saluuuuut,
ok here is a little lesson for you..
i have
you have
we have
they have
he/she has
I sense a common factor here.. h.a.v.e apart from the exceptional has...
english = easy
now the french people apparently dont want anyone to learn their language as they have made it veeeery veeery difficult, i recently found a few people in my class who have attempted the subject before and failed!
ahh my confidence has never been better
anyway, back to my lesson.
this is how the french do it
i have : j'ai
you have : tu as
we have : nous avons
you(pluriel) have : vous avez
he/she has : il/elle a
they have : ils/elles ont
there is NO common word! how ridiculous.. and who would have thought that chairs,books,tables and any other objects in general would have to be classified as masculine/feminine?
i still am enjoying my french class though.... just need to make sure I dont fail it
i spent about 2 hours doing an online quiz today whereby i had to listen to audio recordings in french and then answer the quiz accordingly..
the pluriels really kill you... honestly it is so difficult to tell the diff between cashier and cashiers both pronounced ( ka-hier).
this is blog post no 4 this year... one blog per month... i should just do 12 and get over with it then wait for next yeaaar! whooop
people dont seem to blog much anymore..ive nothing to read online! so im posting my own so i can read it.
gotta go get fat and happy on chocolate kids...
one of te first sentences i memorized in French.. j'aime le chocolat ( le = masculine btw) it must be why girls like it.
a bientot!

hello.yellow.fellow.bellow.mellow.
bonjour mes amies,
comment cava : )
i still cant realy say any sentences in French much alone understand if someone stood in front of me and recited numbers from 1 - 10 in francais... but but buuuuut... i can understand when i read it!... well not all of it of course... but quite a bit... ones from my textbook anyway... its so the cool..
I can read gibberish and make sense out of it.. woot. the skills just keep on coming, dont they.
ummm.. i thought i knew what i was gonna say... but now i have convieniently forgotten..
truth is.. im blogging only because its about the only excuse I have left for not studying.
Internet is being bitch.. and going at snail speed... FB is out of the question....
ummmm.... uhhhhhh...
yesterday in town, while I was quietly minding my own business someone handed me a leaflet thingy... seeing as Im still sorta lacking in the socializing department i decided to read it..
it was a comic strip.. about a guy who always left things until the last minute.. like homework, chores.. etc and then never actually getting them done.. till one day this guy tells him about christianity and Jesus and how he should accept Christ to go to Heaven... and he being him says laater.. and then happens to die... and the last comic stip is a picture of fire with the words.. where do you think he ended up? heaven or hell?
isn't that sorta harsh?? for example.. say this person X is an athiest, and he is a pretty good person... not mean or spiteful... he is kind and thoughful, he donates time, effort and money to charity.. and basically is not 'sinning' every day of his life... when he dies, is he going to hell? simple because he isnt a christian?
If that were true... then its mean.. isnt the purpose of religon to promote kind unmalicious acts? Why make it that one HAS to go through specific religion in order to go to heaven?
I havent decided yet if I wanna go to church for Easter yet. Don't freak out Becky! = )

the lonely square moon
Feel like its time to put up another post... : )
not like i really have anything to say though... oh hey, guess what me friends.. I am taking the effort to make friends.... : ) i went to the beaach coz it was a sweltering 27 degrees... prob one of the last hot days for awhile.. and it was on a saturday which was a bonus point...
so yep.. there were a bunch of us who headed to the beach.. soaked up some sun... let the waves lick my feet, but then realised that it was icy cold and stepped back...
went to watch a stand-up comedy later on that night... was pretty funny.. considering it was aussie humor.. and then an irish band came on.. and there were a whole bunch of hippies trying to do some ssort of jig that was meant to go with the music..
when they werent doing that, they were busy pushing and shoving each other and wrestling on the floor.. still looked like they were having fun though.....
walked around the city.. talked to some people.. met some americans on a vacation.. which was quite fun.. we just stood around talking for about 30 mins
so there... are you proud of meeeeeee? im not this anti-social person anymoreeee
i wanna move out closer to uni... travelling in a bus for about 2 hrs plus a day to attend a 50 min class is starting to get on my nerves... me mummy says I can start looking into it.. Joy! having my own.. place... how the exciting.. only downside would be no more hot meals awaiting me when I get home.. unless my aunty is a fan of delivering food to me...
but hey.. maybe ill eat lots less then... and get rid of some of the unwanted fats : )
adios amigo : )
i reeally should be practicing my french.. not spanish....bleh

