Ello lovelies!

I hope you understood the the previous statement was meant to be read in a horrifically bad British accent.

Get ready for more regular posting, train posting! Or bus like I am now. Today is my first day if prac. The next 8 weeks! Faaaaak. Supposedly all arvo's except for today but we shall see, I wouldn't mind doing a few mornings, you learn more and have to do more so it's a lot more stressful. I'd rather be stressed out now and get used to it than have to struggle with it for the firstish time when I start my newgrad.

It's so far! Blah. At least it's a completely new route (except or the train) so I get to see a whole new side to the city. That's one of the good things about prac, it always pushes you out of your comfort zone.

I saw this woman on the train that looked familiar and I started wondering where I had seen her before, she looked like clerical staf of a hospital. It struck me that this kind of situation will happen more and more over time. I've barely started my career and I'm already pretty regularly seeing staff or patients out in the real world. It's always really confronting because I totally don't want to talk to them and I can never remember which of the several facilities I met them through or what was wrong with them. It's annoying and I always feel so rude. I think it's worse when I realise before they do because then I stress about them recognising me and then thinking I'm a bitch for not saying hi when they figure out who I am...if they remember.

Anywho I should pay more attention to the bus route. I've never take this one b4 and Im probably going to get lost. *sigh*

Español.

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.
