Blog This The 13th: Wake Me Up When September Ends

So it was Friday that Pops left Wanganui on a bus (And guess who went on da bus, Uncle Bryan Christie & his golden oldies squad & the official mascot of Wanganui rugby team, Barry the Butcher, whose real name is Wayne) by getting past Turakina, Bulls, Sanson, bypassed Palmy then got past Woodville, Waipukurau, Danniverke, bypassed both Hastings & Napier then went through Wairoa, Gisborne, Tolaga Bay, Tokomaru Bay & of course, finally, Ruatoria where Pops stayed for 2 nights at a Marae, then the next day the local Ngati Porou East Coast rugby team took on out very own Wanganui sponsored by Steelform at Whakarua Park (The Malfested Park) in Ruatoria but East Coast came out as winners, beating us by 25 - 17, then the next morning, Pops apparently left Ruatoria (Along with Wayne (AKA Barry the Butcher), Uncle Bryan & his golden oldies members) to head back home, here & now.

On Saturday, me & my Father went to the cultural festival here the same day as East Coast defeated Wanganui at Ruatoria, I saw the Japanese drums & the Taekwondo demonstration before starting to get hungry and went to Subway for lunch because I have not had a Subway for long before heading back to the festival then I went back to Subway & went to the toilet before getting an ice-cream for dessert at a shop near Dick Smith and Dad found me & took us back home to end this beautiful day.

Then a week later (I was here last Thursday when Dad went to a staff dinner), went to see Wanganui play at the Astral Chaos (Cooks Gardens, AKA 'The CG') Stadium (The stadium's crowd capacity is 20, 700 - 21, 000 but with 3,500 covered seats) to bounce back after a loss in Ruatoria, however, they won by dispatching North Otago 39 - 22.

1 day later, me & Dad watched the All Blacks play the Pumas in Argentina, Well, the Pumas had a incredible start with a Martin Landajo try putting them into the lead 5 - 0 (They had a unsuccessful conversion by the time) but Aaron Smith crossed over for the try (With Ma'a Nonu setting up the try for Aaron Smith) + Daniel Carter successfully converts the try by snatching Argentina's lead 7 points to 5, then Carter nailed a penalty goal as well as Cory Jane got another try thanks to a Kieran Read breakthrough & set-up before Carter did put another successful conversion but Juan Martin Hernandez scored a penalty goal then it's Dan Carter's turn to nail 3 points before Julian Savea scored the AB's 3rd try of the game (Carter's conversion attempt: Not successful) and then the 4th (The try was scored 3 minutes after Luke Romano not being able to continue playing (Due to having a blood bin earlier in the match in the 5th minute replaced by the 2.04m gigantic lock Brodie Retallick, but came back on the field (In the 16th minute) then said enough's enough for me due to the bleeding), being replaced by Retallick) before halftime (And this time, Carter's conversion attempt was Successful, leading at halftime by 32 - 8).

And after halftime, 2nd half got started but 7 minutes later, Argentina had expected a try and they did, scored by Gonzalo Camacho then JM (Juan Martin) Hernandez nailed the conversion (And after that, both teams have made a single change) but 3 minutes later, Cory Jane scored yet again with Julian Savea helping Jane by releasing the ball, came back on the cut by holding his feet and flicked the pass to Jane who scored (Although Carter missed the conversion this time in the most of circumstances), however, in the 58th minute, New Zealand are expecting a series of changes with 2 fresh legs (Aaron Cruden & Sam Cane replacing the 2 superstars of world rugby, Captain Richie McCaw (A cult figure of world rugby) & Carter) coming on the field (NZ have already made a change a minute earlier with both Piri Weepu & Charlie Faumuina on for Aaron Smith & Owen Franks as well as Ben Smith for Conrad Smith in the 54th) before Aaron Cruden did manage to seize the gap by flicking the ball to Nonu for the try and a successful conversion by Cruden (Although his penalty shot wasn't even too shabby in the 65th minute after Argentina were penalised), and then, Cory Jane gave the AB's a last hurrah by intercepting the ball & completing a hat-trick for the 1st time ever before Cruden did convert successfully giving New Zealand a 54 - 15 victory over Argentina + they did secure the bonus point and clinched the 1st ever Rugby Championship of 2012 (The AB's coach, Steve Hansen's 100% winning record is still intact).

