Current Music: Stereolab - les bons bons des raisons
                    

Vous vous presentar s’il vu plaît?

..well dunno if that made sense at all! haha! It was my answer to the part where we write a sentence in french:

    Ask your friend to introduce the person with her

Took the French test last saturday.. and i was like this the whole time or more than half the time -> and the rest of the time, like this -> with about a couple or two dull moments staring into empty space, pretending to think, like this ->

Although, i have some Positive points too. Here are some easy examples:

The hard parts are (1) fill in the blanks of people engaged in conversations, (2) write the french question that fits, And (3) construct a pharagraph about a person based on the basic details given.

HA! After the test, the gal beside me told me if she made a re-take with the same questions, she doubts if she’ll be able to answer them still. lol.. well i agree that it is indeed not what we all expected. And our prof didnt really concentrate on talking about sentence construction (which she should have, since the test were mostly of that). If i get a “take2″ well, im pretty sure i am not alone. lol.

But hey, fairly worthwhile to learn a bit. At least if i go to some french sites now, i can get what they meant, but not really translate in full tho. Well, what do you expect with mere 40 hours training?

And yeah, as far as i know, its not the test that counts but the process of learning. Fail or not.. it was all fun.

And sheesh.. have no choice now but wait for the results.. Wish me luck!

note: photo above i took just after the test. well, did some picassa editing there. hehe.. but the original pic is at my flickr. (please see sidebar)

Current Music: The Essence -

FAITH: I want to hold on TEARS: I cry over you somehow LOVE: Hand in hand in the park HATE: Oh I wish I could sleep for once, before the night comes -Everything, The Essence

Today’s featured artist is The Essence, a fairly unknown and easily misunderstood band. Their singer, Hans Diener, has a voice which would even make Robert Smith stop and wonder who was singing their songs. but nonetheless, they should not be regarded as a shadow of The Cure.

Ok, ok.. some say “Like Christ” inevitably calls to mind the Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me song “One More Time,” but hey.. hmm..

“Diener’s vocals start to sound a little broader in terms of potential influence, reaching for a sort of clean ’80s Euro sound, at least in the moody continent of dreams where everything is always tastefully gloomy and filmed in black and white for videos. But then he’ll hit a higher note here and there and one can just realize Robert Smith is about to phone asking for copyright damages” - Ned Raggett (All Music Guide)

LOL! Well, just click on the two songs above for free download. And you be the judge. Just a quicky post for today.. i just love them so much my player can’t get over running on repeat mode. And hey, great lyrics too!

Read the lyrics of Everything from the album Nothing Lasts Forever, for Like Christ tho, sorry have no time to search for it.. Is it a dark love song using the name of Christ in vain? nhe.. so just shadow dance with me..

..while i go back and study for my French test tomorrow. Ok, this post is just to run away from another velvet anxiety syndrome.. before it strikes again. Voyez-vous plus tard!

note: Why 2 mp3s for download you say? Get the two songs already before i change my mind. };-}

Bonjour! (pronounced: Bong-zhoor) i think im having migranes.

After the first meeting of my French class today, i went home beat up. by the rain and my coughs. My nose was literally dripping during class! And i have to cover it with a lampin. i cant blow my nose right there, and i cant miss a thing the prof was teaching, so i have to wait til break time to finally put all that gutt off my nose! aaahh.. the echo in the empty corridors!

The class was ok but i dont have enough energy to talk about that today.. what more look back on my notes. Tho, here’s a short pre-view: We were actually more than 25 students, ranging from college freshmen to bum (one claimed he liked to study this lang coz he has nothing else to do.. lol) to biz pros, to bank employees to international company babies.. well to yeah a pretend “freelance web-designer slash writer” haaa!! *coughs*

oh goid, my splitting headache…

when i move or stand or even raise my head a bit.. its like feeling soda bubbles gushing from the back of my neck up to my head!! ahh.. need aspirin. tssk. there’s no aspirin in this fookin house!! its not a popular brand here. most people use Biogesic to cure anything. duh! well, might as well have that. better than nothing. it has no side effects anyway…

sleep? yeah i hear some whispers now.. go back to bed.. its freakin 3 am! Well, i cant sleep.. coz actually my mobile’s been buggin me.. first two missed calls from that friendster frend i have. then his strange sms after saying he’s afraid of what he’s feeling and i asked what he was feeling:

   ”i dont know what u txt kc naguguluhan ak.
   Mixd thoughts. Nahihiya ako, nagagalit, natatakot,
   na iinlove, nanghihinayang.”
      sent: 24-Sept-2005
      02:50:57

   ”Im sori i wake u up. BUt i just got d guts u txt u this.” - 02:57:03

   ”natatakot akong magpakita sayo, kausapin ka” - 03:09:42

   ”Im still weak, im still lonely. Ako parin ung taong
   hndi m maipagmamalaki at hndi m mamahalin ng lubusan.
   Gaya ng dati. Natatakot akong mainlove uli.” - 03:12:13

   ”Pro sa loob loob k, gusto ktang makita, makausap.
   Maging malapit uli sayo. Gs2 kong isipin k.” - 03:16:16

   ”Mrami nang ngbago sakin. Pero hndi na ko nainlove after
   nang huli nting kta. Naging kumplikado na ang mga buhay ntin.
   Masaya ko pro hndi ak kntento” - 03:12:22

no space for new messages full inbox. need to erase. need to blow my nose. brb

eew. green! yuck! awooooch… my head!!

toot toot… huh? more?!

