A Phoenix woman apparently wanted a little cuddle time after having sex with a man at the apartment of 19-year-old Paul Katoa over the weekend. The friend, Andrew McConnell, however, just got up and left the room -- which caused her to return to the apartment with a friend carrying a gun, resulting in the fatal shooting of Katoa.

-Okay, so this is just WEIRD! Never have I ever heard about killing just because of a "hit it and quit it" situation. Meaning just like what the guy did in the accident, a person would have intimate sex with an inidividual then after that they will leave and never contact that person again. To me a lot of people especially guys in our generation do it. Its not a good thing, but i guess to them its pretty cool. SMH. It say's that apparently the guy of the apartment, Paul Katoa was killed in the scene. It's sad to know because I see that he is a Pacific Islander. I guess we choose to hang with the wrong crowd, we end up having parties and ect. and moswt of the time it will lead to a fight or a shooting. I just hope these two get what they reserve, and that the Katoa family gets some closure from their son's death.

-WOW! Two events within one week happened in our community. This is so rare especially around our community. Im used to it being so quit and nothing bad ever happens over here. It really shocked me that three people has died. Its really a tragic. I remember yesterday evening I happened to drive by and I seen all the bystanders, the police blocking the entrance and I wondered what happened. I wanted to stop and be nosy, but I didn't want the police to stop me or anything so I just came home and watched the news to see what happend. I don't know it just really shocked me and I hope nothing like this ever happens again.

-I did not know about this until one of my aunts who live in the same apartment complex had called my grandma and told her. I was highly shocked and surprised that such a thing like this has happened in our neighborhood. I live like atleast ten blocks away from where this happened, but its still close and it alarms me now. It surprises me the most because La-Sierra area is very quite and peaceful. Hardly anything really happens around here and that's why i like it. When I heard about this honestly it scared me. Now we have to double check on locking our windows and what not, and keeping a closer eye on my little cousins who stay with me. Not only is this affecting us but also iour llittle community because Valley View Elementry is right down the street, and who knows he might struck again. At this point we just got to watch closely and make sure everything around us is safe. Its really scarry especially because he got away.

TWITTER; Osama Bin-Ladin

-What does this picture say to you? (excuse the curse words)

OSAMA'S HIDEOUT

Relations between Pakistan and the West were under intense strain last night amid widespread incredulity at Islamabad’s claim that it knew nothing of Osama Bin Laden’s whereabouts.
Politicians and experts said it beggared belief that no one in Pakistan’s notorious intelligence service had any idea the terrorist leader was living in a vast, custom-built compound only 800 yards from the country’s military academy.
Critics said the circumstantial evidence suggested that instead, Bin Laden was effectively being housed under Pakistani state control

-WOW is all i can say. After all these years how can they not have known where Osama was? Right under their chins. For more then 5 years? How was this possible? This is just so crazy, BUT now he has been captured and now is dead.

Reflection (Immigration Discussion)

-Discussion on thursday was really good from my point of view. Everybodies key points,arguments, and everything was just good. But one thing I mainly disagreed on during the discussion was when some students kept saying "their taking our jobs." In my opinion I dont see any immigrants taking ANY jobs from citizens. Citizens have it more better at getting a REAL job. If taking a job means picking strawberries, working in the fields, construction working without a permit ect ect then i guess. But all of these are nothing compared to the much more better jobs out there. Many citizens who are actually legal sit at home and chill, while these illegal immigrants come to our country to find a life and cant even get a job at Mc.Donalds. Why do you think many women come to OUR counrtry and give birth to their children out here? So that their kids can have it good. Honestly, i have witneessed and experience many things that have been done to immigrants, and its not good at all. Immigrants come to our country because they think life will be better. It will be much better for them and it would be easy to provide for their families back in their homeland. My parent for example, both immigrants and they have been here for over 20 years. My father is STILL in the process of trying to get his green card, and i wonder why does it take SO long just to process this? It's just ridiculous. All in all I just hope ONE day, it will be MUCH easier for immigrants to live a good life, just like us LEGAL people.

Polynesian Tattoos

Polynesian tattoo's can be VERY painful getting it done. At time s it is a very long process to do, it takes a very skilled person to do a polynesian taat. The polynesian tat's look very very good' && everyone of them at least has a meaning to it. My plan is to get my first tribal tattoo after graduation. I've been itching to get one eversense iwas sixteen. In our culture (tongan) its a BAD sign for FEMALES in general to get a tattoo. But it does not stop us from getting it. Its not that we are going against our culture or what not, but because the tat's also represent who we are and what not. I chose to blog about this because I think its very unique, the way us polynesians have our tat's done. Its done in a different way and it is like i said before VERY painful. But all in all, in the end of the we will be satisfied with what we got.
Here is an example of a polynesian tattoo on a female. It is located on her leg. It shows the before and after.

Now my piece, I don't want it on my leg but on my back right shoulder. Here is my piece designed by my cousin. My design shows' the flowers on the bottom represent I am an island gurl, the turtle represent my family from the begininning, the 2 on the turtle's back represent me as one of the generation in the family, the tribals represent Im a polynesian and the  music notes shows my fame in music. This was designed by one of my talented cousin's and in my opinion, i think its REALLY nice. This piece will take a long time and the pain will be very painful. A piece like this will be up for $350. But the price won't stop me from getting what I want :)

This last one is a picture of my brothers recent tattoo. The name is my grandmothers' which I was named after as well. It also has tribal drawings on it to show that he too is a polynesian.
