Senior year is probably the only time you'll want to do something to make memorable memories before graduating; some will join clubs while others will join sports as their last days in High School. Growing up on an island, I have heard many times the usual sports-related topics of conversation most people want to join; examples Football, Soccer, Baseball, Basketball, etc... These are the ideal sports many people want to play. With those in mind, I decided that I would relive a game I used to play when I was younger, 'Tetherball', it may not be consider a sport but that doesn't mean I can't make it into an awesome game. However to do that, I'll need participants and a game plan. It all began when it started out as a club, we weren't underdogs or anything, we sure as hell weren't outcasts. We were just a bunch of students from different worlds who wanted to participate in something else for a change, and tetherball was it. On this magical, but dangerous island we call Poly, Tetherball became a new sight as it began to make its way to the big leagues. But, will Tetherball make it to the big leagues or will it be buried with dust? Guess will have to find out. #Justwriteit #Sports

Long time ago all the islands lived together by water happily and King Aitoarri and Queen Kalasia proudly ruled over the islands. As time went by famine came to all of the islands and all the Polynesian and Melanesian leaders came together to discuss the problem. PNG wanted to leave and find new lands but the Polynesian tribe did not agree. But the Melanesian Islands did. They argued and The King was angry and just let the Melanesians tribes go but was banished from coming back or they will settle it by war. As the Melanesians leaders were desperate to find land they did not find anywhere to settle. They came back to their old islands but it was guarded with Tongans and Tahiti soldiers. The Melanesian leaders were anger by how the Polynesian tribes and King turned against them and and their own home. They went back to find a new home and managed to stay there with all 6 nations and is planning to seek revenge on what the Polynesian nations have done.....

I have met my always. It has changed my life and I would never forget how we met. The feeling, the emotion.. let me tell you how it was and how it is.

This is not just a story of a 26-year-old girl living alone in Dubai. It is the story of a journey that began long before the suitcase was packed, the flight was taken, and the new city became home. It began the moment I realized life would not be as easy as it once seemed. Maybe it started the day my father had a heart attack, and we went from having everything to having nothing. From spending half a million rupees on trips and comforts, to not even having 49 rupees for a reload card. From full tables to empty hands. That was the moment I told myself: You are a girl, but you must be strong. Or maybe it started even before then. Maybe it started the day I was born into a house that was never truly a home. A place filled with fights, arguments, and unspoken wounds. A place where I had to grow up faster than my age demanded, where I became my mother's backbone, the quiet strength she leaned on, even as I carried my own silent struggles. I was the only child in that house, but never truly the only child. I had stepbrothers, a stepsister, fragmented families, and broken pieces that shaped who I became. Still, nobody asked how I was. Nobody wondered what I carried inside. And I learned to keep it in because I was told not to speak, not to share, not to give others a reason to laugh at my pain. But here, in these pages, I will speak. Not with names or identities, but with truths. Because behind every closed door, behind every smile that hides the scars, there is someone like me. And maybe by telling this story, I will also be telling yours. This is my journey. The one I never speak out loud.

How do you know when someone likes you? You know when they don't flirt with ya in a way that makes ya think they're tryna get in your pants, but compliments ya and makes ya smile all the time with what they say. When their day is brighter cause they've just brightened yours just by saying hello. When they become protective and wanna make sure your happy ahem..

In order to tell youse me and Samuel's love story I'm gonna have to take youse back in time. So fasten your seat belts and enjoy the ride ;)

Fearless love is doing what's right for our loved ones no matter cost; Fearless love is how pop and Nena raised 11 children in the poorest part of Tonga; Fearless love is how mum and dad risked everything to settle into a new country like Australia; Fearless love is how my little brother went up against a local gang in the wake of my oldest brother's murder; Fearless love is what drove me to protect him- almost costing me my own life; Fearless love is how I eventually learnt to trust and lower my defences, all to say yes to LOVE. *** Copyright © 2015 by LadyNox.

How could Cheetos make me lost at sea.

What kind of place is this? The girl finds herself in the darkness all by herself. There's no lamka, she looks around, and why are the trees aren't marked? Her memory is hazy. In front of her, a man with silver hair stares at her. He must be one of those Terros people, she thinks to herself. "It's alright, you don't have to say anything." He said. "One step at a time."
