#162 - raindrop prelude

so it started raining and everything looked really nice from the outside, i just couldn't resist snapping some pics... hehe
anyways, just wanted to say, i have accomplished 2 august goals!! i'm sort of failing the "do more housework" part though... i'm so lazy i haven't even made my bed yet and it's 5 PM. went to my cousin's new house in carlo on friday, and it was so big and prettiful *jealous* i think i'm staying over there for 1 week in the xmas hols. anyways, i have currently typed only 752 words for the HIP, i'm hoping that it's not descriptive when i show it to stormy tomorrow.... otherwise i wasted my whole day yesterday. gahhhhhh, i don't understand my own thesis!!! the only fun thing about it is the footnoting
also, on friday - we did a dilution prac on potassium permanganate. the pipette thingy was so difficult to use too. but i just have to show off the prettiness of the permanganate - the far right one is the original one, and look at the dilutions it's undergone, the colours are soooooo pretty! probably the best prac i've done so far =D



masterchef final tonight =O i'm rooting for no one.

#161- Coincidences

wow it has nearly been a week since i last posted ....(runs to the corner) and no this blog isn't dead but rather i've been dead )x
anyhow back unto the title of this blog....hmmmmmmmmm

---
i'm not a fan of coincidences especially when they involve batter and a certain someone (you know who you are). it's almost always planned except for those rare occasions. so in order for you all to understand this 'coincidence', you must understand that batter constantly reminds me that i have this look-alike in the grade below (i think not! but that's another story altogether). so yesterday i was walking from the canteen with better, batter and that someone and well i saw my look-alike (i dont know what else to call her >< ). she had the exact same hair style as me o.O but no one else noticed......
end of storytime

rice is soon but it's only rally this time so i cant go. my itunes is weird- i added the song from the rice promo vid and it says that the duration is 25 minutes long which isnt possible and windows media player clearly says that its only 4 minutes long. (sigh- it took me forever to explain something just like my english essay, not good )

note: this is really rushed so if you read this then i have not edited it

#160 - =]

friday: wrote realistic goals for the first time in my life. i'm determined to get at least 85% of them done.

saturday: the earliest i have ever gotten up on a saturday in a loooooong time, maybe in 3 years? woke up at 9.30! walked from st james to central, then back to st james, then central (because i was such a lost cause) for hsc books (and glorious window shopping of course). got a 25% discount for textbooks because dymocks was closing down. good for me, bad for them =D ah such a lovely day, i like city life.

sunday: the rocks aroma festival 2011.... i wanted to go to.

but i woke up at 2 pm to make up for my beloved lost sleep on saturday T^T if next year i get my act together and reduce procrastinating time a lot, even if it's the week before trials, I'M GOING. the perfect de-stressing activity. i.will.go. the food looks delish. and the aroma of coffee from everywhere. damn. i missed on a lot. just to memorise the legal essay - which took only 1 1/2 hour to memorise and 20+ hours to write. and merlin season finale - sooo good. colin morgan and bradley james make me a very happy person - today i was browsing through girrablogs and i saw a girl write on her HIP entry, "MERLIN- For all the nights I wasted watching MERLIN instead of researching for the HIP… Thank you!!! I’d do it all again!!Bradley James- Your beautiful, manly, upper anatomy amazes me… Thank you for all the shirtless scenes!! You’re an angel sculpted by God himself…. If I actually believed in God…" ahhh so true, the coincidence, i couldn't agree more because i am procrastinating the HIP...100 words done, 1900 left. and i have to hand it in 2 weeks. and it's a 3 month project. noooooooooooooo i hate argumentative essays >( also had a huge spring cleaning in my room. looks beautiful after 2 very tiring hours =]

monday: 45 minutes to write. i can write 1050-1100 words in 35 minutes, albeit a tad ugly and difficult to read, and accompanied by very cramped arms. it IS possible. but yeah i know, quality > quantity. meh. i had great info... hopefully it's argumentative. i find it really difficult to tell the difference between describing and arguing because my reasons for my argument are essentially descriptions? i dunno, it's just the way i work... and contact. funny how just a little bit of it makes you feel ... quite happy? =D and today i saw a woman get stuck in the gap between the station and the train at granville - so scary. a scream of pure fear. and then luckily there were 2 very fast thinking guys and they grabbed her up. everyone was like... O.o wow.

