Samoa Flag
This is the story behind the Samoan flag, please read the following..... Have you ever wondered that the five stars on the Samoa flag symbolizes the moonlight, and the colors date back to the 19th century. Water, hope and the moonlight shining at night, is the meaning of the blue color on the Samoan flag, and the red represents the land and blood.

There I was running out the door as fast as I can go, trying to race to my mum because she was going to leave me and go to Rainbows end and leave me at home by my self until she stopped at the driveway this time she stopped and waited for me to come with her YES!!! I shouted and said shame shame I caught up with you.When we got there I was excited because the first ride I wanted to go on was the invader Ahhhhhhh I was yelling through out the whole ride but it was still fun, the best ride I was enjoying through the whole day was the roller coaster with my mum, all the way at the back while I was in the front screaming until I lost my voice.Once we rode most of the rides we went out for dinner on Sunday because it was my Mums Birthday on that day it was very cool because we went to Valentines and we got to pick out any food we wanted. It was stink because it was getting dark and we had to go home and opened my mums presents that she got from our family members and friend from her job

The five stars represent the moonlight and the colours date back to the 19th century which mean blue= water and hope red= land and blood.Independent Samoans are very tradition-oriented, very steeped in a complex set of social hierarchies, courtesies and customs that regulate their social, religious and political life. Independent Samoan culture is based onfa'amatai, a system of government that has a chief, or matai, governing an entire aigaor extended family. Wealth and food are distributed on a needs basis and honour and social standing is shared or shouldered equally by all members of the aiga. The matai represents the family on the village council, metes out justice, and makes sure that all customs are properly observed. In fact Independent Samoa has more rules of etiquette than a finishing school for young ladies and a keen sense of propriety and respect. Thematai is also a living archive, responsible for remembering the ancient folk lore, the family genealogies, and the stories of the old gods, and passing them onto his successor.The seal of the territory of American Samoa is based in traditional local design. Thefue or the fly switch, represents wisdom, while the To'oto'o or staff represents authority. Both symbols are used by talking chiefs indicating their rank. The Tanoa (kava bowl) represents service to the chief.The Samoan motto Samoa Muamua Le Atua is translated “Samoa, Let God Be First”.

In Saturday my Cousin came over because my mum was having a family birthday party at valentines restaurant in Pakuranga,I was so excited because me and my cousin Carlos brought his Playstation 3 over so we could play all his Games like Call of duty Black ops and Super street fighter 4 with 2 controllers and his rugby world cup Game playing all those games were heaps of fun even though I kept beating him. It was funny because my cousin was always getting angry and when I was beating him at Call of duty he would call me a cheater and I would say no you just stink at this game and I hardly played it.The next day we went to bed because we were going to wake up early and go to rainbows end but the ride I was hoping to go on was the bumper cars the invader and the night roller coaster my cousin was scared beacause he has never done it before even with the invader.YES!!!!!

My personal project
Being adopted in 1971, the flag of Namibia consists of diagonal disposed colour stripes that are taken from SWAPO, a Namibian movement for the liberation of the people and the democratic Namibian party.Main facts and history of Namibia flag are that this flag has a wide nationally accepted significance: blue represents the clear sky and the water resources, green stands for agriculture, red is the symbol of Namibian people and finally, white is the colour of peace. Besides the colour stripes, there is another symbol on the Namibian flag: the sun that represents the energy power and life.The National Flag is a symbol of our struggle for national unity.
The Legislative Assembly, consisting of all political forces of the country, passed on 9 November, 1990 unanimously Namibia's democratic constitution. It grants the citizens comprehensive civil rights and the equality of all Namibians before the law, which marked the biggest progress compared to the past. Also freedom of speech, religion, assembly and association, protection of privacy and personal property as well as the right to freedom and physical integrity were legally established. Politically, Namibia became a secular presidential democracy with a multi-party system and the classical division of powers between the legislative, executive and jurisdictional bodies.
