Well, that was bad lol .. I'm definitely not in sync with the yr I was born in.

I also did this 'Blogger Code' thing. Answered the Qs, and here's what my code read...

B3 d- t k- s- u-- f- i- o x-- l- c--

NO idea what that means, but hell. Was worth a try.

Federer Vs. Roddick

i SO wanna watch the match... wish i could :( not on TV...

oh well, guess visiting families and getting to watch kids splash around in the pool is goo' enough. talk abt a perfect "family" day... hm, with another family (not mine).

*sigh* now i wish i were at home... chilling out, watching a movie and tlking with friends... ahh, what a thought. but on another note, that wouldn't quite pan out. the electricity blew out in our area 'cuz of a thunderstorm, which hardly lasted for 15 mins.

anyway. kids are nice... i guess. babysitting isn't though. god bless me..

does anyone even read this crap? blah, i hope not. don't really want ppl ta know-know, you know. um, that made sense :)

Another event I wouldn't wanna miss? Evita - the musical (though it's in Sept). Here's more about it :

Winner of seven Tony Awards®, EVITA brings to life the dynamic, larger-than-life persona of Eva Perón, wife of former Argentine dictator Juan Perón. Eva Perón, blessed with charisma, captivated a nation by championing the working class. The exuberant Latin, pop and jazz influences create a gripping theatrical experience as told through a compelling score by Andrew Lloyd Webber. One of the most popular collaborations between Webber and Tim Rice, this legendary musical features the memorable songs ‘Night Of A Thousand Stars’, ‘Another Suitcase In Another Hall’, ‘Rainbow Tour’, ‘High Flying, Adored’, and ‘Don't Cry for Me Argentina’.

anyway, me's out.

Tenn!s !n th3 Ra!n (uhm, not really...)

To be updated soon (after the match, that is) ... thank you :)

~after the match~

Okay... ALL the 3 matches we watched were amazing ! (thank god we didn't have a downpour we'd been having all night) This was the ATP Masters, and we watched a doubles match between Black/Ullyett and Paes/Zimonjic, singles between Safin/Ginepri and Federer/Acasuso... need I say more? The Safin/Ginepri match was rather disappointing - it ended in almost an hr (not even 60 mins), and worst ... Safin lost :( Acasuso didn't really have a chance against Federer - poor guy was exhausted by the end of the second set. Wish I could have stayed back to watch Hewitt against Roddick, but I think the summer sun took it's toll on me and my friend, so we had to scurry off ta the comforts of our homes... 91 degrees! And the worst humidity our city's had this summer (and it all had to occur today). Gotta love umbrellas/hats and sunscreen. Lasted us the entire 9 hrs :D

Song of the moment : You and Me by Lifehouse

Saddest Song Eva...

"The Trapeze Swinger" by Iron and Wine (In Good Company Soundtrack)

oh Beautiful Day ...

It's one of those "walk in the park" days, when you just don't feel like getting outta bed in the morn. Atleast I didn't. I must have woken up 4 times, and gone back ta sleep on all occasions, thinking "okay... 10 more minutes...". Finally I had to wake up when a friend called at 10a.m.. A walk along the lake was a must, and I'm glad I did. It was the perfect way to cure my dragging cold somehow. I just sneezed twice today, compared to .. many on the other days.

Here's the song for today : You're A God by Vertical Horizon. I heard it after ages yesterday and it's stuck 'til this oh-so-beautiful day...

e-Mode

Let's make this clear that I'm thoroughly bored.
I would never (N-E-V-E-R) do this but yeah... like I said, me is bored.
So anyway, I used to absolutely love this site (you answer questions etc.) and most of my spare time was spent here, actually shaking my head at how it"described" my likes and stuff. Today, after almost a year after staying away from the site, I decided to look at all my test results. Here's some of the musings the site came up for me.

Must-See European City : London
(uhm... when I looked at the other options, I wondered how come I didn't get Prague. I LOVE that city, and would do anything to get that answer... grr)




Zodiac Match Test : Cancer
(no offense, but lets get real. Cancerians are so... so, what's the word - unnecessarily emotional. I adore emotions, but not when that's what you have to face 24/7; love romantics at heart - which woman doesn't - but.. nah. Not an over-drive)


Signature City : Seattle
(NOW we're talking)






Fantasy Island : New Zealand
(I'd agree too... but I barely have any knowledge of the place)





Man of Your Dreams : A Secret Agent
(er... yeah, don't ask - I'm just hoping we're talking the Banderas-type agents)






Your Trademark Tune : (You Drive Me) Crazy - Spears
(compared to the other songs... I'm just glad I got this one)





Celebrity Soul-Mate : Owen Wilson
(................................... oh my... did I mention that I just love this site?)






