hi! i'm als & this is my blog.

i write about random things.
these days i write pretty sporatically.
sometimes i completely rave about something, like a tv show but sometimes i write pretty serious things.
i write in short phrases, i like the freedom of not having to write in proper punctuation and grammar.
i'm a christian. i also ♥ music, art, photography, movies, tv & books.

hope you enjoy ♥

junkie

another thing that i do not like about the exam period
i dress like a slob
and then feel very self concious if i bump into someone i know.

i probably won't blog as much due to the same reason
really need to study
but i think, that i am in a better position this point in time
than i was this tme last year.

a song that i really really like right now is
The Jane Doe's - Junkie
:)
listen to them on their myspace
here
do it !!


now, i really really really want a guitar
i always wanted one
but now i really really really do
and i can't be bothered waiting for jacky to buy me one
and will buy it myself
soon.
not til after exams though,
cos i'll be distracted.

back to study now.
& being a good girl.

lotsoflove

midnight meal

i hate exam times
i always eat random crap in the middle of the night
just because i want to
its not even just snacks
last night i ate a whole huge bowl of pasta
cos i accidentally cooked too much
convincing myself that i'll study better
and thats how i always gain weight during exams
:(

i also hate that is winter
technically its not, but it basically is
yes, i do hate winter
its so cold, and gloomy
and you get sick
and i always get really pale
which emphasises the bags under my eyes
its horrible
:(
on the other hand,
i love summer.
its sunny & happy.
wish it were still here.

ok, i should go now and study
i still have uni later

auf Wiedersehen!

halfie foods

i love looking at asian packaging
that is in english
there's almost always something wrong with it
the writing i mean
anyway,
theres one at home i have right now
its not grammatically incorrect or anything
but the 'brand' i doubt it actualy is the brand anyway
is called london
and the name of the food is swiss roll
and its made in malaysia
talk about nationality confused food
or maybe the food is a halfie
:)

oh, so lately
not really lately, but this week
i've been using a brown shampoo&conditioner
and my hair is so shiny and soft now
:)
it really is
maybe though, its cos its only my 2nd wash
i hope it doesn't wear off
its one of those expensive salon ones that i bought from priceline.
(but this one was on special, so it was cheaper, unlike the john freida ones which are $16 EACH)
ja.
and my hair is browner
it really is.

i bought a new dress today
sort of an impulse buy
i saw it last week but didn have time to try it on
but i tried it on today
and bought it
even though i don't really need it
oh well
at least, i still really like it
:)

oh oh oh
i know this might sound really lame
bu i do get excited about stupid things
(it's true, just ask jacky)
i can swallow humungous sized tablets now
& i don't even need a full glass of water.
and by big i mean
its like 2.5 cm long and super fat
i used to not be able to do it
(i couldnt even swallow panadol sometimes and they are quite small)
it would get stuck in my throat and i would get scared and gag it out.
but yay
i can do it now.

i must go study now.
i have a test tmr & i really know nothing.

ciao!

i'm trying to blog more photos
cos i do like photography
but i'm too busy to take my own these days
so i like looking for other peoples instead
:)
so yes, go and check out their photostream if you like it

most people have downloaded this already
but yeah free coldplay album download here
i really love it
but maybe cos it takes be back to the concert i went to
:) :) :)
(it was damn awesome)
(but then now, i can't really convince jacky to come gigs with me cos he says it won't be as good as coldplay)

i have a habit of writing lists
and timetables
i do love writing them
i guess i gives me a sense of achievement
though i do hardly keep them
and when i'm writing them it makes me feel like i'm actually doing something
i wish i actually was though

oh, last thing
i need a new usb
cos i broke mine
literally
broke
the front bit it actually dislodged from the body
and you can actually take the chips out if you wated to
don't ask how i did it
:)
i'm either a huge klutz
or



a genius :)

fat cheeks

been eating a lot lately
i mean i love eating food
but i dont like putting on weight
cos it gives me fat cheeks
if only the food only went to my thighs
then i would be totally fine with it
but i hate having chubby cheeks
:(

a really annoying yet addictive song is Jimmy by M.I.A.
its friggin stuck in my head
& the clip is strange too
its bollywood style
but then theres a bit where she's dancing in silhouette
heres the clip: click here

i dont know if you've seen this
but i find it quite funny
& if you have time watch the other ones in the series
:)


i bought an awesome top today
at my local op shop
which is run by old ladies
so they dont really know the cost of things these days
yeah, i bought it for $1
:)
its so cute.
its a smock navy top
but it has a cute yellow lining with a bird pattern
will wear it soon, so you can see it :)

