HOLA SEñORITAS!
I'M FREE! sort of...not really =( I get 3 weeks off from prac for xmas + new years but I still have to do a couple of assessments during that time. Blah. At least when I return to prac it's just 3 more weeks and then I'm done...FOREVER.
No more of this stupid uniform:
I don't even know what I want to say anymore, I thought I would be writting for ages but there's not much to say. Like I mentioned before I feel really detached from everything at the moment, I think it's because being on prac takes complete hold of my mind while I'm there. Nothing at all crosses my mind while I'm working that isn't directly related to what I'm doing. I like it in a way because it means there is no time for negativity but that strange state of mind seems to be bleeding into my everyday life too. It sort of feels like when someone tries to talk to you and you're half asleep and then you wake up and can't remember what you spoke about at all. I feel super self-involved at the moment even though my headspace right now is mostly just fog.
Christmas is going to come and go without a big fuss again this year but then again I don't think xmas has ever been a HUGE deal to me, even as a kid. This year however I don't even know what I'm doing. My mums husband's family invited us to spend it with them but I'm not going, and Tim wants me to spend it with his extended family but that sounds soooooooo boring. I hate family things. I just want to get drunk or something...or u know, just pretend it's another day. Sleep the day away or watch shit online. I wish I could sleep that easily, that way if I was ever bored I could just 'turn off' and wait until something fun happens. Everyone is always with their families for xmas, it's always such a bummer coz I wanna do something fun with friends but they're all being loving and shit with their blood ties. BORING.
New years feels like it will be a problem too. I have no definite plans, no one I know/like is having a house party (which would be my ideal location to spend a new years) and I don't wanna do it at my place again, that was dull. So some of my friends are going into the city but that sounds like suchhhh a hassel. And that's all I know for now, I don't even know what Tim's doing but I'm guessing I won't spend it with him since he leaves that morning for the beach or something. Blah. I can tell it's going to be shit already.
So apart from prac I've not been doing a great deal. I went to look at the xmas lights in guildford last night with tim and his friends but that was blah but we both knew it would be. The only thing that made it nice was that me and tim are almost equally as scroogey as each other. We spent the whole time complaining about the children and traffic and plotting their deaths. It's always a good feeling hating on something together with someone else. The lights weren't even that pretty =.= Except for the last house, they had a nice window display thingo:
Nat's tea party was kool, that was a wierd weekend though, I spent a lot of time with people I don't usually talk to on both days. It's wierd being able to hang out with tim's friends without him there. I guess it has almost been 3 years so...inevitable I guess. Errmmm what else, there's been a few dinners here and there, jamrock, drinking, gyming with Warren and Tim. Going to the gym is heaps fun with other people =D
anyway I should get ready, tim's coming to get me to go to the gym again.
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
