Despite getting plenty of sleep these days, the dark circles won't budge. My next guess is my constant allergies. I've read in a few places that they can cause dark circles and seeing as I have chronic blocked nose due to my allergies it looks like they won't be going anywhere unless I sort out the nose stuff. I should look into that, the last time I tried I was about 8. Maybe there's been some sort of advancement. Last time they pretty much said there was nothing they could do. My blocked nose isn't from polyps or anything. It's just my allergies to dust mites and dogs and cats and cockroaches and everything. Yet the only side effect is a blocked nose, I occasionally also get full blown hay fever with the runny nose that is also simultaneously blocked while getting puffy leaky eyes. It's gross and uncomfortable.

So I wrote that while I was waiting for the bus as I was coming home from work. My days been okay I guess. Work was breezyyy, I only had 3 patients and they were all self-caring. I even had enough time to go chat with the patients I had been looking after all last week. Lol one of them gave me pack of choc chip cookies ^.^ Tasty as!
Then I went to the gym for the usual hour and a half. I try to go after ever morning and night shift. Pm shift is awkward though coz they say ur not supposed to be in the gym alone after hours unless u have a buddy and I don't know how strict they are enforcing that and the idea of showering and washing my hair b4 work, AT WORK, sounds terrible.
The rest of my arvo was spent being a loser. Alone in my room watching glee and working on ma pusseh pulls because I've caught up on everything else ={ That and random squats. Alone. *sigh* At least I got a work assessment done too. Productive day I suppose but still so dull with no real interaction with anyone.

I had 4 days off this past week and they were pretty sad. I spent most of it alone watching stuff online. My Friday was spent making chain mail for Tim because that was my best option. Seriously!? Why does no one want to dance. I need to make new friends.

Boo. Not happy. I feel very much like I did back in my early high school days. Bored and alone.
It's not the worst but it would be nice to hang out with people and actually have a good time instead of always switching off. Coming together but being together in silence as we watch something or make something or eat something. Like, that's nice too when you want to switch off and just feel totally comfortable but I like being engaged once in awhile.

Need that spark.
Oh well. I should go to sleep. I have work again tomorrow. Eek. Monday morning. Busyyyy.

Cya guys! Sorry for always sounding bummed.

If things work out I'll be going to this dancehall thing on sat after work that I'm really hopeful for. Part of me is about ready to just go on my own if no one wants to come with me *sigh*

& Kitty goes MeOw.

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.