un-likely

a singer/band/musician that i have been listening to lately
is Lykke Li
i presume it is pronounced 'likely'
i discovered her on my recommendations on last.fm
saying her similar artists were Ladyhawke & Whitest Boy Alive
but, no
not really.
she's alright though.
i can sort of see where the are coming from with ladyhawke
but unlike ladyhawke the beats she uses aren't like 'doof doof'
or in other words hard hitting electronically generated beats
i mean she has them, but they aren't hard hitting
& she uses more exotic instruments
i think
her song Little Bit and Dance Dance Dance has a slight Jamaican feel about it
though it is slight
and shes a lot softer, in terms of singing
her singing reminds me of this French singer, Soko
sort of.

another singer, which seems to have a lot of hype around her
she's more similar to ladyhawke
is Little Boots
but for me, she's a little undewhelming

she doesn't live up to the hype
the songs that i have heard from her are quite unoriginal
like they've been before
though i'll give her credit for being an awesome DJ

& one last thing
i really love all the covers done by the Kooks
maybe just because i really like the Kooks
but yes.
i've heard them cover Crazy - Gnarls Barkley
Violent Hill - Coldplay
& also Kids -MGMT
and i really like the covers

so yes.
what i'm loving & not loving
at the moment.

lotsoflove♥

beauty and the beast

went to see mhs/macrob musical tonight
it was really good.
i was still iffy about going to see the musical before i went
but i'm very glad i did
way way way better than when i was at school
(minus les mis, but i didnt see that anyway so i dont know if it was better or not)
& the costumes were friggin awesome
they really were :)
my fav was the clock.
though
i know some of us (cough, sarah) had a bit of an issue with the beast being asian.
lol.
& it was such a shock when the teacup was turned around and we found there was a little boy's head there
i still don't know if it was really a little yr 9 mhs boy that has not reached his growth spurt yet
or if it was actually a little boy
cos i initally thought it was a little girl and it sounded like a girl
but belle was really really good
she had an awesome voice.
:)

oh, though today i had an encounter with this safeway chick
i was at work so i always go to that safeway
and she recognises me
& she's come in before looking for a job
yeah well, i bought some stuff at safeway
and it was only five dollars something but i wanted change
so gave her a fifty and shes like do you have anything smaller, i don't have change
i said no
can you eftpos?
and i said i dont have money in it (which is actually true)
and obviously she did have change so she was forced to give it to me
and she like "you work in a phrmacy, you should know what its like without change"
and stuffs my things into a bag
i mean she sorta slams it in
and she grabs and slams the nexts persons stuff as well
she has a friggin attitude problem
like, i'm seen her get all pissy before as well
when this old lady made her double bag everything
and she was slamming things in.
and she has a really annoyed look on her face.
anyway, i was so annoyed when i left
like 1. what does the pharmacy have to do with anything? i'm not a friggin checkout chick
2. if someone gave me a fifty, i would give them change if i had change (& not lie about it) & be nice about it. mean we run out of change all the time, but i always fgure out a way, there's no need to react like that.
3. i gave her a fifty, which meant she needed to give me two twentys back. There were twentys , not like i asked her to give me four tens or soemthing, as if you need to keep that many twentys in the til. you only need to give a twenty change is when someone gives you fifty. like i said, no need to react like that.
ok, rant spiel over.

i had one last thing i wanted to blog about.
trying to think of what it was.
oh yes,
i did(dispensed) my first script today (or yesterday, techically its yesterday, but its still saturday to me) !!
no one probably cares
but
its kinda exciting for me. :)

oh & one last thing

happy birthday jacky :)

room.
dark, empty, lonesome.

walls.
peeling,

like she.



she stares
at the reflection staring back
could one love such like me?

cheeks heavily sunken,
eyes dark, puffy.
thin lips.

bony arms reach towards her hair,
fine, wispy
gradually falling.

ribcage visible,
moving in sync with her breaths.

eyes fall upon the bread before her,
she despises it.


she peels off a small piece,
feeding to her mouth.

her eyes wet.

she chews.
fearing to swallow.

tears gathering.

mush makes its way,
down her throat

cheeks streaked.
she can no longer bear it.

eyes skim across her stomach,
her arms, her thighs.

fingers pull non existence fat.

then,
in her mind,
it clicks.

plate smashes,
thousand fragments.

imagining bread on flesh,
frenzy starts.