And in the other Rugby Championship match (It was played before the All Blacks win over the Pumas), the Springboks of South Africa have gained revenge over the Wallabies of Australia by beating them 31 - 8 as well as sending a clear message to the All Blacks by saying: ''To New Zealand, you are nothing but we're gonna beat you for good!''

P.S. (ATTENCION AMIGOS!! SPOILER ALERT!!! I REPEAT COMRADE, IT IS A SPOILER ALERT!!! Like uhhh, breaking news & stuff but remain calm si'l vous plait, we have confirmed the situation, OVER & OUT!) We did see another Heartland Rugby Championship Match at the hallowed Astral Chaos ground (I did have spinach pancakes for lunch before the rugby) which Wanganui played & defeated another opponent, Buller 39 - 12, because I did enjoy it by going inside (I did eat (Like club sammies & savouries) & drink (I had diet coke, lemonade & Lemon & Paeroa) + it was a lot of fun + The All Black of New Zealand already name their team for their final Rugby Championship assignment against the Green/Yellow/White of South Africa (1 of the SA players like Johan Goosen are now considered as dangermen) with Hosea Gear confirmed as replacement for Savea who is now resting with Brodie Retallick picked to start in favour of Luke Romano who is in the reserve bench + Ben Franks (Brother of Owen), Adam Thomson & Tamati Ellison, locked in as substitutes + There's rumors about Ma'a Nonu going to league by playing for an NRL team that he supports, the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs (The Bulldogs have lost to the Melbourne Storm in the NRL Grand Final by 14 - 4 as well as a Bulldogs player, James Graham got a 12 game suspension for illegally biting Storm star fullback Billy Slater) but says that he does want to be an All Black forever and he totally agrees that he wants to remain in NZ after he declined to play in the NRL.

Untitled Blog

Last week on Friday (The day after the A-League franchise Sydney FC had signed a 37 year old Italian Football Superstar, Alessandro Del Piero for a contract worth 2 years which cost about $5,000,000 + Del Piero confirmed to debut for his new club when they hit New Zealand to take on the Wellington Phoenix in the season opener of the A-League), where me & Dad did go to Trafalgar Square to look at both EB Games & The Warehouse (Motto: Where everyone get's a bargain) + had Macca's for breakfast for the 3rd time (Had hunger buster menu & had hotcakes when we got home because I have not tried these McDonald's hotcakes for like several years ago), then Nan & Pops picked me up to go to the Brick House 1st when I had chicken curry and dessert was chocolate cheesecake (The cheesecake is my personal fav dessert) before heading to UCOL to catch up for a cooking class (Gina Wagstaffe was here along with the Chinese students) and we were making custard tarts (Which tasted like it wasn't bad) then 1 day later, went to the Astral Chaos: Cooks Gardens (The CG) for another Heartland Rugby Championship game which the current Meads Cup champions Wanganui won 42 - 3 (+ We got the bonus point) against the reigning Lochore Cup champions Poverty Bay with tries scored by Vaan Rauhina (Who got 2), Andrew Retallick, Asalemo 'Ace' Malo & newcomer Saul Chase with Mark Davis got all the conversions but the match was like at the 25th minute that downpour had came through the playing field (Making it difficult to play such as handling the ball would cause a handling error like that), and after our victory in the Heartland Championship, we went home to wait for the All Blacks to play Argentina but a few hours later it was on before the national anthems was played and the traditional All Blacks Maori haka was performed and after that, the matched kicked off minutes before Cruden struck the AB's 1st with a penalty, putting them 3 points to nothing until when the big veteran Argentine prop of Rodrigo Roncero scored the 1st try of the match but the conversion was hit between the posts until Argentina was penalised allowing Aaron Cruden to hit back the lead (6 - 5) before halftime, and after halftime, both teams are eager to prepare for the 2nd half, nek minute, there was a blackout (Or should I say, power outage), causing the Cake Tin to switch the floodlights off because it was failed before it was fully restored 15 minutes ago and the lights are indeed back to full strength before play resumes with the 2nd half when Ma'a Nonu gets the All Blacks up to speed, support from Kieran Read but absolutely smashed/pummeled from JM (Juan Martin) Hernandez on Conrad Smith brings an abrupt end to the manouver so let's see how the match unfolds:

51st minute: Cruden edges the All Blacks further ahead with the first points of the second half after in the 49th minute that los Pumas was penalised at the breakdown and Cruden did have the chance to give his side some more breathing room.

