"The nature of the beast" written by me
Hi - I recently made contact with some of my cousins on myspace. Being that it's been more than 10 years since I've seen these people it felt good to come in contact with them once again however it feels weird. You may have thought you had a great relationship with them when you were kids only to find out that wasn't the case. As adults you find out how they really felt about you. The pain that some felt and the things that have happened since then has now surfaced. WOW is all I could say. Happy to know them again, sad to hear the truth but moving on as always....
Family is suppose to be the rock of who we are. Sometimes this is not true. Sometimes you become a different person, a person who has to form a family with those who love you unconditionally...
"Why tell me you love me,when you love someone else"
To All of You my Sistas & Uso ;
Ou te fa'atalofa ma fa'afeloa'i atu ia te outou uma ile Agalelei ma le Alofa Tunoa o le Atua le Tama ,le Alo ma le Agaga Paia. May the Grace and Peace of our God the Father,the Son and His Holy Spirit be with each and everyone of you my Bothers and Sisters.

If any of you reading this and realizing we're related , God Bless You ! But to you who aren't ,God Bless You MORE ! Don't wanna get moded in tryin' to chat (or flirt) with a teine 'aulelei a , ae find out e tausoga (related)!
But in all seriousness , I would like to check out all of you from that side of the world (with all due rsepect). I'm totally aware of our existing and ongoing Samoan Custom and Culture being implemented and utilized within your communities there because it's very much well and alive over here in the Mainland ! Just wanna here from you of the Happenings and the Social Events or actually the life there , Us in the Mainland ... no work ... your homeless! That's why God Blessed us with BIG FAMILIES/AIGA , if you ever get near that situation or ready to push that Panic Button , you call or go see addy , Mommy , big or little Brother/Sister,Uncle,Aunty,Nephew,Niece and Cousin (did I miss anyone?) to lean on . Sorry folks ,gettin' kinda silly here, but it's kind of the way it actually is here. Oh ! I did forget to mention one main problem/crisis we're having right now ... Our Country ,State(California) and City(San Francisco) are all " BROKE " Have any of you ever before , have gotten an IOU from the Government in lieu of your Tax Refund ?So much for the " LAND of the FREE " , OK I think I've bored you folks enough , like I asked earlier, would anyone care to share of what goes on that side of the world ?
Ia Alofa ma Fa'amanuia atu Le Atua ia te outou uma ... May God's Love and Blessings be with you ALWAYS !
