new blogger!yay me!

it's a sunday night here in good ol SLC, UT. there's really nothing to do, ever. but to go to club T and waste time talking to random strangers there. but i'd rather start up a new blog! (and then maybe go there later? lol) anywho, i thought to start a new blog because i don't have a fb anylonger (as of may 2011) so life's been dull. i havn't been in the loop with all the drama and dirt on fb!lol. i was actually sick of it which is why i deleted it. so blogging here goes :)




im 20 years young and now that i think of it, havn't done too bad for myself. currently a student at the University of Utah on a full ride scholarship thank heavens! i've been extremely blessed from growing up with the knowledge of a wonderful gospel that I believe is true, to having a wonderful family.and yes i do belong to the church of jesus christ of latter day saints and am so grateful to be. i like nephi was born of goodly parents who keep me grounded at all times. i have one older shorter and skinnier sister (curse her!) whose my best friend, whose taught me everything i know, and four fat brothers (except my favorite mike) lol. i've been extremely blessed with an amazingly huge and loud and LOVING extended family who is my support system.not to mention very very few friends who are so good to me.i say very few because i'm a LONER lol.i stay close to family mostly, ive learned that in the end, you just can't get rid of them even through the drama lol.and that blood is surely thicker than water-always.




ive always been a square now that i think of it lol, no really.never drank, smoked (well once or twice when i was tryna be cool wit mery in the backyard when i was 5 and 10 lol) wrecked a car or did anything crazy with a boy. why is that? I DON'T KNOW! OMG, my cousins, friends always try to get me drunk or high lol but whenever im around that i just don't care to even try it. i know i know im freakin weird. im a square i told you. but it's not like im scared of anything, my parents are the most kick back parents ever,i've been neglected a lot throughout my life haha, but i love them because they never judge me or my siblings or pressure us to be anybody but ourselves. even in college being around friends who do party or whatnot, doesn't phase me because i just feel like it's just not for me. but just recently i've been contemplating getting a tat!LOL wow how rebel is that huh haha. i just want my last name and dad's name and a fish  symbol (a sign of christianity and my last name!cool huh.) somewhere on my body, along with my cousins (who say there's nothing wrong with decorating your temple when i tell them "your body is a temple") who are pressuring me to get a tat with them. so ya ill keep ya posted.that'll be the craziest thing ive ever did in my life, i dunnoe if im down?well see. anywho im not sure because ive been preparing to serve a mission! i've been trying to practice what i preach.so tatoo should be out of the pic!but satan's workin me lol.




i love to help people.it makes me feel so happy inside, really.i love to travel and go sight seeing, i especially love meeting family when traveling and talking stories about how we are related and of our ancestors and relatives.i love doing genealogy and finding out more about family history and more about my culture and roots, it's exciting to hear how my grandma (my mom's mom) was a english professor in Tonga and how smart she was. i know i take after her, or at least i wish  :) i love going to the temple because i know that my family beyond the veil is patiently awaiting my help. family time is the best time, from spending time with my Tuihalamaka family in L.A. to my Ika family here in Utah.i always have a good time with both families. being tongan is such a blessing, we know who our 5th 6th cousins are and stay close no matter the distance.family reunions are crazy fun and we create memories that last forever.




i want to serve a full time LDS mission, because i want to know more about our savior, because i love our savior jesus christ, and KNOW so many of his children out there are longing to know him too. going on a mission will be the best experience..i just know it!great advice that my sister katie counseled with me is that a mission is an experience you can't get anywhere else in this world.you could settle down and do the whole marriage thing, but if you serve a mission you would gain things that would make you an even better wife and mother.you are dedicating your life to the lord for some months, and he will bless you greatly.i want to learn, i want to grow, and thus i will prepare and go when i turn 21!june 2012 come soon :)it's crazy because it wasn't until 2010, my sophmore year in college that i actually gained a testimony of christ,for myself.i was 18 and alone. i was living in the dorms away from home, attending a weird student ward alone and felt kinda empty. i was blessed to gain such wonderful friends who didn't know it but who affected me a great deal. their examples changed my life, i wanted to be like them. strong and godloving. i wanted to know for myself more about the gospel. which is when i started reading the BOM and actually learning more about the gospel of jesus christ and myself.it's sad to say ive grown up in this gospel my entire life and never finished the BOM, but am currently working on it!another reason why i feel i must go is because i know that my family needs to be spiritually uplifted by example, i know i can be that example. i love my family and wouldn't change anyone of them, (well maybe yami lol jp) but know that our spirituality needs some work. i am so grateful for strong family and friends who have paved the way for me to have the desire to serve the lord soon. these friends of mine are so near and dear to my heart and are currently on their missions at the moment :) which has made me an even BIGGER LONER :( but i'll be joining them shortly! the list goes on but my mains who have changed my life are: Sister Katie Lynn Ika, Sister Keano Maumau, Elder DJ Maumau, Elder S Fangupo and Future: Elder Lahler Potesio, Sister Clarissa M Paicely and Sister Nancy Pamela Otukolo.  i love love missionaries :)




im a simple girl with big dreams :) my main purpose in this life is to be happy, and everyone says that i know, so what does that mean? to me, that is to spend as much time being of service to all, especially to my loved ones.service means time:spending time with them, helping them even with the simplest things, and to just be there; to listen, to help bbysit, clean, or talk shiz with lol. being happy to me is gaining knowledge about anything and everything, so that you can better yourself, and knowledge is what we take with us in the next life, it's all you take with you afterall, and your family :) i know families are forever :) my main goal is to finish school, get a couple degrees even, get a stable job and support my parents so they don't have to sweat anylonger and so they can travel the world because they deserve too! and to buy Mona a Range Rover when she turns 16 :) lol. ya i know im a cool auntie! im everyone's favorite, i just know it :) oh and if your wondering what the heck i'm gonna be, im wondering that too!?for now what im thinking is that i want to become a medical doctor.i want to help my family and the community, i owe it to them!after all i've been so blessed by the community.i am currently majoring in psychology with an emphasis in pre-med.i was originally set on becoming a nurse, but that changed this year because i just loved working with the MD's during an internship and know that i can be one too, with god NOTHING is impossible. i am still not SET on becoming a doctor, but for right now it seems fit.i feel that after serving my mission i will receive inspiration on what i am meant to do.all i know is that i love medicine.i love healing others, and especially learning more about myself and my own body, it is the reason why we are alive and functioning. i always want to better myself and hope to become more active.something random: a goal for 2012 is to complete a 10 K with my sister Lu during the pioneer parade race in the morning with uncle taliauli!lol.i know we can do it, i just hope we can keep up with him!i hope to get my dad involved with it too :) another random goal is that i want to become a pilates instructor, and my last random goal is to go to all the temples around the world and put in work for the lord!i would be SOOOO COOL if i did that:) ill let you know as soon as i do ;)
