For those of you who dont know...
Talofa is a hello for the Samoan people. Not to be confused with Hawaiians ALOHA you definitely do NOT say ALOHA to a Samoan to say goodbye as well... well not unless you want the patent pending "STUPID LOOK"
Having clarified that...
TALOFA EVERYONE!!
...and being Samoan I KNOW that inquiring minds want to know who I am what family im from where i live what i weigh what color my hair is if my crap stinks and the like...
I am a 50-something in the Bay Area - currently residing on the peninsula. I have children but who they are is none of your business people! eeesh!

About Me
- Teine Samoa

- I am me. I am a teine samoa through and through for you who do not understand the "gagana" or "language" I am woman of Samoa. A daughter of the Samoan islands. "Teine" is Samoan for "girl or woman". I refer to myself as Teine Samoa to respect my culture and especially my family in keeping mums the word on the last name eh! LOL Samoans everywhere if they are at least one generation connected to the island they can tell you, the family name is EVERYTHING! So... Teine Samoa I shall be :-)
LOVE IT!
