Under the Coconut Tree: January 2010
http://cocokeo.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Under the Coconut Tree. Tuesday, January 26, 2010. Here's my funny Tinto conversation for the week - or for the hour I should say, as she spurts out the silliest most preposterous things on a minute basis. My dad is quite frail and needs help when standing up. This morning we were in the sitting room, and Cheeku was helping him up from his chair. He stumbled, and Tino called out ". You might be slipped! He might be slipped and then he might be DIED! Friday, January 15, 2010. What to do -. I had an intere...

Things Laura Writes: It's A Small World
http://thingslaurawrites.blogspot.com/2015/07/its-small-world.html
An ambiguous blog title to allow me to write whatever I please. Enjoy perusing, and do good things for the ones you love. Friday, 24 July 2015. It's A Small World. I live in a globalised society. We are citizens of the world. Internet lets me connect to people around the world, in real time. We are aware that where we are is not all there is. But my world is a small one. How is the electricity of my technological lifestyle harming the planet? Should we all change? I really don't know. Questions we need t...

(Seriously) Crazy in Siusega: August 2015
http://siusegacrazy.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Seriously) Crazy in Siusega. Crazy and confused. All the time, every time. Wednesday, 5 August 2015. I love people watching. It may possibly be one of my favorite pastimes, right up there next to 48 hour sleeps and self pity rants. Everyone is wearing some sort of closed shoes. Because it's winter obviously. I am the only dumbass wearing seevae kosokoso, because I'm staunch like that (and can't find closed shoes in my size 13). Straightened. Girl, you fat. No amount of foundation will hide that. So all I...

Samoa Aviator Blog: Keep your love letters.
http://enidwesterlund.blogspot.com/2015/02/keep-your-love-letters.html
A blog about life on a tropical island, being an aerosexual in Samoa, trotting the globe and other musings on life. Wednesday, February 18, 2015. Keep your love letters. At this age of technology and fast wagging tongues, our houses are overflowing with old (real) stuff that we used to love and now neglect. That old grandma-ish shoe box, the lace curtain which can be turned into a wedding dress. In continuing the old tradition, I told my special friend at the time to send me hand written letters when I w...

start. stop. rinse. repeat.: something about the rain...
http://brighousel.blogspot.com/2015/06/rainy-days.html
Start stop. rinse. repeat. Here we go again. Friday, June 5, 2015. Something about the rain. There's something comforting about the rain. It reminds me of my grandma’s old fale Samoa. When we were growing up. Of rain baths and running around outside. It reminds me of thunderstorms, overflowing the river behind our house, and everyone huddled up inside with our flashlights and candles during tropical cyclones. Something about the rain….

Things Laura Writes: February 2015
http://thingslaurawrites.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
An ambiguous blog title to allow me to write whatever I please. Enjoy perusing, and do good things for the ones you love. Monday, 23 February 2015. Series of tweets I posted last week:. Rejection isn't about how "not good enough" you were. It's just a matter of preference. Opinion. Subjectivity. It's them not you. In saying that - don't make them the bad guy for not liking you back. Don't take it personally (even tho it's SO gosh darn personal. lol). So I bent myself to try fit what I. And I deserved som...

Fobilicious- tala mai se teine Samoa i Sydney: May 2014
http://sydneyfob.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
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: "I'll stand with you"
http://sydneyfob.blogspot.com/2012/08/ill-stand-with-you.html
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 ...

the nekkid truth: Is culture a hindrance to progress?
http://nakedjournalist.blogspot.com/2009/04/is-culture-hindrance-to-progress.html
Arrr i think and write therefore i am :). Friday, April 24, 2009. Is culture a hindrance to progress? During a recent visit back to Samoa, one of the family elders, in his 80s and losing a grip on our reality, made some decisions about the extended family home. 8220;Cut down all the trees in the front of the house, I want to see the cars on the road,” he proclaimed. One, worn out chain saw, two machetes and four tired cousins later, his wish was granted, the trees were gone. But what is progress? Sometim...
