Hi everyone, my name's Leaara-Jade. My friends and family all call me Leaara, my cyber friends know me as Jade, my olds call me Leaara-Jade when they're angry (!!!), and some of my aunts and uncles call me Miss Boo or Boo Boo as well. Any of the above is fine just so long as you spell it right.
ANYWAYZ, I can waffle on alot but who cares.

I'm a 22 year old maori femal, born and bred in this beautiful country of Aotearoa (New Zealand). I truly couldn't live in any other country, however I did live in Singapore for 2 years b/c my dad was in the army. But I was 2 then, so I kinda had no say in the matter. I'm currently living in Auckland city, been here for about 11 years now and I'm KURA HARD all the way, RESPECT!!! I have also lived in Wellington (4 yrs) and Palmerston North (5 yrs). MUCH LOVE for Palmy, made some great friends there, I'll be moving back there some day, SO LOOK OUT YOU HIGHBURY HOODLUMS!!
But neither of those cities are where I originate from.
My father's from Waitotara Valley, Whanganui. We have one of THE most beautiful marae down there called Takirau. Ask anyone who knows Takirau, 'He tino ataahua'. I'm proud to say that I've spent alot of my school holidays at that marae, not many maori can say that. Some MASSIVE memories there!! Still plenty more to come aye cuzzies.
My mum's from Taihape (Tie-happy). I have 3 marae down there, Opaea, Mowhango and Winiata. When I leave this world, I'm going back to Opaea marae to be with my great-grandmother and my grandfather who I never got to meet. I didn't spend much time in Taihape when I was growing up as a kid, but I'm starting to now as an adult. MUCH LOVE for my whanau down there, JAH RASTAFARI.
