2015

It was a normal Sunday, I was helping my Mum make the Lunch. All of a sudden everything went still.  “ Malu just died”. When I heard that my heart stopped. I thought back to the time  found  out that Malu was going to die. I couldn’t stop crying. It was a very devastating time for my family.  The saddest part was that, he died 5 days before Christmas.

We all went still, I felt like bursting into tears but I knew I had to stay strong for him. He had been sick for as long as I could remember. He had his last hours in the hospital  with the family. We had to wait for my Dad to arrive home, it felt like waiting for a turtle in a race.  Everything around me was moving slow.

When we arrived at the rest home/hospital we saw alot of family, and friends gather in that one room. I couldn’t bear to go inside. I hated seeing my mum upset and sad. It just made me sad thinking about it. I hated the holidays, it wasn’t that fun or happy at all. In fact it was the exact opposite.

After the Body was clean and frozen, it was taken to my Aunt's House. Everyday and night we would spend our time there.  Everyone who knew uncle Malu, went to the house and paid there respects. One the Funeral day, all of the family were at the house. As I stood at the doorstep I could just feel the emotion and hurt.

The Samoan tradition is like none other. The Samoan tradition is very strong in Religion and Dance. The Malu is worn by the highest chief's daughter in a village, She is called the Taualuga or Taupou. She lead’s her village with dignity and respect. She dance’s the Taualuga. She wears a head piece and performs her dance. Us Samoa's use the kava at special occasions. Today, Samoan Girls use the Malu as a display. Little do they know the Malu is very Sacred. The Malu is only revealed at special occasions.

I’m not perfect. I don’t have that perfect world with perfect people. Let’s face it. This world is cruel, Very cruel. I hate alot of people which is natural I hate this particular person. She/He is sooo annoying and mean. Sometimes she/he reminds me of those cruel people on Oliver Twist. She/he is not so good at what they do. Most of the time she/e scare’s the people they work with. Let’s just say this person’s name is James. James is a carpenter. He makes children cry and always talk’s about his stupid miserable life ( like we care).  James always has something to say.

In other words, I’ve never hate James so much!!

In other words, I’ve never hated somebody so much!!

Expressive Writing : Life

20.08.14 Life

Life is like a gift. A big gift, We have to use this particular gift with care. Life isn't easy. In life we all have our problem’s, As if we don’t. We don’t have that perfect life that everybody strives for. Life isn't about doing drugs, Raping or drinking. Life is about having a go and making mistakes. Life is also about fixing your mistakes. In life we are the flowers. We grow everyday and learn new things:)

Expressive Writing : Would You Rather Be A Mountain or Tree??

 

Learn: 

* To use punctuation constantly

* To make sense of what I write

* To use Specific and interesting vocabulary

Underlined Words = Vocabulary

Personally I'd rather be a Mountain. Because I want to feel the earth breathing. Being a Mountain, you wouldn't have to worry about life or death. Because Mountain's don't die. Nature never dies. Except for trees, When it gets cut down it literately dies.Being a Mountain who wouldn't have to worry about what you look like or smell. You don't have to worry about being judged either. Being a tree there would be a lot to worry about. The roots of the tree is what holds it together. It's kind of like a house. A good foundation, is what a house's  need. Those are the reason's why I want to be a Mountain.

EXPERSIVE WRITING - Australia Trip

 Memories flash by, Painful and joyful ones. All except one. The time I went to Australia. It was full of exciting and tragic memories. Well that's life, Nobody's Perfect..... Right?? 

I found out that my cousin had Cancer. I felt sorry for her. We also had joyful times, such as going to Movie World. Another tragic strikes, My cousin went to the hospital. I really did miss my family back home. But I saw alot of things outside Auckland, New Zealand. I  could hardly breath. The hot thick air was overwhelming. At least it wasn't as cold as it would be in New Zealand.

Because of the temperature, My Eczema got worse. The pain was unbearable. It made it worse being sick on Christmas. I wasn't really happy. There's nothing to do. Ohh Welll, It's back to school. No more relaxing and snoozing around. Can't Wait for the next holiday's