58th minute: New Zealand have the penalty after a quick tap from Aaron Smith when the ball is spun wide before the ball is deliberately knocked down by Julio Farias surely stopping a try when Farias is shown yellow by the referee of that game, Romain Poite of France (Poite also recieved a yellow card to that Irish player, Rob Kearney when Ireland suffered a 60 - 0 heavy defeat against the AB's in June way back) so Aaron Cruden went for the 3 pointer but uh-oh! He missed after Cruden manages to hit both posts with the penalty kick before it bounces back into play but frantic passage of play.

67th minute: The All Blacks score the 1st try of the 2nd half when Conrad Smith and Nonu combine to create the opening for Julian Savea to score in the corner but Cruden's wide with the conversion attempt.

72nd minute: Another try was scored by NZ after a set play from the scrum and Cory Jane is the beneficiary out wide, but in the 73rd minute, Cruden has managed to nail the extras

74th minute: There is a new All Black prop when Charlie Faumuina became the 1,116th All Black by replacing Owen Franks for the remainder of the match when New Zealand cruised to victory with a score of 21 - 5 moments before Australia tasted it's 1st victory of the new Rugby Championship beating South Africa in a tight game 26 - 19 with prop Ben Alexander scoring the match winner in the 68th minute and of course, center Berrick Barnes successfully adding the conversion to add 2 extra points on offer.

And on Monday, went back here to the Citadel of San Raphael (15A Kells Avenue) for dinner/dessert as part of Nan's birthday celebrations (for dinner was roast lamb with roast kumara wedges and plum tabbouleh & for dessert was hot lava cakes with chocolate eclair ice-cream as well as chocolate cheescakes that Dad bought and we did have an apero before dinner is served (I had cucumber dip with peanuts, crackers & creaming soda for drinks) as well as watching the news that Mitch Evans (Labelled the new 'Scott Dixon' and mentor of Australian F1 race car driver Mark Webber) has won the GP3 Series title (And after winning the GP3 title, Evans will next year compete in GP2).

1 Day later on the 11th anniversary of September 11th, 2011, The All Whites played against the Solomon Islands (Which has got Benjamin Totori who was already signed on with the A-League franchise, the Wellington Phoenix after being impressed by the Phoenix/All Whites coach, Ricki Herbert) in the 2014 FIFA World Cup OFC Qualifier 3rd round and we did beat them by 6 goals to 1 at North Harbour Stadium (The goalscorers were: Shane Smeltz, Kosta Barbarouses, Chris Killen, Tony Lochhead, Chris Wood & Marco Rojas).

Yesterday, Me & my father went back to Trafalgar Square once again since last Friday & bought a new game for the PS3 (Playstation 3) but the game was never released until today (Well, Dad now has got the game and I cannot wait for this until I get back) before having McDonald's for lunch and we wen't home and had steak schintzel, eggs & onions for dinner last night.

And now today, I have got to finish my 11th blog for today after going swimming, did the vaccuming outside (Watered the vegetable plants), reading listeners and having lunch (Leftover chow mein with canned tomatoes & toast) & afternoon tea (Chai tea & the last of the ginger crunch) before dinner time (We are having Caesar salad and dessert is custard tarts, rhubarb & cream).

