EYE CANDY

Yummm. I love my new template BUT am still playing with the code, so some of those sticky notes still aint functional....however i'll sort it out soon. I kind of want to put my personal touch on layouts see, just to make it a little bit more original, tweaking here & there. I'm quite pleased though with this one...
Anyway, got nothing much to say today, i just feel so exhausted after our 3 week stint doing our practicum, but I loved every minute of it :) My patient was gorgeous, i will never forget her. It was bittersweet when I was saying goodbye to her & she was crying (sigh...). Hmmm, the first of many.
Okay, gotta go, I'm having a terrible headache and my head is throbbing mad.
BUT before i do, i wanna share one of my favourite videos, it's cool as...


Catch youse' all later !

Enough !

I am just sick of it. I am sick how women are being used as a bait to sell various products in the market, how we are 'packaged' by media as meat ! and not for being the women that we are- we have brains and not just bodies goodness sakes!

We are mothers who nurture our children, we are sisters, we are daughters, we are friends.

...AND women- well, we tolerate that image (sigh!). It infuriates me how our anatomy is used merely as sexual objects in todays world and we allow it, knowingly or not...just by the clothes that we wear and how we behave ourselves.

Hmmm, i know not all women share this opinion, I might even come across as a puritan & heck, maybe I am too- but I don't care how I am labeled. I stand for the truths that I know and it just sickens me how women are abused, raped, undermined and exploited because I know & you know that we deserve better.

Man, I am not a feminist but I sure understand where they're coming from...

I think it is time that women realize and stand for who we are and refuse all the rubbish sent our way.

Let's go back to being 'ladies' again, in the very sense of the word and let us be good examples to our children.

Nothing wrong with that, I guess.

Sigh of Relief

Yes! i could relax and sleep well tonight after gruelling hours of studying...sat our A&P exam this morning and i've just handed in my essay today- whew. I feel so relieved. Anyway, because i'm getting good feedback from people who browse this page and everyone have good words to say- cheers, people !

I uphold my responsibility of fishing out the coolest stuff i could find in cyberspace for your enjoyment ( and mine, chuckle...). Oooppps ! did i just let the cat outta' the bag ! (scratch head)- Ok, folks-
yo' all caught me redhanded, my part time job is fishing, fishing pretty artworks and photos etcetera... I surf cyberland in search for things that really interest me and is worth blogging.

Kidding aside...

i started this fourth blog because i love art, i appreciate outstanding artists and when i discover nice ones, i post them here as part of my collection. Some of you had the impression that i created some of the artworks ( gulp! ) sorry to burst your bubble, but nope, i wish i did but like i've mentioned earlier, i just fish 'em out from cybersapce and those that really impress me, gets to land on this page...
I love art & if i have the chance to create, i definitely would plunge in...except for now, i am too pre occupied with doing my degree. So, i have to satisfy myself with being a blogger, bugger....

Anyway, UP THERE is another great artwork called 'The Crown Fountain' but that's another post. Enjoy, Cheers !

"Serious Contemplations & Nonsensical Crap "

Hmmm... i am seriously thinking about doing photography as a hobby. Well, erm, i've always toyed with that idea since i do love nature, & i have an eye for art too, i should say ( gloats! ). And- my partner bought a new camera, a nice one for that matter...so yup, i think i'll go for it- on top of everything else, of course.
I'm excited !
I'm the kind of person, see, who NEEDS to have a creative outlet cause i'll die if i don't! i have this need to be creative all the time because it eats away at me if i don't give in...darn it (breathe...).
ON ANOTHER NOTE:
Watched LOVE GURU & it was a cheesy film with a peculiar humour- in other words: did NOT like it. A few laughable moments here & there but that's about it, really,it was a bollywood spoof, goodness sakes' & a waste of money ( i paid $70 for the whole family & later cringed in my seat after Myers spewed out a litany of green jokes- my kids! Noooo, ughhh...felt sick afterwards ).

Last night, we rented THE HUNTING PARTY, which starred Richard Gere & Terrence Howard. It was based on a true story but in my opinion, it was more of a satire, or let me say it this way- the whole event was bordering on the ridiculous, really, there were plenty of "What?" & scratching-my-head moments while watching this film but there you go, it was a satire after all with a peppering of incidental comedies along the way. One & a half stars for me.

On the other hand AUGUST RUSH is magnificent. I truly, honestly loved it! It is fiction, but it's absolutely magical. It's almost teethering as an art film, but it is not...the plot is simple- an orphaned boy looking for his parents but with a twist, see and that's where the magical elements weaved in. A must see film.

Jeez, melatonin is working its magic & back to Tech tomorrow, so better log off now. Thanks for bearing with me & my nonsensical crap...
Zzzzzzz.

Blah di blah, di blah

Bugger! Petrol prices have sky rocketed again, arrgh. I will have to use our bus service this coming semester, i hate the thought of getting up earlier than usual & hop on to two buses to get to Uni- especially now that it's winter. Gee weez...

New Zealand is one of the main importers of dairy products and yet we could hardly afford to buy butter! it's too blimmin expensive, priced at $4 now (used to be $2 last year)so i have to make do with the 'healthier' (cheaper) choice which is Pam's margarine. It's the same with fresh milk, cream and cheese. Milk is cheaper overseas. By golly...
Boo hoo, i need a cry...


Okay, i feel better now.
