I'm in such a good mood but I have no one to share it with =[
Tim's at work, everyone else is still hung over and I'm not going to see Joely for a few more hours. POOP and I missed the the dance picnic...which was fine coz i was too out of it to go but now Im good haha...
I woke up feeling sluggish and then made it worse by eating a shit-tonne of namnung and cadbury roses chocolates courtesy of Warren and Nat lol. Last night was really fun ♥ It was Nat's xmas party and the first time I hung out with everyone and Tim again since we broke up. I thought it might be awkward but it was totally fine AND another first: Tim and Kurt were both there and there were no dramas and I didn't feel split between the two which was great. I had a really good time, as usual I barely took ANY photos at all....but I do remember a lot of horrible pics being taken of me so I'm going to have to be on alert to untagg myself haha
I also kind of just...feel really good. The tafe thing is pretty much over, i don't have anything due for uni for another two weeks and there's a lot of activities leading up to xmas. I get to see joel tonight and things seem really good with tim for the first time in ages.
Anywho here are some of the few pics I got last night. I also got like an hour of footage of songae and Warren singing glee and disney songs haha but I won't be putting that up unless i get some basic editing software. Freaking windows movie maker doesn't work for shit, always freezes =.=
I'm also kind of excited, Joel want's to try doing The Dark Side of the Rainbow...sounds trippy despite it sounding a little bit like a load of crap... BUT why the hell NOT, that movie always scared the crap out of me and pink floyd and the dark side of the moon always creeped me out a little too. I shall let you know how it goes.
Ohhh it's raining, I'm going to go check it out. xx
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