P.S. (BREAKING NEWS REPORT): Piri Weepu confirmed to start (Along with Andrew Hore (For Mealamu), Sam Whitelock (Retallick) & Liam Messam (Vito) with Tamati Ellison in the reserves/bench) as once again the 1st choice half-back after Aaron Smith reportedly broke the team's rules & regulations thus ending the All Black half-back debacle (The debacle began after the events of the AB's RWC 2011 victory when Piri Weepu was seriously overweight at Christmas time before the start of the new Super Rugby season, and when he discovered that he was unfit due to being plagued his weight problems, his All Black chances had gone up in smoke due to his poor form (The Blues had recorded losses) when Steve Hansen, the coach, had decided to pick newcomer Aaron Smith as the new 1st choice All Black half-back, displacing Weepu to 2nd choice but after the All Blacks - Pumas game, A reversal had been made with Smith broke a team-imposed curfew, allowing Weepu to start for the upcoming Rugby Championship match against the Springboks (With new lock, Eben Etzebeth suspended for a head-butt on Wallaby lock, Nathan Sharpe (Now filling in as Wallabies skipper following injuries to Will Genia (Who was the stand-in skipper for the injured David Pocock, but was now recently injured in a match after damaging his ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) & Pocock (Injured when we beat them in Sydney) for James Horwill (Ruled out due to a season ending injury) & once again, becoming the 1st choice half-back for the 1st time since the Rugby World Cup when Weepu 1st became 1st choice half-back following Dan Carter's famous groin injury which ruled him out of the tournament + It will be next week when Valerie Adams (Originally a silver medalist in the women's shot put when Nadzeya Ostapchuk got the gold but got DQ'ed for a positive test which was a drug testing failure which caused Ostapchuk to be stripped of her gold medal by ending her Olympics campaign in disgrace) will recieve her gold medal next week in Auckland presented by His Excellency, The NZ Governor General Sir Jerry Mateparae (Those will be attending at the ceremony are fellow Olympic gold medalists Mahe Drysdale, Hamish Bond, Eric Murray, Jo Aleh & Olivia Powrie).

The Blog No.XX: Pandora's Box (Enter The Sandman)

After our dinner & dessert from last week, it was time to go home for me but a day later, went to Corinna's place @ Harrison Street dubbed 'The Triangle' for my father to pick up da boys until tomorrow B4 having dinner but last week on Saturday, got up B4 shower and got ready before heading over to see da 'Butchers Boys' of Steelform Wanganui play at the 'Astral Chaos' of Cooks Gardens (CG for short), then got an all American Hot Dog when da match started several minutes B4 Horowhenua Kapiti gave us the lead at halftime by 10 points to 8 after the opposing team scored 2 runaway tries courtesy of lamentable Wanganui errors but it could have been more because the Horowhenua forwards had easily the better of proceedings, except in the lineout where 97 game veteran Keith Milligan could not get the ball straight B4 Wanganui started much better in the 2nd half with a penalty by Mark Davis and a brilliant try by Davis this time, again off a 70 metre break by Wanganui's exciting newcomer, Saul Chase, then that gave the home side an 18-10 buffer, and Davis added to that with a 20 minute penalty, but only the pace of local wing Simon Dibben stopped another individualistic try for Horowhenua when replacement wing Mike Tambour intercepted that would have bought it to within a point with just 11 minutes on the clock & the score was boosted with a Chase try in the final minute after fine work by himself and replacement wing Nic Harding but really good moments from Wanganui were few and far between, but nek minute (in the end), Wanganui eventually won 28-10, but the score was hugely flattering to a home side which lacked enthusiasm, was clearly not mentally on its game and therefore made far too many errors (And I mean, it was a great Heartland Rugby Championship vittoria for us by butchering Horowhenua Kapiti at the 'Astral Chaos' Cooks Gardens).

