^.^ I didnt get a chance to blog after dancing and I probably should have since I had time and it feels like a milion things have happened since then
After I finished that post yesterday I got ready and walked to the bus which is a 30min walk and i was half way there when I see my dog runn past me =.= this = BAD my dog is not trained..at all, and we're new to the neighbourhood...gah very stressful. i called my mum, i didnt know what to do..we were too far from home to go get the lesh. I was too scared that if i stopped following I would loose him and he would get lost and never come back =.= so i followed and eventually he started heading back. but not without going into a bunch of my neighbours bakyards including a good 5minutes in a house maybe 2 down from mine. god that was shit...this whole viet family was in their backyard screaming and running into the house to hide and the father is yelling at me repeating he was going to call the cops over and over again while im trying to get Bobby to stop chasing their rabbit and maddly running around the backyard. For those of u who dont know me I DONT RUN =.= it was bloody hot too...oh and my dogs a german shephard..completely harmless..to humans at least but u know...most people find them intimidating...anyway eventually he got bored and i had to chase him into another backyard =.=
By the end of all that I had missed the bus so I asked michelle if she could pick me up on the way to dancing. We were like 40mins late haha but it was okay I dont think we missed much. It was really good, I sweat heaps haha..we have a performance in a MONTH...eep but good stuf =] one of the girls offered me and michelle a chance to dance on a float at mardi gras so we snapped it up XD hopefully it all turns out coz she needs to double check with the coordinator. Its wolf/latin themed lol So think Shakira She wolf =] colour theme is red and yellow...geh which means id need to buy something so they better get back to us soon.
Kurt and I didnt end up going to Fair Day or The Bank coz he was too sick and we both would rather save up for thursday at hot damn for lahoods ^.^ so instead mum picked him up around 11pm and he stayed the night. To sum up our night: hiding behind feathers, playing taboo, snack packs, abba singstar, ZUMBA and house =]
eeeeeeheheh I LOVE ZUMBA omg best at home workout thingo EVER. once im done with this blog im going to go do it again. its soooo much fun plus u actually learn the steps eehehe XD Seriously by the end of it i was literally dripping in sweat, quite gross really =] it was pooling in my colar bones ahahaha
OHH let me gross u out some more:
heeeee =]
oh and i forgot i have one more pic LOL of the hideous skirts we have to practice the dances in..but lol its MICHELLE <3
hehe
As for today, i woke up b4 kurt n played uncharted 2 until my butt went numb and then got pins and needles LOL..so HA! Tim cant say im not trying =] but its geting better lol i got all excited when i finally figured out in which order to knock out the guards without being seen XD When kurt left around 3 i had a good nap and then went with mumsy to get petrol. Then was visited by mikey who came bearing pasta but when she got there i served myself some and tim n uly came to get me so i wolfed it down n left. We went to ryans to pick up something for uly (ryan lives right near dancing ^.^) and then dropped uly of home n watched most of Fight club back at tims. It was a nice arvo =] But i reallllly liked fightclub, i want to finish it soooon. its not the same wathing a movie in two parts =[ oh wells..it better have a good ending!
anyway gosh its hot.. time to see if mum will let me use the computer in my room so i can ZUMBA XD
So one day I was hanging out with Kurt and we realised that there are some pretty wacky sayings in the spanish language.
Each Spanish speaking country has their own sayings, metaphors and similies but these are a few that I have collected over the last year or so.
Every time I hear my mum or grandma say a new one I text Kurt XD It has become somewhat of a little tradition for me now =]
Saying: La negrita astuta vende fruta.
Direct Translation: The (Astute, cunning, sly, crafty, fraudulent) cute/little black girl sells fruit.
Meaning: This saying is said as a sort of warning that you are/someone else is a cocktease
Saying: No calientes el agua (si no vas a tomar té)
Direct Translation: Don't heat the water if you're not going to drink tea
Meaning: This is also a sort of warning to someone who is being a cocktease. Kind of like, don't flirt and lead someone on if you have no intention of hooking up with them. It is also a play on words because in Spanish (Chilean at least) the word calentar (to heat) is also used informally as a way to say 'make horny'. So 'estoy caliente' = I'm hot BUT it means I'm horny. If you wanted to say I'm hot (because of the weather) you would say 'tengo calor'
Tongue Twister: Tres tristes tigres trigo trillaron tranquilos tragaron
Translation: Three sad tigers, wheat they threshed (To separate the grain from the straw or husks by mechanical beating), calmly they swallowed.
Tongue Twister:Pedro Pablo Pérez Pereira pobre pintor portugués pinta paisajes por poca plata para pasar por París
Translation: Pedro Pablo Pérez Pereira poor Portugese painter paints landscapes for little money to pass through Paris.
Saying:Buscarle la quinta pata al gato
Direct Translation:To look for the 5th leg of the cat
Meaning: Looking for problems when there clearly aren't any in that situation, so you're over thinking it and overcomplicating yourself.
Saying: Para ser bella hay que ver estrellas
Direct Translation: To be beautiful you have to see stars
Meaning: I'm guessing this is a fairly old saying because my grandad said it to me once, I kind of fell in love with this little rhyme/mantra. It means that no pain is too great to endure in order to look your best, this particularly refers to women having to wear painful shoes (stilettos) because it makes their legs look hot, wearing tight clothing to show off curves, waxing, plucking, dying hair, and I suppose nowadays you could extend that into getting cosmetic surgery. Just to clarify, my grandad wasn't a dick, I remember the saying coming up because we were watching a show with really attractive women and I was in awe of them and he explained that constructed superficial beauty comes at a price =) Oh and if you don't get the imagery, it's based on seeing "stars" when you hit your head/get dizzy, like if you've ever seen the cartoon representation of stars around the head when they get hit.
*To be continued
