	Pacifica Whangarei conference	Il y a 139 jours
	"Thriller" isnt something you would expect at a pacifica womens conference but we did it, we paid tribute to michael jackson with a dance routine from thriller. it was awesome, plus our national president can SING, shes got a beauty voice and May from Whangarei, Woah, we were spoilt listening to these two divas, damn the fiafia night was the bomb! we all had a great time and are still buzzing about it even now. Were revived and re-energized thanks to a relaxing weekend away in Whangarei, the theme nutrition and organic living was timely especially with the reports about obesity coming out on the nz that we are the third fattest country in the world...well dah no surprise since we keep kfc making profit. thanks Whangarei for putting on a rockin mini conference, those who didnt go, you missed out. "Im starting with the man in the mirror" RIP MJ.

	SUPERCITY SELECT COMMITTEE	Il y a 147 jours
	Today we created history, Tamaki branch is the first branch of PACIFICA in thirty years to present before a parliamentary select committee. i remember when tim barnett was an mp and how he invited me to Parliament to tell me how concerned he was that Pacific people were not taking part in the select committee process. Well today marks the beginning, we should be in there every time there is legislation that affects our Pacific people! Today it was about the Government's proposal for the Auckland Council, or the Local Government (Auckland Council) Bill. We spoke today in support of the Maori seats as a way of moving forward Auckland must recognise Tagata whenua in the goverance structure, we spoke in support of eliminating the 8 at large seats in favour of 20 ward seats. At large seats means that we run the risk of only the wealthy running for the 8 seats resulting in akld being run by the rich. We spoke about the need for local boards to have real authority and how as PACIFICA we are about empowering and how this structure is disempowering because we believe it shifts power further up the ladder, further from grassroots communities. John Boscawen from the ACT party made a point though when he said that wouldnt it be better for Pacific people to run for one of the 8 "at large" seats, Pacific could be one of the tickets poltical parties run, good point but we stuck to our point about 20 ward seats to represent ward areas. We raised our concerns/fears that akld council will just focus on akld central city, waterfront as we are seeing with the rugby world cup, we emphasised that akld is not just akld central and we raised our fears that other areas of akld namely manukau and waitakere will lose their identities being melded into one auckland. we raised our concerns that other areas of akld will lose out because the focus will be on central city and not on the local needs of each area. we provided examples of where akld city has put profit before people i.e metrowater charitable payments, made profit of $14 million then $29 million the following year at the cost of akld city residents. we emphasised that profit should not be made on something that is a basic necessity of life and how in our communities in Tamaki which are in high poverty, increasing water rates hits us harder. we did well today, the select committee were respectful and listened to what we had to say. the challenge is for all our pacifica branches to speak out about issues affecting Pacific people in NZ, weve started in ours now its your turn. if you dont have your say you will never be heard. Congratulations Peta Mua and Maria Meredith of Tamaki branch, thanks to Evelyn, Jessie and Ruth for coming and supporting.

	training last night	Il y a 208 jours
	got to training half and hour late oops, went to wrong venue, anyways i felt like i need to have a run yesterday after eating lasagne topper, chips, chicken vogel sandwich and choc chip cookie for lunch. you can see i was trying to be good with the vogel sandwich and the rest was just bad habits, i wasnt even fufilled with the lunch. i was so glad i went to training, i honestly felt my arteries unclogging after jogging for five minutes because i was struggling to catch my breath. i followed trumaines advice, walk to one point, then jog, then walk then jog as a way of trying to get myself to a point where i can jog the whole block. in a way im glad its dark when we train because i felt myself jiggling all over the show while jogging. we did some circuit exercises at the back of annes place in fact its probably better because we have some lighting as its way to dark to use the park now. i had a good sleep last night, slept right through thanks to the training. my goal for today is to go for a one hour walk during lunch time so if you see me walking around manukau cbd dont stop and ask me for a ride last time i tried walking round here so many people thought i was walking because i had to, yes i know hard to believe i was actually walking voluntarily for some exercise. now i think sally is going to start emailing us about following the 15 point programme which will be great to get our food under control, just waiting for our secretary to buy some milk so i can have my cereal for brekky.

	Weight loss - Auckland Central branch project "Who needs a gym anyway"	Il y a 213 jours
	Yes well who needs a gym, when you have a wonderful trainer in Trumaine Brighouse and his beautiful co-trainer Chantal Choromanski. These two are professional trainers and are so committed to seeing us succeed in our personal goals, so much so that our goals have become their goals. Trumaine texts us a reminder before every training, so thats Monday and Friday every week never fail, a text to about twelve women twice a week, which shows 1. that he has a lot of credit on his phone and 2. he cares about us awwwww So its Friday night but no text well actually there was one asking if training was still on given that the national executive are meeting today and tomorrow which means we wont be training. apparently the duathalon that im supposed to be crawling through is on this weekend...ooops not in my diary so ill have to reschedule for next year hahahaha. cheers, i mean im not being negative here just realistic, even though its a real womens duathalon i still think its not something you can just jump in and do without proper preparation and training and to be honest i havent put in the hard yards yet to be able to even think about any kind of duathalon even weetbix kiwi kids level and anyways the real womens duathalon shirts only go up to size 3xl, whats up with that, if it was truly real womens duathalon then they could at least go up to 6xl then i could wear one as proof to my mother that i didnt just spend my morning with a bacon and egg mcmuffin combo with hot choc and a hotcakes combo with oj. back to the trainings, so yes its an awesome programme if done properly, the trainings are effective but the eating needs more attention. not sure how many of you watched tagata pasifika last night well they profiled the training programme, excellent coverage thank you Sandra Kailahi, so have a look at it on youtube or tvnzondemand, you will see us working out, already ive had a few "friends" tell me that they didnt see me running with group captured on the tv interview, now ill say it again that the group were the slow runners so i was leading the pack and really i didnt want to break my running well actually my sprinting so i broke away from the group, in fact i was just about the lap them. hmm nice interview alright now i really have to lose weight because its out there in the public view, one aunty asked me today, how long the programme has been running and whether i had lost any weight, i didnt have the heart or courage to say it had been running since end of december and not i hadnt lost any weight, so i just said its been going for a month alright enough from me, i was just wanting to promote the programme and congratulate Auckland Central branch in particular Anne Fitisemanu their president for this awesome project. thank you, malo lava.

	PACIFICA Auckland Central branch Breakfast	Il y a 541 jours
	What a lovely day it was today, although it started VERY early, like 6am still dark but you could feel the vibe was one of "BRING IT ON" amongst the women and the sprinkling of supportive men who turned up expecting big brekkies but were not briefed by their female counterparts on the actual topic of discussion. ahh all good. Well Sandra Kailahi and her team did it again, a wonderful event, everything was so well organised from the table settings, room decorations to the running of the morning. The walk was fun too, especially in the dark, it was like we werent too sure of the path we were on but we were all positive about the direction...hmm symbolic dont you think. Well the food was lovely, the singing started off by our very own Christina Tapu of Timeout branch to the music of the talented Natasha Urale Baker and her husband. What a treat it was today for a Saturday morning, Luamanuvao Winnie Laban was amazing, doing the walk and then giving her speech about her battle with breast cancer, she said its not a death sentence but a life sentence, a wake up call on diagnosis to live each day to the fullest. So everyone get checked, prevention is the best cure and live each day to the max!!! Thanks Akld Central for a great day, now im going to catch up on some sleep.