Which That 70s Show character are you : Kelso
(hmm..... for what? my humor ? jeez I sure hope not - no offense to him, but 'i' isn't 'him')






Movie Star double : Drew Barrymore
(The reason - A free spirit like you needs to be played by someone who knows what it's like to carve out her own niche. Um... thatd too deep for me anyway)



What does your style say about you : Sporty and fun
(yup, thats just me - finally something that makes sense)





Which 'Friend' are you : Monica
(LOL ... atleast I know I'm not the only one editing for grammar mistakes in the middle of reading my own compliments)




My 'true' talent : Abstract Reasoning
(You're one of those rare people who can mix two unrelated ideas together to come up with a great new one. Your combination of strategic thinking and creativity can be an incredible value in both business and social environments. Oh wow, the way they put your worst trait in such a manner it makes you shine your teeth outta your mouf)


There's loads more, but I just found something to do - vile away time in short. Yay! Happy e-moding, blogging, etc. etc. - all those good things. One more thing ta do on boring days :)

And Happy Independence Day ta all my Indie friends *huggssss*

FeTT's VeTTe

~click here to listen~
My backpack's got jets
I'm boba the fett
I bounty hunt for jaba hut
To finance my vette
I chill in deep space
A mask is over my face
I deliver the prize but I still narrow my eyes
Cuz my time I don't like to waste.
Get down

*cheers* animeFrEaK

how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,
which is what I have been doing all day.
Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?

-Mary Oliver, from "The Summer Day"

Bored...

I think I've reached the pinnacle of absolute boredom... so I've finally decided to write a book. My life. Now I know how one of those authors feel, sitting at home, trying their best to write a "masterpiece"... but failing so horribly.

*ahem*

Helllooo ( !! ) It isn't so bad, ya know. Not like I'm going to bore you (though I could desperately wish some of this redundancy to any person ... or whatever).

*after 10 minutes of staring at the screen*

Hmm... is it just me or there's nothing to say?

*goes to read that very "boring" book*

*comes back with an energy drink*

A side-note here. I hate energy drinks. HATE ( yeaaaah, that’s it). Why does it have to taste like $&(@!*# ? Not that I've tasted $&(@!*# , but I can pretty well imagine that’s what it tastes like. Wouldn't it be much easier just to jack up the caffeine content of Coke or Mountain Dew, and lower the sugar ? How tough can that be ? And yesh, me likes Mountain Dew (dunno why so many people dislike it... my mom for one - she refuses to have it in a glass glass, erm, but in a mug so that she can't see the drink's colour. $&(@!*# colour).

*yawns*

Fark, and energy drinks don't even work...

*decides to read the end of that "boring" book and be done with it*

Nooooooww. Me life story. Well, I thought better of it and I'm just gonna cut a long story short here. I've changed 7-8 schools, and after graduating have I realized I'm glad I did. All those futile "no-mom-you-all-go-without-me" arguments were so useless... Skipping over to high school, ninth grade was my last year in a convent school (can't say the best 5 years of my life, but it sure got me thinking about becoming a nun.......... no, as if). Moved to another school after a semester, and boy, was I glad I moved. The people here were the friendliest lot I'd ever met, though more on the conservative side (you know, when kids turn around and stare and start whispering if you talk to a guy, or if a guy talks to you - took me a while to actually find friends who behaved otherwise). That was half of the freshman and the entire sophomore year. Here's where that streak of luck showed up (...was wondering whether I would even have it in this lifetime). Got pretty okay scores on an exam, and got accepted into a good school away from home. It had a boarding school too, so since my family stayed back to let my sister complete her tenth grade (which never happened, cuz the "wandering" bug had bitten my family), I moved into my first ever boarding school. First year, that would be junior year, or the first few months rather, I was home-sick, and I hated having giving up tennis (we were s'posed to be "serious" about our career paths by now). Every boarder was. All the day-scholars (people who didn't stay in the boarding house) were wary of us lot first (no idea...), but soon wanted to "experience" what we went through. The food (which sucked so bad, that I decided to lay off food and assume I was on a fast or something - didn't last long though), the rooms (oh yeahhh, green. Turn everywhere and you see green - that was our school colour apparently), and I could turn cynical and say a whole lot more, but I think I'll stop right there... and for a reason. Come senior year and I got appointed as "An Appointee". The regular - look after complaints, get things cleared up, save juniors from ragging, promote harmony... right. Ragging. That's what every junior had to go through, no matter what. You're asked to do stuff for a senior, yadayada. Some "misfortunate" incidents happened, and when we turned seniors, the rules became stricter, our juniors turned out to be full-time smartass kids, and us 5 appointees lay off helping our friends in their ragging procedures because "you'd be striped of your badges without warning". So yeah, we never got a chance to say, "Hey! But our seniors did it to us too ! It’s a tradition..." . Two months and I had to move away again... this time back in with my family to another city. It was a huge change. Living with friends was different... and moving back in with my family gave me a few hitches (you know, no staying up late, no late-night talks, no cussing - I never did, but having to not hear it was not doing me any good either, made me feel as if I was missing out on something very VERY important in life - kidding). Senior year. Now this year, a LOT of things happened. There's a very good chance that I'll never mention all of them on here... 1.Friends from my previous schools decided to contact everyone they knew, so that was cool 2. Met new people, and it was awesome... even though most of them were short-lived 3. Stress-levels plummeted 4. Senioritis (yeah, the lazy phase) 5. Grades went up and down (thanks to senioritis, I hardly bothered... not good). And graduation. And summer vacations - roadhiking, camping, sun, surf. Ohh, got into university (.......um, yeah. There were chances I wouldn't get into a "decent" one). That’s that. My shot at letting know all those kids out there who complain that it sux to move and shift cities, that in the end, its worth it (wow, that made me feel sooo old suddenly...). And above all, letting my friends how much they mean to me, and I wouldn't want to change anything.