And then on Sunday, watched the motorsport called the V8 SuperTourers on TV3 because the 1st of the 3rd endurance round (The next round is at the Pukekohe Park Raceway (Traditional home of touring car racing) then the finale is being held at Christchurch's Powerbuilt Tools Raceway @ Ruapuna Park) was held @ the Ricoh Motorsport Park over in Taupo (The circuit that used to host A1GP World Cup of Motorsport) but great to see the cars racing because I enjoyed it before having roast chicken for dinner (Race 1 went to Australian Jack Perkins (Son of racing great Larry Perkins) & the young Kiwi Nick Cassidy (reigning Toyota Racing Series champion + injury replacement for Greg Murphy (AKA Murph) who had already just injured his back from a V8 Supercar event (The Clipsal 500) in the streets of Adelaide (Former F1 track that was held in the past) earlier this year) B4 another young Kiwi Scott McLaughlin (The 19 year old teen sensation born in 'the Tron' (Hamilton, New Zealand) but based in 'the GC' (Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia) is currently competing in the Fujitsu V8 Supercar Series) & V8 Supercar driver Jonathan Webb took out the honours by winning Race 2 & the Ashley Stichbury Memorial Trophy with pole position in both qualifying sessions and 1st and 2nd places finished in the two races + there was 2 international but European drivers competing, one is former F1 driver Christian Klien of Austria & the other is former A1GP driver & Porsche Supercup champion Jeroen Bleekemolen of The Netherlands).

Then on Monday & Tuesday, watched movies like Ninja Assassini & The 40 Year Old Virgin and had a incredible dinner last night because not only we had wedges covered in cheese but with both bacon & onion so I was so full because I ate before I had dinner and after dinner, I had a rest at 6:00pm before going straight to sleep at like between 9:30pm, then next morning, had weet-bix for brekkie, headed straight for a swim that kept me refreshing, went to Pak 'N' Save (Our policy: NZ's lowest food prices) to get the stuff for tonight's food, went back here at the Ancient Citadel of San Raphael (Formerly the motel resort of Nan & Pops) by doing some uh.....by focusing on working by clearing the leaves out like I did last week and put the water over the veggie plant and read that newspaper & the all new incredible book by Sir Graham 'Ted' Henry about being a rugby coach (Where you have failures on their 1st attempts to the successful tournament campaigns like here & now) which is like becoming an up and coming heavy metal rockstar musician/rocker (I vas impressed about zat book because i don't vish to feel bad about it and I could not have prevailed), but then, we had lunch like we had silverbeet, eggs & feta cheese B4 dried dishes & so here I am, doing this blog before having afternoon tea and having dinner with Dad & da boys tonight to end my XXth blog of today (But I will possibly be coming with you guys to UCOL tomorrow with Gina Wagstaffe cooking something like custard tarts with the Chinese students + there is rugby on the weekend, back at Astral Chaos where Wanganui play against Poverty Bay, the same day that the All Blacks host Argentina at night over at the 'Cake Tin' of Westpac Stadium in the windy capitale city of Wellington or likewise/pennywise, Welly/Wellywood).

P.S. (ATTENCION, ATTENCION, SPOILER ALERT NUMERO DOS, COMING UP BUT LISTEN UP, DO YOU MIND?!!!): The AB's reveal their starting lineup against da Pumas of Argentina (Coached by Santiago Phelan but the RWC Champion coach Sir Graham ''Ted'' Henry is helping their Los Pumas team on Saturday night), with returning loosie Tony ''Woody'' Woodcock back from injury replacing Wyatt Crockett & partnering with Keven ''Kevie'' Mealamu (Hooker) & fellow prop Owen Franks (Plays at the tighthead position) then Samuel ''Sam'' Whitelock is gone to the bench, allowing the incomparable 2.04m giant lock Brodie Retallick partnering Luke Romano as well as Victor Vito making way for Liam Messam in the starting lineup then Julian Savea (Who hasn't played a test since the AB's almost got beaten against Ireland), effectively taking over from Hosea Gear and partnering fellow Hurricane/Lions player Cory Jane in the wing as well as the very, deceptive, Conrad Smith back from an eye surgery taking over the 13 jersey with Ma'a Nonu the 12 thanks to SBW's departure/exit from the All Blacks + Charlie Faumuina, announced on the bench after a false start in June, missing all 3 AB's tests with Ireland and BREAKING NEWS: Daniel ''Dan'' Carter unable to play due to a calf strain injury with Aaron Cruden confirmed to start as well as Beauden Barrett (playing Taranaki ITM Cup Team), called up to replace the injured Carter is also on the reserves with Andrew Hore, Faumuina, Whitelock, Messam, Piri Weepu & Ben Smith (And the referee for that match is Romain Poite of France (Also refereed the AB's - Ireland Final Test in the 'Tron' of Hamilton).