   ”i miss u so. Its making me sad.” - 03:28:08

   ”Im sori i hav u tel u all about this.I cnt help it,
   Im nt ok ryt now.Im misin u & im lonely.
   Im scared and confused.Im hapi i found u
   once again.Pls smile.Gudnyt” - 03:36:08

Actually i dunno what to say so i didnt reply to any of the sms.. i dont like him to expect anything but friendship. right now im afraid of commitments and afraid of myself. i dunno what things i am capable of doing. i dont want to hurt him but i do not feel anything right now. i wanna feel that “butterflies in the stomach” i wanna feel crazy.. i wanna run… but at the same time i am pessimistic about things. about life. we make our own realities, yeah, and there’s so much reality that i wanna make right now. i still dunno why im taking this fookin French class, as if im actually going to Paris. knock.knock. your sis was even denied her US Visa, when she works with an American company.. duh.. owns a condo and getting married next year. What more me? im am nothing, my work is worthless and i dont even earn half of what shes’s earning. i need 3 points more to pass the Canada migration thing, that i only took the free assesment for kicks, and im not sure what job i will have when i actually pursue it.

im looking for.. wait, scrap that.. im waiting… for love in all the wrong places, and wanted to expect something from someone, living across the globe, and not capable like i am. i feel sorry and shy to the history prof who used to vsit my other blog, i know i owe him an appology but i dint know why. i feel disgustedly irritated with my last talk with the man who started me blogging. and in turn i know he is too thats why we never spoke again. and i wanna get my full revenge at j. but i dont wanna see him anymore but im such a weakling when it comes to him asking favors. i wanna fool him but i feel i am violated, but not. oh, and yeah, i mix reality with dreams most of the time. confusing??

He (the one who sent the sms..) would not like to step into my realm. nobody actually, will have the guts to take it.

im such a loser… and yeah, thats why i called it twisted.

Current Music: My Bloody Valentine - “Blown A Wish”
                    

Midnight wish Blow me a kiss I’ll blow one to you Make like this Try to pretend it’s true Show me all your favorite things Show you all mine too Make a wish I’ll give it all to you Welcome to your favorite dreams Welcome to mine too Caught like this I’ll turn it in with you Fall apart my bleeding heart Nothing left to do Once in love I’ll be the death of you

First off, that’s a great download above! And as always, its FREE and unexpirable! For those who havent heard My Bloody.. tssk.. you are missing out on music. BIGTIME! If you like what you hear… erm i have more. just ask.. hehe or loom over to PsychoCandies.. although pardon the links to the right column, its not updated yet. erm.. just too busy nowadays. but when i feel like adding new links, id mention it here.

Good News: i found my book!!! woeha!

yeah, its in the net cafe! tssk.. somebody apparently “mistook” it.. hmm.. Well, maybe tried to take it home and read it but turned out uninteresting for him/her? or maybe, he/she have already finished reading it overnight! haha… Well, whichever, glad i have it back with me now. *hugs my book*

ok, now thats a reason to be cheery! i should stop making demented posts today. it scares off the commentators! *winks

Found a new hangout: Alternate Safe Heaven Entrance @ WinMX… lol bunch of cool godesses and one god (waves to Aardvark, thanks for the help in the codes). So, starting tomorrow, if you cant find me at msn nor Blogexplosion Shoutbox, nor Soulseek, im there! hehe.. and dont forget to say hello to Ms.Smoker…

I have been using WinMX for years now. That’s my first P2P after “the original” Napster was shut down. Then i found Soulseek, it has more full-length albums there. And i found these more convenient and easier to use than Kazaa. (sorry, dont have a link for that nor Kazaa Lite, i do not recommend it) Although feel free to try what best suits your search..

Ok, still dont know what im talking about? Well, the sites mentioned above are my hunting grounds for music that i can’t damn find in this country. Either it is rarely (and mostly never!) available or the few people who owns them are people that i do not like to be attached to anymore. Oh well… here are places to get FREE Download of any Media. Just be patient and you’d finally complete that album you’ve been drooling over.

Quote of the Day: “Men have a greater intellectual range then women. While this means the most intelligent man is likely to be more intelligent than the most intelligent woman, it also means that the dumbest man is likely to be less intelligent then the dumbest woman.” - Jolan

…well, erm…

Another reason to be cheery.. im starving for knowledge (and i need a better-paying job) pff… so im taking up French! A bientôt à demain… Zut! Comment dit-on shit en français?
