When I was in primary my mother brought home pallets from work, my siblings and I built a tree house at the back of our house. We’re all so creative and innovative in our own ways now we have 2 carpenters in the fam. And Princess Nay still living in her tree house 😂😂 mana hena
Every organic rubbish day around my hood my mum would gather us kids and take us to look for used goods. We would always have new used bikes, some even with no brakes. It’ll last until the next organic rubbish date then we’d get upgrades 😂😂👋🏾 it kept us grounded!!!!
Humble beginnings for real. So grateful I am content with everything! Literally one mans trash is another mans treasure... #organicrubbishNZ
Everyone’s mocks my siblings and I for driving around bombs for so many years but shit literally gets us from A-B-C, it’s called living within our means 😂 it’s about having that balanced poverty & prosperity mindset fam.. or maybe I’m just poor and that’s okay hahaha
Nothing wrong with public schools but I can only imagine my life had I went to a private school. I was offered scholarships from my rich palangi friends parents but my parents knew we couldn’t afford it plus my siblings and I are inseparable 😂😂😂😂
God knew not to let me experience a private school education cause Lord knows maybe I wouldn’t know half the people I know 😂😂🤦🏽‍♀️ BUT I am blessed with the best networks of friends & family nationally and world wide!!! I can only see it growing even more through social media
People always say I have too many friends but that goes to show how BIG my heart is and how much LOVE I always have for everyone. It’s a reflection on myself that comes with so much positives but is literally taught at home before anywhere else 💯
Another great memory was doing the paper run #CentralLeader all 6/8 siblings would get a street each around Epsom/One Tree Hill area! We did it throughout Primary and Intermediate 😂 tbh best experience ever, like free geography lessons everyday I knew every street that led home
I miss being part of our Tongan Sunday school and Fakamē 😂😂😂