The All Blacks Stories: Theory Of a Wallaby Roadkill (IXth Weekly Blog Edition)

Last Week, I was here for the weekly visit to Nan & Pops (We did go to Splash Centre for our weekly swim) & for lunch it was antipasto (We did have antipasto for the 2nd straight week) before focusing on working by clearing the leaves out by a garden vaccum cleaner and having afternoon tea then publishing a single blog from last week which is the 8th weekly edition before watching Prime on television and having beef stir-fry schintzel for dinner + last week's pear crumble dessert was an absolutely fabulous moment before my Dad took me home to end last week's episode.

II days later @ the hallowed ground of Eden Park in Auckland, NZ, when the mighty & current champions of the Rugby world (& current holders of the Bledisloe Cup), the All Blacks (IRB Ranking: numero uno) took on the Robbie 'Dingo' Deans coached Wallabies (2nd best team in world rugby + the return of NZ's public enemy no.1, Quade Cooper), well I told Dad that the rugby was on so he did answer my request & therefore accepted....but nek minnit, the national anthems of both countries were played and after the national anthem situation ended, the AB's had the chance to perform the Kapa O Pango haka instead of the traditional Ka Mate haka moments before kick off (+ they had a nek minnit's silence for those who remember our troops losing their lives by getting them roadkilled in action @ their war torn nation of Afghanistan).

The match got underway perfectly well with Carter kicking off but 2 minutes later, Australia was under pressure in the scrum early on but they escape with a penalty awarded against Crockett but both teams were scoreless because the score was nil all (0 - 0) until Dan Carter nailed his 1st penalty goal in just his 3rd attempt (3 - 0) after missing both penalties before Quade Cooper laid out again, this time by Sonny Bill Williams, then the Aussies chiped over the top which does not work out and the AB's are coming back at them and this time New Zealand did award the penalty when Will Genia (Wallaby stand-in captain for the injured Pocock) got sin binned for ball slapping down when on the ground before Carter landed a 2nd penalty goal out of the 4th attempt (6 - 0) so the Wallabies have been reduced to 14 until the end of halftime but 7 minutes later, an Australian player was offside underneath the posts when Welsh referee Nigel Owens gave NZ another penalty & then, Carter gets his third penalty of the night with a simple kick inside the 22 (9 - 0) but uh-oh, wait a minute, Genia is back on for the last play of the half after spending 10 minutes yellow carded (If he commits an foul again (like a high tackle, punishable by a penalty), a red card will be shown to him), but the ref signaled half-time with the All Blacks grabbing an unassailable lead of 9 - 0.

Then the 2nd half had already started with the game nicely poised, and a penalty was taken by New Zealand with Carter nailing his 4th penalty to bring the score up to 12 moments before Israel Dagg (The funny/charismatic but awesome All Black that has the moves like Dagger) got that tremendous try (17 - 0) by finishing off a great period of pressure from the All Blacks as well as Daniel Carter added the conversion (19 - 0), meanwhile, Berrick Barnes may have kicked the ball out on da full (not fool) awarding the All Blacks a scrum on half-way as many Wallaby replacements come on the field (4 of them including Radike Samo (The Fijian born Wallaby), Wallaby danger man Kurtley Beale (Thought that he wasn't going to play but named instead on the bench), James Slipper & Anthony Faingaa's twin brother, Saia) then the AB's put on some fresh legs (Andrew Hore for Keven Mealamu & the 2.04m Brodie Retallick for Luke Romano) just moments before NZ gave away another penalty with the ref warned to the Australian players that somebody will be going to the sin bin if they were offside again as Carter lines up another shot at goal but no problemos for Carter as he extends the AB's lead to 22 points to 0 until the final whistle which justice will prevail for the New Zealand All Blacks beating & roadkilling the Wallabies of Australia (Who had now been having their worst nightmares @ both Eden Park & ANZ Stadium) in their final score of 22 - 0 + they have retained the Bledisloe for another year and for 50 years (Or should I say, 5 decades), Australia have never scored against us when we beat them 3 - 0 in the year 1962 because the 2 consecutive losses against the AB's this year are now in their darkest days in Australian rugby history (The worst revealing secret that Robbie Deans has denied rumours of losing (Or should I say, roadkilling) his job as head coach).

