The past couple of weeks have been terribly busy to me. Looking back, I cannot imagine I lived through all the sleepless nights and fatigue days in school. I can proudly say, however, that my eyes are recovering.

So I’ve been taking loads of pictures. Over a thousand in two weeks, which is satisfying, but annoying. This week I have lots of projects to work on again. There’s the Biba advertisement (photography and Photoshop work) to do for Meya’s sister in London, the photography contest I joined where I have to come up with a concept, the Springboard Foundation Christmas Party, three English coursework’s, my Art work journal, Maddie’s leaving present DVD, swimming gala, Christmas present shopping, preparing for Switzerland and God knows I have some other things to do. It’s a complete over load that must be completed in one or two weeks. 

I’ve been feeling shit and happy at the same time. It’s one of those feelings you can’t describe, and I hate those. It’s like a stranger or phantom has possessed your body and there’s no way of controlling it. What makes it worse is the upcoming trip to Switzerland which will get me in a really off mood. Really, I’d much rather stay here where the familiar faces live.

Eh. I lied. I’m too lazy to post pictures right now. Maybe next time!

There’s a man on a megaphone parading my street playing terrible music who deserves a slap in the face. Christmas is so soon; I’m in need of the Christmas spirit as you can see! Help me! Oh, and farewell Michele. :( See you in 2007! ♥

I do have more updated pictures, but can't you tell I'm lazy? I feel sunburnt, which doesn't sound too insane considering we had Personal Survival today and I nearly died from the overwhelming pain of my pinky-toe cramp! Sounds stupid, I know. But thank God, Lizzie the Cramp Doctor saved my life! And did you know that sometimes, even the smallest injuries hurt the most? This is because when you get a cut, or something, the nerves send an impulse informing your brain about your pain. Sometimes, if there are too many injuries/pain at the same time, the nerves have too much information to carry and pass around all at once that you don't feel it hurt as bad as an insignificant paper cut. Interesting, huh?

Busy week, and I'm sure next week will be equally tough. Sucks for me. :(
TO DO LIST:
FRIDAY 24

And ofcourse, somewhere between those times, I really need to start preparing for my first real project with my camera to be; which includes looking for model(s), a location, an idea/theme and then photoshopping the whole thing. Plus, I have to do a lot of homework and courseworks. I need to do it because I'll be flying to Switzerland for my fucking Christmas "break" and I know I wouldn't dare touch homework during vaccations abroud and me and my sister are going to visit her (possible) universities. My art project is my biggest concern. Other than that, I'll be useless in Switzerland. I'm ending now before I start venting pages about being dragged along for my break.

Halloween, 2006

November 10, 2006

I don't even know the time, but I'm going to take a "nap" (in my case, that's about four-six hours.) I probably wont wake up until tomorrow morning, or later at twelve. But I'm going to make some oatmeal cookies in celebration for Alia turning sixteen. Join the club!

I can't promise anything, but I'll be using this as a public journal in relation to my Multiply, which recently I've been annoyingly active with.

waning! if you are afraid of dolls; do not proceed! these pictures might be scary or "creepy" to some.

no need to click the images to get the bigger size. it's not the original size (300x400) i intended it to be, but again, .PNG resized it. either way, im happy with it being quite small, its less grainier this way and i wanted most of these to be seperately shown because, well, they're not really "memory" photos. it was more of a photoshoot... for inanimate objects. :D oh, and this computer is photoshop-impaired, so i didn't get to put my name on the images to ensure no one would steal it. if you would like one/some of the images, don't be a-scared to ask!

august 15; oma's (grandmothers) porecline dolls
two dolls and a beautiful stroller.

these dolls were one of the only things i was ever excited about taking pictures of. i remember playing with these dolls with my sister and cousins when we were much younger. they're so delicate and precious; until now i'm afraid to touch it. either way, they're still so beautiful and a memory of my grandmother, louisa. ♥

>>>

august 15; random things
just a bunch of random things.

the dark lighting just made these things seem interesting to me! :D oh, and those are not my cigarettes. i don't like that brand! ;) my dads camera is a genius.

