Proud Tongan Here

So I've ignored this video for probably a week now then I saw my cousin in France posting it on her Facebook wall. I thought why not listen to it but that was it..... this song is my daily food.
If you are obsessed like I am with this, please share and enjoy.


Thanks,
Malia

It's hard to do Good

To do good and be nice is a constant reminder for our A.Kat every morning. So on my way to drop her off at school on Tuesday, I did not have to remind her because she told me that she was going to be nice and try to do good. I was so relieved to hear it but what I did not not expect was the following sentence "mom, it's hard to do good but I will try harder".......that coming from a 4 years old is a slam dunk on my face.

She made me wonder who is teaching who and reminded me that we coexist in this life. Her simple sentence took me to a place that I have not been in a while, reality. If 1/4 of me is unknown to me and only others can see and know, then apparently, we live for one another.

Before I head to bed, I wanted to add that I took A.Kat to church for the first time ever last Sabbath and she enjoyed going to see Jesus. A shortfall on my part and I am regretting it but I know that God's timing is the best. Hopes spring eternal!


Don't forget to be good and do good, I know I will.

Can't get lost in the moment forever.....

It all started after I got home from work.

As usual, I would sit down beside my husband and watch the 6 o'clock news before cooking dinner. As we were watching the news, the Wednesday Child of the day was a 15 year old girl. Wednesday Child is a program formed to help foster children or orphans available for adoption.
There was silence in the room as the news focused more on the poor child only to be awaken to reality by my husband's voice....."so sad to know that you're not wanted anywhere," whispered my husband.
A deep sentimental conversation arose from this subject like.... what will happen to our precious daughter if an unfortunate incident happens to us (mom and dad). I was tearing up as my beloved husband discussed the options she will have if neither one of us is around to take care of her.
First, I do not have any close family here and so is my husband, or let's just say...there's no one that she can call if such thing occurs. The only people that will come for her rescue are people like Wednesday's Child. Not that I ever want such to ever happen but it is a possibility. (tearing more...)
The more I ponder on this, the heavier my heart grows. I cannot imagine life without either my little sweetheart or my darling husband.
Anyways, in the moment I began to realize how much I or any person can lose if I had become a self-centered woman. As of late, I have been busy with how I look and do things I've never done before like waxing.
Right there and then, I learned that to become idle and lost in a selfish moment can be a real obstruction to the relationship you or I have with my loved ones.
I went back to being myself, the person that cares about others more than myself. The person that loves to give more than to receive. This is who I am as a person.
And one thing I know for sure that if anyone ever really loves me other than my Jesus, it is my loving husband. He adores me no matter what......I just have to be me and be authentic.

Living a Double Life!

Do you know anyone or a close relative that loves living a double life? Well, I do and to define our main topic, sadly it isn't one to boast about. 

"Living a double life means having one set of people/family etc think you do certain things, be that a certain job, certain way of living, but you also do other certain things, live a different way at other times etc that they do not know about."

For instance, I have a husband who is the head of my local church with 6 children. And with all these children we need to spread our expense sheet and to do so I came to the United States of America to work to be able to help. But instead of focusing on my job as a caregiver, I'm a full time lover to a young man who doesn't have a job and resides here illegally.

 I mean, what kind of a WOMAN is that????To be able to leave your kids behind just so you can enjoy one lousy dick, is soooo freaking ridiculous. And we're not just talking about one child or two, we're talking about 6 here. I don't know what the husband is thinking but I know that he once decided to leave her before which means this ain't her first time. She's doing it repeatedly to a point where she cannot differentiate between her cousins' and other men....sickening to my stomach.

To be aware that such thing do not happen to you or your loved ones here are some identifying behavior you might see:

*Frequent excuses for not being on time
*Prohibiting you from a look at his/her cell phone
*Unusual behavior at the work place
*When you have very less or no access to his financial data
*When he/she cannot aptly reason out as to why a particular thing was done
*When he/she is constantly in contact with his/her ex
*When he/she frequently compares you with someone else
*When he/she attends a lot of parties with his/her friends
*Unusual irritations at home
*Less or no involvement in family matters or related issues


The terrible consequences that can derive from this is not one to deal with lightly. I know a person that lives this life and tends to use drugs to erase the guilty conscience but in reality you can never erase a wrong doing with the wrong solution, the only solution is to TURN AROUND and go back home......COUGAR!!!!!

