Hey as you can see, I'm still in bed, I'm writing in an attempt to stay awake this time. I've turned off 5 alarms now. Plus I started a post yesterday but couldn't finish it.
I've got to get ready to go to prac, my ride will be here soon. I missed yesterday because I got food poisoning, it wasn't terrible but any excuse not to go into prac lol. My day was sort of wasted though, I was meant to do this assessment stuff and catch up on sleep. Instead I caught up with my aunty and hung out with Tim. Which was good but not what I was supposed to do. I ended up more tired than if I had gone to prac.
Tim came with me to get a medical certificate, lol except I felt really awkward because the receptionist asked me if I was in a relationship and I just said single to make things less complicated. Plus I assumed she meant married/defacto. So when Tim showed up I was like WAIT OUTSIDE, or I'm going to look like a liar lol. But he came in anyway lol. So I was all paranoid and was making a a conscious effort not to seem too comfortable around him. It was wierd, it was a reminder that I don't think we could ever be friends if we broke up. It felt so incredibly wierd not being able to hold his hand/lean on him/hand on knee. I get paranoid about stuff no one cares about a lot. Like the other day the elevator door shut before someone could get on and I felt so guilty that when I got to my floor, I bolted because I was worried I would run into the person that the door closed on and he probably thought I was a bitch for not keeping it open and if I saw him again be might death stare me or something and then I would feel even worse. Plus I couldnt apologise because it's such a stupid little mistake and I didn't want to seem even more psycho and admit that I don't know which button ur meant to press to open the doors b4 they close, or that I was still thinking about it do much. O.O Yeh...see, proof! My brain is always in over drive analysing the most mundane little incidents.
Tim and I tried that ugly little cafe that's sorta opposite cabra station. The Rise Cafe or something. It always looks so busy so I thought maybe the food is good despite the terrible ClipArt logo and derro location. I got a chicken burger and chips for like $9 and it was really nice, not amazing but it was all fresh and the mayo they used wasn't annoyingly tangy. Tim got the steak which is what the advertise outside on a big banner but he was dissapointed. I thought the meat was pretty good o.O but he left like half of it and didn't like the mash coz he said it tasted instant. Oh wells. Not a 'hidden gem' by any stretch of the imagination.
We also finally got uncharted 3 and played the first couple of levels together which was sorta nice =D lol its the only game I like/can play so that's something. It was funish. It was so good just spending the day together not in a rush or really doing anything planned. I'm glad I took the day off. Then at like 3am I realised today is officially out 2years and 6month anniversary. Lol we're not the greatest at keeping ontop of that, big dramas over anniversaries have never been our thing. Ridonculous, I wonder if we'll make it to 3 years.
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.