*pictures were taken with a canon digital ixus 400; 4 mega pixels, no flash, macrow and in "daylight" effect. originally the sizes were either: 480x640, 768x1024 or 1704x2272.

comments, questions, suggestions, constructive critisism? sure, thanks!

monster hospital, please release me

includes: jungfrau montain, the zoo, the funny horse pub amd street parade.

click the smaller images to see a larger image. forgiveness; the .PNG files are much clearer, but slower to load. also, the images get smaller. once you click it, it will open up in a new window and show a .JPG file, which is the next best thing, but still a bit grainy and icky. heck with it.

august 07-08; jungfrau mountain overnight stay
ciara, bianca, me and scenery.

these following pictures were taken by my dad.
i only picked some other-wise it will look like a repeat of pictures. yawn!

we were forced to come here with our parents because our dads had a business meeting with some chef who surprisingly enough, cooked all the way up in the mountain. jungfrau is called the "top of europe." i forget why, but it pretty much is self explainitory. my dad didn't tell me it was going to be in the minus degree's, so... that explains the skirt and two layers of leggings i had to wear. it wasn't actually that cold; it was just my fingers that nearly got frostbite. ;x nevertheless, it was beautiful, and how often will i see snow in the summer!

>>>

august 09; walterman zoo
animals.

i was forced to come here with my family, and my aunts family. it got me VERY annoyed to be forced to come to a zoo because i have strong beliefs against it. pet stores, circuses, zoos... not something i would pay to go see. animal cruetly is what it is, and it's one purpose is to make fucking money, not to help the animals. people were throwing rocks on the turtles and throwing popcorn to the crocodiles and all their food were infested with flies. it was disgusting to see a human not care for living organisms. taking an animal away from its natural habitat, and placing it on forgein land in a cage is not helping an animal. and im sorry, putting a fucking twig and leaf or two to make it feel like its home does not help; it's robbing animal of its living nature. i felt disgusted to be with my family, who paid and supported for the zoo. i would like to add i only took pictures of the first two sets; the rest were taken by my dad. i took videos instead, and i was giving my family the silent treatment.

august 09; k-shake, austria
jeanine, ciara, anita and me.

we went to a club in austria (because we live in the side of switzerland which is very close to austria.) unfortunately, we didn't get to take very many pictures because we were basically dancing the whole night and getting drinks. no intention to be rude, but hot damn, the boys in these clubs beat the boys in the philippines. except here, they just stare you down like your animals and are too wussy to talk. oh, and the bartender was fucking hot -- yeah, i'd tap that! a lot of people were on drugs; it wasn't to hard to spot them. we got our picture taken, too. apparently, k-shake is really cool because it has different rooms, like an alternative-punk room and a dance room. website, anyone?

>>>

august 11; the funny horse pub
jeanine, ciara, me, zsolt, gabor, jimmel, nosh, matthias, breggy and some more boys.

i didn't eat the whole day; and damn, i don't remember what i drank. some disgusting shots and lots of beer. in switzerland you have to be sixteen to buy beer, wine and cigarettes, everything else is eighteen. thank god for alcohol, because i remember calling over these boys from another table to come sit with us, they were cute! ;D god, that night was a blur, i dont remember much of what happened, or even being introduced to some of the people, which explains why i dont know many of their names, heh. but we actually managed to have good talk with a couple of the boys.

>>>

august 12; the street parade
ciara, zsolt, jeanine, jimmel etc.

not a great time this year; i didn't even get to take a lot of pictures because i was so pissed off of the selfish acts of the people i was with. i got to see albert for three minutes, which was probably the highlight of my trip there. YES, it was that fucking terrible. we even only stayed until eight pm, wtf? some italian man came up to me, speaking in italian, i replied "ENGLISH! i speak english!" and he said some words in italian that i understood and then said "you are very beautiful!" i should be flattered, but i understood what he said beforehand and it was "with those looks you must be italian." someones too bigheaded about their country; go screw yourself. then as i was walking through the crowd all these old, drugged european men kept gropping my ass and saying things to me, shouting rude words like "sexy!" and staring at uncomfortable places. i had to keep pulling my dress down because i thought maybe the length was short. WRONG! when i went to the toilet, i realised the reason i got attention from all these men was because my tube dress had falled under my breast and so my blue bra and boobs were exposed. i felt so dirty and whorish! :( but i was wearing a jacket, thank god for that.