Then, we go to Argentina for the Pumas Vs Springboks clash which ended in a draw with Argentina almost winning because they were 16 - 9 up but the Argentine kick was charged down by a South African, Francois Steyn as he successfully went for the corner by grabbing 5 points before another Springbok, Morne Steyn did manage to score 2 points as both teams are all tied up (They are 16 apiece) before SA award a penalty but Morne Steyn missed the penalty with just 6 minutes to play but the match was drawn at the end after the South African Captain, Jean de Villiers, took the ball up and nearly gets through but loses the ball forward when the Pumas kicked the ball out for full time.

4 days later after starting to fall asleep on Tuesday night between 9pm, I got up early now because that is the good news before I was having a shower, and getting ready to walk to McDonalds again for breakfast (I have been there before but the breakfast menu is served until 10:30am) but when I was on my way to Macca's, I just saw Nan & Pops as part of a suprise but I told them I was already going and said that I was going to see those guys tomorrow but they had left and after that, finally been going in McDonald's and bought those breakfast hunger buster (The menu consisting of a bacon & egg McMuffin, a massive McMuffin, a Hash brown & a hot chocolate) I had and now left Macca's after my famous so called brekkie and headed back straight home to end this incredible highlight package involving the art of our national sporting treasure, rugby (Bought a creaming soda drink in case I am tired enough).

P.S. (SPOILER ALERT!!!): Pops woke me up this morning before taking a shower & having weet-bix for brekkie before going to splash centre to keep me refreshing and going to countdown for some food stuff, saw Hanne before we went home here & had a fantastic Egyptian omelette with leek (Well, I chopped the leeks), did a huge amount of work + putting water over the vegetable plant and been having afternoon tea here & now (Tonight's dinner is mutton bones with mashed potatoes & swedes featuring peas & silverbeet + for dessert tonight is pear sorbet).

The Month Of June - July Story Period (AKA The Sonny Bill Williams/Euro 2012 Tribute Show)

Last month, went to Uncle Brian's to watch the All Blacks but almost lost the match against Ireland in the 2nd test at Christchurch 22 - 19, then the next day, had to be ready in time to watch the Avengers movie (My favourite Avengers movie characters were but a bit over the top are the 'Black Widow' Natasha Romanoff, 'Captain America' Steve Rogers, Tony 'Iron Man' Stark, Dr Bruce 'The Hulk' Banner & of course, Thor, which is the Norse god of thunder from Asgard which is a planet) which I now saw it before but was a great movie + some funny bits, nek minute on Thursday, got sick because it was bad for me, did not go to Uncle Bryan's 2 days later but stayed home instead when we watched the AB's pummel Ireland 60 - 0 (There was 1 openside flanker (Sam Cane) who bagged 2 tries, 1 blindside (Messam), 1 reserve flanker (Thomson), both wingers (Ben Smith & Hosea Gear), a fullback (Israel 'Izzy' Dagg) and a second five eighth (SBW (Sonny Bill Williams), who played his last game as an AB (All Black) before going to Japan after Super Rugby to join a Japanese club & returning to the National Rugby League (NRL) next year playing for the Sydney Roosters once the Japanese rugby season is complete (SBW's rugby union career will end on a high note as the Rugby World Cup 2011 winning player as well as scoring 6 tries for the AB's (4 at a RWC, his one & only debut tournament appearance so far) but SBW is now known as 'Sushi Boy Williams, Land of the Rising Sonny') who also got 2) in the 3rd & final test match over in Waikato Stadium, Hamilton (AKA the Tron); Not only because the match was just a demolition as the Irish were scoreless (Never conceded any tries, conversions & penalties scored).