Leasing an office vs not leasing it!

Ok so my husband is a small business owner, therefore I know what it's like to have a home based office and when it's necessary to have a separate office from home.

If you are operating your business out of your home, it's a brilliant idea..... ONLY if you don't have kids. We all know that one child is handful and if this is your case, then I'd recommend you lease an office. Leasing an office is not so hard to do these days since property owners are looking to satisfy the needs of people like you and me.

Before considering leasing an office, the emphasis should be put into why did you love working from home. Firstly, you can work whenever you can or want to. Secondly, you don't have to pay a dime for using your home space. You don't have to dress up or worried about being late, that's right....your business, your time in your own pace. Consider the same thing when you look to lease an office.

Before that, here's why I had to lease one myself:

*Definitely do not like the distractions especially when trying to entertain or meet with a client/customer because I have a little squawk-box running around the house.

*Cabinet files may not always be at the order I want them to be.

*Having a different location to welcome clients and customers to is safer in my opinion than having them (strangers) coming to my house. Would not want a stranger knowing every corners of my house and my children's name.

With all that said, I believe I did the right thing renting an office space. BUT remember if you change your mind and want to lease an office, make sure you can have:

-24 hour access to the office

-internet connection

-good onsite parking space

............................................and more so that you remain flexible as you are your own BOSS!!!

I'm in Georgia and renting an office space from White Rental Properties which I'm fully satisfied with and I know you will too if you choose to do so:

The Person within ME

This is me, married with kids. I'm a people person although I may not show it with my facial expression. 

I grew up in the South Pacific, in the island of Tonga. I'm not surprised at all that most people here in the States don't have the slightest idea where Tonga is located. Ah, not fair because I maybe an island girl but I had to learn about the geography of the world and that includes every countries on the face of the earth.

I live my life everyday as if it's the my last day. If you ask me why? It's a very logical answer - That way I won't have time to complain, to judge, to stay mad, to gossip, or to waste my times. I'm not saying that I have not done all of the above but it's a lesson learned. It is a daily struggle and a battle but thinking of all the treasures hidden over yonder. I cannot wait to lay sight on them and to claim what is rightfully mine if I'll be successful in this battle.

This week has been an emotional one. I heard that the man I've always known to be my dad refutes that I am his. Basically, I belong to somebody else and in no way related to him. 
Seriously! My mother was married to the man in my birth certificate at the time of my birth. Rarely, was this man ever came around because he was a sailor man. End of story. I got stuck in a marital affair with two fathers and a mother who never spoke to me about it. I was left to decide for my own and while I did that, my bf (biological father) moved and my bc (birth certificate) dad moved away and even out of the country. So I was basically raised by my b.dad and did not get to meet my bc dad until i was 28 years of age.
As of today, I have so much to do to make for the lost times with my Saviour. I have been trying to do my best to assist  my dad and with the hardship in the economy these days. I don't send him $$ as much as I want. THIS IS WHY! I don't send a lot of money, i'm not his daughter anymore. Can you believe that?
The only comfort I have is my GOD. I turn to him and HIM only because he is the best listener. These days, everybody talks and nobody listens. My God is willing to listen and assist at the best possible time. 
Never have I thought of my father doing such a thing to me and I don't hate him. I just remember that "everybody else will fail you, even your parents but not your God".

to be continued........

Through It All

This is my daughter, Ana. This cute picture was taken while we were on the road looking for all the Goodwill Stores in my area, yes to shop!

I watched her constantly as we drove all around town to see if she was gonna throw a fit because she's not used to going out. But one thing that I saw that day.....the peaceful look on her face, managing to sleep  through regardless of the noise from the traffic and how uncomfortable her seat was.
I learned that PEACE DOESN'T MEAN TO BE IN A PLACE WITH NO NOISE, TROUBLE, OR HARD WORK. PEACE IS BEING IN THE MIDST OF THOSE THINGS AND STILL BE CALM AND STILL IN YOUR HEART AND THOUGHT.

Small things we rarely look at and appreciate the lessons they have thought us just like the ants gathering foods in the summer storing them up for winter. And when winter comes, the ants have nothing to worry about because all is provided and cared for. I wish I can do more than I could now but in time and as times passed by, I know that I am grown to be the woman I am just by learning from all the small things in my life.

Hope that this message becomes yours to think and learn from.

Good Day to you all
