing right until Barcelona last year which would be his definite last with the current defenders, even though with Auckland just narrowly being out of the picture yet again on hosting the next America's Cup along with Barcelona which is being staged in 2027 due to a lack of finance that prevented of hosting an event like that (And recently that they appointed a new skipper by the name of Aussie Nathan Outteridge who is the one that he replaces Burling who calls time on his America's Cup career (In which he ended as the man who never experienced failure in all 3 America's Cup campaigns that he ever faced, such as the ones in Bermuda, Auckland & Barcelona against the US (The crew made up of Aussie sailors), Italy (Spithill was the helmsman back then in which 2021 was his definite last crack at the Auld Mug) & Great Britain), but now that the Italian city of Napoli has agreed to host the next America's Cup in 2027 due to having secured enough money to host the Auld Mug according to most reports, while this means that the first time Italy will play host to the America's Cup series (Just like Spain hosting the America's Cup 3 times including Valencia twice in 2007 & 2010, & Barcelona once last year (2024), watch this space, but Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli may have a sniff or I should say, a chance of claiming the Auld Mug for the first time (They haven't been to an America's Cup final series since 2021 in Auckland against our own defenders Emirates Team New Zealand) because they have the home water advantage since Napoli being confirmed as the host city in the next edition of the America's Cup in 2027).
And thirdly onto the Super Rugby Pacific news department such as the Crusaders had to give it their all of continuing their dominance against the Highlanders with Tamaiti Williams providing the match winning try just before the end in Christchurch to briefly lead on top of the standings before the Hurricanes had a close shave against the Reds in Brisbane with a victory including the battle of the openside flankers such as the All Black in waiting of Du'Plessis Kirifi of the Canes, & current Wallaby Fraser McReight of the Reds (While the winning try by the Hurricanes was deemed controversial due to a forward pass which should've been erased by the TMO, but the Reds would've won anyway), & of course, the Chiefs have had a comprehensive rout over Moana Pasifika (Who had Patrick Pellegrini getting yellow carded & an off-field review for a dangerous tackle on Emoni Narawa for which dangerous tackles in rugby is like war, but with no firearms & explosives, then there was a regular yellow card against Sam Slade for a deliberate knockdown) in Hamilton to return to the top of the table after the Brumbies had a bye week so that the players can have both a refresh & a recharge going into their all important game against the Crusaders in Canberra to determine who'll finish 2nd on the table behind the Chiefs of hosting a home quarterfinal & a home semi final, but they can't host a home final unless a top seeded team loses that the other top seeded team would get home field advantage.
And finally that I have announced that I will be getting a new cellphone for my birthday so that I can log in to my Gmail account at no time (And if I had my phone, I would be taking a selfie with both Cathey & Paige (And possibly Norah) next time when I'm in Wellington), but I can't take my laptop with me everywhere when I'm on holiday here in NZ next time due to my fears of leaving it behind (And the reason why I got a laptop is to do mainly blogging, & have remote play when I play the PS5 or Xbox Series X for which I did that before, just like my old computer until I switched to my laptop when I had it since), & I guess that I'm an adult or grown up now at the age of 33 (But I'm 34 now since I had my birthday 2 months ago on the 7th of June), but my handwriting is a bit childish (And I have teeth about the size of a kid).
So that is my 612th blog of the year 2025 (MMXXV) & my 36th of this year, viva Ukraine & Palestine.
