| 4 Aug 03 The trials start tomorrow and end on the 15th for some people. I finish two days after tomorrow (Thursday) because I�m only doing Retail (exam�s tomorrow) and Maths (exam�s on Thursday) for the rest of the year. I was so damn convinced that I�d leave and well, naturally, I neglected most of my school work for like a week and a bit. lol. It was nice to know that I�m going to stay because hey, *inserts sarcastic tone* catching up on my school work is so bloody convenient these days! It�s especially ten times easier when I�ve got an exam in less than a weeks time! Oh I do love it! All I want is to add to the a**-kicking stress I�ve already been under while trying to decide whether I should leave or not! -_^ Ah hmm� right� *rolls eyes* well then� *clears throat* I�m good� Uh, so yeah, anyways, American Pie: The Wedding is releasing this Thursday. Been looking forward to that�sort of. lol. Okay, so BtVS is finishing up in like two episodes�tonight�s and next Monday night�and Alyson Hannigan being in American Pie sort of made me� *sobs* I can�t believe BtVS is finishing! My god it�s so close� *shakes head and sighs* It�s so buggin� me right now because� I mean, how can you just end a show that�s as good as this one and satisfy yourself [as the creator, crew and actor/actress] and the immense amount of devoted fans of the show and everything that�s tied to it?! I just hope I don�t go �OMG, 9 years of watching this show and the 'Truth' made me sink into uncontrollable denial followed by mass amounts of eye-rolling, you stupid m�!� because then that would be such a damn friggen� waste. Shame. Shame. For those of you who don�t know what I was referring to, it was the absolute finale of The X-Files. I probably should have watched the ending a bit more than I did because the �mass amounts of eye-rolling� really didn�t help� :-� *yawn* Oh time passes by when your� tired. I guess I better take a shower and if possible, take a nap until dinner time (it�s like 4:26pm right now) to prepare me for BtVS tonight and the rest of my revision for the Retail exam tomorrow. Ack� bloody tiring. BTW, thank god they changed the start time for our exams to like 8:25am as opposed to the previous 8:20am! I hate coming late. lol. Hey, 5 minutes makes A LOT of difference! ;-) 5 Aug 03 12:45pm�feeling a little bloated for reasons which I won�t bother to gripe about *sniff sniff*. I�m so tired but dear god BtVS was good last night! Everything�s happening so fast but dear god it was good last night! By the end of the episode I was gasping and my hands were gripping each other like there was no tomorrow. There was such suspense and it�s killing me to wait a week for the final episode to air! Arghhh! *takes a deep breath* Ohhh it�s so good right now *waves hands excitedly* I just can�t wait and still can�t believe it�s ending. >_< *sniff sniff* BTW I loved the wheelchair fight that Anya and Andrew were battling it out at! So cracked me up *giggle* I think I heard them ko-oey as well! lol. 4:03pm�well I called the Fairfield Museum (?) today to ask if there were any places left to attend the Graffiti workshop they�re holding for the next four weeks. As luck would have it, they�re booked out. I really would have liked to go even though Kay only told me yesterday :-| Man this sucks� 4:12pm�tehehe� oh me� *giggle* I�m going to the workshop afterall. There�s like already 13 people going to the Smithfield one and they said that they can�t take anymore but she�s letting me go! I felt like such a dope calling up a second time to ask for the number of the other places these workshops are held. I was gonna like try to call the other venues up and see if they have space for three as I might be able to get Jaq and Kay to come with me to that venue instead of the Smithfield one. *sigh of relief* But cool. lol. Powers of persuasion huh? =) I just saw the commercial for the Mitchum deodorant recently. I didn�t get to see the whole commercial but I saw what I thought might be worth a mention anyway: man with bio holding a baby. Just as he pulls the baby closer, the baby starts to cry so he pulls back and the baby stops. He did that for like 3 or so times until the commercial ended. It gave me a giggle. =) Kissing can be a pain in the a** if you�ve got a blocked nose. Breather anyone?! There�s like these two people kissing on a park bench going hard at it�we even hear some romantic music in the background�when suddenly the guy slithers onto the ground and the girl�s all confused at what the hell just happened. Such an ingenious commercial for Vicks Vapodrops! Everyone in Australia has got to have heard the jingle/song for Franklins by now but lately it�s been pissing me off more and more! Seeing it on TV makes it even worse. My god man, annoying and so fake. Smiles and helpfulness and fakeness ev-er-y-where. As if they�re like that all the time and in doing that, it further insults the intelligence of us as the consumers! We�re not that dumb to think that because of an overly bias commercial we�d shop at Franklins for the very reason that is depicted in that commercial. The jingle/song they have is even worse than seeing all those �actors� and �actresses�. Not saying that I have the best [or whatever] voice when I sing, but like that guy who sings for the Franklin jingle needs a heads up on how to not sound dead or forced to sing what he�s singing! I mean seriously� Big no no. >_< � 8 Aug 03 My grandfather�the only one I have left�just died within the present hour. I don�t really know how I feel right now. I just� maybe it hasn�t sunk in yet. I�m not crying or anything, like I did when I found out that one of my aunt�s and uncle died. I dunno� He fell down the cement stairs and his head bled. He could barely walk (he has a walking stick) but just likes to get out and