I decided to give Vlogging, or “Video Blogging” a go. This is my first attempt during which I talk about why I want to try vlogging and introduce myself a little.
Let me know what you think in the comments, so I can decide whether to keep it up or not.
Pipis Preschool
As some of you will know I really want to open my own preschool one day. In order to do that I need to learn how to run one. That’s one of the opportunities my new job is offering me. Plus my new centre is a smaller with only 25 children a day instead of up to 75 at Lollipops. I like the smaller more homely feel. At times Lollipops seemed way to much like a business. Don’t get me wrong a preschool is a business and needs to be run like one if you want to keep it open, but that doesn’t mean that it needs to feel or even look like it to the teachers, parents and children.
Today, I started my new job at Pipi’s Preschool. I actually worked at Pipi’s for 3 weeks earlier in the year while doing a teaching practice for University. I enjoyed it so much I decided to move. That being said Pipi’s also needs a lot of work. The staff are great but things aren’t running the best in my eyes.
Of course, things can change and my views of what is optimal will change as well. I’m just looking forward to learning a lot and pushing myself into more of a leadership role at my new centre.
Life Through a Child's Eye
When you are a child, you see life, accept it for what it is and view it with wonder. When you’re an adult you try to search out the secrets of life instead. Once you start to seek spirituality and try to learn the secrets your real happiness is lost.
Just like with the child in the first example who is the happiest when he is oblivious to the magician and just sees the magic trick a views it with the wonder of a child. We are happiest when we are oblivious to spirituality and just see life and view it with the wonder of a child.
If I could see the world
Thru the eyes of a child
What a wonderful world this would be
There’d be no trouble and no strife
Just a big happy life
With a bluebird in every treeI could see right, no wrong
I could see good, no bad
I could see all the good things
In life I’ve never had
If I could see the world
Thru the eyes of a child
What a wonderful world this would beIf I could see the world
Thru the eyes of a child
Smiling faces would greet me all the while
Like a lovely work of art
It would warm my weary heart
Just to see thru the eyes of a child.

Zeitgeist The Movie
This movie in a nut shell shows you that religion owns your ass, the government owns the religion’s ass, and the central banks owns the government’s ass. It is scary, scary shit.
You need to go download and watch this movie so that we can talk about it together.
Go do it now!
Nice first vlog!
Was a little weird watching you eat, but made it a bit different i guess… It was worth it to see your mo on video
I have to say, I find your writing excellent, easy to read and entertaining (You mentioned you don’t think you were any good at writing).
I know it can be tough to sit down and write – my blog feels more like a chore than a pleasure most of the time.
I guess if you find vlogging easier, more fun and less time consuming: go for that. Maybe you could mix it up a bit?
Yeah, I will still do some written blogs as well.
I’m more interested in getting Ivy involved and getting some vlogs going with the both of us talking about the same things from different perspectives.
Kia ora Ki – I like both your presentation style and your writing – entertaining and interesting but cut down on the swear words.
Love,
Dad
