A Visit to the GRA…oink.oink..

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009. Filed under: Life Stories

I remembered a very interesting saying from a friend that I met traveling here to New Zealand. He said that “we all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of each other everywhere”. *oink* I guess I can say that for the friends I made in the GRA. Do you remember Ryan, the gentleman who helped me in the airport? He invited me to go his place and meet some very nice people. *oink* I took the invitation and went to this GRA place. All I can say is WOW! ..*oink*

As I walked into their living room, there was so much happening. *oink* People were cooking, some were drinking, there were people having a laugh. Apparently, there was leaving away party going on. “Why do they celebrate when people leave?”, I oinked to myself. Then I realized it was not because people are leaving that they are celebrating. I guess it was the celebration of their friendship.*oink* It was not very difficult to see how close these people are. All of them just seemed to be very happy…*oink*.

It did not take long for the people to notice me (I am a walking and talking little pink pig after all). *oink* I was expecting to see shocked looks but on the contrary, I was greeted with enthusiasm (as if I was being expected). *oink* And the next thing I knew, I was being carried, moved, squeezed around! I guess posting these photos would give a better view of what happened. *oink*

At the end of it all though, I made good friends. *oink* What did I take from that night? I took with me an understanding of friendship. But is made me think…”How important is friendship as I walk through life”? .*oink*

*oink note — GRA is what they call the place they live in. It means Glenside Revolutionary Army. I guess it a joke amongst themselves. *oink* *oink*

Kia ora Ranie!! (it means hello in Maori here in New Zealand… oink..oink). Thank you for your comments. I live in an apartment in Auckland City with two Dutch friends *oink* *oink*. I take care of myself basically. But sometimes I ask help every now and then especially when I take the elevator or press the walk sign to cross the street.

Yes, I know Gino. He is my photographer. If you remember how I escaped from the barn. I tried to check for places to go and a good photographer during my travels because it is difficult to set my camera on timer mode and run to my spot. *oink* *oink*. He is a very nice guy and talented in photography. You should check his works when his website is up…*oink**oink*.

I am a "he". *Oink* Keep in touch. If you wish subscribe to blog so you will learn about me and maybe you can help me in my quest to find my purpose in life. I am on adventure to discover it. Maybe if I meet more people, I will learn more about myself and why a little pink pig like me can talk when the others cannot. *oink* *oink*
