Kamusta Patrick, I hope you’re having a wonderful day!
Thank you so much for sharing your pepeha! It’s a really special thing to read to get to know someone and their background a little better. I like how you’ve put a photo of yourself and have added your parents in, as well as your school!
That’s so cool that you’re from the Phillipines - I visited the Philippines a year ago and had an incredible time, my favourite place was Coron. I also read that you’re from Kelston, what is your favourite part about living there? I sometimes work there and my favourite part is getting Panikeke from the Oceania store, yum yum :)
Next time you do a pepeha, it would be good to do both the English and Maori versions - this means your blog viewers will still be able to read it, even if they don’t speak Maori :)
I did my pepeha a few months ago and I enjoyed doing it as It made me think about my family, my home, and my background, although I am still trying to learn it off by heart! Here it is:
Ko Mount Iron te maunga (Mount Iron is my mountain)
Ko Cheltenham te awa (Cheltenham is my river/water)
Ko University of Auckland tōku kura (University of Auckland is my school)
Nō Tāmaki Makaurau ahau (Auckland is my town/city/country)
Ko Eliza tōku ingoa (Eliza is my first name)
I hope that you will keep blogging with us over the summer. Keep working on the teaser week activities and on the 16th of December you can start the Week 1 activities.
Thanks for your awesome pepeha and keep up the great mahi!
