Day 92

. . . Summer 2010 . . .

Day 91

The "wanting to go to the lake" started... The girls were asking dad non-stop to go. They even made Joey ask my dad because they knew that dad wouldn't say no to Joey. Haha.

They weren't in the water long though. The lake was very cold.

Day 86

My niece, Kathy showing her current smile! She lost 4 teeth so far and more coming off. I just had to take a picture because even the way she is talking is different. I remember that the first person she told her about a first lose tooth was me. I was very surprised and very happy about it to her. I was telling her that's it was coming off very soon, but she started arguing about it. She didn't want it to come off. She was probably scared about losing her teeth. Then I had to explain to her that it was her baby teeth that had to come off so she could get bigger teeth because she is growing up. She didn't agree with all of us during the first weeks or so, then she finally resisted and lost her first two that are already replaced by bigger ones. It was very funny and I loved her for it! She is growing up very fast. It seems like yesterday that I was very happy and excited about becoming an aunt!
Nujangi kajuutsutiit! <3

Day 77

Joe.. Dude.. Joe Dude. He is awesome. Like, very really so much awesome. We've been friends since I don't know when. With the ups and downs roller coaster rides. I've been classmates with him since Grade 6 and graduated on June 16, 2008. I am very proud of him because he is going to college this coming fall. It will be my last semester of college, but I am going to make sure that he has a blast on his first semester.

Day 76

"To succeed, you need to find something to hold on to. Something to motivate you, something to inspire you." -Tony Dorsett quotes

Day 75

We've been having some cloudy days with some rain and SNOW. Despite the wet drops, the view is still beautiful on a dull looking day.

Day 74

Dad left today.. My grandpa is having health problems and they're off to the hospital. I hope my grandpa will be okay and also my daddy escorting him. It's weird not seeing dad in the house. Not saying "what's up, baby?" when I walk into the living room. Even though, I think everything will be alright.

Here's a little picture, or should I say big? Haha. "We. The four babies." I, with my three younger siblings. Salumie, Christy and the only boy, Coniliusi. (Two other babies aren't included in the pic, but I'll mention them. Hilda, my big sister and my late twin sister, Salumie.)

Much, much Love!!

Day 73

My Big Sister with her son. She's awesome and I love her!

Day 72

Joey's little Nanuk. Joey: "nanuk! nanuk!" with a high pitched voice.. CUTE!

Day 71

I call these little Snowballs "Three Musketeers" because they are three little cousins that are together most of the time. Luckily, they were just outside my place and this picture of them together was the best one I could get since they could not just stand still. They go everywhere. They are all named after my late Grandfather, Etua. They are all on my mother's side of the family.

The other one who was missing in yesterday's blog is my other little cousin Sandy Etua. I just call him "taanti" Just because. He is the son of my aunt Martha. The little brother of the blogger, Mini Maali. I love his smile and his little attitude.

Day 70

One of the younger ones in the Snowball family. Now both in school, so I don't think I should say they are the youngest.

The little baby girl is my niece, Kathy. I say that she is following the steps of all the tomboys in the family. She pretty much goes everywhere. Mommy dresses her well like a girly one, but the outcome is that she gets them dirty like a tomboy should. She goes on bike rides and just stay outdoors. Despite the weight she has, she can keep up with herself and just run around. I love people like that. Yes, I admire tomboys. :D

The other little Snowball is my cousin Etua, the son of my uncle David and Penina. He is named after my late grandpa. We call him "Aakung" because he used to say that when he tried saying "apukuu." Practically everybody calls him that, even my little 2 year old nephew. He is the other bike buddy of my niece. The other musketeer wasn't around, so he is not included in the picture due to the little accident he had. But I will try and get a pic of him and put it in my blog.

Day 69

My Daddy! I followed him when he went to fly his planes. That's his new hobby, I guess. It looks fun, but I'm too scared to ask to try.

I love you Dad!!

Day 68

I took a few pictures at my Angusiak's baptism. I chose this picture because there is action done by the priest dude AND Joey being so curious in the picture makes me laugh. Yes, I think it's funny. I laugh every time I see this!

Day 67

Who doesn't love a muddy path? My little nephew enjoyed his walk on the mud on a low tide.
If you look at the background, you can see some smoke. People were having a pik-nik there.

Day 66

There are so many things that I must say... I tried going elsewhere to say something. The people who have a different view from this place are too far away. The people here don't seem to have a different way of seeing things.. Anyway..

I feel a lot of things today. I feel the feeling that I should write about it. Like I said, there are so many things that are in mind. May it be family, friends, school, community, people, love, and everything and anything. Being a student that goes in and out of the community going to a place that is something very the opposite of this place. And then Being back here, I see things, problems and I too have my own problems like a small town girl. I'm learning and I learned what's not right and I feel like I have to right the wrong. I feel that everyone should be this way and not just keep negative things to mind. When there is a problem with my family, I try to be very patient and not let it get to me. I try to understand why one family member is being the way they are. It's really hard to see things the way we don't want to see things like seeing something negative in a family member. Sometimes, we get carried along and say something bad about someone and not look at the situation from a different view. I really want to talk and say that we should lead a different path that leads to something good. But it's hard to help someone who does not want help. So I say, i'll wait until you get out of your hole. I'll be patient and go with the flow. I'm sorry that things are this way now, but I don't want to feel responsible for this anymore.

Still feeling like I am in my teens, yet feeling a little old. Not old enough yet to lead people and not knowing yet of what I should do as a leader. I question what we as a community should do about these situations that are seen in the community because something is not working. If something is being done, something is not working. So maybe we should try something new until something works. I highly disagree people who go on the air. All I hear is "You bad people do this and that, it's not right, it's bad, you should stop." Instead of putting something positive about it. So I just shut the FM radio off and if I can't, put on my headphones on a listen to some music. I don't know if you understand, but I want young ones to be inspired like I was inspired when I was younger. I want young ones to stay in school with a good purpose.

That is the most I can write right now.. I can't think anymore.. o.O But here's a quote:
“If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”
- Dr Wayne Dyer

Here's a picture I took this evening when I went to the beach with mom, dad, Salu and my little nephew. I took a few pictures there, but this one was inspirational freedom looking, so I chose it for this entry.