#159- Update

Things happen, sometimes you just have to stop, pray and hope for the best.
i think this shall be a short post, so thanks for all the messages everyone esp happy apple. your card was so nice and i felt so loved so thank you happy apple =D (i think i shall stop dieting for a while now)

highlight of this week: stealing my bro's most prized possession (aka ThuvLuv's pen) and surprisingly im not upset with school. although there are upcoming assessments i'm not too stressed so maybe that's a good sign
quick quotes to end this post:

"Nightmares will lead you to pain and suffering but you will be awake once more and gain peace to cleanse your fear" 

"Do not seek the answers that cannot be given to you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer."

俺ら、頑張ってさ、夢追っていこうぜ。最後の最後まで、諦めないで。

#158 - i'll say my piece/

lots of stuff happened today. firstly, sadness. seeing people who seem emotionally detached cry makes you want to cry too. but it's nice to know we have support.

secondly, i had my first free and 2u class today! :) i like frees. damn you keely for telling me to go room 40, too mean ==" i'm a bit disappointed people really do waste the frees... unfortunately we have frees at the same time as (very disruptive) year 12s >.> best things about the free was 1/ i popped my very smug face around my old class to smirk and saw people groaning about the boring and long double period, muahaha (: and 2/ i actually did not waste the free! :3

german exchange students! =D their english is soooo good. and i'm currently envying their ridiculously good genes. and chasing them secretly x)

and i cannot emphasise how much i agree with this.

# 157- Untitled v2

okay so it's been a while...again, and as always i seem to conjure up an excuse for my absence ^^
but seriously, this time i've been a really good kid. how? well i've finished phys prac and extension presentation- time to rehearse it!
----
so after rehearsing it, what else is there to do? rehearse it more? it's kinda hard when you're partner is gone. i hope tmr works out well, like the transition between the different parts of our presentation and hopefully the video i made isnt that bad. sigh, time to volunteer to go first!

on another note, it's not raining anymore ): i shall miss the wednesday study sesh and i actually got work done last time. looking forward to elisa's masterfood themed party except that means i need to lose weight and do we have to dress accordingly?

shall leave you all with a photo of my cool balloon that better gave me- thanks a million! oh and the other person in the photo is tracy, i think she has joined the blazer crowd

#156 - a new chapter.

photo: the story begins

so here we are. the end of a chapter, and the beginning of another in this life.

i liked today. despite most of the teachers droning on about the last term of prelim. slightly daunting... i don't want next term to arrive. however, i saw my fellow amigos =D t'was nice. it was quite funny when mr p was enthusiastically talking and then - a testepop. i never knew people in their late fifties could get testepops until mr p, hahaha ^^

and the rain!. i really feel free when i walk in the rain, sharing an umbrella with a good friend, even though my bag gets wet (:

let the rain come down, make a brand new ground, let the rain come down tonight - sara bareilles

also yesterday i went to state library again with zoe. everytime i go, i am so productive. i loved upstairs. thanks zoe for discovering such an awesome place =D <3 they had the sydney morning herald photos 1440 exhibition there - all the photos were so beautiful and thought provoking. there was a really good one that won first prize in world press. the story behind it really... gets a reaction from people who read it. i'm about to go and rant and rage about why women are still treated like crap everywhere, but it's not really going to get anywhere and not going to change anything so i won't say more. you be the judge.

on a brighter note, j. and i have amazingly similar minds on trains.
*cute looking stranger gets on train*
-we both stop talking and stare idiotically for a few seconds and then turn to look at each other-
"zomg did you think he was cute?!" / "zomg his smile is so nice! =D" -melt-
"yeahh!! and i was just thinking that!"
we're both wallowing in shallowness >=]

and also: masterchef - wtf. why are people with no talent still in the competition?!! billy :( :( i hate all the women in the competition, and that's saying something, because i am a huge feminist. but those women - arghh they piss me off. all they do is cry and weep their way and the judges just don't judge properly because they're sympathetic. such a joke.