about. Usually the door to the backyard would be locked but� I was at the hospital last night with my parents, grandmother (grandfather�s wife) aunt and uncle, another aunt and my cousin and her family. I guess I�m glad I didn�t decide to stay home and watch my weekly shows because I felt a little more ease, knowing what�s happening. Maybe that�s why I don�t feel so� I mean, my aunt and uncle�s death was such a shock because I was trying to enjoy myself in Melbourne for the week and I wasn�t even in the same state when it happened. I didn�t know my uncle was in hospital again and I told my dad the night my uncle died that I�d have to visit my aunt when I get back because I know that he death is also near. Of course, I didn�t mean �visit� her in a coffin� We came back home around 9:30ish and waited for any further calls that we might get because my grandfather was in a critical state and because he fell on the same spot he hit two times before, they might have been worried that he�d have internal bleeding. They moved him to Liverpool Hospital to get his head scanned and around 11 or something, we got a call saying that there�s nothing they can do for him anymore. I think my dad went to the hospital (I was sleeping so I�m not sure) after that and didn�t return until like 2:30 or something in the morning. I was up until around that time making sure my eBay item was still a winning one and email them and stuff so I pretty much went into a deep sleep until the phone first rang around 9:30am I think it was and I was late to pick up. The caller (which I just found out was my uncle) didn�t leave a message so yeah, around 10:10am my cousin called to ask where my father was and told me of his death so� it was a long night for all of us but especially for those who stayed with him for the night. *sigh* I�m just� maybe I�ll type more later. 16 Aug 03 So I�m not going to the graffiti workshop today� *rolls eyes* Had this stir with my parents. I�m thinkin� that my grandfather�s death is a contributing factor to this� tension. Just when I�m not in complete and utter awe about family deaths, my parents get the jeeves. Annoying. But I�m still unsure of why I�m not going to the workshop though. lol. To piss them off because I was pissed? Gneh� possibly. lol. Gonna miss out on like 2 hours of valuable spray painting and much collaboration on the fact that I don�t do characters in my artworks. After that vamp one� it pains me to see myself go through that, and the final out-of-proportions character again. =� So yeah, my grandfather�s funeral was held at an Anglican church on Tuesday morning. I didn�t cry as much as I did for the passing of my aunt but it doesn�t mean that I loved him any less. The thing that I�ll never forget though, are the �costumes� that we had to wear. Tehehe� it was a cross between a ninja look and the look of the KKK! I�m only saying it because it�s true! The only thing was that the headwear didn�t cover our entire face and didn�t have two peep-holes cut out into the front, just the head part was covered. It even had the spikey part on top of our heads. It was definitely an experience to remember� At least I wasn�t the only fem to be in that costume. Tehehe� can�t wait to see the photos! The guys were so lucky to wear a bandana as opposed to what we wore. It looked so cool. lol. Plus, people weren�t exactly staring at them as much when we rode past in a hired coach. :-| The service at the church was er� preachish. The priest kinda went overboard with the whole Jesus thing� especially since this was a service in respect for our grandfather. *sigh* But I swear he was trying to recruit extra �believers� to the church and used this funeral service as an opportunity to do so. Like after the burial at the cemetery, my cousins (who are teens) and I were eating lunch and everything and just as I was about to throw something in the bin, the Rev. approached us (I was about to leave so technically it would be them�my cousins) and started telling them that they had a teen program at the church that they could join. Me�being me�left them to the Rev. with a smirk on my face as I walked away. =D lol. I have yet to ask about how it was. Tehehe� I hate it when I think it�s going to rain and as soon as I finish pulling down the washing, the sun suddenly peeps out behind the dark rain clouds. I hate it even more when I finish re-putting up the washing on an indoor line, then the sun suddenly peeps out behind the dark rain clouds. Oh I�m friggen� peeved! >:-( 26 Aug 03 Oh boy, I have a feeling this will not be the last of this line of unfortunate events! Just got a call from my aunt (it�s on my mum�s side this time) and found out that my grandmother fell and broke her arm. She�s fine but you know, she�s getting old�and broken arm. She�s at home now (just came back from the hospital) so it�s good to know that it wasn�t life threatening or the alike, so like cool. But bloody pick on another family, ya know! Sheesh! Haven�t been updating my Blog for a while aye. I wouldn�t say that I�ve been as busy as everyone else in my grade, especially if they had a Major Project due! It was so uncompfy seeing everyone work their butts off to finish it. I would have been the exact same position if it weren�t for what I�ve been through. That�d be me next year though. Gneh� *rolls eyes* Uh oh, I think I have to go for now�something to do with visiting my grandma tonight� toodles. 27 Aug 03 It�s been like a week since I first got the forms to sign out of my other subjects (English, D&T, ITG) to which I�m picking up next year and I�ve only just finished those today�now I gotta like do the same thing with the subject I�m picking up again (T&D)! You know how friggen� long it�s taken me to like get all those signatures! So hard to like find those teachers and stuff. Yeesh! |
