You scored as Captain Jack Sparrow. Roguish,quick-witted, and incredibly lucky, Jack Sparrow is a pirate who sometimes ends up being a hero, against his better judgement. Captain Jack looks out for #1, but he can be counted on (usually) to do the right thing. He has an incredibly persuasive tongue, a mind that borders on genius or insanity, and an incredible talent for getting into trouble and getting out of it. Maybe its brains, maybe its genius, or maybe its just plain luck. Or maybe a mixture of all three. Captain Jack Sparrow 67% James Bond, Agent 007 63% El Zorro 58% Lara Croft 54% Batman, the Dark Knight 50% William Wallace 50% Maximus 46% The Amazing Spider-Man 42% Neo, the "One" 33% Indiana Jones 33% The Terminator 29% Which Action Hero Would You Be? v. 2.0 created with QuizFarm.com

words of wisdom:

if you're ever in an art class (or anywhere for that matter) and someone says "today we're going to do something called contour drawing", GET UP AND RUN!!

lol, no i'm just kidding. class yesterday was interesting... worked on contour art. interesting stuff... definitely something new that i haven't done before -- which is good! the teacher had us draw random stuff like our left shoe, some branches, and keys all without lifting the pencil from the paper (which is harder than it sounds!) and no erasing allowed! then there's blind contour... crazy. no looking at your paper, no lifting your pencil, and obviously no erasing. (i didn't even bother scanning those drawings) fun stuff...

my homework is only 30% complete... and it's due tomorrow morning (off to a bad start already)

the teacher is interesting. yesterday she was talking about how anyone can draw with proper instruction and how you don't have to be very skilled to draw well (which i agree with). but when she said that there is no such thing as "God given ability or talent" and that it's all "a bunch of BS" that kinda rubbed me the wrong way... she's a bit newage-ish. also she said we might do some meditation before class to "find our center" and to "help us focus"... eww, weird. so yeah, this is gonna be interesting. i'm not sure if there are any other christians in the class. pray for me guys!

oh and i have a cold!! bleh (eye deed ah tissue for by dose XD)

feeling pessimistic?

i r teh college student

i'm happy to report that i survived the first day of my one and only college class for this semester! the class i'm taking is drawing and composition (so basic realism drawing using pencils and ink). heh, easy stuff! i have to draw 10 drawings a week as homework... (zomg, me draw? nevar!! lol) XD but it's cool. i met a bunch of interesting people.... new experience for a little home-schooler like myself. haha, if you know me you know i'm a little shy. but it was good. maybe i'll post some of my "homework" for you guys... once i do some. ^_^

*EDIT: okay, go here for my homework: http://tosomcs55.blogspot.com/

(*to quote/paraphrase alfalfa.... but yeah, my lovely computer has been randomly dumping it's memory like everyday now with no warning what-so-ever. apparently it's a bad hard drive? yeah, good stuff... *chucks laptop at the wall*)

fair dinkum

yeah, i could talk about this whole fasting deal we're doing, but... i found a MUCH more interesting topic.....

so i've always had this thing for learning languages... i usually start off pretty good learning whatever i feel like on any given day, but then get distracted with something else... so lately - while latin and tagalog were interesting... i'm finding australian (yeah, AUSTRALIAN) to be rather entertaining ^_^

SO here's a few choice phrases (or at least ones i found disgustingly
amusing/totally random) to rot your brain cells: (yaaay)
Brown-eyed mullet : a turd in the sea (where you're swimming!)
Mickey Mouse : excellent, very good. Beware though - in some parts of Australia it means inconsequential, frivolous or not very good!
Trough lolly : the solid piece of perfumed disinfectant in a men's urinal
Vee dub : Volkswagen
Ripper, you little! : Exclamation of delight or as a reaction to good news
Yakka : work (noun)
Banana bender : a person from Queensland
Dill : an idiot
Bushman's hanky : Emitting nasal mucus by placing one index finger on the outside of the nose (thus blocking one nostril) and blowing.
Hottie : hot water bottle
Gobful, give a : to abuse, usually justifiably ("The neighbours were having a noisy party so I went and gave them a gobful")
Lunch, who opened their? : OK, who farted?
Oldies : parents - "I'll have to ask my oldies"
Technicolor yawn : vomit

now go check out the rest of this craziness!! it's "good oil"

(comment and tell me the best word/phrase you found =D)

cheers all!

Manigong bagong taon

(means "happy new year"...? Hindi ko alam tagalog ^^;; hehe)

yesterday was pretty much the best day i've had all year.... *pause for effect- no one gets joke* okay so it was the first day of the year... but it was a good one, really.

new years eve (saturday): my lame family didn't want to go to any parties or even stay up till 12 (buncha fun nazis!!)...so i had my own little party (okay, no i didn't.) but i stayed awake still 2 something... mostly because i couldn't sleep due to my crazy neighbors screaming and setting off fireworks (and who knows what else) in my front yard!! (or at least it sounded like it)

new years day (sunday): church as usual. i was tired, but it was good. then got some quality hangout time w/ a bunch of friends. we ate lunch at souplantation (wonton chicken happiness, mmmm ^_^). my friend put "balsamic vinaigrette" in my root beer... and i didn't even really notice it till he told me -- after i drank it like twice!! XD lol, he's so weird...but then, i'm the one who drank vinegar without even noticing... haha. so we decided if all of us are ever on fear factor or one of those shows, that they'd pick me to drink the gross stuff....(thanks guys). anyway, then we went and chilled at my friend's house for a few hours. played some video games (good times. always). then went to see king kong (my second time) and it was still awesome! all sundays should be that way...

2nd day of the new year (today): omg, my little brother is 13 years old today!! *sniff* they grow up so fast XD ..i imagine we'll probably go out for lunch somewheres later... and then i get to bake teh cake in wrap teh gifts. oh happy day..... rain makes me sleepy...so you get no random links or pictures today...i think you'll live though. cheers~