this photographer wanted to take our picture, but i had to call the people walking ahead to stop so we wouldn't get lost. the photographer was already getting ready to take the picture and i didnt want to jump in, i hate people who do that in pictures. and he didnt even give us a card, like last year -- which means its going to be impossible to find the picture.

long before rock and roll

2006-08-11T10:00:32Z

includes: bathing pictures, jimmels house, thomas' house, samuel's house, rolling stones and jeanine and yanoshs' birthday.

yes, im going to make life difficult and make you click the smaller .PNG image to access the bigger .JPG image. (it opens up in a new window) i hate how other file formats are so unclear and grainy, .PNG forever, but the size is always too big. :(

july 30; sun-bathing outside the house
jeanine, ciara and random things.

cousin jeanine and sister ciara were sunbathing, taking advantage of the sun which was the smartest choice because the sun is currently hiding this summer holiday and beind replaced by rain and wind. i ofcourse didn't sunbathe. the sun loathes me, and i didn't want to spend my european summer being burnt to death. god bless the rain!

>>>

july 30; at jimmels house
jeanine, ciara, zsolt, simmon, josef and me.

headed to jimmels house to drink and hang out, later finding it was mostly a sausage fest. in some ways, a GREAT thing, in other ways... made me not interested in being straight. there were some cuties, though. ;D lmfao at zsolt (jeanines boyfriend), who always turns loud and gay when drunk -- that's him crawling under the table looking for people to donate money for kebab (the newest food trend in switzerland.) apart from my mother, my sister and contact back in the philippines; jimmel is the only other person we can speak filipino to. the other swiss people try desperately hard to speak english or tagalog, but it's almost useless. ;) cute, but useless.

>>>

july 31st; thomas' birthday
jeanine, ciara and zsolt.

at first, we walked up this dark woods to go to this little hidden house. we were waiting outisde for about ten minutes because zsolt said the party was there, so we thought they were all hiding. eventually, we called them and we walked the wrong way. we finally got there, and we all just hung about, drinking and talking. it was 96% boys almost 100% of them were single. oh my god, its always a fucking sausage fest, and these boys... they love to talk.

>>>

august 01; swiss national day; samuels house
jeanine, ciara, me, gabor, jimmel, andy, simon AND SHIT I FORGOT THE NAMES (must edit)

usually, we'd have to spend our days with our family. if not, the furthest place away we can go is... in the village. this year, they actually let us go out. a lot of our family didnt come because they were on holiday or just not fucking bothered, plus, the weather was shit so they wernt able to display the fireworks. what else were us teens meant to do? we went to samuels house and again... almost a fucking sausage fest. whatever, us girls love the attention, dont we? the boys were... drunk? they started beat boxing, rapping and dancing to someones english tongue twisters homework from school, lmfao. we've got some great videos! ;D

>>>

august 05; rolling stones concert, a bigger bang tour
ciara, me, rolling stones, scenery and the view.

this is the part where you get so jealous of me because i got to see the ever sexy mick jagger. for a couple songs, the stage moved forward and i was about ten metres away from him! :o he's still sexy and he still knows how to rock a concert dead. i also thank the friendly tall people who let me and my sister closer to the front because of our midget genes.

>>>

august 06; jeanine's fifteenth/yanoshs' sixteenth birthday
jeanine, ciara, faeba, anita, josef, yanosh, andy/"comander", nino and me.

we spent our cousin jeanine's birthday in our basement, and we invited some friends over as well as yanosh, who also celebrated his brithday there. it started off slow, but ended up being lots of fun. our parents cut us off at about 12:30am because of the "loud music" so we just chilled out and cleaned the place. p.s: i hate beer more than i ever did.
