Grr at chu blogger app! I paid for you! You should work!! I've lost about 4 posts recently and haven't been able to update my blog seeing as I'm not home long enough to blog from my computer.
I'm waiting for my mommmmy to pick me up. I'm coming off an 18hr shift lol. Not my intention but I would have taken it if it had been organised beforehand anyway. I was doing an arvo shift and they asked if I could stay Bak and do a night on a different ward so I agreed. It's not like I had anything to do last night or today. Plus 2 months without work has left me poor. I'm down to my last $10 pretty much lol. I was getting a little worried because they weren't calling me in and it's been what...like 3 weeks since I finished prac and only just now started getting called in. The good thing is that once they start seeing you in person they remember you and call you in for more shifts. I've got 2 more shifts linned up. YAY muniesss.
There's heaps of awesome shows/gigs I want to go to so now I'm set and have a bunch of spending money. I'm still always amazed at how little work I have to do to earn money, it's the bomb. My minds going to be totally boggled once I work full time and have a proper salary. It's so easy to save money...hopefully it just doesn't get 'borrowed' again lol. Oh well c'est la vie.
Uhm soooo I'm going to try and pull up at least one blog that was lost and back log it. But basically to sum up everything, stuff settled a little after my birthday. There was a heap of drama in lots of different ways and things haven't exactly been crystal clear, I guess I'm still feeling torn at times and the only way to deal with that is to keep busy I guess. The two main sources of confusion and conflict have been my mum and Tim. Mums just been crazy and restrictive lately, and if you know anything about my lifestyle and high schooling years you would understand how backwards and how huge of a contradiction her behaviour has been lately.
The thing with Tim is figuring out feelings and being friends and all that jaz. Lol the other day we tried to put a little more distance between us and it literally lasted 2 minutes. Things bigger than us just keep happening, I'm going to take it as a sign =P haha plus like I've said before. No matter what happens between me and him I want to keep him as a friend.
Regardless of the messy situations I've been in lately I feel like I've managed to experience a lot and learn about myself a fair bit so at least there is still progress. I didn't go to the gym at all last week! Terrible. I want To go tonight but who knows what time I'll be waking up. I do want to go back though, last week was just busy =S Not even sure how, I mean, there was vday, there was absinthe bar, hanging with stef twice and seeing a few other people. I don't mind I guess, it was nice, I haven't really had a moment to breath but ehhhh.
Stef and Joel came back from overseas.
Oh yay mums here and being a bitch already. *sigh*
Seriously when the fuck did shit get so complicated. It's been one thing after another since I finished prac. Consistently extreme highs countered with extreme lows. It's messed up.
And it's only thursday, I feel like a month worth of things have happened in the space of 5 days. This is ridiculous.
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