my oldest and bestest friend had to said goodbye to her Mum in the most painful way possible, and I wasn't there for her.
Aunty Merle was such an amazing, warm person who like my grandma always wanted to make
sure I had lots to eat.
for the 15 years I knew her she had always been so supportive of me and my mum, helping us whenever possible.
She helped my Mum start over by moving, she was the one there for us when I had the accident, she always seemed to know what to do, and how to best handle things.
She was an amazingly strong person who was incredibly proud of my best friend and for some strange reason liked frogs.
i wont ever forget the pride and prejudice night the 4 of us had, or the time Aunty Merle teamed up with Pet and Romi to try and convince me to eat chicken feet.
i will always remember the time i tried this incredible tasting dish made by Aunty Merle only to find out that it was egg-plant. who knew it could taste so good
I know Mopsy is going to miss her so much. once i heard Aunty Merle showering praises and kisses, saying 'oh my youngest daughter, I missed you sooooo much, did you miss me?' i thought she was talking to Romi, but i walked into the room only to find that she was holding Mopsy and talking to her.
I cant even begin to understand what Pet,Romi and Uncle Cosmos must be going through right now. I still cant believe it. i feel sad that I didnt get to say goodbye.
She will always be with you babe, in spirit and in your heart. Im here for you and I love you lots.

Influence me' Influence you
hey hey heeey..
Dont make fun of me... according to my blog records in 2008 alone i have blogged 15 times! thaat in my books is equivalent to having 15 no 1 hits. so its a big deal ok!!!
anywaay... hellooooo
long time no see.... you when i feel like blogging, when religion and race issues come up, and i find that i have some sort of opinion and then i feel like blogging about it...
buuuuuuut i always get sooo lazy.
Aussie-tra-lia... is pretty cool.. weather is getting all warm and nice... i haave no idea how i found Summer cold the last time i was here.... ive been walking lots...
i swear ive been gettin really fat.. sure my weight doesnt seem to be increasing ( im sure the freaking scale is broken) but i can tell... all these layers of fats spilling over... not that there is anything wrong with that i suppose... but my almost my entirely life ive been pretty skinny or at least average/normal... and i gotta stick to that...
its cool.. exams are gonna be over in just a few days... ill bring out the workout-aholic in me!
So as you may know, Australians listen to different music, but clubs still play the usual, although im pretty sure id make a better DJ, they play full songs! all the freaking time...
So thanks to my cousins ( rena and cal).. and this dude i met, who's totally a rocker, he has the the whole long hair thing going on and everything, always playing the guitar and in every conversations he makes some sort of reference to music...
so yea... with all these 3 people... i decided to broaden my music horizen, expand and be open and willing to accept new stuff..
seriously i have even started listenin to Prince!
i mean.. c'mon Prince?? i never thought that day would come..
but for what its worth... he'z pretty talented, he writes all his own songs and music... he plays alot of the guitar solos, and thats pretty impressive..
reminds me a little of Micheal Jackson, but where MJ sang about unity, peace and equality, Prince has songs which are purely sex orientated...
try this and ull know what i mean ripopgodazippa - Prince
i also have gotten into The Presets, they're Australian though in the electro funk/dance genre
and it took me 3 months to get into it.. i used to tell Rena ' nop, sorry, doesnt do anything for me, just cant get into it'
and then 3 weeks ago i hear them in a club... and Im all ' Omg Renaaa..!! its our sooong!' and then i run out to the dance floor with her... talk about music evolution
try this too My People - The Presets
during my 9 week holiday back in home sweet home i am gonna miiisss the dance funk/electro funk music that they play in the clubs here..
Congrats to Rena, Calvin and rocker dude ( jimmy) for getting me to listen to 'previously unheard of ' melodies... good effort guys =)
and if you're bored try Jeff Beck - Dirty Mind ( no lyrics... just amazing guitar work though)
