Fobilicious- tala mai se teine Samoa i Sydney. The musings and meanderings of a Samoan stranded in Sydney. Saturday, 17 May 2014. When I was doing my bachelors degree. Nothing annoyed me more. Of those mature age students. You know the earnest kind. Or wanted to discuss. That seemed interested in the actual course. Like they may have done the actual readings. And wanted to actually discuss. Acting like they came here to learn. When the rest of us. Wake up in someone else’s bed drunk. But it’s ok. Who hav...

Fobilicious- tala mai se teine Samoa i Sydney. The musings and meanderings of a Samoan stranded in Sydney. Thursday, 2 August 2012. I'll stand with you". Three Proud People- mural in Newtown. I didn't know about Peter Norman until Damien Hooper wore the Aboriginal flag on his t-shirt into the Olympic arena. Just before he kicked ass for Australia. Incredulous that the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) had chosen to censure him citing IOC rule 50 and the sanctity of the Olympic spirit, my mind. I didn't ...

Fobilicious- tala mai se teine Samoa i Sydney: My Culture, My Malu- a reply

Fobilicious- tala mai se teine Samoa i Sydney. The musings and meanderings of a Samoan stranded in Sydney. Tuesday, 19 June 2012. My Culture, My Malu- a reply. I have a malu. An 'au. Has bitten my skin and indelible black marks remain to tell the tale. I don't hide this. In fact, on any given day in Sydney, you can see a Samoan woman heading into work in a conservative grey suit, and you may not look twice or notice the vae'ali. And symbolising that it is on this service of the untitled- the aualuma.

Fobilicious- tala mai se teine Samoa i Sydney. The musings and meanderings of a Samoan stranded in Sydney. Sunday, 8 September 2013. I am not a migrant or a refugee. I am not a migrant or a refugee. Sometimes that still shocks me. The me that is not quite white. The me that listens as people trip. Over the soft round vowels of my name. The me that refuses to cover. The tattoos that show me as other. And knows that neither my father nor mother. I am not a migrant or a refugee. One who has warred with waves.