Then 6 days later, just only came here for 1 night only, but Dad, Jans & Bernard came here for dinner we had like chicken thighs with roast veges & peas followed by the apple ginger cake for dessert, had to watch tv like the news before my father & step-brothers just left, but a few hours later after reading a bit of ROTG (Rules of the game), had to watch Super Rugby after taking a 3 week break of test rugby previously held, and I only just watched the 1st half before I went to bed as the Chiefs were on the verge of winning by beating the Highlanders, then next morning, had breakfast which was great (It was pancakes with sausages & apples), went over Uncle Brian's farm to assess the situation that we needed a new home & we checked but came back here for lunch by having a stir-fry which tasted nice & lovely because of the flavour then had afternoon tea that I cannot remember now & saw Nan emailing Leon that I was going to watch the Euro 2012 final on Monday morning but was going to have dinner but left for home (which is 43 Rimu Street).
Then next morning, went to the farm of Uncle Bryan's once again to analyze the house that we are going to live @ Uncle Brian's farm but I was unfair about it living because it was disappointing and it needs renovation by master builders & licensed building practitioners (or should I say, the LBP's), then the following morning, I just got up early & had breakfast before heading over to the command center (AKA 15 Alexander Street) to watch the Final between Spain (known as mejores del mundo of the futbol world) & Italy (4x FIFA World Cup champions like '34, '38, '82 & 2006), but in the end, Spain (AKA La Roja, captained by the goalie of Real Madrid, Iker Casillias) proved to be a perfect match as they retained the European Football Championship title (as well as winning 3 straight major championships from Euro 2008 to FIFA World Cup 2010 & now recently, Euro 2012) because they were able to beat Italy (The Azzurri squad consists of Andrea Pirlo of Juventus (formerly of AC Milan) & that self-proclaimed Afro-Italian (Who plays for Man City which is David Silva's team/club that he plays) of Mario Barwuah Balotelli) by scoring 4 goals (David Silva of Manchester City (Balotelli's Spanish teammate), Valencia's FC Barcelona bound player Jordi Alba & 2 Chelsea players, Torres & Mata) to nil as well as currently utilizing the quick passing move dubbed as the 'tiki-taca'.

But then last week like now, went to a swim like every week, had leftover stir fry with noodles for lunch, got a haircut while pops brought new clothing & had roast pork for dinner & watched police ten 7 but then on Sunday, Dad took me to Palmy (actually, Palmerston North) for just a day (we had pies @ Sanson) & been to shops like went to whitcoulls & bought a drawing tool kit like pens, papers & felt pens for use before going to the plaza (Saw a Chevy Camaro from the Transformers movie AKA the Bumblebee (Dad just took a pic of both the car & skating rink) as well as a ice skating rink) & having lunch at BK (Burger King), then also went other shops before heading back home.

Two days later, me & Dad just had an homemade pie for dinner that looked awesome then next day, had that leftover from tuesday night for lunch and had that sphaghetti bolognaise for dinner because the pasta is indeed my favourite food for like 12 years!

I got up this early morning to get ready to go to splash centre to refresh myself off, then got here in time, did my jobs as well as reading newspaper & the ROTG, then deciding to rest before Pops woke me up for lunch and we had that great antipasto consisting of cheese, 2 salamis, olives, dips, a single savoury muffin, carrot sticks, walnuts and baguettes that Pops just made and had mandarins after that before going to bark & boulders @ Murray Street & just came back here in time to complete my blog by doing a brand new updated material that i'm doing now since I stopped editing last week but now it is time to wrap this blog up about the June to July timeline period which is a great story to write.

P.S. Shane 'Mountain Warrior' Cameron knocked out Monte '2 Gunz' Barrett in a epic boxing match because not only the bout was simply but indeed gangsta because Shane Cameron won the fight, taking the boxing titles from Barrett as well as reigniting his boxing career (David 'Tuamanator' Tua won against Cameron in the fight of the century and took the titles from him but 2 years later (David Tua 1st faced Monte Barrett in 2010 which the bout ended in a draw), he lost to Barrett in his last fight, surrendering the titles before Tua formally announced that his boxing career would end like this) but come on, do not forget to say sayonara to the Sushi boy, land of the rising Sonny Bill Williams (The greatest man but the best Rugby & League player in the world of all time).
