So my last plea......

 

Ten reason why you should bring ME home out of all these amazing entries:

1) Im the ultimate family person (even if they dont want me back, i want to see them)

2) My friends need someone to vent to that has experienced nearly every bad situation possible

3) I miss the word "real", which comes around oh so rarely in America =P (no offence, im just not a make up person hehe)

4) Food!!!! I miss llift plus, real meat, pies (omg pies), kiwi blue water, kiwi roasts etc etc etc...

5) NZ Scenery! I miss green, sheep (believe it or not), real trees (palm trees are only good like everything, in moderation)....

6) Surf beaches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When you can rock up to the beach in jandals and a singlet and not feel under dressed

7) The kiwi accent. I miss people (apart from me) saying "heaps and heaps bro"...

8) The weather (and man i miss NZ SUMMER)....

9) Being able to just go to the shop and buy marmite (or even go to my friends house) because seriously finding marmite here is mission impossible!!!!!!

and...

10) Because hopefully after all the last two months of travelling marmite has done and the people marmite has met, number 9 wont be a problem anymore.... ;)

Marmite has gone worldwide in the last two months! This was an insanely good competition... All the benefits for Marmite, but mostly all the benefits for us!!! Marmite has given kiwi's such a good last two months. We have all had so much fun.... No sad faces in this comp. Whoever wins i am STOKED for you, and even if we dont, it has been so much fun! I really have been completely happy in this comp! Marmite made me happy! I love my life (apart from the fact i dont have a flight home currently) and i love the people arouns me (which i learnt from this comp).... Im happy! And its because of you!!!!!

Good luck Kiwis abroad!!!!!! Thank you marmite!!!!!! Its been a great two months (didnt think i could love marmite anymore..... but i do)

Over the years of my life I have seen many competitions (especially my mum trying win a car etc- every time admit she is going to win, shes still trying) but in my opinion I think is is the coolest competition I've seen! So thanks marmite!!!!!! Your 'heart' is in the right place for sure! Mint page Tanz, true kiwi.. New Zealand, Marmite and all your fans are waiting for you, so good luck!

Mar"mite-mares".......

Sadly as this will most likely be my last video entry, I wanted to show you at Sanitarium what has been happening recently.... Its been tough times and as we get closer to the end of the "best competition EVER", these "mite-mares" have been occurring more often.... I can't tell if its because i wanna come home, or because the competition is ending (although i do REALLY want to come home) =P......... Marmite, this competition has been so awesome!!!!!!! Thank you for everything! I don't think you know how big an impact this has had on everyone.... Its GREAT!!!!!! So thank you AGAIN!!! There will be more posts but after this no more video (i dont film nicely haha)....... Until then... Enjoy!

A very good day ..... In the end!

 

So on finishing my weekend with Marmite (oh and my team) we decided to head back to the airport in order to catch our flight back home. Like always, Marmite was right by my side. COMPLETELY forgetting (again) that this type of product can not go through customs i began having a panic attack once i realised i pushed my bag (containing Mr Marmite) though the xray. Once customs took my bag, i also realised i had vegemite in there. (purely for a video cause, nothing else). They tried to take it away from me, my team was begging them not to even. It wasnt until they saw my eyes begin to water up that they began to soften up too. After ten minutes of defending Marmites honour, i managed to convince them all the only reason they dont enjoy marmite, is because their read is not fit for a spread of Marmite. (All true by the way, their bread is sweet)
Marmite wins once again, and on we went with our adventure. A few more photos to upload....

Also did i mention, our team won again....!! Marmite has now become a team mascot..... Good luck charm........ Friend...... etc........

A great success!!!

 

I know this is my first post in a little while but it is with a good reason. Last week i was diagnosed with a very rare condition called "missingmarmite-itus". Although i have previously experienced this before, i have never to this extent. I had several symptoms and the worst being depression, over dramatising and even vegemite cravings?!?!?!? As my friends became more and more concerned for my athletic performance slump they decided to jump in and try find the magic spread. Even though it turned out finding a NZ product in a foreign country was extremely hard, we succeeded. There was just one problem, with the extent of requirement for retrieving this item, we had to jump into the "get tania home" budget and we are now another $1.75 shorter for a flight home. This is where im hoping you come in. If its any consolation to you, I feel i may have saved you quite a significant (nz flight home) amount of money on international advertising. Marmite has made its debut around the world and in the last week i have been explaining to atleast ten people a day how great marmite really is. Come on Marmite, bring me home!!! =)

PS: Following are a few photos of Marmites adventure!!!

And it begins........

 

Originally when i was told about this i thought it was a joke considering my friends at home had already begun a "get tania home" fund. But like me, most of my friends are in college (well the ones who would pitch in to this fund therefore right now only the ones who matter) so counting on this, its not really looking too good. (Still love you guys for trying but the $1.75 you managed to make finding the old 5cent coins that we dont use anymore i dont think is going to cut it).

So a friend tells me about this page, and it feels like that last inch of hope (once i finally believe it) that im going to be home for my birthday, christmas and New Years (because YAY pharell is coming), and i think to myself, what the hell lets go all out and try win a flight home.

After this weekend there will be some videos, more photos, and a whole lot more pleading and begging for you to vote and get me home to the best country in the world........ Seriously it really is!!!!

PS: What did i bring here? Milo, Pineapple lumps and of course Marmite!

BRING THE KIWI'S HOME!!!! =)

Sure, you may have 100,000 facebook friends to vote for you but it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re on the plane. It’s a quality, then quantity rule round here. We’ll be making our decision based on originality and creativity, how well your entry fits with the values of the Marmite brand, then popularity.