schreeching,
screaming,
squealing,
cussing.
head bashing walls.
fingers peeling skin.
fists bashing stomach.
legs thrashing.
tears pouring.
self destruction.

but at that moment

light rays
pierce through,
artfully dusty windows.

she looks up.


a moment of hope.

swine

last week was absolutely hilarious
everyone was so obsessed with the swine flu
we had people coming into the pharmacy buying face masks
not just ordinary ones
they were like 10 bucks each
and a guy ordered in like a box of 30 (thats 300 bucks worth of face masks)
insane, huh?
it was quite funny.

i'm currently a bit zonked out right now
if you know what i mean
i'm awake but not
i had way too long afternoon nap
so i'm not tired
but i'm too lethargic to do anything

i was meant to have a 6 hour prac today
but we did it really quick that it was only 3 and a half hours
and in between we went to play xbox for half an hour
so technically it was only 3 hours.
score.

"flow sweetly,
hang heavy,
you suddenly complete me,
you suddenly complete me."
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Hysteric


lots of love ♥

hide & seek


Hide & Seek
Originally uploaded by isayx3

this pic is so cute :)

its very nostalgic
i remember when i was little
& i loved playing hide & seek
i used to get the most awesome hiding spots
but then it was kinda lonely after a while when no one can find you
and i tend to give up because i get worried that people might leave me there.

but i still love finding stuff now.
i like treasure hunts.
i really do.
its so fun.
i don't know.
when i find the thing i'm meant to be finding
it gives me a sense of achievement.
:)
maybe i'm still very childish.
oh well.

love.

another sighting

i saw frau paffenholz (my ex german teacher) again today
she was riding a bike
& i was crossing the road
i actualy talked to her today
i was like "frau! frau!"
she was like, "OH!"
and smiled her cute swinty eye smile
and waved.
then i was like, "are you going home now?"
she was like, "no, i'm going to buy food"
and i was like, "ok, bye" and waved
and she rode off
aww.

can you keep a secret?


i'm loving the whitest boy alive's new album Rules
i would add the song 'keep a secret' to my page
but im still yet to figure out how to do that

ok, so working in a pharmacy
i encounter some weird people
and by weird, i mean weird
yesterday, a lady came in and asked or Daktarin
(its an antifungal cream)
so i asked if she was using it for tinea
(cos thats what it is usually used for)
and she said, 'no i use it for eveything'
and basically explained that she used it for chaffing between her legs
which i thought fair enough
AND THEN
she said 'my doctor even said i can put some on my tampon and stick it inside me'
ew ew ew ew

alo, some people coming into the pharmacy really shit me
they think i know absolutely nothing
they'd come in and ask for the pharmacist,
only just to give in the scripts
or tey'd ask for the pharmacist
just to ask them about cold and flu meds
i mean, dude we're not just there to look pretty
that's the job that we're meant to do
oh and its even worse, when they talk condesendingly to you
like you don't know anything
when i get really annyed though
i'd be like "i've worked here for 6 months now, a lot of it full time"
or i'd be like "i'm actually studying phamacy"
stupid people

anyhow,
hope you guys spoil your mums today

toodles!

no-tox & bus tales

hello, i started the a new blog cos the ther one sucks
i could never open it properly anymore.

um, i read in the mx like last week that people have been selling botox (botulinum toxin) injections on the internet
i was nearly so passionate about t to sms to the mX,
then i couldn't be bothered.
but you haveno idea how dangerous that is
botlinum toxin is one of the most dangerous drugs out there
it only takes a minute amount to kill you
and by minute we're talking around one millionth of a gram
ok, maybe cos i learnt about it in my lectures
thats why i'm so passionate about it
because i know exactly what it does to your body
and if it is used incorrectly it could mean paralysis or death
no joke

ok, on a lighter note
i was on the bus today and there were these two mothers each with a kid
o boy and one girl
and the boy was so sweet & cute
the girl was crying cos she got in trouble for being naughty
and the boy was like "whats wrong?" with a concerned look
and then after the mum was like "go sit next to brodie"
and he made a room for her and said "come sit next to me"
so cute
but the girl was really annoying though

she kept schreeching and schreeching
at one point the boy kissed the girl on the cheek
and the girls mum was like "that so cute"
but the girl was like "he hit me"
and the mum was like "he didn't hit you, he kissed you. you should kiss him back."
haha
oh, i should mention the kids look like they are 3 or 4

i should really go and study now.
or i will fail my test on monday.
again.

lots of love