*goes off ta listen to some music and make yet another record on the foosball table*

Yeah right, I'm "that" good at foosball...

I'm gonna agree with the first quote there (Mik'll agree on that... hmm, I shouldn't have said that eh ?). So anyway, I'm bored. I feel like picking on someone actually. Sis isn't here, otherwise I wouldn't have to even type that but oh well.. I think I'm just gonna pick on all those ppl who can't see my msn space.

...

Nah. A'ight, maybe I'll just sit and vent about dial-up connections. I HATE DIAL-UP !! I mean really eeesh : I had ta call up da company 3 (THREE!!) times to repair my IP address, and got a "Oh, ma'am, you can do that on your Control Panel itself.. let me help you".. Right. It took all my effort not to slam the phone down *deep breath* So yeah. Sux to be technologically unaware or w/e. Blah! I'm out.

How tiny things delight me ..

Me = SO F'ING PROUD OF MESELF ! !
I'm retarded when it comes to computers (especially the Java, HTML crap where you have to sit and look at tonnes of lines that could - and probably are - gibberish). Its amazing how I even got into the E/C Eng. program...
Soooooo, today, I sat and finally worked out the redundancy surrounding the Template of all my blogs. And got the chatterbox and GuestGlobe thingy working ! Now I'm thinking it wasn't so bad after all. But no... I wouldn't go through another ordeal like it.
Thats that for now, and I'm off ta listening to music . And do something about the other 3 blogs of mine :
Later.

Who can say why your heart sighs,
As your love flies?
Only time...

When Everything's Over

They'd looked up at the sky and sighed waiting
For the sun to stop shining the way it did
For the days to scurry by without the seconds drag for eons
And one day it did stop shining and they sighed again
Wanting it back , for they had nothing to do but
Wait.
Wait. Sigh. Sigh.
Once againg they longed for the days when
They could get their hands dirty in the soil they worked,
But the sun rose no more on the east, making them sigh.
They fidgeted.
Let the boredom glaze over their sighs.
Wait.
Wait.
The little boy came and cried for He could not ease the sigh frenzy,
They watched Him, knowing the wait for worthless for them but who knows...
"We think of our children and their children," they said, "We want them
To see the first ray.
To feel the water beneath their feet."And they sighed.
The little boy sighed
And embraced a mother before taking leave.
"When everything's over, remember me."
"Everything will return." She smiled.
Sigh.

Friends Without Faces

We sit and we type, and we stare at our screens.
We all have to wonder, what this possibly means.
With our mouse we roam, through the rooms in a maze,
Looking for something or someone, as we with in a daze.

We chat with each other, we type all our woes
Small groups we do form, and gang up on our foes.
We wait for somebody, to type out our name.
We want recognition, but it is always the same.

We give kisses and hugs, and sometimes flirt.
In PM's we chat deeply, and reveal why we hurt.
We do form friendships - but - how, we don't know
But some of these friendships, will flourish and grow.

Why is it on screen that we can be so bold
Telling our secrets, that have never been told.
Why is it we share the thought in our mind
With those we can't see, as though we were blind.

The answer is simple, it is as clear as a bell.
We all have our problems, and need someone to tell.
We can't tell real people, but tell someone we must,
So we turn to the 'puter, and to those we can trust.

Even though it is crazy, the truth still remains
They are Friends Without Faces, and odd little names...

I just want you to know who I am...

Song of the moment : Iris by Goo Goo Dolls

From the journals of the dips*** library

Baby you are . . .

My sunny sky
My favourite high
My bed so warm
My port in a storm
My sweetest gift
My emotional lift
My best friend
'Til the end
My inspiration
My destination
My shining light
My day and night
My heart healer
My anger chiller
My pain reliever
My spring fever
My gem so rare
My answered prayer
My heart 'n' soul
My life made whole
My merry-go-round
My 'up' when I'm down
My best chance
My last dance
My best shot
My sweet kumquat
My energizer
My morning sun
My evening fun
My dancing partner
My heart's gardener
My source of laughter
My everafter
My heaven sent
For whom I'm meant
My burning fire
My greatest desire
My soul mate
My sweet fate
My dream lover
My "before all others"
My confidence
My common sense
My reason why
'Til I die,
Just in case you didn't know. . .
