Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.(To do this, go to “NOTES” under tabs on your "PROFILE" page (you may have to add the tab by clicking on the + sign), click on "Compose New Message" and paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people (in the right hand corner of the app) then click publish.)so since im bored and have been tagged several times here goes:1)I had to go bak and read other peoples list to try and think of stuff to write2) Im incredibly scared about the direction my future is taking me in3) I wish I didn't care so much about my appearance ..especially since i I never fulfill the standards I set for myself4) Lately I start to get really stressed out and anxious if i don't go out and see a friend at least once during the day5) I absolutely love reading but I haven't made the time to read in ages because I'm too lazy and I cant stand being interrupted while reading a good book6) I don't like so much of the music i was in love with the last couple of years and it makes me incredibly sad that Ive grown out of it ={7) I love getting stressed out by having too many activities and places to go because it makes me feel like I have a life and i love the feeling i get when i can see my calendar full of things to do for weeks to come XD (AND i don't have a diary planner for this year yet which stresses me out and I'm getting a friend to buy and ship over the one i saw while i was on holidays lol)8) I tend to feel bad for not feeling guilty about the bad things I've done/do to people9) I'm really worried that once I complete (if ever) the things on my wish list(like goals and that) I still wont be happy10) Coming back from Chile always makes me really upset because the things that use to matter to me before i left never have the same significance once i get back because I get use to living without them. It leaves me feeling really disorientated and feeling a lot like...'what do i do now :S'11) I hate myself for wanting a new computer a new camera a new house and new clothes. Its so materialistic and such..a waste u know? like..I shouldn't care about those things...such pointless things.12) I recently met some people who are my age who are so grown up and have lived so much that it makes me feel like a child and like I don't meet their level of accomplishment (as a person) It made me feel so useless and incompetent to be around them13) In general, I dislike cats but i have some wierd impulse to say meow and imitate cats fairly often14) I'm so scared of getting old and loosing an interest in going out and having fun15) I'm incredibly lazy16) I'm ashamed of my lack of artistic ability I wish i was more creative and had the ability to inspire others17) I find most mainstream celebrities fugly. There are MUCH hotter people in real life.18) I couldn't care less about celebrities and what their doing I don't even know them why on earth would I care about who they're dating. OH but i think mags have every right to trash them for gaining weight. its their fucking job to stay skinny and looking amazing, that's why they get millions and hire trainers and personal chefs. How else are they meant to delude us into thinking its possible to act 'perfect'19) I really cant stand it when guys are obsessed with working out and going to the gym..or are obsessed with cars..I just don't get it.20) I hate shopping it makes me feel like crap21) my mum still chooses my clothes because buying clothes stresses me out like crazy and shes hated everything Ive ever chosen for myself and later makes me come to my senses and realise that I make horrible choices22) I love dancing but I wish I was better at it23) I tend to feel more comfortable around guys because girls intimidate me.24) A lot of girls scare me because they have a good sense of fashion and fix themselves up and look nice. Its even worse when they're not total airheads and can also hold an interesting conversation. I feel like I come up short. ohohoh but its ten times worse if they're really laid back and don't put much effort into their appearance and still look amazing.25) I just went over this and reread the whole thing and am wondering if anyone actually cares..lol Most probably not. oh...and wondering who I should tag..i don't wanna b annoyingPS i could only come up wif 21 people to tag :S
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.
